Extra extra read all about it! Father Allouez students perform The Newsies!

The Father Allouez students had an amazing performance of The Newsies this month. The Newsies is based on a real strike in July of 1899 that lasted two weeks. 

Mrs. Gracer, Mr. Block, and a cast of 53 students worked together for weeks to put on an amazing show!  Mrs. Grace said “My favorite part of working on the musical was how excited the students got about rehearsal and practicing their songs.” Many parents enjoyed all the rehearsing at home and could be found singing along too!  

The Newsies was a great learning experience for the students, not only from a theatrical standpoint, but from a historical standpoint too.  

Fun fact:  The real-life newsie Kid Blink was the inspiration for the musical’s lead, Jack Kelly. Jack’s right-hand man, Davey, is based on real-life union president David Simmons, while Katherine Plumber is named for Joseph Pulitzer’s daughter.

You can see many amazing photos from performance night and some from rehearsal too!

Building Bridges: Nurturing High School Readiness in Middle School

We often marvel at the rapid growth and development of our children as they transition from elementary to high school. Yet,  in the heart of this journey lies a crucial stepping stone: middle school.Middle school serves as a bridge that connects the foundations laid in elementary school to the challenges and opportunities awaiting in high school. At Father Allouez Catholic School (FACS), we understand the significance of this bridge and are committed to preparing our students for the journey ahead, academically, socially, and spiritually.

Academic Rigor: A Foundation for Success

At FACS Middle School, our curriculum is carefully designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to thrive in high school and beyond. Every subject, from mathematics to language arts, is taught with a focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. We are passionate about challenging students to reach their full potential and providing the support they need to succeed. Whether it’s through differentiated instruction, one-on-one coaching, or various honors math and advanced ELA classes, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to excel.

Spiritual Growth: Cultivating Values and Morals

At FACS Middle School, we recognize the importance of spiritual development in shaping well-rounded individuals with a strong sense of purpose and morality. Our faith-based approach to education permeates every aspect of school life, from daily prayer and mass to service-learning projects. Through the teachings of love, compassion, and service, we instill in our students a deep appreciation for the worth of every human being.

Wednesday Electives: Exploring Passion and Potential

In addition to our comprehensive academic program, FACS Middle School offers a wide range of Wednesday electives designed to ignite students’ interests and talents. From cooking and broadcasting to band, art, travel, career exploration, and robotics, there’s something for everyone to explore and enjoy. These enriching experiences not only complement our core curriculum but also provide students with valuable opportunities to discover their passions, develop new skills, and cultivate a sense of creativity and curiosity that will serve them well in high school and beyond.

The seasons of six GRACE girls and boys basketball teams culminated in a trip to St. Norbert College on Friday, January 19. The nearly three-month seasons, filled with ups and downs, fun, and lasting memories, saw their finales played on a collegiate court. The opportunity to be announced before the game and to play on the home court of the Green Knights created a memorable experience. 

Special thanks needs to be given to St. Norbert College Athletics staff for hosting and providing a concessions stand, the League Director Ryan & each school’s Athletic Directors for all their time & effort planning, and the coaches & volunteers who gave their time and talents on Friday.

GRACE Athletics has the unique opportunity to play sporting events at St. Norbert College through the CatholicLink partnership. Collaborations with the college offer many invaluable experiences for GRACE students and more opportunities like this will be made available in the future.

3k and 4k Preschool options at Father Allouez Catholic School 

In the preschool program at Father Allouez Catholic School, we provide both 3k and 4k programs.  In each program we foster the growth of social and cognitive development, faith development, emergent literacy, motor development and more. Our preschool program also focuses on environmental awareness, helping students acquire an early love for nature with our nature based learning days. Age-appropriate faith integration occurs weekly, and, through the celebration of liturgical holidays. 

Your child’s first school experience in PK3: The PK3 curriculum is built off of play-based learning while exploring concepts such as: routines, social skills, following directions, fine and gross motor skills, name recognition and early math skills. 

Continuing their growth in PK4: The PK4 curriculum is also built off of play-based learning while building on concepts such as: routines, social skills, letter and number recognition, fine and gross motor skills, name recognition, and other kindergarten readiness skills. 

Nature Based Learning Days: 4k students participate in our weekly nature-based morning, partnered with The Issac Walton League at Osprey Point. This has been a student favorite for many years. These days offer opportunities for children to connect with nature while developing children’s individual skills, abilities and interests. Spending time in nature improves children’s academic performance, focus, behavior and love of learning. 3k students will participate regularly. 

We offer flexible enrollment options.
