Please contact Michele Moriarty at [email protected] or 614-267-7808 ext. 130 with questions.

Donations given by current parents will automatically be a part of the 2015-16 Parent Challenge. 
All parents who contribute to our 2015-16 Annual Giving will receive two tickets to any home athletic event of your choice for the 2016-17 school year. *To be eligible to receive Parent Challenge incentives, a minimum donation of $50 is required.

All contributors in the winning class will receive a 10 game athletic pass to be used during the 2016-17 school year or two tickets to a performing arts event. The winning class will be determined on dollars raised per class. If you have children in different class levels, donation will be split between the classes.

Angela Tlahuel was selected for the Joyce Ivy Foundation Summer Scholars program. The program provides scholarships for talented high school students to attend summer academic programs on college campuses. Angela will be attending Brown University this summer and taking a course called "Introduction to U.S. Law and the Way Lawyers think." Her scholarship will cover the cost of tuition at Brown and also a portion of her travel expenses.

Earlier this year, SFD participated in a dress down day to support World Down's Syndrome Awareness Day.  Spearheaded by freshmen Nick and Chris Fuchs, the dress down raised $1,250 to support Special Olympics in Gahanna. Pictured is Chris Fuchs presenting the check to his good friend and Special Olympics representative, Johnny Weimer.

Congratulations to Ricardo Volley for winning the Fishing Club's Bass Tournament with his 20 inch large-mouth bass. His bass also is the biggest fish caught at a club tournament this season!

The Moon family would like to thank the entire DeSales community for all of their support of the "Dine Out for Crohn's and Colitis" fundraiser to benefit the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. With all of your help and support of selling wristbands, raffle tickets and sales from the restaurant, $4,070 was raised!  The Moon family is so thankful for all of your support and wanted you to know that the money raised for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation goes towards research and education to help so many patients and families. Together we can make a difference!

A message from School Nurse Ruth Ann Farthing RN: 

Thank you to the parents who have already sent in an updated immunization record this year. Ohio students entering 12th grade this fall will be required to be vaccinated against Meningitis. Two
doses of meningococcal vaccine must be administered prior to entry to 12th grade. If the first dose was administered on or after the 16th birthday, a second dose is not required. Please contact your student's health care provider about this vaccine and send the immunization record to the school nurse via fax at 614-265-3375. Questions? My email address is [email protected].

Daily Reflection

The most holy virgin "arose quickly, full of concern" [ cf. Lk 1:39] and went to visit Elizabeth to show us the promptness with which we must correspond with divine inspirations. Indeed, when the Holy Spirit touches a soul, He drives out all forms of laziness and tepidity - defects that often give us trouble in our spiritual life. He dearly loves diligence and promptness in all that concerns the execution of the Divine Will. (Sermons 19; O. IX, p. 165)
