THE JPII CONNECTION

The Easter season is full of new life and miracles. I had the
opportunity over Easter break to both read the book and see the
movie Miracle from Heaven. This story was based on a true story
about faith and miracles. Many of us go through life not
understanding why certain days are better than others, why we
don’t have answers for illness, death, poverty, etc., or why there
are times (especially the difficult times) when we can’t feel God’s
presence. This story reminds us that God is always near and He
sends us miracles every day. The miracle may be in the form of a
smile, or a hug, or a kind act from a stranger. The miracle may be
the blooming of a spring flower or a rainbow that shines in the sky. We have to be willing to
see the miracles that are there. Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your
life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” In
the beauty of this Easter season, look for the miracles that surround you. Remember, you
may be the miracle in the life of another person.
God bless and congratulations to our
newly confirmed 7th and 8th graders
from St. Clare Parish.

Classroom Highlights: A group of seventh and eighth

again this year. We visited the Cincinnati Zoo’s
Sustainability Tour to learn about pumping and filtering,
solar and wind power, aquaponics and water catchment
systems. The Cincinnati Observatory came to teach us about space
exploration with an emphasis on travel to Mars and telescopes. We
plan to visit the Observatory in May to see the telescope built in the
1840’s. Mrs. Nissen, Science Teacher form McAuley High School
visited our class to talk about the physics of a telescope to help us
prepare for the competition. Another topic we studied was Six
Sigma. Six Sigma is a manufacturing process used in many industries
like GE, Ford, and P&G. Mr. Bob Grosse shared his experiences with
Six Sigma from his work at Procter and Gamble.

On April 2, our 8th graders competed in a Speech Contest at St. Ignatius. Congratulations to Celeste Losey, Megan
Miller, Lucas Strunc, Jessica Hudgens, and Sydney Cardwell! Jessica earned 1st place for the “Grumpy Old Man”, a
humorous monologue. Celeste and Megan earned a ribbon for their humorous dialogue called “Hipster Hobos”.
Sydney and Lucas earned ribbons for their serious monologues.
Our Girl Scouts, the Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and Cadets held a World
Thinking Day event. This annual event began in 1926 as a day where Girl
Scouts around the world think of each other and express their thanks and
appreciation. The girls get to "travel the world" and learn about the
history and culture of their sister scouts. The Daisies and Brownies
presented Mexico. The Juniors and
Cadets presented England with facts
and food. The girls dressed up as part of
the Royal Family with Gracie Adams as
the Queen of England with her Queen's
Guards, Anna McGraw and Emma Vogel
and their many princesses. (Lily Moore,
Deanna England, Riley Rolfert, Bella Williams, Alyssa Sunderman, Keira Picard, Jayden
Haskin, Catie Vogel, Trinity Vivians, and Emma Bays. Grace Hoffmann and Kayla
McCann were Hermione and Ginny from Harry Potter. Maria Buerger was a
Manchester United soccer player.
A Special Family Event! PTO and the school are always looking for new ways of raising
money. Many families dislike selling items door to door and yet we need to raise funds
for special activities and projects around the school. One solution to the door to door
sales is raising funds while promoting community/family. PTO is planning a night out
for JPII families and friends. On Thursday, April 28th from 6:30 – 8:45 we are asking all
families to dust off their skates and join us at Skatin’ Place on Colerain Avenue for a
night of exercise, family fun, and raising money for our school. I can’t think of a better
time! The cost for the evening is $6 per person (including skates and a drink). PTO will
earn $1 for each admission. Invite friends and relatives and roll on in for a night of skatin’ fun! Skatin’ Place is reserved
just for JPII!
Crystal Clear Science: Again this year, PTO is sponsoring a day of science with Crystal Clear Science. This special day is
scheduled for Tuesday, April 19th, for kindergarten through 5th grade. This year’s theme is E is For Energy. Each grade
will spend approximately 45 minutes in the gym working through a variety of stations. The stations will teach how air,
water, light, motion and magnetism create energy. We need your help with these hands-on activities. Please contact
Mrs. Honerlaw, shonerlaw@jpiics.org to volunteer for all or any part of the day. The children learn more when there is
an adult leading them through the experiment. Thank you in advance for your help.
Have a blessed week and remember you are the body of Christ. Let your words and actions spread His love.
