The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)

Reading I : Isaiah 9:1-6

A son is given to us.

• Isaiah tells the people that “a great light” has changed their world—turned it upside down; oppression and gloom have been overcome.
• It is the birth of a child that has caused this change.
• This child has a vast kingdom that will last forever.

Reading II : Titus 2:11-14

God’s grace has been revealed to all people.

• Paul affirms the grace that God has already bestowed on those who believe.
• The believers are waiting for the coming of the Lord in glory in the future.
• Until the Lord comes in glory, they are to live justly and devoutly.

Gospel : Luke 2:1-14

Today a Savior has been born for you.

• Joseph and Mary journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be counted in the census.
• While in Bethlehem, Mary gives birth to Jesus, the Son of God.
• Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promise, our Savior.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf



Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Christmas break starts at 2:45pm on Thursday. Students return on Tuesday, January 3. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and safe break.

When we return in January we will have a few things on the calendar. Our students will be STAR testing January 9-13. It is always great to see how much the students have grown since the beginning of the year.

Another big day on the calendar is parent/ student/ teacher conferences on January 19. Please keep these dates in mind as we move into the new year. 2022 has been a great year at SJE and I am looking forward to an even greater 2023.

From all the staff of St. John the Evangelist School, to all of our school families, Id like to wish you a Blessed Christmas Holiday and New Year.

Dear Friends, 

In this message, we are reminded how children experience the joy that is Christmas. Please take a moment to watch the video below.

Wishing a blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones. 

Sincerely, 

Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki 

Archbishop of Milwaukee

"Keep Christ in Christmas"

Knights of Columbus Poster Contest

We had 55 students in grades K5-8 participate in the “Keep Christ in Christmas” contest. There was some amazing art work. The judges definitely had a hard time picking the winners. There were four judges who scored each piece of work. The totals were tabulated and our winners are listed below. These winning posters will now move onto the next level of the contest. Good luck to these six students in the next level of competition. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for hosting the contest and thank you to all of our participants. 

Congratulations! and the winners are.....

Reminders

Calendar Raffle

Please turn in your calendar raffle stubs and payment to the school office no later than December 22nd or the parish office by December 29th. If you have unsold calendars, please sell them as soon as possible or turn them in so they are available for parish members to purchase or other families to sell.

After School Car-Line

At the end of the day we need everyone to follow the car-line procedures. There has been an increase in people parking up the hill and waiting for their children there. For the safety of the children we ask everyone to join the car-line. If you have someone picking up who does not know the procedure please share it with them beforehand. It is for everyone's safety. Although everyone is cautious, the cars backing out after parking cause an unsafe situation. Furthermore, it is making it more difficult for staff to ensure all students heading up the hill are safely picked up. The car-line is a 15 minute process and it keeps everyone safe and helps us keep account of our children. For the safety of all, PLEASE JOIN THE CAR-LINE. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 

Dress for the weather

The cold weather is here. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather and he or she has a hat and gloves. Any child who wishes to play in the snow must also wear boots and snow pants. 

Help Needed

The employee must be willing to supervise students outdoors, as well as engage in indoor activities such as board games. Applicants must be at least 18, willing to submit to a criminal background check, and complete Archdiocesan Safeguarding training. If interested, please call the school principal Ben Oberdorf at 414-321-8540 or email at boberdorf@sje.school.
