Dear Parents,

Happy Spring! Thank you for attending Cabin Fever this past weekend! I hope you had a wonderful time with friends, staff, and parents who have the same commitment to a Christian education. Thank you for donating beautiful items, volunteering your time, and attending Saturday night. Thank you for a successful event. Many hands make the load lighter. The set-up and clean-up crew were awesome. Crave did a fantastic job catering and the food was delicious. Thank you!

The Knights of Columbus FISH FRY is this Friday. Please come to support our Knights AND we are happy to be having the bake sale. Please drop off baked goods Friday in the school office anytime before 4:00 PM. All proceeds go to our playground fund so please bake some good stuff! Brownies, puppy chow, chex mix, and caramel corn go over very well.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WINNERS!

Dear St. Matt’s staff, students, and parents,

I was truly honored to be recognized at Cabin Fever, but I feel strongly that I should be the one saying thanks.

Thanks for letting me strengthen my faith every week at the school masses. The singing and prayers said by the kids just reinforces the Lord’s call to have a childlike faith. They have such joy and love to share with us.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to spend so much time with the Junior High. They can be a challenge because of all the changes going on in and around them, but it is so much fun to watch them discover their abilities and change from an elementary student to a teenager.

Thanks for giving me the ability to spend time with the “newest” generation. As we all get older, we tend to get “set in our ways”, but here I can keep “updated” on the latest tech news and trends.

Thanks for letting me interact with the “wee ones” as they move about the hall. The responses I get to…How are you today? What library books did you chose? How was lunch? bring a smile to my face and brighten the rest of my day.

Let us all take joy in the fact that we are part of a tremendous community, who has the faith and strength from God to care for all our children. Share the blessing that we have a staff and volunteers who are here to help us in our desire to do the best for our kids.

Thanks again for the kind words on Saturday night, and may God’s Blessings be abundant to all of you.

WISCONSIN PARENTAL CHOICE PROGRAM

2023 - 2024 SCHOOL YEAR

The Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) is a voucher program that was launched in 2013. The program allows students whose families meet certain income qualifications the ability to attend a participating private or religious school of their choice, tuition free. School Choice Wisconsin is the state’s premier education advocacy organization. The mission is to empower parents by advocating for high- quality options in education. Your child, your choice. This is the best way to truly provide an opportunity for each child to secure an education best tailored to his/her individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses.

Enrollment into the Wisconsin Choice Program closes April 20, 2023 for the 2023-2024 school year. All current and new students to our school, entering all grades except K3, are eligible to apply for the next two years since we are new to the program. After the initial two years, only students entering K4, K5, and transferring from another school may apply.
