42nd Annual

Emerald Auction March 14, 2015 Dear St. Robert School community and friends, So, are you ready for one BIG night?!

We are excited to bring a fun evening your way and are grateful to have been entrusted to help organize this important event. As the single largest fundraiser for St. Robert School, the auction raises money that’s essential to the school’s daily operation. Last year, the auction raised a record $150,000+. We’re excited to attempt matching that!

Of course, we actually did very “little” compared to the BIG work done by the hundreds of parents, teachers, students, staff, family, alumni, parishioners and friends of St. Robert who volunteer, donate, plan and work towards making this annual event such a highlight of the school year. We are grateful for your hard work.

We know you’ll be reviewing this book diligently to see what treasures will be there for bidding. A few event highlights to remember…

• The St. Robert’s Jazz Band will again be welcoming guests to the event. Be sure to give them your applause when you arrive.

• The Live Auction has a variety of new items this year. And once again, be sure to buy a Live Auction Raffle Ticket the night of the event. You just might be able to choose the Live Auction item of your dreams.

• The iChance raffle is sure to tantalize the technology fiends in all of us! Grand Prize Macbook Air 13-inch screen, 128 GB, Second Prize Ipad Air with Wi-Fi, 16GB, Third Prize Ipad Mini with Wi-Fi, 16GB. • Be sure to check out the wine pull – there are some amazing, $100 bottles of wine in there!

• New this year, you’ll have a chance to purchase a new chair for the gym. The School Advisory Board/Building & Grounds Committee will be onsite explaining the project.

Most importantly, be sure to save some energy to heat up the dance floor with The Boogie Men. Their grooves are infectious, so get ready.

We all agree, St. Robert School gives our children the best education and Life Smart skills for the future. We are truly blessed with this abundance and thank you for your contributions to the Emerald Auction.

We’ll see you at the event!

Your 2015 Emerald Auction Chairs, Betsy & Dave Wyatt and Rebecca Bortner & Chris Oberle

St. Robert School — 1915 to present

By Margaret Mathews Sankovitz ‘47

S

t. Robert School is 100 years old! The 100th anniversary of the first day of school is this coming September 15, 2015!

When the parish was founded and incorporated in 1912, the parishioners hope was to have a school. The first permanent building was built and opened as a church in the fall of 1913 with the intention of opening a school on the second floor of the building.

School (primarily Messmer - then a three year high school.) The last ninth grade class graduated in the spring of 1955 in anticipation of the four year Dominican High School opening in Whitefish Bay. By the middle 1950’s the school population had grown so that every classroom was crowded, with 45-50 students per class and some space in the basement being used for classrooms. The parish undertook an ambitious fund-raising effort in the fall of 1957 and by the fall of 1958 the north addition to the school was ready for use.

It provided for classrooms on the second floor and a gymnasium and stage on the ground level. The former gym was transformed into a multipurpose room and lunch room, a kitchen was built, and the former parish hall that also had a kitchen and small stage was reconfigured into smaller rooms for music, art, nurse’s office, etc.

In 1915, Fr. Farrel Patrick Reilly, founding pastor, invited the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa to staff the school and on September 15, 1915, Sr. Aloysius Reilly (no relation to Fr. Reilly) opened the doors to 43 children who were students in grades one through four. Sr. Aloysius was principal and grade teacher.

She was assisted by Sr. Lucillus Howard.

Each year a grade was added and in 1920 St. Robert School gradu- Father Farrel Patrick Reilly with school children in front of St. Robert Church/School, on Atwater Road (Capitol Drive) c. 1916. ated its first eighth grade class.

The school population grew rapidly and soon more space was needed for the burgeoning school enrollment. In 1927 an addition was built that added two floors of classrooms and provided for a gymnasium in the basement (now Reilly Hall) and a small library at the north end of the second floor (now the reading nook in the Media Center). By 1928 each of the eight grades had two classes.

In the ensuing years, space in the convent building was used for classrooms and in 1929 a small wooden building - The Annex - was erected on what is now the playground/parking lot north of the parish offices and rectory to accommodate some of the intermediate grades classes. That building was razed in the summer of 1939 after the present church was built and the former church space on the first floor of the school was available for classrooms.

In 1939 a ninth grade was begun. Students from the surrounding area came to St. Robert for ninth grade before continuing to High

U

In 1983, junior and senior kindergarten classes were established with one teacher teaching both levels in a first floor area formed by combining two classrooms.

