Principal’s Corner
Dear Parents/Guardians:
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
With everything happening in the world today, it is so important for us as a school and parish community
to foster and encourage respect, inclusion and acceptance into our everyday lives. It is our duty as Catholics and disciples of Christ to model for our children how we want the world’s people to treat one another. In support of these ideals, I would like to invite you all to “You are my Neighbor,” an interfaith event
welcoming our Muslim, refugee and immigrant neighbors on Thursday, March 2 from 6:30-8:30 pm in St.
Barnabas Church. For more details on the event, please see the flyer in this newsletter.
I also wanted to invite you to our family mass this Sunday at 10:00 am. At St. Barnabas, we are so fortunate to have an inclusive and involved community where our children can grow up knowing they have a
network of supportive people surrounding them. Mass, and in particular, family mass, is a great opportunity to share in our community with your children, to worship, and to celebrate and be thankful for all the
good in our lives.
Have a great weekend, we hope to see you on
Sunday!
Mrs. Elaine Gaffney
The leadership
and volunteer
team for our
Imagine.
Innovate. Inspire.
campaign is
delighted to
share some exciting news this weekend at
each of our masses. As we prepare to
resume activity on behalf of this very
special effort, we invite the entire family
of St. Barnabas to give thanks for blessings
received. We also ask for daily prayers that
this next phase of our campaign will be
met with open hearts, generous spirits and
the understanding that, working together
with God as our guide, we can accomplish
great things!
“I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13

