Please know that we continually evaluate our school safety plans and regularly have our students practice different types of school safety drills including fire, tornado, reverse evacuations, and intruder in the building. O
ur model of training the students for intruders or other dangerous situations has been very successful. The students have responded well and have learned to think and problem solve using available information with making decisions about evacuating and/or barricading in a classroom. This training has allowed students to develop some great life skills about decision making in stressful situations. Please continue to talk with your children about school
safety
.
We will continue to constantly review, evaluate and practice our school safety plans to always keep safety forefront in our school.
Lenten Blessings,
Kathy O'Reilly

Series that will touch upon some of the issues facing our world today.

7-8:30 PM

Lent.
Each workshop will include a guest
speaker
presentation and an activity that will offer an experiential piece. These evenings are open to the community. Children in 8th grade or younger must have a parent/ guardian attend the evening with them.
February 22: Human Trafficking
Our first session is
Human Trafficking: What is it? Is it in Ohio? What can I do about It? February 22nd in Hendricks' Hall 7:00 - 8:30 PM. The presenter is Sr. Nadine Buchanan, OP. Sr. Nadine began her mission to the victims of human trafficking in Columbus, OH, in 2009. It was a way to, as she says, "put flesh" to one of her Congregation's commitments: to promote justice for the marginalized, especially women and children. Over eight years, her ministry has moved from cooking meals with and for survivors, to the courtroom to help those in recovery, to the streets. Today, she works with women who are still in the grip of a life of sexual slavery.

Our SPiCE Story: The Hayek Family
From the Hayek family:
Our family moved to Dublin from Cleveland six years ago. My husband Andrew and I both attended Catholic grade and high school. Our faith has always been a central part of our upbringing and lives. We felt it was important for our children's faith to grow and develop in a loving and fostering atmosphere. When we discovered St. Brigid of Kildare Parish and School, we knew we had found our home.
St. Brigid offers such a rich and vibrant parish life and school. Our oldest daughter Ali and our youngest son Andrew attend St. Brigid school. Ali sang in the children's choir for 3 years and is now an alter server. Our middle daughter Natalie attends Religious Ed weekly through the tremendous and wonderful SPiCE program. Due to the nurturing and guiding hand of the SPiCE program, she has been accepted and welcomed to participate and make her sacraments.
We believe in doing as much as we can as a family, whether that's attending church, going for a bike ride, or eating a meal. As with most hectic schedules, finding time together can be challenging, but we manage to eat dinner as a family most evenings. The is the point in our day where each one if us is able to share a funny story, an interesting tidbit or perhaps a concern about his or her day. After our evening routine of getting ready for bed, we reconvene to recite our prayers of adoration, contrition, petition and thanksgiving.
As active members of St. Brigid of Kildare we feel our family is guided in the right direction.

As always, we will begin with 12:15 p.m. Mass by the baptismal font and then come to Hendricks Hall for pizza prior to heading to the Food Pantry.
