Virtual Thursday Folder - Feb. 16th

The 4th graders can thank their parents/guardians for completing enrollment for 2023-24! They have won an out of uniform day on Tuesday, February 21st.

68% of students have completed enrollment for next year. Please log into mytads.com if you have not completed enrollment yet. We have waiting lists for a few grades so completing enrollment is very important to guarantee your student's spot.

The Aim Higher Scholarship is a $1,000, student-based scholarship awarded to K-8 students from families with demonstrated financial need. Once a student is awarded the scholarship, they will continue to receive an additional $1,000 scholarship each year up to and through 8th grade as long as the yearly financial aid application continues to show need. The scholarship will also follow the student from year to year if he or she transfers to another Catholic school in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

To apply for this scholarship, please complete the financial aid application at mytads.com.

Important: On the application, you must check the box that you would like to apply for the Aim Higher scholarship.

Donations are being accepted now! We would love your gently used books, games, puzzles, and more. Drop off donations at Hi-C during the week or at Lumen Christi on the weekends.

It is almost time for Highland Catholic School's annual Father Daughter Dance! We have held this hootenanny a few times before, and it is always a boot stompin' good time. Our Hi-C Hoedown will be held on Saturday, February 25th starting at 6:00 PM, in our school cafeteria.

We will have live music by Ledfoot Larry, light refreshments and line dance lessons taught by the Backroad Kickers. Feel free to dress in plaid, denim and cowboy boots but matching your attire to our theme is not required. Mr. Parker (who runs our young rembrandts art classes after school) will be there painting faces, so be sure to bring some cash. There will also be adult beverages for sale from Big Axe Brewery. Huge thanks to Mr. Parker and the French family for helping to make our event even more fun. Our favorite Librarian/Art teacher Mrs. Tures Haider will be there snapping photos of daughters and their dates, so we can email you a keepsake that is sure to make all the graduation boards in a few years.

The link to sign up is below and cost is $12 per person or $35 per family, conveniently billed through TADS. We can't wait to see you there. Yee Haw!

Questions? Feel free to reach out to Beth Vitek at b.vitek@highlandcatholic.org.

The last day to register in advance will be 2/23/23. Tickets at the door will cost a little more, so be sure to sign up in advance!
