St. John Baptist de La Salle Honoree

The Kaukauna Catholic School System announced the Honoree of the St. John Baptist de La Salle award on Thursday, February 4th all the all system liturgy. This saint was a French educator and priest whom was also the founder of the Christian Brothers. He spent most of this life teaching children of the very poor. Saint John Baptist de la Salle was born in 1651 and died in 1719. He is considered to be one of the most distinguished educators of modern times. So, it was only fitting that Mr. Ken Wydeven receive this first honor. Mr. Wydeven has given over 30 years of his life to the education of students and just like St. John Baptist de La Salle he is considered to be by all those students an excellent caring teacher.
