Parent Volunteer Opportunity
Mothers' Club is looking for volunteers for the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, September 30. A detailed list of duties and times are listed on the Mothers' Club Shutterfly page (Click here then click on Shutterfly). Signups will be on a first-come, first-served basis. All moms and DADS are welcome! Thank you for supporting our Bishop Watterson community.
Dance Reminders
 A reminder to all students planning to attend the Homecoming Dance on September 30.
"As a Catholic school we believe that modesty and appropriateness in dress are important values. This is particularly true in today's culture when popular celebrities do not always serve as good role models in helping adolescents form patterns of behavior and dress."
(Bishop Watterson Student Handbook p. 42)
