In these parts we rarely cheer for any teams other than the White Sox or Cubs...BUT in this case we've got a big round of applause for the Pirates on winning the Evergreen Park Baseball Club Pee Wee Championship 2023! Standing ovations for our Wildcat players Thomas Lugowski, Cannon Morris and his dad / Asst Coach Rob Morris and JD Ramazinski along with his dad, Asst Coach Jim Ramazinski. Great job guys!
Just because it's summer doesn't mean the learning stops! Ms. Scorzo visited the Presidential home of George Washington about a week ago and at the President’s grave, she was asked to do a reading during a commemorative wreath ceremony. Quite an honor! She can’t wait to share the information with the students on the fall.
TBT - QM Style! During the last week of school, the students finished up their learning and had a fun activities filled Field Day! There were several stations for the students to move to and each class spent about 20 minutes at each station. The children tried their hand at Bags, Don’t Break the Chain, Basketball, Relay Races (carrying a cotton ball on a spoon), Freeze Dance, Pool Noodle Hockey, Rock / Paper / Scissors and the favorite - how many pizza boxes can you carry!!! Several of the 8th graders came back to help. Special thanks to Home and School for providing lunch of hot dogs, chips, cookies and water. Even after all of that - our Wildcats got to relax with a movie and popcorn! We Miss You Wildcats! Hope you're having a great summer!
This is the last week to get your Cow Pie Bingo tickets!!!
Summer is here but that doesn't mean our teachers stop thinking about their QM kids! Mrs. Gagner went to see a few of our first and second grade girls play a playoff game. Too bad they didn’t win but it was great to see them play a good game!!!
Happy Father's Day to all our Wildcat Dads!
The Queen of Martyrs School community would like to congratulate Nancy Myers on her well deserved retirement. For 34 years, Nancy would arrive long before school started and stay long after school to ensure the children would cross the street safely.
No matter what kind of weather, Nancy was always there with a smile and a cheerful good morning or have a nice day. She saw so many children grow up over the years. We are all going to miss you Nancy!!! Best of luck as you start your retirement. #MartyrsLove

Mrs. Gagner’s first grade class shared their enjoyment of the last week of school with some of the residents of Mercy Circle. The children colored pictures to brighten up their rooms or common areas. They partnered up with a resident and showed off their reading ability by reading a short story. They ended their visit by playing a game with them. The residents and students were both grinning ear to ear. One of the residents was over heard saying “this was so much fun” and the first graders concurred as they all wanted to go back the next day!!!
It's only been a few days but it feels like forever! School is out for the summer but since today is the first day we don't have to "wake up early for school," we thought we'd share a few snapshots from our last day!
A big round of applause and many thanks and blessings.
See you all in the fall!!!
Enjoy your last day and then ENJOY YOUR SUMMER WILDCATS!!!!!
A big round of applause for a great job to all of the QM spring soccer teams! It was a fun season! Thanks to all the coaches and parents for their support!
While their journey within these walls may have come to a close, they will always be part of this school and this community. Congratulations to our Queen of Martyrs Class of 2023 graduates but remember: Once a Wildcat...ALWAYS a Wildcat!
Congratulations to our graduates!!!!!
One of the great things about the end of the school year (and the run at QM) is getting to take on your teachers in a spirited game of volleyball. Yesterday, our 8th Grade Students took on the QM Staff Volleyball Game. Everyone had a blast!
Our hearts break for the St. Linus 8th grade student who passed away suddenly last week. We are holding the entire St. Linus community and her family in our prayers.
"Jesus is in the center of your heart. In the Gospel, we heard Jesus say let the children come to me. At all times during your life you can turn to Jesus."
The statue of Jesus with the children, which had resided at St. Bernadette School for so many years, was moved to its new permanent home at Queen of Martyrs School. A parishioner, Joe Albarran, donated his talents and restored portions of the statue which had broken or weathered over the years.
Pictured with Fr. Benedykt is Joe (left) and Bill Hardy, who served as a model for the boy in the statue and whose family donated the statue to St. Bernadette School several years ago. We thank the many parishioners who joined us and the many children who said some words as our statue found its way to its new home.
Remember, Memorial Day is so much more more than just a day off of school...
