This week, students from across the GRACE system gathered for their second annual GRACE Band Day, a special opportunity for young musicians to collaborate, learn, and perform together. Throughout the day, students participated in rehearsals and ensemble work before presenting a concert featuring both 7th- and 8th-grade bands, along with a small string ensemble.

We were honored to welcome several talented guest directors who shared their expertise and encouragement with our students. Dr. Michael Knight from UW-Green Bay directed the 7th-grade band, while Dr. Phil Klickman from St. Norbert College led the 8th-grade ensemble. Our string musicians had the opportunity to work with Dr. Taylor Giorgio of St. Norbert College and Mrs. Brenda Winkler from St. Bernard Catholic School.

Events like GRACE Band Day highlight the importance of music education and the value of collaboration between schools throughout the GRACE system. 

At St. Thomas More Catholic School (STM), we are grateful for the growing opportunities available to our students in band, strings, and guitar instruction, and we are proud of the dedication and hard work our young musicians continue to demonstrate.

Thank you to our guest directors, music educators, especially Ms. Sarah Hanna, our STM Band teacher, and students for making this event such a wonderful success!

All are welcome to attend the Passing of the Light Mass on Wednesday, May 27, at St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church at 8:30 a.m.

This meaningful tradition takes place as our Grade 8 students pass the candle, symbolizing the Light of Christ, to the Grade 7 class. Through this special ceremony, the incoming 8th graders are recognized as the future leaders of our student body and entrusted with the responsibility to lead with faith, wisdom, and service.

As a school community, we pray that God will guide and strengthen them throughout the coming school year and always.

We invite all families and parishioners to join us in celebrating this beautiful St. Thomas More tradition.

Pilgrims from across the country and around the world traveled to Wisconsin for the Walk to Mary. Journeying to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion. Our middle school students were blessed to be part of this special day, hosting a booth at the 7-mile mark in the parking lot of Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Parish.
There, they gave away 1,000 free, limited-edition Our Lady of Champion Halo trading cards to the first pilgrims who stopped by. It was a joy to see our students share their project, Halo, the first bilingual Catholic trading cards, and connect with so many visitors along the way.

We hope and pray that all who made the pilgrimage had a blessed visit to the Shrine. May Our Lady of Champion continue to guide and intercede for each of them.

Our Lady of Champion, pray for us!

The season of Lent is a sacred and meaningful time at St. Thomas More School. As a Catholic school community, we embrace these forty days as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and grow closer to God. Lent invites us to focus on prayer, sacrifice, and service — and throughout this season, our students and staff intentionally live out these pillars in faith-filled and age-appropriate ways.

We began our Lenten journey with a special all-school assembly centered on prayer and reflection. Students helped lead the assembly, reminding us that Lent is not simply about “giving something up,” but about making room in our hearts for God. A highlight of the gathering was a student-led sketch about temptation, which thoughtfully portrayed the everyday choices we face. Through their performance, students demonstrated how turning to God for guidance and strength helps us make choices rooted in faith and virtue.

Throughout Lent, our classrooms take on a reflective tone. Teachers guide students in conversations about the meaning of the season, encouraging them to think about how they can grow spiritually and serve others more intentionally. Students set personal Lenten goals, participate in prayer services, and spend time reflecting on Scripture. As a school community, we also look for opportunities to practice almsgiving through service projects that support those in need.

Lent at St. Thomas More is a time of unity. Whether gathered in prayer, serving others, or encouraging one another in our commitments, we walk this journey together. It is a season that strengthens our faith, deepens our compassion, and prepares our hearts for the joy of Easter.

We are grateful for the opportunity to nurture not only academic excellence but also spiritual growth. May this Lenten season continue to be one of renewal and grace for our entire St. Thomas More family.
