A Message from Mrs. Earle
The snow remains all around us but we are in school so that’s great! We are hoping for no more
“inclement” weather days and look forward to spring. It is coming!! In these last cold weeks, we continue
to ask God to guide us in all that we do. We all have so much to share and we don’t know when God will
give us an opportunity to shine, to help someone else, to do His good work! The words of Esther 4:14
come to mind, “Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.”
Snow Day Calendar Change: Fortunately, the length of our school day has allowed us to maintain the
number of minutes required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the Archdiocese. We
do have to add one more instructional day so please adjust your calendars to add Monday, April 29 as
a school day.
Boosterthon: We will be kicking off Boosterthon next Wednesday with a Pep Rally. Boosterthon will
culminate with the Fun Run on Friday, March 8th. Included in this mailer is information about pledging!
Leaving Early Reminder: If your child has an appointment or needs to be picked up early, parents
should send a note with the child that morning. We will be sure the teacher is aware and have your child
ready! Thank you for giving us notice whenever possible.
REGISTRATION: We are registering for the 2019-2020 school year. As you all know, staffing
appropriately is critical for the support of your children. To obtain and retain quality school classroom
leaders, it is important for us to know you will be back! Please take the time to confirm your return for
next year. If you are applying for funding via the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program the next window is
from March 1 – March 20. Wisconsin Parental Choice remains open until April 20. Please contact Susan
Blaha with questions.
Suessical: Rehearsals are going well! Any students interested in participating behind-the-scenes with
set, stage crew, make up and costuming, please submit your names to Ms. Blaha. We will also have
opportunities for ushers and concessions!
Padre Serra: Congratulations to the 8th Grade Boys Basketball team and their invitation to this elite
Archdiocesan tournament. Join our school pep rally on Friday, March 1st and cheer the boys on!
Father John reminded us at Mass this week to appreciate and value each other. He also reminds us to let
those we value know. We do appreciate and value you and your children!
Culver’s Night
Please join us in support of our 8th Grade D.C. Class trip by grabbing a bite to eat at Culvers in New Berlin
(14855 West National Avenue) on Wednesday, March 13th from 5:00-8:00pm.

Ski Club
This Friday, February 22, is our last scheduled ski trip to Alpine Valley. The conditions should be great, so plan to come out for some fun on the hills! Remember that family and friends can join us to ski at the
student rate on our club nights. We hope to see everyone out there this week!
