YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
A special thank you to the booster club, parents and alumni that helped make Cabin Fever a success this year! I am so impressed with the amount of volunteer hours that went into this important fundraiser. I attended Cabin Fever and it was alot of fun and a fantastic social event.
POSITIVE FAN OF THE WEEK!
Paul Baumann is this weeks positive fan of the week! Paul is constantly encouraging others to give their best in all that they do. He is an outstanding Newman fan and I see him and his wife at all kinds of Newman Catholic events. Paul was the technical supervisor at Cabin Fever. His technical plan and expertise in construction and lighting was critical in making the set design for Cabin Fever. What a fantastic job! Working along side of him was enjoyable and rewarding. He has a way of making others feel special whenever you're around him. What a positive impact that he has on our youth as well as others. Paul, you are the positive fan of the week! |
