Gresham School
Homecoming is this week. Dress-up days are Cross Gender Day on Monday, Twin Day on Tuesday, Blast from the Past (dress up old-school) on Wednesday, School Spirit Day on Thursday and Color Wars on Friday. On Friday, games will be held outside. There will also be a cookout for the entire school.
Tuesday was parents night for volleyball, and Thursday is soccer’s parents night.
Junior high volleyball traveled to Bowler on Oct. 1. The sixth-grade team won all three games; seventh grade was 1-2 and eighth grade 2-1. The team travels to Marion on Thursday.
Principal Keary Mattson, third-grade teacher Lisa Hoffman and fifth-grade teacher James Mathews traveled to Madison on Tuesday to receive our school’s recognition for our scores on the WKCE testing. A day of fun is tentatively planned for Oct. 25 to celebrate our success.
Our fifth grade held its annual second-guessing competition. The winner was Fiona Hoffman. Second place went to Raven Bennett and third place to Saedre Edick.
Sacred Heart Catholic School
Our students and families had a great time being a part of the homecoming parade on Friday. The nautical theme gave us a chance to share the message that “Jesus Saves” and for others to “Come Meet our New Captain.” Father Luke enjoyed the ride through the parade with the students.
The first-grade class had a delicious smell filling the building last week. They learned how to make applesauce from scratch. They even realized that they didn’t need sugar to make God’s natural fruits taste yummy.
On Monday, Sacred Heart Catholic School had the first show-your-spirit day. Students and staff showed their school pride by wearing school shirts or school colors. We look forward to celebrating our school pride the first Monday of the month for the rest of the school year. Even more exciting is the current voting to establish a new school logo. Students, staff and parents have been voting on logos to represent our school. We hope to have a final logo design approved by the Board of Education later this month. Once the logo is approved, watch for our new school sign to be put up by the school playground. We will also be offering the new logo design on school shirts and spirit-wear. These will make great Christmas gifts for our students and supporters of our school.
Next week we are looking forward to our 4K, kindergarten, first- and second-graders’ trip to Delzer’s Pumpkin Patch in Oconto Falls. They will enjoy a Monday afternoon of fall fun. The third grade through eighth grade will be taking a pumpkin patch trip to Mares Farm in Clintonville on Tuesday. The students will be learning about agriculture in Wisconsin.
St. Paul Lutheran, Bonduel
Tonight, Oct. 9, grades K-8 will be performing a musical, free to parents and public, entitled “Land of the Lost & Found.” The musical is about one hour in length and is the only public performance prior to Grandparents’ Day, which we will celebrate Friday. As usual, we are planning to have about 500 students, staff and grandparents in attendance. Parents host the registration and help serve the meal, while teachers provide classroom activities following a chapel service. The day is a highlight of the year for students and grandparents alike!
Christmas wreaths are being sold by students in preschool, 4K and kindergarten until Nov. 1. Profits are used to benefit the educational needs of these grades, as well as financial aid for these families. Order forms are available from any student in these grades, the church narthex or church/school office.
Plans are under way for the church to celebrate its 150th anniversary the weekend of Oct. 19-20. All students will take part in singing for one or more services. A highlight will be hearing the Rev. Matthew Harrison, LCMS president, preach the sermon. A catered lunch will follow. Tickets are available to purchase in the office or after church services. Students, parents and staff are fortunate to be a part of this historic event, and we look forward to many more years of witnessing the saving grace of God to the Bonduel community. To God be the Glory — Yesterday, Today, and Forever!
St. James Lutheran
October is a busy time with lots going on and a lot still to come. It has been a great start to the year, so there are lots of smiles going on around here.
Just a reminder that Grandparent’s Day is just around the corner, on Oct. 23. This year we will be having chapel right away in the morning, and ending with lunch. When you are done eating with your student, that will end our morning with you, but you are welcome to take your grandchildren with you if you wish to spend the afternoon with them. Otherwise, you can say goodbye and your grandchildren will return to their teacher. Either way, we do hope you can spend the morning with us. More information will follow next week.
On Sept. 27, the fourth- and fifth-graders took an adventure to our state capital, Madison. The first stop on the trip was a tour of the Capitol. The students met Justice Prosser. With his help, some students filled in for the justices and held a mini trial. After the trial the students toured the other branches in the Capitol. After leaving the Capitol, they went to the Historical Society Museum. After the tour everyone thought they needed to incorporate a physical education class into the trip by letting the students climb the many flights of stairs to reach the lookout tower around the dome of the Capitol. After getting their exercise, the students boarded the bus and made their way to the Henry Vilas Zoo, a free zoo in Madison. It was a great way to end their adventure. The fourth- and fifth-grade students would like to thank Mr. Mueller for putting together the trip to Madison. Also, a big thank you to Mrs. Frappy and Mr. Mueller and all the parents who made the trip with us.

The fourth-graders just started their Adventures in Dairyland Unit. High school students come in and teach the fourth-graders about dairy farms and the products that we get from them. As part of their adventure, they will go visit a dairy farm.
Wolf River Lutheran High School
At Wolf River Lutheran High School, we are grateful for the support that local businesses give to our students’ education. Last week, the entrepreneurship class visited KI–Bonduel and had the chance to tour the plant and see firsthand where school desks, tables and chairs are assembled. Students learned that KI processes a significant number of special orders, and learned how each department has an integral role in the process. Thanks to KI–Bonduel for hosting the tour and facilitating a helpful question and answer session.
The Introduction to Agriculture class enjoyed special speaker David Schneider from CRI—Shawano. Drawing from his work with Cooperative Resources International, Mr. Schneider lectured the students about beef cattle nutrition and handling, and explored cattle breeding, genetics and reproduction, including the pros and cons of artificial insemination. He is an enthusiastic instructor with extensive speaking experience, and his lectures and hands-on demonstrations added a great dimension to the ag course.
