Chili Luncheon Update
Sharon Woodward, our head cook, has graciously volunteered to cook for our Chili Luncheon. However, she has taken ill and while she recovers, we are faced with the challenge of preparing the chili on our own. If you can’t work the day of the chili luncheon, we could use your help cutting vegetables, browning meat, and various other things. Call Patti Soter at 608-697-1189 to help.
We wish Sharon a speedy recovery.
  • Your Money at Work

Something for you to think about - Patti Soter’s term as Home & School secretary is up after this school year, and we will also need a Vice President as Craig & Natalie Murphy take the helm as presidents.

Chili Supper

Home & School will be holding a chili luncheon Sunday, February 15th from 12-3pm. If you are friendly, energetic, fun-loving, and want to have a tasty meal, you should sign up for this! YOU WANT to be a part of this!

Your Money at Work:
We spent $50 for the Christmas reception.
We donated $100 toward the painting of the kitchen.

What We’re Up To:
Twenty four out of 101 school families returned Christmas Reception surveys. There have been many helpful ideas, and we appreciate all the input received. Thank you!


The Home & School Board got together in November for an evening of lively conversation and brainstorming. Each of us will be looking at other Catholic Schools to learn more about their H&S organizations. We are open to ideas and suggestions on how to best serve our school.
