Finally, we give a special shout out to our faculty during this Teacher Appreciation Week. They've enjoyed many special treats this week planned by Dr. Patricia Hanna and a team of staff members. We've encouraged students to express their appreciation as well. If you would like to reach out to a particular teacher or staff member to express your appreciation, you can find email contact information here.

 

For planning purposes, please see the draft color-coded calendar for the 2022-2023 school year.

Senior Capstone presentations began during Mentor Group this week and continue through next week. This is a culminating project for all seniors at Bishop Hartley. Work began first quarter in English classes and continued throughout the year in both religion and government classes. The final projects pulls all three elements together for a presentation. Students researched a social justice issue of importance to them and formulated questions they would like to research. Through their research, they considered both religious and governmental aspects and implications. They were also required to complete a 2-hour service project related to their topic. The topics are varied, and the presentations impressive. Please ask a senior about their project!

Mrs. Verdi’s Sacred Heart Mentor Group has been spreading positive messages throughout the building with locker signs of encouragement. They started in C-wing and have worked their way through the building.

Mrs. Maloof’s Honors English 10 classes are currently reading Salt in My Soul: An Unfinished Life by Mallory Smith. It is the journal of a young woman with Cystic Fibrosis. In addition to learning about the diary genre, and an opportunity to explore subjects mentioned in the book more fully after they read, students are learning from the experiences of someone with a chronic illness. Mallory’ s words, “I need to be happy or I’ll never be healthy, mentally or physically” led to a discussion of the role music plays in cheering us and an impromptu “Just Dance” session using the Pharrell Williams song, “Happy.”

Please email Mrs. Klein with any questions.

All Junior Parents - Please remember to schedule your students for their second Meningococcal vaccine this summer. All seniors are required to have this vaccination by the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. If your student has already had the vaccine, you are welcome to send a copy to school nurse, Greer Edwards, now. 

Any student with medication at school must pick it up before the last day of final exams. If the medications are not picked up, they will be discarded. If your student will require medication during the 2022-2023 school year, new Medication Administration orders will need to be completed and signed by a physician. Forms can be found in the Nurse's Notes on the Bishop Hartley website.
