STUDENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Nick Hancart was chosen to be the delegate to Boys State for the one-week conference held at Bowling Green University this summer. Colin Madigan, Thomas Gallaher, and Brandon Popovich were all chosen as alternates, and were also sponsored to attend. Boys State recognizes outstanding young men to attend and participate in a mock government experience where they will learn about the workings of local, county and state government. This prestigious program is sponsored by the American Legion and has such distinguished alumni such as Neil Armstrong.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so you learn to love God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art. ~St. Francis de Sales

A special reminder about the end of the year clearance/remodeling sale in the Spirit Shop. We need to clear out some merchandise so that we can complete a remodeling of the
store over the summer and re-stock next year with new inventory items and a better selection of sizes.

The store is open before school and during all lunch periods. Check the store webpage for details about special evening hours.
