|
|
Important information will be coming home tomorrow with your child. In the envelope you will find your child's report card, (only 1st-8th grade, K3-K5 does not get a report card until 2nd semester) the 2019-2020 registration letter and re-enrollment forms, 1st Quarter at a Glance, information about our safety plan and financial information from Home and School. The registration information will go to the youngest or only child.
Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th are conferences. Please use these links to sign up. Jr. High families please only sign up for one teacher. We want everyone to have a spot. If you need to see more than one teacher, please contact the teacher directly.
Did you know that St. Mary's has a Quiz Bowl team? Quiz Bowl is an academic game played by Jr. High students. They race to answer questions about history, science, literature and more. Our Quiz Bowl team has a home meet this Saturday. Please come and show your support. It is from 8:30-3:00
Did you know that a portion of the proceeds from the Seton Volleyball Tournament are designated to be distributed to the Foundation for Religious Retirement and the Waukesha County Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund? It is used to make Catholic school education a real possibility for those students who would not otherwise be able to afford full tuition. Assistance is awarded in the form of $1,000 grants. Monies are given to the school and are credited to the family. Since the beginning of the Seton, over $85,000 in scholarships have been awarded to families. The following link will provide you with more information and access to the application. Please know that to be considered, the application must be completed, signed by myself or Fr. Peter and received on or before April 1, 2020. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Winter has arrived early this year. Please make sure your child is dressing for the weather. That includes a coat, leg covering, hats, gloves, boots and snow pants if necessary. We do go outside for recess every day.
Remember, the food for the Thanksgiving Drive is due Wednesday, November 18. A letter went home on Tuesday, click here to see it again.
*Be KIND online
Faithfully Yours,

New School Door Bell
We have a new school door bell. All you need to do is press the bell button once and then look for the green light. You will not hear it like the last one. The school office hears it and will let you in.
Makerspace
The makerspace is a place where young people have an opportunity to explore their own interests; learn to use tools and materials, both physical and virtual; and develop creative projects. The makerspace is in need of tape (any kind). Thank you!

The SMV Oktoberfest Annual Auction for Education planning is well underway! This premier annual event will be held on March 28, 2020. Save the date! The auction committee needs your help in making this, SMV's largest fundraiser of the year, our most successful to date! Proceeds from past auctions have been used to support the purchase technology needs, instruments for the music program, air conditioning for the classrooms, a new gym floor, the art teacher salary, classroom spending money for the teachers, and a new playground for our students.
Both Live and Silent Auction donations are needed. We are looking for tickets (i.e. Packers, Brewers, Admirals, Bucks, Badgers and Marquette), condo stays (local or otherwise), hotel and airline points, concert and event tickets, gift cards, corporate sponsorships, and cash donations! We appreciate your consideration and generosity!
If you would like to donate, but do not have any ideas, check out the Amazon Cart. These items will be used in the raffles and silent/live auction packages.
The auction website is also available for online donations, downloading auction forms, and finding additional information regarding the event. Visit www.stmaryeg.org/auction.html
and also feel free to email the 2020 Auction Team with any questions you may have at auction@stmaryeg.org.
With gratitude,
Elizabeth Hagman and Michelle Thomet

An AOK has been spotted! And check out those SMV t-shirts! We love seeing our students out in the community helping others. Recently the Bolger and Zils family spent the evening volunteering at Mercy Mats West Allis. They helped by making plarn, which is plastic yarn that will be crocheted into mats for the homeless. Thank you Zils family for sharing your time and helping those in need. Definitely an amazing Aok!

This week, our volleyball season comes to a close. We would like to thank all the coaches once more, for volunteering their time and talent to instruct our young athletes:
8th grade boys: Margaret Thew and Jack Hauser
8th grade girls: Sandy Bratina, Jen Zierer and Michele Griffin
7th grade boys: Ryan Parsons and Bernard Kearney
7th grade girls: Marissa Selthafner and James Selthafner
6th grade boys: Michele Griffin and Rob Griffin
6th grade girls: Jim Walters, Kevin Carnell and Chad Schmidt
5th grade boys: Kevin LeRoy and Kevin Carnell
5th grade girls: Steve Perez and Paul Bierdemann
We would like to recognize two of our SMV teams that placed in their division:
5th grade boys placed 2nd in the Luke Division with an 8 -2 record. Coached by Kevin LeRoy and Kevin Carnell
7th grade girls placed 3rd in the Matthew "B" Division with a 7-3 record. Coached by Marissa Selthafner and James Selthafner
To all our SMV Volleyball players, especially our 8th grade boys and girls, we appreciate all the time and dedication you put forth this season.
I would like to take a moment to thank Sandy Bratina for all she has contributed to the SMV Volleyball Program. Sandy has helped with coordinator duties the past 3 years, and was also a volleyball coach for SMV for the past six seasons.
Finally, to our SUPER FANS out there, we love having you in the crowd and look forward to seeing you at our home basketball games!
Keep on cheering - Gladiators on 3...
1-2-3
.... Go Gladiators!

There is a great opportunity for our players to watch some exciting Marquette Women's Volleyball! MU Women's volleyball is now ranked #10!!
I have submitted all of our rosters (5th-8th grade) to the ticketing office, for the Nov 8th game against DePaul University at 7pm. The game is at the Al McGuire Center on Marquette's Campus. If you are interested in going, you will need to visit the ticketing office at the Al McGuire (straight and to the right upon entering) to sign in for your ticket.
Parents / siblings would have to buy their own tickets - $5 / adult, $3 for children <12 years, but it's well worth it!!
I would recommend anyone going to arrive early. Seats are first come first serve.
This would be a fun end of season party for your team or for individual players and families to go on their own.
