Stallions in the Spotlight
Last Thursday evening Principal Garrick was named Diocesan Principal of the Year. On Friday morning the student body gathered for a surprise assembly to honor him.
Check out his reaction here!

Tom Gattis, Dean of Design Arts at CCAD, stopped by SFD to hear presentations from our Advanced CADD students. They presented a project specified by Mr. Gattis for a camp facility in Alabama. The project given to the CADD students was to design a bunk room for guests staying at a remote camp. The concept was to convert an 8' diameter concrete culvert into a private space for staff and visiting professionals leading the week long experience.
The Business Club is campaigning to increase and ensure seat belt usage in our St. Francis DeSales community. The good news is an unannounced survey found 90% of our SFD community use their seat belts. It's our aim to increase that percentage to 100%, every day-every time. Last Thursday and Monday, students
stopped by the Seat Belt Challenge table and signed the pledge to wear their seat belts all the time. The Business Club also recently had guest speaker Jon Hoffman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer for Management and Network Services, LLC stop by to talk to their group about how to start and then grow a company.
After the mock political rally held last week, students simulated their constitutional right to vote yesterday during lunch periods.
Stephanie Suh was the winner of the Spanish Club's sugar skull decorating competition for the Day of the Dead.

Death Row Stories
The Business & Personal Law class taught by Mr. Jeff Montenaro, along with the Stallions for Life Club, is bringing Joe D'Amborsio and Father Kookothe to St. Francis DeSales High School on Wednesday, November 16th at 8 AM. Joe D'Ambrosio spent 22 years on Ohio's death row before being exonerated with the help of Father Neil Kookothe, a Catholic priest, who also happens to be a nurse and attorney. The combination of this unique skill set helped Kookothe during this death row case.
The CNN documentary series, "Death Row Stories" tells Joe's story through riveting interviews with many characters that were involved in this case. Father Kookothe and Joe D'Ambrosio will discuss their experience and journey along with the Catholic Church's stance on capital punishment.
Students are encouraged to watch the following documentary before the presentation on Wednesday.
All other SFD community members interested in attending the presentation are welcome to join the students and staff next Wednesday morning.

Daily Reflection
"
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew."
