Greetings!
As the 2018-2019 school year comes to an end, we reflect on the resilience of the Dayton community as we come together to support those affected by the Memorial Day tornadoes. As your family begins their summer break, we offer for your consideration supporting CJ partner organizations that are working to aid those in need including:
- The Foodbank, Inc. (in need of bottled water and volunteers — learn more here)
- The Community Blood Center (in need of blood, especially O positive — learn more here)
- St. Vincent de Paul (accepting donations at their donation center — 120 W. Apple St.)
We also take this time to reflect on the accomplishments of our school community over this past school year including:
- students completing more than 8,500 hours of service over and above their school requirement;
- four students named National Merit Scholars including one National Merit Finalist;
- trips to state competitions for our swimming, wrestling, and track teams;
- performing arts students recognized for their accomplishments on local and regional stages;
- students named winners in the national Scholastic Art & Writing Awards;
- faculty and staff presenting in national forums including those for National Catholic Educators Association, National Conference of Teachers of English and National Science Teacher Association; and,
- the completion of the school’s elevator connecting the first and second floor near the Ludlow Street entrance.
Thank you for sharing your child with us this past school year and to all those who continue to support the mission of CJ. Because of you, we are able to provide an excellent Catholic education to the future leaders of tomorrow.
We wish you all a safe and happy summer.
