All our welcome to join us in a celebration of our sweet Mindy. Her funeral mass will be August 19th at 11am. 🤍 🕊️

*The school office will be closed all day the 19th. Thank you for understanding.

Dear families & friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of a beloved member of our St. Cecilia community, Mrs. Mindy Teach.

Mrs. Teach has been a part of this community for 26 years, first as a dedicated parent and the ultimate volunteer, and later as a beloved employee. Throughout her time with us she has battled a devastating Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis with incredible tenacity and grace. Though it may have slowed her physical pace, it never stopped her from living life to the fullest. When it robbed her of her ability to drive, Mindy was still able to coordinate all the lunch duty volunteers, as well as helping with front office tasks from home.

Though many of you may not have had the chance to meet her in person, please know that she cared for this community, her faith, and her family above all else. Please keep her husband and daughters in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this profound loss.

💙✨ We are happy to celebrate four very special members of our school family as they begin their well-earned retirement.

For years, our beloved "school grandmas" have shared their time, kindness, wisdom, and endless love with our students and staff. Their warm smiles, caring hearts, and unwavering support have touched countless lives and helped make our school feel like home.

While we will miss seeing them in the halls each day, we are so grateful for the impact they have made on our community. Thank you for everything you have done for our students and families.

Please join us in wishing them a retirement filled with joy, good health, new adventures, and plenty of time with family. 💐❤️

CELEBRATING A TRUE LEGEND: MADELAIN WESTERMANN

Today, the St. Cecilia Community is honoring one of our absolute brightest lights. Mrs. Westermann, who spent more than four decades pouring her heart and soul into education, has passed away. If you knew Mrs. Westermann, you knew her quick wit, her deep faith in the power of prayer, her hilarious sense of humor, and her unmatched passion for her students. She lived life to the absolute fullest and made our school a happier place to be. While she is no longer with us, her incredible legacy lives on in the thousands of students she inspired and the memories we will carry in our hearts forever. Thank you, Madelain, for a lifetime of dedication and laughter. You inspired the deep faith in God in so many students. You will be in our hearts forever.
