Thanks to Meghan Johnson (our trainer extraordinaire), there will be concussion baseline training in the library

from 3:45-4:45. It should take less than 40 mins. We will have the computer cart there for the Middle school and 9th grade players. All other players should bring their own laptops.
Every player who
has not
had concussion baseline training in the past two years
must
attend either the Wednesday or Thursday session. You CANNOT play in a game without it.
Thanks - see you at training!

Middle School Volunteer Opportunities
|
|
As part of our mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, we believe all students are called to be good stewards of their own time, talent, and treasure engaging in service as part of their educational growth. The Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School service hour requirement is intended for students to go beyond their current school and/or church obligations.
At our Middle School, students in seventh and eighth grades are required to attend one (1) service day organized by the school and made available for all middle school students. Of course, parents are always welcome! Each student is required to attend at least one of these service opportunities over the course of the school year. See page 43 in the Student Handbook.
Middle School Service Opportunities for 2019-2020:
Saturday, December 14, 2019 8:30 am-2:00 pm:
We will participate in the
National Wreaths Across America Ceremony at the Alabama National Cemetery located in Montevallo, AL. There is a beautiful patriotic ceremony following by attendees placing evergreen wreaths on veterans' graves. We will stop to eat lunch before returning to campus.
Saturday, January 11, 2020 8:30-11:00 am:
We will help to remove the evergreen wreaths from veterans' graves from Wreaths Across America at the Brookside Memorial Gardens in Millbrook, AL.
Saturday, May 16, 2020 8:30-11:00 am:
We will help beautify our campus and set up for the graduation events scheduled for the following week.
I have created a "Sign Up Genius" to make signing up easy; just click on this link to
SIGN UP HERE! An email reminder will be sent two days before your desired event.
As other opportunities arise, I will add them to the website and send an email with the details.
Remember, students are only required to attend one (1) of these events. Of course, they are welcome to participate in more than one!
