Principal's Reflection
Greetings SJB Families,
When I told my friends in Chicago that I was relocating to Green Bay, many were very surprised. I am a lifelong city girl, and they were curious as to why I would leave the city for such a different place. Here’s what I told them: I was looking for a smaller, more connected community, a place where people know each other and are kind and helpful and friendly. And as it turns out, that’s exactly what I have experienced in the past two weeks, since my relocation: everyone I have run into in the Green Bay area has been very patient with me as I find my way around and settle in. Even more than all that, the mission and vision of the GRACE schools and the opportunity to joyfully live our faith every day together, as the learning community of SJB, drew me to Green Bay. I am so happy to be here, I can’t wait to meet all of you, and I am very excited to have all of our students back in the building next month! Please continue to pray for me and for our school as we approach the first day of school.
Gratefully,
Ms. Dana Vance
