The goal is to collect the most feminine hygiene products by this Thursday, February 28th to support local food banks and shelters. The winning school will receive $500 to donate to the charity of their choice. All donations of feminine hygiene products may be dropped off to Campus Ministry or the Chapel.    

COURSE SELECTION

This is a reminder that course selections for the 2019/2020 school year are due this Friday, March 1st.  All students must complete their course choices online using Career Cruising.  Students who do not complete their course selections on time run the risk of not getting all of their preferred courses next year.  Currently, over half of the student body has not selected courses.  Guidance counsellors will be in the computer lab Tuesday at lunch to work with students requiring assistance.
