JEFFERSON — “Let Peace Begin With Me” is a song with a powerful message of personal responsibility in planting and nurturing the seeds of peace in one’s own world.
The fifth and sixth grade classes at St. John the Baptist Catholic School in Jefferson, under the guidance of school counselor, Mrs. Joanna Becker, embraced the idea of working towards world peace by bringing it closer to home.
Mrs. Becker introduced the “Peace Project” by sharing the true story of a young Japanese girl, Sadako Sasaki, who was an innocent victim of war as she suffered the effects of deadly radiation after the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. She was only two years old on the day of the bombing and died 10 years later as a result of leukemia.
SPRING GREEN — “We are truly a family here at St. John’s School” is proclaimed on the website for St. John the Evangelist School in Spring Green (www.stjohns-springgreen.org)
The average class size is less than 15, which allows the teachers to know every student as an individual and to respect each for his or her own individual talents and gifts.
“Singing the Mass: A Master Class” is the topic of a St. Ambrose Faculty Lecture to be given by Aristotle A. Esguerra on Tuesday, March 18, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Mary Pine Bluff Church, followed by an English Sung Mass with Msgr. James Bartylla, vicar general of the Diocese of Madison, presiding.

BERLIN — The grandparents of students visited All Saints School in Berlin on October 30 for the morning. The day together began with Mass prepared by students from all grades. Grandparents and students then toured the classrooms and enjoyed a delicious lunch.
They also made ornaments for the All Saints Christmas tree in Nathan Strong Park. The grandparents enjoyed seeing what is going on at school and their grandchildren had fun showing off their classrooms and schoolwork.
JEFFERSON — First graders at St. John the Baptist School in Jefferson recently helped to raise funds to help the victims of the devastating spring tornadoes in Oklahoma.
The 20 students in Lisa Kotz’s class were very concerned with the people who were injured, lost their homes, or had to deal with the tragic deaths of family and friends.
Adding to their daily prayers, the first graders decided that they had a responsibility to be the “hands and feet of Christ” in reaching out to their brothers and sisters in need.
