Catholic Schools – A Parent
Speaks
Today marks the beginning of “Catholic Schools Week.” It’s our
annual opportunity to reflect on the important investment our
parishes make in terms of Catholic Education. There’s a lot I
could say to you about the importance of Catholic Schools. But I
thought it might be good to let a parent, Ed Wojcicki, speak. Mr.
Wojcicki shared the following in a recent article for U. S. Catholic magazine.
“First, we wanted our children exposed to the Catholic faith daily
and to a value system that would forever be a part of their lives.
They could and did get this exposure at home as well. But parents are not perfect. So the institution's reinforcement of our
values and a community to support us were blessings, indeed.
The second reason was to have our children experience their
inevitable exposure to a secular world through the filter of
Catholic institutions that theoretically value the life of every person. In their grade school, our children endured an interesting
playground rule. The older children did not play games but
rather monitored the younger students. The older ones grumbled, but they learned every day that to a certain extent they are
indeed their sisters' and brothers' keepers.
Then our children went to an Ursuline high school whose motto
is Serviam, which translates, "I will serve." I like that motto in an
era when self-fulfillment and being happy are the current cultural
infatuations of American society. Many schools, including public
schools, are now requiring community service of some kind.
That's great, but even better, I think, is when "I will serve" is your
motto, your mission. I was proud when my son said yes to
spending several months as an RCIA sponsor, faithfully attending a weekly meeting at our parish in support of a boy from a
public school. And my daughter assumed leadership positions,
sometimes sacrificing some of her want-to-have-fun desires to
attend meetings and help respond to crises. Service is central to
our faith-and probably much healthier for one's personal health
than all the modern rhetoric about self-fulfillment.
We do not yet know what values our children ultimately will accept for themselves and whether they will practice their faith as
they move into adulthood. But we believe that their experiences
of Christian community and service in Catholic schools were
worth the sacrifices and numerous extra checks. The schools
successfully handed down the faith to the next generation, and
our children had as many faith-based experiences as possible in
an increasingly secular society. Given a choice to give them the
same opportunity again, we would.” See more at: http://
www.uscatholic.org/life/2008/07/a-catholic-education-worth
sacrifice#sthash.NReik5Bc.dpuf
I hope Mr. Wojcicki’s words will inspire all of us – parents and
parishioners – to continue to support our Catholic Schools.
They are, I believe, the best investment we can make for our
young people in today’s world.

Peters Patter
Hello from the 3rd and 4th grade classroom. We have been
busy finishing up our lessons in preparation for the end of the
2nd quarter. The year is already half way over! This weekend
begins our annual Catholic Schools Week. At this time we
would like to thank-you for all you do for our school. We appreciate your dedication to our education. Thank-you!
In Religion the 3rd graders are reading about the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. We are reminded that we all have free will that
allows us to choose right from wrong. We also reviewed the
steps involved in making a good confession. The 4th graders
are reading about the time period leading up to the birth of
Christ. We are studying the life of John the Baptist and then
will be transitioning into Jesus’ birth.
In Math the 3rd graders began a chapter on fractions. They
reviewed that fractions are equal parts of a whole and how to
name a fraction. The 4th graders, meanwhile, finished a chapter on basic fractions and began a chapter in which we will be
multiplying fractions, finding multiples of fractions, etc.
In Wisconsin History we are working on a unit that focuses on
immigration. The students had to fill in a family heritage map
and find out which countries their ancestors came from. We
discussed the reason why immigrants settled where they did
and why some of their ancestors left their homeland to come
and settle in a new world in the first place.
In Science we finished up a unit on force. The students
learned what a force is, along with the specific forces of gravity, and friction. We also read about the concept of inertia. We
finished up the chapter reading about Sir Isaac Newton and
some of the ideas he developed about force and motion and
their effect on objects.
