I wanted to send this message to you and your school as a big congratulations on your team’s performance today. As a parent of an Ascension player, I was worried when I saw only five players from Mother Brunner at today’s game. I was afraid that the game would be forfeited, I was afraid that the game wouldn’t be fair if it was played, I was afraid that the kids from Mother Brunner would be disheartened if the match was a blowout due to the uneven number of players. None of these things happened. It was a great athletic competition. I was very impressed with how confident and calm the Mother Brunner players were with all the odds against them. It’s hard enough to be down a player, and then we found out they had to give up a point at every rotation. They didn’t seem to be affected. They stood strong, played hard, and never complained. And they did very well! The matches were close! Good game Mother Brunner, and good coaching, parenting, and teaching are clear and evident. As a parent and coach of youth Athletics I can say that your school and students are being well represented by this team. Thank you for the match today, good luck for the season. I hope you can share this with the girls, they played great.

Students made comic books in art class. They created storyboards and learned about colorful graphics and themes that go into telling an animated comic book story.
It's pajama day at Mother Maria Anna Brunner School! So grab a hot cocoa and start learning! Today is also Teacher Appreciation Day. Teachers were gifted with a delicious lunch and a small gift to show our gratitude for all that they do for our students. They are so deserving! Feel free to send a card, message, or something to show appreciation.
Tuesday is favorite team day. One of our favorite teams is our basketball team and cheerleading team. Congratulations to the Mother Brunner Boys Basketball Team, who played in the CYO Championship Division II game on Saturday, January 21. They lost by 1 point to Incarnation School in overtime, but we want to honor them for a job well done for the season! Go Bulldogs!

Miss Hunter's preschool class made a keepsake snowman. The snowmen are prepared by Miss Hunter's father and they are measured to be the same height as the student. The snowman comes with a poem attached:
"Lean this snowman against a wall to remind you when I was this small.
Fingerprints made the mouth and eyes. This snowman is just my size! So take him out each winter and see, I'm not as little as I used to be"!
