Counselor's Corner

***Senior Parents:  Recognition Day is scheduled for April 28th at 9:00 am. All parents and families are invited to join us for this event. At this ceremony, we honor the senior class and other students for their many accomplishments. One of the things we do is recognize seniors for scholarships earned. In order for us to recognize students in this way, we need to be informed of scholarships earned. It is the student's responsibility to bring in scholarship award letters or forward scholarship award emails to the counseling office. The deadline for scholarships to be included in the Recognition Day program is April 8th. Students should notify the counseling office of any and all awarded scholarships regardless of whether or not they are accepting them. Please have students check any and all student portals at the schools they applied to for possible scholarships.

If scholarships are awarded after April 8th, students are encouraged to continue notifying the counseling office because scholarship lists will be updated and included in the graduation program. The deadline for scholarship updates for the graduation program is Wednesday, May 6th. Please contact Julie McNamara or Lisa Kalamaja if you have questions.

Campus Ministry

Heart Ministry & FRESH Floral

Heart Ministry provides food, healthcare, and a way forward to people severely affected by poverty in the Omaha area. This program is near and dear to our hearts. In fact, twice a month throughout the school year, our Seniors serve at the pantry. In addition to the pantry resources, FRESH Floral is a community-minded social enterprise of the Heart Ministry Center. This means that every purchase at Fresh Floral supports the mission of this nonprofit organization in North Omaha, which aims to provide food, healthcare, and a way forward to individuals severely affected by poverty in the Omaha area.

You can assist this important work by purchasing your student's Prom flowers from FRESH Floral.
