Sacred Heart Catholic School

We are happy to be in the year 2015 and back at school with our families. We hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable break and a very Merry Christmas.

We are in full swing this week at Sacred Heart Catholic School. The students in our eighth-grade class are already making plans for next year when they make the big move to Shawano Community High School. The guidance department came to assist our students in making their choices for classes for their freshman year. The students seem a little nervous, but very excited, too.

Are you interested in finding the right fit for your little one? We are hosting a special early childhood open house on Saturday, Jan. 10, from 10 a.m. until noon. This is your opportunity to come and see what we have to offer families for their children entering 3K to grade 1. Our teachers will be there to meet parents and explain our programs. The admissions director will answer questions regarding enrollment, tuition and tuition assistance. If you or someone you know would like to learn more about this opportunity, please contact Carolyn Reuter at creuter@sacredheartshawano.org or call the school office at 715-526-5328.

We are also having our second annual Winter Wonderland on Sunday, Jan. 25, following the 10:45 a.m. Mass. Everyone is welcome to join in our activities and see our school. We have many fun activities planned for all ages. The Home and School Association will provide a spaghetti lunch. A free-will offering will be accepted. The open house runs until 1:45 p.m. We are having an indoor snowball fight (aka dodgeball)! Kids against adults! We hope you can come.

Our basketball teams are practicing hard this week for an out-of-town match at Pilgrim in Green Bay on Friday night. Our next home game is Jan. 23 against St. James. If you are looking to get out of the cold, come in and enjoy watching and cheering for our Cardinals.

Olga Brener Intermediate School

Just before Christmas break, our third-grade classes were hard at work selling “goods” during lunch hours to raise money for the humane society. The classrooms each had a different item they were selling: candy canes, string cheese, Power Aide, candy sleighs. Some classes collected monetary donations. Altogether, the students raised $1,100 for the Shawano County Humane Society, along with some donations of supplies. Way to show that Hawk trait of caring!

Looking for ideas of things to do when it’s too cold to go outside? What about playing a board game? What about doing a puzzle together? How about cooking or baking together? Or do a read aloud? These are all great ideas to “unplug” from screens and connect with each other while making great memories.

Is your child missing a boot? Hat? Sweatshirt? Coat? If so, please come and check out our overflowing lost and found that has been set up in the cafeteria. Items left here on Friday will be taken to Goodwill.

Upcoming: Jan. 19, no school; Jan. 21, district spelling bee; Jan. 23, hoedown.

Gresham School

The Gresham Wildcats held their annual holiday tournament on Jan. 2-3. There were seven teams participating. The Gresham boys varsity and junior varsity both won tournament championships. The Gresham varsity girls earned third place.

On Dec. 15, the Gresham high school/middle school band held a concert. Many holiday songs were played, and they did a great job under the direction of Amy Doefer.

The Gresham K-12 had a chorus concert on Thursday, Dec. 18. The K-5th grade students were under the direction of Amy Doefer. The students played many instruments and showed they have been learning rhythm and direction. The 6-12 grade choir concert was held after the elementary concert.
