Family Prayer
Sixth Sunday of Easter
The Spirit does not burden you.
- In the reading from Acts, Paul describes a solution to the controversy regarding requirements of the Jewish law.
- Christians at the time were convinced that converts to Christianity must keep the prescriptions of the Jewish law.
- The early Church worked to solve these controversies through the wisdom of God in the Spirit.
The glory of God is with you.
- The reading from Revelation continues to describe a vision of the New Jerusalem.
- The City was surrounded by the number twelve, the number for the fullness of Israel (twelve tribes) and the number for the fullness of the Church (twelve apostles).
- The sign of God’s presence in the Temple was no longer necessary because now God dwells in the midst of the community.
The Spirit will instruct you in everything.
- The Gospel passage is Jesus’ promise of the presence of the Holy Spirit with the disciples.
- Jesus will dwell forever with those who love him and are true to him.
- This presence of God in the believer and in the community of believers bears much fruit.

This week SJE had a new principal for the day on Monday, May 16. The winner of “The Principal of the Day Raffle '' was second grader Anastasia L. She has provided a principal’s update.
Hello, My name is Anastasia L. and I won principal for a day raffle. I am in Gr.2 and I LOVE school. So far I have said there will be extra recess, no homework and ice cream sandwiches at the end of the day. Some of the things I have done are greet students in the morning, lead prayer service, check on students, supervise recess and now I am writing this letter. Today has been a great day.

WELLNESS WARRIORS
Wellness Warriors are awesome. The Wellness Warriors hosted another great event, “The Warriors Last Call”. Over sixty students rotated through kickball, gaga ball, and an obstacle course. A healthy treat was served after the fun. If you see a Wellness Warrior please thank him or her for organizing and leading such a great event again and for leading other events throughout the year. A big shout out to Mrs. Pitcher for helping the Wellness Warriors develop leadership and organizational skills and to the Wellness Warriors for all of their hard work this year.

Family Dance
The Home and School Committee hosted our family dance. The dance was well attended and everyone had fun. It was so much more than just a dance. There was face painting, cornhole playing, coloring, crafts, snacks, music, smiles, laughter, socializing, running, and yes even some dancing. Thank you to everyone who made the dance a success and thank you to everyone who attended.
The Home and School Committee does a great job fundraising for the school and organizing outstanding events to strengthen our SJE community. If you have attended any of the events I am sure you have seen the organization, dedication, and the hard work of this committee.
The Home and School Committee is always looking for new members. Anyone interested in adding their skills and talents to this committee please contact me, Mr. Oberdorf, by phone at 414-321-8540, by email boberdorf@sje.school, or stop by the school’s office to discuss.

VIP day was Wednesday, May 18. We had over 100 guests join us for the festivities. Our VIPs joined us for Mass, lunch, and a presentation by Mad Science. Thank you to the many people who help make an event like this happen. Finding words to describe the joy and sense of community felt at this event is hard. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words so here are some pictures. |

Retirement Announcement from Mrs. Kaminski
As many of you know, I will be retiring at the end of this school year. I have truly enjoyed my 23 years here at St. John the Evangelist, serving in the role of school secretary. There is no other place I would have rather spent these years. I have had the good fortune to work with three terrific principals, and so many wonderfully talented and dedicated teachers and staff members. And being surrounded each day with such great children has been a treat. On Tuesday of this week, the Archdiocese honored teachers and staff members who are retiring, and we were all given a special blessing from Archbishop Listecki. Thank you to all who have made my time here special.
