Case field hockey will start off a three-home game sporting event at Joseph Case High School on Friday, October 5. Field hockey plays rival Somerset Berkley at 3:30 p.m., on Judge Antone Aguiar Field. The JV match is scheduled to follow the varsity match.
The PINK continues at Cardinal Stadium when Cardinal Football takes on Seekonk at 7 p.m.
Friends of the Cardinals hosts concessions at all three events. New this week at FOTC football concessions are chourico and pepper subs and Asian wings from the Gridiron Club as well as Portuguese soup.
So many terrific venues to be inclusive and supportive of our high school community.
National Principals Month
Both gentlemen remarked on the kind and happy temperment of our students.
Case High is fortunate to have our elected officials bear witness to the awesome experience that students have here daily.

Friends of the Cardinals Scholarship
Case High's Friends of the Cardinals, the high school's athletic booster club, now has its annual scholaship information available in guidance.
In addition to supporting student athletes and athletics teams, the group also offer a one-time $500 scholarship to graduating seniors.
In order to be eligible to receive this Friends of the Cardinals Scholarship, student athletes must apply to become part of the committee, and will be expected to participate in a minimum number of board meetings as well as fundraising events over the course of a two-year term.
Students will apply in their junior year, and sit on the board for both their junior and senior years. Four students from the junior class will be chosen each year. During this time, these student athletes will act as liaisons between the board and athletic teams at Case High School, providing input and ideas from their peers. They will also assist in coordinating volunteers for fundraising events as needed.
Student athletes chosen to be part of The Friends of the Cardinals will be expected to
conduct themselves in accordance with MIAA standards as well as school conduct policies.
Upon graduation, these student athletes will be required to provide the Friends of the Cardinals with a college tuition bill, at which time they will receive their $500 scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded during the class night ceremonies.
Student athletes wishing to be considered for this opportunity must be a Joseph Case
High School junior having earned at least two units of participation in a sport and be in good
academic standing.
The application includes a one-page typed essay letting us know why you would like to be a member of The Friends of the Cardinals, and what would make you a good candidate. In addition, the scholarship now requires two written references, one of which should be from one of your coaches at Joseph Case High School.
All entries should be submitted to the guidance office by Friday, October 12.

Unified Basketball
Unified Basketball is an MIAA-sponsored sporting event. Special Olympics aptly defines Unified Sports on its website:
Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability.
If you want a visual of what JOY looks like, consider supporting a Unified Sporting event.
