Dear parents
There is something I want to ask of you—not simply as the president of Cardinal Ritter, but as someone who believes deeply in what this school means to our students and our community.
We need you.
Cardinal Ritter is blessed with dedicated teachers, coaches, staff, and administrators who give so much of themselves to our students. But a great Catholic high school cannot be sustained by its employees alone. It takes parents volunteering. In my last letter I spoke of the changes surrounding volunteer hours. We have seen a decline in parent volunteers especially athletics. We need all of you to step up and help. Every parent that has a student participating in a sport should sign up to volunteer for at least one event.
| Our Junior High has their Fall Festival coming up. We need your help to make these events a success. | |
You don't have to volunteer every week. You don't have to take on a major leadership role. Start with one event. One afternoon. One game. One project. One opportunity to say, "How can I help?"
This year, I hope we can build a culture where volunteering is not something left to the same small group of parents who always seem to be there. I would love to see new faces, new ideas, and more of our families sharing their gifts with our school.
Let’s see how many of you can get your first 5 hours in by November 1.
Thank you in advance for giving your time ,talents and presence to help make Cardinal Ritter the extraordinary place our students deserve.
God bless
Mrs. Hoy

Queridos padres
Hay algo que quiero pedirte, no simplemente como presidente del Cardinal Ritter, sino como alguien que cree profundamente en lo que esta escuela significa para nuestros estudiantes y nuestra comunidad.
Te necesitamos.
Cardinal Ritter es bendecido con maestros, entrenadores, personal y administradores dedicados que dan gran parte de sí mismos a nuestros estudiantes. Pero una gran escuela secundaria católica no puede ser sostenida solo por sus empleados. Se necesitan padres voluntarios.
En mi última carta hablé de los cambios que rodean las horas de voluntariado. Hemos visto una disminución en los padres voluntarios, especialmente en el atletismo. Necesitamos que todos ustedes den un paso adelante y ayuden. Todos los padres que tienen un estudiante que participa en un deporte debe inscribirse como voluntario en al menos un evento.
| Nuestro Junior High tiene su Festival de Otoño que se acerca. Necesitamos tu ayuda para que estos eventos sean un éxito. | |
No tienes que ser voluntario todas las semanas. No tienes que asumir un papel de liderazgo importante. Empieza con un evento. Una tarde. Un juego. Un proyecto. Una oportunidad para decir: "¿Cómo puedo ayudar?"
Este año, espero que podamos construir una cultura en la que el voluntariado no sea algo que quede al mismo pequeño grupo de padres que siempre parecen estar ahí. Me encantaría ver caras nuevas, nuevas ideas y más de nuestras familias compartiendo sus regalos con nuestra escuela.
Veamos cuántos de ustedes pueden conseguir sus primeras 5 horas para el 1 de noviembre
Gracias de antemano por dar su tiempo, talento y presencia para ayudar a hacer del Cardinal Ritter el lugar extraordinario que nuestros estudiantes merecen.
Dios lo bendiga
Sra. Hoy
