Hello Loyola parents,
The Minnesota weather continues to challenge us; we certainly look forward to those warm, spring days when these snow days and late starts will be a distant memory!
Today we held a short assembly for our 7-12 grade students to introduce a new process for students to feel supported and heard. The
Diocese of Winona-Rochester has provided an App for our 7-12 grade students to use to report concerns called STOPit. Concerns may include: bullying, cyberbullying or cyber abuse, harassment, violence, threats, or weapons possession, alcohol or drug related issues, hazing, discrimination and ethics violations such as cheating or plagiarism. This App is a completely anonymous way for students to report these concerns.
Please read
this flyer and watch the short video below to learn more, and then take some time to talk with your child about the App, and decide together if this is a tool that might be helpful for your child. The STOPit App can be downloaded from your Google or Apple store- search
STOPit App, anonymous incident reporting. The access code is
MankatoLoyola145. Thank you for working together to make Loyola the most supportive and safest place for everyone it can be.
Just a reminder for a couple of upcoming events: Rescheduled State of the School Address will be held on Tuesday, February 12 at 7pm. If you have any questions you would like to submit before the meeting, please click here.
The rescheduled Catholic Schools Week Mass will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 1pm in Loyola's chapel. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
Have a great weekend,
Kevin Elton
Assistant Principal

SHARE THE LOVE! Catholic Schools Week Service Project
During Catholic Schools Week, our school was going to collect donations for REACH, but four snow days dwindled the donations!
The REACH Drop-In Center supports youth, ages 16-20, who are at-risk, experiencing homelessness or have run away. Since opening its doors in 2011, The REACH has served more than 4,000 youth in the Mankato area. The donations needed at this time are:
-full size personal hygiene items (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.)
-non-perishable snacks (boxes of granola bars, fruit snacks, etc)
-socks
-gloves
We will have a special box by the entrance of the Chapel on Wednesday, 2/13. As you enter for the Catholic Schools Week Mass, please drop off your donations. Items can also be sent with students until Friday, 2/15.
SPRING ENRICHMENT AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES
The "Loyola After School Enrichment Classes and Events" Spring edition booklet is filled with after school class descriptions, registration instructions and Spring events. We have expanded the offerings and hope your child finds something of interest. The registration process is included in the booklet and I encourage you to sign up early as many classes will fill up quickly. Click

"Loyola Summer Enrichment Classes and Camps" will be offered at Loyola this year and we anticipate the release of that booklet with registration by early March. We hope to keep the Hill active this summer with learning and playing!
