Stallions in the Spotlight

Accounting students and Business Club members took a field trip to Julian & Grube. The group spent time exploring Accounting career steps and opportunities. They concluded the field trip with mock interviews for internships.  







Congratulations to Max Freeman who was selected as the student of the month for the Westerville Rotary Club. 



Maddie Kleinhenz was featured in the Spring Dance concert entitled "unbroken" last weekend put on by the Parallel 40 Dance Collective in Dublin.

It was great having Bill Noble, SFD parent and CEO of West Point Optical Group, speak to our students about 'the five Es' to conclude our All-School Retreat on Ash Wednesday. The retreat was also a wonderful way to begin our Lenten journey. 



Casino Royale!

WHAT IS THE CASINO ROYALE RAFFLE TICKET?
We are asking all our families to participate in the upcoming Casino Royale fund raising event by selling Casino Royale Raffle tickets.  We are requesting that each student sell one book of 7 tickets. Each ticket is valued at $5 and a book of tickets will be sold at $30.  Families with multiple students (if unable to sell for each child) are asked to sell a minimum of one book.  All unsold raffle tickets are to be returned to homeroom teachers by Friday, March 24.  If a student does not turn in unsold tickets, they will be charged for the ticket.    
Drawing for the raffle ticket will take place on the night of the event, Saturday, April 8th. Grand Prize is $1,000, 2nd Prize is $500, and 3rd Prize is $250.  $100 will be given to the student seller of the Grand Prize ticket. Winner does not need to be present.    
SELLING DATES
Monday, March 13 - Friday, March 24
GOAL FOR THE CASINO RAFFLE TICKETS: $12,000
Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards a lunch time cafeteria database management system. Parents will have the ability to prepay for lunch so that the student will have the opportunity to purchase food by biometrics or card swiper.  
STUDENT INCENTIVES
Sell one book of tickets: students will get to dress down on Monday, March 13, Wednesday, March 15, Friday, March 17, Monday, March 20, and Wednesday, March 22.  The other days students will have in-uniform relaxed dress down with either a polo shirt with uniform pants, sweatshirt or cardigan over uniform, and tennis shoes. Friday, March 24 we will be in school uniform due to Grandparents Day. Students must wear the 'Casino' button that will be given out in homeroom once the raffle book is sold.

Daily Reflection 

Lord, please be patient with me. When I wonder when my turn will come for the peace of mind I seek, turn my thoughts to trust in You, who know my every need. Lord, please be patient with me. When even a moment seems too long for awaited news to come, may my greatest longing be that Your will be done. Lord, please be patient with me. When at times I might not be bothered, for other things seem pressing, please grant me Your help to use time as a precious blessing. Amen.
