Student-Teacher/Staff Kickball Game
It was a hard fought game... all the way to the final inning when the score was tied 9-9. But the faculty-staff team prevailed in this annual competition between students and teachers/staff when Mr. O'Keefe scored the winning run with a home run kick!
TUESDAY
NET Retreat
Our seventh and eighth grade students participated in a retreat at St. Gerard Catholic School. Joining other Catholic middle schools from the archdiocese, students had a great time meeting other students as well as deepening their faith. The retreat was led by NET Ministry volunteers. National Evangelization Teams (NET) consists of young adults ages 18-26 who volunteer for a year to travel and direct retreats for young people. NET Ministries challenges young Catholics to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church. Their example and enthusiasm was an inspiring example for our middle school students.
WEDNESDAY

This was a special day for honoring our faculty and staff. At a school assembly, students presented their homemade cards and a WE LOVE OUR TEACHERS cheer.

A special thank you to our students, families and parents' association for their show of gratitude.
