Stations of the Cross

The Senior Pastoral Team, in conjunction with the Junior Pastoral Team, put on a prayer service for the Stations of the Cross, a Lenten tradition in the Catholic Church involving reflection on Jesus’ path towards death. The service was during activity period last Monday and lasted for about 20 minutes. Seniors John Burke, Rob Garner, and Charlie McGroarty read passages from the gospels about Jesus’ path. Juniors Reed Milnor and Zach Szatkowski walked through the stations for the participants. The service prompted the idea to include the stations of the cross in prayer services that week.

KMOX/ SEMO Award

Junior Liam John was selected as a KMOX/Southeast Missouri State Student of Achievement; he appeared on KMOX radio to discuss it in December.

The award—presented to one junior from each high school that is invited to participate— is sponsored by KMOX and SEMO. It is given to 30 dedicated Juniors who excel not in academic achievement and service to their school and the community.

The award comes with a ceremony on April 20 and a scholarship to SEMO if the recipient chooses to attend.

Liam—a participant in various activities such as Prep News, SLUH Crew, and Racquetball—was nominated by counselor David Mouldon.

Parent-Teacher conferences

Last Tuesday, some parents set up appointments to meet with their son’s teachers. The meetings took place in the Si Commons and Robinson Library. It was an opportunity for the parents to check in to see how their sons have been doing second semester.

Mom Prom

Senior students and their mothers danced the night away on March 27 in the Si Commons. The evening featured dinner, music by Doctor Zhivegas, and re- ally good doughnuts. Plenty of students had fun decking themselves out in glow sticks and other props for pictures. Finally, the evening was highlighted by a surprise flash dance mob by the mothers.

Formal Attire

Yesterday, many students had to come to school wearing formal attire for the day. These students had to do so because of a random full school check on shoes the previous Wednesday. If a student was caught wearing non-dress code shoes, they were doomed to don formal yesterday.
