First Quarter Ends: Student Service Day

At the close of the 1st. quarter, the students at St. Ambrose Academy will have an opportunity to participate in a service day in order to take our Gospel call to service and our love of Christ out into the community. On Friday, October 20, 2023 groups of students will be out in the Madison area working at crisis pregnancy centers, stocking food pantries, or just raking the lawn for retired religious. This is a required school-day activity for all of the students – please do not opt out unless it is a previously planned absence. Please complete the following form to give your student(s) permission to be taken off campus in the vehicle of a SAA staff member or parent.

Students will meet at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church (5405 Flad Ave. Madison, WI 53711) from 7:30am and NO later than 8am to attend 8:00am Mass.
Pick up time will be at 3:15pm at St. Maria Goretti.

Please consider chaperoning, we need a lot of volunteer parents. Please indicate on the bottom of this form or go to the SAA sign-up genius. Thank you!
