We are pleased to report that last week's exemplary visit for Academic Excellence went very well for us. There was a tremendous buzz in our hallways and classrooms as the team visited our classrooms, interviewed people, and got a sense of what we do academically at SJV. Many thanks to all of the parents, staff members and students who were available to help showcase our academic excellence.
As we completed one visit, we also have two more on the horizon. In addition to Academic Excellence, we have also applied for Exemplary Awards in Catholic Identity and Educating the Whole Child. These are two additional areas that we feel SJV is also excellent in, and we were lucky enough to be granted site visits for each!
The Catholic Identity visit will take place this Friday from 11:00am-3:00pm, and the visiting team consists of Dr. Kathleen Cepelka, Superintendent for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Dr. Tom Keily, Director for the Institute of Catholic Leadership at Marquette University, and Michael Coffey, Director for the Saint Claire Center for Catholic Life.
The Educating the Whole Child visit will take place Monday from 8:00am-12:00pm, and that team will consist of Brenda White, Associate Superintendent for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Dr. Jennifer Maney, Greater Milwaukee Catholic Education Consortium, and Carolyn Caruso, educational leadership development consultant.
We are extremely excited about these two additional opportunities, and we feel very blessed to be receiving on-site visits. These visits truly validate all of the hard work, efforts, and sense of community we have at SJV, and we thank all of you for your role in that. We will keep all families updated as we learn the results from these three visits.
Positively SJV,

 Box Top Drive We will have our spring box top drive from May 11- May 20. If we collect 4,000 box tops, the students earn a non-uniform day. This is a great way to help earn funds for Home and School activities without spending anything extra. Have your student find and trim the box tops in your house if he/she wants to earn a non-uniform day. For every box top, our school earns 10 cents - it really adds up!
