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 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.

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)
