STUDENT ID CARDS - if you had a picture retake taken, new student IDs have arrived and are available in the main office. Please stop by and see Mrs. Quint or Mrs. Hipp to pick up your ID.

WINTERGUARD -  Winterguard is an indoor fall and winter sport that combines dance and colorguard techniques. This year there will be two open spin dates and two tryouts/audition dates. Any 7th through 12th grader at any school in the diocese is welcome to attend any of these dates to just come and try out color guard and see what it’s all about! Anyone wanting to audition for the competitive winter guard team must attend at least one of the two dates each week. The remaining dates are: November 11th and 12th all from 6 to 8 PM. The first practice will be Monday, November 18th from 6 to 9 PM, and usually every Monday after that through March! Tryouts will meet in the Catholic Central Band Room downtown.