Today, St. Robert School has the same physical footprint as it did in 1958 but the interior, although appearing the same, has been transformed into a 21st century school. There are world languages in the curriculum; there is an amazing media center; there are white boards (although the old blackboards and erasers are still available).

Each grade level studies science; involvement in music education and art is required for each grade level.

One of the most obvious changes in the school is the absence of the white-habited Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. The Sisters were the only religious order that taught in St. Robert School. The last Dominican at St. Robert was Sr. Dorothy Victor, O.P., who retired in 2002. During those years - 1915-2002 - over 250 sisters were assigned to St. Robert School. Eleven sisters served as principal, the last being Sr. Helen Martin (1976-87).

Since 1987, five lay persons have held the office of principal, presently occupied by Lauren Beckmann. Assisting the principals,

St. Robert School Emerald Auction 2015

both religious and lay, have been hundreds of lay teachers, female and male, who have not only maintained the integrity of St. Robert School but have enhanced and enriched its fine reputation in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

Athletics have always been an important part of the educational experience at St. Robert School. Until 1978, organized, league football was part of the extracurricular program. Many great teams were fielded over the years - many of them champions. In 1978, because of declining enrollment and increasing costs, football was dropped.

Basketball has always been big at St. Robert. Initially both basketball and football were boys only sports - and only in the upper grades. For many years now, basketball has been offered to both boys and girls beginning in the middle grades. In 1972 girls interscholastic sports came to St. Robert in the form of volleyball for girls

St. Robert School Milestones

in the middle school grades. Since that time volleyball is offered to both boys and girls.

Track was reinstituted a few years ago for boys and girls. Early on in the history of the school, track was part of the athletic program, as was boxing.

St. Robert Parish celebrated its Centennial during 2012. In 2015 St. Robert School will celebrate its Centennial! Parishioners can take pride in the long history of the superlative Catholic education that has been fostered by the Parish. St. Robert School is an asset to the Shorewood and Milwaukee communities and has produced thousands of alumni who have reflected brightly on St. Robert School and parish as they participate as productive, moral and ethical citizens.

St. Robert Scholarship Fund All members of the St Robert community understand the blessings of a St. Robert education. Our children are building a foundation based on academics, spiritual growth and human concern that will enrich them and their communities throughout their entire lives.

As parents, we give our time, we give our leadership, and we give our vision to the school. We give so that our children can grow.

One of St. Robert’s primary goals has been to share the boundless gifts of a St. Robert education broadly. It is commonly understood that private education is expensive, and requires the financial support of its students and patrons. This economic reality sometimes conflicts with a family's ability to afford a St. Robert education. That is why for many years St. Robert has quietly provided financial assistance to families that understand the value of our school, but need some financial assistance.

Over the past several years St. Robert has been providing over $30,000 per year in scholarships to responsible families. These scholarships have provided opportunities to hundreds of children that otherwise would not have been able to attend the school.

As our costs to educate continue to increase, we have also increased our commitment to funding scholarships to over $40,000 per year. This increase in our scholarship commitment also means higher reliance on the generosity of our community. We need your help in providing a St. Robert education to families that understand how special our school is, but need a little financial assistance.

Tonight, share the gift of St. Robert with others. Help us meet our commitment to provide a St. Robert education to families that understand how special our school is and need financial assistance for the 2015-2016 school year.

Share in the truest form of community.

One Week in Beautiful Zihuatanejo in a 3 Bedroom / 3 Bath Condo

Win this item and you’ll enjoy a 3-bedroom/3-bath condo situated within easy walking distance of the lovely beaches of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, once the playground and beach resort for Aztec emperors. A courier system of runners delivered seafood delights to the emperors, but you’ll find it’s more fun to go foraging on your own. Zihuatanejo today is very relaxed during the daytime and peaceful at night, with a charming center city area of narrow streets lined with stone or brick. Sights include a craft market with more than 200 vendors, an archaeological museum, and of course, the beautiful church, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (masses at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.). Restaurants abound and water sports, including fishing and scuba diving, are plentiful, as are sea turtles. The regional airport (Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo) is serviced by major air carriers from both Milwaukee and Chicago. With very little rain (especially in spring), an average year-round temperature of 88 degrees and an average sea temperature of 80 degrees, this is a dream destination for body and soul.

