Advice from Academics

Chapel Art
With the help of Ed and Fred, we have added two beautiful pieces of art to the chapel!  Come pop in when you get the chance. We now have an icon of St. John Paul II and a beautiful image of Our Lady of Guadalupe (just in time for her feast on December 12th!).

Math and Theology Change
I wanted to update everyone on a small shift we are going to make in our office. Dr. Ripley is going to have more responsibilities with our Math and Theology departments. If anyone from those departments have academic questions or concerns, please direct them to her. She will also be visiting the classrooms of those departments and evaluating them moving forward. 

School Rental on 12/16
Crowd Pleasers will be renting out the school to hold a drill team competition, hosted by the Cardinal Belles, next Saturday 12/16. The gyms, dining hall, freshmen classrooms, and a few sophomore classrooms will be used for this event. The Junior and Senior side of the school will be closed off and not used. Bethany Ralston will be sending out emails to the teachers in those areas whose classrooms will be used for the event. The Cardinal Belles will be going around to these classrooms during the day on Friday 12/15 to begin setting things up and communicating with those teachers to ensure their classroom gets set up exactly the way it was after the event is over! The drill teams who registered to compete also had to sign a facility agreement waiver and agree to pay fines for any damage or mess left behind, so we promise to take good care of your rooms!
The new comments from last week are in orange! Please take some time to read the wonderful remarks!
