Dear Parents,
The weeks become more and more crazy as we start to wind down the year. Can you believe that Thursday is the beginning of May? Time is flying by!
Tuesday at 10am is the cut off for this week's order of..... SCRIP! Please remember this is an excellent opportunity for you and the school to earn some essentially "free" money!
Wednesday is our weekly mass at 8:45. I hope you can join us. It seems there are more and more parents in attendance these days. It is always a privilege to celebrate with you.
Thursday is the annual band concert. I am unsure of the time and place. BINGO is also happening upstairs in the Parish Center beginning at 6:30. Attendance has been slow lately, but ask anyone who has come... we have a great time. Thursday might just be the day you are a winner! Please join us and bring the kiddos!
Friday, the entire school is participating in the Hunger Walk. I am really unsure how it is all happening, but stay tuned to the website for more information.
Next week is the beginning of a new tradition at St. Dennis. Students are invited to participate in a play. Practices will be each night after school next week. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Brittney Coleman.
The 7th graders have done a great job so far with the virtual pig dissection. I have enjoyed listening to the comments and questions that have arisen due to the exposure to this program. The binders are due on Thursday. Next week is the beginning of our pig dissection. If you ever want to stop in and see what we do, feel free. We will be working on them Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30-9:10 and Wednesdays from 12:40-1:20.
It was nice to see some people out to support Mr. Dave St. John and his fight with aplastic anemia. There were 42 donors this weekend at the drive they had. If you are interested in more information, please don't hesitate to talk to Mr. Dave.
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents
HE HAS RISEN... HE HAS RISEN INDEED! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter celebration!
We start our virtual pig dissection on Tuesday. Students will work with his/her lab partner to fill in a set of worksheets to help deepen the understanding of dissection on the computer. They will be answering questions as they go. This opportunity truly helps the students know what they will experience in the coming weeks. The virtual part will last a little over a week. The completed binder will be due on May 1st at the end of class.
We will be cleaning up the neighborhood to celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday afternoon! We will leave around 2pm and will be back by 3pm. This is always a fun time for everyone involved. Please send in a pair of gloves.
Jumprope for Heart is Friday afternoon. The kids love this time to hang out. Pray for good weather!
Mr. Dave's Donor Marrow Drive is on Saturday afternoon. Please stop in and check out the games and fun activities. There will be food! They are hoping to raise money to help with medical expenses, get the word out about aplastic anemia and most importantly getting "tested" as a donor. I did the "test" and it is a simple swipe of the inside of your check, quick and painless! This runs from 10am-2pm in Fellowship Hall. Sure hope you are able to stop by to check it all out, his family has worked very hard to organize a fun time for all.
Don't forget your SCRIP order!
We are on the HOME STRETCH! Please help your child stay focused and up-to-date on assignments.
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
It is National Volunteer Week! Thank you to all of those who have stepped up in the millions of ways St. Dennis Church and the School asks of you! I really appreciate all that each of you do for me and for the school/church!
Those Badgers sure played a great game! I am sad they lost, but they had such composure, they made me proud to say I live in Madison and rank them right up there with "my boys"!
This week is a bit hectic, so hold on!!!! Many kids are coming back from short vacations this week and many students are leaving early for spring break. Please be sure they use their MyHomework app on their Ipad to keep up with what they might be missing. They can also email teachers to check in, as well. When interest and responsibility are shown from a student it is amazing the positive response from the teacher!
Monday: Nothing out of the usual!
Tuesday: 7/8 grade Stations of the Cross in the gym at 9am. It is an amazing experience if you have the opportunity to join us. It is done using shadows. Ms. Polzer has really inspired some great work out of the students participating. I hope you can join us!
Wednesday: Mass is at 8:45. Spring pictures are being taken after church. If students wish to change into a different outfit for his/her picture they may, but will have to change back into his/her uniform after. The middle school students will have a communal reconciliation opportunity at 1pm in the church. We have families at the end of the day.
Thursday: Ordinary day! :)
Friday: All school Stations of the Cross led by the 7th graders. Ms. Pool has had them created a presentation of the stations. The entire school will join us for this presentation at 8:45 in the church. You are more than welcome to join us, if you can!
Have a spectacular spring break! I think this break is long over due and when the students come back it is literally all downhill from there.
The virtual pig dissection begins the day we return from break and the real dissection begins on May 5th. Please pray these go well.
No SCRIP orders for the next two weeks. Please contact a SCRIP committee member if you want to purchase on hand cards they may have.
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter! Many blessings,
Kim
