Dear Families, Friends, & Benefactors of Our Seton Catholic Schools,

School is off to another flying start. The principals, and members of the schools’ board, assure me this is

going to be a glorious year. We, in the Richmond area are blessed to have an entire school system from

pre-school (the only accredited Pre-School in Wayne County) through high school to serve not only our

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish but also the wider Richmond community. We are all blessed to have

outstanding principals, teachers, support staff, & board members.

Our enrollment has grown over the years and is holding steady which is remarkable as our parish’s, and our community’s,

average age has increased. Our parents want only the best for their children and the education they receive from our Seton

Catholic Schools is just that in our community. The State of Indiana’s voucher system, which allows parents to choose the

educational pathway for their children, has aided our efforts. With the voucher system, the percentage of our non-Catholic

students has grown. This allows more opportunities for us to shine even in the non-Catholic households of the Richmond and

Wayne County area. Little-by-little our schools’ light becomes a bit brighter, perhaps not as bright as our students’ brilliance

but brighter nonetheless.

I offer my heartfelt thanks to all who make our schools possible, especially the now united parish of the Richmond Catholic

Community who subsidize the schools to keep tuition as low as possible. I continue to offer thanks to our many benefactors

who received a Catholic education and want to give back something so that students today may receive the same blessing.

I ask for your prayers for all who work for the schools as they are paid, yes, but far below the rate for what they do.

They work with love in their hearts and treat their jobs as a ministry to their students and our parish community.

May God’s love be abundant in your lives as we are off to that flying start to this school year!

Thoughts, Thanks, & Prayers,

Fr. Kevin

Pastor

Dear Friends of Seton Catholic High School,

On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff I would like to thank you for willingly giving your

time, talent, and financial support to our school. SCHS exists today because you are concerned,

caring, and devoted, and know the importance of carrying on the mission of the Church through

Catholic education.

In this annual report are listed the names of those who donated to the 2015-2016 Annual Fund Drive. I sincerely

thank those donors, without whom our efforts to provide a quality Catholic education would not be possible.

Thanks are also in order for those families of deceased loved ones who have designated SCHS as a memorial

recipient, families who have established scholarships, and of course, those people who have worked tirelessly

“behind the scenes” for the betterment of Seton Catholic High School.

As I reflect on the 2015-2016 school year, I realize what a wonderful story we have to share with the whole

community. The hard work of students and faculty has resulted in successes both in and out of the classroom. The

mission of SCHS is being lived by our students and staff. Please be assured that our students are working hard to

reach their goals and to prepare to become future leaders of their parish and civic communities.

Sincerely,

Rick J. Ruhl

Principal

WORDS FROM OUR SCS’ PRINCIPALS

Dear Seton Elementary Schools Supporters,

I continue to be amazed at the generosity of our families, parishioners, donors to Seton Catholic

Schools! While we try to be great stewards of our budgets, there is often not enough to accomplish

some of the great things that we hope to do. And yet we are often surprised by donations that

appear which enable us to do those very things we thought impossible. We appreciate your faithful-

ness to the mission of our school and the hope that you have in us to do great things for your children, our students!

Thank you for encouraging us! Thank you for giving us possibilities! Our kids will surely benefit for a long, long

time due to your thoughtfulness!

God bless,

Kim T. Becker

Principal

Living A Dream

“What do you want to be when you

grow up?”

Seemingly as old as time, children

are asked “what do you want to be

when you grow up?” Over and

over as they progress from small

child into adolescence. Answers to

the question in preschool often

begin with things like a princess, a

super hero or a dog. As the stu-

dents get older the answers evolve

to things like a teacher, a doctor, a

fireman, a nurse or a baseball play-

er. Once high school begins,

things get more serious and more

specific… you hear things like a

neurologist, physical therapist,

chemical engineer, a high school

English teacher, and sometimes, a

priest. More often than not though,

what you hear at age 5, 10, and 15

are not the same. But to one Seton

Alum, he is living out his child-

hood dream.

A senior majoring in Geology and

Religious Studies at DePauw Uni-

versity, Alex Ruger (’13) says, “I

was the quintessential ‘dinosaur

kid.’ I have always wanted to be a

paleontologist. Dinosaurs have a

way of inspiring fascination and

awe in every child - everyone goes

through a ‘dinosaur phase’ during

the course of their childhood. It is

the lucky few who don't grow out

of it.”

This past summer, Alex was fortu-

nate enough to be an intern for the

Black Hills Institute of Geological

Research (a commercial fossil

hunting and preparation establish-

ment). Black Hills Institute is the

same group that worked on the

famous T. rex Sue*, the specimen

currently on display at the Field

Museum. They are also the same

group that prepared and mounted

almost all the fossils and cast spec-

imens on display at the Children’s

Museum of Indianapolis.

“While there, I learned a huge

amount about the process of dis-

covering, preparing, mounting, and

(Continued on page 7)

OUR MEMORIAL GIFTS

We have been blessed by the generosity of those who have gone before us

and their loved ones. Our heartfelt thanks to all who remembered Seton in

a very special way.

transporting fossils. I worked with

some fossil material that was from

the Late Jurassic Period, approxi-

mately 150 million years ago, but

the main focus of my internship

was the world's number one favor-

ite dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex. I

was given the privilege of working

on the third best specimen in the

world, one which is going to the

Naturalis Biodiversity Center in

Lieden, Netherlands. Its nickname

is Trix (short for Beatrice, the

queen of the Netherlands). It's the

first specimen that will go on per-

manent display outside of North

America, and the first specimen to

have the real head mounted on the

skeleton as opposed to a separate

glass case (that big noggin can

weigh upwards of 400 pounds). I

learned a lot, and I got to meet a lot

of good, earnest, intelligent, and

passionate people. It was, in every

sense of the word, a dream come

true,” shared Ruger.

