Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update
We are excited to honor Ms. Kathy McNamara as this year’s recipient of the Spirit of St. Wenceslaus Award. Kathy started as a teacher at St. Wenceslaus School in 1978 and continues to help in the STEM lab today. She was a favorite teacher to many and students looked forward to her teaching them how to juggle & the after-school softball program she coordinated.
In addition to her contributions inside the school, she plays a HUGE part in keeping the campus beautiful through her work with the Green Team and spends time getting the students involved in planting and maintenance.
Kathy has been involved with organizing the Adopt-A-Family program for many years, making sure families in need can have a nice Christmas and giving many of our classes opportunities to adopt a family to help during the holidays.
Kathy has left a positive lasting impression on a countless number of students that she has taught over the years at St. Wenceslaus. Through her service to the school and the church she shows our students what it looks like to be a caretaker of God’s earth and his people.
Congratulations to Kathy and thank you for everything that you have done and continue to do for our school.
