Spring Service Project
in support of the
St. Vincent de Paul & Father Gene’s Help Center
April 12-23
Lent has been a season of turning to God in simplicity and sincerity as we have been preparing to celebrate the joy of Easter. The word “lent” means spring. Spring cleaning allows us the opportunity to cast out the old and unusable.
The St. Alphonsus National Honor Society is sponsoring a collection of gently used toys for St. Vincent de Paul and clothing for Father Gene’s Help Center. Clothing for men, women, infants, and children without any holes, rips, stains, or tears are appreciated for those in need living in poverty in the Milwaukee and Waukesha Communities. Father Gene's Help Center accepts in-kind donations of new and gently used clothing an
Donation boxes are labeled and placed on each floor of the school building at the end of each hallway.
Thank you for taking this opportunity to simplify your lives by gathering gifts of charity. Thank you in advance for supporting the St. Vincent de Paul and Father Gene’s Help Center.
Peace,
President Caroline Zierden
Vice-President Gabi Trauberman
Treasurer Leo Vogelwede
Secretary Katie Chandek

Boom Cards!
Boom Cards will be used this year in kindergarten. We will be using them in the classroom on our tablets and if necessary for virtual learning at home.
Boom Cards are digital task cards. They are self-checking so your child get immediate feedback. They work on an iPad, Chrome Book, Kindle Fire, and even your phone!
I sent home the login information for your child last week. If you did not receive it just let me know and I can email it to you. Thanks!
