Congratulations to Clara Baker, Elle Mitchell, Lucy Watkins, Reece Hagy and Hannah Sheets who are all going to State Science Fair!

The Saint Rose Science Fair for grades 5-8 was held in the PCC on March 7th. We were blessed by 24 community members who volunteered to be judges. Fourteen students received a Superior rating which qualified them for The District Science Fair on Saturday, March 16th at OU Lancaster. See who qualified for districts here.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders presented their Wax Museum projects on March 14th from 6:30-7:30 in the evening in the upper level of the PCC. A dress rehearsal was March 13th for the rest of the school and anyone who cannot attend on the 14th. All students portrayed a famous Ohioan from our past. Approximately 200 people visited the evening presentation.

Cost is $5.00 for 1⁄2 day (morning or afternoon) or $7.00 for both morning and afternoon. Call the SRCS Office if you are interested.

For the SRCS Christmas Project, we selected ten kids and provided each with at least two outfits, pajamas, and two toys, if not more. The picture was the 1st grade holding some of the items for a child.

Eight St Rose graduates participated in fall sports at Bishop Rosecrans High School. Six of the eight played football while Alyssa Smith and Alicia Matheny played volleyball. Smith, a senior, lettered this season. Matheny split her time between the varsity and JV units. On the football side, Cam Hagy, Dalton Proctor, Nathan Joseph, Jesse Kunkler, Nick Losco, and Thomas Spohn all lettered this season. Named to the Mid State League-Cardinal Division team were: Nick Losco (first-team offense), Dalton Proctor (second team defense), and Cam Hagy (honorable mention). Losco and Proctor were also named first-team all-East District. Also, both boys were special mention All-Ohioans.

St. Rose School received news today that it has been awarded a Catholic Foundation Grant for General Improvements. The grant is for $15,000.00. Mr. Lollo requested $25,000.00 but $15,000.00 is the total granted, and that's perfectly fine. The money will be used to update all lighting fixtures in St. Rose School to LED. New lights will save us money in our electric bills.

St. Rose School's Anti-Bullying Assembly was conducted by New Lexington Police Officer Chad Gibbs and New Lexington High School Guidance Counselor Mrs. Lesley Powell.

Cost is $5.00 for 1⁄2 day (morning or afternoon) or $7.00 for both morning and afternoon. Call the SRCS Office if you are interested.
