Principal Notes March 28, 2019
|
|
Dear Families,
Today we are at the midpoint of Lent. Every day during Lent, Dr. Kathleen Cepelka, our Superintendent of Catholic Schools, sends the principal's a Lenten reflection. I thought I would share one with you:
"Peter approached Jesus and asked Him, 'Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus answered, 'Not seven times, but seventy times seven times.'" Matthew 18: 21 - 22
What can be harder than letting go of a grudge, an experience of diminishment, or
a personal injustice-perceived or real? Hardly a day passes, with students, parents, or co-workers,
when we're not tempted to remember and revive past wrongs. We pray today for hearts
of limitless forgiveness and memories that do not linger over hurts. We pray to see our own hearts and the hearts of others with God's eyes.
The event we all have been waiting for, "Old Fashioned Supper Club Auction", is this weekend. The gym will be transformed into a magical evening for you. You have been so generous with your contributions. Every year proceeds from the auction and Stop the Auction go to support various endeavors throughout the school. This year proceeds will go to building an outdoor classroom at the corner of Crescent and Watertown Plank Road. Please go to the website and start bidding on your favorite items today!
The Daddy Daughter Dance is only a week away. If you have not sent in your reservation please do so. The last day to submit your reservation is tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day to bring in hygiene items for the clients of Milwaukee's House of Peace. Thank you for being so generous.
See you at the auction!
Mrs. Mary Tretow

Solo & Ensemble
On Saturday, five of our students participated in the Wisconsin School of Music Association's Solo & Ensemble district festival in West Allis. Isabel McDevitt and Marylin Lowden performed a duet, and Ceci Cornell, Grace Walters, and Rob Fuller performed solos at the festival. Isabel, Marylin, and Ceci all received 1 ratings, the highest possible score for their categories! Grace and Rob performed Class A solos and received 1* ratings, which means they are advancing to the State level next month! We are so proud of these hard working students - congratulations, everyone!

A familiar face to the halls of St. Mary's is that of Miss Benson. Miss Benson is the media specialist at SMV and has been part of our community for 21 years! The media specialist is in charge of the school's library and also coordinates all the technology in the school. Miss Benson's favorite aspect of her role at SMV is that the students are truly a "community of readers" and she feels "very privileged to work with families that are so strong in their faith". She really believes that St. Mary's is a unique and amazing place. This sentiment often strikes her as she walks through the halls of school, listening to the classrooms in action and participating with the students throughout the day.
Thank you Miss Benson for all YOU do to make SMV this unique and amazing place each and every day!
And with that you will find a few things that are Positively SMV!
