LETTER
FROM

Good Afternoon,
This past weekend was certainly a great time to be a Patriot! The boys' basketball team beat our rivals from downtown Dayton with the support of a huge and spirited crowd, the girls' team took Division I power McAuley to the wire, the swim team honored its seniors and won the Patriot Invitational, the Winter Guard took 5th place at the Olentangy Showcase, and the wrestling team brought home its 4th straight GCL Co-ed title! Congratulations to all of our students that participated in these events over the weekend.
Unfortunately, the shine of a great weekend was tarnished when the students running the Carroll Crazies Twitter account used social media to defame students in the Chaminade Julienne community. We do not condone these messages in any way. Everyone involved will endure consequences, and sincere apologies will be made to the victims of these tweets.
Social networks offer the opportunity for people to connect with people they know, make new friends, trade ideas, share content and pictures, and many other activities. Users can stay abreast of the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Students can collaborate with their peers to improve their academic proficiency and communication skills. However, social media can have far-reaching negative effects that can be damaging to individuals and ruin the reputations of innocent people. It is up to each person to use social sites wisely for the enhancement of life, not the detriment. We must all exercise caution to ensure we do not fall victim to the tempting and dangerous practices that social media can present.
Have a great week!
Matt
