Sacred Heart Catholic School
Sacred Heart Catholic School will hold an early childhood open house from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 10. All families who have children eligible for 3K to first grade in the 2015-2016 school year are invited to attend. RSVP is preferred, but not required. Families can meet the teachers, learn about enrollment and ask questions about tuition. The kids will have special activities to enjoy. Please contact the school office, 715-526-5328, if you have questions, or e-mail the admissions director at creuter@sacredheartshawano.org.
All of the children 3K through grade 8 were involved in baking, frosting and decorating the cookies that were served at the Christmas concert. Thank you to all who donated ingredients, allowed us to use cooking utensils, and helped with making the cookies and cleaning up!
More than 400 people attended our concert. We enjoyed an evening of singing the reason for the season. Our families also donated items for the food pantry in the Shawano community.
Father Luke Ferris reminded us of the things that we should do to prepare for Christmas. He told us to get up when our parents wake us, be disciplined and make our beds, say “Hi” to others and reply when others speak to us by saying “Hi.”
Now is the time to prepare to give a gift to Jesus, and the greatest gift we can give him is our love.
St. James Lutheran School
The kindergarten class traveled to the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay on Tuesday for the “Holiday on the Rails” program.
We had just finished a reading unit on transportation so it was especially fun and fitting to travel on a bus to a train museum. We went inside many different trains and even got to take a train ride around the museum grounds. There were also many different decorated Christmas trees to see. We could decorate a Christmas cookie (and eat it!) and make Christmas cards, ornaments and banners. We even got to eat our lunch at the museum.
Thank you to the many parents and grandparents who joined us for this fun trip. A very special thank you to Deb Passehl (grandma to Gabby), who volunteered her time as a bus driver to keep down the cost of this field trip.
Right now we are in the process of making some repairs to our playground so it will be in tip-top shape by the time spring rolls around. Our playground gets a lot of use, so these repairs are inevitable. We also need to replace the woodchips on our playground and would like to get rid of the wood chips and replace them with a 6-inch layer of rubber mulch to improve safety. The cost is approximately $13,000. We are hoping that we can use some of our Race for Education funds as well as some gala funds that have not been designated. However, that will not cover the costs. We are looking for some alternative ways to raise the additional funds, either through private donations or other fundraising events. If you have any ideas, please pass them on to one of our staff.
Wolf River Lutheran High School
WRLHS is pleased to announce its new partnership with Concordia University Wisconsin’s Dual Credit Program. Beginning in January, students can earn college credits at a fraction of the traditional undergraduate cost. How does $150 sound for a three-credit class?
