Show your support for Norwalk Catholic School by making an end-of-year-tax deductible gift at: https://www.norwalkcatholicschools.org/o/District/page/donate-online--3
Important CARES ACT INFORMATION - DEADLINE 12/31/20
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress with overwhelming, bipartisan support and signed into law on March 27th, 2020. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, provisions have been made to the CARES Act regarding charitable donations. Please see the list of provisions below:
There is a $300 CHARITABLE DEDUCTION FOR ALL.
Even if you do not itemize deductions on your taxes, your gift can reduce your 2020 taxable income by up to $300 ($600 for couples). This is a special benefit for 2020.
There is a 100% DEDUCTION ALLOWANCE FOR CASH GIFTS TO CHARITIES.
For the 2020 tax year only, individuals may deduct cash gifts up to 100% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) compared to the typical 60% allowance.
IRA DISTRIBUTIONS FOR DONORS AGE 70½ OR OLDER
Though the required minimum distribution (RMD) is suspended for 2020, gifts from an IRA rollover or qualified charitable distribution (QCD) will continue to reduce your taxable income (up to $100,000), especially if you do not itemize your deductions.

All of the kindergarteners have been learning about what makes a strong sentence. They made sentence buddies in language arts class to remember the important parts of a sentence. They learned that every sentence needs a cap...capital letter at the beginning, shoes... punctuation at the end, and arms... a verb and a noun. Without one of these parts, it would not be a good sentence! The kindergarteners have spent the first quarter learning about letters, letter sounds, capitalization, punctuation, verbs, and nouns. Mrs. Gioffre is so proud of how much they have learned so far! They did a great job making their sentence buddies! They hang in the hallways and in the classrooms as a reminder for when they are working on their writing.

If you win and are not present to take the basket, we will arrange a pick-up or delivery. It’s really that easy!

The children were also able to see an egg experiment. What happens when an egg is put in vinegar and another in water? It was fun to discover that the egg in the vinegar became rubbery after sitting in the vinegar for four days but they also discovered that when the egg was thrown on the ground, the yolk splattered farther than the egg that was in the water. The children also got to witness the crows eating the eggs on the ground. It was fun for all!

After leaving Norwalk St. Paul in 2015, I continued to teach for the Toledo Catholic Diocese at my home parish of Mansfield St. Peter's in 2016. Since then, I have been a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Science Education at The Ohio State University's College of Education and a University Supervisor of Field Experiences and Internships at Ashland University. I have always felt that NCS is a very special place, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to return.

This summer, I decided to make the move back home and am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work for my Alma Mater, Norwalk Catholic School (2015). I’ve grown up my entire life in the Norwalk community and am excited for my future here! When not teaching, I love to spend time outside doing whatever I can in the sun. At Heidelberg, I was a four-year letter winner in volleyball and am currently the 8th grade girl’s coach which I am thrilled for. Volleyball is a huge passion of mine and I’m looking forward to helping young girls learn to love the game in the same place that I did! As the school year is now approaching, I am getting anxious to meet all of my co-workers and students for what will surely be a year to remember!

New Teacher Spotlight! Please join us in welcoming Mr. Horacio Quezada who will be teaching Junior High & High School Theology. Here is a short message from Mr. Quezada: I was born the 10th child of a very devout Catholic family of 12 children. I was raised in a small but beautiful and quaint town in Northern Mexico. Family necessities brought us all to California, and eventually God led me all this way to Norwalk, Ohio. Since I was little, I have always had a spiritual and intellectual inclination towards my Catholic faith. I hope that as a teacher I will be able to share my spiritual and intellectual interests with my students as well as their parents, while simultaneously learning from their own faith journey. I am excited to be a part of this new family!
New Teacher Spotlight! Please join us in welcoming Miss. Jacqui Mullins who will be in the 4th grade classroom. Here is a short message from Miss.

