Dear SMV Families,
Happy Valentine's Day!
In the middle of this long winter, we are busy making hearts and thinking about others. Many of the classrooms are busy making Valentine boxes and cards. Our 2
nd
graders made Valentine's Day cards for our homebound parishioners.
I'm pleased to announce that our early childhood enrollment for next year is growing! We will have
three
K4 and two K5 classrooms. We are excited to have so many new families joining us. Thank you for all you do to spread the word about what a wonderful school we have.
We are happy to let you know about another afterschool program. Starting in March we will offer Bricks 4 Kids. This is for K to 5th grade. Please click on this link for registration.
Congratulations to the boys 8th grade basketball team and Coach Dave Spano. They were invited to the Padre Serra! Games will be played at Marquette High School this year. More info will be coming soon.
Do you know that you can purchase Scrip in the office? Come on in and take a look at what we have. Buy a Scrip card and donate it to the
auction!
Your student can show off their talent and creativity by entering the Soles Walk T-shirt Design Contest. The 2020 Walk is on Saturday, October 17. Click here for more details.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has just released its Annual Report for Catholic Schools. Please click here to view a copy.
Here is another installment of Standards Based Grading Information.
STANDARDS BASED GRADING-How does Standards Based Grading change the way my child experiences learning?
SBG provides parents and students with specific feedback on each learning standard. Since the focus of instruction is on mastery for students, they will have more than one opportunity to demonstrate mastery, if and when it is needed. Feedback from assessments tell students what learning goals they have mastered and what they still need to work on. Students "own" their learning which creates a culture of learning that is more engaging for students and embraces learning as the goal.
Will Standards Based Curriculum change the curriculum?
No. The curriculum of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is designed to be standards-based and has always been aligned with state and national standards.
Just a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, February 14 and Monday, February 17.
Faithfully Yours,
Mrs. Mary Tretow
K5 Wishes everyone a Happy St. Valentines Day

Six Flags Read to Succeed
In past years, some of your children in K5-grade 6 may have participated in Six Flags Read to Succeed. This program requires students to keep a log of their minutes read at home, excluding school work. When six hours (360 minutes) of reading is reached, they receive a ticket to Six Flags theme park. The program is now changed. It is no longer administered through school. If you are interested in having your children participate, go to sixflags.com/books
Use the school code AGXXE for all grades (K5-grade 6) and register your children. You will enter their reading minutes online and submit on or before April 17. You will then receive the Six Flag ticket by e-mail.
Questions? Please contact Miss Benson in the library.

Recently SMV was blessed with another priest, Fr. John Gibson. Fr. Gibson has now been at St. Mary's for 2 years and is the Associate Pastor. He grew up as a family of 5 siblings (he has 3 brothers and 1 sister) in Shorewood, attending Atwater and Holy Family for middle school. Currently, Fr. Gibson enjoys spending his extra time playing board games and sports- especially soccer. He also likes to read and is a "
a die-hard Brewer fan"! Fr. John finds SMV special because of the sense of devotion to the Eucharist. Thank you Fr. John for being part of our community and sharing your love of the Eucharist with us!
