Hello Junior High Families,
It has been another great week in Junior High! We celebrated our Veterans Day Liturgy on Wednesday, and I hope students took some time to stop and look at the memorabilia displayed in our main lobby. It was a wonderful opportunity to recognize and reflect on the service and sacrifices of those who have served our country. A special thank-you to all the members of our Cardinal Ritter community who have served and continue to serve. We are grateful for you!
Students also had the opportunity to hear from guest speaker Jason Evert, who shared an important message about relationships, love, and making choices rooted in faith and respect for ourselves and others. We are grateful for the opportunity to welcome speakers who encourage our students to grow both personally and in their faith.
The Cardinal Ritter fall play is happening tonight and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. on our very own stage at CR! We hope you have an opportunity to come out and support our talented students.
Before we know it, our Thanksgiving Luncheon will be here! We will gather together as a school community to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal before heading into our long weekend. This is one of my favorite traditions, and it is always so much fun! Students sit at tables hosted by teachers, who usually have a fun theme or a special goodie for everyone at their table. It is such a great opportunity to enjoy time together as a school community!
We are also less than a month away from our Junior High Christmas Party! This event will take place in the library and will include Christmas activities, a movie, games, and a gift exchange. Students who would like to participate in the gift exchange should bring a wrapped gift valued at $10 or less. The gift should be something you would be excited to receive! Be sure to check out the flyer at the end of the newsletter for some ideas and inspiration.
Volunteer sign-ups for our Donuts with Santa fundraiser will be sent out in the next newsletter. Remember, all funds raised will go toward our 8th Grade Trip! Please help us spread the word, and let's work together to make this a great event!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Leyba
