has one purpose: to change the phrase
“be a Spartan” to “become a Spartan.”
 Hundreds of students in recent years have earned that title with the
 help of a scholarship funded either by our endowment or through a
 yearly gi . e consensus in the fundraising world is that a strong
 endowment gives a school like ours its best chance of success.

 Let me end my message by encouraging you to keep Roger Bacon’s
 future in mind and heart, to give generously to our annual fund,
 and to consider a planned gi for the next future Spartan.

 In His peace,

“Bleeding      Brown, Thinking
Pink” was the theme for Roger
Bacon’s annual SPIRIT WALK on
October 21st. The students voted
to wear pink shirts on their 5K
walk through the streets of St.
Bernard not only to show school
spirit but also to raise awareness
for breast cancer. A goal of
$40,000 was not only met but
surpassed! The proceeds of the
Walk are used to reduce the gap
between the cost of tuition and
the actual cost of education.
This year a portion of the
proceeds will also go to
“MAKING STRIDES AGAINST
BREAST CANCER.”

Spread the word
                                              by Brandon Cowans, Director of Admission




 Spread the word. Be a Spartan. This phrase has been used for many
 years here at Roger Bacon; most recently by our students at the end of
 our admission video. If you haven’t seen it, check out the Future Spartans
 page on our website. It shows the world exactly why someone should be
 a Spartan.


 New videos will be posted periodically to the website showing life
 at Roger Bacon. Our latest edition features the young women of Roger
 Bacon. There are so many single-sex schools in Cincinnati, it has become
 the norm. This video shows how great a co-ed school can be and how
 young women can thrive in this environment.


 Our message is working. Don’t take my word for it; hear it directly
 from a current freshman.

 “High school is a large part of your life, a time that is meant to broaden your
 horizons and prepare you for the future, which is why I couldn’t have made any
 better choice than Roger Bacon.
      My rst quarter here has been amazing and was lled with many unforgettable
 memories. Homecoming; there’s no better way to start your high school career
 than this, an entire week when the halls are lled with Spartan Spirit. Every day
 of homecoming week is lled with laughter and good times as the student body
 expresses their spirit by dressing up in odd, unusual ways. At the end of the week
 we come together in a loud, fun- lled pep rally to prepare for victory in Friday         If you know of a student

 night’s homecoming football game! e Spirit Walk is another memorable part               interested in Roger Bacon,

 all intellectual levels. Aside from academics Bacon o ers many extracurricular
 activities. During the rst quarter I was able to play football at all levels: Fresh-
 man, JV, and Varsity. We o er a variety of sports where everyone gets a chance
 to play and prove themselves as the next greatest. Roger Bacon is a school of
 challenging academics, sports, compassion, and will help you to become destined
 for success. e skills you learn here, the relationships you build here, and the
 hard work ethic that you achieve here will last you a lifetime. Roger Bacon is a
 place of excellence, a place of rich tradition, and most importantly the place
 for you to be.
      Roger Bacon High School has been everything I had hoped it would be and
 so much more. Roger Bacon is more than just a school. It’s a family, an accepting
 family that I’m proud to be a part of. I am proud to call myself a Spartan and look
 forward to my next three years here.”

 Spread the Word… Be a Spartan!

Remembering that every few seconds in the US someone needs blood,
family and friends joined RB students in the school auditorium to donate
a unit of blood in November. Thirty-five years and almost six thousand
pints of blood later, RB’s semi-annual blood drive event is the oldest
continuing blood drive of any high school in the city! This year’s blood
drive was held in memory of JUSTIN STARK, a former student at RB. He
passed away last April and his illness required a great deal of Hoxworth
blood products.

e RB CLASS OF 2015 participated in a SERVICE DAY RETREAT on October 19th
and October 26th. Students, accompanied by faculty and sta members spent the day
in Over-the-Rhine participating in one of several outreach programs and workshops
at Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, Our Daily Bread, EPIC House, Emmanuel
Community Center, Visions Daycare Center, Mercy/Franciscan at St. John’s,
and Peaslee Neighborhood Center.

   e purpose of the Service Day Retreat is to educate freshman students on the value
of service to the materially poor in the Franciscan tradition, to give back to our local
community, to develop a spirit of giving and to build community among the class.
Brittany Skelton from Over-the-Rhine Community Housing commented “It was
inspiring to see rst year students already engaging in service and giving back to
the community; I look forward to the many more great accomplishments these
students will surely have!”

On Tuesday, October 4th, the Feast of St Francis, RB teacher, KYLE NOBBE
(pictured right) attended the OHIO CATHOLIC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION’S
annual conference in Columbus, OH. Nobbe was selected to share with a group of fellow
Catholic educators how to incorporate Catholic values into a mathematics curriculum.
Nobbe gave examples of how service could be integrated into the topics taught in a
math classroom so that the hearts, as well as the minds of students could be shaped
in the image of Christ. e presentation included lessons that Nobbe used to connect
geometry to respect for life, exponential equations to serving at a soup kitchen,
statistics to stewardship to the earth, and graphing functions to caring for refugees.

Nobbe said, “ e lessons engage students on a deeper level than just academics. e
lessons are designed to help the students see the connections of the content to real-life
and to encourage them to look beyond themselves as they o er service to others.
Service learning is the ful llment of my ministry as a Catholic educator.”

The students voted to wear pink shirts on their 5K walk through the streets of St. Bernard not only to show school spirit but also to raise awareness for breast cancer.

  • 6. Spread the word by Brandon Cowans, Director of Admission Spread the word. Be a Spartan. This phrase has been used for many years here at Roger Bacon; most recently by our students at the end of our admission video. If you haven’t seen it, check out the Future Spartans page on our website. It shows the world exactly why someone should be a Spartan. New videos will be posted periodically to the website showing life at Roger Bacon. Our latest edition features the young women of Roger Bacon. There are so many single-sex schools in Cincinnati, it has become the norm. This video shows how great a co-ed school can be and how young women can thrive in this environment. Our message is working. Don’t take my word for it; hear it directly from a current freshman. “High school is a large part of your life, a time that is meant to broaden your horizons and prepare you for the future, which is why I couldn’t have made any better choice than Roger Bacon. My rst quarter here has been amazing and was lled with many unforgettable memories. Homecoming; there’s no better way to start your high school career than this, an entire week when the halls are lled with Spartan Spirit. Every day of homecoming week is lled with laughter and good times as the student body expresses their spirit by dressing up in odd, unusual ways. At the end of the week we come together in a loud, fun- lled pep rally to prepare for victory in Friday If you know of a student night’s homecoming football game! e Spirit Walk is another memorable part interested in Roger Bacon, of the rst quarter.

Roger Bacon is a place of excellence, a place of rich tradition, and most importantly the place for you to be. Roger Bacon High School has been everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. Roger Bacon is more than just a school. It’s a family, an accepting family that I’m proud to be a part of.

Nobbe gave examples of how service could be integrated into the topics taught in a math classroom so that the hearts, as well as the minds of students could be shaped in the image of Christ. e presentation included lessons that Nobbe used to connect geometry to respect for life, exponential equations to serving at a soup kitchen, statistics to stewardship to the earth, and graphing functions to caring for refugees. Nobbe said, “ e lessons engage students on a deeper level than just academics. e lessons are designed to help the students see the connections of the content to real-life and to encourage them to look beyond themselves as they o er service to others.
