News for the families of <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>DuBourg</strong> High School<br />

<strong>February</strong>—<strong>March</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

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 />

Senior Christian<br />

Service Projects<br />

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

in the annual Christian Service<br />

ter. These retreats continue to<br />

be a highlight of each senior’s<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 />

Our Sophomore Day of Prayer<br />

is April 13th. During this day,<br />

sophomores give service for 2‐3<br />

went on a bus trip with the Office of Youth Ministry—<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 />

College Rep Visits<br />

College Representatives are again visiting the guid‐<br />

Please encourage your son or daughter to visit with<br />

We encourage parents to discuss your son or daugh‐<br />

ter’s progress this quarter. We can’t stress how impor‐<br />

tant it is to stay on track and keep up with classwork<br />

and homework. You can get up‐to‐date grade and<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 />
