Dear Parents,
Congratulations to the cast, crew and artists of Seussical! They put on three highly-talented performances last week that were enjoyed by students, parents, relatives, friends of the school and our parish 55+ Club.
A special thank you to the creative team of Crystal Bensonhaver, Mar Frommeyer, Ken Heigel, Shelly Reardon, Stacie Williams, and Larrie Habel for their endless hours in directing this production. Thank you also to the many teacher and parent volunteers who helped with the production including Chris Mazon, Jill Cecutti, Jeremy Johnson, Amy Yaich, Rich Habel, Carolyn Kramer, Bernadette Dinehart, Greg Svatora, Alison Grogan, Jim Anderson, Erin Samenuk, Shiang Duffy, Julie Tobias, Linda Dupuis and Jennifer Matthews.
Additionally, a big thank you to the many parent volunteers who assisted the creative team with countless hours of work to create costumes and play sets to help our students have fun, work hard, and experience new learning opportunities while learning an appreciation for musical theater. One of the most important aspects of this experience is that in the spirit of ministry our creative team guides the cast, crew and artists to be thankful for their God-given talents and for the talents of each other. Our students truly had the opportunity to learn the lessons of Seussical - standing up for your beliefs, respect all others (no matter how small), and don't be afraid to be creative and use your imagination to help others.
It was a truly amazing performance that couldn't have been put on without all of their help! I would also like to thank the audience for the generous free-will donations to support the arts at St. Brigid.
Please note that the Easter Basket collection for Holy Family Soup Kitchen is THIS WEEK due to spring break. See the story below for more details.

Herion Abuse in Dublin - Keep the Conversation Going
Heroin abuse continues to be a problem throughout Ohio, and Dublin is not immune to this epidemic. Chances are you or someone you know is affected by addiction.
The Dublin Police Department remains committed to raising awareness about drug abuse. Please watch this short video from one of the department's beloved School Resource Officers, Officer Chuck Collier.

STEM Take-Apart Day Photos
Kids love to take things apart to see how they work! That is exactly what a group of St. Brigid students did in the STREAM Lab during the Take-Apart Event. The SBK Robotics Club, and the 6th grade class first learned about using basic hand tools like pliers and screwdrivers. These students then had a chance to take apart old laptops, boom boxes, and even a filmstrip projector!

 EPIC Middle School Youth Group
Our EPIC Middle School Youth Group has come to an end for this school year. Thanks so much to our more than 200 kids who were part of this community at St. Brigid and for your fabulous service to those in need - combined, you served more than 1,500 hours this year alone - you fed the hungry (delivered 120 Thanksgiving meals and brought 2,000 lbs of food to the Dublin Food Pantry), visited the elderly, clothed (with blankets and scarves) the homeless and worked on the environment at the Ohio Wildlife Center. Thanks to all of our 80 parent volunteers as well! Your dedication to our children and the community is amazing - you put in another 300 hours of service with our kids!
Service hour forms are due this month to the School or Religious Education departments. Parents are required to fill out ONE form listing all EPIC events in which your child participated this year. Other events should be listed on a separate form.
Sign ups for next year's EPIC community (7th and 8th graders in the fall) will begin in late spring. Seventh grade families will need to register again at that time. Sixth grade families, watch for a flier to come home in May.
If you have questions about the program, please contact Kim VanHuffel at
