TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

Geometry students are learning about the properties of triangles by creating unique artwork out of triangles! Triangles can be used to create a variety of things, including bridges and roadways, but in class this week, we learned they can also be used to create elephants and giraffes too! Our students got inventive and created a variety of awesome images!!

• The exterior windows and doors have been labeled in accordance with NIMS (National Incident Management System) recommendations. This helps emergency responders navigate the building and access students quickly in an emergency.
• Some changes have been made to the daily routines within the school to increase student safety. This is based on what has been learned through analyzing past school critical incidents. 
• During Red Ribbon Week, guests from the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force presented a drug awareness program. These officers shared real-life experiences on current drug trends and their dangers.
• Expect more traffic issues as construction on Donaldson Highway shifts in the upcoming weeks/months. We will email you as we learn more about the changes. 
  • We ask for your continued patience. Also, set a good example for your teens by putting your phones down and paying attention. This will help expedite your time in the parking lot and prevent accidents.

Thank you for allowing me to be here with your students!
Go CRU!

CRUSADER OF THE WEEK 

Mrs. Vaillancourt nominates Sophomore Michael Bischoff for Crusader of the Week for Honors Geometry.

"Michael started the year out in CP Geometry and early in the year requested to be moved up to honors for more of a challenge.  Michael has continued to push himself every week to maintain the rigor of an honors-level class.  He works well with others, participates in class discussions, and pushes himself to be the best he can be daily.  Congratulations, Michael, for maintaining your streak!!!  You are a pleasure to have in class."

Mr. Otte nominates Freshman Jackson Auer for Crusader of the Week for Biology Honors.

"Jackson is an outstanding student who excels both in the classroom and in the laboratory. He always has a great attitude and work ethic and contributes to class either by answering questions, going to the board, or adding to discussions. Congratulations, Jackson, and keep up the great work."

Introducing the Tuesday for Teachers Initiative

This Thanksgiving season, we’re counting our blessings—and at the heart of our gratitude are the remarkable teachers who make St. Henry District High School a place of learning, growth, and faith. As a token of appreciation for their tireless dedication, we are excited to introduce Tuesday for Teachers, a new initiative designed to celebrate and support our faculty.

What is Tuesday for Teachers?
Launching on Giving Tuesday, Tuesday for Teachers will establish a Teacher Incentive Fund to enhance teacher appreciation and retention. This fund will provide resources for:

• Bonuses to reward excellence.
• Holiday gifts that bring extra cheer.
• Awards and incentives to recognize outstanding achievements.
• Grants and professional development opportunities to foster growth.
• Classroom supplies to enrich the learning environment.
• Wellness programs to nurture our teachers' well-being.

With your help, our goal is to raise $10,000 to jumpstart this initiative. To make this vision a reality, a generous donor has pledged to match every donation dollar for dollar up to $10,000 on Giving Tuesday!

How You Can Help
Join us on Giving Tuesday, December 3, and make a gift to the Tuesday for Teachers fund. Regardless of size, every donation will directly support the incredible educators who inspire our students daily.

To sustain this effort, we’ll also spotlight our teachers and departments each month in our Tuesday for Teachers campaign. Stay tuned for stories that show the impact of your generosity.

Together, let’s show our teachers how much they mean to the SHDHS community. Thank you for participating in this mission to celebrate, uplift, and retain our amazing faculty.
