annual fall fundraiser

Two Mile Walk and Pancake Breakfast
The St. Theresa Stampede is the annual fall fundraiser held in October. Money raised is used for items not included in the school's operating budget. A two-mile health walk begins and ends at Colby Park in Windsor Heights followed by a pancake breakfast in the Parish Hall.

The St. Theresa Stampede, now in it's 24th year, has generated over $350,000 in funding for non-budgeted items for the children attending the Westside Catholic elementary school that serves families from nine communities (Des Moines, Windsor Heights, Clive, Johnston, Urbandale, West Des Moines, Grimes, Polk City and Ankeny). Fall 2008 enrollment is 300+ students, with children coming from more than 200 families.

St. Theresa School is accredited by the Iowa Department of Education and has its own 501c3 foundation, the St. Theresa School Foundation. Gifts to the school or to its foundation are tax-deductible within limits established by the Internal Revenue Service.
