Stallions in the Spotlight
Our Digital Photography I classes enjoyed a beautiful (warm!) day last week at the Columbus Zoo. Students spent several hours taking pictures of the animals and their habitats.
Members of the Stallions for Life Club volunteered to assist with registration of guests for the Pregnancy Decision Health Centers annual banquet held at Villa Milano on Thursday, September 20
th
.
Last week we held our first ever Service Fair, which helped inform students of opportunities on how to get involved in our school and in the community!
Senior Madison Salyer is volunteering every Monday during her lunch period for the Read with a Stallion program at Saint Anthony School. Madison is a graduate of Saint Anthony (shout-out to her younger sister, Jessica, who is a 7th grader at the school).
Our Child Development classes were honored to have Dr. Heidi Arbona OBGYN come in to speak about her vocation and answer students' questions. Students gained valuable information from the perspective of a labor and delivery doctor and were truly inspired by Dr. Arbona's passion for which she serves her patients. Thank you Dr. Arbona!
The Child Development classes also welcomed Emerson (18 mo.) and CeCe (2.5 yrs) as part of a 6-week program where students get a hands-on experience and application of the various areas and stages of development.
Thank you to senior Noah Thompson for designing this year's SFD vs. Watterson t-shirt! Students are able to purchase a t-shirt beginning next Monday during lunch periods. Sales will continue until we run out of t-shirts. They are $10; all students who purchase a t-shirt will be able to wear them to school next Friday, October 26.
Congrats to the Seniors for winning our annual Deck the Halls competition, which kicked off Spirit Week last week!

French Exchange Program Looking for Host Families
We are in need of families who would be willing to host a student from
Institution Saint Joseph, our sister school in Normandy, France,
during our annual French Exchange program for two weeks in February
(February 9-23, subject to adjustment)
. There is no fee associated with hosting a French Exchange student, all that needs to be provided is a place to stay, meals with your family and a sack lunch on most days. The Exchange students will report each day to DeSales with your current student and depart with them at the end of the day.
They will visit DeSales classes and go to cultural, educational, historical, sports and entertainment venues in and around Columbus.
Please contact Mrs. Heather Evans if you are interested in hosting a student at
evans@desales.co or your student can see her in room 121 to receive the necessary paperwork.

We ask all this in the name of Jesus.
