Volunteers needed to judge Science Fair!
Science Fair will be a virtual event this year, but I am still in need of judges. A science or engineering background is nice, but not a requirement. In accordance with the State Science Fair guidelines, students will be preparing a narrated Google Slide presentation for their project. I will make these files accessible to judges through a Google Drive. If all goes to plan, judging will be open the third and fourth weeks of January. I'm estimating each presentation to be around five minutes, and judges would likely be responsible for scoring eight presentations. I will provide a score sheet and a list of standardized questions. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please email me at cbigelow@stcharleskettering.org

Adhere to the Ohio Travel Advisory Ohio’s travel advisory continues to recommend that people self-quarantine for 14 days if entering Ohio after travel to any state reporting a positive COVID-19 testing rate of 15% or higher. The advisory is intended for both leisure and business travel and should be heeded by both Ohioans and out-of-state travelers. Positivity rate information for Ohio’s travel advisory is updated once a week on Wednesdays.
We also want to continue families to adhere to COVID-19 prevention strategies:
- Minimize contact with the people outside your immediate family.
- Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Put distance between yourself and other people (at least 6 feet).
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily.
- Wear masks in public settings and when around people outside of their household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Celebrate with us on Tuesday, December 8 at 6 a.m., 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The latter two Masses will be live streamed on our website. While a Holy Day, it is not a day of obligation this year, due to continued COVID-19 restrictions.
Advent Reconciliation Service
What better way to prepare for the coming of our Lord than readying our hearts in the Sacrament of Reconciliation? A Reconciliation Service will be held on Tuesday, December 15 at 7 p.m. in the Church. There will be time for communal prayer and reflection, and we will finish with individual reconciliation. If it has been a while and you need a refresher on the sacrament, check out our pamphlets in the Hospitality Room.

FREE Lunches will continue till the end of the year!
(Students still have to pay for certain ala cart items)
St. Albert Nutrition Service is happy to pass along that the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending flexibilities to allow free meals to continue to be available to all children throughout the entire 2020-2021 school year. This unprecedented move is part of USDA’s unwavering commitment to ensuring all children across America have access to nutritious food as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to Free Breakfast and Lunch to all students, we have applied for and received a grant which helps provide funds to allow more fresh fruits and vegetables to students. Please help us encourage your students to take all the items available to them. If packing, students can grab a “Sidekick” bag containing a fruit, vegetable and milk free of charge!
