A Note From Mrs. Hibler:
Tomorrow, our staff will be working on our Ohio Catholic School Accreditation Association (OCSAA) plan. This organization assists schools in strengthening Catholic identity, improving student learning and performance, and compliance with the standards, rules, and regulations of the state of Ohio.
The Diocese of Cleveland is pleased to announce the 2025 Academic Progress Report, which in summary, states Cleveland’s Catholic elementary schools outperformed Ohio’s public schools in every grade level during the 2024-25 school year, including 12 of the 14 tested subjects/grades reported on the Ohio School Report Cards.

Lost and Found
The lost and found table is overflowing with school books, sweatshirts, jackets, and water bottles. Please have your student check there if they are missing anything. Parents, items that are labeled will be delivered back to your student, but sadly, nothing is labeled; please take a moment to label items. Unclaimed items will be cleared on October 29.

Veterans Day is
November 11
This Veterans Day, St. Jude students will set up a field of American flags in
partnership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to honor local veterans and raise critical funds to support our nation’s ill and injured heroes.
Each donated flag represents a special veteran in someone’s life, with proceeds benefiting DAV and the charity’s free, professional services for veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors.
There is no minimum to donate, and for every $250 raised we will receive 24 flags to plant in our Field of Flags. The flags will be displayed at St. Jude on Nov. 10.
