Marathon Day – what to expect!

Wear your marathon t-shirt!

The marathon consists of kids and parents walking or running a course around our St. Wenceslaus campus. Everyone can do it! You can go one lap or many laps.

For every lap around the course, there is a prize table at the end. The more laps, the bigger the prizes.

8:30-9:00 – check-in. Each student must check-in and gets a lap tally pinned to their back.
9:00-10:00 – running and walking – go to homeroom teacher for a tally after each lap.
10:00 – prize tables open
10:30 – event concludes

There will be coffee/donuts upon arrival.
The local Knights of Columbus will be there to serve us hot dogs and chips for an early lunch.

Water will be available but we suggest each child have a water bottle of their own for the run.

Toddler Tuesdays
Every Tuesday (On days when school is in session)

8:00 AM -10:00 AM

Come when you can and bring your friends and neighbors who also have toddlers- ages 1-4/5. Kids can run around in the gym.  Our PE teacher, Mrs. Turner, will be there too and provide some of the school equipment for even more fun.

Park in the school parking lot and enter through the main doors near the gym. Someone will be there to let you in. If the door is locked, just want in the lobby. We will find you!

Heads up for October 19
We will not have the school open on this date. The School staff will be joining all other Catholic school staff members from our 79 schools of the Archdiocese. There will be nearly 2500 Catholic school staff members gathered.

This event is called the Summit of Excellence. It takes place at the Minnneapolis Convention Center and begins with Mass with Archbishop Hebda, followed by workshop learning sessions.

Club House and preschool are closed too.

Volunteers are welcome!
We welcome all volunteers to our school after more than 2 years of not having school guests due to Covid.

If your child’s teacher reaches out for helpers, you need to make sure that you are fully in compliance with our school safety standards. The safety program is called Virtus.

Contact the school for more information if you will be regularly serving as a school volunteer.

Come for lunch!
Parents are welcome to come to school for lunch. Please call ahead to get on the lunch count. Stop by the school office upon arrival. Adult lunch cost is $5.

From the School Advisory Council
We know that families are busy and sometimes it helps to have new ideas to incorporate more of the faith into your family life. We will be highlighting a family challenge in the newsletters.

For the Love of Family
This week’s challenge:
Parents and grandparents should attend the school Mass on Wednesday, September 28 at 8:00AM to help celebrate the Feast of St. Wenceslaus.  For those who cannot make it, ask your kids what they learned at Mass or what was different/special about this Feast Day Mass Celebration.

(Kids sit with their teachers up front. Other guests find seating in the back.)
