Message From the Principal
School Improvement:
I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
This was the quote to motivate, encourage and
help me persevere through the planning, implementing
and compiling our school improvement process.
The Nebraska Department of Education
requires accredited schools to implement a school
improvement process. The overall purpose of an
external team visit is to assist the school in selecting
or fulfilling school improvement goals and plans by
adding an outside, objective view of the school. The
primary purpose is to enlist the professional advice
of colleagues from outside the schools.
The External Team will use the strategies
of observation, interview, artifact gathering,
collaboration, discussion and comparison to
the Nebraska Frameworks Rubric to identify
commendations, best/promising practices, and
recommendation for the school to consider/implement
into their Continuous School Improvement Process.
It was decided to have a joint (St. Boniface
Elementary/Pope John XXIII Central Catholic)
school improvement process between the two
schools. Our goals are: All students…will improve
their oral and written communication skills across
the curriculum and All students…will develop a
stronger understanding of the history of the Catholic
Church. In March of this year our schools hosted an
external team visit. The team’s purpose for the visit
12
was to affirm the selection of these goals; plus, review
and offer suggestions for enhancement to the Action
Plan for the selected goals. Our team members are:
Deb Wragge, ESU 7 Staff Development; Chyrel
Remmers, English Instructor at Central Community
College; Walter Dupre, Principal of St. Mary’s in
O’Neill; and Marilyn Wiebelhaus, Administrator
Catholic Schools Office.
Commendations: (successes)
The schools possess strong administrative
leadership and supportive boards.
There is a shared connection between the two
schools, which is now under one leadership.
Total faculty involvement and commitment to the
schools and the school improvement process.
The schools are living their mission.
The schools offer strong academic classes
and offerings, which require achievement and
excellence for all. They also strive to meet the
academic, social, and spiritual needs of all
students at all levels.
You know you are in a Catholic school.
The students are ambassadors of the school,
exhibiting a deep commitment to strong
religious values. The students’ social skills were
exceptional.
Baseline data is collected, displayed.
Recommendations: (improvements)
Continued planning for the future, which requires
the immersion of all lay and pastoral leaders.
This continuous plan for educational excellence
and Catholic identity does not allow for any
member of the leadership team to opt out of their
responsibility.
Establish an effective process for data analysis
and the utilization of results to impact instructional
decisions.
Integrate the school improvement process as a
collaborative representation of each curricular
and stakeholder group.
In measuring our Catholic Identity, teachers
and the administration have the duty and privilege
to ensure that students receive instruction in Catholic
doctrine and practice. St. Boniface and Pope John
XXIII instills in our students to use their gifts not
selfishly, but for others. There is no telling how far you
can reach if you start from a good place. That good
place, St. Boniface and Pope John XXIII, is founded
on a strong Catholic education with strong traditions
of faith and academic excellence, community and
strong relationships with
each other and especially
with God.
It is great to be
affirmed that the school(s)
is fulfilling the mission
statement.
Yours in Christ,
Betty Getzfred, Principal
Pope John
XXIII Central
Catholic
High School
was recently
notified that
the Margaret
Schrage Estate
included a
bequest of
$496,250.39
to Pope John.
Margaret (Pelster) Schrage passed away
on October 6, 2011. She attended St.
John Berchman School in Raeville
and graduated in 1932. Margaret and
her husband Hubert were not blessed
with children of their own but had
many nieces, nephews, great-nieces

Did you know…
and great-nephews who attended Pope
John. Margaret watched with particular
interest all of their many activities at
school as they competed in sports,
participated in the musicals and achieved
in academics. Her gift will ensure that
future generations of young men and
women will continue to be educated
in the Catholic tradition at Pope John
XXIII Central Catholic High School.
A portion of her gift has been
placed in the PJ Endowment, which
held a special place in Margaret’s heart.
One of the original gifts that began the
Endowment over 25 years ago was a gift
from her mother’s (Mrs. Anna Pelster)
estate. The remainder of the Margaret
Schrage bequest will be invested to help
with future operating costs at Pope John.

Hubert Schrage in your prayers and

Pope John
Presents
Crusader J.A.M.
One of Pope John and St. Boniface
Schools’ improvement goals is “all
students will improve their oral and
written communication skills across the
curriculum”.
Pope John XXIII has implemented
Crusader J.A.M. for an assessment tool
in the oral communication piece. The
Crusader J.A.M. creates an opportunity to
focus on examples of student excellence.
As a school, we believe that becoming
confident and competent in a variety of
thinking and reasoning skills is critical to
success in school and in the future.
What is J.A.M.? It stands for
Journey of Academic Mastery and is a
collection of artifacts from a student’s
educational experience as a Crusader
that highlights their knowledge, skills
and/or abilities. Each student presented
to a panel consisting of a teacher, school
board member, parent, and a community
member. If you are interested in
observing, please join us next spring for
our 2nd annual Crusader J.A.M.

