Hello Junior High Families,
Our Junior High students kicked off the week with Work Hard, Play Hard, and our 7th graders wrapped up their week with a fun ice cream sundae celebration! It is hard to believe how quickly the days seem to be flying by. We have lots of exciting things happening around Cardinal Ritter, and the holiday season is right around the corner!
8th Grade Parents, please be sure to read the 8th Grade Parent section below for a couple of important reminders. I am still collecting baby pictures, and all students need to be registered for the 8th Grade Trip on the website as soon as possible. Having an accurate count of who will be attending is important, as I cannot finalize arrangements and plans for the trip until registrations are complete. Thank you for helping us get these details taken care of!
We will be celebrating our veterans during our annual Veterans Day Liturgy on Wednesday. This is a longstanding tradition at Cardinal Ritter, and we are excited to honor all those who have served our country. We will also have a special display in the lobby featuring photos and artifacts from some of our very own faculty and staff members who have served. Families are always welcome to join us for Mass if you are able!
For our Junior High students involved in Basketball Band, Winter Sports Pictures are Wednesday, November 11. Please remember to bring your Pep Band shirt that day. We are hoping to be one of the first groups through pictures, so please come prepared!
Our Theatre Department is also getting ready to take the stage! Their production of The Game's Afoot will be performed Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM on our very own stage in the gymnasium. We would love to see our Junior High families come out and support our talented students!
Friday, November 13, will also be a $1 Jeans Day in support of our National Honor Society program. Students will get to wrap up the school week with a special guest speaker, too!
As we look ahead, we are also beginning to get excited for the holiday season! Our Donuts with Santa fundraiser and Junior High Christmas PJ Party will be here before we know it. I'll be sharing more details about both events, along with volunteer opportunities, in the coming weeks. We have lots of fun things planned, and I am looking forward to celebrating the season with our Junior High students!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Leyba
