Safety first! Since Sheriff Rutherford and his team of security experts walked both of our campuses to evaluate our security needs, the Guardian Board and I have been focused on implementing their plan for “Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.” Many important security upgrades have already been implemented and the rest will be completed by next month. Thank you to those who have contributed to this project for providing a safe & secure environment for our students and staff. Please join us for our 10th Annual “Decade of Dreams” Golf and Tennis Classic, March 31st at Timuquana Country Club.

We’ll be participating in The PLAYERS Birdies for Charity again this year, don’t miss out on the fun! Thank you for joining us in making dreams come true and accomplishments possible for our Guardian students. God bless, JUMP! Holy Rosary Launches the Jacksonville Urban Music Project Inspired by the vision of El Sistema, the founding members of JUMP!, the Jacksonville Urban Music Project, chose Holy Rosary as the site of their new string program. After attending workshops at Villanova University given by the Play On Philly! staff from Philadelphia and at Duke University where they were further inspired by Durham, North Carolina’s KidZNotes, Peggy Toussant and Patrice Evans were determined to found a similar program in Jacksonville. Violinist Patty Evans introduces first-grader Lyriq Walker to the violin as Jayden Johnson looks on. Students in the first and fourth grades have the opportunity to become members of the inaugural class. The program includes weekly training in classical, orchestral music, lessons in music theory and literacy, and opportunities to perform in the community. Improvements Around St. Pius Father Tom Cody has been busy using his carpentry skills at St. Pius School. We are so grateful for bookcases for the library, storeroom shelving, science room shelving, podiums for classrooms, a podium for the church, and a really classy (don’t laugh) sneeze guard which was required for our health permit for the lunch serving line. Father’s next project is revamping our trophy cases, which is timely, as our boys’ basketball team were the Students line up for lunch in front of the Division I league and tournament champs. Many new sneeze guard thanks, Father Tom. St. Pius School is now proudly sponsoring Holy Rosary School in the National School Lunch Program. Their lunch program went from serving 50 some lunches a day to over 150. Father Tom hard at work on his next project School Leadership Changes Sister Elise Kennedy has announced that at the end of this school year she will retire as principal of St. Pius V, a position she has held for 27 years. She will pursue another ministry at that time. Enough cannot be said about what Sister Elise has meant to the St. Pius community during her 37 years of dedicated service at St. Pius. Sister Dianne Rumschlag has been appointed as Executive Director of Schools for the Guardian Catholic Schools, reporting to the Guardian Board, effective immediately. Sister Dianne’s 18 years of ministry at Holy Rosary and her PhD in Educational Administration position her well to assume this new leadership role. She will retain her responsibilities as principal of Holy Rosary School. Jennifer Churchill has been appointed to the new position of Assistant Principal at Holy Rosary. Jennifer has taught first and fourth graders at Holy Rosary for eight years; she has a Master's degree in Education and majored in Educational Leadership. A search has already begun for Sister Elise’s replacement. The new principal at St. Pius will also report to Sister Dianne. St. Pius & ACE Celebrate Black History Month In celebration of 20 years of the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), the University of Notre Dame is currently having a National "Fighting for Our Children's Future" Bus Tour. Jacksonville and the Guardian Catholic Schools were chosen as one of the stops. During their February 18th visit, ACE representatives St. Pius students perform a scene from Aida in honor of Black History Month attended a Black History Month Presentation put on by St. Pius students and celebrated morning Mass with Holy Rosary’s students. Congratulations to Sister Elise Kennedy and Jim Selzer who were recognized during the visit with the University of Notre Dame Sorin Award for Service to Catholic Schools. Introducing Jennifer Churchill Thank You to Nancy & Gary Chartrand! Nancy & Gary Chartrand generously decided to donate to the Guardian all proceeds from the November 5th, 2013 screening of Messenger of the Truth, a powerful documentary they produced about the life and death of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko. The event was a huge success, raising over $179,000 for student scholarships. To show our appreciation, the Guardian Board and students presented them with an original piece of artwork by student Chanthony Boyd. Thanks to the Guardian, Chanthony has had the opportunity to attend field trips and summer camp at The Cummer Art Museum and explore his interest in the arts. “Art is very important to me,” said Chanthony, “It allows me to express my feelings and share my thoughts.” The piece given to the Chartrands was his “expression of God’s guidance” in our daily lives.
