It’s been a wonderful Catholic Schools Week! I would like to thank our amazing PTO and parents for their generosity throughout this Catholic Schools Week. The daily sweet and salty treats, candy, snacks, drinks, and cookies certainly pumped us up (especially our stomachs!) Thank you to PTO for lunch earlier today. Thank you, Ms. Sealy, for organizing the parents who watched our students during our lunch and movie time. All teachers enjoyed the time together and ate slowly and had conversations with each other. Thank you to our guest speakers yesterday, Mother Seraphina and Deacon Barry for sharing their journey to religious life and the diaconate. Thank you to Ms. Kelly, Ms. Gallagher and Ms. Rahali for planning and preparing for the special activities during Catholic Schools Week. Last but not least, thank you to those reading our parents, grandparents, parish members, and volunteers who give so freely of their time and talents. Thank you for your support and continuous prayers not just Catholic Schools Week but throughout the entire year. I depend on you in so many ways and want you to know how much I appreciate you. You help keep our school community a wonderful place for both students and teachers to grow and learn.

We have had some parents express interest in getting boys' volleyball going at St. Catherine. Kenton and Boone Counties offer several different leagues for boys.

We are a go for 5th and 6th grade boys' volleyball. We have coaches and interest from boys. The season will start in late February/early March and run about 6 weeks.

If your son (in grades 3-8) wants to play, please use the Google Form to sign him up.

While we can't guarantee we will have a team for all of the age groups, we are gauging interest that will help for the future of boys' volleyball at St. Catherine.

Kids Caught in Kindness is a new initiative started by a Fort Thomas Coffee employee who witnessed three kids go out of their way to support another student who was experiencing a hard moment.  At FTC we believe in the importance of recognizing those moments and the kids involved in order to support and encourage more opportunities of kindness.  

​

There is a lot of attention drawn to the negative behavior and choices of the youth.  Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”  As community members we can be the change by looking for kindness and calling it out.  We can also encourage our younger members to “be the change” when we see them acting in kindness and positively reinforcing it.  

FTC has created a “button” which individuals can use to donate into the fund.  Gift cards will be purchased (through the fund) and given to the schools to hand out to nominated kids (as supplies allow). 

Kids can be nominated by anyone in the community, either a teacher, a business owner, another parent, or a community member.  The school that the child attends would deliver the gift card to the child as well as communicate to their parents or guardians that this child was “Caught In Kindness.”

As you know our school yearbook is already available to purchase! 

​

For the yearbook to be a great success with lots of different activities and students in it, we NEED your photos!  To get to those to us, follow these four steps:

1) Go to this site: https://plicbooks.com/go/ZDC77E  (this is specific to our yearbook)

2) Choose one of the preset categories in the drop down menu (ex: sports).

3) Choose "upload your files'' (for PC, phone, tablet storage) or Google Drive or Instagram.

3) Choose your photos and click "start upload."

4) Once you get the message that your uploads are complete.  You are set!

This is the BEST and EASIEST way for you to share and us to receive pictures for the yearbook. Please consider saving or bookmarking the link for easy adding of photos after an event

Please take a few minutes to go in and add events for this year so far:

first day of school, soccer, cross country, field trips, class days, assemblies, volleyball, etc... We need those pictures!

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Joliene Garlich at jgarlich@stcky.org.
