Gym Shoes:
Please make sure that your child/ren has gym shoes to wear on gym days. These should not be the shoes that they are wearing outside for recess. We do not want salt tracked in from outside ruining our gym floor.
After-School Care:
If you are in need of after-school care for your child, please remember to complete the February calendar.
In order to be able to provide adequate supervision we ask that parents sign their children up at least one day in advance. Any changes should be reported to the office that morning. Due to staffing requirements, we may not be able to accommodate last-minute requests. If your child is not on the after-school care list they should not be staying after school! Supervision is required for any student in the building after hours.

School Garden Project - Volunteers Needed:
I know it sounds crazy, but we are starting to think about spring planting in our St. Gabriel Gardens! Mr. Thuecks, our 5th-grade teacher, would like to get volunteers who are interested in helping our gardens grow at the school and parish grounds. Some ideas that are being planned are a vegetable garden that the kids plant, a butterfly garden, Monarch Butterfly Project, an outside learning space, an updated walking path, tree planting, kids planting their own pumpkins, and a living rosary with flowers. If you have a green thumb or think you could be a resource to help us with donations, please complete THIS FORM as soon as possible. Mr. Thuecks would like to begin meeting on a regular basis starting in January to make sure things are ready to go by May.
"Thank you for your consideration!" - Mr. Thuecks

Thank you to all those who supported this year's pizza fundraiser. Pizzas will be available for pick up after school on Friday, February 24th. Please mark your calendars.
It would be very helpful to have the majority of school family pizzas picked up at this time, so they can be delivered to your customers as soon as possible.
Additionally, this will also help us reduce the lines after each Mass, so we will be able to distribute parish members' orders more easily.

Scouts at St. Gabriel
At the 10:30 AM Mass last weekend, they celebrated the founding of the Boy Scouts of America (founded February 8, 1910) at the annual "Scout Sunday" Mass.
St. Gabriel's offers a Scout program for youth ages 6—17. You do not need to be a Parish member or attend St. Gabriel School to belong to the St. Gabriel Scouting program.

Cub Scouting is available for youth in 1st -5th grade. Cub Scout "Pack" meetings are held once a month, and there is generally a Pack activity once a month as well. Cub Scouts conduct a campout on the nearby Daniel Boone Conservation League grounds in early June, and participate in activities at Camp Long Lake. On a worldly level, in 2022 the Cub Scouts packaged & shipped 41 care packages to WI Army National Guard troops deployed in Djibouti, Africa.
-
The Boy Scout program is available to youth ages 11-17. The program achieves the Boy Scouts of America objectives of developing character, citizenship, personal fitness, and fun! Activities include camping, hiking trips, whitewater rafting, biking trips, and participation in service projects. Boy Scout Troop 139 attends Summer Camp annually at various Scout Camp locations throughout the state, most recently Camp Long Lake east of Fond du Lac, and Camp Tesomas near Rhinelander. With the generous support from St. Gabriel Parish members and local businesses, we were able to purchase a new Troop trailer and trailer graphics in spring 2022!
We welcome all youth to join Scouting at St. Gabriel's. Please get in touch with one of our Scout leaders to find out when the next Scout meeting will be or for more information.
Contact Pack Cubmaster, Collin McChesney at [email protected] or Troop Assistant Scoutmaster, Chad Gettleman at [email protected].
Thank you.
