The Stallion Card is the annual student-driven fund raiser for the school. The Stallion Card features 16 local businesses that offers CONTINUOUS DISCOUNTS, and are valid for a full year. The card offers over $85 in discounts from popular restaurants and businesses.
Students are asked to participate by selling 7 Stallion Cards to family and friends. Families with multiple students are asked to sell two cards less than the 7 cards to be sold.

Join us for Eucharistic Adoration This Friday
This Friday, November 4, we will celebrate our second Day of Eucharistic Adoration at the school. The day will begin with Mass at 7 a.m. in the chapel followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for the entire school day. Eucharistic Adoration will close with
Benediction at approximately 1:10 p.m. (due to the early dismissal that day). We would like to invite parents to sign up for a holy hour during the day to come and pray for the students, faculty, and staff. If you care to just drop in and make a visit to the chapel during the day, you may do that as well. An invitation card is attached for your consideration or you can contact Bill or Mary Beth Hinger at
bill.hinger@gmail.com or call
614-560-1555. The intention of this Friday is
for the intercession of all the Saints in Heaven and in thanksgiving for all the blessings God has bestowed upon our families as a result of the faithfulness of those SFD graduates, faculty, and staff who have gone before us.
Parents we invite you to participate too!
Parents can email the completed invitation card to
bill.hinger@gmail.com, send it regular mail to the Hinger's home (205 Aldrich Road, Columbus, Ohio 43214), or send in a hard copy to the school to the attention of Ms. Fox.

Stallions in the Spotlight
Members of the St. Vincent DePaul service club organized a Halloween party for the children in the after school program at St. Stephen's Community House. Club members treated students to crafts, bingo, the ever-popular "haunted house" as well as many sweet treats. This project is always fun for the "kids" of all ages.
During our second DeSales Fishing Club tournament held on October 16th, our members caught a CLUB RECORD 356 total fish in four hours! The leading angler was Ricardo Volley with 62 fish (pictured).
Director of Digital Communications Tom Snyder visited St. Anthony this week to participate in the Read with a Stallion program.
The Stallions for Wellness club has enjoyed a few activities together this fall, furthering their mission to
encourage teens to live a healthy and balanced life by promoting wellness and healthy choices. The group met on October 18th to have a healthy breakfast together.
Last Wednesday, members went to Trick or Trunk at St. James the Less, helping provide a safe, fun environment for over 300 children to enjoy their Trick or Treat experience. A special thank you to members of the National Honor Society for their donation of the candy.
Pictured are this year's winners of our annual Halloween Dress Up Day contest and Pumpkin Carving Contest. Congrats to these creative students!
Students in Mrs. Sharritts' Calculus classes also had some Halloween fun (while learning!). Students were given a bag of fun size M&M's and were asked to determine the dimensions of a square bottom box to be constructed from the least amount of paper to hold the exact number of M&M's that were in their packet!
