Stallions in the Spotlight
The SFD Ski and Snowboard Club would like to thank all the students and staff who supported their donut sales this winter. Funds raised went to TAASC (The Adaptive Adventure Sports Coalition) to help adults, children and veterans with physical disabilities ski and/or snowboard again. A special thanks to Schneider's Bakery in Westerville for contributing to this effort as well. Ski Club members Isaac and Isaiah Rush volunteer to train with TAASC each Saturday, and see first-hand how this organization makes a difference in many lives.
French IV & V students Olivia Hervey, Brady Bookless, Vanessa Amissa and Khoa Do are visiting St. Matthias each Tuesday this semester to teach the kindergartners in Mrs. Spittell's class
'Beginning French.'
