Congratulations to 7th Graders Molly, Madeline, Matteo, and Donovan for winning 2nd Place overall at Catholic Memorial's STEM Challenge on Tuesday!
Eighty-four teams from twenty-three schools participated in the event. These scholars won medals as well as a $500 scholarship to Catholic Memorial. We are so proud of them!

Parking Lot Reminders: Please slow down in our parking lot, especially during pick-up and drop-off times. We have been made aware that there have been several close calls with vehicles driving too fast into the northeast parking lot (off of Circle Drive) as well as around the perimeter of the new church as parents head to the Safe Parking area. Please keep an eye out for pedestrians. We appreciate your help in keeping students, parents, and staff members safe!

Dress up and bid on incredible auction items in support of our parish and school!
