Dear Parents,

This past Wednesday we held our 1st Annual School Eucharistic Congress.  The day held many exciting events including School Mass, essay presentations by students, all day Adoration, and great guest speakers.  I found the most memorable experience to be the Benediction at the end of the day.  All students, faculty, and many parents were there to adore Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament together in front of the altar.  I could not think of a better picture of our school, or a more fitting last event for our school community to do together at the end of the year.  

It is hard to believe that this is our last week of school.  I want to thank all parents for your faithful partnership with our school. You have helped in more ways that I could mention a memo.  It is a privilage to have a role in the education of your precious child(ren).  

May God bless your family this summer and always! 

Nathan Wright

ART CAMP - SPACE ONE ELEVEN
Janna Phillips,  Arts Education Coordinator with Space One Eleven is offering summer art camps for rising 2nd through 12th graders. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to strengthen  art skills in a studio setting. If you know a student who you think would benefit from or enjoy summer art camps, we would greatly appreciate it if share this information. Space One Eleven enjoys having its summer interns who come from John Carroll Catholic High School. Your students will probably see someone they know here at summer art camps! Below I have included a list of all the camps and the course descriptions. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for who else might be interested in these summer art camps.
Sincerely,
Janna Phillips
