St. Bernard Catholic School is part of the Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) School System. It is a private Catholic school serving Preschool and Elementary through 8th grade (PK3-8) with open enrollment. St. Bernard’s provides an individualized education in a faith-based environment.

What a blessing it has been for our 2nd graders and Ms. LaFrombois-Pethan to spend this semester learning and growing alongside Ms. Megan Salentine, our talented student teacher from St. Norbert College.

We are proud to celebrate Ms. Salentine, who was recently honored with two outstanding awards. She received the Distinguished Scholastic Achievement Award for her academic excellence, as well as the Sister Sally Ann Brickner Award for Excellence in Education, an honor selected by faculty to recognize her promise as a future educator.

It has been a joy to witness her dedication in the classroom each day. Her care for students and love of teaching are evident in all that she does. She has built meaningful relationships with our students and has contributed positively to our school community throughout her time here.

We are grateful to have been part of her journey and are excited for all that lies ahead.

Congratulations, Ms. Salentine!

St. Bernard Catholic School proudly hosted its annual 5th Grade Science Fair on Thursday, April 23. This long-standing tradition continues to be a highlight of the school year, giving our students the opportunity to explore their curiosity and share their learning with others. This year’s event, organized by Ms. Dallapiazza and Ms. Davenport, featured a wide range of creative and thoughtful projects.
Throughout the day, many of our classrooms had the chance to visit the science fair and learn from the 5th-grade students. We were also excited to welcome a large number of parents who came to support the students and hear about their work. The room was filled with energy as students confidently presented their projects and engaged with visitors.
Each student developed an individual project that included a clear hypothesis, data collection, and results. They created detailed poster boards to display their findings and prepared a summary to share with anyone who stopped by their booth. It was clear that a great deal of time and effort went into each project, as students worked for weeks to bring their ideas to life.
This year brought many new and interesting project ideas. Some students explored how gummy bears dissolve in different liquids, while others examined the effects of texting and driving or tested which types of shoes are best for running. The variety of topics reflected both creativity and real-world thinking.
We are so proud of our 5th grade students for their hard work, dedication, and willingness to take on this challenge. Their efforts truly paid off in an impressive display of learning and growth.

On Sunday, April 12, St. Bernard Catholic School proudly hosted its third annual Spring Fling, welcoming families, parishioners, and community members from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for an afternoon filled with fun, fellowship, and support for our school. The event brought a wonderful turnout, with many members of our community coming together to celebrate all that makes St. Bernard such a special place.

Guests enjoyed a wide variety of activities throughout the day. From carnival games and bounce houses to raffles and a well-supported silent auction, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Attendees also had the chance to enjoy delicious food while spending time with friends and connecting with other families in our school and parish community.

One of the highlights of the day was the incredible participation in the silent auction and raffles. Thanks to the generosity of those who attended and placed bids, the event successfully raised funds that will directly support our students and school programs. This level of engagement is a true reflection of the strong support system that surrounds St. Bernard Catholic School.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Spring Fling. A special thank you goes to the many volunteers who generously gave their time and energy to plan, organize, and run the event. Their dedication made the day run smoothly and created a welcoming, joyful atmosphere for all.

The success of this year’s Spring Fling is a testament to the strength of our community. We are thankful for the continued support and look forward to building on this tradition in the years to come.

On Tuesday, February 3, St. Bernard School proudly celebrated the 100th Day of School, marking an exciting milestone in our academic year. Students and staff joined in the fun by dressing up as 100-year-olds, filling the halls with canes, glasses, gray hair, and plenty of smiles.

Classrooms across the building were buzzing with creative, hands-on activities centered around the number 100. Students searched the school to find 100 hidden stickers, completed 100 themed coloring sheets, and created festive 100 Day crowns to wear throughout the day. Older students explored math and probability by flipping a penny 100 times and analyzing their results, while younger students counted, sorted, built, and created using collections of 100.

The day was filled with laughter, learning, and meaningful moments that highlighted just how much our students have grown since the beginning of the school year. Celebrating the 100th Day is a wonderful reminder of the effort, perseverance, and progress our students and teachers have made together.

Most importantly, the celebration marked that we are officially over halfway through the school year. We are proud of the hard work our students have put in so far and excited for all the learning still to come.

What a fun and memorable way to celebrate 100 days of learning at St. Bernard School!
