Note from The Nurse
Next Year News
Please visit the Nurse page of the school website to access all necessary health forms for the 2017-2018 school year. The first page outlines what will be necessary for students prior to the start of the year; the due date for all health information is August 1, 2017. A health history form is mandatory for all students with each new school year, and an updated physical is only required for students entering 1st, 4th, and 7th grade. A new addition to the health forms packet is the Discretionary Medication Form. Next year the health office will be able to administer over the counter medications if this form is filled out with all necessary signatures (including one from a physician). If you have any questions, please contact school nurse Avery Hines at ahines@lowellcatholic.org or by phone at 978-452-1794 x209.

Athletics
First, I want to congratulate Coach O’Donaghue, Coach Gendron and the 2016 Girls Track and Field team for winning the EAA Championship. This is Lowell Catholic Elementary’s first league championship. If we have high student involvement in our sports programs, I know it will be the first of many.
As we wrap up our school year, I want to thank everyone for their support throughout the school year. It was a great inaugural year with many firsts. As we bring our first year to a close, I have to say that I am very happy with the teams that we were able to field and the number of athletes that were able to take advantage of both our intramurals and competitive team programs. The greatest thing about the end of this year, is the realization that this inaugural year is just a small first step toward reaching our potential. As the school grows, with parental support and student involvement, so too will both our intramural programs and our competitive sports team offerings.
In the fall, depending on registration numbers, we would like to add to our intramural offerings. This school year we offered Cheerleading and Gymnastics to grades 2-6. Next year we hope to offer: Cheerleading grades 2-6, Gymnastics grades 2-6, Golf grades 2-5, Bowling for grades 4-8 and Tennis for grades 4-8.
We belong to the Ecumenical Athletic Association or EAA League. This year we fielded a varsity co-ed volleyball team, a varsity co-ed soccer team and a cross country team. My hope is that we are able to field JV Soccer Team-5th-6th, Varsity Soccer Team 7th-8th, JV Co-Ed Volleyball Team 5th-6th and Varsity Co-Ed Volleyball Team 7th-8th.
Hopefully all eligible students will be able to participate in something, as it has been shown that participating in school sports helps strengthen students’ self-esteem, self-image, self confidence, as well as their strengthening their sense of belonging to their school community. We are continuously working here at Lowell Catholic toward building an even stronger community, so if possible, please if your child is grade eligible for any of our programs offered, consider getting them involved.
There is no cost to parents for any of our competitive sports teams; however, there are fees for our intramural programs. Cost will vary. Fall registration forms and program detail will be up on the website soon, so please check back.
