Each year, schools in the GRACE System select a very special volunteer from their community to receive the outstanding volunteer award. This award was presented at the back-to-school mass. St. John Paul II Classical School is pleased to recognize Mrs. Amanda Matczynski for the award this year.
Mrs. Amanda Matczynski is an active parent and school aide at St. John Paul II Classical School and Chesterton Academy of SJPII. Amanda’s three children all attend SJPII. Amanda also serves on the Site Advisory Council, recently vacating the role of Chair for the past 2-years and currently serves as the fundraising chair/liaison for the site’s fundraising events. She has led the schools “Two Wings Gala” for the past 2-years and will do so again this spring. Not only is Amanda involved within the school, she is also an active parishioner at St. Bernard Parish and participates in many events within the parish including cooking for shelter meals, organizing the child and infant loss memorial Mass and lectoring at Mass. If that isn’t enough, Amanda also is the Executive Director of her family’s non-profit organization, the Marvin & Debra Cherney Family Foundation, and holds board positions with other non-profit organizations throughout northeastern Wisconsin.
St. John Paul II & Chesterton Academy’s Headmaster, Mr. Patrick McKeown, stated, “Mrs. Matczynski has been a pioneer parent from the inception of the school as well as an outstanding volunteer in so many capacities. We are thankful and grateful for all her time and dedication.”
Thank you Mrs. Matczynski!
