FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL:
Dear Parents,
I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather that has blessed us during this season of Advent. We are just about two weeks away from Christmas which brings us the joy of spending time with family. I wish everyone happiness during this time of year.
As we approach Christmas vacation, families should be reminded the January exams come very quickly once we return. Students should begin preparing for exams over Christmas break. Please keep an eye on Edline and grades as we approach the end of the semester.
We have received notice from the College Board that our PSAT 8/9 and PSAT scores will not be delivered until mid-late January. Once our staff receives the scores, we will prepare to distribute and explain them. Please note that this will not likely happen until February.
This coming weekend, we have two wonderful Christmas traditions at CCHS: our Magical Morning with Santa and our Christmas Concert. Please check our website for times and more information. We hope to see you there.
Have a wonderful week,
Heather Crisci
Principal

STRATOSPHERE TRAMPOLINE PARK TICKETS!
Looking for something fun to do over the Christmas Break?
Need an idea for a funtastic gift that also helps support Camden Catholic?
CCHS is teaming up with Stratosphere Trampoline Park in Hainesport, NJ!
Jumpers of all ages will have a ball on Stratosphere's grid of trampolines and tumble track; trampoline Dodge Ball takes the classic game to a whole new level; maneuver your way through a laser maze; challenge yourself or a friend on the speed wall; or just free fall into the foam pit. If that's not enough, try the Ninja Obstacle course. Whether you go with a group of friends or with family, there's something for everyone!
Here's how you can support CCHS:
When you purchases your $22 ticket through Camden Catholic, we'll get $11 back. That's it!
Tickets can be used any time - so if you have kids coming home from college, and don't know what their schedule will be, this is a great solution. This is a great gift idea for kids and adults!
Tickets are $22 each and available through Mrs. Merenyi at Camden Catholic:

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
2016-17 FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid applications are due by Jan. 15, 2016. Even if families received financial aid this year, you must re-apply every year. If you do not apply, you lose the opportunity to receive aid that you may have received this year.
If you would like to see if you are eligible for financial aid, please log onto FACTS and follow the instructions. All paperwork requested must be sent into FACTS for the application to be complete.
We try to help as many families as possible with financial aid. The average amount awarded is between $750-$1000. We do understand the sacrifices families make to receive a Camden Catholic education. After four years, you will be so proud of the outcome. Please remember to keep to this deadline.
