DP Spirit wear!
Crusader Parents-
DP Spirit Wear season has begun!!! This year, the DP Athletic Association is offering various Spirit Wear items via an on-line ordering platform using credit/debit card only. We cannot offer returns or exchanges. The items all fit similar to years past or even when compared to our standard gym uniform shirts.
There are (2) versions of the "school approved" hoodie that can be worn in school every day. The solid hoodie in blue or grey has both youth and adult sizes, while the blue tie-dye type hoodie only comes in adult sizes.
The spirit wear store will only be open from Wednesday, September 29th, 2021 through Thursday, October 14th, 2021, at which time it will close for the season. Please be sure to get all your items ordered promptly.
COVID has slowed the supply chain significantly so we anticipate orders will arrive direct to the Athletic Association in early November. We tried to choose items/colors that we knew were the most likely to remain available quickly and a delivery method that minimized soaring shipping costs.

SAVE THE PARENTAL NOTICE OF ABORTION LAW!
State lawmakers are meeting on October 19 and they are considering Repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. We must act to prevent this! 72% of all Illinois voters agree that parents
or an adult guardian should be informed if their child is seeking an abortion, yet the Illinois General Assembly continues to threaten the repeal of Illinois' Parental Notice of Abortion law.
Please join us in contacting your state legislators to support our God-given right to support and protect our children. Go to www.ilcatholic.org to read the Illinois bishops letter and to find out how to contact your state legislator to defeat this bill. And, please ask another family member or friend to help join the effort to defeat this bill.
Please follow in our parking lot
It has been brought to our attention that drivers are not following the plan for dropping off and picking up. Please make sure that the person dropping off or picking up your child is aware that they should never be using the same way in as the same way out. All routes are ONE WAY and once you have dropped off or picked up, you must head SOUTH to exit.
We need your help!
You cooperation is very important and appreciated!
