Dear DeSales Family,
If you look at the bottom of all of the correspondence we send from the school you will see the following phrase “The Start of Something Great.” Well, it is not just a phrase to get attention; it is the truth as I have two great stories to share that have occurred in the past few weeks.
On Sunday March 4th for the first time in DeSales history one of our students, eighth grader Catie Fike, qualified for the Scripps Spelling Bee at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. With over 8,000 students participating locally, Catie had some stiff competition on her way to place 13th regionally. All of DeSales and her mother and I are especially proud of her accomplishment. Way to go!!
Over the weekend of March 9 ~ 11th DeSales sent three teams to the local Odyssey of the Mind competition representing grades 3, 4 and 7. While these three teams had some big shoes to follow in as last year’s DeSales team qualified for the world competition you will see from the following judges’ comments that they did themselves and all of us very proud.
- “SUCH AN AWESOME JOB. Great props, incredible message . . .”
- “Absolutely wonderful! Great ideas! I love how you brought an issue so real into the spotlight! Amazing!”
- “Super performance! This was a great portrayal of a problem.”
With such lofty praise how can we not but be proud?
These are just some of the more recent accomplishment that our students do each and every single day. So, yes, DeSales: The Start of Something Great!!!”
God Bless You All,
Scott
