Facilities Committee Seeks Volunteers for Spring Campus Clean-Up May 18
Do you like to work outside? Do you enjoy working with saws and torches or gardening or painting and pressure washing? Are you interesting in helping Bellarmine by a few hours of volunteer work? Then we have the project for you. Students, parents, faculty/staff and friends are all welcome. The Facilities Committee is hosting a massive campus cleanup day at Bellarmine on Saturday, May 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Please join us.
Senior/Parent Dinner Planned for May 19
Our Senior/Parent Dinner is a fun way to kick off the farewell to senior events. While graduation is a full community event and Baccalaureate Mass a more intimate occasion, this dinner is a casual, relaxed time with just parents and graduates together. Only seniors and their parent(s) or guardian(s) are invited due to limited space. Our hope is that seniors and their parents come and enjoy BBQ; the senior DVD -- a visual capturing the members and spirit of the class of ’13; and a few hours of fun. Find out more here.
Junior Parent Request from Principal Chris Gavin
It has been tradition that junior parents help with some of the festivities for graduation. Principal Chris Gavin needs about 15 people to help with the annual senior/parent dinner to be held on Sunday, May 19. If you are willing to give about 2 -4 hours of your time on May 19, please read more here.
