UD Center for Catholic Education

We would like to congratulate CCE staff members, Eleonora Nash and Amy Theodor, on their recent accomplishments.

Eleonora graduated from Sinclair Community College with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management - Digital Marketing, along with a certificate in Digital Marketing Technology.

Amy Theodor successfully defended her dissertation proposal and is ready to move forward to the next phase of her doctoral journey.

Congratulations to both Eleonora and Amy on these outstanding achievements.

On May 1, 2026, the Immaculate Conception Peacemakers hosted their 4th
Annual Falcon Funwalk and Carnival, a fundraiser supporting the Cayden
Josephine Turner Memorial Scholarships. These scholarships are awarded
to Immaculate Conception 8th-grade students continuing on to high
school at CJ.

In previous years, the event has raised enough funds to provide
multiple scholarships of $1,000 or more—and this year proved no
exception. Although inclement weather disrupted the original plans,
organizers quickly adapted by moving the carnival indoors. Classroom
teachers were given flexibility in deciding whether to proceed with
the walking portion of the event.

Thanks to the Peacemakers’ efforts, approximately 30 gift baskets were
secured, giving students the opportunity to redeem tickets they had
earned leading up to the event.

Cayden’s mother was also in attendance once again, sharing her
gratitude and appreciation with the students for continuing to honor
and preserve her daughter’s memory.

The Peacemakers at Chaminade Julienne Middle School are spreading kindness for Teacher Appreciation Week!

They are decorating flowers with kind words and surprising teachers with encouraging notes throughout the week. Parents are also joining in by donating treats to help celebrate the amazing CJ Middle School teachers.

We love seeing our Peacemakers lead with gratitude, kindness, and joy!

Today, we would like to thank Eleonora Nash, CCE Administrative Assistant, for all that she does for the Center. We truly appreciate her and all her contributions. She is a blessing to our office!

Today is ONE DAY, ONE DAYTON! 💙
A truly special day to come together and make a difference.
Please consider supporting the Center for Catholic Education, ECHO, Lalanne, or St. Remy with a donation today—every gift counts!
