On June 5th, students from kindergarten through seventh grade came together for one of the most anticipated events of the school year, our Annual Carnival Day. This special day marks a joyful celebration just before summer break, giving students a chance to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, and create lasting memories with their classmates.

This year’s Carnival Day featured an exciting new addition that had everyone talking…the dunk tank! Students eagerly lined up for the chance to dunk either Mr. Gusloff or Ms. Dudzik. Although the water was definitely cold, the laughter and cheers made it all worth it. Watching our principal and assistant principal take the plunge brought smiles and excitement to the whole school community.

Beyond the dunk tank, the fun continued with bounce houses where students could jump and play to their heart’s content. The playground was alive with activity, and Mrs. Heling kept the energy high, leading relay races that tested speed, teamwork, and spirit. Everyone enjoyed delicious treats like cotton candy and popcorn, adding a sweet touch to the festivities.

Creative expressions were everywhere as well. Kids got temporary tattoos and face paint, transforming into butterflies, superheroes, and more. Bubbles floated through the air while children drew colorful masterpieces with chalk, filling the outdoor spaces with vibrant art and laughter.

Most importantly, Carnival Day was a time for students to simply enjoy being outside with their friends, savoring the final moments of the school year together before the last day of school the following day. This tradition is something our students look forward to every year, and it continues to bring our community closer with shared joy and celebration.

To see the smiles and fun from Carnival Day, check out the photos from our photo booth on our social media pages. Here’s to another successful Carnival Day and many more to come!

There’s something magical about watching a butterfly take flight for the very first time, especially when you’ve cared for it since it was just a tiny caterpillar. This spring, our first-grade students have been buzzing with excitement as they learned all about the life cycle of butterflies, thanks to a hands-on science unit led by Ms. Larson and Mrs. Anderson.

To bring their learning to life, each classroom raised live caterpillars, observing them closely as they munched their way through leaves, formed chrysalises, and eventually transformed into beautiful butterflies. Students were amazed to witness metamorphosis firsthand, as this was a process they had only read about in books or seen in videos before this experience.

Throughout the unit, students took responsibility for caring for the caterpillars and later the butterflies, demonstrating empathy, curiosity, and teamwork. They journaled about the changes they noticed each day and discussed the stages of development with their classmates. This hands-on approach helped deepen their understanding of science concepts while building a sense of wonder for the natural world.

After spending time observing and caring for the butterflies, it was finally time to set them free. The release day was both joyful and emotional, as students gathered outside to watch their butterflies flutter into nature. It was a beautiful reminder of the growth and transformation they had witnessed.

We are so grateful to Ms. Larson and Mrs. Anderson for creating such a memorable learning experience. Not only did students gain knowledge about butterflies, but they also gained a deeper appreciation for the beauty of life and the importance of caring for living things. What a special way to celebrate spring and the spirit of discovery!

We are excited to share some wonderful news about the future of our school community. As we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year, we are thrilled to welcome two new teachers who will be joining our staff and continuing the legacy of excellence in our early elementary grades.

Ms. Elle Armstrong will be stepping into the role of kindergarten teacher, following the dedicated service of Mrs. Amber Hellmann. A De Pere native and a 2017 graduate of St. Norbert College, Ms. Armstrong brings both a love for teaching and a strong connection to our local community. She shared,

“Hi, I’m Miss Armstrong! I was born and raised in De Pere, and am a 2017 St. Norbert grad. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family at our cottage in Green Lake and cheer on the Packers! I am beyond excited to join the GRACE school system and be a part of the SBS community.”

Ms. Alexis Olson will be joining us as our new first-grade teacher, following the departure of Ms. Terri Larson. Ms. Olson recently completed her degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Language Arts at St. Norbert College. Many of our students and families may already recognize her from her time student teaching at SBS this past fall. She shared,

“I’m thrilled to be joining the SBS community as a first-grade teacher next year! I had a wonderful experience as a student teacher here in the fall and truly fell in love with the warm, supportive community. I recently graduated from St. Norbert College with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Language Arts, and I am so excited to begin my teaching career at a place that already feels like home!”

We are so excited to welcome Ms. Armstrong and Ms. Olson to our St. Bernard School family. Their enthusiasm, passion for teaching, and love for our community will make them a great fit for our mission and values. We can’t wait to see the joy, learning, and inspiration they will bring to their classrooms and to our entire school.

At St. Bernard School, academic achievement is one of our top priorities. Through collaboration, intervention, enrichment, and ongoing data analysis, our dedicated staff works diligently to ensure every student is supported in reaching their full potential.

Recently, our data team partnered with an instructional coach from CESA 7 to take a closer look at our STAR assessment results. This spring data review was an important opportunity to reflect on student progress and set a course for continued growth. After examining trends and performance indicators, we worked together to develop a plan that will strengthen our approach to academic support next school year by incorporating WIN time into our daily schedule. WIN stands for “What I Need,” and it’s a flexible period that will allow students to receive targeted instruction based on their specific academic needs, whether that’s extra help, enrichment, or time to dive deeper into classroom concepts.

Our teachers play a vital role in this process. At St. Bernard, educators review STAR data three times each year during fall, winter, and spring. They also meet biweekly in professional learning teams to discuss data and share strategies for supporting students in meaningful, personalized ways. These ongoing conversations ensure that instruction remains responsive and that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

We are proud to share that the majority of our students demonstrated growth on the spring STAR assessment. Individual reports will be sent home with students at the end of the school year, and we hope families will take time to celebrate these achievements. The results reflect the hard work of both our students and staff, and our commitment to continuous improvement.

As we look ahead to next year, we’re excited about the addition of WIN time and the opportunities it will create for deeper learning and greater success. At St. Bernard, we believe in growing a little more each day, and we know that by working together, we can make that happen for every student.
