We are fast approaching the end of another school year. God has blessed us with students who want to learn and grow in their faith and dedicated teachers who have taught and guided them. We do believe that every one of our students has a special gift which is brought to our community. Thank you, parents, for entrusting your children to us and for your generous service and support in the many activities and events. May God bless you during the summer days.

MRS. PAT FROST GRADE 4 TEACHER Since the beginning of January, Mr. and Mrs. Frost have been battling cancer. We continue to pray for them daily, asking God to give them healing and peace. Their faith and trust in God through this difficult time has been a powerful witness to all of us. At the end of this school year Mrs. Frost has decided to retire after a wonderful teaching career at St. Jude for 33 ½ years. Thank you, Mrs. Frost, for your tremendous love and compassion for the students. We will always remember you as a prayerful, caring and wise woman. God bless you!

GUYS CLUB IS A SUCCESS! This semester, we offered a Guys Club open to all 4th grade boys. We met weekly at lunch time for 7 weeks working on skill building and friendship building activities. The group was based on the BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring group book. Each meeting involved a talking/sharing activity and a physical activity, such as walking on (paper) alligator heads, crossing an electric fence (made from t-ball tees and jump rope), and “Willow in the Wind” which is a very safe version of a trust fall activity. The boys loved the activities and showed some improvement in their interactions with others in the club. Our final meeting involved a “Treasure Hunt” type of activity that had verbal and physical activities and ended with a pizza party.

To make the Guys Club more male oriented, I had male co-leaders each week. These male co-leaders were Fr. Tom, Kevin Jefferson (Coach J), Bob Panza, and John Offerle. They were a great help and the boys enjoyed hearing their stories.

I am hoping to offer the group again next year to a new group of boys. All of the boys in this year’s Guys Club were awesome and I really enjoyed working with them!

Mrs. Howe, Counselor

FROM OUR SCHOOL NURSES If you received a referral from the school nurses for your child’s hearing or vision please be sure to provide feedback to them regarding the outcome of any action you took. If you could return the referral form with the physician’s comments/feedback on it but if you can’t find that, a written note with your feedback or an email sent to rdeininger@sf.edu would be greatly appreciated. The feedback is required for us to provide our end of the school year report to the Indiana Department of Education. Thanks! Rita Deininger MS, RN DISTINGUISHED STUDENTS Each year the Allen County Non-Public School Associate honors two outstanding students from each of its member

received this honor. These students were selected by their teachers for their outstanding scholarship, leadership, and Christian example. The awards were presented at a breakfast ceremony. We congratulate these students on their accomplishments and wish them continued success in their future endeavors in high school. SCHOOL BOARD I thank the School Board members for their generosity this past year in assisting Fr. Tom, and me. The Board is consultative to both of us. In order to provide the best possible Catholic education for your children, we encourage you to share your ideas with any School Board member, Fr. Tom or me. We can then incorporate your ideas in our work on School Board. Agenda planning takes place two weeks prior to the Board meeting. The following will serve on the 2013-2014 School Board: Fr. Tom, Sr. Kathleen, Kurt Beuchel, Beth Shanebrook, Steve Yaggy, Rob Henry, Maria Odle, Susan Schenkel, Bob Bergeron and Michelle Kraus. We are grateful for the generous contributions of Shannon Getty and Jane Terrell who will no longer be serving on the board.

SUMMER WORKBOOKS This summer, the faculty and administration would like to see students doing some work on a regular basis to help them maintain their basic skills. United Arts and Education has a number of workbooks from which to choose. Parents may want to choose a workbook that reviews math and language arts, or they may choose one of the subjects depending on the need of their child. The workbook “Summer Bridges Activities” is one recommendation. In the fall the teachers will collect workbooks and students who have completed them will be given a dress down day and pizza party. If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Buckel at school.

May 28th.

In an attempt to accommodate our KidMail SCRIP customers over the summer, we will be extending our Wednesday evening hours beginning June 4, 2013. Don’t forget (or don’t

panic!), we will continue our Thursday morning sales and the 2nd and 4th Sunday weekend sales over the summer. Please refer to our sales hour section on the reverse side of this newsletter. SCRIP order forms are available on line at Stjudefw.org. Please check periodically to make sure you have a current form and disregard old order forms, as they contribute to confusion and mistakes. We have had an overwhelming amount of notes/scrap paper being used to place SCRIP orders. Unfortunately, these pieces of paper of varying sizes can be easily lost. An order form is your validation of purchase for year-end questions about your account balance. In addition, we will be sending newsletters throughout the summer to SCRIP Program participants via Email. If you wish to receive SCRIP newsletters and updates, please jot down your email address in the comment section of the order form and we will add you to our list. Continue to visit our broker’s website at glscrip.com, for new and discontinued merchants, special percentage promotions and denomination changes.

Volume 13 Issue 6 SCRIP EXPRESS May 15, 2013 SCRIP IDEAS

• Do you have any 8th grade, high school, or college graduations this year? Pick up a Kroger reloadable card, Gordon’s Food Service (GFS), WalMart or Meijer SCRIP to purchase your party needs. Don’t forget the graduate’s cake!! Use Hall’s SCRIP to use at Hall’s Takes the Cake!

• Father’s Day isn’t too far away. Dad would love Lowe’s, Menards, or any of the restaurant SCRIP. Or order him something from our national broker’s list via Special Order/Prepay!

• Any day is a good day for ice cream…Atz’s, DQ, and Zesto are calling your name!!

SCRIP Reminders

• Any checks returned for insufficient funds are your responsibility. A $20.00 fee will be charged for each check returned. You will not be able to purchase SCRIP until the matter has been resolved.

• You may drop off your form with payment before Mass; simply give it to a SCRIP salesperson (when the orange SCRIP sign is posted) or put it in the Parish Office mail slot (located on the Pemberton Drive door). Your order will be available for express pick up after Mass.

• For large orders, PLEASE give us a “heads-up”!

• Besides earning tuition credit for you or another family, you may designate the St. Jude Tuition Assistance Fund to receive the profit from your SCRIP purchases. Just indicate your preference at the top of the order form.
