Upcoming Events Virtual Pancake Breakfast - March 13th-21st Virtual Cookie Decorating - April 9th Alumni Spotlight Maddie Ebert, Class of 2011 After graduating from high school in 2015, I attended The University of Wisconsin - Madison, where I studied Biology and Human Development and Family Studies. Since graduating from UW-Madison, I have been working at The University of Wisconsin Hospital as an Anesthesia Technician, primarily in the Inpatient Operating Room. I am also in the process of interviewing for medical school for the fall of 2021. It has been very inspirational to work alongside medical professionals each day, and I am looking forward to continuing my education in the hope of becoming a physician. Additionally, I am working on completing my Yoga Teacher Training license by the end of this summer. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to keep in touch with some of my QP classmates, and we have remained friends to this day! QP in the Community The Queen of Peace Contemporary Youth Choir was unable to sing their traditional song, Christmas Hallelujah, at Christmas Eve Mass this year, so they made a virtual choir video instead! Not only did it include current 5th-8th grade Choir members, but also some 9th grade QP Alum! Click on the image to watch the video! A not-so-silent KNIGHT! On the night that would have normally been the traditional Primary Christmas Program over 125 families gathered virtually for a School Community Caroling Event. Families volunteered to lead songs, and the event was emceed by QP Alum and current QP Parent, Brian Flad. The night ended with QP Alum, JT Roach, leading everyone in a rousing rendition of Feliz Navidad. JT also talked about his time at QP and had some words of encouragement for current students.  Prayers for Msgr Ken! The entire school created signs last week for Msgr Ken who began his treatment for Throat Cancer. Each class gathered around one of the many security cameras on campus and waved and held up their signs. Msgr was able to see all the love and well wishes by viewing the security monitors, and he was quite surprised! Please keep Msgr Ken in your Prayers this Lenten Season!

Parish Celebrates 75 Years!

On December 13th, 2020, our QP Community gathered together for an outdoor, drive-in celebration of the Parish's 75th Anniversary. They were treated to a Cake Push Pop from Craig's Cake Shop as well as a video which included memories from many parishioners. The night concluded with Msgr virtually blowing out the candles on the cake, and then counting down to the tree lighting of all the trees surrounding the QP campus.

A Photo Journey Through the School During Covid

Teachers are teaching to kids who are virtual learners, and to kids who are in the classroom. The auditorium has been converted to the 7th grade classrooms in order to keep students 6 ft apart and class sizes small.

Hallways have been labeled with stickers to help remind kids to stay 6 ft apart . The Art Room, Music Room, Library, and Band room have all been converted into classrooms in order to create small sections of each grade.
