St. Vincent DePaul Coat and Sweater Drive

While it seems that the heat of August has hung on into

October, winter temperatures will be here soon. Many

children and adults lack the proper clothing to keep warm in

the cold weather. St. Teresa’s St. Vincent De Paul

Conference is joining with Youth Group to collect gently-

worn sweaters and coats of all sizes to help needy people

keep warm this winter. Containers will be located in

school outside the cafeteria, in the back vestibule and in

the breezeway of church October 19 through 29 to

receive new or gently used, clean coats and sweaters in

all sizes (children and adults). We will also accept

scarves, mittens, hats, and socks. This is a great way to

help neighbors in need and make some room in your closet. Note: Saint Vincent De Paul will conduct its first

distribution of coats for the winter season at Elder High

School on Saturday, November 16. Any needy family is

eligible to receive coats at this event.

THE BRUIN BULLETIN St. Teresa of Avila

This week we shine the Spotlight on….

Mrs. Jennifer Ostertag

Teaches: Principal

Personal Info: I am married to Tom Ostertag. We

have three children: Jobie, Faith & Hudson.

Where I Grew up: I grew up in Delhi. I went to

St. Dominic, Seton High School and the college of

Mt. St. Joseph (now known as Mt. St. Joseph

University).

Reason I Became a Teacher: “Since 2nd grade, I

have always wanted to be a teacher. My 7th grade

science teacher showed me how fun learning can be

and I wanted to do that for my own students. Last

year, I was part of the Aspiring Leaders Residency

through the Archdiocese. Through this residency, I

felt called to be a principal. I am so excited to be here

at St. Teresa.”

Birthday: August 24th

Pets: A dog “Reese”. We call him Reese Cup

because of his coloring.

Favorite Color: Blue

Favorite Snacks: Cheese popcorn

Hobbies: Watch my sons play soccer, do crafts, go

camping, garden and read.

Something Interesting you may not know about

me: “I have taught all grades, second through eighth

grade. My favorite subjects are Math and Science. I

have been a teacher for 21 years. This is my first year

of being a principal!”
