Issue XII
Winter 2010
Dear Alumni & Friends
Winter is about to make way for spring – the Lenten season is leading the way to new growth. We
are half way through the school year already, this is our fourth year in our new location ~ hard to believe.
We have had some changes at school this year. We are happy to announce that we have hired a new
administrator Mrs. Carol Hoard. Mrs. Hoard joins us after serving thirteen years with St. Paul Catholic
School in Wrightstown. This year she is teaching second grade half days and working her magic in the
principal’s role each afternoon (and then some). Mr. Keith Krause continues to teach our seventh and
eighth grade students. We thank him for his years of service in the dual administrator and teacher role.
Along with a new administrator, we have added a teacher to our staff to teach second grade. The
first and second grade classes have been split this year. Ms. Rebecca Padlock is teaching first grade – she
taught both first and second last year. Mrs. Jamie Gegare is teaching our second grade students in the
afternoon.
We are blessed to have a fantastic faculty. We hope you enjoy this edition of the journal and that you
keep your alma mater in your prayers so that we may continue growing and sharing the Good News!
Welcome Mrs. Hoard
Hello! My name is Carol Hoard and it is my privilege to be the new principal of St. Joseph School. I have
served as a principal in the Diocese of Green Bay for the past 15 years and am excited to share my ideas with
the St. Joseph School community.
The Arts Integrated curriculum presented at St. Joe’s offers students a creative outlet in a variety of subject
areas. It is our goal to encourage students to be leaders in and out of the classroom through academic, spiritual
and social opportunities. With each passing day, I am happy that I am a part of this dynamic school where
innovative programs are met with sound educational guidelines.
On a personal note, my husband John and I have four children. My oldest son
works as a technology consultant in Milwaukee. My only daughter is an analyst at
Kohl’s corporate headquarters in Menominee Falls, WI. My second oldest son
serves in the United States Air Force and is currently stationed in Misawa, Japan.
My youngest son is a freshman at UW Milwaukee pursuing his love of art. With
this being the first year without any children at home I am thrilled to be able to
come to work each day and be surrounded with all the excitement of children.
St. Joseph School has always had a reputation for providing solid academic and
spiritual education and I assure you that this tradition is continuing at our fine school.

Arts Integration
Academic Honors
With the school year in high
gear some of our students have
been honored for their
excellent academic skills.
Kindergartener Quintin
Herdman won a coloring
contest with channel 26 and
was given front row seats to
the Holiday Parade in
downtown Green Bay.
One of the unique things about St. Joseph School is the arts integrated
teaching that occurs in all subjects. So far this year our classes have been busy
with arts integrated projects. We would like to share a few of the things they
have done:

The Kindergarten students worked on their five senses and studied textures by
feeling an item in a bag and matching it to the same texture on a game board.
The First grade students made instruments as part of their noun studies.
They then wrote a song with their nouns and played the instruments.
The Second grade students created lava suckers as part of the lava rock unit in
science.
Third and fourth grade students are currently working on a wheel of
knowledge in relation to famous inventions and inventors.
The Fifth and Sixth grade students focused on The Wizard of Oz and
specifically studied illustrations in the movie and various books and applied
all images into their own illustration displayed in the hallways of school.
The Seventh and Eighth grade students created a game and game board using
materials provided to them. The theme was the science unit they were
working on.