No matter what the weather in January,
you can travel to some faraway place by
attending the annual Evening With Friends
gala! The 13th annual event on January 29th
took guests to the land of pyramids and
palm trees for a “Night on the Nile”! Over
$ 61,000 was raised – a $ 6,000 increase
over last year! Dave Amick (US 92) and
Gary Hoefer (PJ’70) were MC’s for the
evening. The big cash prize of $ 2,500
went to Janice Eischeid (PJ ’76).
When the “sold out crowd” of over
200 guests arrived, they were greeted with
a beautiful array of hors d’oeuvres. Then
they feasted on a delicious dinner of prime
rib or apricot chicken prepared by Jodine
Meis. Live and silent auctions, raffles and
games made for a fun filled evening!
Co-chairs for the evening are: Dave &
Sharon Gossman and Tom & Bonnie Hoefer.
Other committee members are: Dave &
Gwen Beckman, Joe & Lori Beckman,
Mike & Connie Dvorak, Jim & Bev Funk,

Development Banquet
The 26th Annual Development
Banquet was the most exciting yet! Larry
Shavlik did a wonderful job as Master of
Ceremonies! His humor and sincerity
make him a most enjoyable host. John &
Cindy Temme conducted the liveliest of
live auctions! Mrs. Connie Henn and the
art students created one-of-a-kind pieces
of garden art that sold like wild-fire. At the
end, over $67,000 dollars was raised for
Pope John – an increase of $12,000 over
last year!
The Margaret Schrage Estate gift
was announced as well as major gifts
to the Endowment during the past year.
New members recognized in the Blue
Legacy were: Kathy Dinslage, Margaret
Schrage, Bernice Roth and John Reuss.

Selting (SB ’57) Hikes the Alps! By Arlyn Selting
In July of last year, as a pre-celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary
this year, my wife Jeanette (née: Schrage) and I flew to Zurich then traveled by
train to the Swiss Alps to do a 100 mile, ten consecutive day hike across the
Bernier Traverse in the Alps.
The Traverse is part of an old Roman trail system and considered to be
one of the most difficult of Swiss hikes. It consists of ten days over multiple
mountain passes. We were part of a 9 person group led by an alpine guide.
Jeanette and I were two of the five persons who were able to do the entire
Traverse and highest passes without bypassing the difficult day of the highest
pass (9111 ft. elev.).
The photo is a picture of us at the top of the Sefinen Pass at 8,567 ft. elev.
This took us about 4 hours to hike up to. We also hiked to the top of “big one”,
the Hutturli Pass at 9111 ft. elev. This required about 5 hours hiking up 4,300
ft. and 4.5 hours hiking down 5,500 ft. into the next valley. After the hike and
several days rest, we finished the trip by attending two concerts that our two
grandchildren were a part of (a summer Europe singing tour) in a Swiss town
and then in a German town. We live in Bozeman, Montana and trained for the
hike by hiking frequently in the Bridger mountains near our home. We hike
weekly in the summer and ski weekly in the winter to stay in shape.
I am a 1957 St. Boniface H.S. grad, a Univ. of Nebr. College of Engineering
grad. retired from a career in the field of computers. Jeanette is a Creighton
Univ. Nursing R.N. My parents were Ben and Ervilla Selting. We retired to
Bozeman, Montana. If the avalanches cooperate, this year we plan to ski off the
top of one of the highest mountains in Montana (Lone Peak @ 11,166 ft. tall) to
celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
Congrats!

The highlight of the 2012
Development
Banquet
was
the
presentation of the Roncalli Award to our
very own Sister Patricia Hoffman! The
prestigious Roncalli Award is presented
each year to an individual or family who
has made a long term contribution to the
advancement of our school. Sister Pat
started teaching at Pope John in the fall
of 1972. Her 40 years of dedication has
made our school what it is today! No one
has done more to create the environment
at our school than Sister Pat.
When one thinks of Pope John and
setting the standard - Sister Pat comes to
mind not only for setting the academic
standard but for setting the example of
what living the Catholic Faith is. She
currently teaches Algebra I, Algebra
II, Trig, Advanced Math, Calculus,
College Algebra and Geometry. She also
monitors a study hall, is the sponsor of the
Student Council, Senior Class sponsor,
coordinator for graduation, paper drives
and probably more things than we even
know about!
Several members of Sister Pat’s
family and many former students
attended the banquet in appreciation of
her contribution. Jordan Engle (PJ’09)
and Amy (Thiele) Weber (PJ’94) gave
tributes to Sister Pat. Mrs. Getzfred
presented her with a beautiful scrap book
of good wishes from former students,
prepared by Connie Pelster.
THANK YOU Sister Pat for all you
do and have done to make Pope John a
first class Catholic School!
Don’t forget

The 9th grade Physical Science class is learning about simple
machines and the American cartoonist & inventor (1883-1970)
Rube Goldberg. Wikipedia describes a Rube Goldberg machine,
contraption, invention, device or apparatus as a deliberately
over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very
simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain
reaction. The game Mouse Trap is a classic example. Today there
are even Rube Goldberg competitions all over the US where
young designers present their own contraptions.
Working in small groups, the students created 5 machines, a
mousetrap, devices that turn on a light, make a basket in a hoop,
blow out a candle and pop a balloon. Clockwise with one of the
machines are Zach Eischeid, Jonathon Meis, Physical Science
instructor Mr. Jake Sladky, Regan Kerkman, Brie Gossman, Kayla
Nelson, Jack Borer, Morgan Childers and Evan Schindler
