Weekly Letter from Principal Joe Hansen
Next Wednesday, a committee of teachers will meet and discuss our current uniform policy. Before we convene, we are seeking the input of parents. We are asking the simple question, “What changes or improvements would you like to see with our school uniform policy?” This question is not intended to spark a pro vs. con debate; rather, we are seeking ideas from our stakeholders.

Weekly Letter from Deacon Rick Wagner
In my letter last week, I shared details of the
QPR
training presented to the Bishop Chatard staff.
QPR (Question…Persuade…Refer)
is suicide prevention training
.
It is not intended to be a form of counseling or treatment, but rather offers hope through positive action. By sharing this information, parents will be better informed and more likely to become part of our “suicide prevention team” as well.

Trojan Treasures Garage Sale
Join us on
April 21 from 7 a.m. - noon
and see what treasures you can find at the Annual Trojan Treasures Garage Sale hosted by the Athletic Booster Club.
Donate to the garage sale
We
are now accepting donations in containers in the parking lot. Charitable tax donation forms will be in the containers
.
Donate to the estate sale
This year, in addition to the traditional garage sale, BCHS will again host a “virtual estate sale"
through EBTH.com.
This will help BCHS generate more profit for valuable items that sometimes sell for much less than their value during a garage sale. Examples of estate items that individuals may donate include jewelry, mid-century modern or antique furniture, fur coats, designer handbags, wool area rugs, fine art, unique or rare pieces, or vintage clothing. Donations will be accepted from now until April 20. Please contact Amy Solomon at 317-750-9652
if you would like to have an estate item picked up.
