Business Club Toy Drive
This coming Monday, December 14 through Wednesday, December 16, Business Club is collecting new toys to contribute to Nationwide Children's Hospital's Christmas Toy Drive. Toys will be collected outside of Dominican Hall before school and there will also be a drop off box located in the chapel lobby. These toys must be in their original packaging due to COVID-19 guidelines. Students who contribute at least one toy can dress down in casual apparel on Thursday, December 17. So many children who are undergoing medical treatments and procedures during this holiday season would have their spirits lifted by the gift of a new toy! Please consider participating in Business Club's effort to spread a little joy this Christmas. Nationwide Children's Hospital has graciously provided a list of the most desired toys. Here is a link to the list: https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/giving/ways-to-give/wish-list-for-donations.
Thank you for your participation!
Bishop Watterson Business Club would like to wish you a happy and safe holiday!

Winter Weather Closure Notifications
Winter is on the way and so we thought this would be a good time to remind our community what happens if school is cancelled.
Bishop Watterson follows the Diocese of Columbus in determining weather-related closures. The Diocese continues to communicate through local media outlets.
In the event of a closure, we use the School Messenger system (the same system utilized when we had the water main break on November 5) to send a phone message to parent cell phones on file with the school office. We will also get the word out through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
