Whole Kids Outreach<br />
Jordan Quinlan, Senior Students Jordan Quinlan, Easlyn Molitor, Sara Hasty,<br />
DB President Kirk Boschert, and WKO friends<br />
Ellington, Mo.: January 2-6 and January 9-13<br />
For the third year in a row, seniors from <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>DuBourg</strong> traveled to Ellington, Mo. in the southeastern<br />
portion of the state, near Popular Bluff. Nine seniors participated: Libby Elking, James<br />
Haessig, Sara Hasty, Jake Hogan, Sarah Hudson, Easlyn Molitor, Natalie Osmack, Shaun<br />
Peters, Jordan Quinlan. Several adults also chaperoned the project: Kirk Boschert, Ron<br />
Elking, Melissa Hoffman, Dave Peters and Fr. Mike Lydon.<br />
Whole Kids Outreach (WKO) is a faith-based nonprofit organization that reaches out to young<br />
mothers, often single, who are pregnant or have young children. Often poor, these young mothers<br />
need formation and education on how to be mothers. WKO also works on some home repair<br />
and yard projects for residents in the area to build good will. WKO owns over 100 acres, including<br />
twelve horses who need care. Sometimes referred to as “Missouri’s Appalachia,” WKO ministers<br />
to five rural counties around Ellington.<br />
Sr. Anne Francioni and her staff helped our students to care for the WKO grounds, find projects<br />
and make visits to young mothers and their families. Some home repair projects included roof<br />
repair, posthole digging, raking leaves, among others things. Feeding, grooming and watering<br />
the horses, mucking the stalls, and other activities were tasks that needed to be done daily.<br />
The students also shopped for groceries, cooked the main evening meal, and cleaned up afterwards.<br />
A nightly spiritual reflection was also part of the schedule, helping the students to see<br />
Christ in the work they did and the people they met. Their community life together was an integral<br />
part of their experience. Being in a rural and poor culture was also fodder for reflection. On<br />
the last night, a bonfire in the amply wooded area on WKO grounds was lit so that the students<br />
could roast marshmallows and tell stories. Greg Clark of the WKO staff was our leader that night<br />
and he also supplied some false scares in the woods!<br />
Jordan Quinlan delivered a reflection at the Pro-Life Mass on Thursday, January 20, back at<br />
<strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>DuBourg</strong>, along with three other students – Robbie Mard, Michelle Stein and Ryan<br />
Bahr – who worked at different sites. Jordan reflected upon her WKO experience, citing several<br />
people and activities that helped her see Christ in others and to appreciate afresh her life at home<br />
in St. Louis
Dear DB Family,<br />
As we enter a<br />
new calendar<br />
year, it is time to<br />
start planning for<br />
next school year.<br />
The course selection process for<br />
the <strong>2012</strong>‐13 school year should<br />
be completed on <strong>February</strong> 2rd.<br />
Counselors will speak with any<br />
student who did not accurately<br />
complete the course selection<br />
process. The administration will<br />
also contact any student who has<br />
not paid the fee. Once the course<br />
selection process is completed<br />
and the $200 fee is paid, students<br />
will receive a Course Selection<br />
Report in advisory on <strong>February</strong><br />
21st. Students must return a<br />
signed copy of the report by<br />
Monday, <strong>February</strong> 27th.<br />
After the course requests have<br />
been entered, the number of sec‐<br />
tions, the teacher assignments,<br />
and the schedule for next school<br />
year is determined. Schedule<br />
conflicts can occur because<br />
From the Principal<br />
courses may be offered only during<br />
one period. When a schedule con‐<br />
flict occurs, alternate courses will be<br />
substituted into the student’s sched‐<br />
ule.<br />
In the rare occurrence that a student<br />
should need to make a schedule<br />
change, there is a $25 fee for the<br />
schedule change. Changes should<br />
only be made for academic reasons.<br />
Not all requests for schedule<br />
changes will be honored. If the<br />
course change is teacher initiated,<br />
the $25 fee will be waived.<br />
It is very important for both stu‐<br />
dents and parents to understand the<br />
registration process and the courses<br />
that are offered. If at any time you<br />
have questions, please do not hesi‐<br />
tate to contact the guidance counsel‐<br />
ors, learning consultants or dean of<br />
students. The DB faculty and staff<br />
are available to answer questions to<br />
ensure that the students have the<br />
best courses not just for next year,<br />
but for their remaining years at DB.<br />
Easter Monday we will again host<br />
our Cavalier For A Day. Last year<br />
we had over 150 fifth through sev‐<br />
enth grade students participate in<br />
this day‐long event that provides an<br />
in depth look at what it’s like to be a<br />
Cavalier. We are hope for a great<br />
turnout again this year. For more<br />
information, contact Mr. Ryan<br />
Sykora at 314.783.4419.<br />
A special congratulations to all of<br />
the students who made the Honor<br />
Roll for their hard work and aca‐<br />
demic achievements last fall.<br />
The DB community is proud of our<br />
seniors for their hard work on their<br />
service projects. Listening to their<br />
many stories has been inspiring. So<br />
many of them have changed as a<br />
person, changed their views about<br />
other people, and changed their<br />
whole outlook on life. Our goal is<br />
for them to continue this service<br />
throughout their lives.<br />
In Service to Christ,<br />
Principal<br />

