MR. VANCE'S NEWS TO USE THIS WEEK
APRIL 17, 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our Sources of Strength Team is sponsoring a campaign highlighting Generosity. Please take a minute and write a nice note, create some artwork or card, or write a poem to share with residents in local nursing homes who have not any visitors for the last month. You can drop them off in the bin in the lobby of the parish office or send them to Mr. Vance at 5222 North Bend Road, Cincinnati, OH 45247.
As part of the Lenten practice of almsgiving, we sent home baby bottles to collect donations for the Pregnancy Center West. Please hold on to those bottles and donations until we meet again. Thanks so much!
A gentle reminder to students to continue to complete your assignments and turn them in on time. Also, attend the live sessions so you can say hello to your teachers and your classmates. If you can’t attend the live session, make sure to watch the recorded session to complete your work or be introduced to a new concept.
Please send tuition payments to the attention of Barb Campbell at the parish office at 5222 North Bend Road, Cincinnati, OH. 45247. During this time of uncertainty, the Finance Council has extended the payment window for this school year to July 1, for those families that need an extension.
A BIG HELP AND SUPPORT
Our school psychologists and counselor have been collecting and creating some great resources for students during this time of remote learning and social isolation. Go to this webpage to see the many resources and videos.
In Christ’s Peace,

OUTSTANDING YOUNG CITIZENS
The 8th grade team starts determining some awards during this time of year, and one of those awards is the Cheviot Westwood Outstanding Young Citizens award. This award is given to students who have high morals and have shown qualities of leadership, cooperation, and genuine interest in others. Each homeroom teacher nominates two deserving students for this award.
This year, the awards go to Natalie J., Noah M., Abbey S., Brandon Y., Karli M., Kyle T., Martha T., and Zachary M.
Congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment, and we are all so very proud of you!
(Typically there would be a banquet to honor these students, but unfortunately it has been cancelled this year.)

NOTES FROM THE NURSE
Hello parents,
While we are all busy washing our hands, avoiding touching our faces, and disinfecting our homes, it is important to also remember to keep our immune systems healthy! Here are some tips to help boost our immune system:
**Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Remember the more natural color on your plate, the healthier it is!
**Eat less of foods that are inflammatory or damaging to immune fighting cells such as processed foods and processed sugars.

**Exercise, such as a good 20 minute walk each day.
**Drink plenty of water.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything!

NEED A CURE FOR CABIN FEVER?
Submitted by Ann Flynn with Star Gazers
A Star Glazers DIY pottery painting kit is just the thing! The pieces still get glazed and fired, and remember, Mother's Day is coming!
Here's how it works:
**We coordinate a time I can place the kit on your porch. I can walk you through it in person (from 6 ft) or on the phone.
**I pick everything up later to process.
**Once the pieces are glazed and fired, I return them to you.
Here's what it costs:
**Minimum 8 pieces painted OR $72.
**Price is by the piece and they start at $9. You tell me the upper cap (highest price piece is $40).
Here's what is in the kit
**It includes 2 tubs. One tub has the most popular colors, brushes, water bowls, etc.
**The 2nd tub includes a dozen or so in-stock pieces to choose from in your specified price range.
**My inventory changes daily so I cannot keep a current catalog. Please tell me if you have any preferences, like functional, animals, banks, etc. I include a nice variety, so it's just like walking into one of the stores and you get to shop!
**You just paint and pay for the pieces you want and return the rest.
Contact Ann at 474-6364 or ann@starglazers.com to reserve your date for kit delivery.
