Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that June has come and gone so quickly. The campus has by no means slowed down.
We continue to prepare the school for the next year. Classrooms are being painted; floors are being redone and new technology is being added in some areas. In addition to this, we also prepare for next year by looking at how we can continue to enhance our Catholic Identity not only within our school community but in our wider community. This past year we established a Catholic Identity Task Force. We meet to evaluate our current programs as it pertains to our faith development. We recently met to identify a school theme that we can focus on for the entire year. This year’s theme will focus on Kindness and Empathy. Pope Francis, in his audience talk, tells us that “we must demonstrate kindness not just in thought but deeds.” There is a book that I would invite you to read that might help to better understand our theme. It is titled
Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World
by Dr. Michele Borba. This book is available at most online outlets.
As parents who have students in our school, you use financial resources to give your students an excellent education. Providing spiritual resources is equally important for our students. One way to do this is to attend Mass with them at your Parish.
Continue to enjoy the summer with your students. Please let me know if you need anything from us.
God Bless,
Mr. Hoy
“Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind, the second is to be kind and the third is to be kind.” ---Mother Teresa

Dear Families,
It is hard to believe that we are almost in July! I am hopeful that everyone has been enjoying the beautiful weather and taken a moment to enjoy some family time together.
This summer has been filled with busy days. Between summer school, school projects/renovations, the installation of a new and improved wireless network, department meetings focusing on curriculum, and preparation for the 2018 – 2019 school year, things have not slowed down as we get ready for another fantastic year at Cardinal Ritter High School. I am beyond excited for this year’s senior class and what they will bring to the table as the student leaders of the school and feel absolutely blessed with the opportunity to help mold and educate students in the likeness of Christ.
As a reminder, moratorium week starts on July 2, and as such, there will be no practices or communication between athletes and coaches.
I wish everyone a Happy Independence Day and stay safe.
God Bless,
Steven Pelych

Summer Composition students held a Socratic seminar over the morality of Blackfish, a documentary about Sea World’s treatment of orcas.

To differentiate between persuasive and argumentative writing techniques and learn to avoid bias in their writing, rising freshmen in the Summer Composition course created their own commercials to sell an item of their invention or choosing using ethos, pathos, and logos within the video.

Class of 2019 Hepatitis A & Meningitis Immunization Requirements
Attention Class of 2019! The State of Indiana has a new immunization requirement that states all students in the 12th grade MUST
have a booster Meningococcal vaccination (MCV4, Menactra, or Menveo) and a 2 dose series of Hepatitis A immunization (doses must be at least 6 months apart)
.
These vaccines
are required for high school entry
. This prevents Meningitis outbreaks in college dorms. If you had your first shot of MCV4 at age 16 or older, the booster shot is not required. Please note there is also a 2 dose series of Meningoccal B strain which is NOT required but recommended
.
The Cardinal Ritter clinic needs you to get this
done before next August OR provide documentation as having already completed this requirement
.
Thanks for your cooperation and let
Nurse Feltz
know if you have any questions. Click
here
to view the 2018-2019 school year immunization requirements.
