This week only – SAA is hosting a Hygiene Drive! On behalf of St. Vincent de Paul, we’re collecting the following items: Deodorant, Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Shampoo, Conditioner, Bodywash, Bar soap, and Liquid hand soap. Students should drop off items in their House bins at the front of the school. We are also collecting feminine products, which can be dropped off with Ms. Myers or Ms. Behrens.

On Service Day this Friday, all collected items will be donated to St. Vincent de Paul for those in need in our area. Hygiene products aren’t often donated to pantries, but they are equally important to providing a sense of security to low-income individuals and families. All products must be new and sealed, but both individual and bulk items (as well as various sizes) will be accepted.

Given by Dr. John Joy, St. Ambrose Academy Dean of Faculty and Religion teacher:

St. John the Evangelist is symbolized by the eagle because of the soaring heights of contemplation revealed in his writings. The Gospel of John is full of depth and symbolizing revolving around the number seven, which signifies completion or perfection. The opening chapters parallel the seven days of creation in Genesis; there are seven feast days and seven miracles, culminating in the ultimate miracle of the Resurrection and the new feast of Easter. Come and experience the joy of entering more deeply into the Mystical Gospel.

Given by Dr. Geoffrey Ludvik, St. Ambrose Academy History teacher:

The Dark Ages are often considered a low point in the history of European civilization but this view doesn’t take into account historical evidence, especially from the Middle East. This talk will focus on the achievements of civilization following the collapse of Rome, centered in the Eastern Mediterranean with a focus will be on the Byzantine world and Islamic Civilization. We will be discussing this topic using archaeological sites at which Dr. Ludvik has worked.

Given by Ms. Katie Behrens, St. Ambrose Academy English teacher:

Join Ms. Katie Behrens for a talk on objective and subjective qualities in many art forms, the purpose of learning more about the forms, and the training of one’s taste. There may or may not be a discussion of pro-wrestling involved. (You heard us!)

At the close of the 3rd 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, March 3rd, 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 permission slip to give your student permission to be taken off campus in the vehicle of a SAA staff member or parent.

Students will meet at the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish at 8:00am and will attend 8:30am Mass.

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

Students can wear their work day clothes for Mass, but should comply with SAA dress code policy. They should bring a bag lunch unless directed otherwise. Also bring a water bottle, work gloves, clothing/shoes that can get dirty. Please dress for the weather.
