Teacher’s Corner
Mr. Tom Alig
Welcome back from Spring Break it seems everyone enjoyed the time off but we
still have work to do this quarter. The 8th graders are beginning to focus on graduation as well as all the end of the year events and programs. The eighth grade is
getting ready for our fourth annual trip to Columbus where we will attend a couple
of tours. The first one will be at The Ohio State University and the second tour
will be the Ohio State House. Eighth grade moms need to remember that the
Mother’s Day Tea and Mass are drawing near and they need to keep that date
open. As we finish the year in Junior High Social Studies we are studying the
effects of racism on our society and the importance of tolerance and understanding. We will discuss issues from the past such as the Holocaust as well as looking
at modern struggles people face when dealing with hatred and bigotry. The formation and growth of ISIS over the past year is a grim reminder that religious persecution and intolerance are still a major problem throughout the world. It is important for us all to realize the opportunity that we have to learn and talk freely
about our beliefs without the dangers that many people face on a daily basis. We
may not always agree with one another but at least we have the freedom to express
ourselves.

From the Nurse
Immunization reminder to 6th grade parents:
Ohio School Immunization Requirements are such that before a student enters seventh grade they are to
have a documented Tdap vaccine. This dose is intended to be administered as a booster dose for students
who have completed the required doses of the initial series of DTaP/DT/Td. Therefore, your current 6th
grader will need to show proof of having received this booster dose before they can return to school in
the fall.
Please provide the Nurse the date that the Tdap was received with a copy of updated immunizations from
your pediatrician. This reminder is sent out now to provide you with ample time to have your child immunized before the 2015-2016 school year begins. Please contact your physician or health department if
your child still needs this vaccine.
Save the Date
7th and 8th graders save the date for Saturday, May 23. St Albert PTO will be hosting a Jr. High dance
from 7-10.

St. Albert the Great Spring Art Show
Saturday April 18th: 1st MEET! 9:00 am start time!! This will be a
quad meet that we are hosting!!
Plans are in the works for our annual art show,
this year in a new location! Final date and time
is in the works, but it will be the first full week
of May. Watch for updates! Due to the gallery
at Town & Country closing and relocating to a
smaller space, this year’s school show will be at
the Art Frame Gallery on Brown Street, just
north of Milano’s and near the UD campus. I
am in the process of selecting art for the
show. Notes will be sent home in late April to
let your student know which piece of their artwork is selected. Space will be more of an issue
this year, but I am working to do the best I can
to include as much as possible. The kids are
very excited about it! Thanks to gallery owner
Susie Danis Grossmann for offering us the
space for our show. It is a fantastic opportunity
for our students to have their art in a real gallery.
