•••• Updates for week of 1 October 2012 ••••

Reminder: 2 p.m. dismissal this Friday, 5 October 2012.

Monthly Parent Meeting Monday, 8 October, 6:30 p.m.: We will welcome back TLU’s Tom Oliver, their VP of Enrollment Services. He has a long career in college admissions, from TCU to SMU to TLU (and before that in the Upper Midwest). He is a great resource for underclassmen, and to those upperclassmen now making college visits. Last year, a small group of parents attended his talk, and all felt it was worth the time and effort. He has a lot of experience, and can answer just about any question.

Star Party - Monday, 8 October: Dusk / 7:45 p.m. – Mrs. Tobias will be running a stargazing opportunity here on campus for all interested persons.

End of Quarter One, Tuesday, 16 October: The end of the quarter is two weeks away. Please be checking your student’s planner and helping to keep him/her on top of their assignments and work.

School Photo Re-takes: Photo re-takes will be 16 October in the morning. For all interested in this, please contact Mrs. Sullivan to get on the list.

Catholic Life Raffle: This Thursday, we will be sending home Catholic Life Raffle information and tickets with students.

Then, the Chili Cook-off on Saturday, 3 November, starting late morning. The student dance will be Saturday evening, here on campus.
