Next week across the country we kick off “Catholic Schools Week.” After each Mass next weekend, instead of our traditional “Open House” tours of the school for new families, several of our School Board members will be here in the Fellowship Hall to host an opportunity to learn about our school for those who are interested. We welcome all new parish families with children as well as parishioners who are considering changing to our Catholic School.
We will practice social-space-safety guidelines, but we will still give parishioners an opportunity to pick up brochures and packets of information about
St. Clare School as well as meet board members and teachers for any questions.
I especially want to thank our school board members and other parishioners who volunteer so many extra hours in committee work and do a lot of ‘behind-thescenes’ efforts to keep our school great. Present Board Members from our parish we thank are Jessica Kalmer (Chair), Chris Buatz, Heather Ertel, Jaclyn Gross, Betsy Weinel and Debbie Zimmerman.
I am also very grateful for the teachers from our own parish – Mrs. Christy Dillaplain, Mrs. Stephanie Egan, Mrs. Jamie Eros, Mr. Tom Fischer, Mrs. Jennifer Fischer, Mrs. Robmary Fuentes, Mrs. Tara Sill and Mrs. Dianna Zagorski.
We are also blessed to have several Catholic High Schools in our area that serve our parishioners and help our young people keep learning about their faith in these important years of their life.
