Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Milwaukee

As we get ready for the start of school next week, we are so grateful to the seven CRJ parents who attended our panel discussion this afternoon. They shared the importance of the faith aspect of the school is, the impact that the Corporate Work Study Program has made on their children's future, and gratitude for the high level of academics that CRJ students are held to. We are proud to walk with our parents on this journey, and we thank them for their partnership, trust, and commitment.

The CRJ team of 12 students and 3 members of the faith formation team has returned from their service trip to the Dominican Republic. During their nine day trip, they helped to build an aqueduct for a rural community of 135 homes that did not have access to water. This trip was made possible thanks to Alter Metal Recycling's Go Green for the Green program in April that raised over $28,000 to support the trip. Thank you Alter Trading for your support, and thank you Trailblazers for your incredible service!

Thank you to the representatives from our over 100 Corporate Work Study Partners who attended this morning’s Supervisor Orientation. Our supervisors work every day with our students when they are at their workplace, and their partnership is key to the success of the Corporate Work Study Program. We are grateful to work with them and walk with them through each school year as our students gain meaningful work experience. In addition, thank you also to the amazing CWSP team who put this morning’s orientation together!

Rising freshman Alexis R. was able to enjoy a Brewers game this week with a once in a lifetime on-field experience along with his family. Alexis won the tickets at our Class of 2028 Celebration Weekend earlier this spring. Thank you to the Milwaukee Brewers Charity Foundation for their donation and for their support of CRJ students and our mission!

Thank you to PyraMax Bank for presenting CRJ with a $3500 grant today! This grant will provide CRJ students during the upcoming school year with vital work exploration and work readiness skill development at nonprofit organizations around Milwaukee. Included in the picture are Elaine Sherman from Pyramax Bank and Samantha Young and Shannon Watry of CRJ.

Congratulations to the Class of 2028 on completing Summer Bridge! Thank you to all the faculty, staff and volunteers who helped make this four-week program an engaging experience. Enjoy your summer break, and we look forward to welcoming back every student on August 21st to kick off our 10th school year!

Fr. Bill ran into Tim Ohnmacht, President of In-Store Solutions & South America, and CRJ alumna Cristal Ortiz, '22 at Quad yesterday. Cristal is spending her summer interning in Quad's In-Store Department and Account Management areas where she has been doing research and strategy in Quad's new innovation center! Keep up the great work Cristal!

We were so excited to host almost 100 students from United Community Center this afternoon. The rising 7th and 8th graders were able to take a tour of the school, see our Innovation Center, and ask questions about what a CRJ education is like. We can't wait to see these students in the halls in the next few years when they're Trailblazers!

Enjoy your day off Class of 2028! See you on Monday for Summer Bridge.
