Dear BA Families:
Welcome October! We invite all families and alumni to join us at the Homecoming game tonight at Bruce Smith Field. Don't forget to come early, between 5-7 p.m., for a sloppy joe tailgate party hosted by juniors as a Prom fundraiser. Our art scholars are also featured in an exhibit at the Paradise Center for the Arts, with the gallery opening reception this Friday 5-7pm, so stop in there before the game! Congratulations to all of our Homecoming Court: Matthew Croke, Andrew Donahue, Matthew Nelson, Brady Strodtman and Aiden Tobin. What wonderful young men who represented themselves so well during the KDHL interview on Thursday (listen to the show HERE). They continue to be inspirational role models to our student body.

Special thank you to all of our parents who came out for the parent presentation last Wednesday evening, "It's All About the Relationship." Hearing from Joe Roueche and parish and school leaders while supporting one another and our children is key in ensuring that our children become "Saints!"
