From your Alumni Director
The usual end-of-school-year chaos is kicking in, and we are no exception here at BCHS! I can start to feel the change of season as the days grow longer and the weather warms up. April and May tend to be a whirlwind with extra activities and celebrations that make the last two months a very special time!
The BCHS Grandparent Mass and Reception for our senior class is Thursday, April 11. This long-standing tradition is a special day for both our seniors and their grandparents. Following that, our BCHS Walk-A-Thon will take place on Friday, May 3. The kids are already gearing up for this fun day! Baccalaureate and graduation will round out the month of May, and another class of young people will be added to our Bishop Chatard High School Alumni.
I hope that you all have a blessed Holy Week and a joyous Easter celebration with your family and friends!
