Enrollment turnaround much higher than expected!
Three weeks are in the books for the 2020-21 school year and with the hard work of Nancy Lynch and her staff at Archbishop Lyke (ABL) and Rachael Dengler and her staff at St. Thomas Aquinas (STA) we can say our launch in Cleveland is wonderful! One happy problem is that we may actually have to hire two more teachers and a teacher's aid!!
October 6 Launch Celebration (digital)
We are putting together a digital showcase of what has happened so far with Partnership Schools Cleveland and where we are headed. The Executive Director Jill Kafka and her staff will be introduced as well as Dr. Christian Davallis and me

It will be broadcast on October 6 at 5 PM and a link will be available for anyone to watch it later. I will be sending a link this week so that you can share it with your friends and associates.

I was schooled by Pete
A longtime friend of mine, Pete, came to visit St. Thomas this past week. His wife actually attended St. Thomas until 7th grade when they moved out of the neighborhood to Lakewood. As we were leaving the kindergarten class was marching down the "down" stairs when Pete spotted a little one whose shoes were untied. When he told her that she better tie her shoes she just continued (not sure she knew how to tie them). He stopped, knelt on one knee, and tied them. 
She was delighted, thanked him, and went to recess. Later that day I emailed Pete and told him how great that he did that and said, the kids just need a little help. He quickly replied, "We all could use a little help." Yes, indeed! Let the church say amen!
