Volunteer

Volunteer Spotlight

GRACE is happy to share another Volunteer Spotlight!

Today, we are honored to recognize Mrs, Shelly Coyle as an outstanding volunteer. Shelly was presented with this award at a Mass on December 19th.

Shelly is a familiar and beloved face at St. John Paul II Classical School and Chesterton Academy of St. John Paul II Classical School. She is a mother of four, and her two youngest daughters attend Chesterton. As a part of the initial parent group that helped found the elementary and high school, Shelly has participated in many aspects of the school since – as a classroom teacher, office sub, and an outstanding volunteer for any and every role. No matter what needs may arise, Shelly is always willing to give of her time and talents–which are many!

Headmaster Patrick McKeown stated, “Mrs. Coyle is certainly a servant’s servant, providing her expertise and wisdom whenever asked as well as looking for ways to creatively be of use and purpose. She is an invaluable member of our school community!”

Thank you, Mrs. Coyle!

Basketball teams

Boys and Girls Basketball Team Update

This past weekend, our boys and girls basketball teams traveled to Washington Island, WI for a two-game series against Washington Island High School. The teams traveled via ferry to reach the island for their first games on Friday evening. After hard-fought games, the teams enjoyed a pizza dinner and a team-bonding experience at “The Rec.” After a good night’s rest, the team ate a homemade breakfast to fuel up before their final games on Saturday morning.

The boys dropped both of their games over the weekend, but the girls earned a split, including an 18-12 victory on Saturday for the program’s first-ever win. Special thanks to the Washington Island Schools Athletic Department for their hospitality and to the DeJardin Island Cottages for donating four cottages for our students to stay in on Friday night.

The Crusaders continue their first season in the WIAA with home games vs. St. Ignatius Chesterton Academy on Friday, January 10th. The girls play at 6 pm, followed by the boy’s game at 7 pm, both played at Notre Dame of De Pere. Go Crusaders! Click here for the full schedule.

Results:

Friday, January 3rd
Girls – Washington Island 20, Crusaders 13
Boys – Washington Island 49, Crusaders 25

Saturday, January 4th
Boys – Washington Island 55, Crusaders 32
Girls – Crusaders 18, Washington Island 12

An Inside look in the Atrium

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a distinct approach to the religious formation of the child. It takes place in the Atrium — where a child can fall in love with God.

Every year we are invited to slow down and ponder the great gift and mystery of the Incarnation during the seasons of Advent and Christmas. This time allows us to ask some of the great questions of humanity: “Who are you, Lord?” and “Who am I?” Click HERE to read more! If you would like to observe the children working in the Atrium, please contact Miss Johns, jjohns@gracesystem.org.
