Welcome to Immaculate Conception School!

"Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ,
of helping to form Christ in the lives of others…”
-St. John Paul II
​
It has been an exciting few weeks at Immaculate Conception School. During the months of February and March, our second graders, along with their families, celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. They are now continuing their preparation for First Holy Communion, which will be celebrated in June. A few weeks ago, our eighth graders were confirmed by Bishop Thomas during a beautiful Mass in Toledo.
​
As a school family, we are using the season of Lent to pray the Stations together weekly and to continue our time in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. During Holy Week, our eighth graders, Father Al, Deacon Jim, and Mrs. DeBlase will be traveling to Toledo to celebrate the Chrism Mass with the Bishop and others from the Diocese. We will be having a school-wide retreat in our Houses during Holy Week as well. We are also collecting money for the Rice Bowls, with a competition among grade levels (the prize--a class pizza party!). If you would like to contribute to our Rice Bowls, please let us know in the school office.
​
It is also a busy time, as we are now into the fourth quarter of the school year. We are currently completing our MAP testing (the state-required tests in ELA, Math, Reading, and Science) along with the ARK test (the religion test that our Diocese requires) with all of our elementary students. Some of our teachers are planning end-of-the-year field trips, and Mrs. Davis is already planning for our Annual Fun Day.
​
Finally, remember that ALL OHIO FAMILIES are eligible for the state’s EdChoice Scholarship Program (for grades kindergarten through twelve). Scholarship amounts are income-based. Please share this information with anyone you know who has ever considered attending Immaculate Conception School. I have said this repeatedly--money should never be a consideration when choosing a school for your child. This is especially the case now, as all families who apply are eligible for tuition scholarships! This is a fairly simple process, with some of it having to be entered by the principal, and the rest done online by the parents.
​
This is a very exciting time for all of us. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Immaculate Mary, pray for us!
Mrs. Joy Tokarsky, Principal
