To finish up our Healthy Lifestyles Week, we are having a Sports Team Swag dress-up day on Friday, March 24! Students can wear hoodies, jerseys, and shirts that are from a team they participate in OR they can continue to wear Gaglardi Arrows swag. Those not having either of these can wear a top worn to participate in a sports activity or their PE uniform.

All clothing needs to adhere to our Modesty Code: no tight-fitting clothing and midriff and shoulders need to be covered.

PS. A recent handout from PAC mistakenly listed the dismissal time as 11:30 am. Please disregard. 12:00 pm is dismissal and hot dog time on March 24! Woo.

Alpha "is a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question around faith, and the talks are designed to create conversation in small groups afterwards. It's totally free, it's run all over the globe, and everyone's welcome."* (*excerpt from the Alpha website)
