St. Rita School for The Deaf

Happenings at St. Rita School for the Deaf

Students and staff have been working very hard on Clowns’ Play a participation play based on “Jack and The Beanstalk” for children of all ages and anyone who is young at heart. In this production the audience will be learning some sign language. The drama is this weekend May 1st and 2nd at 8:00 p.m. The cost is $5 an adult, $3 for children and seniors.

May 4th is the annual Golf Outing. If you would like to pledge a golfer, you still have time! Contact the development office if you would like to make a pledge.

May 17th is Sally’s Caring Hands and Walk. Sally Monahan was a St. Rita’s school counselor for over 12 years. She battled a rare cancer. When she was first diagnosed she said she was ready to accept whatever God had in mind. Her spirit throughout the illness was amazing. On May 19, 2006 Sally was accepted into God’s kingdom. To honor Sally and the loving service she gave to St. Rita School for the Deaf, her family and friends created the “Sally’s Caring Hands Scholarship Fund”. The money raised from the walk goes into the scholarship fund which is used to provide scholarships to students attending St. Rita School for the Deaf. It is a great family event with a walk, food, and family activities. You can register online or at the school. You can find more information at http://www.srsdeaf.org/events/sally/sally.html
