Character Counts
Each month, faculty and
staff at Crissey Elementary
School recognize students
who have exemplified exceptional
character related
to a specific trait.
The character trait that
students focused on for the
month of September was responsibility.
Throughout the month,
‘Seussical the Musical’ to be performed at Notre Dame Academy
“Seussical the Musical”
will be performed on October
26, and 27, at 7 p.m., and
October 28, at 2 p.m., at the
Ave Maria Performing Arts
Center at Notre Dame Academy,
3535 West Sylvania
Avenue.
In the musical, the Cat in
the Hat tells the story of
Horton, an elephant who
discovers a speck of dust
containing Whos, including
Jojo, a Who child sent off to
a butter battling military
school for thinking too many
“thinks.”
Horton’s attention to the
speck of dust and his “loitering”
care of Mayzie
LaBird’s egg has elicited
taunting and accusations
from the rest of the animal
kingdom, except for
Gertrude McFuzz, who
longs for his attention, and
JoJo, whose “thinks” save
them all in the end.
More than 75 students
from Notre Dame Academy,
St. John’s Jesuit High
School and St. Francis de
Sales High School are involved
in the production.

it in the Journal!
the Crissey staff helped students
understand what it
means to be responsible.
Students had an opportunity
to demonstrate responsibility
throughout all aspects of
their school day.
Some ways responsibility
was displayed by students
was in completing
homework, cleaning-up tables
at lunch, helping
friends at recess, and following
school rules.

On October 11 and 12, Penta Career Center’s floral design
and greenhouse production program and the landscape
and turfgrass management program, sponsored a
Fall Harvest Sale.
Pumpkins, corn stalks, mums, fall arrangements, Halloween
and fall décor, gifts, trees, and shrubs were available
for purchase, and some of the items were made by
students in other programs. Several instructors also displayed
their work.
The event also featured a homemade apple butter stir
made on site. The sweet concoction sold quickly before it
had time to cool in the jars.
Above, from left, are Springfield Schools and floral program
students Nicole Heffner, Jenna Tussing and Ashley
Soules. Enrolled in the floral design program, the students
display some of the flower arrangements available for purchase.

We Will Keep Ourselves
and Others Safe …
Each morning the students
hear this phrase on the
announcements as one of the
Dorr Statements of Belief.
In honoring this Belief at
Dorr, we recognized Fire
Safety Week with our students
and had special visitors
at our school to provide
education in fire safety.
Our local Springfield
Township Fire Department
sent representatives to share
their expertise with our
kindergarten students about
how to keep safe in preventing
fires and what to do in
the event of a fire.
The students were able to
participate in a presentation
on kitchen safety, view the
equipment on the fire truck,
try on fire safety gear, and
move through the fire safety
trailer.
We are thankful for our
wonderful community con-
Dorr students learn about fire safety from members of the
Springfield Township Fire Department.
nection with our local Thursday, November 1,

Department and appreciate
