Important Request from Principal
Please do not allow your children to bring Fidget Spinners to school. We find them to be very distracting, so we ask that you please keep them at home. If your child needs a Fidget Spinner while at school, it will be issued by Mrs. Thiele. Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter.

They can use sizes for children from 0-3 months all the way up to 17-year-old children.
Mr. Gerry will have a box near the office to collect the donations during the weeks of May 15-19 and May 22-26.
Thank you in advance for your generous help. Please keep our mission team in your prayers as we travel from June 2nd through June 12th.
Greendale Library Art Exhibit
The Greendale Library Art Exhibit featuring art from St. Alphonsus students went on display Saturday, April 29, 2017. This exhibit features a variety of art work created by students in Grades K – 7. The eighth graders will have their own exhibit at school on May 25, 2017.
There will be an “Opening Reception” for this exhibit at 3:00 PM on Monday, May 8th. However, you are welcome to go to the library and view the exhibit at any time during regular library hours.
I hope you have a chance to see the exhibit and celebrate the hard work and talent of our St. Alphonsus students. It is amazing to me to see what they can do!
Please note that some students may not have work in the exhibit. This is not due to any reason other than a time factor. Many great works of art are still on display at school. When viewing the exhibit, please look everywhere. Pieces are on pillars and bookshelf ends, on glass walls, and on cork strips around the library.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Kehm for helping me every year with the hanging of this exhibit. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the exhibit!
Mrs. Pledl
