On Saturday, October 14, we sent a
seventh and eighth grade team
to the
seventh annual St. Ignatius Brain Brawl.
Our team of
J
ae Smith, Rob Hammer, Adam Zevnik, Hailey Moltz , Luke Stuart, and Hugh Sullivan
went up against worthy competitors from Our Lady of Angels, Gesu, LCA, and St. Raphael. We advanced to the quarterfinals in a division higher than last year. Although St. Raphael is the school who took the trophy home, they are one of the teams we tied earlier in the day. We had a fun and rewarding day matching wits with some very tough teams, and we are looking forward to next year.
Thank you
to our moderators this year, Mrs. Yanosko and Mrs. Sent.
Congratulations
to all of our St. Bernadette participants!

Fire Lieutenant Tim Draves
from the

visit our Kindergarten classrooms to teach our little bulldogs life lessons on fire safety

including how to make a fire safety plan with your parents, the importance of smoke alarms and other fire safety instruction. Students asked questions and learned so much during his visit. Lieutenant Draves also showed the children what a fireman or firewoman does during an actual fire.

It was an afternoon of laughing and learning as our
K through 5th grade students enjoyed an educational assembly put on by the
"Energized Guyz" from the National Theatre for Children. Students were entertained and inspired throughout the interactive skit and found out about how to stop energy from being wasted. They also were taught many important lessons on conserving energy and protecting the resources of our planet, now and in the future.
All families can request their very own Energy Efficiency Kit by logging onto
OhioStudentKit.com
and using promo code FEOH1718. When you order a kit, you can also earn cash rewards for your classroom and our school.

Welcome to Cleveland Bishop Perez
|
|
Our St. Bernadette
students
created and sent greeting cards to our new Bishop, welcoming him and inviting him to our school. We hope he takes us up on our offer in the near future. Students also received
prayer cards this past week for them to keep.
On July 11, 2017, Pope Francis appointed Nelson Perez, the Bishop of the diocese of Cleveland.
He was officially installed as the 11th Bishop of Cleveland on September 5, 2017. We look forward to the many exciting plans he has for our diocese and we wish him well as he begins this new journey.
God bless you Bishop Perez!
