<strong>Father</strong> <strong>Lopez</strong><br />
Catholic <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
Vision Statement<br />
<strong>Father</strong> <strong>Lopez</strong> Catholic<br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a Christ-<br />
centered community of<br />
learners. We believe that<br />
spiritual formation in<br />
the Catholic tradition<br />
and academic rigor<br />
creates a positive culture<br />
where all students are<br />
free to discover their<br />
human potential<br />
through scholarly<br />
pursuits, athletics, and<br />
service leadership.<br />
Dear Lord,<br />
we ask that you bless<br />
the community of<br />
<strong>Father</strong> <strong>Lopez</strong> Catholic<br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Help us to uphold the<br />
virtues instilled here in<br />
your name, that we<br />
may grow in knowledge<br />
and faith, so that we<br />
may better serve you in<br />
all that we do.<br />
We ask this through<br />
Christ our Lord.<br />
Amen<br />

ARE YOU CURRENT WITH YOUR <strong>2011</strong>-2012 TUITION?<br />
<strong>September</strong> 21, <strong>2011</strong><br />
Our thanks to all our families for their timely payments on their <strong>2011</strong>-2012 tuition – we appreciate your<br />
good stewardship. If you need to check your payment or tuition account balance, you may access your<br />
RenWeb account statement by logging on to RenWeb’s <strong>Parent</strong>s Web (see instructions below). If you do<br />
not have internet access, please call us and we will send you a paper statement.<br />
If you are using the installment payment service by Smart Tuition, you may verify your account and payment<br />
information by going to www.smartuition.com or calling 1-888-868-8828. If you have not enrolled<br />
for the service yet, you may still do so by contacting Smart Tuition or you may print an enrollment form<br />
by going to the school’s website and selecting “Registration Packets for <strong>2011</strong>-2012” and following the<br />
instructions under Step 2B. You must then send the enrollment to the school to the attention of Mrs.<br />
Carmen Rivera.<br />
Here’s an important note about how electronic bill pay services work with Smart Tuition (and many<br />
vendors). If you use a bill pay service (usually through your bank or home bookkeeping software such as<br />
Quicken), please realize that the bill pay service is issuing a paper check and mailing it to the payee. It is<br />
not an electronic funds transfer. You will need to allow time for processing and mailing. Please check<br />
that the payment date you select on the bill pay service is far enough in advance of the Smart Tuition<br />
due date to allow for this. This will help you avoid any late fees imposed by Smart Tuition. The payment<br />
receipt by Smart Tuition is determined by when they physically receive your payment, not when your<br />
bank subtracts the funds from your bank account. If you have any questions about this, you should contact<br />
Smart Tuition at the contact information listed above.<br />
Here’s how to access your account via <strong>Parent</strong>'s Web access. Go to the school's website (www.fatherlopez.org)<br />
by selecting the Quick Links "Ren Web Log In." You need to have a registered email with the school. If<br />
you included your email on the registration documents, then you'll be all set. If you did not, please send<br />
the correct information to Mr. Mike Everett at meverett@fatherlopez.org.<br />
Should you need to contact us at the school, here is the contact information for Mrs. Rivera and Mrs.<br />
Lloyd.<br />
� Mrs. Carmen Rivera: (386) 255-6556, ext. 325; crivera@fatherlopez.org<br />
� Mrs. Karen Lloyd: (386) 255-6556, ext. 306; klloyd@fatherlopez.org<br />

It has been another busy week for the families here at <strong>Father</strong> <strong>Lopez</strong>. I would like to thank Coach Sue<br />
O’Malley for giving me the names of her wonderful parents who have donated on behalf of the cross<br />
country teams. I have also heard from a couple swim team parents who have let me know about their<br />
volunteer time. The football team parents have been busy feeding our boys before and after every game,<br />
not just meals, but also healthy snacks. Thank you to our faithful football parents, Ann Spilman, JoAnn<br />
Peters, Michelle Waddell, Carol Hogan, Ronna Haigh, Ginny and John McFarland and Cathy Mowen. I<br />
also want to thank the Larsen family, Tracie and Jarrod Rathbun and Audrey Pingshaw for their help<br />
during the volleyball games on Thursday night, as well as Laura Bader for her front desk assistance. One<br />
last note, families who participate in many of the fundraisers or make donations to their child’s class,<br />
club or team qualify for service hour credit (one hour of service per $20).<br />
There will be a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, <strong>September</strong> 27 th at 6:00 p.m. in the France Family Multi-<br />
Purpose Building. This is an opportunity for parents and family members to hear about any school updates<br />
and to be a part of an information session with the administration team.<br />
Thank you for everything you do!<br />
Upcoming volunteer opportunities include but are not limited to:<br />
Town Hall Meeting – Tuesday, <strong>September</strong> 27 th at 6:00 p.m.<br />

