Dear Parents,
Your participation is requested to make your voice heard and help shape the future of Catholic education.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee is conducting a research study to better understand the decision-making process that parents go through when selecting a high school for their child.
The survey should take approximately 10-12 minutes to complete, and your identity and responses will be kept strictly confidential.
Six individuals
who complete the survey will be drawn at random to receive a
$50 Amazon gift card

Your survey must be completed by Friday, October 12.
Thank you in advance for your time!
Mrs. Stallmann

Thank you for your participation in the September collection of $1 for the non-uniform day. We will use the money collected in September to purchase any additional items we may need and to add shaving cream and razors. In November, the teachers will assemble and deliver the shower bags.
We are asking for specific donations by grade; however, if you have additional items that you would like to send, we will be happy to accept them. These shower supplies could be regular or travel size.
