Catholic Schools Week 2025

National Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate the gift of Catholic education in the United States. This week is filled with fun activities that bring together our students, school community, and partners in the mission of educating children in the Catholic Faith. Our goal is to highlight the many ways Catholic education benefits our students and contributes to the church, our local community, and our nation as a whole. Thank you for being a vital part of our school community!

Breakfast for Baby Jesus

Breakfast for Baby Jesus is one of our favorite events to put on for our families. This heartwarming morning is packed with fun for the whole family, featuring:

🍪 Bake Sale
📚 Book Fair
☕ Hot Cocoa Bar
🎅 Santa’s Mailbox—where kids can send their Christmas Wish Lists straight to the North Pole!

To make this event truly magical, we’re calling on some of Santa’s Helpers to lend a hand! Whether it’s a small act of kindness or just an hour of your time, your help would make all the difference in bringing this festive celebration to life.

Every little bit of support helps—and we can’t wait to share this special day with you and your family.

Christmas Toy Drive

This Advent season, Student Council is encouraging our families to help spread joy by collecting toys for The Children’s Hospital of WI (CHW). We aim to bring smiles & comfort to young patients and their families. To keep the kids safe from infection, all donated items must be new (store-bought and in their original packaging) and cannot contain latex. Please keep items to a “grab-&-go” size (no larger than 12 in. tall).

To learn more about the “dos and don’ts” of donations, please visit: giving.childrenswi.org/ways-to-give/donate-items
CHW AMAZON WISH LIST | CHW TARGET WISH LIST

Student Council will be delivering all donations to CHW before Christmas. We appreciate your generosity & kindness.

PLEASE BRING DONATIONS TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 13.

Spread the Word: Share this initiative with friends and family to help us gather as many donations as possible.

Thanksgiving Food Drive 2024

Every Tuesday for the month of November, our students will be bringing in donations for our local Food Pantry during our All School Mass. Now, more than ever, it’s important to give back and lead with kindness. There are no incentives…just a lot of love and care from our families.
