    Thank you, Father Ron Knott for bringing this remarkable transformation to our old elementary school and the grounds of St. Theresa’s and providing this rich history. I had the privilege of growing up a Rhodes, living near Rhodelia and attending Crossroads Elementary with many of my cousins. We didn’t know at the time that our teachers, the SCNs, were providing us with a world class elementary education. I was fortunate to I have St. Rosemarie Kirwan as my eighth grade teacher. She and the other Sisters were smart, creative and self-sufficient. I am grateful for having been raised in the St. Theresa community.
