What's Happening Now
The first week of May is Catholic Education Week. There are plenty of activities going on during the week. On Wednesday, May 4 we will be having a Community Night/Open House from 5 pm to 7 pm. There will be a Talent Show beginning at 5:30 in the Gym. There will also be an Art Gallery throughout the main floor of student art work. Lastly, a variety of community agencies will be setting up displays to present information about programming and services they offer our community.
Students will continue with the Zumba program every Friday morning at 9:40. We missed one class due to illness and 2 more because of PA days. These classes will be made up at the end.
