Mrs. Jeni Boyle - welcome to Mrs. Boyle as our new Art Teacher!

Warm Greetings! I am Jeni Boyle, and I am so blessed to be joining Our Lady of Mount Carmel as the Visual Art teacher. I just finished my 18th year teaching art, with the last 15 of those at Our Lady of Grace and Nativity Catholic schools. I look forward to getting to know you and making beautiful art together that showcases your creativity and personalities. My husband and I have 3 children: two are in college (IUPUI and Ball State) and one at Cathedral High School. Our family is looking forward to traveling this summer: going to Alaska, the lake cottage in Kendallville, and on several college trips. I can’t wait to hear all about your summers as well when school starts in August. Have a fabulous and fun summer!

The Parish budget is in the process of being finalized. Report cards & Book Bills will be mailed in the next few weeks. Watch for an email with more detailed information soon.

The first half of the book bill payment will be due to the Church office on or before July 15, 2022.

Communication Survey:

Communication is an essential element of our faith and school. Jesus himself has called all of us to go out and spread the good news! In order to improve, we are asking that both mom and dad from all our school families take a few minutes to complete our communication survey. The results will be analyzed by our school council and communication sub-committee and then used to make improvements for next year. Thank you in advance for helping us by providing feedback in this area.

Benefits:

When asked about the benefits of volunteering together as a family, the participants identified several themes:

• Brings the family closer together

• Value system strengthened by volunteering; children see parents are involved

• Builds extended family among youth and other youth as well as youth and adults

• Get something back from volunteering; self-satisfaction; makes you feel good

• Strength in numbers; family gets more done than individual

• Benefits to youth—such as helps with job and college applications

• Children see how lucky they are

• Positive influence on the people they help

• Fun; social; gives children/youth something to do
