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!

Please Read: CCHS Boys Basketball

Topper Family,

I hesitate to start looking too far ahead, but we are faced with a situation that requires us to do just that! Our first two Boys Basketball playoff games will be held at CCHS. If we take care of our business, the Regional Final game will likely be held on the road in Milwaukee (likely at Milwaukee Academy of Science). If MAS and Catholic Central were to meet in the regional final, we would like to try and get this game moved due to the size of their gymnasium and the limited seating capacity they have. Our only potential chance to get this game moved would be to show the WIAA that we have enough advanced ticket sales to verify that a move is necessitated due to the seating capacity restraints at the Milwaukee Academy of Science gymnasium.

In order for the WIAA to consider this change of venue, we are looking to pre-sell 200 tickets. As there is no guarantee this will happen, more would be even better. It would then be very difficult for the current location to be able to accommodate our fan base along with those of Milwaukee Academy of Sciences.

Tickets are $4 per person.

Please send an email to Tom Aldrich @taldrich@cchsnet.org with your first / last name, phone number and how many tickets, you will need before noon on Wednesday, March 2nd. Bring everyone in your family!

Example email: Kyle Scott Family - 8 tickets

Thank you for all that you do for Catholic Central and for the Boys Basketball team.

Go Toppers!

Coach Scott

P.S. As of today, we are about half way to our goal, in order to make this request.

Another Great Outing for the CCHS Fishing Club!

The CCHS Fishing Club had another great time on Eagle Lake this past weekend with William Murray, John Pum and Bailey Bleser participating. The boys did a terrific job of landing six very nice Northern Pike. Below are pictures of the group as well as each with their prize catch.

**The CCHS Fishing Club will be fishing the Burlington Demon Ice Fishing Tournament on Eagle Lake this upcoming weekend and anyone interested in fishing can participate!

Catholic Schools Week Agenda

Next week we will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week! This is a time to acknowledge and praise Catholic schools with Mass and activities at school. This year, the Student Council has come up with a few ideas to promote Catholic education as well as Catholic values.

Here's what's planned for next week:

THEME: HELPING OTHERS

Dress-up Days:

Monday: Star Wars "Spreading The Force"
Tuesday: Superheroes
Wednesday: Mass
Thursday: Topper Pride
Friday: (Mass Day Schedule) Team Peanut Day (with a fundraiser) when students can wear their Team Peanut shirts

7th Hour Trivial Pursuit:

During 7th hour, class will compete in a Trivial Pursuit contest with other classes by answering questions each day to earn pie pieces (no iPads! :)
The winning 7th hour class will get a pizza party

Also, to create an even more caring community at Catholic Central, every day during 7th hour students will write notes of affirmation to other students. Each day students will receive an email directing them where to focus their messages and will write one and deliver it to envelopes posted on lockers.

Look out for posters and listen to announcements for more details. Let's make this a great Catholic Schools Week celebration!

THANK YOU CATHOLIC COMMUNITY FOUNDATION - DONATION

Catholic Central High School's Theology Department recently received an $8,900 grant from the Catholic Community Foundation to purchase new textbooks! The textbooks will be most beneficial to the Theology program by providing consistency in scope and sequence of the Theology curriculum as set forth in the Milwaukee Archdiocesan standards.

Model UN Conference Trip

Over the past weekend, Catholic Central students traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan to participate in the University of Michigan Model UN Conference. Students participated in a United Nations-simulation where they represented Iran and the Czech Republic and other various individuals in different UN committees. Before attending the conference, each student was assigned both a UN committee and a country by Model UN organizers to research and prepare papers on for the simulation. While in Ann Arbor, they participated in authentic UN meetings and discussed given global topics and problems. From there, they joined with other delegates to draft working papers and write resolutions to solved these problems. Some of the topics in committee were more controversial, such as the treatment of the Rohingya, rights of migrant workers, the situation in Yemen, and prevention and prosecution of genocide and crimes against humanity, and led to heated debate among the delegates. Our students each contributed well throughout the four-day conference.

Overall, students had a great time discussing global topics within their committees and sharing research and opinion with other delegates. “It was a lot of fun. We had a great time meeting new people from schools all over the Midwest. Most of the committees were really fun and allowed for an extremely lifelike interpretation of the U.N.. You get to know your fellow Model U.N.ers much better too. Overall it was a great time, and I will definitely do it next year!” said freshman Marcus Robinson.

Next year we hope to include even more CCHS students on the trip! If you are interested in signing up for Model UN next year, stop by and talk to Ms. Dosemagen!
