Dear Parents,



The students that placed in Math and Spelling at each grade level advanced to the Diocesan Competition on Saturday March 16th.  Dominik also placed at this level of the competition which allowed him to participate at the state level. At the State level there were 2 students from each Diocese competing and Dominik took second place for grade 5. Way to go Dominik, we are so proud of you!

Special Person Day  

May 10th at the St. Matthew Campus


At the St. Matthew Campus (PreK - grade 4) of Father Allouez Catholic School, one of our favorite days of the year is Special Person Day. This is the day when we gather together to give thanks for the special people in our lives, who help us to be our best selves, and who work with us to make the world a place full of God's love.


As is tradition, students are invited to bring one or two “special people” - a grandparent, other relative, parent or a family friend to join us for the morning of May 10th from 8:30 (Mass) until 11:15 when we have an early dismissal. Students may go home with their special person if you indicate that on the google form registration. All the students in a family can participate in the activities together with their family's special person or people.


Parents, please complete the google form linked here to inform us who your family’s special person or people will be and if they are to leave with them at 11:15.

The St. Matt's Kids Running program will be starting on Monday, April 29th! This program emphasizes fun and fitness and prepares students to run the Bellin 5K Race (the 5K was just added last year and is the same time/day as the longstanding Bellin 10K) which will be held on Saturday June 8th.  


This is a free program and all St. Matt's students K-4 are welcome, but students younger than 2nd grade need a parent/adult volunteer to run with them for safety purposes. We will be practicing twice a week after school at St. Matt's (we will run outside) starting on Monday, April 29th. Practice dates are as follows: April 29 ; May 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 22, 28 and 30 and June 4 and 6. These practices will take 30-60 minutes depending on the length of the run. Pickup times will be noted on the practice schedule that will be given out to those who sign up.  We are greatly in need of adult helpers! You don't need to run to help!  Help needed includes directing/cheering on students on the route and making sure they are safe, handing out water, and helping with snacks.  To sign your child up or if you have questions, please contact Carrie Miller at 920-309-2444 or carrielmiller99@gmail.com.
