TONIGHT
Bishop Watterson High School will be hosting a performance of Tetelestai on Wednesday, March 23 at 8:00pm in the North Gym. Greek for "It is finished," one of Christ's last words from the Cross, Tetelestai is a rock musical that vividly depicts Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His trial, execution and His resurrection. In the passion and power of youth, contemporary music, and traditional costumes, this theatrical production reenacts the last week of Christ's life. The cast is primarily made up of high school students from around Columbus. The musical is performed in two acts and admission is free.
The show was written in 1974 by Columbus-native brothers Russ and Joel Nagy. Since then Tetelestai has been performed more than a hundred times around the country by more than 50 casts operating out of two cities. The words and music have made an impact on countless lives. |

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.
