Internet Safety Presentation Grades 5-8
On Friday, April 17, Detective Mary Braun of the Cincinnati
Police Department came and spoke to middle school students
in two separate sessions. With 5th and 6th graders, Detective
Braun focused on cyberbullying from both the victim and the
bully's perspective, including the motives of those who cause
cyberbullying incidents and actions that victims can take. She
also discussed cyberbullying with 7th and 8th grade students,
but expanded the conversation to include other internet safety
issues such as predator avoidance and the students' digital
footprint.
Telling a trusted adult is a victim's first tool in dealing with
Internet safety problems. However, it is not always easy to take
that step. Detective Braun's contact information is being given
to 7th and 8th grade students. If your student confides in you
on an issue related to Internet Safety or you have questions,
you can contact Detective Braun (or the Cincinnati Police
Department) at 513-946-8335.

FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
Last week, Sixth Grade Parents should have received an important letter in a separate envelope
from me. The letter was about a mandatory immunization incoming 7th graders are required to
have. If you have not done so already, please schedule your 6th grade student for a well child
visit before school starts in August, if he/she has not already received this vaccination.
Thank you,
Mrs. Strominger
School Nurse
HEALTH & WELLNESS
Spring sports have started so it's important to keep kids hydrated. Consider replacing
sport drinks with coconut water.
Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks
(117 mg) and most energy drinks.
Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and
energy drinks have about 200 mg.
Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range
from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.
Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at
39mg.
Coconut Water Benefits
Coconut water is incredibly healthy and one of the best drinks to hydrate the body.
Besides helping to remove toxins from the body and aiding digestion, coconuts have
amazing anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that help to cure diseases.

Important Information from Matthew Fisher, Athletic President
As the news has reported over the past several month, the CYO has decided to disband at the
end of this school year. To fill this void the Archdiocese has held several meetings with parishes
in the Archdiocese. These meetings have led to creation of a new league for girls basketball
and volleyball called the Greater Cincinnati Catholic League (GCCL).
In addition to the formation of this new league, the question of what time of year the sports
should play. Each parish / school must choose whether to offer girls volleyball in the fall and girls
basketball in the winter (similar to the high seasons) or vice versa, as has been the case for
many years now. After much debate and discussion of the pros and cons of each alternative and
realizing that most schools (especially those that we traditionally play) are moving to girls
volleyball in the fall and girls basketball in the winter, the Christ the King/Cardinal Pacelli Athletic
Commission voted to offer girls volleyball in the fall and girls basketball in the winter starting this
fall.
Boys Basketball will continue to be played in the winter. Work is taking place on this league
formation and we will forward information as it becomes available.
