AGW 3/20
Dear Lancer Families,
As we look ahead, there is just one week to go before our long-awaited Spring Break—a well-deserved time to rest and recharge!
Fish Fry TONIGHT: We also invite you to join us tonight for our final Fish Fry from 5:00–7:00 PM in the Parish Center. We hope to see many of you there as we gather together in fellowship.
Living Stations: As we continue on our Lenten journey, we are especially excited for our 7th graders to present the Living Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, March 25th at 1:00 PM in the Church. All are welcome to join us for this powerful and prayerful live depiction of Jesus’ Passion. It is always a meaningful experience for our students and community during this sacred season.
Science Fair Results: Friday we had nineteen 7th graders compete in the Regional Science Fair competition at the University of St. Francis in both the project and paper sessions. Congratulations to Kate Henkel, Tommy Hilsabeck, Cameron Horejs, Gavin Shannon and Vera Vadakumpadam for all earning Silver awards at the fair. Congratulations to Nate Agema, David Bessert, Connor Cody, Lucia Colucci, Dominic Estkowski, Bea Fabian, Joey Gestaut, Kat Kerger, McKenna King, Emily Krause, Isabel Murray, Jack Predmore, Tyler Stevens and Gianni Trivelli for all earning a Gold award and for moving on to the State Science Fair Competition at Southern University Carbondale at the end of April. Congratulations to all for a job well-done!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our school and parish community.
Make it a GREAT day, Lancers!

Ready, Set, Glow! April 18 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM in Cashin Gym.
Get ready for a night that shines! We are excited to invite our school families to the Mother - Son Glow Party, a fun‑filled evening celebrating our boys and the amazing women who support them.
Sons are invited to attend with their moms or other special women in their lives – grandmas, aunts, or other VIPs - for a high‑energy night of glowing fun.
You can glow your own way! To really light up the night, wear white, neon, or super‑bright colors—they glow the most under the lights and make the dance floor extra fun.
Glow fast! Early registrants (by April 4th) receive an exclusive, personalized glow favor.

School Calendar: The much anticipated 2026–2027 School Calendar is now available for viewing! Please click this LINK to access the full calendar and begin planning for the upcoming school year. As we do each year, we work hard to align our calendar with District 200 whenever possible to help limit the number of “No Bus Days” for our families. We also make every effort to stay in sync with other local Catholic High Schools, recognizing that many families have older children attending those schools. We hope this early release helps your family plan ahead for the year!
💬 Reminder! Order hot lunch! New students will need an ID number to complete the order. For your student’s meal order ID number, log into FACTS and click Resource Documents under School. Scroll down to: My Meal Order 25-26 students.
