Dear Families,
Catholic
Schools Week is approaching quickly! We are looking forward to
lots of fun events and dress up days. We kick off the week with
Open House on
Sunday, January 29th from 10:00 am-1:00 pm. Students and parents
will be speaking at weekend masses, being greeters, and bringing
up the gifts. Field trip permission slips were sent home today
for Catholic Schools Week. Please check backpacks for those.
Congratulations to
Parker Grundvig, our school Geography Bee winner.
Parker will participate in a written test and his results will
be sent to the state competition. Congratulations also to
second place Liam Schwartz and third place Davis Barthen. The
questions were tough and they did a great job.
We had our annual
speed jumping contest on Wednesday. The
students are challenged to jump as many times as they can in ten
seconds. Winners at each level are eligible to participate in
the contest in Bloomer. Watch next week for that list!
Mrs. Karen Dorow, our parish and school finance director, will be leaving her
position at the end of February. Her family is moving to the
Manitowoc area. She has faithfully served us for many years and
we will really miss her. She leaves big shoes to fill, pray for
an easy transition.
Please note and open the attachments below. All contain
important information for you. Remember, adjusting to the
electronic packet might be a shift in how you are used to
getting school information, nut it's important that you develop
a method for doing it. Maybe you open it every Friday
afternoon, or Sunday evening.. Generally, the email is sent at
2 pm on Fridays. Either way, its so important that we all adjust
to this. We will be sending less and less home in hard copy.
SJHS'
St. Joe's Got Talent will be here before you
know it. SJHS
is looking for volunteers to assist with the
event. We will need help setting up, working at the event, and
more. Attached and sent home in hard copy is the order form for
tickets to the event. Get yours before they sell out!
February
12-14 is the Accreditation
Team visit. Four principals from the Diocese
will be here to see our school, interview parents, teachers, and
students, as well as look at paperwork to see that we are doing
what we say we are doing. The accreditation process is a
valuable one which we will receive commendations for the things
we do well as well as recommendations for things to include in
our next long range plan. We will be talking more about this to
the students in the upcoming weeks.
Report
cards were sent home today. It's kind of hard to believe we are
halfway through the year already. Have a great week!
Mrs. Drout |
