#ThrowbackThursday. While searching through old photos for DM50, we discovered a folder from a floppy disk labeled “Catch ’Em Being Good” from May 2000. It’s always fun to uncover these memories from St. Rita’s history.
Check these pictures out.

Preschool Community Helpers! Our preschool students are learning about different community helpers and the important jobs they do. Recently, Leigh Jewell from Freedom Dental of West Chester visited to talk about being a dental hygienist and how they help keep our teeth healthy. Students even had fun dressing up like dental hygienists and learning more about taking care of their smiles. Who knows, we might have some future community helpers in our midst!

Preschool Community Helpers. Each year, our preschool students learn about community helpers and the important roles they play. Last week we were excited to welcome a firefighter who visited our class and shared about their job. Our students enjoyed learning how firefighters from the Evendale Fire Dept. help keep our community safe. Thank you for visiting St. Rita! 💚

💚 Last Friday, it was wonderful seeing our entire school wearing our new green shirts that say, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength – Philippians 4:13.”
Amen to that! At St. Rita, we remind our students every day that their disabilities do not define or limit them. We encourage them to break barriers and believe in what they can achieve. Thanks to one of our SLP staff, Ms. Meg, for ordering those shirts for us!
We proudly wore these shirts as we welcomed our new Archbishop, Casey, to the first Mass at St. Rita.

Our Dream Makers Scholarship Benefit started decades ago with a Rolls Royce grand prize and simple bologna sandwiches. Now, 50 years later, we’re celebrating with Glitz, Glamour & Giving. As we prepare for DM50, we’re putting together a special anniversary video and slideshow to honor the memories, milestones, and the amazing people who made it all possible.

Were you part of Dream Makers over the years? Did you volunteer, sponsor, attend, or win a prize? We’d love to hear from you!

Share your stories, photos, or a short video message and help us celebrate 50 incredible years.

🍦😋 Ice Cream Taste Test! Last Friday, in Mrs. Nanci and Mrs. Kindra's class, our students had fun doing a taste test of different ice cream flavors. There were lots of smiles and happy reactions! In the end, mint chocolate chip was the clear favorite. What is your favorite ice cream flavor??
