School Office Notes

Congratulations to all of our SMV alumni who attend Marquette University High School and who were named to the first semester honor roll. Please click here to view the MUHS Honor Roll.

If you come to school and need to contact the school office, ring the bell that is on the wall of the building. Someone will come to the door to assist you.

If you are looking to make a few extra dollars, you might want to consider playground duty. There are some days in January and February where we don't have anyone signed up. After you have done your 6 duties, you can make $25 for every extra duty that you do.

Please make sure to label everything. This is the time when we see a lot of boots, mittens, hats and scarfs in the lost and found.

Our family likes to...We can find the fun in most anything we do, and our family loves to laugh. Our favorite times are spent hanging around the pool, playing each other in ping pong tournaments; and enjoying ‘family dinner’ on Sunday nights. The kids have taken these dinners up a notch by showing up in themed outfits each week. We are definitely making our own good time during the pandemic! 
Our family pet is....Mickey is our 7-year old Maltipoo. He’s a little guy, but thinks he is a much bigger beast. 
Places our family has lived...We’ve stayed very close to family over the years. Patrick & Katie grew up in Wauwatosa; and our family has lived in Elm Grove for many years. 
Our family loves being a part of SMV because....The SMV community has helped us build a very strong base for our kids...faith, education, friendships & values. We appreciate the lasting connections we’ve made to the broader SMV family over the years & have felt their love and support at various points in our lives.

 Mission & Catholic Identity
                      Effective 2016-2021
Beginning next Friday, Jan. 17, St. Mary's Visitation Respect Life Ministry is holding a Collection of Baby Items for Women's Care Center Milwaukee.
WCC has seen an increased need for emergency baby supplies such as diapers and wipes, clothing and other baby items.  Donations can be dropped off in the northwest corner of the parish atrium through Jan. 31.  
Women's Care Center helps pregnant women from our communities choose life for their babies, have healthier pregnancies, become better parents and take first steps to self-sufficiency. With two locations in Milwaukee, Women's Care Center serves over 2,000 women each year, many of whom are seriously considering abortion. Through WCC's non-judgmental counseling approach, free state-of-the-art ultrasounds, and parenting education classes, 92% of moms choose life for their baby!  
With the COVID pandemic, more women are facing economic hardship and stress. Now more than ever, WCC's mission to bring hope and support to women facing unplanned pregnancies is absolutely essential.
Please click on the flyer and wish list. If you have questions, please contact mmberens@yahoo.com. Thank you for your generosity!
