National Honor Society vs. National Society for High School Scholars
Some of you may have received a mailing from an organization calling itself the National Society for High School Scholars (NSHSS) and inviting your son/daughter to join for $60.00. Please note that this organization is NOT affiliated with the National Honor Society (NHS) chapter at Bishop Watterson. The Watterson NHS chapter is administered by Watterson, not an outside agency, and there is NO fee to become a member. Junior and senior students who qualify for membership are invited to join after the second semester each year. Check the student handbook or contact jldury@cdeducation.org for more information on our NHS chapter. |

Uniforms - 2013-14
As we finish the 2012-13 school year and turn our attention to 2013-14, I want to let you know about two uniform changes that you will notice at the uniform stores.
Girls
The shield embroidered on the girls jumpers will be the updated BWHS version we have been using for several years on our website and other materials. Our alum, Jason Janoski '82, designed this shield!
Freshmen will be required to have this shield on their jumpers. If you plan to use hand-me-down jumpers, the uniform supply stores will sell patches that can be sewn onto the jumpers.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors are not required to wear jumpers with the new shield, but we encourage you to do so. For those who purchase new jumpers, the new shield will be the only version available. Patches will also be available for those who choose to replace the old shield with the new.
Boys
 The flying eagle used on the boys polo shirts will now be the official BWHS flying eagle. Any new polo shirts purchased will have this new eagle. All freshmen will be required to wear shirts with the new eagle logo, however, next year's sophomores, juniors and seniors are permitted to wear their current shirts.

Scrip Store - We need a volunteer!
 We are looking for an interested person to volunteer to coordinate the Watterson Scrip program for the 2013-2014 school year. This past year we had 25 active families participate and earn $4000 off their tuition and raise $1300 for Watterson' s tuition assitance program. Coordinator activies include: promoting the program in the fall at the Freshman, Sophmore, and Junior parent nights, the Athletic night and the Mother's club social night. The remainder of the year would include closing orders from your home computer twice a month and then sorting cards at the school office twice a month. Please let Janet Jenkins (who can train and assist someone get started) know either through email jenkins.janet08@yahoo.com or cell phone 353-6019 if you are interested.
