FAITH FORMATION

All our little "Critters" went two by two into the ark! The audience was entertained through the story of Noah as preschoolers, staff and stage

hands worked with the various props: raindrops, dove, raven, sun, rainbow, etc. and particular critters

performing throughout the narrative.

Once the performance concluded, the preschoolers presented their parents with a gift,

followed by refreshments.

We are proud to announce the following Bap!sms:

Emery Ramona Chick– Daughter of Kyle and Jenny Michael Douglas Klein– Son of Joseph and Jessica Casey Jus!n Rausch– Son of Nathan and Deborah

A very warm and sincere thank you to all of our fine helpers who helped to make St. Valen!ne's Day ever so special for our Homebound members!

Special thanks to our fine Mrs. Ewald and our super students who made cards, decorated the bags (that held their red tulips in bud stages) and made a beau!ful heart magnet for their refrigerator with a scripture verse on it!

Another very special thank you to our fine drivers who delivered and visited with our Home Bound members: Julie Earl, Joe Huelskamp, Len Menkowski, Nancy Quade, Fran Wagner, Pat Popp, Colleen McGlory, and Deacon Jim. Thank you to Lori Tamblyn for ordering and picking them up in Milwaukee. Lori has done this every year!! So Special!!

You not only brought them joy but the precious gi$ of showing them they have not been forgo%en by their St. Thomas Parish Family. They so enjoyed the kind visit too!

May Our Lord con!nue to richly bless all of you always!!

Most Gratefully, Human Çoncerns

P.S. An extended Thank You to Joe Huelskamp who went so many extra

miles--what a special gi$!!

The Fire Chief of Burlington says THANK YOU!!! “On behalf of the Greg Havel Family and to the BFD, would personally like to thank you for making it easier in our !me of sadness.

Please feel free to pass along to the wonderful people that donated their !me to make such a wonderful lunch. Everyone that made us feel at home eased the pain of losing a truly wonderful man.

Principal’s Newsletter Week in Review Another week in the books which means another week closer to spring! With some

of the nicer weather this week the en!re school was able to make it outside for some fresh air. In the classrooms, I saw some exci!ng STEAM projects being engineered. Mrs. O’Connor worked on the life cycle with the 3/4 classroom, balloon cars were the talk of the week in 8th grade science and the 1/2 classroom is building “something” for the 2 ½ inch Stuart Li%le today. We had a few guest speakers in ELA and so much more. It is amazing to see the passion for teaching and learning in this building, we are so blessed! Make Up Day Due to the inclement weather that caused classes to be cancelled five !mes, the 2018-2019 calendar has been revised. General Reminders

8th Grade Spaghe$ Dinner: This years spaghe+ dinner is scheduled for Sunday April 14th. Please stay tuned for !cket informa!on and consider suppor!ng our 8th grade class by ea!ng some amazing Italian food. Open Gym

STA is star!ng Open Gym on Mondays and Wednesdays (basketball) next week from 2:30 pm -3:30 pm. If your son or daughter would like to par!cipate please fill out the a%ached permission slip. This permission slip will cover them for the remainder of the school year.

In order to prevent confusion with students and teachers, we will only allow students to stay if we have parental consent. Meaning that we need you to send the office a quick email le$ng us know that your child will be par!cipa!ng on that day.
