Recently the third-grade classes at Olga Brener worked on their survival skills. The classes took field trips this fall to Navarino Nature Center where they learned how to use a compass, built shelters and hiked the grounds. The activities they participated fostered great team-building.
Olga Brener held its annual Thanksgiving feast. More than 300 students, family members and staff enjoyed a potluck meal. It was a wonderful opportunity for our school community to gather and visit.

Thank you to teacher Michael Schumm and the eighth-grade class who led us in a wonderful Veterans Day program this year. Complete with a presentation of the colors by our veterans, readings and patriotic songs, we honored our veterans for their service to our country. Ending with a gun salute and the playing of taps, our students stood in silence remembering those who have served our country and gone before us.
Sacred Heart Catholic School
The first quarter has come to an end. It went by so quickly. Our first quarter Dollars for Scholars were selected by their teachers: Alexia LaTender, Jayceon Waupoose, Maria Cagal-Lagunes, Maddie Krueger, Lilly Montour, Amaya Lepscier, Henry Smith and Chenice Olson. Congrats to all our students for working hard in the first quarter!
On Nov. 11, the student council leaders attended a leadership workshop sponsored by the Milwaukee Bucks and Wisconsin Association of School Councils. The general manager of the Bucks encouraged the students to have goals and to become great leaders.
In honor of Veterans Day, our school presented a prayer service and program with the help of our local veterans on Nov. 12. Select students honored our veterans with acrostic poetry and “What a veteran is to me” writing projects. Josefina Oviedo and Arvilla James led the school by singing the national anthem. We are grateful to our veterans for coming to our school to remind us how they fought for the freedom we have.
On Monday, our 3K/4K class enjoyed a morning of “donuts with dad.” The dads, grandpas and special friends accompanied students to school to enjoy a treat, color/shape Bingo and story time. Everyone had a great start to their week.
Speaking of Bingo, Home and School would like to thank all those who attended Bingo night on Nov. 15. The final blackout round had a pot of more than $70. Watch for more Bingo nights to be scheduled after the new year.
We have some exciting programs in the works. Sacred Heart Catholic School is working on a free story-time program that will be open to anyone. Watch the paper for more details.
