Muskego - St. Leonard Parish is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its school opening in some fun, big ways this year.
On Saturday, March 19, a party for grownups - “The Celebration” - will be held in the parish gymnasium. It will feature a heavenly “Taste of the Town” from five area restaurants and caterers, the band The UnXpected, a silent auction and a raffle.
“We’re excited to celebrate this milestone for our parish and for Muskego,” said school parent Stacey Bartz, whose husband, Pat, also attended the parish school. “St. Leonard’s dedication to 50 years of traditional Catholic education - emphasizing faith, academic excellence and service - has served the community well.”
