These exciting experiences are currently under development for the hopeful promotion of community building, school spirit, relational fun, and the particular celebration of our esteemed seniors.
School Ring Meeting for the Class of 2022
Juniors and their parents are reminded that there is a special class Zoom scheduled for Monday, January 18 at 6:30 p.m. with our school's sales reps from Jostens. During that meeting, they will go over in detail the process for ordering an MMA school ring in anticipation of the annual Ring Mass and Ceremony, which will take place later this spring. Jostens mailed home to the juniors' families a set of papers and forms that are required for electing one's preference for size, style, engraving, and other options. In case those materials got lost in the post, Dr. Pidot emailed the juniors digital copies. In that same email was the Zoom invitation. Click here for the link. Please attend tomorrow night and bring any questions with you for the sales team.
Prep Bus Update
Dr. Pidot is emailing this weekend the riders of the Prep Bus system and their parents regarding more specifics about transportation and operations in line with our five-day in-person schedule.
