The InvenTeam initiative is designed to excite high school students about invention; empower students to problem solve; and encourage an inventive culture in schools and communities. Mr. Savinell will put together a team of 12-15 students to work on inventing an automatic page turner for disabled persons and musicians. He and his students will be applying for a grant due in September for up to $10,000 to invent the machine and unveil it at a Eureka festival next June at MIT.

The Digital Photography classes took a field trip to the zoo on Tuesday. Although they had a challenging assignment to fulfill while they were there, the weather was beautiful, great pictures were taken, and fun was had by all.
Ten students, two parents, Mrs. Miceli and Mr. Montenaro travled to Chicago on Thursday, April 25. They visited Chicago Board of Trade, Willis Towers, Money Museum, Wrigley Field, Magnificent Mile and of course, had deep dish pizza at Giordano's. Pictured below right.
A note of thanks...
Dear DeSales students, staff, and family members,
Thank you for all of your support of Tyler's fundraiser to benefit the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. With your help, we were able to raise $4,066 for the foundation! This money will help so many people suffering from these diseases by supporting research and resources for patients and families. We sincerely appreciate your prayers, words of encouragement, purchasing of wristbands and raffle tickets, and dining at Giammarco's Pizzeria! The support has been overwhelming to us and we want you to know how much we appreciate it! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tim, Tania, Tyler and Kyle Moon

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION
| |
Let us consider for a moment if lively faith in the cross of Mount Calvary is firmly rooted in our intellect. Faith was indeed implanted there in baptism, but has a sort of idol been fabricated there by our imagination? Let us see if in our memory, where hope has been planted, we have replaced it with an image of some beautiful goddess; if in our will, where God has planted charity, we have introduced vanity and the love of earthly things. In imitation of Saint Helena, we should uproot these cursed figures to reerect the cross, saying with the apostle, "May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." [Gal 6:14] (Sermons 18; O. IX, p. 179)
