Make up Day
We have had our share of extreme weather this year with a Hurricane and snow day, and we have been exempted from making up those days from the Office of Catholic Schools. However, on Tuesday January 16th all Catholic schools were not in session due to the high possibility of ice on the roads. We were blessed that this did not occur, however we will have to make up that day before the end of the current year. The choices were either Easter Monday or Memorial Day. We decided that the best choice would be to add Memorial Day as the make up day needed. This day falls during the final exam week and would allow students an extra day to prepare. We wanted to share this with you as soon as possible, so you could make any plans accordingly.
Senior exams will remain the same, Tuesday, May 15th - Friday, May 18th
Exams for all other students below:
Peace,
Students of the week

Alumni Report
Renee Muniz Class of 2016 just launched her own website/blog at https://www.lovesweptlow.com - “Love swept low is a self-published website where the curious, Catholics, and curious-Catholics come together. We are loved so much that Love Himself came to be with us here on Earth to rescue us from our sin. Jesus did not come only for Catholics, only for Christians, but for everyone. While the website is Lovesweptlow.com, the theme (Bible verse) will be changing, so keep a look out for that! It serves for you, the readers, to pause and read truth straight from scripture. On this site you can find devotions (scripture reflections), life-changing stories, inspiring people and useful advice as we continue on this journey towards sainthood together. If you have anything you'd like to share, please feel free to contact me! Blessings! RENEE MUNIZ Creator of the Love Swept Low blog.” Be sure to check it out!Isaac Kimmel Class of 2013 and a current PhD candidate in sociology at Notre Dame University, is participating in the Bengal Bouts, an amateur bowing tournament founded by legendary football coach Knute Rockne.