Alex encourages current students

to do things that they love! “Find a

passion, and pursue it to the abso-

lute best of your ability. But, and

this is a big but, enjoy the people in

your life. Your priority must be to

do right by your friends and your

family. It is a constant struggle, to

exercise mercy and compassion in

your daily life, believe me. Be un-

derstanding, be driven, be friendly,

and be steadfast.”

Grateful for his education at Seton

Catholic, Alex feels that all of his

former teachers are good, dedicated

folks, and he was lucky to have had

their influence growing up. In par-

ticular, he recalls Mr. Reichley.

“Mr. Dan ‘the man with the plan’

Reichley definitely had huge im-

pact on me. He is a true role model

for young Catholics. His humor

and diplomatic manner of speaking

have always stuck with me.”

Slated to graduate in May 2017,

Alex plans to work in paleontolo-

gy, regardless of the location or

institution. “I'd be happy working

in a museum, at a commercial

company, or going to graduate

school. I'm excited to see what is

next around the bend! I've got

something of a pipe dream that

may or may not ever happen, of

getting the Wayne County Museum

and Joseph Moore Museum there

in Richmond under one roof. Hav-

ing a major museum in my

hometown would be something

spectacular, but I am happy simply

doing what I love,” dreams Ruger.

covery of Sue by watching

‘Class’y Gazebo Blessing

If you have been to Holy Family

Church or the Seton Intermediate

building in the past few months,

you may have noticed a new addi-

tion to the grounds. The Seton Ele-

mentary Home & School organiza-

tion recently purchased a custom

built, outdoor classroom gazebo for

the school and it has already been

put to good use. Several classes

were able to utilize it before school

let out in May for class time. The

sixth grade students gathered in the

outdoor classroom to present their

“teach a lesson” projects, while

enjoying a glorious spring day. It

was even used as a beautiful setting

for prom pictures!

The Home & School group sur-

veyed the students and teachers at

the Intermediate Building last year

to find out what improvements or

additions they would like to see at

their campus. While there were

lots of ideas, one stood out from

the rest. The idea for an outdoor

classroom came from then fifth

grade student, Drew VanVleet.

He wrote, “An outdoor classroom

would be awesome. We could use

it for Science, Religion, Reading,

and even Math.” Drew included

some pictures he had found online,

one of which was a gazebo type of

structure. After reviewing all the

suggestions and ideas, the Home

& School board voted to proceed

with the outdoor classroom as an

enhancement project.

The installation of this new class-

room was a team effort! Home &

School board members, Jill

McGinty and Kara Hamilton, met

with Dave Inderstrodt, who took

care of the zoning and permitting

requirements. Rudy Reimsnyder

of the parish maintenance crew re-

moved a tree to make space for the

gazebo, and in exchange Home &

School paid to add a tree or bushes

to another area of the property. A

concrete pad was needed for the

gazebo to sit on. It was poured by

Smarrelli General Contractors.

Many research hours went into the

project as Home & School volun-

teers spent months seeking out low

maintenance gazebos.

Home & School President, Kara

Hamilton said, “We decided the

best option was a 16’x26’ vinyl

gazebo with a double metal roof,

benches all around, and 2 door-

ways. We chose a clay color that

would blend in with the natural

surroundings.”

After receiving several quotes, they

agreed to work with Hillside Gaze-

bos, contracted through Clear

Creek Amish Furniture in Waynes-

ville, Ohio. On May 9th, with stu-

dents and staff gathered around,

Deacon Frank and Deacon Jim

blessed the outdoor classroom. It

is a beautiful structure that will be

used by many for years to come.

Funding for this project came from

donations made by family and

friends of Seton Catholic students

through various fundraisers. The

largest fundraiser for Home &

School is the annual Walk-a-Thon,

which is held each October. Be on

the lookout for letters from stu-

dents with Walk-a-Thon details in

early fall. In recent years, Home

& School’s fundraising money has

been used to purchase playground

equipment at the Primary campus,

cafeteria tables, smart boards for

classrooms, and much more.

All parents with students in

PreSchool to Grade 6 at Seton

Catholic are welcomed and encour-

aged to get involved with Home &

School. Watch for details of their

events and meetings!

Deacons Frank and Jim bless our gazebo.

Intermediate students gather to check out

their new outdoor classroom.

Through our very generous donors, SCRIP proceeds, memorial gifts and subsidies from the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Parish, we are able to fill the gap between tuition and total expenditures. We are very blessed to have committed

families, parishioners and community members who are willing to share their time, talent and treasure with us. As you

look at the bar graphs below, you will see that tuition alone does not cover salary and benefits for our faculty and staff,

let alone all remaining expenses. It takes a village, and without your prayers and financial gifts we would not be able

to carry out the ministry of Seton Catholic Schools. Thank you for your support!
