One of the most touching moments from our recent graduation ceremony 💚🎓Mrs. Kim had the special honor of presenting Hunter, one of our seniors, with a high school diploma. She has known him since kindergarten. Years ago, when she was a teacher in Dayton public schools, she presented his kindergarten diploma. Now, as a teacher at St. Rita School for the Deaf, she had the honor of presenting his high school diploma.

What a full circle moment and beautiful reminder of the lasting impact teachers can have in a student’s journey ❤️

As Dummy Hoy Day approaches this Saturday, May 23, we continue the effort to honor his legacy and help gain recognition for his place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame ⚾ While exploring Fr. Waldhaus’ personal photo album, we discovered historic photos of Dummy Hoy with a group of baseball players in 1926 and 1927. We are still unsure of the full story behind the photos, but we strongly believe some of the players may have been connected to St. Rita, as we recognized some familiar names. What an incredible piece of history 💚

Please help support Dummy Hoy by signing the petition to help get him into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. More information can be found in the comments below.

Last week, students in grades 3–12 enjoyed a special field trip to Main Event 💚 This fun trip was a reward for students’ positive behavior and hard work throughout the school year. Students and teachers had a great time playing games, spending time together, and making fun memories before the end of the school year 🎉

What a great way to celebrate a successful year!

This morning, our Preschool Department hosted its very first Preschool Prom! As we get ready for the end of the school year, we wanted to help create special memories for our preschool students and make them feel extra special. Everyone dressed up for the big event and enjoyed dancing, fun activities, tasty snacks, a photobooth, and of course… even more dancing

It was a morning full of smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories before the school year comes to an end!
