Hey Sophomores! The Sophomore Ring Ceremony will be held tomorrow after CERT testing on our Super Day. If you ordered a ring from Herff Jones, they will bring it to school and you will receive it on that day if you have paid in full. If you have not paid in full, then you will not receive your ring until you have done so. If you will be using a ring that was purchased on your own from another company besides Herff Jones or passed down to you from your mother, grandmother, or any other relative, please bring this to the front office with your name on it by lunchtime on Monday, March 11. This is a required class event that is part of the school day on Tuesday. All students are expected to attend. You will be dismissed after the mass and ceremony. If you have any questions, please see Ms. Kroger in room 208

Seniors are reminded that they should be in the Large Meeting Room of the Height’s tomorrow morning by 9:00am.  Seniors should also bring their own lunch and drink with them as they will not have access to the cafeteria for lunch.   Please refer to Mrs. Price’s email from last week for more information about the Mission Retreat and what to bring.
