Dear Saint Rose Families,

   
Yesterday I was able to visit with our first grade students as they had an early Thanksgiving celebration.  They wore their own artistically created Wampanoag and pilgrim costumes.  They had a great time feasting on turkey, potatoes, corn and jello, which we all agreed was tasty but probably not part of the original Thanksgiving Day feast.  
I am thankful for your generous support of our canned food drive.  With your help, we are able to donated over 1,000 canned goods to Perrysburg Christians United and their food bank.  We had a spirited contest between our boys and girls. The girls led the entire contest, but at the last minute, the boys pulled ahead.  The boys will have an alternate dress day on Monday, November 28.  Congratulations to all of our students and families for their support of our canned food drive.  
I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.

Sincerely, 

Dr. Bryon Borgelt
Principal

  • Students without WI-Fi are responsible for calling a classmate for the assignment
  • The assignments will be posted online on Gradelink or through a direct teacher email.
  • All students must complete the work and the work must meet the standards and rigor of an in-class assignment.
  • Assignments will be directly linked to the current classroom curriculum.
  • Blizzard Bag day assignments will not be recorded as a test or a quiz.
  • Students may contact teachers through email with questions.
  • Teachers will check email each day and respond to emails daily. (Pending no emergencies)

Year of Mercy

Corporal Work of Mercy:   
Bury the Dead   
Spiritual Work of Mercy:   
Pray for the Living and the Dead

While this Extraordinary Year of Mercy officially ends on November 20, Saint Rose School will continue to celebrate the works of mercy through Lent.  

As a service project this month, buddy classes are meeting to decorate place mats to be used at the Saint Rose Church funeral lunches.   This is a wonderful way for us to pray for the living and dead and help with the funeral and burial process.

SNEAK PREVIEW FOR  DECEMBER:

December's corporal work of mercy is Clothe the Naked.  Our charity will be Heartbeat which is a pro-life agency that assists women in crisis pregnancies. 

We are asking for donations of items for Heartbeat, especially Baby Clothes (sized 0-2T).   Black Friday sales often have good prices on baby items so we are notifying you now of next month's charity.     We will collect those donations during the week of December 12.   Thank you for your generosity.

November Charity:  November's donations from alternate dress and Mass collections will be used to start a fund to help with burial expenses at the Saint Rose Cemetery for those with financial difficulties.  Deacon Charlie McDaniel will work with the Student Council to organize and name the fund. 


8th Grade Service Project
 
(L-R) Anna Harbauer, Anna Busse,   Gabrialle Ravas, Claire Hoyt
Motivated by their faith and a recent interview with Lucas County Common Pleas Judge, Gene Zmuda, four Saint Rose 8th grade girls have decided to address the issue of Capital Punishment as a part of their service learning project. The girls will begin by writing letters to legislators to encourage the abolishing of the death penalty. They are also promoting the online funding campaign of Sister Helen Prejean' s Ministry Against the Death Penalty. Sister Helen is famous for her ministry with both those on death row and the victims of capital crimes. The book and movie, Dead Man Walking, illustrate her work and ministry. 

Please consider helping the girls in their service by making online purchases. By doing so, a percentage of the purchase will go to Sister Helen's charity.

Here's how to help: 
  • Visit  http://smile.amazon.com/
  • Log in using your current Amazon account.
  • Type Ministry Against the Death Penalty in the charitable organization 'Search' box and then select 'Congregation of St. Joseph Ministry Against the Death Penalty'
  • Do your shopping as usual, now using the Amazon Smile account
The girls truly hope to make an impact by their actions and by encouraging others to act, as well.
Thank you!
