Bowler High School
The Bowler School District forensics team qualified for state competition to be held in Madison. Team members took part in the district level competition Saturday in Marinette. Team members qualified by earning a score of 20 or above out of 25 from at least two out of three performances in their areas of focus.
Juniors at Bowler High School participated in the school’s first mock interviews/soft skills panel Feb. 11 at the school. Each student participated in a mock interview and received immediate feedback. Then the group came back together and asked the panel questions about workplace etiquette. Members of the panel were Karla Bowman from North Star Casino, Tonia Lagunes from Shawano County Job Center, Laura Carlson from Gannett Press and Mary Windmiller from the College of the Menominee Nation. Bev Miller from the Stockbridge-Munsee Human Resources Department was unable to join us that day. The students were excited to receive their feedback and genuinely surprised at the high regard they received from the panel.
Sacred Heart Catholic School
The second- and third-graders did a wonderful job presenting the living stations to our students, staff and community members Thursday. They worked hard for many weeks to bring this blessed event to life for all of us. It was a wonderful depiction of an act of love done for all of us.
Resulting from the work of the 3-Year Plan Leadership Team, our eighth-grade class trip is transforming into a service/mission trip. This May, the Class of 2015 will travel to Chicago to do God’s work by serving the hungry at a soup kitchen. The students will also tour Chicago and complete a retreat at Loyola University’s Challenge Course.
Father Luke Ferris today shared with us that all things have a beginning and an end. As we celebrate the solemnity of the Annunciation, nine months before Christmas, we are aware of the beginning of Jesus’ earthly life. We know that on Good Friday we commemorate the end of his earthly life but on Easter Sunday we celebrate his everlasting life. We each have a beginning to our lives, and we know that we too will have an end. We look forward to our eternal life with Jesus in heaven.
Each student in grades 5K-8 has an account on RAZ Kids. Teachers monitor the accounts and give students access to online reading materials appropriate to each student’s independent level. Enjoying books online is a great way for students to practice their reading.
Please be sure to live your faith during this most important week of the Catholic year: Holy Thursday Mass 7 p.m., Good Friday service 12:30 p.m., Holy Saturday Easter Vigil 8:15 p.m., Easter Sunday Mass 7:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.
