Congratulations to our 8th grade class of 2026! We were honored to have you as a part of our JPIIA family whether it was for one year or for 10 years. You will always have a place here. We are so proud of you and can not wait to watch the amazing things you accomplish in the future. We are so glad we got to celebrate you with breakfast, your Last Mass, Last Walk, the Graduation Ceremony and your final field trip together. Cherish the memories.

Congratulations to our Girls on the Run team for completing their season with their 5K yesterday. We are so proud of you.

One of the best days of our school year is our yearbook signing day. It exemplifies what a family John Paul II Academy really is. Our entire school meets on the grassy patch and interacts with all grade levels and staff to sign each other’s yearbooks. We know we have something special when our older students know our littles by name and willingly seek them out to sign their books. What an amazing way to end the week.

Yesterday could not have been more fun as we celebrated our year with Field Day. A complete day outside together! Our 8th graders did a fantastic job running the stations, Mr. Hanson did an awesome job organizing. We could not make this such a success without our parent volunteers. Let's not forget the yummy treat of Kona Ice too! We work so hard to ACHIEVE great things all year this is a celebration of our GROWTH as a school family.

What a prayful afternoon gathered together in the living Rosary. Thank you to Mrs. Dahlgren for helping to coordinate.

It has been a fantastic week as we celebrated learning, faith, staff, families, and our time together this year. 3rd and 4th grade had a fabulous trip to Old World Wisconsin. Our teachers were showered with love for teacher appreciation week from our students and families. The Girls on the Run team finished their practice run. We came together Monday for our last whole school morning Rosary. Fifth grade had their annual shadow day in Middle School. Yesterday was Muffins in the Morning with a full gym of those we love. Each day as we count down to summer break we are celebrating our time together with a different ABC theme. Enjoy the photos that give you a glimpse into the community of JPIIA where we live our mission to BELIEVE, GROW, and ACHIEVE in everything we do.

Teacher appreciation week continues as we welcome back our full staff from the 8th grade trip to Springfield. Thank you again to our families who continue to donate yummy treats to keep us fed. Students continued to deliver special messages to staff. Our second grade students lead our Liturgy of the Word today in place of Mass and crowned our beautiful Mother Mary at Church. Mission Moments all around as we BELIEVE, GROW, and ACHIEVE great things here at JPIIA.
