January 30 & February 1

Dear Parents,

It was great to see many of you at our CSW (Catholic School Week) Open House!  Just a few notes about the week ahead...

Thank you for signing up for parent teacher conferences.  If you haven't yet done that, the sign up will be sitting out in our classroom for you to do that.  Please let me know if you need a different date/time than those listed.

The February snack volunteer list will be going home on Tuesday. It is for the first half of the month only.  We'll work out the remainder of the year when we meet for conferences.  

During CSW, each classroom is collecting food donations.  We will have a bag in our room this.  Feel free to send in food Tuesday and/or Thursday.  
On Tuesday, each class will be wearing a class color.  The color for 3K is blue.  On Thursday, each class will be dressing nicely.  (We will avoid painting on Thursday.)  

FYI-We will not be going outside to play this week.

Each quarter our 3K students get new 6th grade buddies.  We got new buddies last week.  Both the 6th grade as well as our 3K children thoroughly enjoy our buddy times together. We typically read a story together and then work on a corresponding project after.  If there is extra time remaining, the 6th grade buddies read individually to their 3K buddies.

Here is the original CSW schedule previously sent:


  • Monday, January 29 - Theme: Community Pride
    • Students wear Wrightstown Tiger apparel (or blue & white)
    • Food Drive Kickoff (Feel free to send in food donations on Tuesday & Thursday.  St. Clare will collect food all week.)
  • Tuesday, January 30 - Theme: Our Students are Great
    • Each class wears a particular color (3K wears blue)
    • Afternoon Trivia
  • Wednesday, January 31 - Theme: National Pride
    • Students wear red, white & blue
    • Grandparent Bingo:  Since this is a Wednesday, 3K does not participate as a group.  However, 3K children and grandparents (or special person) are welcome to come if you'd like!  If this is something your family will participate in, please call the office to let them know.
  • Thursday, February 1 - Theme: Vocations within the Catholic Church
    • Students Dress Up Nicely
    • Fr. Daniel Schuster, vocations director for the Diocese of Green Bay will be at St. Clare to meet with all of the children.  He does fun, engaging age-appropriate discussions and activities with students.  3K, 4K & 5K will meet with Fr. Schuster as one group.
  • Friday, February 2 - Theme: Family Day
    • Students wear St. Clare apparel or school colors (blue, green & white).
    • There will be a Mass at 10:15 followed by bowling at Ashwaubenon Lanes.  A pizza lunch is served while bowling.  Again, since this is a Friday, 3K does not participate as a group.  However, if this is something your family wishes to participate in, you are more than welcome to do so!  It is important that you contact the office to sign up. 
    • There is a parent social in the evening!  Line up a babysitter and meet other school families.  Should be a fun evening. :)
