Lisa is right that transition is an important rite of passage, and I find it interesting that schools can do it so differently. With that in mind, what do you like to see on transition day(s)? #inspireminds #learningaswelive

Meet Miss Bailey Wright, 1st CASJ Graduate and Class of 2024! 🎓 Where are you from? Germantown What is your home parish? Holy Family Catholic Church What are your favorite hobbies? watercolor, hiking/running, spending time with family What are your favorite foods? Bacon, dark chocolate, berries, and coffee (if you want to count that as food) What is your favorite book? Story of a Soul by St. Therese of Lisieux Who is your favorite Saint? St. Therese of Lisieux What is your favorite thing about Chesterton and why? Chesterton Academy provides a joyful environment to learn while being focused on the Church. My favorite aspect is definitely witnessing growth in peers as we all help each other grow in holiness. What is your favorite class and why? Philosophy has become my new favorite class this year. It is amazing to be surrounded by peers who are willing to logically discuss and study philosophers to better understand truth. What was your greatest challenge to overcome in adjusting to a new school like Chesterton? Everyone was new and coming from different schools when we started; some homeschool and some private schools. At first it was difficult to adjust to the varying ideas of what the culture of the school should be like, but gradually, by the Grace of God, we were able to build a new culture of students from those various backgrounds. We strive to help each other be true Saints every day. What is your best Chesterton memory? My favorite memory from Chesterton was the 1st Gala in 2023. After that night, we all realized how special and important our mission is. It is truly a blessing getting to help that mission come into affect. How does it feel to be part of CASJ's first EVER graduating class? Honestly, it's really crazy to be graduating from Chesterton as the very first class. I look back and realize how providential my transfer to Chesterton really was. Chesterton has pushed me, in many ways, out of my comfort zone. Surrounded by encouraging teachers and peers, I have truly learned how to be a leader, especially as the lone female senior. These are lessons that will serve me well for years to come. What are your plans next year? I will be attending Hillsdale College with plans to pursue a degree in Biochemistry. #Classof2024 #classicaleducation #Dayton #Catholic #mission

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself and even donate if you feel so moved. https://lnkd.in/e6QUVSMx "Back to school season looks a bit different at Elevation Scholars. The students we serve are preparing for the most important chapter of their lives--the pursuit of the 4-year degree from the nation's top colleges. Studies show that when high-need students earn a degree, their lives and the trajectory of their families are forever transformed for generations. With near perfect GPAs and even more impressive resumes, the students we serve have earned the right to attend the university of their choice. Yet, the unfortunate truth is that thousands of these bright students are at risk of never stepping foot on a college campus. But you can change that!
