We have been very busy celebrating Catholic education at St. Boniface
School in the last week.
Daily prayers have included our many benefactors and supporters who help to ensure that St. Boniface School remains a viable and faith-filled educational institution. Activities throughout the week acknowledged our students, staff, families, parishioners, volunteers, and community. Below are some of the highlights of our 2012 celebration:

Saturday & Sunday, January 28 & 29 CSW Kick-Off
Students spoke briefly at each Mass this past weekend about the themes of Faith, Academics, and Service in terms of their experiences here at St. Boniface School. Parishioners were told about what students liked about their school, their classes and their extra-curricular activities. Students also wanted to let them know that they are grateful for their support of the school and that the parishioners are remembered in school liturgies and prayer services. A "Thanks for your Support" note to parishioners was printed in this weeks' church bulletin and a flier insert signed by students was also included.

Catholic Schools Week Outreach Projects 2012
Throughout the week, a penny/coin drive was held. The final total is not in yet, but all proceeds will benefit
Cincinnati Shriners' Burn Hospital. In past years, we have had tremendous responses to our Outreach Projects and we are grateful for your support. We'll be sure to share our final total with you when it is available.
In addition to this drive, it has been our tradition for students to spend some time during this
week calling those St. Boniface parishioners who are "home-bound".
Mrs. Lawrence's 4th Grade students and Miss Luken's 8th Graders participated in this activity.

Something to "toot our horn"ABOUT
The Music Room is really hoppin' and boppin' these days. With the help of some grant money, there are now 24 students involved in Beginning and Advanced Band every Friday afternoon. We are pleased that so many students are taking advantage of this great opportunity. Both lessons and instrument rental fees are covered by the grant money.
