Auction Fund-a-Need

As announced last week, the Fund-a-Need at this year's auction will be improvements to and refurbishment of the gym. This Fund-a-Need project is actually a collection of several smaller projects which will be broken down into three funding levels. The more money we raise through donations and matches, the more projects we can complete this summer.

Level 1

• A new sign and banner hanging system to recognize our school's athletic achievements
• Replacing the blue wall pads around the perimeter of the gym
• Patching and painting the walls of the gym
• Painting the CYO and school logos on the back wall of the gym
• Removing the existing ceiling tiles (before they fall down)
• Adjusting the height of the main basketball hoops to regulation heights

Level 2

• Patching and painting the ceiling black
• Adding acoustic wall panels to improve the sound in the gym
• Installing walls with doors in the stage wings to improve safety and privacy for middle school students while they are changing for p.e.

Level 3

• Installing new window coverings to improve the lighting in the gym
• Installing folding bleachers in the gym to seat approximately 100 people

In addition, the parish is going to be replacing the current lighting in the gym with new LED lights to improve the lighting and reduce electricity usage.

Lost and Found

Our lost and found is over flowing!  There are several winter coats and very nice clothing items (North Face, Under Armor, Seahawks gear) that need to find their homes.  All items are currently organized and displayed in the foyer outside the gym.  Please take the time to come check this area for items that belong to your child.

All unclaimed items will be donated to Care tomorrow.
