'Mr. Fix-It" and Mr. Kaurich helped our 8th graders with an egg drop science experiment to test parachute size, air friction, and terminal velocity. We can report that the results showed the eggs broke 100% of the time!

St. Mary's Visitation Parish School's Mission Statement

St. Mary's Visitation Catholic Parish School exists to direct children toward God and toward Christian Service to society through Catholic religious formation, academic challenge, and continuous improvement.

We're Getting Ready!


Dear Families,


We are busy preparing our classrooms to welcome you to our Open House event, which will be held Sunday, January 29th. That is also the start of Catholic Schools Week. More information will be posted in next week's Virtual Backpack about activities for that week.


In the meantime, please see this SignUp to help with tours and publicity for the Open House.


Finally, there is a familiar name featured in the recent Catholic Herald edition. Please see here an article with a quote from Fr. Behling about the impact that Pope Benedict XVI had on his life.


Blessings,


Mrs. Mary Tretow

We Need Monopoly Games!

The Auction will be here before we know it! We could use your help with our theme.


Do you have any Monopoly games at home? Do you have a knack for finding toys on sale? We need Monopoly board games to use as centerpieces during the evening of the Auction. We are looking for Monopoly board games, old or new.


They can be brought to the School Office anytime before March 18th. Please be sure to put your last name on the games so that they can be returned to you after March 25th. Thank you for your help!
