This past spring, Mrs. VandenBush’s 3rd Grade class worked together to uncover the plants in our school garden from the fall. Almost all the perennial flowers in the cross-shaped garden beds survived the winter. The students planted tomatoes, sweet corn, celery, potatoes (huckleberry purple and baby reds), beans, and lettuce. Now with Summer here, the strawberry garden bed is looking great, with many juicy red strawberries appearing!

After weeks of enjoying the special camaraderie of training after school, our Father Allouez Catholic School students, along with parents and siblings, experienced the fruits of completing the 2025 Bellin Run, which is annually dedicated to collective community health.

We are grateful to the very dedicated teachers and school parents who encourage, coach, and mentor our students in this wonderful experience of training and completing the run!

Summer hours commence on Monday, June 9, and will be active until August 15. Please see them in detail for our school, the others, and GRACE Riverside* here.

* All GRACE Schools and Riverside Office closed Monday, June 30 – Friday, July 4.

Our annual Friendship Mass, hosted by our 7th Graders, celebrated the countless blessings of our CLASS of 2025. The entire student body and families of our 8th Graders were present.

Following Mass, our Principal, Mr. Dempsey presented each 8th Grader with a Chaplet Rosary from Our Lady of Champion Shrine, and then spoke of the special Gifts of the Holy Spirit that each student embodies. Every 8th Grader has a staff person who specifically prayed for them throughout this year. Their ‘prayer partner’ was also present to personally congratulate them.

Seventh Grade parents hosted a delicious brunch for the 8th Graders and loved ones following Mass. What a very special group of people – and special part of Father Allouez Catholic School’s story – this class has been!

For six decades Mary Donarski has been doing good things at St. Matthew Parish – and we at Father Allouez Catholic School are especially grateful that for 56 of THOSE YEARS, she has devoted herself to our School Library!

Mary has planted the seeds of a love for reading in THREE generations of Father Allouez students! Her tireless dedication and spunky presence have been a great gift to countless colleagues and a legion of volunteers.

With her retirement as our School Librarian approaching, we surprised Mary recently with an All-School Mass, a special tribute and gifts, and a reception in our wonderful school library, which was rededicated as the Mary Donarski Library! Thank you, Mrs. Donarski: what a treasure you are!

We at Father Allouez Catholic School are proud of the great dedication of our faculty and staff. They are devoted to teaching to our students’ minds, hearts, and souls with creativity, passion, and grace. They put their whole selves into giving our students great foundations in faith and academics. It is reflected in the students’ growth each year, and in the culture of our school!

Today we are putting a spotlight on our outstanding Food Service Manager, Melissa Wiedenhaft!

Thank you, Melissa!
