For most students, the second exam ends at 11 a.m., though Advanced Placement students, instructional support students and those students who have more than one class in the same department may be dismissed later. Please ask your student what time they will be finished testing each day.

From the Spiritual Life Office

Delone Catholic is happy to host a NET (National Evangelization Team) retreat again for the Sophomore retreat. NET retreats are lead by a group of young adults who travel the country to minister to high-school aged youth. Families are needed to host the young men and women as they travel to Hanover when they are here for our Sophomores. In the past, host families have described this opportunity as a tremendous blessing.
The
NET ministers will arrive the evening of Sunday, Feb. 10, have dinner with your family and depart the morning of Monday, Feb. 11 after breakfast for the retreat with the Sophomores. If your family is able and willing to open your home to these
retreat leaders, your generosity would be greatly appreciated! You can also specify if you would prefer to
house only men or only women. Questions or interest can be directly to
Mrs. Phenicie in the Spiritual Life Office.

Happy New Year from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the ReadyPA Team. As we enter January, we would like to stress the importance of safe driving over the winter months. The January 2019 ReadyPA Monthly provides some winter driving tips and safe driving practices to help you navigate Pennsylvania roadways. Did you know that although your pets are covered in fur, many just aren't equipped to be out in frigid temperatures for prolonged periods? This issue of the ReadyPA Monthly provides suggestions to help your animals stay healthy throughout the winter. Finally, the State Meteorologist has provided information on the "chilling dangers of cold weather."
The January Action Sheet contains information provided by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. Be sure to practice these "10 musts for winter driving." To read the January newsletter, click here.