Details: condo includes linens, and a washer-dryer. Dates to be mutually agreed-upon; December not available.

Big Green Egg Ceramic Charcoal Barbecue Smoker

The Big Green Egg barbecue grill is widely regarded as “The Best Grill Ever,” and this Large Egg will help make your BBQ the “Best BBQ Ever.” The Egg’s combination of its unique, optimal shape and 100% ceramic construction makes it perhaps the most efficient and versatile cooking device ever. It burns hardwood charcoal and real hardwoods. The Egg is capable of heating up to temperatures of over 600 degrees, making it easy to sear a steak, tuna, or tenderloin. It is similarly easy to slow cook at temperatures down to 175 – 200 degrees. At these lower temperatures, the Egg can run for over 30 hours without adding charcoal. Cooking at these low temperatures allows you to slowly smoke briskets, pork or anything you want to slow cook. It easily functions as a grill, oven, or smoker, making it perfect no matter your personal food preferences. We know that thinking about all these possibilities may make the Egg seem complicated – we assure you it is not. To prove it, included with this Large Egg, Shorewood grill masters Matt Hietpas, Tim Byrne and Tom Dean will help you with your first BBQ event. They will provide your choice of brisket, pulled pork or barbecue ribs perfectly paired with exceptional single barrel bourbon and craft beer. They’ll come to your house and show you how to prepare your meat (with homemade dry rubs), prepare and light your Egg, set your cooking temperature, and monitor your food until it is done. After their tutorial, you too will be a grill master, ready to prepare full barbecue dinners for your whole family and a lot of friends. In addition to all this, you will receive delivery of your Egg along with the EGGcessories that you’ll need to get started including the stand, shelves, cover, plate setter, rib rack, poultry stand, and remote meat thermometer. This is a truly incredible package.

Scavenger Race and College Party - Wrapped into One

If it’s fun you are looking for, you’ve “found” it. Partygoers at this unique combination scavenger hunt and blast from the past college party will begin by grabbing a passport and some travel companions to be a tourist in your home town.

You will need to work as a team to decode the riddles to unlock the fun - all captured with smart phone pictures and videos. You will be working with your team (and designated driver) to identify Milwaukee spots of interest, answer trivia, make your mark (have a drink) and see how well you know the city. Think the AMAZING RACE in the Brew City! After the hunt is over, relax, share road stories, pictures, videos and libations at a special venue. Beer, pizza and dancing to The Replacements and The Cure will give everyone flashbacks to their college days. Date is tentatively set for June 27, 2015, but is subject to change.

Dear teachers and staff, We appreciate you always, though we probably do not say it nearly enough! The Room Parents of 2014-15 want to say thank you for all that you create, explore, inspire, and sacrifice to share your talents and love with all the children of St. Robert.

We hope this short piece of prose expresses our feelings!

Teachers present new topics each day,

They help us focus if we stray.

Teachers tell us we will learn all our lives,

They guide us in each moment of every class.

Teachers’ tools can’t fit in a backpack,

They are talent, energy and love.

Teachers instruct us that God’s love is constant,

They show us in the lives they lead.

Teachers set the rules of the classroom,

They let us learn from the choices we make.

Teachers want us to be careful and safe,

They hug us if we fall and cry.

Teachers give up much to be our mentors,

They don’t receive all they deserve.

T

eachers say they learn from us sometimes,

They must know that we love them always!

With love,

The 2015 Emerald Auction Student Art Project It is an annual tradition at St. Robert’s Emerald Auction to feature a school-wide Art Project, and this year’s auction project focused primarily on the students. When Donna Bailey and I spoke at the beginning of the year, we both felt that what mattered most was that each student would be authentically represented. Also taken into consideration were materials available within our budget, time constraints while scheduling around classes, and an emphasis on inter-curricular involvement in a way that allowed the full participation of students, even at the youngest elementary-school level.

We worked within these constraints and let the students design their own interpretations based on a chosen medium and theme.

Instead of the completed canvases being primarily teacher-driven or relying on heavy parent involvement, students at each grade level worked on a skill they had previously practiced, and the large finished pieces are comprised of separate works by each student in each grade.

The kids enjoyed the chance to collaborate through their creativity and individual contributions, and they had fun knowing these fleeting activities would culminate in something enduring for their school auction. We hope everyone will appreciate the effort and excitement that went into each of these magical masterpieces.
