Stallions in the Spotlight
Mr. Montenaro's Law class recently visited the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. Judge Cocroft, a Bishop Hartley alum, welcomed the students, along with Mr. Montenaro and Mr. Baker to her courtroom.
Congratulations to Gabrielle Elliott and Domenica Cua who were selected to play in the Central District Division I Soccer All-star game last month!
Elias and Solomon Grayson recently provided the Corporate prayer and the youth message at Mount Calvary Holy Church. It is wonderful to see our students living their faith.
The Design Principles class took on a different kind of challenge for the holiday - to create a structure out of all white and clear Lego bricks that depicted "Holiday Greetings from Outer Space." The sculpture was a test of design by consensus and patience as the twelve students built their 25" Christmas tree rocket and a Santa space sleigh flying over the space colony neighborhood delivering presents. The project is one of 15 to be displayed at the Center of Architecture and Design downtown in the Lazarus Department Store windows through the month of December. Special thanks to Triad Architects for sponsoring the entry to the event.
Last Monday it was announced that senior Madison Salyer was chosen as the 2nd & 7 Foundation's Student-Athlete of the Week. Madison earned this recognition due to her participation in the Read with a Stallion Program, which is also a partner of the 2nd & 7 Foundation. Madison shared, "When I was a student at St. Anthony School it was instilled in me that serving my community and giving back was a way of life. As a senior at St. Francis DeSales High School, that message has not changed. When I was approached about the Read with a Stallion Program that has partnered with 2nd & 7, I jumped at the chance to give back to a community that was so good to me. I love reading the Hog Mollies books and getting to know the students, and I am honored to say that I am a part of these wonderful programs."
Members of the Environmental Club recently attended the 2018 Teen Eco Summit at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The DeSales Eco Team spent two days at the zoo attending workshops, hearing guest speakers, and exploring behind the scenes to find creative ways to make our school community more eco-friendly. The students developed a conservation plan which will be shared in 2019. A special thanks to Ms. Syring for accompanying the team as chaperone and adviser.
Juniors Mara Montoya and Anya Vanasdale attended the See Kids Dream organization's Student Leader event last month to capture stories of their young leaders as a part of a school project in which they put together a beautifully crafted video.
The DeSales Gaming Club recently hosted their first official tournament against Watterson. 20 students from DeSales participated in team battles against a group of students from Watterson in a game of Super Smash Bothers. DeSales was victorious with a score of 58-38. The schools are planning to meet again for more games of friendly competition.
Annie Hazelton, Lauren Johnson, and Paula Clark volunteered at the Delaware County Youth at the Booth, seeing first-hand Democracy in action.
Today, students from Homeroom 108, Homeroom 122, and the National Honor Society helped drop off canned goods to the food pantries at St. James the Less and St. Stephen's Community House. We collected canned goods over the last several weeks, reaching over 140% of our school goal, not to mention the substantial donation made by students and parishioners at St. Matthias! Thanks to all who contributed.
Mr. Ulry visited the 7th and 8th graders at St. Anthony School to talk about the Holocaust, sharing his knowledge with these students through the Feeder School Outreach program.
