The SJB Booster Club works tirelessly to support our athletic and physical education programs. Burnt-out lights in the gymnasium presented a challenge due to their age and the availability of resources to replace them. Therefore, our Boosters generously upgraded to LED lighting instead! You can see the difference between the photos- The photo with students is before and the photo with mats is after LED installation! Thank you Booster Club!

Looking forward: The Booster Club is working towards replacing our aging gymnasium floor. If you wish to inquire or donate, please message this page and we will happily direct you to the club contact! Thank you!

Join us in thanking Principal Vance for her commitment to Catholic Education!

Let’s learn a little bit abouther:

Q: Ms. Vance, why do you choose to work for GRACE/St. John the Baptist School?

A: I believe in the mission of GRACE! I enjoy helping our students to become who God made them to be and I am thankful for the opportunity to support the education of the whole child! It is truly a blessing! That’s the beauty of Catholic schools, we are allowed and encouraged to care about all of the pieces, not just the academic ones.

Q: What are some fun facts about you?

A: I didn’t learn to swim until I was in my 40s! And, even though I am from Chicago and lived down the block from Wrigley Field, I have never gone to a Cubs game! (Or a Bears game!)

The seasons of six GRACE girls and boys basketball teams culminated in a trip to St. Norbert College on Friday, January 19. The nearly three-month seasons, filled with ups and downs, fun, and lasting memories, saw their finales played on a collegiate court. The opportunity to be announced before the game and to play on the home court of the Green Knights created a memorable experience. 

Special thanks needs to be given to St. Norbert College Athletics staff for hosting and providing a concessions stand, the League Director Ryan & each school’s Athletic Directors for all their time & effort planning, and the coaches & volunteers who gave their time and talents on Friday.

GRACE Athletics has the unique opportunity to play sporting events at St. Norbert College through the CatholicLink partnership. Collaborations with the college offer many invaluable experiences for GRACE students and more opportunities like this will be made available in the future.

Please join us for an engaging and informative presentation on “Raising Resilient and Self-Reliant Children” with International Formation and Education Consultant, Sister Pat McCormack, IHM, EDD.

A self-reliant, resilient character is the by-product of daily life practices that nurture security, autonomy, initiative, and industry. When parents apply these practices with consistency, repetition, and continuity, positive identity formation takes root in the child. Over time resilience, self-reliance, and positive self-esteem evolve as byproducts.

This presentation will “unpack” these elements and communicate practical advice, gathered from parents of children in grades K-12 who were recognized for positive self-esteem and character.

This adult event is free of charge and will take place on Monday, January 15, at 6 p.m. at the St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in the Cathedral Center. The Center is located in the main Church building. Parking in the lot will be available. When you enter, please proceed up the stairs or elevator and the center is straight across. Wine and cheese will be served. All are welcome!