I am so pleased to see our community honor our alumni. So far the Booster Club golf committee has<br />
received four golf hole sponsorships in memory of our schoolmates who have passed away. Michael<br />
Crotty (’86), Jerry Coble (’82), Scott Groeschner (’86) and lost loved ones from the class of 1960 have<br />
golf hole sponsorships. Golf hole sponsorships are not just for memorials, but also a great way to advertise<br />
a business, team or club. And that is not the only way to memorialize lost alumni, loved ones or<br />
friends of our school. We have the brick pavers that can be placed around the flag poles at the stadium,<br />
naming opportunities around the school and scholarships that can assist our students.<br />
I have to recognize Coach Sue O’Malley and the cross country teams. They were the first to purchase a<br />
golf sponsorship on behalf of Scott Groeschner. Scott was a four year cross country runner and team<br />
captain when he was a student here in the 1980’s. After graduating from <strong>Father</strong> <strong>Lopez</strong>, he went on to<br />
Notre Dame and then into the Navy. He was a part of the SEAL Team 2 and SEAL team 8 until 2000<br />
when he was assigned to the U.S. Sixth Fleet in Gaeta, Italy. He was tragically killed off duty while cycling<br />
in the Ukraine on November 12, 2004. Thank you Coach Sue and Green Wave runners for your<br />
honor and support!<br />
If you have any alumni updates please share them with Monica MacIntyre, Director of Alumni, <strong>Parent</strong><br />
and Volunteer Relations at mmacintyre@fatherlopez.org.<br />
The votes have been counted and the results are in for the Class of 2015 election! Congratulations to our<br />

Our desire to be the best high school in the state<br />
of Florida begins with you and your support and<br />
the athletic department wants to thank all of our<br />
current sponsors for their backing and assistance.<br />
The response we have received thus far has been<br />
fantastic! Our goal for the year is to raise $200,000<br />
and because of you we are one quarter of the way<br />
there. However, we still have a long way to go.<br />
The athletic department wants to remind you that<br />
we still have numerous opportunities for sponsors<br />
to become involved, including home games, programs,<br />
and upcoming tournaments. Remember<br />
that no gift is too small and we will work with you<br />
to create a sponsorship tailor made for your<br />
needs.<br />
If you have any questions do not hesitate to call<br />
Coach Fernandez (ext. 308) or Coach Berryhill at<br />
(386) 255-6556. The students, coaches, and staff<br />
again thank you for your support and hope to see<br />
you at the games!<br />

Male Athlete of the Week<br />
Tony Ludovico, Football<br />
The Varsity Football team defeated St. Joseph’s Academy Fri-<br />
day night <strong>23</strong>-14. The Green Wave was led by Tony Ludovico<br />
who carried the ball 7 times for 146 yards and two touch-<br />
downs. Justin Bryant scored the other touchdown on a 3-yard<br />
run set up by a 62-yard interception return by Joe<br />
Boden. Tommy Roache kicked a 32-yard field goal to round<br />
out the scoring.<br />
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.<br />
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re<br />
on your own and you know what you know. You are the<br />
guy who will decide where to go.<br />

INTERNATIONAL<br />
STUDENT<br />
PROGRAM<br />
<strong>Lopez</strong> is looking for<br />
safe, supportive and<br />
culturally sensitive<br />
homes to host<br />
international students<br />
through the school<br />
year.<br />
We are also looking for<br />
families who would be<br />
willing to host an<br />
exchange student from<br />
France for the month of<br />
February! Our hope is<br />
that families with<br />
students who are<br />
currently enrolled in<br />
French here might want<br />
to host a French<br />
student in February and<br />
then their child would<br />
go over to France for a<br />
month during the<br />
summer to study. It<br />
would truly be a cultural<br />
exchange.<br />
Get<br />
Organized!<br />
WHAT ARE THE<br />
BENEFITS OF HOSTING?<br />
Make a difference in the life of a<br />
young person.<br />
Enrich the lives of your family.<br />
Increase cultural awareness in your<br />
community.<br />
Support diversity and cross-cultural<br />
awareness at home.<br />
Teach a student about American values.<br />
Experience the joy of having a new<br />
family member to love.<br />
Share a new language and culture.<br />
Build a life-long friendship.<br />
Practice hospitality and generosity in<br />
your own home.<br />
Grow closer as a family.<br />

God Bless our Troops!<br />
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. - Elmer Davis
The Volusia Honor Air flight will be taking 100 WWII veterans to Washington DC Saturday,<br />
9/24. This is the 8 th flight from the local area, and is designed to honor the WWII vets for<br />
their service, by taking them to DC to visit the WWII monument, Arlington Cemetery, and<br />
other sites. Of the 16,000,000 Americans that served during WWII, only 3 million are still<br />
alive and they are dying at 1200-1500 per day. The average age of the veterans going on<br />
the trip to DC is 90 years old. This special honor flight concept is occurring all over the<br />
USA, and is funded by donors, so the veterans do not pay for the trip. We had Mrs. Jerry<br />
King’s class write letters to the vets, thanking them for their service. These letters will be<br />
given to the veterans on the flight back to Daytona, as part of the old fashion “mail call”<br />
which is a very emotional time for the vets.<br />
If anyone from the <strong>Lopez</strong> community desires to be part of the “welcome” home celebration<br />
on Saturday evening, the US Airways chartered flight will arrive at the Daytona airport<br />
between 8-8:30 pm. The airport staff and the local honor air flight volunteers decorate<br />
and set up the terminal to welcome the group back after a very long day in DC. This is a<br />
great opportunity to honor local hero’s from the greatest generation. Hope to see you there!<br />
