In early September, our sixth graders had the opportunity to go to Camp Tekakwitha with three of their teachers, parent chaperones and their classmates.
We love camp for all of these reasons:
Our intermediate students commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo fire with a field trip to the shrine. They learned about the history of the site and participated in several centers – praying the rosary, lighting a candle for a loved one, and doing a prayer walk.
Congratulations to St. Bernard Catholic School teacher Ms. Fiona Hehir for receiving a CatholicLink Award.
The honor rewards a St. Norbert College education graduate who teaches at GRACE or Notre Dame Academy for three years with a $5,000 award. Thank you Ms. Hehir for your dedication to Catholic education and for providing our students with a solid foundation upon which they can grow academically and spiritually.
Presenting Ms. Hehir with the CatholicLink Award was Mr. Brian Bruess, President of St. Norbert College; Mrs. Mary Schaupp, Executive Director of CatholicLink; Mr. Tom Kiely, President of Notre Dame Academy; Mrs. Kimberly Desotell, President of GRACE; and Mrs. Crystal Blahnik, Principal at St. Bernard Catholic School.
