We are so excited to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2024, and those celebrations are just beginning!

 

Graduation Practice - Graduation practice is mandatory and will be held in the Main Gym at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21. Please meet in the Main Gym starting at 9:15 a.m. After practice, Fenwick will provide lunch for the seniors following practice. Seniors will also receive their graduation yard sign at practice.


Baccalaureate Mass/Senior Banquet - Baccalaureate Mass will be held at St. Maximillian Kolbe Church at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22. Seniors should arrive by 4:25 p.m.


Parents and other guests are invited to sit in sections 2, 5, and 8-13 of the church. Please see the diagram below. There will be handicapped seating in the front pews of sections 5 and 2 and the back pews of sections 10 and 11.


The Mass will be livestreamed for those unable to attend. The stream is scheduled to start at 4:55 p.m. and will end at 6:15 p.m.


The Senior Banquet follows Mass at the Savannah Center at 6:30 p.m.



Graduation Pictures - The entire Fenwick campus will be open on Friday, May 24 at 12:00 p.m. for students and families to get pictures. The school building and athletic fields will be available for pictures, including photo backdrops and props. The campus will remain open until 9:00 p.m.

The ceremony will be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person. The link will also be available on our website next week.



Senior Surface Pro Devices


Seniors must turn in their Surface Pro devices after school on May 16 or after graduation practice on May 21. All senior devices must be turned in by May 21 to avoid charges. Devices will NOT be collected at any other time for senior students. All accessories must be included with the device on these two designated dates—power supply, stylus, UAG case, and carrying case. Missing items and damages will be noted and fees will apply.  


Once again, seniors do have the opportunity to retain their Surface Pro devices for $200. Please click here for more information. If you wish to purchase the device, click here for the Transfer of Ownership form.

Senior Lunch


Thanks to all the senior parents who made donations for our Senior Lunch! What a beautiful day to celebrate the Class of 2024!

Class of 2025

Fenwick requires that at least the formal senior picture be taken with Easterling Studios so that it can be included in our class composite photo that will be displayed in the school. Please see the flyer below for information on how to avoid a sitting fee for the photo, as well as other session specials.

Admissions Information

Prospective Students


We continue to welcome prospective students to campus for different events. If you know a family interested in learning more about Fenwick, please encourage them to contact Director of Admissions Chris Kemper via phone at 513-428-0525 or email at ckemper@fenwickfalcons.org.


Fenwick Faith Formation

Summer Service Opportunities


Mrs. Baumaster is still cooking at Hope House over the summer. Sign up to help prepare the meal here. Gold hours are earned with this opportunity. 

 

"Jesus is Here" Event! 

 

On July 6th, Campus Ministry would like to take a group of students to an event in downtown Cincinnati for the Eucharistic pilgrimage. "Jesus is Here" at Fountain Square will begin with Holy Hour – Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, praise and worship music by Damascus Worship, a Eucharistic reflection by Father Jacob Lindle, and Benediction. Priests will be available for confession. Following Holy Hour, the festival will feature a concert by popular contemporary Christian artist Jervis Campbell. Games, food trucks, and activities will be available during this family-friendly celebration! This is an amazing opportunity to grow in your faith as a family and come together as a community. We hope to see you there! If you are interested in attending with us, please fill out this form. Click here for more details about the event.

 

Service Hours


Service hours for the second semester are due by 11:00 p.m. on Friday, May 10th. If you have not completed and submitted your hours on x2vol, you will be getting an email early next week notifying you that your hours are incomplete. Students will have a week from the time they receive the email to turn their hours in before the consequences begin. The repercussions are an incomplete grade in Theology for the semester and ineligibility for all Fenwick extracurriculars. 


If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Miss Laake in Campus Ministry.

Counseling Connections

Flock Block with the Counselors


Counselors finished off the year with their sophomores. The students were asked to complete an end of year survey for their counselor and were reminded about resources available to them in the class notebook. These resources help with exam preparation and their college search.


Reminder


Counselors do not work during the summer months. We do check email periodically. We will hit the ground running on Monday, August 5, 2024.


Job Opportunities


Pathways for students and recent graduates to federal careers at Wright Patterson Air Force Base:


Class of 2024

 

Final transcripts will be sent to your college and the NCAA the first week in June after report cards are processed. No need to request these from your counselor.

 

Class of 2025

             

A reminder to SAVE THE DATE for the COLLEGE APPLICATION WORKSHOP on Sunday, August 11, 2024, from 2-4 p.m. in Fenwick’s media center. This is for students only. Counselors will be available to support the students with completing their applications. Information will be emailed home in early August that will assist with this task. Take advantage of this opportunity before the school year begins.

 

Mental Wellness Tip


As this is the last entry the counselors will submit to the Fenwick Features for the 2023-2024 school year, we thought it would be helpful to remind our readers about the power of resiliency. As our Sources of Strength peer leaders are practicing and preaching, commit to relying on your STRENGTHS and SUPPORTS rather than focusing on your downfalls and deficits. Look to those Family Supports, Positive Friends, Mentors, Healthy Activities, and the positive power of Generosity, Spirituality, Physical Health, and Mental Health to lift you up, help you persevere, and to thrive during the summer months. 

Counselor Information


As a reminder, our counselor breakdown is:

Fenwick Parent Association

Used Uniform Sale


Do you have school uniforms/spirit wear that doesn’t fit? Are you graduating and no longer need your school uniforms and spirit wear?

 

We are looking for gently-used regulation uniforms and spirit wear for our used uniform sale which will be held later this summer. To donate, just send them to school with your student or drop them off any school day between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. There will be a marked bin in the front foyer by the main entrance where you can place the uniforms/spirit wear.
