Dear Saint Rose Families, 

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 7th grade class trip to The Ohio State University's Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island in Lake Erie.  While I was there, immersed in all things science, I found out the good news about Saint Rose receiving The Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education and Student Research.  Saint Rose and Ottawa Hills are the only two schools in the Toledo metropolitan area that have received this award for the past three years.  

The criteria for the Thomas Edison Award for Excellence are: (1) Conduct a local science fair with 12 or more students and have two or more of these students participate in the District Science Day (2) Students must participate in at least one more youth science opportunity beyond the classroom. 

Congratulations again to our teachers, families and parents for achieving this distinction!

Sincerely,

Dr. Borgelt

Statement from Bishop Daniel E. Thomas

The inclusion of Issue #1 for a vote on the November ballot should alarm us all because of its profound disregard for human life, for the health and safety of women, and for the rights of parents. Make no mistake this amendment would not only enshrine abortion into the Ohio Constitution but take it to its furthest extreme by placing women at risk in an unregulated abortion environment, undermining the right of parents to know if their young children are having abortions or medical treatments contrary to their beliefs, and permitting late-term abortions, even up to birth.

This horrific amendment should compel all of us to reject it on the grounds of its complete disrespect for human life, its disrespect for the women of Ohio, its disrespect for parents and their rights, and its disrespect for a baby about to be born. I hope, pray, and encourage all people to VOTE NO on Issue #1 in November.

Saint Rose School Vintage Wear!

Prior to our famous pirate, the Saint Rose School mascot was an energetic and spunky bear as pictured here. Known as the Saint Rose School Yogi's, Saint Rose School students in the 1960's wore these sweatshirts and also bear-shaped pins to all of their basketball games. This is a limited time offer to purchase a throwback sweatshirt or t-shirt and they are uniform-approved for gym days and spirit wear days.

7th Grade

Students from the Saint Rose 7th grade class recently traveled to The Ohio State University's Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island for a two day overnight trip to learn more about the science and history of the Lake Erie Islands. A stop at the Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial provided a history of Oliver Hazard Perry's naval victory over the British in the War of 1812. Stone Lab provided two days of hands-on science instruction, including water samples, fishing, macro and micro invertebrates studies, lessons on invasive species and much more. Finally, the class stopped at the Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church for a brief history and tour.
