Concert Choir
 The Concert Choir performed at the Ohio Music Education Association Large Group Contest last Friday at Hilliard Davidson High School, earning a rating of 1 in Class A. It was the first time the BWHS choir has competed in Class A and it is the first 1 rating in at least 15 years. The choir performed three songs for the audience and then proceeded to another room for the sight-reading portion of the competition in which the group had four minutes to look over a new piece of music before performing it for judges. Congratulations to vocal music teacher, Miss Christen Joyce, and our Concert Choir!

Mock Trial Team Qualified for States

This was a great accomplishment for a team that began during the 2014-15 school year! In addition, Mia Simone earned a Best Attorney Award and David Szolosi earned a Best Witness Award. Way to go, legal Eagles and to advisor, Mr. Mike Huff!

French Exchange Trip
Two weeks in France for just $2,000.00
 Bishop Watterson just said good-bye to thirty-four students from our sister school in Le Havre, France. Now, we are planning our return trip. Why not consider the trip for your Watterson student? The price will never be lower and the educational and personal rewards are immeasurable. Since students stay with host families they learn a great deal and grow culturally and personally. The dates are immediately after the end of school in June (exact dates to be determined). The trip is fully chaperoned and the estimated cost is approximately $2,000.00. (Sorry, the trip is open only to students, although adults can join the group for travel to/from Paris.)
Activities in France vary year to year but have included the following in the past: tour of Le Havre, boat tour of Le Havre harbor, day trip to Honfleur and Deauville, day trip to D-day beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery, day trip to Paris, day trip to Fecamp (Benedictine monastery) and Etretat (cliffs of English Channel), day trip to Mont St-Michel, day trip to Rouen (Cathedral, Joan of Arc sites), social activities with the French students, a day in school at our sister school.
Interested? Contact Jim Dury at jdury@cdeducation.org. Hurry though as tickets will be purchased soon.

Calendar Information for 2016-17
 As the Diocese of Columbus Office of Catholic Schools sets the framework for school calendars each year. We wanted to let you know about key dates and a significant change for the 2016-17 school year.
Key Dates First Day: Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Labor Day/No School: September 5, 2016
MLK Day/No School: January 16, 2017
Presidents' Day/No School: February 20, 2017
Memorial Day/No School: May 29, 2017 Last Day: Thursday, June 1, 2017 For the 2016-2017 school year, the customary week off during the spring will NOT coincide with the week following Easter. Instead of having an Easter break, we will now have the following days off:
Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday (April 13-17, 2017)
Spring Break during the week of March 27-31, 2017
By providing this information now, we hope to assist parents to plan vacations accordingly with these dates in mind. Keep in mind that it is more difficult for your children and our staff if you stretch your breaks by taking your children out of school before the break actually begins.
