SUMMER READING REMINDER
Outcasts United
All students are required to read this book before the first day of school. This is the only book students are required to read.
Outcasts United by Warren St. John 
Available at Barnes & Noble (Easton or Polaris) for $15.00. 

 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Outcasts United is the story of a team of refugee boys, the remarkable woman who coaches them, and the town where they live, a once-sleepy southern hamlet that has been upended by the process of refugee resettlement. It's a story about the challenges posed by our quickly changing world, and one that reminds us of what is possible in this country when we put our values in action.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT UPDATE
A note from the Milena DiMike "All About Fun" Tiebreaker Tournament Coordinator...
Due to a small number of entries, and a very iffy weather forecast (without an indoor back-up available), we have decided not to hold the Milena DiMike "All About Fun" Tennis Tournament this weekend.  We appreciate the interest that many of you have shown in supporting this scholarship in Milena's memory. We are definitely going to continue this as an annual event.  

If you would still like to contribute to the scholarship, you can send your donation to:
St. Francis DeSales High School
4212 Karl Road
Columbus, Ohio  43224
Please note on your check that it is for the Milena DiMichaelangelo scholarship fund.  We will also send you one of the tournament T-shirts! 
 
Thanks again so much for your interest and support.  While I am disappointed that we cannot make a go of it this year, I am putting my donation check in the mail tomorrow and hoping to see all of you at the tournament next summer!

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION 

Lord, help me to create a balanced life.
Help me to take time to enjoy life,
To be a person full of gratitude.
Help me take time to love,
To extend my hand in service to those
around me.
Lord, remind me to take time to learn,

To be disciplined and accountable.
Help me to make a difference in the
small and big moments of my life.
Lord, help me to keep smiling, to be
happy and true to myself.
Lord, infuse me with your spirit
So I can create a life of balance,
moderation, and simplicity.
And whatever my challenge,
Let it be an occasion to deepen my
life's purpose.
