Student Life News

Congratulations to the Class of 2012 for bringing in the most money for the 2008-09 Magazine Drive. Chris Micheli’s homeroom came away with a record-setting four Gold Medals: Greatest Sales on Opening Day; Highest Student Participation; Most Orders in Totals, and Top Total Sales. Senior Homeroom 12 C had the best sales for the Upper Division. Top Student Sales was Arianna Borsoni. Diana Campbell and Kathleen Brennan also brought in more than 20 orders. Thanks to everyone for your participation.

The Halloween Dance Party was Spook-tacular. The Parent Association helped produce a fun-filled evening. Special thanks to Danice Rausse, Jerri Rausse, Susan Porter, Cindy Walters, Leslie Gomez and Vanessa Greer for working the dance, snack bar, and decorating Notre Dame Hall.

Proud to Be a Pilot week took place Nov. 17-21. The theme this year was “Be a Responsible Citizen—Go Green.” The sophomores hosted the P2BAP dance. The  Fall and Winter sports teams were recognized and the new cheer squad was introduced during the P2BAP/Sports Rally.

The Junior CLT and Campus Ministry office planned the Thanksgiving liturgy. The juniors will also run the school wide canned food drive this year. Please support the juniors as they step up to lead this important community service project.

Campus ministry is also meeting with Sister Philomena from St. Joseph Elementary to plan a joint celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8. More details will be coming.

All liturgies are Liturgy Dress. This means shirts, ties and dress slacks for gentlemen and dress, skirt or dress slacks for the ladies. Uniform bottoms can be dressed up with the appropriate top. No sandals.
