Villa Madonna Academy Announces Grade Level Realignment
VMA is realigning the current grade model to provide students academic and co-curricular opportunities.  Beginning next school year students in the junior high school (grades 7 and 8) will be a part of the high school rather than the elementary school. This realignment will better serve the students by giving them more academic, spiritual and social opportunities. “With the alignment of grades 7 through 12, we will provide junior high students with additional opportunities for involvement and preparation for high school study,” said VMA high school principal, Mrs. Pamela McQueen.

Class of 2013 Senior Retreat
Villa's High School Campus Minister, Mr. Quinton Jefferson, is looking for VMA alumni between the ages of 20-26 to participate in the Class of 2013 Senior Retreat. The retreat will take place September 6-7, 2012 at the Jesuit Spiritual Center in Milford, OH. Villa has collaborated with the Jesuit Spiritual Center to develop a retreat that deepens students' faith and encourages a Christian lifestyle as the students navigate decisions, responsibilities, opportunities and changes that lie ahead. Our Villa Alums are the best people to illuminate and demonstrate these Christian ideals as they live out the Benedictine values they were taught at VMA. We would be honored to have our alumni assist us in passing the torch to the Class of 2013. Some of the activities include participating in icebreakers, team building exercises, assisting with small group activities and possibly giving a talk to the seniors. Alumni will also meet with the Jesuit team during the summer of 2012. If you have any questions or would like to participate, please contact Quinton Jefferson at qjefferson@villamadonna.net.
