Convocation
Next Friday's convocation will be to welcome John Guiliano, Director of the Tamarindos in Guajila, El Salvador. The Tamarindos are a youth group formed following the violent civil war in El Salvador from 1980-1992. John, a native New Yorker, saw a need and dove in headfirst. The Tamarindos give young people a chance - something positive to do, education, guidance on making good decisions, and knowledge that someone cares about them. After operating out of a barn and chicken coop for many years, John is trying to get a new youth center built. To raise money, he is riding his bike from Boston to San Francisco. He will be making a stop at Guerin Catholic to address our students on his way.

We will walk you through the application process and offer tips on how you can help and support your children in this important year.

Monday night's presentation will highlight student & parent responsibilities and expectations. We will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. and hope to have you on your way no later than 8:15 p.m.   

  

Back to School Night

Back-to-School Night will be held on August 30, from 6-8 p.m. The evening will include a brief program in the gymnasium, followed by a mini-schedule. The mini-schedule allows the parents to follow their student's schedule, attending five 10-minute classes - going to each of the classrooms, meeting the teacher, getting a copy of the course syllabus, etc. We hope all parents can join us! (Note: program is for the parents - students need not attend).  Reminder--a copy of your students schedule will be mailed early next week, please remember to bring the schedule with you!

  

Colleges that Change Lives 

On Tuesday August 28th at 7:00 p.m., the Colleges That Change Lives Tour (CTCL) will be held at the Sheraton Indianapolis at Keystone Crossing Plaza Ballroom A-E.

The CTCL schools are a group of distinctive colleges and universities - two public and 38 private from 24 states with enrollments ranging from 350 to 4,000. Each of these liberal arts colleges is unique in its own right. They are awesome examples of colleges with characteristics and outcomes that lead to life-changing possibilities for students. We strongly encourage all juniors, seniors and their parents to attend this event to help you get a sense of some of the different colleges and characteristics.
