Important news this week! |

Hello, parents and guardians:
Although COVID guidelines are not changing at this time, we urge parents and guardians to monitor the symptoms of their children who attend Elyria Catholic. At the time of this writing, we have nine students who have symptoms of COVID, and we are awaiting COVID test results from students who had been ill before today.
Please partner with us in supporting the following guidelines:
- Please do not allow children who feel ill to attend school. We realize that some students begin to feel ill during the school day.
- If your student is not vaccinated, please direct them to wear a mask while in school.
- Many vaccinated students, faculty, and staff will electively wear a mask with the increased spread of the Delta Variant.
-
Students who are exposed to the virus will not need to be quarantined from school or extracurricular activities if they are fully vaccinated or if they wore a mask during the exposure.
Families and students who take these precautions will decrease the likelihood of a quarantine or potential infection that prevents them from attending school and extracurricular activities.
We can enjoy a near-normal school year if we follow the Ohio Department of Health guidelines. As always, we will continue to report positive cases to the community so that you are informed.
Sincerely,
Annie Heidersbach, President
Suzanne Lester, Principal

Celebration in Dan Reaser Stadium
Thank you to everyone who came out on Friday, August 27, to celebrate the opening of Dan Reaser Stadium. Dan Reaser ‘78, his wife Mila, son Danny ‘11, daughter Shannon ‘15, and President Annie Heidersbach cut the ribbon on our new synthetic turf field. Other members of the Reaser Family on the ribbon line included Danny’s wife, Bailey Reaser ‘06, Danny’s sons Beau and Hudson, Shannon’s husband, Kyle Brown, and Dan’s brother, Tony Reaser ‘81. Suzanne Lester, Principal, Dr. Frank O’Linn, Superintendent of the Diocese of Cleveland, and Father Frank Kosem, former Pastor of St. Jude Parish, were also on the ribbon line. Over 150 people attended the celebration reception and free foam paws and popcorn were given to 300 fans. The Elyria Catholic Panthers emerged from the field house and onto the field through a new twenty-five foot Panther head and a plane flew overhead for the first 15 minutes of the game proclaiming Thank You! Loyalty that Never Dies! The Panthers finished the celebration off with a 68 to 42 win over Sandusky Perkins!
