The Site Advisory Committee and I are thrilled to announce our new Trivia Night fundraiser, scheduled for May 17! This event promises to be a fantastic opportunity to come together as a community, have fun, and support a great cause.

Trivia Night is not just about answering questions; it's about creating memorable experiences and strengthening our school community. Here are some of the benefits you can expect by attending:

1. Fun and Entertainment: Get ready for an evening filled with laughter, friendly competition, and exciting trivia challenges. Whether you're a trivia whiz or just looking to have a good time, there's something for everyone.

2. Building Relationships: Trivia Night is a perfect chance to connect with fellow parents, teachers, and staff outside of the school setting. Strengthening these relationships is key to fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment.

3. Prizes and Recognition: Who doesn't love a chance to win prizes? Test your knowledge and compete for exciting rewards. Plus, there will be recognition for the table with the best theme, adding an extra element of friendly competition.

4. Supporting Our School: By participating in Trivia Night, you're directly contributing to important GRACE and Holy Family initiatives, programs, and resources that benefit all students. Your support makes a big difference!

5. Creating Lasting Memories: The memories made at Trivia Night will be cherished for years to come. Whether it's celebrating a correct answer, sharing a funny moment, or simply enjoying the company of friends, these experiences stay with us.

We encourage everyone to form teams, invite friends and family, and join us for a night of trivia, camaraderie, and community spirit. Together, we can make this event a huge success!

In Faith and Partnership,

Sarah Sharkey

Principal

Opportunities to Volunteer

Volunteer Hours

Volunteering at Holy Family

Every adult who volunteers at Holy Family is required to have a current background check on file, complete a VIRTUS training course, and sign a volunteer agreement each year.

Volunteer requirements are mandated by the Diocese of Green Bay, and there are no exceptions.

We strongly encourage all parents to go through this process because opportunities to volunteer will come up quickly, and your name must be on our approved list.

The Diocese of Green Bay requires all volunteers to meet safe environment requirements. All volunteers must complete and have an approved background check every 4 years and complete online safe environment training and sign a Code of Conduct yearly. The Diocese of Green Bay is contracted with VIRTUS to comply with the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Youth requirements in providing safe environments for all children and individuals at risk.

Please click on the link below to complete the requirements. Parents who are already VIRTUS trained and have a current background check need to log into their VIRTUS account to sign the annual Code of Conduct.
