Academy Spirit

September 2, 2016

In the spirit of Goal Four, The Building of Community as a Christian Value, students and faculty/staff launched the school year with the traditional Mass of the Holy Spirit and introduced the concept of spirit houses. Using the names of our founding mothers, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, each student and adult is now a member of either the Duchesne House or the Barat House. Throughout the coming year, there will be special days designated as spirit days with celebrations and activities that allow for the houses to work and play together. Barat House proudly wears red, Duchesne House proudly wears white. The enthusiastic and generous sponsorship of a quiet benefactor made it possible for all of us to have these shirts. (Don’t be surprised that the shirts aren’t sent home; they will be kept at school to ensure they are available on spirit days.)

Class of 2016 Memory Books

September 1, 2016

It was great to see so many of the members of the Class of 2016 return recently for their Memory Book Party. Classmates caught up, swapped high school stories and enjoyed looking through their new Memory Books. They were welcomed by Charla Dziedzic, Alumni President, and learned more about being members of the Academy’s Alumni Association. It was a fun afternoon with friends!
 
Special thanks to Ms. Alexander, Mrs. Booher, Mrs. Coffman, Mrs. Dee and Mrs. Thomas for putting together a wonderful keepsake for the Class of 2016!

When the Paraolympics begin Sept. 7 in Rio de Janeiro, Deni Heitmann Pool ’72 will be there!

KSDK NewsChannel 5 shared the following:  “A new set of U.S. athletes are heading to Rio soon for the Paralympic Games. Two friends who work at TREE House — an equine assisted therapy program in Wentzville — will be there to serve as International Stewards. They are only two of three people from the United States selected to take part. NewsChannel 5 photojournalist Bob Hoehn spent some time with Denise Pool and Pat Sweeney today.”

New Beginnings

August 25, 2016
