LETTER
FROM THE
 PRINCIPAL
|
Good Afternoon,
The Spirit of Carroll was alive and well this past weekend as we celebrated Homecoming! Our students showed tremendous class and school spirit at both the pep rally and Friday's football game, a king and queen were crowned at the dance, the boys cross country team won a GCL Championship, the girls finished second, and Jillian Milano played valiantly at the State Tennis Tournament. The Student Council put on a great Homecoming Dance, and everyone there seemed to have a great time. It was most certainly a great weekend to be a Patriot!
The busy month of October continues this week as we celebrate Unity Day with Mass on Wednesday, have Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, and have no school on Friday. If you haven't done so already, please sign up for conferences online via the Carroll website, or use the link I sent out last week.
Additionally, we are making an effort this week to raise awareness about homelessness in our area. Tonight, thirty students will spend the night at Carroll learning about the many aspects of this important issue and praying for the homeless in our area. They will also spend the night sleeping outside in "Shantytown" and serving breakfast at St Vincent Hotel in the morning. Students will also be in the parking lot tomorrow soliciting donations for St. Vincent de Paul. Please give generously!
Have a great week!
Matt

We invite you to support the Carroll St. Pat's Fest to be held March 11-12, 2016. Friday evening will be the ever-popular Irish Fish Fry (adults only), followed by family fun on Saturday highlighting Irish Dancers, talented bands, delicious food, Celtic games, and more. Our goal is to successfully bring together various groups at Carroll as well as create an entertaining event to the Greater Dayton area, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day!
Sponsored by the Alumni Association, the Patriot Booster Club, and the
Carrolleer Band Association. Money raised will positively impact the entire Carroll community--benefiting academics, the arts, athletics, and alumni.
We need your help! Fill out the volunteer form on Carroll's website or contact Julie Weitz at jweitz@carrollhs.org if you would like to help.
