8th Grade GO Project

Students from Resurrection School and some other inner city Catholic Schools will attend this annual tradition put on by the 8th grade students to help those kids celebrate Christmas. There are events taking place on Tuesday, December 12th - the Cookie Baking Day, and on Wednesday, December 13th - the day of the party with the students from the other schools.

• All 8th grade students must bring in a $25 wrapped gift with a tag (To: child’s name/From Santa) – students were given their child’s name and have their party buddy assigned. A few 8th graders are "sharing" a buddy and are aware of this.
• The 8th Graders we given a sheet with their buddy name, the ingredient they need to bring, reminders about the gift and reminder deadline date
• Students need to bring their gifts to school by Monday, December 11th.
• For the cookie baking - the dough making team will make the dough Monday, December 11th directly after school.
• Each 8th grade class will go to the kitchen to bake / frost cookies during their religion class time on Tuesday, December 12.
• For the party on Wednesday, December 13th - students will wear Mass attire (tops and bottoms) to school for Mass, and then they can change into Christmas spirit tops if they choose to do so and wear either uniform bottoms or jeans with their Christmas spirit tops or remain in Mass attire). 
• Students will be divided into groups for various activities for the day.
• Lunch will be provided for the students on this day.

8th Grade vs. Faculty Basketball Game Benefitting Catholic Charities - Thursday, December 14th

The faculty is once again challenging the 8th grade basketball players to a "friendly" basketball game on December 14th at 8:15AM. All 4th through 8th grade students are invited to watch the game. 8th Grade parents are invited to attend and watch the game.

This event is fun to watch and serves as a good cause benefiting Catholic Charities. We are kindly asking each student to bring in a wrapped and labeled gift as entry to the game. The gift should be for a child of the same age and gender as your student. For example, a St. Cecilia 5th grade girl should bring a gift for a 5th grade girl; students should label the gift (i.e. "5th-grade girl"). There will be a collection area in the gym for the wrapped gifts. The gifts will be delivered to Catholic Charities after the game. If you have any questions, contact Coach Kinnick.
