This is a reminder that Financial Assistance forms are due to the Diocese by March 31, 2012. On the OLP calendar it indicates March 15, 2012, so hopefully you have a good start on it already. If you misplaced the application, you can pick one up in the school office or print one by clicking on this link to the Diocesan website http://www.eriercd.org/schools3.asp. The form is on the right side of the webpage. If you also have a child in a Catholic High School in Erie, you should have already submitted this form.

Attention 8th Graders & Parents
 

Superstar is April 4, 2011.  Start looking for roomy black turtlenecks and black pants now.  We suggest you try to borrow them if you can, otherwise it's easier to purchase them (maybe even on clearance) now than in April.
