Hello!
For our 8th through 11th grade students course registration opens up Monday for the 2019-2020 school year. Here is the course catalog to look at over the weekend. Please remember that you must be re-enrolled to register. Please refer to a FACTS-alert or in the newsletter below for the re-enrollment process. A reminder there is a deadline approaching for re-enrollment discounts.
Make sure to sign-up for Loyola summer camps as they'll be starting soon. We'd like to offer these camps for those who have signed up but in some cases we need a few more people to run them. We have already decided not to do the PS Camp due to low sign up. Information can be found below.
Today we hosted a "Step-Up" period for our going-to-be 7th graders and for the going-to- be 9th graders. Each group of students is taking a step-up at Loyola. For the soon-to-be 7th graders they are literally stepping up to the 2nd floor and joining our secondary level of education. For the soon-to-be 9th graders they are preparing for a new level of education.
Lastly, I want to take this time to thank the class of 2019 for their faithful leadership, service, and commitment to excellence. We are going to sorely miss their consistent leadership and fostering a love of Loyola and school spirit. I also want to thank their parents and families for their commitment to Loyola. We all wish you the best as you leave Loyola and begin your post high school experience.
Have a great weekend!

SHOWING APPRECIATION/SAYING GOODBYE
Over the past school year, the senior class befriended Lee, one of the MRCI employees that works in the Loyola cafeteria every day. The senior class wanted to give Lee something to show their appreciation and remember them by, so on Wednesday, on their last day of school, they presented him with a stone star complete with all of their signatures on the back. It made our day to see an impact this made on Lee, and in turn, on our seniors as well.
