The Sisters of Notre Dame were treated to a special day by the third grade students from St. Columban’s School (Loveland, Ohio) on Thursday, May 16, 2013. In the morning the students came to the Heights and played bingo with the Sisters and then later the Sisters and students enjoyed lunch in the large dining room. This is the fifth year the students from St. Columban have paid a visit to the Sisters for some games, conversation, and great fellowship. Throughout the year many of these students write letters to the Sisters and this outing gives the students a chance to interact with their pen pal. This outing was part of the school’s service project. A big thank you goes out to teachers Ms. Mary Ellen Quisno and Lisa Winter, parents, and students for your gift of friendship. It truly is a day that brings such happiness to all.

The Sisters of Notre Dame and the Board of Directors of Julie Learning Center (JLC) announce the appointment of Nanci Eiting as the next Executive Director of Julie Learning Center in Park Hills, KY. The appointment is effective August 1, 2013.

The search for a new Director was necessitated by the retirement of Sister Mary Patrycia Sweeney, SND who has been Director since 2007.

In February 2013, the JLC Board of Directors formed a Search Committee, which resulted in a recommendation that Nanci Eiting be appointed Executive Director. The recommendation was accepted and confirmed by the Sisters of Notre Dame.

Nanci Eiting is currently working at Sonshine School. Prior to this she served as Directress of Trent Montessori. A graduate of Notre Dame Academy, Ms. Eiting has extensive early childhood educational experience as an administrator and teacher.

Nanci Eiting, committed to the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame to proclaim God’s goodness and provide care, will bring her gifts and experience to serve wholeheartedly the community of Julie Learning Center, an educational facility which nurtures children and promotes their learning and development during early childhood. This mission is carried out in conformity with the educational tradition of the Sisters of Notre Dame. The educational principles operative in every educational facility of the Sisters of Notre Dame emphasize the centrality of a good and provident God, the human dignity of each person as an image of God, the educator as a Gospel witness, and an integrated education for transformation.
