March Madness Food Drive

Over the past few weeks, students and staff have brought in food and personal care items to help families in need through Love Inc. as well as win the Key Club’s March Madness contest. The Key Club was impressed by the tremendous involvement by the Catholic Central community. Due to this impressive participation, CC was able to collect and donate over 700 items to the Love Inc. Food Pantry to help local families in need.

Señora Marquez’'s 4th hour class won the March Madness contest with a total of 234 items collected!

Thank you to all those who participated in helping collect food and items for others.

CCHS Boys Basketball Team Heading to the STATE Tournament!

Congratulations to our Boys Basketball Team and Coaches on advancing to the State Basketball Tournament!  We will play in the Division 5 Semi-Final game Friday, March 18th at 9:05 am against Barneveld High School.  The game will be at the Kohl Center on the U.W. - Madison Campus.

With the team advancing to state, we are moving Parent-Teacher Conferences to Wednesday, March 16th from 4:00 – 8:00 pm, instead of on Thursday.  Please plan accordingly.

Thursday will be a Spirit Day/Blue & White Day here at school for students and staff.  There will be a pep rally for the team on Thursday, March 17th.  The pep rally will begin at 12:00 pm and be held in Topper Hall.  We would love for parents and family to join us to send the boys off to Madison!

We will have school on Friday for students that choose not to go to the game.  It is an early release day at 12:30 pm and attendance will be taken.  If students are not taking the fan bus to the game or are not coming to school, I need parents to notify the office, especially if students are driving to the game or riding with their parents.  We need to know where all students will be on Friday.

We have tickets on sale here at the school for Friday’s game.  Cost is $10.00 per ticket.  If we win Friday, tickets for Saturday’s game will be on sale immediately after our game at the Kohl Center.

We will also have fan buses available for students and parents that want to go to the game.  The cost for the fan bus is $15, which includes a ticket to the game.  Busses will depart from Catholic Central High School at 6:45 am Friday.  Please stop by the school and pay for your bus and tickets by Thursday morning if you are planning on going.

In addition to the game, our own Catholic Central High School Dance Team will be performing at halftime of Friday’s game!

This will definitely be a memorable experience for everyone!  Come out and show your Topper Pride this Friday!

If you have any questions pleaes contact the school office at 262-763-1510.

March Madness

Starting today, Key Club is running its annual March Madness Food Drive for Love Inc.! The food drive will start on March 1st and end Friday, March 18th.

The madness will consist of a competition between all fourth hour classrooms. The class that brings in the most nonperishable food items (counted by dividing the amount of goods by the people in the class) will earn a pizza party! Students will find boxes for collection in each classroom starting today so bring in those goods!

In addition to collecting food during the school day, Key Club members will be at the Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, March 17th to collect food. Items donated at that time will also be counted toward students’ classroom total.

The CCHS Key Club and Love Incorporated appreciate your support! Thank you!
