HAPPY NEW YEAR, CAVALIERS!
Welcome back from Christmas Break! To celebrate a new year, we've added some exciting new updates to our website, including updated photo galleries and a more user-friendly home page with the most important links closer to the top. In addition, we have added an announcement bar for important messages, such as school closures, which will only show when there is pertinent and timely information to share. We hope you'll take a minute to check out the site and let us know what
you think!
As always, be sure to review all the important inf
ormation in this week's Family Newsletter. We'd love to hear from you with any comments, suggestions or news items, as well as with any any email address changes. Simply send your comments, news stories or email address changes to [email protected] by Wednesday of the week prior to publication, and we'll be happy to share!

Good Samaritan College Classes
Any student interested in attending a class at Good Samaritan College should see Ms. Nowlin in guidance to get signed up. Below is some infor
mation on the College Credit Plus classes offered at Good Samaritan.
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) allows and encourages students to take college level courses through the College Credit Plus program (CCP). The CCP program allows students the opportunity to simultaneously earn college and high school credit at a reduced rate.
We have created a partnership with the Good Samaritan College of Nursing to better facilitate our utilization of the CCP program. Good Samaritan offers many general education courses that our students can take eliminating the need to take these general courses when they attend college. These courses are transferable to all state universities and to many out of state universities as well.
* Good Samaritan is offering an Intro to Psychology class next semester at no cost to the student. It is offered on Thursdays from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
* A course catalog of course offerings is located in the Guidance Office with additional courses costing $41.00 per credit hour.
Students wanting to participate in the CCP program need to meet with Ms. Nowlin in the Guidance Department to discuss the course(s) they would like to take. Ms. Nolwin will walk students through the application process to ensure enrollment in the course. Students must meet the college's admission requirements in order to take the course, which are:
* 2.0 GPA
* 870 SAT or 18+ACT

Purcell Marian Faculty Adopts Two Families for Christmas
 |
|
|
One of two families adopted by the Purcell Marian faculty this Christmas
|
Faculty and staff at Purcell Marian High School adopted two families through The Su Casa Hispanic Center this year to help make Christmas a little brighter. Margarita Keithley in the business office helped coordinate the effort, and went to Su Casa along with Mr. Tobin over break to present the gifts to the families. They were received with great appreciation!
We look forward to continuing this new partnership with The Su Casa Hispanic Center, a program of Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio, which serves the Hispanic/Latino immigrants who are seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Some undertake the dangerous journey to migrate to the U.S. in search of a better future, while some have resided in the U.S. for many years.
