Thank You to all the Notre Dame of De Pere families for your continued support of the St. John's Shelter Meal Program.  With everyone's help, we were able to provide around 1500 complete meals for people that truly needed them over the past winter. This is an amazing accomplishment for our school and would not have been possible without the entire Notre Dame community working together.  Thanks again ~ Jessie Lawton and Laura Weber.

The 8th grade class of 2013 will be graduating tonight.  May God Bless All of You!

 

 

 

JUMP WITH JOY,

Can you believe it is almost SUMMER!

And summer brings hot days, time off from school, and of course, church picnics!!!

Notre Dame school has a wonderful tradition of supporting the St. Francis and St Mary's church picnics through leading and running the children's games.

Please consider signing up to help to work a shift for the picnic games at either St. Francis on Sunday, June 2nd  from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm or at St. Mary's on Sunday, August 11th from 10:45 am to 4:00 pm

Shifts are approximately two hours long and require one parent to sell tickets and supervise and 6 children (ages 4th grade to 100 years old) to run the various games.  Volunteer hours will go toward next year's volunteer requirement.  As well as volunteering your time, we are looking for baked/bought treats and soda for the Cake/Soda Walk and any kind of prize donation such as small toys, stuffed animals, candy, happy meal toys, tattoos, stickers, etc.. 
 
What a great way to show support for the churches that do SO MUCH to help support our school!