Faculty Profile
By now, most of you probably know Mrs. Beverly
Reynders, who currently teaches kindergarten and
has been teaching at St. Barnabas for 16 years.
What you might not know, though, is that teaching
is actually her second career!
be able to put the
crown on Mary, and
she also got to have
a court made up of
some of her friends.
Although she wanted to be a teacher since she
was a little girl playing school with her friends, Mrs.
Reynders was steered away from the profession
during college, as she was told the teaching field
was flooded. Instead, she earned a Business degree from Governor’s State University and worked
for a law firm and then in Human Resources and
Benefits for an apparel company for many years.
She never forgot her passion for teaching though,
and eventually went back to school and obtained
her Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education
from St. Xavier University. Since that time, she has
also been a member of Kappa Delta Pi, an International Honor Society in Education.
She loves working at
St. Barnabas because of the wonderful teachers and
administration, the
great students and
the supportive parents. She particularly
enjoys working with
Mrs. Gail Butcher,
who has been her
Mrs. Beverly Reynders
teacher aide for
several years. One annual activity she always looks
forward to is raising butterflies every spring with her
kindergarteners.
When she began her teaching career at St. Barnabas 16 years ago, she taught 2nd grade and loved
it. She especially enjoyed helping the children prepare for the Sacraments. After five years, St. Barnabas was in need of a kindergarten teacher, and
Mrs. Reynders was excited to try a new challenge,
especially because she was always fascinated to
see how children learned to read, and to be part
of helping them with that life-transforming milestone. She says she was amazed during her first year
teaching kindergarten that most children learn to
read during that year, which is still a very rewarding
part of her job.
When she’s not at school, Mrs. Reynders enjoys gardening, going to the theater, watching any musical
movie, taking day and weekend trips, and spending time with her wonderful husband and family.
When she first started at St. Barnabas, she and her
husband lived in West Beverly, but for the past 10
years, they have lived in Manhattan, and they love
it there.
Thank you for all you do for St. Barnabas, Mrs. Reynders, our kindergarteners are lucky to have you!
Now that she’s teaching kindergarten, Mrs. Reynders says it’s her favorite age to teach, and she’s so
glad she made the switch 11 years ago!
Mrs. Reynders is originally from the South suburbs,
and attended a Catholic grammar school. She still
vividly remembers her own kindergarten teacher,
and how magical and fun she made the kindergarten experience for her! Reading was always her
favorite subject, and one of her all-time favorite
books is The Giving Tree. One of her other favorite
memories from grammar school was in 8th grade
when she was selected to be the May Queen
during May Crowning. She was very honored to
Grant Aid Applications Due 4/30!
Grant in Aid applications for the 2017-2018
school year are now available on the
school website and parish website.
Completed forms and required documents
must be submitted to the school office by
April 30, 2017.
Family Profiles
John and Mariellyn (Mel) LaGiglia
have lived in St.
Barnabas Parish for four years
with their children
Grace (6th grade),
Mick (3rd), Brooke
(1st), Danny (Bitty
Buckeye), 2 and
Brody (future Buckeye), 7 mos.
This is the children’s second year attending St. Barnabas School.
The LaGiglias chose St. Barnabas School because they
were impressed by the curriculum and knew their children would be challenged to their full potential. They
love the sense of community at St. Barnabas, and their
kids like the friendships they have made here.
Already, the LaGiglias have gotten involved with several school activities. Mel has volunteered to decorate
for school dances, communion banners and birthday
activities. John has attended Men’s Club events and
birthday activities, and they both have enjoyed Bottles,
Bites & Brews, Comedy Night and Trivia Night. Grace
played basketball last year and Brooke played spring
soccer.
Outside of St. Barnabas, Grace is a champion-level
Irish Dancer at Tooromeen School of Irish Dance, and
Brooke hopes to one day join her ranks. The girls and
their brother, Mick, also love softball/baseball and play
for Ridge Beverly. Mick also wrestles with Marist Wrestling Club.
In their free time as a family, they enjoy cheering each
other on at sporting events and dance competitions.
They also love going to their family cottage in Michigan
where there is always something fun to do, like water
skiing, swimming or hiking in the woods. The family’s favorite local restaurant is Horse Thief Hollow, and they’re
a house divided when it comes to Chicago baseball!
Over Christmas break, they went to Winter Wonder Fest
at Navy Pier and spent time in Michigan.
Joe and Kerry Esselman and their children Jack (7th
grade), Patrick (5th), Kelley (3rd) and Megan (PreSchool), have been part of St. Barnabas Parish since
they were first married 17 years ago, and St. Barnabas
School since Jack started kindergarten in 2009.
They chose St.
Barnabas because
they wanted to
stay in their home
parish for school,
and because
they liked Project Match. They
knew their kids all
learned differently
and liked the idea
that this program
allowed them to
be met where they
were. They also like the school’s focus on ICEPs, which
makes a big difference in how well their children can
learn. They have since moved three times but have
always stayed in St. Barnabas Parish.
Kerry and Joe like the sense of community they feel at
St. Barnabas, and that there is always something to get
involved in and a way to get to know other families in
and out of the classrooms. The Esselman kids like the
people they have met. Their friends, teachers and other families have all been kind and supportive. They also
love all the activities St. Barnabas offers.
Kerry and Joe have been involved with many aspects
of St. Barnabas. Joe is one of the Men’s Club presidents. He helps with the Progressive Dinner, the Golf
outing, and other events. He has coached soccer,
basketball and football. Kerry has been FSA secretary
for the past two years, and has run our wonderful After
School Enrichment (ASE) Program for the past six years.
She is a member of the Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP)
team, and has worked as a substitute teacher and currently as a 1st-grade classroom aide.
At school, Jack and Patrick play football, basketball
and volleyball, and Patrick is also on crew for the play.
Kelley plays Jr. Basketball and has taken many Art ASE
classes. Megan is in ASE Circus Math, which the older
three kids help run.
Every week, the family has Sunday dinner with Kerry’s
parents, which is a favorite family tradition. They also go
to Indianapolis whenever they can to spend time with
Joe’s side of the family.
Their one phrase to describe St. Barnabas? “People
who care.” Thank you to both families for your participation in our Family Profiles!
Retreats for 6th, 7th & 8th-Graders
BACKGROUND ON OUR JR HIGH RETREAT PROGRAM:
Three years ago, St. Barnabas School offered the 8th-graders a closing retreat; a time meant to reflect
on their time at St. Barnabas. As the 8th-graders prepared for graduation, they were overwhelmed by the
tasks and feelings associated with leaving behind the familiar for
the unknown. The retreat was facilitated by our parish High School
Youth Ministry. High school students active in our parish offered both
relatable experiences and perspectives. The experience invited
our 8th-graders to take all they have come to know about themselves and their faith and bring this into the future that awaits them.
Our students were so impacted that many not only returned to
lead the retreat for the next St. Barnabas 8th grade class, but they
remained more active in the life of our parish beyond our school
based on this experience. From this success we saw an opportunity
to serve our students.
Retreat experiences are an important part of faith development and an excellent tool for team-building
among classmates and their teachers. Maryellen Harrington, who has served St. Barnabas Parish for the
past eight years in Youth Ministry and Adult Formation, began serving St. Barnabas School as Director of
Service Learning and Retreats in the 2016-2017 school year. This spring, we are excited to be able to expand our retreat offerings to include our 6th and 7th grades.
PARENTS: WE NEED YOUR HELP!
On Monday, March 6th, St. Barnabas School will be providing an opportunity for our 7th-graders to spend
a day getting to know themselves and their peers better. This day-long retreat will invite the students to
visit and share about themselves, and grow in relationship with one another as the class of 2018.
To provide this experience, we need 10 adults willing to join us. We want to invite adults of the parish and
parents of our school students to help facilitate this experience for our students. It can't happen without
you! Please consider being a part of the adult team that will help bring this enlightening experience to our
students.
Your main role will be to serve as a Christian mentor for the day. As a mentor, you will help facilitate
conversation and complete small tasks within a small
group of students. For example, a small task might be
to complete a small group team poster. As a Christian mentor you would help the students to converse
with one another, examine what they believe and
how they feel about the world around them, and
share about their own interests, skills, and talents.
Are you willing to join the St. Barnabas Class of 2018,
the current 7th graders, for their first annual class
retreat on Monday, March 6th from 8 am-3 pm?
If so, please click here.
Newsletter Submission Deadline:
Please have your final newsletter submissions
to Mrs. Sebby at ksebby@stbarnabasparish.
org by Wednesday morning at 9 am for that
Thursday’s newsletter. We cannot guarantee
that submissions received after that time will
make it into the newsletter that week.
This deadline allows us time to send our
school families a newsletter that is as accurate as possible by Thursday afternoon. Thank
you for your cooperation!
7th Grade Spotlight
In 7th grade science (below right), students explained how cancer relates to mutations and the cell
cycle. They learned what cancer is, how it metastasizes, and several treatments for cancer. To reinforce
what they learned, the students modeled a cell and showed how cells divide uncontrollably. They then
made predictions about what type of cancers are more dangerous.
As part of our One Book, One School unit on Fish in a Tree, our sixth and seventh grade ELA students studied the science behind having a growth mindset (below left). Students created journal entries, brought in
items to represent a “fixed mindset” and a “growth mindset,” and created growth mindset posters.

