Happy Thursday!   All current kindergarten through seventh-grade families received the scholarship forms for the 2026-2027 school year.  Please return those as soon as possible, to allow time to get the renewal process completed.  Please be sure to sign the forms, making any needed changes, and return them with  a current utility bill .  The utility bill must show a service and mailing address.  The utility bill can be sent back in the envelope or emailed to Mrs. T at ...

Happy Thursday!     On Tuesday, our staff and students spent the day in Eucharistic Adoration (postponed from Catholic Schools Week due to snow days).  While we typically spend the first Tuesday in Adoration from 12:30-1:30, and many of our junior high students choose to spend their recess with Jesus each week, this is the first time that we had an entire school day set aside for Eucharistic Adoration.  Deacon Jim exposed the Blessed Sacrament at the start of the day, and the

Happy Thursday!     Even though this is our first day in session this week, it is still the normal evening for this update!   Our Annual Calendar Raffle ticket sales are underway.   As of today, we have sold just shy of 1000 tickets, which is just a portion of our goal of 1600 tickets.  Our next whole school prize will be at 1000 tickets--a Shirt Day!  I have also been drawing a weekly winner for a Dress Down Pass and ice cream treat.   Hot lunch is available daily in our caf

Happy Thursday!     Yesterday we celebrated Mass with Father David Kidd, the Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Toledo.  Our fourth through eighth-grade boys stayed after Mass and spent some time listening to Father Kidd discuss vocations.     Just a reminder that on Tuesday evening, January 27, there will be meetings regarding upcoming class trips.  The meeting for the 5th and 6th grade camp is at 6:00, and the meeting for the 7th and 8th grade DC trip is at 6:30.  Bot

Happy Thursday! Happy Snow Day!

Our Annual Calendar Raffle ticket sales are underway.   As of today, we have sold just over 700 tickets, which earned our students a Hat Day today.  Our next whole school prize will be at

Happy Thursday!   Report cards will be coming home tomorrow.    Our Annual Calendar Raffle ticket sales are underway.   As of today, we have sold just over 500 tickets, which earned our students a Hat Day today.  Our next whole school prize will be at 1000 tickets--a Shirt Day!  I have also been drawing a weekly winner for a Dress Down Pass and ice cream treat.   Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria .  The lunch menu for next week is walking taco on Tuesday, breakfas

Happy Thursday! It was definitely a busy week at ICS.  Our first graders went to the Willows for their Annual Christmas caroling.  The residents always enjoy listening to our students as they sing Christmas songs.   As a school, we donated over 750 hats, gloves, and mittens to Pass It On.    Congratulations to the fifth graders--they brought in the most and won a popcorn bar.   Our students did a wonderful job in the program this afternoon and evening.  As always, Mrs. Schust

Happy Thursday! We began this week by celebrating Mass for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception as a school family.  Father celebrated this Mass ad orientum, which was the first time that most of our Saints had ever done this before.  Leading up to the Holy Day, Deacon Jim stopped in all of the classes to talk a little bit about this.  He explained that for centuries, this is how Catholic liturgy was celebrated; the celebration of Mass facing the people was officially encou

Happy Thursday! It was a busy week at ICS.  On Monday, Mrs. Delaney Naugle, our intervention teacher,  was named the Bellevue Lions Teacher of the month.  We are grateful for all that Mrs. Naugle does here for all of our staff and students.  She is a blessing to have at our school. Our younger students had our annual visit from Mrs. Jody Chaffee, of the Firelands Symphony Orchestra who shared all of her incredible music talents with the students!  Tomorrow, our third and four

Happy Wednesday! With the holiday tomorrow, we wanted to send this out this evening, rather than interrupting Thanksgiving.  On behalf of the staff at Immaculate Conception, I would like to wish a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all. Students were given their Raffle Tickets on Monday.  We are asking that each student sell at least 10 tickets.  Let's use the holidays as a time to sell to family and friends! Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria .  The lunch menu for

Happy Thursday! Our Annual Christmas afternoon program will begin at 12:45.  This is a change from the original time that was sent home to families last week.  Please let anyone who is planning to come to the program know we will be starting at 12:45. On Monday, students will be bringing home the raffle tickets to kick off our Annual Basket Raffle.  We ask that each student sell at least 10 tickets.  With the holidays approaching, we hope that our students are able to make mo

Happy Thursday!   We still need one more basket to complete our calendar for the Annual Calendar Basket Raffle.  If you or someone you know would be willing to donate a basket (valued at least $100), please let me know.  Ticket sales will begin the week of Thanksgiving.   Tomorrow is a dress-down day for staff and students to help raise money to purchase gift cards for Thanksgiving baskets.  Please see the attached flyer for more details.    I have had a couple of parents (pa

Happy Thursday!   Families are invited to come to First Friday Devotions on the first Friday of every month for a Holy Hour that includes Eucharistic Adoration, Evening Prayer, and Benediction.  The next First Friday is  tomorrow evening , November 7, from 5:30-6:30 pm.   Deacon Jim is beginning to train new servers!  The qualifications are that a student must be Catholic, in at least 4th grade, and be available to serve at weekend Masses at Immaculate Conception. The trainin

Happy Thursday!   For our parents who pick up their students after school, we have had to make a change regarding that procedure.  The Bellevue buses that come to pick up our students on Broad Street at the end of the day DO NOT activate the stop sign that prohibits cars from going around the buses (they are not permitted to do so, as this is a loading and unloading zone, similar to any other school).  Because of this, cars just go around the buses.  Our students (and parents

Happy Thursday!     Tomorrow morning we will have Houses for the first time this year.  We are all excited to spend time building community with our House Family.   Reminder that we do not have school on Monday, October 27, due to a Teacher Work Day. Next Friday, O ctober 31, we will be having our Annual Halloween Celebration.  All students are invited to wear their costumes to school that day and remain in them for the entire day. Some things to remember with regard to costu

Happy Thursday!     Tomorrow is the last day of the first quarter--where has the time gone?!   This Saturday, our eighth graders will be celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation in Toledo at Holy Rosary Cathedral.  Congratulations to our students and families as they receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.     School picture retake day is next Tuesday, October 21. Any student who was absent on the original picture day will have his or her picture taken.  If you were not satisf
