May 12, 2015 Dear JPII Families, Spring at JPII is a time for field trips. The 2nd graders went to the Cincinnati Nature Center, 6th graders went to Conner Prairie, 7th graders went to the Museum Center and the Newport Aquarium, and kindergarteners will go to Sun Rock Farm later this week. The 1st graders will go to Winton Woods, 7th graders will attend the Camp Campbell Gard and 8th graders will visit Rockwern Academy’s Holocaust Museum and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. There is an array of activities that will consume this beautiful month of May. The Spring Musical is tomorrow evening at 7 pm in the Krumpe Center (Gym). The musical will feature the students in band and grades 4-6. The students in band should arrive at 6:30 and students in grades 4-6 arrive at 6:45. All students have worked extremely hard to learn their musical pieces. This will be a treat for all who attend. May Crowning: In honor of our Blessed Mother and in keeping with the Marion devotion of Blessed John Paul II, the students will crown Mary with a multitude of flowers. We are proud to announce our May Crowning Court: Dawson Adams, Rebecca Dance, Allie Hinnenkamp, Sam Hinnenkamp, Elizabeth Mushaben, Danielle Nissen, Newmann Phan, Kalynne Schuermann, Ellen Stevenot, and Meggie Suffoletta. Everyone is welcome to join with us as we honor our Blessed Mother this Thursday, May 14th at 9:30 am in the church. Children are asked to bring in a flower on this day to honor our Blessed Mother. Power of the Pen: On May 21st our students will compete in the State Power of the Pen Competition in Wooster. We congratulate the following students for qualifying at this level: Patrick Mulcahey, Catherine House, Monica Dempsey and Lizzie Mushaben! Join us Monday, May 18th from 1:45-3:00 for the very first Fifth Grade Revolutionary War Living Wax Museum. Watch as the students “come to life” and recite their speeches, as if they were statues in a museum! All you have to do is press a button! A huge THANK YOU to each of the Rock the Socks participants and the generosity of the JPII community! SERVE is pleased to announce that Rock the Socks raised $448.45 … enough to sponsor a WWII Veteran’s trip to Washington, D.C.! Spring Cleaning and Sale! We have been spring cleaning! We have located a large number of student desks and chairs that are no longer needed. We are selling each of these items for $1. If you are looking for a desk and chair for your little student, let me know as these items are available NOW and must go! Spring Pictures: Spring pictures came home a few weeks ago. Select your favorite portrait and pay online! Go to mylifetouch.com. Log in with your Portrait ID and Access Code, which is on your portrait package insert.

Students will have to bring a packed lunch. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. Summer Tutoring: Summer is right around the corner and many of you may be thinking about tutoring.

KROGER COMMUNITY REWARD NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION: If you are already a member of the Kroger Community Rewards you need to renew your card by indicating that you would like to benefit John Paul II. You just need your Kroger Plus Card and an on-line account at Kroger. We have earned approximately $7000 in the last year. This is an easy way to raise money for our school. New to this program? Please check the flier attached. SBAA: The SBAA board officially announces that the Girls Volleyball and Girls Basketball seasons have officially switched to align better with High School seasons and meet the expectations of the newly formed sports league. With CYO disbanding, it was imperative for the board to get this information out quickly. With Girls Volleyball now being played in the fall, registrations are now being accepted from 5/11/15 until 5/31/15. At this time, we can send the new league how many teams will be placed by SBAA. The board understands that this change impacts several areas not historically conflicted by Girls Volleyball but we felt it best in the long run to make the switch. Just to reiterate.....Girls Volleyball will now be played in the fall season and Girls Basketball will now be played in the winter season. Please visit www.stbartsathletics.org and click the Login (or Register if first-time user) button to get started. The full announcement can be found below. Thank you! Have a blessed week and remember you are the body of Christ. Let your words and actions spread His love.

ATTENTION SBAA MEMBERS Dear Parents, As many of you may be aware, CYO as we know it will be disbanded at the end of this school year and a new league will be formed. SBAA Board Members have worked very closely with representatives from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, a steering committee, and the other 35 parishes and schools that were part of CYO. One topic that has been discussed over the years is switching the girls volleyball and girls basketball seasons. As we have been meeting with everyone over the last several months, it was clear every parish/school had different issues to address and there was no agreement on switching the season. However, what was agreed upon, was to have 1 league with 2 seasons for volleyball and 2 seasons for basketball. What was also agreed upon was a school/parish could only play volleyball in 1 season and basketball in 1 season. So if a parish/school chose volleyball in the fall, they had to play basketball in the winter. After many discussions, the board of SBAA decided to have girls volleyball in the fall and girls basketball in the winter. No other sports are being affected by this change for girls or boys. There were (3) main reasons why the board decided to make the change. 1) This will align our girls sports with other CYO leagues across the nation, as well as align the seasons with High School sports. 2) This will avoid conflicts with Club Volleyball which is becoming more popular. However, we realize this may cause other conflicts with other sports or other activities (i.e. soccer) 3) SBAA spends about $14,000 a year in gym rentals between St Bart’s KAC, Mt. Healthy and other gyms. Because girls volleyball and boys basketball are our most popular sports, by changing seasons, we can save some money on gym rentals. We realize that this change might cause some children and parents to make decisions about other activities, however, the SBAA board felt this change was in the best overall interest of SBAA. With this new change and the urgency of forming leagues, the SBAA board needs to submit the number of teams to the new league office by June 1, 2015. With this date rapidly approaching, those members interested in signing up their child for Girls Volleyball must do so immediately by May 31, 2015. Please complete the steps below to register your child for Girls Volleyball for fall 2015. 1. Visit www.stbartsathletics.org and click on the Login link at the top right.
