Fifth graders went to the middle school to work in the science lab for the first time. They had the hands-on opportunity to learn about density by building liquid density towers. Working in the lab gave these soon-to-be sixth graders a chance to see what middle school is all about!

One of the things that we pride ourselves on at St. John Vianney is our ability to educate the whole child. This was clearly evident last night at our first annual Fine Arts Night. It was such a wonderful night to celebrate all of the wonderful talents of our students. Our Fine Arts Night was divided into two main parts - the cafeteria was setup for our vocalists, instrumentalists, and artists, and the middle school science rooms were setup for our 8th grade scientists displaying their extremely impressive science fair projects. Please enjoy this Animoto video which highlights the night.
Positively SJV,

 April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
In addition to our efforts throughout the year, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has always recognized the important month of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. This year, we have also designated April 17-23, as Safe Environment Week. In doing so, we can assure that every parish and school, as well as the entire faith community focuses, at the same time, on the importance of keeping our children and youth safe.
This year's theme will follow the Year of Mercy. As Pope Francis said when declaring the Year of Mercy, Merciful like the Father ... is the "motto" of this Holy Year. In mercy, we find proof of how God loves us... Day after day, touched by His compassion, we also can become compassionate towards others. Please follow this link for further information. |
