Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis Walk

Scotus Central Catholic

Dear Friends and Family,

This year, our team will be walking in the Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis Walk in Omaha! Your donation will help support local patient programs, as well as important research projects. This cause is very important to us and I appreciate your help as we fight for a cure! In addition to donating, you can join us at the event as a member of our team. There will be food, music and kid's activities. The more money we raise, the closer we will be to making life more manageable for patients who live with these diseases every day.

We walk in honor of Alycia who has suffered from Crohn's Disease for many years. Alycia is a true inspiration and the Local Honored Hero at this year's walk!

From the Alt Family here at Scotus - please read the rest of the Letter written by Alyica Alt by clicking here.

This is the time of the year when most Scotus Central Catholic staff burn the candle at both ends. The school is preparing for the completion of this school year including, prom, gala, awards night, athletic banquet, multiple district and state championship competitions, graduation and oh yah, by the way, continuing the education of the students. At the same time Scotus is devoting extensive time to planning for the beginning of the next school year. Both are very important tasks and neither can be postponed or just “kind of” completed.

And in between will be all the summer maintenance projects. This is one more task(s) that must be done right. The condition of the building is extremely important and has progressed positively for several years. A long range facilities plan is in place and consequently each summer there are several tasks beyond regular maintenance.

This summer upgrade projects include replacing the windows on the south side of the science wing and in the weight room. This will improve the school’s heating and cooling efficiency along with an improved esthetic appearance.

A permanent wall be placed where currently there is a sliding wall between the two second floor computer labs. They will dramatically improve the functionality of the two classrooms.

New tile will be laid in the Science Wing classrooms and in the entire Dowd Center hallway.

The project of replacing the wiring backbone for technology access will be completed this summer with the replacement of the old wiring in the Science Wing. During this past school year the upgrade in wiring in the rest of the building has been readily apparent when working with technology.

The past several months the faculty completed a technology needs assessment. From this assessment came a plan to purchase of I-Pads, Document Cameras, Projectors, and Apple TV’s along with some projector screens. Each faculty member made individual requests, identifying the technology they believe would benefit the students in their personal classroom. Next fall all faculty receiving new equipment will be required to demonstrate how the new technology is enhancing learning in their classroom.

Very little of the expense for these upgrades comes from the general budget. Most of it comes from very generous supporters who recognize a need at Scotus and then with their dollars make a dream into a reality. Scotus Central Catholic is blessed to have many generous supporters, people who believe in the mission of Scotus and Catholic school education. Without them, either our building would not be nearly as nice or the parent tuition would be significantly higher.

On the behalf of the student body, parents and staff; Thank you!