Solo Band Adjudication
Recently, our senior band members were given a solo piece of music by Mr. Ken Stiak, St. Barnabas’s
band director, to be performed in front of a single adjudicator. This solo performance competition is very
challenging, and the ratings are determined by five fundamentals of playing an instrument: note accuracy, tone quality, intonation, rhythm and interpretation along with stage presence.
Congratulations to all of our participants! The following
students received I/Gold/Superior ratings for their solo
performances:
Frankie Bilecki
Elliot Long
Lillie Borzenski

Black History Month Facts
These facts are brought to you by the St. Barnabas Climate and Culture Committee.
Daniel Hale Williams (January 18, 1856 – August 4, 1931) was an African-American general surgeon, who in 1893 performed the second documented successful pericardium surgery to repair a wound. He also founded
Provident Hospital--the first non-segregated hospital in the United States--in
Chicago.
In 1880, he entered Chicago Medical College, now known as Northwestern
University Medical School. After graduation from Northwestern, Dr. Williams
opened his own medical office in Chicago.
When Dr. Williams graduated from medical school, black doctors were not
allowed to work in Chicago hospitals. As a result, Dr. Williams opened Provident Hospital and training school for nurses in Chicago.
In 1895, Dr. Williams was the co-founder of the National Medical Association
for African American doctors. By 1913, he was the only African American
doctor in the American College of Surgeons.
Kindergarten Black History Project
The kinderstars really embraced this project for Black HIstory Month! Here are a few of the pictures that
they shared when they explained who their person was and told their classmates about why they were
famous and other interesting facts about their lives.

Helping Young People has Never Been So Fun and Rewarding
St. Barnabas Annual Fundraiser helps our parish send teens to represent
our parish at the National Catholic Youth Conference. This is a gathering of 25 thousand teens from across the country where the youth grow
in relationship with God, with one another and bring back great ideas
that makes St. Barnabas a great parish. To learn more about NCYC
check out the 1 minute video here.
Help Our Teens Make the Journey to NCYC 2017
Below is the name of parish teens attending. We ask three things of our wider parish, friends, and family.
1.
2.
3.
First, pray for the youth who will make the pilgrimage.
Secondly, support the youth ministry fundraising efforts so that no teen who is preparing to attend is
left behind. The youth are selling Hoops Mania Tickets based on March Madness at $20.00 per ticket. You can purchase from one of the sellers below, or online at:
https://www.charitymania.com/give/y702a Please purchase no later than March 1st.
Consider sponsoring a young person who can't attend for financial reasons. We have several youth who have not yet registered who are in need of sponsorship or they will not be able to attend. Click here to sponsor a teen.
Supporting Youth Fundraisers Builds Our Whole Parish:

But my teen is not attending, why should I help? What the youth bring back from this experience helps all of our parish, youth and adult alike.
Fundraising helps teens and adults alike to practice their faith. It is everyone's responsibility to support others in their efforts, to learn about Jesus and to build the kingdom of God.
Supporting a teen affords adults of our parish the opportunity to pass on the faith to young disciples and contribute to building the kingdom of God and a vibrant St. Barnabas today and tomorrow.
When a whole faith community supports the youth, they are evangelizing and fulfilling their baptismal promise to help others to know Christ.
Fundraising allows ALL young people to participate in special faith formation opportunities.
