Principal Notes October 31, 2019
|
|
Tomorrow is All Saints' Day, a holy day of obligation. Please join us for mass at 8:00 If you have time, please come to our Saint Museum put on by our 7th and 8th graders. It is from 9:30-11:00 in the gym.
Report cards will go home next Friday, November 8th. Sign-up Genius will be out next week for you to sign up for conferences. Conferences are Monday, November 25th from 4:00-8:00pm
(we do have school that day)
and Tuesday, November 26th from 8:00-11:00am. We are off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving break.
Our 8th grade boys St. Joe's/SMV teams are on a winning streak at the Seton Volleyball Tournament. Come cheer them on. The boys play Thursday night at 7:30. All games are played at Center Court in Waukesha.
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 otherwise might not be able to afford full tuition. Assistance in the form of $1,000 grants 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.
Next week the Milwaukee Archdiocese will celebrate National Vocation Awareness Week. The goal of the week is to teach students about every vocation and help them remain open to God's call.
The teachers will be teaching lessons that will provide knowledge for the students to understand what a vocation is, to inspire them to become more prayerful for doing the will of God, and to help them appreciate their Catholic faith even more. A few weeks ago, Fr. Peter wrote an article in the Catholic Herald about his call to the priesthood. Click

to read it.
Remember no school on Monday!
*To be Kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.
Faithfully Yours,
Mrs. Mary Tretow

The lost and found items are growing. Please make sure to label everything your child wears. This will make is easier to know whose uniform shirt it is or whose snow boot it is.

It is the time of year when we are all reminded how blessed we are at SMV- It is impossible to walk through the hallways without noticing all the awesome Halloween decorations. These are the handy work of Mr. Dennis Zainer, better known to those at SMV as Mr. Fix-It.
Many thanks to Mr. Fix-It for keeping our halls filled with the spirit of the seasons and ensuring things are running smoothly. Next time you see Mr. Fix-It in the hallway, make sure to say hello and give him a huge SMV thank you!
