A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN

Dear St. Alphonsus Families,
As we get ready to go out and enjoy our Easter break, I want to take a moment and wish all of you a happy and holy Easter.
So far 101 people have signed up for my Remind 101. If you haven’t done so yet, this is a one-way texting app that I use to send short messages via text. If we have a snow day, inside pickup or a reminder about a special dress down day, I will send out a text. Anyone can sign up to receive the messages—mom, dad, grandma, babysitter. It is just one more way for St. Alphonsus to communicate with you!
We are in the process of our Annual Fund drive and we are really close to our goal. If you have not given yet to the Annual Fund, please prayerfully consider donating.
As we continue to accept registrations for next school year; please remember our new Tuition Referral Program. Get a new family to join our school for the 2019-2020 school year (K4-8th grades) and you will get $1,000 off your tuition! We have found that most families come to us because of word of mouth and we want to have a way to thank you when that happens.
Congrats to our middle school science fair winners:

Finally--When students come back from break, we have a special week planned. We are calling it Kindness Week. Students will be greeted by their teachers in the gym as they arrive. We will have a short prayer and rally together as a whole school. Each teacher has activities planned for each day around kindness with a focus on anti-bullying instruction. We are so excited to inspire the rebirth of kindness this spring.
Enjoy your weekend,
Mrs. Stallmann

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ST. ALPHONSUS FORENSICS TEAM!
Congratulations to the St. Alphonsus forensics team for taking 5th place in the “large” division at the State meet on Saturday, April 6th, at West Bend High School.
This is the school’s first ever trophy as a “large” entry (previous State accolades came as a “medium” or “small” entry). For context, there were 22 total “large” schools, and the competition is stiff at the “large” level.
As far as individual awards, Joey K. took 1st place in poetry, and Gabe T. earned 2nd place in storytelling. Erin G., Alex B. , and the duo of Vivian G. & Ava D. all made the “power round” (playoff round).
Thus ends a highly successful season!
