Jesuit Academy Student Honored at Rotary's Honor Club Program Eighth grade student Da'Vion Grigsby was honored recently at the Rotary Club of Omaha's 85th Annual Luncheon on at Century Link Center Omaha. Since the beginning of the school year, students were observed and rated by their teachers and the principal in the areas of leadership, charac- ter, scholarship and presence. Although all of the young men are wonderful, only one student was chosen from the eighth grade to represent Jesuit Academy at the luncheon. His name will also be placed on a plaque that hangs in the commons area of the school. Da'Vion joined the Jesuit community in the fourth grade and has always been a strong leadership figure at the school. He is a hard working student and often earned Academic and Citizenship honors. Da'Vion actively par- ticipated in basketball since fourth grade and was a member of the CYO Tournament Championship Team this past season. He also participated on the school's soccer and track teams. Da'Vion is the son of Michelle Grigsby and will attend Roncalli Catholic High School in the fall. The school, located at 2311 N. 22nd St. in the old Butler-Gast YMCA building, provides a Christian education for young men in grades four through eight who aspire to build strong character and earn a college degree. Founded in 1996 and sponsored by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), this private, independent Catholic school provides a unique, personal learning environment for young men in our community. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2012-2013 school year! For enrollment information, please contact Mr. Tony Connelly at (402) 346-4464.
