Retreats

Students in the Middle School begin the school year with a retreat during the first month of school.  Grade six students begin with a Mass and then walk to Mount Mary College for a day of reflection lead by teacher facilitators.

Students in Grade 7 go to the Schoenstatt Center in Waukesha to spend the day on activities suited to their age or class theme.

In Grade 8 all students participate in the Ropes and Ladders Activities at Oconomowoc.  This is a day devoted to team building and trust.

On Holy Thursday, the entire student body participates in a time of reflection culminating with a prayer service.  Activities are planned according to grade level and include meditation and usually a craft project.  All faculty members help to facilitate the activities for the students.  Activities vary from year to year.
