			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">After years of looking for new school space in which to run our program, Padre Pio Academy has finally relocated to a new facility! This fall our doors will open at our new location at 12940 Madison Avenue in Lakewood. Our new building might be known to some as St. Gregory Hall, a property owned by the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma. The building, which for years served as a catering hall for St. Gregory the Theologian Byzantine Catholic Church on Quail Avenue, is a great location for PPA. It is almost directly across the street from Madison Park and only a block away from Madison Branch Library. The building features 5 large, bright classrooms as well as hall, stage, multi-purpose room, industrial kitchen and other great features. We&#8217;re very excited to begin the new school year in this wonderful building. Many thanks to all those who prayed we would find a new building!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Applications for the 2011/2012 school year are currently being accepted. For information, please email info@pioacademy.org.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Update</em> &#8212; Gettysburg Field Trip</strong></p>
<p>From Saturday July 2nd through July 4th, Padre Pio Academy&#8217;s 5th-8th grade classes filled the role of giddy amateur historians, and charged the Gettysburg battlefield.  Arriving on Saturday evening, Students pitched the tents &#8211; not quite up to a true bivouac scenario. Sunday is when they truly began to explore the battlefield of momentous and saddening legacy.</p>
<p>They first attended Mass at the Shrine of St. Eizabeth Ann Seton; the 1st American born saint.  Students were able to visit a museum dedicated to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton as well.  Incidentally, the grounds of this shrine were a stopping point for both the Federal and Confederate forces, enroute to Gettysburg, just 10 miles north.</p>
<p>Next was the battlefield.  They began at Little Round Top, site of the Federal flank and witness to Col. Chamberlain&#8217;s brave charge &#8211; where Students first began to see how infinitely valuable high-ground is when at war.  They proceeded to the towering New York monument and then hiked about a mile to &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Den&#8221; &#8211; home to a horde of scattered boulders.  Devil&#8217;s Den was a Student favorite, as they scampered and climbed the rocky crags.</p>
<p>Devil&#8217;s Den was followed by a driving tour and the Battlefield Museum.  The Museum housed an amazing collection of cannon barrels, rifles, bayonets, pistols and sabres from the battle and the Civil War in general.</p>
<p>They returned to a soggy, rainy camp &#8212; many things were hung to dry.  Students&#8217; spirits were far from dampened.  Chaperones huddled under shelter, while Students battled playing capture the flag.</p>
<p>Monday included the graveyard site of Lincoln&#8217;s Gettysburg Address, The Rupp House, The Peace Memorial and the sleepy drive back to Lakewood, Ohio.</p>
<p>The trip was a rousing success and the Chaperones are pleading, even louder than the Students, for the next such trip to soon be planned.</p>
<p>Thanks so much to Mr. Andrews and his planning, the Chaperones who made the trip possible, and the Students for their enthusiasm and good spirits!</p>
<p><strong>Annual School Picnic</strong></p>
<p>Friday, June 8th, Padre Pio Academy will be hosting its annual picnic at Clifton Beach. Grills are set to burn at 11:00 a.m.  Parents and siblings are welcome to meet us at the beach.  This will also be a wonderful opportunity to meet all of our new school families!  Please join us as we close a very joyful and successful year!</p>
<p><strong>May Crowning &#8211; Fatima Play</strong></p>
<p>Grades 1 and 2 are busy writing and producing a short play on the events surrounding Our Lady&#8217;s apparitions at Fatima.  They are learning about these important events and are planning to perform the play for other classes (and for Parents) on May 17th.  Following the play, the Student body, Teachers, Staff and Parents will celebrate May Crowning.  Families will receive written invitations to the performance and Crowning.</p>
<p><strong>Choose Life! Luncheon</strong></p>
<p>On May 4th, 2007, Padre Pio students once again assisted at the Choose Life! Luncheon.  As part of the traditional service component of Padre Pio Academy&#8217;s program, students fulfilled duties to ensure the smooth run and success of the Luncheon.  As true apostles, their decorum, comportment and love for life was visible to all in attendance.  Thank you Padre Pio students for your charitable works! </p>
<p><strong>Open House</strong></p>
<p>Teachers and Staff were on hand to greet many families who attended our Open House on March 24th.  Please feel free to call our office at 216 226-4854 to set up an appointment and tour of the school.  Registration is open for school year 2007/2008!</p>
<p> <strong>Padre Pio Running Club</strong></p>
<p>The Running Club is off to a great start with over a dozen students running last Friday, plus a few mothers (some runnning, some walking) and at least one dog!  It is never too late to join in.  We meet Wednesdays and Fridays at 3:00 p.m. at Memorial Field in the Valley (the first set of baseball diamonds from the Detroit Road entrance).</p>
<p>On hand to advise and encourage will be Dr. Charles Farrell, Mr. George Klier and Mr. Arthur Moore.  Mr. Moore has completed over 552 marathons and ultra marathons.  We hope to see there!</p>
