Celebrating a Legacy: Mrs. Cramer Announces Retirement 

It is with joy (and a touch of bittersweetness) that we announce the retirement of Mrs. Jacky Cramer, after an incredible 54 years of dedicated service to the Notre Dame of De Pere Catholic School community.

Throughout Mrs. Cramer’s tenure, she has been a pillar of wisdom, compassion, and inspiration for countless students. Her unwavering commitment to faith, academic excellence, and personal growth has left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who have had the privilege of learning and working alongside her.

Mrs. Cramer has embodied the values of our Catholic faith, instilling in each student a deep sense of compassion, integrity, and faithfulness. Her passion for teaching, combined with her genuine care for every student, has created an environment where learning flourishes and lives are transformed.

We invite friends, family, and previous students to join us in celebrating Mrs. Cramer’s remarkable career and expressing our heartfelt appreciation for her unwavering dedication. Please join us for a special retirement school mass on May 15, 2024, at 8:30 in the school gym. Light refreshments and time to visit with Mrs. Cramer will follow for guests in the cafeteria.

Please share this invitation widely in honor and celebration of Mrs. Cramer.  All are invited to share pictures of memories with Mrs. Cramer for a slide show. Pictures can be emailed to nddp-communications@gracesystem.org

Student Spotlight

Today we’d like to highlight an outstanding student in the GRACE community, this time from Notre Dame of De Pere Catholic School!

Joel is truly the nicest student you will ever meet. He greets everyone with a warm smile and goes out of his way to help our younger students. When Joel attended our aftercare program, he would make sure the youngest students were included in the bigger kids’ games of basketball and that everyone was fun and safe while doing so.

Fourth Graders Visit the Capital!

The fourth grade took their annual trip to visit the state capital! They learned all about the history of the building, the branches of government, and the type of work that happens there every day. A special thanks to Senator Jacque and his staff for making our day special.
