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:

Good evening,
I want to let you know that I am working with other schools and the Huron County Health Department regarding concerns about the Corona virus.

Let's pray for all those suffering from any illness and ask that Christ guides our decision making as we move forward.
Thank you,
-Martin Linder

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!

More SPH students volunteering their time this summer. The entire week of June 10, Alexander Stine and Christopher Kocher, donated some 40 hours of their time as camp counselors. They were officially called "Leadership Interns" at the Camp Invention program hosted at Edison Middle School in Berlin Heights. The camp is a STEM Summer Program that is sponsored by the National Inventors Hall of Fame and is for grades K-6. It is led by local teachers, including our own Keri Zendejas!
As elementary students, Alex and Chris attended the camp for many Summers and when they graduated from being campers after 6th grade have been invited back to be counselors every year since. It has been a great opportunity for them to give back by working with the youth of our community. There were a number of St. Paul elementary students who participated as campers, as well.
