Grades 6-12: Next week is mental health awareness week. Each day will represent a different area of mental health. Each morning, we will learn about that topic in our announcements and there will be a special activity during lunch on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Wear a school appropriate shirt (no tank tops or sweatshirts) with the special color for the day to bring awareness to each mental health issue. Mrs. Garcia will be keeping track of participation and the top three winners will get to pie teachers in the face on Friday! Monday’s topic is depression. Be sure to wear a blue shirt or a shirt with a blue design on it. And remember, uniform is required from the waist down.

Good luck to the JV and varsity girls basketball teams as they host Webberville tonight, to the QuizBowl team as they compete in the league tournament tomorrow, to the 6th grade boys basketball team as they host St. Joseph tomorrow, and to the 5th grade boys basketball team as they host St. Thomas tomorrow.

Save the Date:  The spring Open House at St. Patrick School will be held on Sunday, March 1, following the 11:30 Mass.  Please mark your calendars and plan to attend.  Also spread the word to your neighbors and friends.  This will be an opportunity to tour the school, meet the principals and teachers, talk to current school families, and see for yourself what St. Pat’s has to offer.

The December Athletic Association meeting will be held on Sunday, December 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.  AGENDA 12.8.19
