“Start being brave about everything, driving out darkness and spreading light as well. Don’t look at your weakness, but realize that in Christ crucified you can do everything.”

— Saint Catherine of Siena

Dear Siena Families and Friends,

As summer winds down, I am thrilled to welcome you all to the 2025-26 school year! Our entire Siena team has been working incredibly hard, dedicating countless hours to hiring new staff, ensuring top notch school buildings through maintenance and renovation projects in some schools; and thoughtful planning to ensure we offer the best possible experience for our students.

A special welcome back to all our returning students – we're so happy to see your familiar faces! And to those who are new to Siena, I would like to extend a warm welcome; we're absolutely delighted you're joining our academic and faith forward community. We're all incredibly excited to embark on this new year together.

We look forward to a successful year for all our students and are grateful for your continued trust and partnership.

In gratitude and service,

Dr. Sue Savaglio-Jarvis

Our summer school program, presented by CfUT, serviced 207 students across the Siena system. Students were engaged in reading, math, arts, social studies, science, and physical education, as well as religious education and prayer. We would like to thank the educational staff at CfUT for their hard work and dedication to our students! Special thanks to Siena teachers Ms. Hilliard and Ms. Maraccini for taking lead roles this summer!

Since 2004, VMY SEMO has been doing mission work all over the country. This year, their work helped those in need in Racine. 150 volunteers were hosted at SCHS for seven days, providing areas for them to sleep, eat, and gather.

Over the summer, the St. Lucy 3K room and library were relocated and renovated! We are excited to bring these updates to our learners!
