Powder Puff Game - Friday, November 6th - 2PM

The annual Powder Puff game will be played this Friday, November 6th at 2PM. The Powder Puff game has the 8th grade girls split into two teams playing each other in flag football, and the 8th grade boys are also split into cheering sections for each team. The game takes approximately one hour to play. A few important notes for this Friday:

Students come to school on Friday in their normal Mass Uniforms.

Students should pack shorts, athletic clothes, and appropriate shoes for both playing in the game and cheering.

The Powder Puff t-shirts for all of the 8th grade students (team members and cheering sections) will be given out on Friday at school to the students prior to the game. The players will also receive their Powder Puff socks & bandanas at the same time they're given their t-shirts.

During the lunch and recess time on Friday, the 8th grade students will eat, and then get changed for the game (both the girls to play, and boys to cheer).

8th Grade parents are allowed and encouraged to attend this game held on the school field. Please keep attendance to 8th grade parents only – no siblings, grandparents, or extended family. Parents who want to watch the game are encouraged to arrive a little before the game begins. Please enter the school field from the field gates – like you entered for Homecoming Mums.

To help maintain safe social distancing, please bring your own camp/folding chairs for seating.

Also, at the end of the game, you will be able to take your 8th grade students home – leaving through the field gate to the parking lot. If you have other students to pick up – please go through carpool as normal to pick them up.

Traditionally we would have most of the students of the school outside watching - however for social distancing purposes - this year we are only planning on having 6th & 7th grade students watching the game. The game will be live streamed into the classrooms for the other students to watch.

Please note: All protocols will be in place - and we ask each parent to self screen before coming to campus as well as we will take temperatures, have hand sanitizing stations available, and masks will need to be worn.

High School Transcript and Teacher Recommendation Forms

A transcript request form will need to be turned in for each high school your student would like to apply to. Those forms need to be acquired from the website of each school your student is applying to and then filled out. Once each transcript request form is complete, it needs to be uploaded and submitted into St. Cecilia Catholic School via this online form.

Each student will also need one Math, and one English recommendation form filled out by our 8th grade teachers.

For the recommendation forms - please download them, fill them out with the information on what schools your student is applying to, and then turn them into the school using this online form by November 20, 2020.

St. Cecilia will then submit the recommendation forms to all the schools your students are applying to in January 2021.

Our mission at St Cecilia Catholic School is the ongoing Catholic formation and education of the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit, in preparation for an adult life of commitment and service.
