The Mother/Son Event will be coming up in no time!


The Mother/Son Event will be held Sunday, April 21st from 2-4 in the Ryan Center! 

 

The boys and moms will be WOWED and PUMPED by fun activities for everyone via Coach Dave Gray at the school, and we want to nourish that needed energy! 

 

And the committee wants to feed everyone well!

We’re asking those in the community who own a business that provides yummy things if you’d like to provide your awesomeness to this event for about 50-80 people (About half kids and half adults). 

 

We do have a small budget to work with and with it hope to provide a main item, a side(snack), drinks and a dessert item to excite all grades!

 

You could absolutely include promo for your business by providing this as a donation or at cost if budget permits, and we’d be happy to list you as a sponsor in event promo materials. Please feel free to e-mail Co-chair Marta Greca at marta@mediacreativeagency.com to contribute! 

Trophies anyone?!?

Our sports teams are AMAZING! Basketball, Cross Country, Soccer, Track & Field, and Volleyball have all been so successful over the years - so much that our massive trophy case was bursting at the seams (even after cleaning it out 5 years ago). That said, it was necessary to clean and organize it again. While we are very proud of all of the accomplishments of our teams over the years, at this time, we will only be keeping trophies from 2017-2024. All trophies and plaques dated prior to that have been placed in front of the concession stand and will be available for at least one week. If you, or anyone you know, were on one of the trophy winning teams, please feel free to stop by the school to see if there is a trophy you'd like to take home with you. Simply report to the school office and someone will escort you to the Ryan Center lobby. Go Saints!

Yearbook Orders

It is time to order your 2023/2024 yearbook! The yearbook club has been hard at work to create an amazing yearbook so you don't want to miss out!


The deadline to order yearbooks is Friday, April 12th. We do not order extra copies so you must order a yearbook if you want one. Please use the order form at this Link.
