Thanks for coming out to support our SJV teams in the Padre Serra Tournament!

Students in 2CB had a rummage sale in their classroom. Students practiced buying and selling small items to practice counting coins. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed the experience. They got some good deals, too!

On 3.14, the middle school math students celebrated pi day. They calculated pi after measuring the circumference and diameter of various objects including hula hoops, rolls of masking tape, cans of fruit, etc. Stay tuned next week for a video of the students reciting the first 137 digits of pi.

Click here for the Summer Camp Sign-Up and Catalog.Safeguarding all of God's Children Lessons
In the pastoral effort to respond to the need for the protection of children and youth, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has enhanced its Safeguarding All of God's Family program and developed additional curriculum for all children and youth. As part of this program, all children and youth in grades K4-12 grade in schools and faith formation programs will be given additional information on how to protect themselves and become aware of their surroundings. Your child's class will be discussing this information during one religion class the week of April 4. If you would like to see the lesson plan or do not wish your child to participate, please contact Courtney Albright. Shamrock Pride!
We have a very eventful week here at SJV and there are a number of exciting events going on that we want to highlight. First off, the middle school students will be performing James and the Giant Peach Jr. this Thursday and Friday. They have been working extremely hard and are excited to put on a great show for everyone. Also on Thursday night, the 8th grade girls will be playing their next game in the Padre Serra Tournament against Christ King at 6:30pm. Let's get out there and spread our SJV pride at the musical or at the Padre!
Positively SJV,
