PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION

The Diocese of Covington partnered with the "PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION TODAY" educational series. This is a national coach and parent education program designed specifically to elevate the culture of Catholic school - sponsored sports. The Diocese started this program last year and asked that all 4th grade parents attend a one hour session if your child plays a sport at their school. Since we did not participate last year, both 4th and 5th grade parents need to attend this year. The parent one hour session will be held on September 16th from 7 - 8 PM in Noll Hall. One parent from each 4th and 5th grade sport family needs to attend. We will be taking attendance. You can register by going to  www.virtusonline.org and logging in to your Virtus account. Then click on the live training link on the left. Be sure to find St. Joseph School and register. If you have attended the coaches' training, you do not need to attend the parent session. If you are unable to sign up on Virtus, Ms. Zeck will be at the door that evening to sign each parent in. More information will be coming home with the 4th and 5th grade students later in the Diocesan flyer.
