St. Nicholas Academy
December 15, 2010
Dear St. Nicholas Academy Community,
It was wonderful to see so many of our families at the SNA presentation of Christmas Snapshots. I offer my humble thanks to Mrs. Carol Graler and Mrs. Karen Wijesekera for All of their work on this wonderful Christmas gift to our school community.
I have some updates for when it is necessary to delay the start of school due to weather. First, the call has to made no later than 6:00 A.M as we have students catching the bus as early as 6:45 A.M and teachers leaving for school even earlier. I will start the All Call as soon as a decision is made. I will also post delay/closing information on the local TV and radio stations. It is never an easy decision to make but the safety of our students and staff is the first consideration.
IMPORTANT BUS INFORMATION: If the Princeton and Sycamore School district are on a delay they will pick up students according to the delay time, for instance: If your normal pick up time is 7:15 A.M. and they are on a 2 hour delay the pick up time would be 9:15 A.M. If buses run in the morning then they will run in the afternoon. The Cincinnati Public buses that also serve Deer Park and Norwood will attempt to do the same thing for us. IF PRINCETON, SYCAMORE OR CINCINNATI CANCEL SCHOOL FOR THE DAY THERE IS NO BUS SERVICE IN THE MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON. When I send the early ALL call out I will attempt to have information on Bus Service from the three districts but please remember that this sometimes changes so you will have to watch and listen for this on the local TV and Radio stations. For those families using the Princeton Bus you can sign up for Alerts about bus service by going to http://www.princeton.k12.oh.us/; to the right of the page find Get Viking Text Alerts, click on this, then click on sign up page. Under special groups check mark Bus Drivers. You will need to enter a last name and a cell number or email address.
SPIRIT WEAR will be delivered on Friday December 17th at SNA. If for some reason there is a delay Mrs. Turner will contact individual families to make arrangements for delivery before Christmas.
The combined OLSH/Sts. Peter and Paul Reconciliation Service will be held at Sts. Peter and Paul Church this evening at 7:00 P.M.
Financial Aid Forms have arrived and can be picked up in the school office. We have begun working on the 2011 school budget and the Board will make a decision about tuition at the January meeting. If you will be requesting financial aid it is important to the forms filled out as early as possible because there is only a limited amount of money available from each of the three parishes for this. Financial Aid decisions are made by the Pastors.
WE ARE IN DESPARATE need of workers for the XU game this Saturday December 18th. If you could PLEASE help that would be wonderful. Workers are needed at 5:45 P.M. Paul DiMario is the contact person for this and you can call him at 631-8353 or 721-4657 or email him at Paul@peerlessprinting.com. WE ARE STILL 14 WORKERS SHORT SO PLEASE HELP US. Thanks in advance for your help.
We will have a pennies for peace collection at Mass on Friday.
The Christmas break begins at 2:30 P.M. this Friday December 17th. Classes resume on Monday January 3rd.
On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of St. Nicholas it is my honor to wish each of you a Wonderful, Blessed Christmas.
Sincerely,
Mr. Gerry Myers, Principal

Christmas Show -“Christmas Snapshots”, Catholic Social Teaching- Survey, Volunteers- Xavier Game, Santa Workshop & New Year’s Eve Benefit Dance
St. Nicholas Academy
December 8, 2010
Dear St. Nicholas Academy Community,
There is much excitement in the air as we prepare for our celebration of Christmas and Jesus is once again born in our lives. Thank you for your wonderful support of our school and your presence here. Together we build the body of Christ for our community.
Students and teachers have worked very hard on our Christmas show, “Christmas Snapshots”.
A hard copy letter about this is being sent home with students today outlining times, dress etc. Please read the letter and return the bottom signed so that we know you got it. I know you will enjoy the show!
Also coming home today is a very short survey about Catholic Social Teaching. We ask that you fill it out and return to school. We will use this information as we continue to formulate our Catholic identity goal for the OCSAA. THANKS.
Friday is a food collection day for those families who have pledged to assist the local food banks in Deer Park, Norwood and Reading. Please send in your donation by Friday and we will make sure food is delivered to the various agencies early next week.
We are need of concession volunteers again for the Xavier game on Saturday December 18th. Volunteers need to be16 years of age and must be able to prove it. If you could help us, or know of others who could, PLEASE contact Paul DiMario at paul@peerlessprinting.com or 631-8353. Paul, Carol Dunham and I will make sure everything is set up so workers will not have to be at Xavier until 5:45 P.M. This really does help our school finances a great deal!
There is a flyer attached today about a fund raiser in honor of Jim Siegel on New Years Eve. For the first 3 years of SNA Jim would visit classrooms on December 6th as St. Nicholas. He has been fighting cancer for the past several months and we continue to keep Jim in our prayers.
We will also raffle a beautiful quilt made by Mrs. Taylor and in SNA colors during Catholic School Week. Tickets and a picture are included today.
A wrap up of the Santa Shop is also included. Have a good rest of the week.
Gerry Myers
THANKS
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THE SANTA WORKSHOP A GREAT SUCCESS!
To all of our parents, parishioners, teachers, and friends: We couldn’t have done it without your donations, time, energy and enthusiasm.
Because of you, we made $3500 for our PTO. This money goes directly back to our students, teachers and school.
A special thanks to the Holy Trinity Men’s Club, the Norwood Business Women and the Wilmink’s for their generous donations for our student raffle.
We continue to need your help. Our inventory was almost completely depleted this year. Please keep us in mind during the “after Christmas sales” and buy 10-12 items for next year. We are happy to store it at school.
Finally, we will be sending out a brief on-line survey after the first of the year to ask you for your thoughts, comments and ideas about the Santa Workshop. We are always looking to improve it and would love to get feedback.
THANKS! Patty & Jeannie
