Principal Notes October 17, 2019
|
|
There are only two days left until the Souls for Education Walk at Mount Mary University. When you arrive at Mount Mary that day look for the signs that say Deanery 4. I will be there with a large SMV flag. Please pray for good weather for the day!
Friday, October 26th
from 5:00-8:00 is our annual Spooks and Spoofs celebration. This is a Halloween party for all ages. Come and enjoy the evening with your SMV friends. If you are new to the school, you don't want to miss this.
It's hard to believe, but the first quarter of school ends next Friday. Information about conferences and report cards will be coming in the next couple of weeks.
Congratulations to our 8
th
grade boys A and B volleyball team! They have been invited to the Seton Volleyball Tournament. We will share information about when and where to watch them play when it becomes available. Join us on Monday, October 28 at 2:00 for a pep rally to cheer them on.
The NCEA (National Catholic Educational Association) which we are a part of sent me a parent newsletter about Halloween, All Saint's Day and All Souls Day celebrations. It does a very nice job of talking about all three of these days. Click here to read.
Everyday I see all the work that is going on behind the scenes here at St. Mary's. There is never a day that parents are not in the school working on the next project. It takes a village to make things happen. You are our ambassadors within and outside the walls of St. Mary's. When we present our school positively it allows us to live our mission and be a strong presence in the community. Thank you for all you do.
Faithfully Yours,
Mrs. Mary Tretow

The school door bell is broken and is in the process of being fixed. Please knock on the glass and then watch for the green light. Once the green light is there,the door will be unlocked for you to enter.
Parents if you would like to make some money, you may now sign up to do extra playground or lunch room duties that are still open. It pays $25 per duty and only after you have completed your six duties.
If you are unable to make it to do your duty, please inform the school office before 9 am. We do need time to find a replacement.
If your child brought home a immunization form, please fill out and return to the school office as soon as possible. We really don't want to send home a letter from the Waukesha District Attorney's office to you.

Once again this year you will find a familiar face in the SMV lunchroom. Several days each week, Mrs. Beth Parey heads down to the cafeteria to help the students with all things lunch related. You will always find a smile and a helpful hand when Mrs. Parey is around. The Parey family has been part of the SMV family for many years. The 4 Parey children are all alums of SMV- Alana (22) is a 2019 graduate of the University of Dayton, Donny (20) is at University WI- Madison, Drew (17) and Liam (15) are both at Marquette University High School. Mike and Beth are also still active in our parish. This year they are enjoying being confirmation group leaders.
Mrs. Parey loves being part of the SMV staff for many reasons but mainly because of the kids! As Beth says, "They make me laugh everyday I'm with them. I enjoy seeing them grow and change." Thank you Mrs. Parey for sharing your time with our children!
