Thursday, May 16th
10:45 am - Clap Out
8th grade students will walk throughout the school while the younger students cheer and clap for them! They will begin in their classrooms and make their way to the parish hall for the luncheon. Parents can cheer them on outside or if you want to go inside to watch you absolutely can but I suggest getting there early as you'll have to sign in and receive a badge. If you want to bring noise makers, horns, etc. you can!
11am - Luncheon
Lunch will begin once everyone has walked over from the clap out. Lunch will be served by 7th grade parents and students. Lunch menu consists of Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo with salad, dessert, water and tea. During the luncheon we will watch videos from over the years with a few speakers. The lunch will move quickly as we'll need to be at church before the 1pm ceremony.
1pm - Gift of Light Ceremony
The ceremony will begin at 1pm in the church. All school will be in attendance. It usually lasts about an hour.
If you plan on taking your student home after the ceremony, the 8th grade homeroom teachers will have a sign out sheet so that you do not have to go back to the school office.
Notes:
Students must wear the required uniform with their sweater. Please make sure there are no holes, missing buttons, etc.
