The Brief Viau

January 29th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

This Catholic Schools Week was full of Faith, Fun, and Family!  We kicked it off with an amazing K9 Unit Demonstration from the Escanaba Public Safety K9 Team and four of their K9 Officers as we celebrated our Community.  On Tuesday the students dressed up as their favorite Staff member and it was really neat to see their creativity as there were many smiles while we celebrated Staff/Faculty.  Wednesday we celebrated Nations by wearing red, white, and blue, and raised $1,743.93 at Entrepreneur Day!  Thursday we celebrated Vocations with a beautiful Mass from Father Tim, Father Rob, Deacon Bob, and Seminarian Ethan, and the students gave them care packages that they put together.  We also enjoyed an amazing Worship Concert.  Today it’s all about the students as they enjoy a N.U.T. Day and show off their skills at the Talent Show.  Tomorrow we will wrap up the week celebrating Families at Movie Night in the Multi with pajamas and popcorn.

If you haven’t taken advantage of the $25 registration fee for the 26-27 school year, be sure to do so soon!  The offer is only available during Catholic Schools Week for our current families only.  Don’t forget that we have a uniform donation closet that you’re welcome to shop from if you’re in need of uniforms!  If you would like to make a donation of uniforms that don’t fit anymore, or if you would like to purchase pieces of clothing for $1 donation, please stop by the Grade School office and Mrs. LaMarche or Mrs. Lynch will help you out.

Thank you for all of your support during this very special Catholic Schools Week!

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

What a week it’s been here! We finally got a full week of school in and it sure felt good to get back into a routine.  It’s been exciting to see the enrollments come through for some of our current students this week! If you haven’t yet, please take advantage of the lower enrollment fee for current students just this week! It’ll go up next week and the weeks after so lets get those registrations in soon!  It’s hard to believe, but planning for next year has already begun and getting our enrollment numbers in will help us continue to plan. Open enrollment begins next week so please share with your friends about all of the great things that happen in our school. Shadow Days are also available at the high school; I’d be happy to meet with interested students or parents. Please just pass my information along.

Catholic Schools Week went well. The High School students took part in the dress up days and helped out with Entrepreneur day at the elementary school. The worship concert on Thursday was amazing, too! It was great to be together as a whole school for these events.

What a blessing it is for us all to be part of a wonderful school family. Our school is rooted in Jesus Christ and there is truly nothing more important than that!

Have a fantastic weekend!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau
