Kyle Schulze - The Deaf Ninja Warrior
Thank you to the Gould family for sponsoring this wonderful presentation for our students! A 2-time competitor on season 9 and 10 of American Ninja Warrior, Kyle grew up in the Midwest, and took every opportunity he saw and made it fun. He explained to the SFX students how hard he works to showcase all of his abilities. Kyle has never felt that being deaf has limited his abilities in life! We can't wait to see what Kyle accomplishes next!
Sports Background:
- 15 years of Shotokan Black Belt Martial Art training
- A lifetime of soccer, including an adult league
- Dancing for 8 years
- High School Marching Band - Drumline
- High school sports including: Lacrosse, Track, Cross country and Wrestling
- Local Swim Team
Kyle's goa is making a positive impact upon others: Being a Ninja Warrior isn't all about glory and winning. Kyle explained that he wants to use his Ninja experience to help motivate others and to inspire people how to focus their energy to be the best they can be. Kyle has also tremendously enjoyed helping bring an awareness of the deaf culture. He aspires and strives to be a positive role model throughout his journey.

Field Trip payments through FACTS!
Charges for field trips have begun to show on some FACTS accounts. If you signed up for Auto Pay you’ll receive an email invoice from FACTS notifying you of the charge and the automatic payment date. Due dates will be set for 4 business days prior to the field trip. At the bottom of the email is an explanation of the charge, i.e. “Grade 2 Field Trip”. Those of you not on Auto Pay will receive the same invoice prompting you to go into your account to authorize payment on or before the due date.
The cost of each field trip will still be listed on the permission slip, however, we very much prefer if payment could be made through your FACTS account. Permission slips still have to be returned to the homeroom teachers.

PARENT ROSARY - SFX CHAPEL
THURSDAY, OCT 3, 2019 @ 8:15am
Each week, we pray for the SFX students, families, faculty and staff.
This week, we will specifically be praying for the 6th grade class. As always, bring your special intentions! And remember, if….
- You’ve never prayed a Rosary. (We’ll have a quick overview before we start the prayer.)
- It’s been a while, and you may have forgotten how. (We pray in a group… no one will know if, “under pressure,” you forget the Our Father!)
- You lost your rosary beads. (There are plenty of extra Rosary beads on-hand.)
- You don’t have enough time. (Start slow. Pray a decade or two with us. It’s typically 20 minutes.)
- Your little one(s) won’t sit still. (They are most welcome. There is room to wiggle. And kid-friendly activities are available.)
- You just want to start praying. (At first glance, the Rosary is simply a prayer asking for Mary’s prayers. We pray for SFX students, families, faculty and staff. Bring your special intentions. But, when we meditate on each mystery of Christ’s life, we learn that Mary is asking us to draw closer to her Son.)
Questions: contact Katie Kanzer k.f.kanzer@gmail.com or Karen Trayser karentrayser@yahoo.com.
