The Catholic Citizenship Essay contest wrapped up today. This year’s topic was “What are the 2 most important virtues for an elected leader to possess and why? How can you determine if the leader has these values?” Ms. Dzingle and her 8th grade students did a fantastic job which made for some interesting reading. Thanks to everyone who helped judge them and all those students who participated. Congratulations Miles-1st Place, Kiki- 2nd Place and Theodore- 3rd Place. Prizes will be handed out when classes resume.

Council #12025 was able to deliver 7 boxes of mixed kids coat today to A Note in the Pocket.
