There's a 1st Time for Everything...
Dear Catawba Ridge Families,
Lots of 1st events to celebrate this week:
- 1st Ever Spirit Week - WOW! Every day, our students increased their enthusiasm and showed more spirit for our inCRedible school. I'm pleased to see how they are forming their own traditions and culture.
- 1st Band Grand Champion Win at last week's competition. They swept all categories!
- 1st HoCo Game EVER in The Pit TONIGHT! Come cheer on the Varsity Football Team, Cheer, Dance Team, Band, and NJROTC!
- 1st HoCo Dance at CRHS tomorrow night! Thank you to Athletic Boosters, Parent Ambassadors, Band Boosters and our supercharged CRHS Homecoming, Spirit Week, and Court Advisors Ms. Adams, Ms. Cooper, Ms. Martin, Ms. Kain, and Ms. McKemey for making all the Spirit Week & Homecoming events possible!
- And, our 1st unscheduled day off. While we missed Character Day, Powder Puff & other Spirit Week activities, we hope our students and families had the opportunity to connect.
Character Day & Powder Puff will be rescheduled. We will announce the dates and times soon.
We DO have school on Friday, 10/18. Monday, 10/22 is a Teacher Work Day.
