March was a month filled with melody as we celebrated Music in Our Schools Month at Holy Family Catholic School. Music is an essential part of a well-rounded education, and we are incredibly grateful for our dedicated music educators, Mrs. Aria Heim and Ms. Sarah Hanna. 

Mrs. Heim hosted a music bracket challenge inspired by March Madness. Teachers played short clips of various songs and students cast their votes daily for their favorite piece. The winner was Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake – Dance of the Little Swans from the Romantic Period.

Students celebrated music with special dress-up days including Country Music Day, A Day at the Opera, and Sing a Rainbow Day dedicated to musicals like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Music has the power to bring people together, and this month-long celebration was a testament to the joy it brings to our students and staff alike. Thank you to Mrs. Heim, Ms. Hanna, and all the teachers and students who made Music in Our Schools Month a resounding success.

On Tuesday, February 4, the Greater Green Bay community gathered to honor Mrs. Shawna Fischer, a dedicated fourth-grade teacher at Holy Family Catholic School, as she was surprised in her classroom with a Golden Apple Award.

Accompanied by Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) President Kim Desotell and Holy Family Principal Sarah Sharkey, representatives from the Greater Green Bay Chamber, WLUK-TV FOX 11, and the Green Bay Press Times joined in presenting this distinguished honor. The Golden Apple Award recognizes excellence in teaching and is a testament to Mrs. Fischer’s unwavering dedication to her students and her passion for Catholic education.

“Mrs. Fischer’s influence extends far beyond the classroom,” said Kim Desotell. “She not only fosters academic success but also nurtures the spiritual growth of her students, inspiring them to strive for holiness and a lifelong love of learning.”

Through her compassion, enthusiasm, and commitment, Mrs. Fischer has left an indelible mark on the lives of her students, colleagues, and the entire Holy Family Catholic School community. This well-deserved recognition celebrates the countless hours she has dedicated to shaping young minds and fostering curiosity, growth, and success.

GRACE is excited to recognize another Outstanding Volunteer, Sr. Mariadele. St. Mariadele was presented with this award at a Mass on January 30th.

Each day, Sr. Mariadele dedicates her time and talents to supporting students at Holy Family Catholic School in countless ways. She works one-on-one and in small groups with students who need extra academic support, patiently guiding them through challenges and celebrating their successes. In preschool, she lovingly assists during lunch, helping our youngest learners develop independence while ensuring they feel cared for and encouraged. As a co-teacher in Religion, she brings depth and wisdom to the classroom, enriching students’ understanding of their faith and inspiring thoughtful discussions. Beyond these roles, she is a living example of vocational life, modeling a deep commitment to God’s call and inspiring students to explore how they, too, are called to serve.

We are incredibly blessed to have Sr. Mariadele as part of our GRACE family. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering commitment to our mission enrich the lives of students and staff alike. Her work is not just a volunteer effort — it is a ministry of love, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