I have played volleyball my entire life and my team won the state championship my senior year at Huron High School. Since then, I have been coaching at St. Paul for the past four years. I am very passionate about the game and enjoy sharing that passion with my players. I spent my childhood growing up in Collins but moved to Huron a few years ago where I currently reside. In my spare time, you can find me with my family, friends, or playing with my dog, Herm. I recently got engaged to my boyfriend, Tyler of 4 years. We are planning on getting married in the fall of 2022. I am so excited to meet my students and jump start my career!

In order to minimize contact and practice social distancing, we’re excited to be doing a virtual art drive. Creations can be sent to ArtDrive@ftmc.com and they will be printed and displayed in various locations at Fisher-Titus. Some ideas to get you started are:
◊ Sidewalk chalk drawings
◊ Uplifting cards
◊ Window displays
Pose for a photo with your art or snap a photo of your creation on its own. We can’t wait to see what you come up with and we are so grateful for the support our community has shown us these last few weeks! Thank you!

The Norwalk Police Department has released the following statement regarding the investigation of the incident shared yesterday afternoon.Please continue to stress to your children the potential risks presented by strangers. From the Norwalk Police Department: “The Norwalk Police Department has identified a sixty-three-year-old Norwalk woman as the person who attempted togive a ride to the 11-year-old Main Street School student last week. During the investigation information was received which lead investigators to believe this was a case of mistaken identity with no criminal intent on the part of the woman. The woman was contacted and interviewed. She was very embarrassed and apologetic. She was on her way to a rental property she owns when she saw a boy who she thought was her tenant’s grandson. She offered him a ride because of the cold weather. She even described getting out of her car, as the witness reported. When she arrived at her tenant’s residence,her grandson was already there, and she realized her mistake. She did not see the social media posts about the investigation yesterday and was not aware the incident was reported to the police. This case is unfounded, and the investigation closed. However, this type of situation presents parents and teachers with an opportunity to reinforce safety rules and talk about ways to avoid potentially dangerous situations.”

Friends for the Future Faithful Flyers
Our Kick-Off Weekend is Feb. 1st & 2nd.
Friends for the Future is our annual fund which provides necessary operating funds to the school for day-to-day operations. NCS is able to keep tuition affordable because of a "three-legged stool" financial model with roughly 1/3 of the cost to educate coming through tuition, 1/3 from supportive parishes, and 1/3 provided from generous donations to Friends for the Future and other programs.
Yes -- we do humbly ask you to consider 2 Commitments this year to Norwalk Catholic Schools. Please make a commitment to today and tomorrow.
The Norwalk Catholic School and Norwalk City School District received the following important announcement from the Norwalk Police Department:
“The Norwalk Police Department is investigating a report of a female who asked an eleven-year-old male to get into her vehicle on two separate days last week. The child’s father reported the incident to the Norwalk Police Department shortly after 3:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon. The incidents happened on Wednesday, January 22 and Thursday, January 23, in the afternoon immediately after school when the child was walking home.
Information indicates the boy left the school and was walking home on East Main Street. A vehicle pulled into the parking lot at 124 East Main Street (Domino’s Corporate Offices). A female, described by a witness, as being in her late 50's or early 60's and having a medium build, medium height and shoulder length gray hair, then exited the car and said something to the boy. She got back into her car and proceeded through the Domino’s Store Resource Center parking lot, turning left (south) on Corwin Street. The incident remains under investigation. If anyone in the area of East Main Street and Corwin Street has video surveillance systems that may have captured the incident, or you have any information that could assist with the investigation, please contact the Norwalk Police Department at 419-668-3311 or 419-663-6780.
Parents are asked to remind their children never to go anyplace or get into a car with anyone without checking with a parent.
As a precautionary measure, additional officers, both uniform and plain-clothes, will be patrolling for the next several days.”
Please talk to your children about being safe around strangers. The Norwalk Catholic School and Norwalk City School District will remain in contact with the Norwalk Police Department throughout the investigation.
JOIN US TO CELEBRATE OUR COMMITMENT AS FAITHFUL FLYERS!
