Fifth-graders at St. Matthew School in Oak Creek are learning lesson after lesson in caring for others and in what it means to be part of a community.
Students are "O Ambassadors," an affiliate of Oprah's Angel Network and Free the Children. They learn about the needs of children in East Asia, and host bake sales to raise money for those children's school supplies. Since they joined the ambassador program three years ago, they have contributed $2,400 to that cause!
The Oak Creek firefighters and police officers know St. Matthew students well, as they receive monthly letters of prayer and support from the fifth-graders. They also write monthly letters and cards to members of the 128th Air Refueling Wing, the Zablocki Medical Center for Veterans and overseas Armed Forces groups.
For 22 years, students have participated in the intergenerational program at South Milwaukee's Franciscan Villa Care Center. Students are paired up with residents and play games, do excercises, make crafts, hold dances and prayer services and enjoy each other's company.
These busy fifth-graders also find time to make scarves for the homeless and visitors of the Salvation Army, Casa Maria and Sojourner Truth House. In their own St. Matthew community, they serve lunch to the school and lead dismissal of grade school students daily.
St. Matthew's community awareness is just one example of the excellence of Catholic schools throughout the archdiocese.
