Dear Parents,

As you recall, we had an accreditation team assess/evaluate our school on February 15-16. We are proud to announce that we are fully accredited through WRISA (Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools Accreditation) with an exceptional evaluation (or exceeds expectation) in several areas.  They shared these wonderful comments with us, “The team wishes to commend the faculty for their attentiveness to student learning needs considering that they are instructing multiple grades in a classroom. This reflects the care and dedication the faculty has toward the students they serve” and “The visiting team would like to commend the amazing job the teachers are doing teaching combined classrooms. The students are attentive to the teaching that is happening and adjust well to transitions.” It is reassuring to know that others recognize we are doing a great job teaching your children.

Thank you to all the parents, board members, etc. who helped with in-person and phone interviews and for bringing in food. A huge shout out to Mrs. Schueller for the beautiful job with the accreditation website and to the faculty and staff for the years’ worth of work pulling this together.

We are working on final numbers from Cabin Fever and will keep you posted when they are finalized. A huge thank you, parents, for supporting Cabin Fever. Thank you for donating items, attending and working at the event. A HUGE shout out to our Knights of Columbus council for a wonderful job preparing and serving 372 fish fry and 85 grilled cheese dinners! THANK YOU KNIGHTS! We hope everyone enjoyed the evening with us. Thank you Home & School Committee for another successful event! If you have any suggestions or comments about our Cabin Fever event, please send us an email. We would love to hear your feedback!

Let’s get ready for a wonderful end of the school year with celebrating promotions and selling those pizzas!

Book Hunting:
Easter is fast approaching! As you are hunting for Easter Eggs this Spring, keep your eyes out for St. Matthew library books that your child is done reading. Over the last several years, we have accumulated 253 library cards from books that have not been returned. We have never issued fines, but would love to have the books returned for all students to enjoy. So if you happen to see a book with the St. Matthew School stamp on it, please send it back to its library home. Thank you!
Dear St. Matthew School and Parish members,
On, Monday, April 4th, the Junior High CSVM group went to Fond du Lac to help move furniture into the St. Katharine Drexel Homeless Shelter. We emptied a large semi and another truck filled with beds and shelving units. We developed quite an efficient system to unload, un-wrap, transfer thru the building, and set up the items in the many bedrooms.
In addition, we bought up the donations we have received, so far, from the school families and parish members. These donations filled up 2 trucks and a van. The sewing circle sent along a huge pile of handmade quilts. Plus, we used some of the cash donations to purchase laundry detergent for the shelter (2 shopping carts FULL).
We were very honored to represent St. Matthew and see how our efforts and donations were going to be used to help so many needy people in our own area. Thank you to all of you for giving us this opportunity.
We will continue to accept cash and other donations until April 13th.
God Bless all of you, and the mission of the St. Katherine Drexel Homeless Shelter.

- Joanne Theisen, CSVM Coordinator
