St. Viator Parish School
Viator Voice: January 27, 2020
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
Learn
- We enjoy a quality Catholic Education and students exceed St. Viator's high academic expectations.
- We make learning more engaging and relevant to our young students.
- We were amazed this afternoon by the many SVS Science Fair projects on Friday and look forward to Mrs. Woods announcing the winners on Monday.
- ...and so much more!
We are 100 days SMARTER!
SERVE
- We have already brought in donations for Fr. Joe, St. Therese Center, and Catholic Charities.
- We thank the hand bell choir for serving at Mass .
- We are bringing supplies for the Embracing Project.
- We prepare lunch for the homeless weekly.
- We share our time and talent in so many ways: scouting, clubs, sports, etc.
- We open our doors to our parents, grandparents, and volunteers on Friday with breakfast followed by open house.
- We will celebrate our Good Sams for January.
LEAD
- We are lectors, ushers, altar servers, & gift bearers at Mass weekly with our classmates and again with our families.
- We pray throughout our day: upon rising, as we start school, before and after meals, at the end of our school day, and as we lay our heads down to rest.
- We step up and support each other in good times and all times
We represented our Parish School very well at Mass today to kick off Catholic Schools Week!
SUCCEED
- Our students score well above the national percentile and lead the Diocese in achievement test data.
- Our students currently in high school often report that they feel exceptionally prepared. Even those who struggled to reach SVS high expectations are out performing peers.
- Students tested at BGHS have received acceptance letters. 74% of our 8th grade students are getting ready to register for their 9th grade classes.
- Our Grade Equivalents are perfectly on point, showing 8th grade levels and many students who are exceeding that.
- Overall averages are consistent with the larger group that tested overall at BGHS.
- As you can see, many of our students are helping to lead the pack.
We recognize that you have a choice and we are very blessed by YOU!

Why were these special students chosen? Here are a few examples:
This student is a lifelong learner (SLE 2 a, b,d) She has improved her reading and math skills tremendously through her hard work and dedication. She asks thought provoking questions that help her embellish the stories she has read. She finds enjoyment when learning new material
This student is new to St. Viator School this school year. It pleases me to witness how well he has adjusted to our curriculum, and has blossomed with his classmate and other friends on the playground. He is perfect example as what Jesus’ teachings represent in our Catholic faith. He is caring, kind, friendly, and is very well-mannered!
This student is a nice reflection of SLE 5A-Follows the Golden Rule, "Do onto others as you want them to do onto you”, this shows his family values in having this kind of respect and caring attitude for one another.
This student does a great job of modeling 1c by frequently altar serving anytime there is a need for school masses. She continually shows good choices and care for others.
This student continually demonstrates a spirit of service in Student Government, as well as in her daily interactions with classmates and teachers. Her love for learning is evident on a daily basis, and she is a very independent student. She is an excellent communicator who speaks and writes clearly. Respect for herself and others is obvious in her friendships and interactions with teachers and parents.
Parents, please join us Tuesday!
What could you do with $5,000?
