Art is Just Part of the IB Philosophy!

Mary Beth Fox adds her artistic flair, teaching talents and creative ideas to a great art program at Wauwatosa Catholic School!

Parents of students at Wauwatosa Catholic School and parishioners at both St. Pius X and St. Bernard parishes, as well as the public, are invited to join in an informational International Baccalaureate Night at Wauwatosa Catholic School on  Sept. 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Griffey Center at 1500 Wauwatosa Ave. (below church in church basement)

As a part of the well-rounded International Baccalaureate Curriculum, Wauwatosa Catholic School is proud to offer a dynamic art program.  Mrs. Mary Beth Fox is eager to share her years of teaching experience with students in Kindergarten through eighth grade! In her own words:

"My educational background includes a BA from Mt. Mary in Art Therapy/Elementary Art Education. Working eight years at St. Pius X as the part-time art teacher has been a rewarding experience. Prior to this, I substitute taught all subjects for nine years at Christ King. My husband Mike and I have been residents of Wauwatosa for 25 years where we raised our five children. My interests include art, reading, boating and scuba diving."
