Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Families,
September is a month full of excitement, celebration, and activities. This past week, we were able to celebrate the seniors on our boys and girls soccer teams (both of which came up with big wins), send a group of seniors and staff members on their senior retreat, send a group of sophomores on a college visit to Dayton, and get progress reports out to parents indicating the mid-way point of the 1st quarter. While it's difficult to believe, we are already 1/8 of the way through the school year! Where has the time gone?
Please take a moment to review progress reports with your scholars and do not hesitate to reach out to staff members with any questions that you may have. As a reminder, all teachers have tutoring hours posted outside of their classrooms and hold tutoring for a minimum of 45 minutes each week. Please take advantage of these hours if needed!
Next week, our 7th - 9th grade students will have the opportunity to participate in their first day of service. This experience will surely be enriching and reinforce the message we share with students regarding the importance of giving back to the community.
Homecoming is just around the corner on October 5. Our Student Council is busy preparing themes, activities, and opportunities for our student body to show their Raider pride -- we'd love to see a full fan section from our parents/alumni as well! I also encourage anyone who has yet to sign-up for the annual Cardinal Ritter Golf Outing to do so as there are only a couple of spots left.
As always, I thank you for the opportunity to work with your scholars on a daily basis -- it is a true blessing.
God Bless,
Steven Pelych
