Stallions in the Spotlight

We won again! St. Francis DeSales High School received the CBUS Top Pick award for Best Private School for the second year in a row. Last Thursday, Assistant Principal Jim Jones and Principal Dan Garrick attended the CBUS Top Picks Gala hosted by The Columbus Dispatch where the honor was announced. Watch for the Winners Guide in The Columbus Dispatch on Friday, December 22.

The Stallion Baseball team was up early Saturday morning loading trucks for Charity Newsies! The Baseball program has been involved with the Charity Newsies for almost 15 years. 

Stephanie Arthur is a proud recipient of an Ohio Knights of Columbus Scholarship for this school year. 

Italian IV/AP students visited the 4th graders at St. Matthias School this morning to teach them about Christmas in Italy. They practiced vocabulary, played games, read about Italian Christmas legends, and shared a snack with the 4th graders. It was a fun way to get into the holiday spirit.

Experienced Plumber for Eco-Friendly Solution

The Environmental Club is seeking a community member who is a qualified plumber willing to donate their time to measure and install new eco-friendly water fountains in the school.

The DeSales Environmental Club earned a grant from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Kroger to replace outdated water fountains with Elkay refillable bottle filling stations. We would greatly appreciate help with installation. Please contact Environment Club Advisor Mrs. Danielle Polemeni at polemeni@desales.co for more information about this project. 
Daily Reflection 

Lord, our Savior, In joy-filled anticipation, I come to You in prayer, filled with renewed hope in the love You came to share. On this Advent journey, remembering Your birth, may I find through faith in You the gift of peace on Earth. Amen.
