One family from Holy Angels School had a special reason to mark the opening of the new school year. The entire Bill and Tammy Waech family accompanied their youngest sibling as he entered the new K5 classroom.
The truly remarkable aspect of the gathering was that all seven Waech children will have experienced the joy of having Mrs. Kris Matthews as their K5 teacher!
Mrs. Matthews started with Holy Angels in 1991. She is one of many teachers who have dedicated a lifetime of service to the learning faith community at Holy Angels School.
William Waech (pronounced Wake) was the first student in his family to attend Holy Angels in 1996. He graduated in 2005.
“What we have here at Holy Angels is a strong commitment on the part of our families and this is the extreme evidence of that,” said Principal Mike Sternig. “Like most of our faculty, Kris, has made a lifetime commitment and we see that throughout our grades in our building.”
The first day of school for grades K5 – 8 is Tuesday, Aug. 30. Students in K4 start Wednesday, Aug. 31.
