At St. Bernard School, school spirit is always in the air, and our recent fall sports pep rally took it to the next level! Entirely planned and executed by our amazing Student Council, the event was a vibrant celebration of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun.

The rally kicked off with a heartfelt recognition of our student-athletes. Teams for volleyball, soccer, and cross country were called up one by one, with each athlete’s name announced to cheers from their classmates. It was inspiring to see the pride on their faces as they joined their teams front and center.

After honoring our athletes, the energy soared with an exciting homeroom vs. homeroom game. Students worked together to land beach balls into three different laundry baskets—an entertaining challenge that tested their coordination, strategy, and teamwork. The competition was fierce but friendly, with the winning homerooms scoring coveted NUT cards and candy.

Of course, no pep rally at St. Bernard would be complete without dancing! Mr. Gusloff took charge, leading the students in a variety of dance songs that had everyone on their feet. From classics to the latest hits, the gym echoed with music, laughter, and joyful moves. To top it off, PBIS prizes were awarded to students and teachers, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

Our fall sports pep rally was a resounding success, bringing together athletes, students, and staff to celebrate the incredible community we share. A huge thank you to the Student Council for their hard work and creativity in planning such a memorable event.

We’re already looking forward to the next pep rally in a few months when we’ll honor our winter sports teams. Until then, let’s keep cheering each other on and showing that St. Bernard spirit!

At St. Bernard School, the spirit of Thanksgiving shines brightly through our cherished tradition of giving back. This year, our annual Thanksgiving Baskets Project once again brought our school and parish communities together to provide a heartfelt blessing to families in need.

Each classroom had the meaningful task of filling two baskets with food items. The students embraced the opportunity to serve, decorating the baskets with care and adding a personal touch by writing thoughtful cards to include inside. The project didn’t stop at collecting food—students also sacrificed part of their free time to “shop” at the school store for any remaining items needed to complete the baskets.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of St. Bernard Parish and the contributions from our students, staff, and teachers, we filled enough baskets to bless 50 families. Each family received a decorated basket brimming with food, an additional grocery bag of staples, and two loaves of fresh bread donated by Breadsmith. Teachers pitched in by donating money to purchase pies and potatoes, ensuring these families could enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

A project of this magnitude wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated staff. A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Bongel, Mrs. Soderdahl, Mrs. Zaruba, and Mrs. Heling for their organization and leadership in making this service project a success.

At St. Bernard, we strive to instill the values of gratitude and service in our students. The Thanksgiving Baskets Project is a beautiful reminder of the power of community, compassion, and giving thanks by giving back.

Wishing everyone in the St. Bernard family a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving!

On Friday, November 15, St. Bernard School opened its doors and hearts to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This special day began with a beautiful Mass, where students had the unique opportunity to invite a veteran to join them. The church was filled with a sense of gratitude as Father Adam extended a heartfelt blessing to all veterans in attendance.

Following Mass, the celebration continued with a social gathering in Bishop Hall. It was a wonderful chance for students to spend time with their special guests, sharing conversations over coffee, juice, and donuts. The St. Bernard band added to the festive atmosphere, performing a selection of patriotic and uplifting songs that brought smiles to everyone’s faces.

One of the highlights of the event was the display of memorabilia brought in by our honored veterans. Students eagerly explored these artifacts, gaining a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices and experiences of those who have served. This hands-on interaction sparked meaningful discussions and brought history to life in a way no textbook could.

A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Waack and Ms. Winkler for their thoughtful planning and organization of this event. Their efforts ensured the day was not only memorable but also meaningful for all involved.

Above all, we extend our deepest gratitude to the veterans who joined us and to all who have served our country. Your courage and dedication inspire us, and we are forever thankful for the freedoms we enjoy because of your sacrifice.

Thank you for being our heroes.

Happy Veterans Day from all of us at St. Bernard School!

His flexibility, patience, and willingness to jump in wherever needed make him an invaluable part of the SBS school community. Whether helping manage the buses at the end of the day or working one-on-one with a student, Mr. Beyer always ensures that every student is supported and set up for success. Thank you, Mr. Beyer, for everything you do!

On Monday, November 4, our school community gathered for a beautiful celebration of Día de los Muertos, a tradition that honors loved ones who have passed and celebrates life and memory. Families from all grade levels came together for an evening full of festivities, culture, and community.

The evening began with a blessing of the ofrenda, a vibrant altar that held photos, candles, and offerings. This touching ceremony set the tone for an evening filled with love, remembrance, and joy.

The talented performers from SOL: Baile Folklórico wowed us with traditional dances that highlighted the grace and energy of Mexican heritage. Mariachi Luis Gaytan brought music to life, filling the space with the soulful sounds of mariachi. Our own school choir and band students also took the stage, showcasing their hard work and adding to the atmosphere of celebration.

One of the highlights of the evening was a special reading of La Leyenda de la Momia del Ojo Verde, a captivating tale read by a local author, who brought this story to life for children and adults alike.

Families enjoyed delicious food from local favorites, including Maldonados, La Chata, Green Bay Tamale Company, and Mely’s Cake & Yahualica Restaurante. These local vendors provided traditional dishes and sweet treats that added warmth and flavor to our gathering.

The evening concluded with families playing lotería, a beloved Mexican game of chance similar to bingo. Laughter, excitement, and friendly competition filled the air as everyone played together, wrapping up a truly memorable evening.

This year’s Día de los Muertos event was a beautiful celebration of culture, community, and remembrance. It was wonderful to see so many families come together, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s celebration. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to everyone who joined us.

St. Bernard School was brimming with creativity and excitement this week as students in grades 3K-8 participated in the school’s second annual pumpkin decorating contest, organized by beloved librarian Mrs. Alvarez. A total of 37 students crafted pumpkins inspired by their favorite book characters, transforming their gourds into colorful tributes to some of the most beloved stories.

This year’s contest encouraged students to merge reading with artistry by choosing a character from a book they’d read and designing a pumpkin to bring that character to life. Each student’s unique creation offered a new interpretation, sparking inspiration and fostering a love for reading and the arts.

The competition was a close one, with every pumpkin showing impressive attention to detail and creativity. After voting during their weekly library visits, the students selected their top three favorites, with this year’s awards going to the following talented students:

• 1st Place: Fifth-grader Kami stole the show with her pumpkin inspired by Ferdinand. Her pumpkin’s gentle and calm expression captured the spirit of the story’s lovable bull.
• 2nd Place: Third-grader Fernie’s take on The Nightmare Before Christmas showcased her artistic skills, giving her pumpkin a whimsical yet spooky twist in honor of the classic story.
• 3rd Place: Fifth-grader Isabella charmed the crowd with her interpretation of If You Give A Mouse a Cookie, turning her pumpkin into the playful character of the iconic, cookie-loving mouse.

The contest highlighted the enthusiasm and creativity of all students involved, as well as Mrs. Alvarez’s dedication to fostering a love of literature in fun, engaging ways. The annual event has quickly become a beloved tradition at St. Bernard School, one that brings the school community together and gives every student a chance to share their talents.

Congratulations to Kami, Fernie, and Isabella for their outstanding entries, and thank you to all who participated. With yet another successful contest in the books, we can’t wait to see the imaginative pumpkins our students create next year!
