Tuesday,

From the Principal’s Desk We have made it to May! We are finishing up this school year with some truly amazing

accomplishments by both our students (keep reading this newsletter) and our amazing

staff, but we still have a few more things to achieve. I want to thank our Teachers and

Staff for their dedication and commitment to our students and Catholic Education. It is

because of them that your children are growing and learning not only Reading, Writing

and Arithmetic but also values, traditions and love of our Faith. They do an amazing

job! Thank you for your hard work and Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

It is getting close to that time when our Pre-Kindergarten students will graduate to big

Kindergarteners and our 8th

Graders will head off to High School. Change is never

easy but the road ahead is always bright. Keep those eyes forward and always do your

best.

Our last day of school for our Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten students is Friday, May

18th

with Pre-Kindergarten graduation at 10 am. Our 8th

Graders last day and

graduation will be on Thursday, May 24th

. Please join us if you can! The last day of

school for our K-7th

grade students will be Friday, May 25th

with an Early Dismissal at

1:15 pm. (NO Latchkey will be available on the last day.) We will do an end of the

year award ceremony for grades 5th

– 7th

at 9 am on May 25th

and grades 2nd

– 4th

at

9:45 pm in the Church. Come celebrate your child’s accomplishments this year!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a great school year! It is a

privilege; I do not take for granted, to lead your children and this school. I wish

everyone a blessed next few weeks of school and a safe summer.

Art & Essay Contest Winner

Congratulations to our

“Shark Tank” Winners We are proud to announce that “Quint5 Scents”

Adyson B., Kaylie R., Katelyn R., Genevieve Z. & David K.

won FIRST Place not only at our very own school “Shark

Tank” competition but also at the “Catapult” Competition

that took place April 28th

at St. Ignatius.

There were 14 participants sent to this competition with schools

throughout the Cleveland & Akron areas. The participants had to stand

up on stage and present their business plans to the judges. Our 5

entrepreneurs presented their custom candles repurposed from old church

candles that are also very eco-friendly. Many hours of preparation went

into this not only for the students who made each candle, but by their

amazing teacher, Mrs. Radanovich. You can support these students by

purchasing these candles at the school. Their business journey is just

beginning. Great Job students!

There were over 2,600 entries in the contest this year. Students had to

reflect upon God’s precious gift of life.

Congratulations to 7th

Grader, Nevaeh B.

who won 2nd

Place for her Essay!

She will be presented a special award at a ceremony on Sunday, April

29th

in Parma. We are very proud of your hard work Nevaeh. Thank

for being a great example to all students & spreading God’s Message of

Life to others.

profit of $1,360.94. WOW! All teachers Pre-School to 8th
