St. Viator Parish School
Viator Voice: February 1, 2021
As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints. Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Finally, service is fundamental to Catholic education and the core of Catholic discipleship. Service is intended to help form people who are not only witnesses to Catholic social teaching, but also active participants through social learning.
The CSW logo emphasizes that the Catholic school, like the Catholic Church, is not a building or an institution, but it is the people. As the people of God, we work together to bring the Kingdom of God to Earth and raise up the next generation to do the same. The image of teachers and students forming the foundation of the school shows that they are active people of faith who serve others and God. May we all strive to live in active service of Jesus and his mission as we nationally join together during Catholic Schools Week and always.
We are very blessed at St. Viator Parish School by the many people who advance our mission. May our building continue to be a home for those who seek to grow in faith, knowledge, and service of others. May our community always support one another and exhibit hospitality to newcomers. May HE fill our minds with knowledge and wisdom. May our understanding of the world help us to grow in appreciation for it.
May God continue to bless you abundantly for all that you do for HIS children!
Happy Catholic Schools Week!
Mrs. Tracy Brunelle

SVS Sensory Space for MICAH Students
Eagle Scout Project
At the beginning of the school year, we were approached by William M., SVS Class of 2020 with an Eagle Scout Project idea! He had researched and presented his idea of a sensory space at St. Viator to support the MICAH students. Sensory rooms are spaces dedicated to sensory experiences designed specifically to help individuals to feel calm, supported, and focused.
He worked with Boy Scout council who approved the project and he received donations for the space. This past weekend, he and his family constructed the space.
Our Micah students are over the moon excited with their new space! Thank you, William!
