St. Cecilia Catholic School Insider

Thank you to all who participated in the 11th Annual St. Cecilia Catholic School Dad’s Softball Tournament benefitting the financial aid program at St. Cecilia Catholic School. Thank you to all who registered and played, to all the sponsors, and to the families that helped sponsor the after-party, made additional donations, and bought t-shirts and hats. Thank you to the tournament committee - Jason Koy, Clint Cobb, and Mike Bogue for an outstanding job in making the tournament a success - on a very compressed timeline - to raise the most money we’ve ever in this tournament. Congratulations to: Tournament Champions - Colt .45’s - the 7th (and a few 8th) grade dads, and the Fundraising Champions - Royals - the 3rd grade dads who just beat the Kinder team by $24!

Field Day 2021

We are excited to be able to host Field Day 2021! This year's event will take place over two days - June 2nd and June 3rd.

All students will be able to participate in Field Day - a free lunch (individually boxed) will be brought to all students, and all students will be able to play games, go on inflatables and rides for no cost.

To help offset the cost of Field Day, HSA is asking for parents to contribute a "Flat Fee" per student - though this is not required. Families who contribute by paying the flat fee will receive a Field Day t-shirt for their student(s).

Additionally, also optional, you can purchase tickets for the Prize Room, and T-Shirts will also be for sale for adults. Please note that the deadline for all T-Shirt orders (included in the flat fee) is 10:00AM on Tuesday, May 18th.

Booster Club Athletic Awards 2021 - May 17th & 19th at 6:00PM

The St. Cecilia Catholic School Booster Club is excited to announce that we will be able to hold in-person awards ceremonies for our school sports programs this year. With current COVID protocols in place and still some capacity limits for indoor and outdoor spaces, this will be different than what we’ve done in the past – we won’t be in the Community Center, but outdoors on the school Pavilion in a more relaxed environment.

Monday, May 17th at 6PM: Cheerleading, Football, Baseball, & Softball
Wednesday, May 19th at 6PM: Soccer, Tennis, & Track

Please click here to fill out the online RSVP form to attend either one or both nights for this year's Booster Club Athletic Awards. The deadline to register for this event is today, Friday, May 14th.

Dinner will be provided for all attendees. Please bring your own camp chairs and coolers with drinks. There is no fee to attend for adults or students. While we realize some families will need to attend both nights, this was the best way possible for us to have this event in person to honor the students. The attire for both evenings is casual – and students are encouraged to wear St. Cecilia spirit wear t-shirts.
