Dear Parents and Guardians:

Catholic Schools Week 2023: We will begin with the mass and kick off dance next Saturday, Jan. 28! I am still looking for some volunteers to help with readings at that mass( a reminder for your child to attend the dance, they need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian…it is not a drop them off and pick them up later). Please remember to RSVP for the event, as well as permission to watch the film, Moana on Friday, Feb. 3.

School Musical: There is information for our 4-5-6 graders to be part of our first school musical! Ms. Blanc and Mrs. Southerland will be directing and organizing this after school event. I encourage all of our students to be part of this first of a kind event!

Parent Teacher Conferences: Our winter conferences will be held on Thursday, Feb. 9 and Monday, Feb. 13 for students in grades 4K-5th grade. 6th grade conferences will be held at a later date. Below are the links to sign up for your conference. NOTE There will only be one date for 3rd Grade conferences as Mrs. Caldwell will be out of town. If you are unable to make that Thursday time, please reach out to Mrs. Caldwell and let her know of a time to reschedule. Thank you.

Foley Family Scrip Card Donations: Kristina and James Foley, who recently attended and graduated from St. Victor School, are in need of our help. Their mom, Sabrina Foley, passed away in December. The parish and school are seeking donations of Scrip cards for our former students and parish members. Gift cards from WalMart, Target, or Amazon, or cash donations are needed. To donate, send gift cards or money to St. Victor School or St. Clare of Assisi Parish (checks should be made out to St. Victor School) by February 3. Please write “Foley Family” on your check or envelope. Donations may also be placed in the weekend parish collection basket. James (freshman) and Kristina (junior) have moved from Monroe to live with their aunt in Iowa. Please keep the Foley family in your prayers.

Thank you so much for your support of St. Victor School! If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at school, (608)325-3395 or email (joepeters@stvictormonroe.org).

God Bless,

Joe Peters
