Hello Loyola!
Welcome to the end of our third week of school already! The time has flown by. We are off to a great start with really good energy and good sense of positivity from our student body. We are hopeful to keep that going. I am seeing great leadership from our staff and students. I have to commend our senior students for taking on the role of responsibility in setting the tone for a positive school culture and they are sure doing that. They are also stepping it up in decision-making in leading our school. I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Kari Koester for taking the lead on being Student Council Advisor. Much of the credit for a positive start to the year needs to go to her as well.
In other good news, our latest ACT results are available. Congratulations to Loyola for a solid ACT comprehensive score. We scored a comprehensive 24.8, well ahead of the state average and regional comprehensive average.
As we move into next week and beyond into October, we will begin our fall 2017 round of NWEA testing. While it is only one true test, it is an instrument of us being able to pinpoint where your child is at and to best target our instruction and assessments for them. Therefore, we do hope that students are "test ready" by being well-rested, fed appropriately, and in good mind and spirit.
Speaking of being rested, some of our Loyola students recently starred in a KEYC-TV story about the importance of sleep. Mrs. Kirschner, our H.S. Counselor also starred in the story. If you haven't had a chance yet to watch the story, take a look
here.
We continue to pray daily for our friends in the south who are being impacted severely by the recent run of hurricanes. To those of you in our family who have family and friends in those areas, we are thinking of you and praying for you.
All my best to you on this Feast Day of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Adam Bemmels, Principal

Recess Help!
Parents, we are looking for volunteers to help supervise recess. The time period of 10:25-10:50am are the most needed. We are flexible to accommodate your schedule- if you can only do a day or two here and there, that is fine! Please
contact the office if you can help. Thank you!
Please be sure to complete and return the yellow health census form that was sent home. ALL K-12 students need to have one on file.
