YARD SIGNS ARE HERE! If you would like a yard sign to promote the Open House, or if you know someone who does, stop by the Advancement office, or have your student stop by, to pick one up. GAME DAY DESIGN Our talented Art Teacher, Katie VonHandorf, created a game day design that the Cincinnati Bengals selected for the game against Buffalo on November 5th. The Bengals share an artist's design for every game on their social media pages. Katie's design was submitted as a sketch to be approved by the Bengals, and then went through various rounds of feedback to adjust the design. This is Katie's first digital piece, and she is excited that she got the opportunity to design something for her favorite team!

There's too much work to do." - Dorothy Day Mary Rose Mission The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati Grandparent Masses Please invite grandparents (or grandparent figures) to the annual grandparent Mass(es)!
