Stallions in the Spotlight

Last week members of our faculty and staff stopped by school to surprise Mr. Rob Dvorak with the news that he was voted by his peers as our second 2023 Excellence in Teaching Award recipient. Ms. Wilson (pictured with Mr. Dvorak) was also a recipient this year, with her announcement taking place in May.

Congratulations Mr. Dvorak!

Senior Spirit Day

Class of 2024: We hope you are excited to kick off the 2023-24 school year with Senior Spirit Day! This is a special day to celebrate you and your classmates as you plan for the upcoming year and beyond.

Senior Spirit Day will take place on Tuesday, August 8th. Students should arrive promptly at 2:00pm for check-in and bring their iPad. All members of the Class of 2024 are required to attend Senior Spirit Day. You must notify Mr. Jones directly if you are not able to attend due to a vacation. Seniors will be provided with a snack during the event.

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to join their senior at 5:30pm in the school gymnasium for a prayer service. Following the prayer service, the SFD school counselors will present their annual senior parent college meeting. We ask that parents/guardians complete the RSVP form to confirm your attendance: RSVP Here!

PARENTS, in order for the counselors to prepare for the upcoming college application season, we are requesting that you complete this Parent BRAG Sheet. This is an opportunity for you to share about the strengths and accomplishments of your student. Your unique perspective is valued and helpful as we write letters of recommendation. Please complete and submit this electronically at your earliest convenience. We have hard copies available upon request.

We look forward to seeing students and parents on August 8th! Please reach out to the school with any questions.

For all returning families, HR Imaging is our school's new photography company.

Eucharistic Adoration

We are happy to announce that Eucharistic Adoration will begin this school year on Friday, September 1st. Eucharistic Adoration is one of the best and easiest ways you can support the mission of the school!

As in years past, Eucharistic Adoration will be held in the chapel beginning with Mass at 7:00 a.m. followed by Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament throughout the school day. The devotion will conclude with Benediction at approximately 2:40 p.m.

Parents: Sign up here to join us this year for Eucharistic Adoration.

Nurse's Notes

All Class of 2024 students are required to submit verification of a second dose of the Meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY) vaccine prior to the start of their senior year. It is a requirement for all incoming seniors in Ohio. Families can email the verification information to school nurse Kelli Fitzpatrick at fitzpatrick@desales.co or bring in a hard copy to school.
