Notre Dame of De Pere Catholic School’s Outstanding Volunteer

Alisa Conway is a Notre Dame of De Pere Alumnus and longtime parent volunteer extraordinaire. Alisa has taken on numerous volunteer leadership roles in school including Site Advisory Chair, Building Planning Committee, School Vision Committee, fundraising, and coaching. Alisa spearheads the school book fairs and the Battle of the Books at both the elementary and middle school levels even after her children graduated. Last school year, Alisa coordinated a GRACE-wide Battle of the Books to encourage literacy and friendly inner-system collaboration.

Not only is she an asset to our school community, but she is also an advocate for Catholic education and GRACE. She dreams big and follows through to lay the foundation while bringing out the best in those around her.

One of principal Mares’ favorite examples of Alisa’s dedication to our school occurred in Spring 2019. Alisa was dressed professionally after helping with an important media event announcing the new building project, Mrs. Mares recounted, and immediately after went to coach her older daughter’s middle school track practice. Picture Alisa in heels and a dress, holding her then-toddler daughter, all while positively directing a group of middle school runners!

Alisa is a volunteer powerhouse and a great role model, especially for our female students. Somehow Alisa manages to “do it all” usually with a smile on her face. Alisa is a blessing to the Notre Dame of De Pere family.