Adopt‐A‐Family<br />
Religion classes at <strong>Bishop</strong> DuB‐<br />
ourg joined forces with groups<br />
of faculty who volunteered to<br />
make Christmas happen for 15<br />
families in need from St. Vin‐<br />
cent DePaul Parish in St. Louis.<br />
These families were given to<br />
Campus Ministry by Sr. Jackie<br />
Toebbin of St. Vincent’s. She<br />
said that these families were in<br />
need due to poverty often times<br />
caused by family members who<br />
are incarcerated. Sr. Jackie told<br />
us that these familes often fall<br />
through the cracks of social ser‐<br />
vices who could possibly pro‐<br />
vide funds for them and their<br />
children. These families are of‐<br />
ten times single parents or<br />
grandparents trying to raise the<br />
children.<br />
Fifteen religion classes, as well<br />
as faculty members formed<br />
teams, collected money,<br />
shopped, and wrapped the gifts<br />
for their adopted families. Each<br />
family was provided new cloth‐<br />
ing items and toys for the chil‐<br />
dren. “This was a wonderful<br />
experience— seeing faculty<br />
teams and students and their<br />
religion teachers pour out their<br />
love for others in need. It cre‐<br />
ated the real meaning of Christ‐<br />
mas spirit for the <strong>Bishop</strong> DuB‐<br />
ourg Community.”<br />
The 12 families that were<br />
helped included over 60 people,<br />
both adults and children. Cam‐<br />
pus Ministers Mrs. Leibrecht<br />
DB Connection<br />
Faith & Service<br />
and Mr. Driscoll, along with a<br />
few of the religion classes<br />
loaded three vans full of gifts<br />
which were delivered to Sr.<br />
Jackie on December 21, 2011.<br />
Thank you for your continued<br />
participation and generosity!<br />

Service Projects<br />
The Class of <strong>2012</strong> participated<br />

year and do much to fulfill our<br />
mission statement of<br />
“developing leaders in faith<br />
and service.”<br />
Sophomore Prayer Day<br />

went on a bus trip with the Office of Youth Ministry—<br />
The Way, The Truth, The Life. They travelled to march<br />

the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). In front of the Lin‐<br />

Second semester is in full swing and Progress Report<br />
Night is right around the corner. Hopefully, everyone<br />
is in the study mode and doing well. Students should<br />
be using Academic Hour to ask teachers for extra help.<br />
Academic Hour was created so students can get any<br />
and all extra help they may need or want to ensure<br />
success. We also have Homework Club on Tuesdays,<br />
Wednesdays and Thursdays after school.<br />
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with credit make‐<br />
up needs will be receiving information about DB Tuto‐<br />
rial later in the spring. DB Tutorial for underclassmen<br />
will be available in the summer only.<br />
Seniors should be wrapping up their college search<br />
and making decisions soon. Financial Aid forms<br />
(FAFSA) should be completed as soon as possible.<br />
Juniors have finished their college planning meetings<br />
with their counselors. Parents, please ask them about<br />
their meetings and the information discussed. College<br />
planning takes a lot of time and research. The internet<br />
is a great source of information. Helpful links can be<br />
found under the Guidance link at<br />
www.bishopdubourg.org<br />
Sophomores and Freshmen received their PLAN and<br />
EXPLORE results in class and they discussed career<br />
options and choices. It was fun to hear them com‐<br />
menting about skills/abilities needed and salary<br />
ranges. Ask your sons or daughters what they learned<br />
about themselves, college readiness and their testing<br />
skills. ACT provides tons of information on these<br />
score reports. Check out www.act.org for some spe‐<br />
cific information for students and parents about both<br />
the PLAN and the EXPLORE tests.<br />
ACT Dates and Registration<br />
The next ACT is April 14th. The registration deadline<br />
is <strong>March</strong> 10th. After that, the next test date is June 9<br />
with a registration deadline of May 5th. Juniors<br />
should plan on taking this test in April and/ or in June.<br />

you forgot your codes/ passwords. If you have con‐<br />
cerns about your son or daughter’s progress, please<br />
contact his or her guidance counselor.<br />
In addition, encourage your son or daughter to look<br />
beyond the here and now. The more planning that<br />
goes into their future, the brighter it looks. Talk with<br />
them about their goals and post‐high school plans.<br />
