This school year, we are excited to introduce a brand new opportunity for our students in grades K–5: the Student Ambassador Club. Led by Mrs. Bartlett, this after-school service club is already making a meaningful impact by teaching our youngest learners the importance of generosity, compassion, and giving back to others.

Since its launch, the Student Ambassador Club has been busy spreading cheer throughout our school and community. Earlier this fall, students created and donated tie blankets to local hospitals, offering warmth and comfort to those who need it most. This hands-on service project allowed students to work together while learning how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

The club also hosted a Thanksgiving Feast Flea Market, raising an impressive $429. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this event through donations and purchases. The funds raised were used to support our annual Food Drive, helping provide much needed items for families in our community. Thank you to all who helped make this project such a success.

Now, our Student Ambassadors are preparing for their next service initiative: Adopt a Family. Students will be shopping for gifts at Walmart and wrapping presents right here at school, turning generosity into action and bringing joy to families during the Christmas season.

In addition, the Student Ambassador Club will be hosting a bake sale following the K–4 Christmas Concert tonight. The money raised from this bake sale will go directly toward purchasing items for the Adopt a Family project, allowing our students to continue spreading joy and kindness this Christmas season.

We are so proud of the compassion, teamwork, and enthusiasm shown by our Student Ambassador Club members. This new program has already proven to be a wonderful way for our students to serve others, build leadership skills, and spread cheer both inside and outside our school community. Thank you to Mrs. Bartlett for guiding our students and to our families for supporting this meaningful work.

On Thursday, November 13, our entire school in grades kindergarten through eighth grade had the chance to cheer on the University of Wisconsin Green Bay women’s basketball team for their Education Day game. It was a memorable day filled with excitement, school pride, and a whole lot of cheering. Providing our students with an opportunity to watch a college basketball game is always special, and this year was no exception.

Our kindergarten students were especially thrilled to be there. Player number 21, Kallie Peppler, spends time each week helping in Ms. Armstrong’s classroom. Seeing a familiar face on the court made the experience even more meaningful. The kindergarten students lit up when they spotted her playing, and they loved getting to cheer her on in such a big arena.

Throughout the game, our students proudly held up homemade posters along with printed photos of coaches and players. The energy was high from start to finish with cheers, games, and excitement filling every moment. Cheering on the Phoenix as they defeated the New Hampshire Wildcats made the day even better.

This field trip has become a tradition we look forward to each year. The past two years, we attended a men’s basketball Education Day game, so joining the women’s team for the first time was a new and fun experience for everyone. Our students also received discounted ticket vouchers for future games, which makes it a wonderful activity for families looking for something enjoyable to do together this winter.

We are grateful for the partnership and the memories created. It was a great day for our students, our staff, and our school community.

Go Phoenix!

Each November, our school community comes together for one of the most meaningful traditions of the year: the Thanksgiving Baskets Project. This year, every grade level participated by collecting a wide variety of food items, filling our halls with generosity and reminding us what it truly means to care for one another. Thanks to the kindness of our students, families, and parish community, we were able to support fifty families in need this Thanksgiving.

After weeks of collecting donations, our third graders took on the important job of packing each basket. They worked thoughtfully and carefully, choosing which items to include based on each family’s size and needs. Their sense of responsibility and empathy was evident as they organized the boxes and made sure every family would feel supported.

Once the boxes were packed, the students created handmade cards for each family. These notes served as heartfelt reminders that the baskets were gathered with care and prepared with love. The cards were simple gestures, yet they carried the spirit of gratitude and compassion that defines this project each year.

In addition to the incredible amount of food donated, our community also contributed generous monetary gifts. Because of this support, we were able to include a grocery gift card in every basket, offering families continued assistance beyond the holiday season.

This project is always a powerful reminder that what we do as a school community matters. When we come together, we make a real and lasting difference. We are deeply grateful for the generous hearts of our students, families, and parish members who continue to show up when it counts.

Thank you, St. Bernard School and Parish, for living out the spirit of giving so beautifully.

Our 4th and 5th grade students had an unforgettable opportunity as they spent the day learning about space at the Mulva Cultural Center. Thanks to a special partnership, each student was even able to bring along one special guest to share in the experience. It truly was the best field trip ever.

The visit centered around the Life in Space exhibition, an engaging collection featuring more than fifty unique artifacts from space flight history. Students explored original NASA objects, astronaut memorabilia, models of rockets and satellites, space suits, shuttle tiles, and even a moon rock. The exhibit brought the world of space exploration to life by highlighting the journeys of astronauts, scientists, and technicians who made it all possible.

One of the highlights was walking through life-sized models of a rocket and the space station, giving students a first-hand understanding of what it might feel like to live and work in orbit. They participated in a scavenger hunt that encouraged them to seek out plaques, artifacts, and hidden details across the exhibition. Every stop added a new layer to their growing knowledge about space travel.

The hands-on experiences were just as exciting. Students tested out virtual reality challenges to see what it would be like to walk in space, and they climbed into simulators that made them feel as though they were flying through the galaxy. Our bravest explorers even stepped into the Multi-Axis Trainer, a spinning simulator that mimics the tumble astronauts might experience during reentry. Their laughter, determination, and courage made the moment unforgettable.

The visit wrapped up with a space-themed video that tied together everything they had learned throughout the day. Between the artifacts, costumes, hands-on technology, and immersive experiences, students gained a deeper appreciation for the science, bravery, and teamwork behind space exploration.

We are so grateful to the Mulva Cultural Center for welcoming our students and for offering this extraordinary opportunity. If you have a chance to visit the Life in Space exhibit yourself, it will be on display until January 5. It is an incredible way to step into the world of astronauts without ever leaving Wisconsin.

Our second graders had a truly beautiful experience attending the Bishop’s Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. Together with other Catholic schools from the Diocese of Green Bay, they gathered in prayer and celebration of our shared faith.

During the Mass, students reflected on what it means to live like saints—showing kindness, love, and faith in their everyday lives. As a heartfelt gesture, they presented a special spiritual bouquet to Bishop Ricken, filled with prayers and intentions from our St. Bernard community.

After Mass, the students enjoyed a peaceful rosary walk through the serene Shrine grounds. Surrounded by the beauty of creation, they had the opportunity to pray quietly and reflect on the importance of growing closer to God.

We are so grateful to Bishop Ricken and the Shrine staff for welcoming our students and creating such a meaningful day of faith, prayer, and connection.
