From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the third and final trimester of the school year! The teachers are spending the day working on report cards. They will be coming home on Friday. Conference slips will be included in your report card envelopes (Reminder that conferences are 3/15 and 3/24 and will be virtual).
Now that Lent is upon us, I’d first like to thank Mrs. Huettl and the Firsties for doing such a great job teaching the whole school to Sign the Our Father at the Ash Wednesday Liturgy. If you were able to attend Mass, it was beautiful! The next thank you goes to Becky Kohl and her team for planning a fun-filled Mardi Gras event! We had over 120 attendees to play games, enjoy a taco dinner and a lovely family craft project! It was SO nice to partake in a “normal” activity! Finally, as Lent progresses we have brought back TUNA TUESDAY. Each class will collect cans of tuna for the next 8 weeks. These cans of tuna will be donated to the Pewaukee Food Pantry. This is an item that is especially needed and the food pantry is extremely grateful to receive. The Student Council has proposed a class contest to see which class brings in the most cans of tuna (according to class size). Start sending in that Tuna! Finally, the entire school will pray the Stations of the Cross on Fridays beginning Friday, March 11th at 1:45pm. The classes will take turns leading the school. Please join us for the Stations at 1:45 if you are able.
Congratulations to both the Girls and Boys 8th grade teams on their Padre Serra Tournament invites. This is the final culmination of tournaments for the 8th graders. One that every basketball player (and coach) looks forward to! We will have a Pep Rally on Friday, March 11th at 11:00am to cheer them onto their first game. Best of luck to all the players!
Yoga Classes for students in Grades 1-8 are being offered here at school beginning Monday, March 14th. Please see the flyer in today’s newsletter for additional information! Waiver for participants found here.
Now that some of our COVID Protocols are changing, we ask that you once again sign in when you enter the school building and sign out your children for appointments. The sign in sheets are located above Rebekah’s desk.
Don’t forget that Daylight Savings time begins this weekend! Turn those clocks forward 1 hour on Saturday night! More sunshine coming our way!
Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel

Welcome to our new section of the newsletter - Volunteer Spotlight of the Week! |
|
This week we are highlighting two women who have worked so hard all year long to make our incredible teachers and staff feel loved and appreciated. They volunteer in many aspects of the school, but they have taken this position of ‘teacher appreciation’ to the next level - from organizing and providing meals for our teachers and staff during conferences to fun monthly drawings. This duo thinks of creative ways to get our children involved in sharing their appreciation. And they think of everyone…just last month they honored our wonderful bus drivers.
Please give some cheer to:
Marlo Dentice-Johnson and Katy Anheuser
If you have anyone you would like to nominate, please email Ashley.
