Spring Greetings!
It is hard to believe that we will be celebrating the 20th Spring Fling this year! The Spring Fling has surely evolved since its inception two decades ago only utilizing half of the Convocation Center Gym for dinner and a small auction. This wonderful event has grown into an outstanding fundraiser for Norwalk Catholic School as well as a community builder for our Flyer Families. We have cruised the evening on a riverboat, welcomed the circus into town, partied like we were in the Roaring 20's, took a dive under the sea, won it big in Las Vegas, and auctioned from a baseball diamond. We love hearing about the stories and memories created at past Spring Fling events. Please share them with us at this milestone.
As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Spring Fling, just as we did in 2020, we will be hosting the event virtually in hopes to see all of you again in person in 2022. This year's event will once more be presented through GiveSmart and the live auction portion will be live streamed through Facebook and YouTube with our wonderful MC Skip Wilde and a special co-host for 2021. We hope that you, your family, and friends will join us virtually on Saturday, May 8th for a night of delicious food, abundant bidding, various raffles, and countless laughs as we celebrate and raise funds towards the excellent catholic education that we offer at Norwalk Catholic School and St. Paul High School.
Truly Yours,
The Spring Fling Committee

Congratulations to St. Paul Head Boys Basketball Coach Mike Smith as he announces his retirement from coaching after 32 years as a head coach and 5 years as an assistant coach all at St. Paul High School.
Please take a moment to read the attached letter from Coach Mike Smith:
"To the St. Paul Community,
The time has come for me to step down from my position as head basketball coach at St. Paul High School. Although this decision has no way been an easy one. The reason is very simple- after 32 years running the basketball program, it’s just time.
The job has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I’ve been blessed in so many ways and have worked with some truly terrific people. The administrators at St. Paul have been great starting with the people that hired me 32 years ago. Dennis Doughty and Ruth Weisenberger. They took a chance on a young 22 year old and I will be forever grateful for that. Having John Livengood for our athletic director has made my job one of the best. He is the rock that has made St. Paul athletics what it is today. He is a tremendous leader in our school system.
To my entire family starting with my wife Kelly, my son’s Connor & Treg, my daughters Elizabeth & Danielle along with my parents Milton and the late Lois Smith. They have sacrificed so much in allowing me to pursue my passion for coaching. They have been unbelievably supportive. They made wins more exciting and losses less painful and without them I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I hope they are as proud of me as I am of them.
Obviously a head basketball coach is only as good as the assistant coaches that are in the program. I have been so blessed to be around some of the finest men I’ve ever met while coaching at St. Paul. I consider them family. It’s no wonder our young men have been successful in basketball and the game of life. Our coaches have truly demonstrated what it means to be men of integrity and I am proud of the way they lead by example. They have sacrificed time with their families to work with our young men and make them better basketball players and people. I want to thank you all for everything you have done through the years. It’s greatly appreciated.
Finally, to the players past and present- you made this job fun!! What a joy it has been to watch you grow not only during your time in our program, but after graduation too. St. Paul basketball has been built on the backs of so many hardworking young men and I take great comfort and pride in knowing that being hardworking, tough, dedicated, humble, and coachable are all attributes that will carry you on to being successful people, husbands, and fathers. I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a great, fun ride. One I will never forget.
Thank you St. Paul for allowing me to do what I love for so long. I will always bleed Red & Black.
Mike Smith
St. Paul Boys Basketball Coach 1989-2021"
Thank you Coach Smith for all that you have done for the St. Paul High School Basketball program! We will forever be grateful for your dedication to our school community. Forever a Flyer!

Last week our first graders learned how the Kingdom of God is like the yeast. After hearing the bible story, they went into the kitchen where they got to hold yeast, help kneed it into bread, and then see it rise. Afterwards they got to compare two loaves of bread, one with yeast and one without. It was easy to see which loaf represented the Kingdom of God and of which one they wanted to belong!
St. Paul High staff surprised our JH/HS Theology teacher, Horacio Quezada today with a baby shower. Mr. & Mrs. Quezada are expecting their bundle of joy in May!

The second graders have spent a lot of time this year talking about lambs! First in the parable of the Lost Sheep and most recently in talking about Jesus being the Lamb of God.

A testimonial from one of our Friends for the Future committee members, Brendan Roberts (SPH '06). Pictured above is Brendan with his wife, Samantha and daughter, Kennedy.
"Sue asked me to be a part of FFF in late summer of 2019. To be honest, I almost deleted her voicemail but I was, and still am trying to be the person that says "yes" to more things. I also was in somewhat of a mental rut, so I figured it would be a nice change and afford me the chance to give back to the place I called home for the first 18 years of my life. My first year on FFF was not a typical one. COVID-19 came on the scene just before the annual phon-a-thon, so we had to adapt on the fly and come up with ways to meet and achieve our financial goal while the world was shutting down. Sometimes being forced out of our comfort zones shows us how capable we really are. Despite a global pandemic that is still raging, we actually surpassed the goal we set as a committee last year. It has been great to be part of a team that works quietly behind the scenes to make NCS the most affordable Catholic school in the area, if not one of the most affordable in the state.
Looking back on my years at Norwalk St. Paul, I'm reminded of the great times I had with my friends and classmates. I was able to experience some big things. Such as competing for a state championship in football back in 2004, even though we lost. Also, things like traveling down to Dayton with my friends to watch the volleyball team compete at the state championships multiple years. The mere 3 minutes between classes that somehow provided FAR MORE entertainment than it should have. Being able to connect with my classmates on a deeper level at our annual class retreats that seemed to energize us.............for about a day. There are obviously many more great memories stored away in my mind, too many to list in this short paragraph. I hope through our work at FFF, we can provide the current generation with the same great experiences that my friends and I were able to have. "
Congratulations to the St. Paul High Wrestling Team that has two wrestlers moving on to the state tournament this weekend! Best of luck to Senior Ben Meyer and Junior Will Stieber!

This week the 4 year olds in Miss Nardecchia and Mrs Griffins class learned about artists. Before the week started they voted between the topic of artists or habitats. Since artists won, they learned about Picasso, Matisse, Seurat, Kandinsky, and Michelangelo. They painted with dots like Seurat and made art with shapes like Kandinsky. They learned that Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. They drew pictures under tables to see what it was like for Michelangelo. The students decided there was no way he was comfortable and it had to be very hard for him.

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.

We also sent a picture to the soldier with the child that adopted them with a handmade card and words of encouragement. This was a great project for the kids and for Mrs. Zendejas as she is a proud Vietnam Veteran daughter!

Mrs. Zendejas' and Mrs. Stoll's classes went down on the farm. What great fun it was to "herd" the pigs and sheep back into their pens, "shear" a sheep, feed the horses and tend to the chicken coop. 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!

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. Chris Doughty who will be in the 6th grade classroom. Here is a short message from Mr. Doughty: As a 2009 graduate of Norwalk Catholic School, I am thrilled to now be a part of the elementary education team. Since graduation, I have been actively involved as a coach in the football and wrestling programs. I look forward to the opportunity to build lasting relationships with many more students and families throughout the coming school year. Go Flyers!
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. Mullins: My name is Jacqui Mullins and this will be my first year teaching. I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a major in Early Childhood Education, and completed the 4th and 5th grade endorsement. 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!

Please pray for an end to this health crisis through our Blessed Mother, the patroness of our former school.
