ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2024

IMPORTANT LANYARD INFORMATION - On Friday you will be returning your building access cards to your Coram Deo teacher to be checked in for the summer. If you put your own lanyard on the ID badge, you may take those off, but everything else should be returned (plastic case, access card, ID, school issued lanyard if applicable) to your Coram Deo teacher on Friday. These will be re-issued to you at the beginning of next school year. If you have lost your lanyard, there is a $20 replacement fee that can be paid with cash or check made out to Catholic Central, please bring that to your Coram Deo on Friday.

EXAM INFORMATION To eliminate the increasing number of conflicts in exam times, we will be shifting to testing by carrier. Students absent on an exam day due to an unplanned medical emergency will need to coordinate a time to take the exams with the teacher of those courses. Absences during exam days require medical documentation, and unexcused absences will result in a zero for the exam. There is no “make-up day” and every effort should be made to take an exam during the exam time.

‍BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God bless the one in you who is dissatisfied and longs for something more, the hungry one who yearns for wholeness and meaning. As you stand in the hungry places, may you be in solidarity with all the hungry ones around you. In your fidelity to your longing may God be revealed as the one who fulfills your greatest desire. May this be the God you introduce to each one with whom you stand. May the God of Completion bless you and make you whole. --Maxine Shonk, OP
