Save the Date: That 70's Swing!
All are welcome as we look for volunteers for our annual Swing fundraiser!
This year we are taking our awesome community back in time to the era of peace, love and good vibes with That 70s Swing!
Join us on Wednesday, Feb 15, 7:00-8:00pm in the Lumen Christi Community Room to get a sneak peek of plans and learn how you can be a part of the Swing hustle!
No commitment required, this is simply a chance to hear about where we need help, from small on-the-day roles to larger strategic roles where specific skill sets could really add value to the planning process (e.g., donations, finance, decorations, data entry).
Find out more about That 70’s Swing here: https://tinyurl.com/3vak3a3x. We have a full week of impactful community fun planned between May 5-13 that promises to be far out while raising funds for our beloved school. Dig it?
Father Daughter Hoedown - February 25th!
It is almost time for Highland Catholic School's annual Father Daughter Dance! We have held this hootenanny a few times before, and it is always a boot stompin' good time. Our Hi-C Hoedown will be held on Saturday, February 25th starting at 6:00 PM, in our school cafeteria.
We will have live music by Ledfoot Larry, light refreshments and line dance lessons taught by the Backroad Kickers. Feel free to dress in plaid, denim and cowboy boots but matching your attire to our theme is not required. Mr. Parker (who runs our young rembrandts art classes after school) will be there painting faces, so be sure to bring some cash. There will also be adult beverages for sale from Big Axe Brewery. Huge thanks to Mr. Parker and the French family for helping to make our event even more fun. Our favorite Librarian/Art teacher Mrs. Tures Haider will be there snapping photos of daughters and their dates, so we can email you a keepsake that is sure to make all the graduation boards in a few years.
The link to sign up is below and cost is $12 per person or $35 per family, conveniently billed through TADS. We can't wait to see you there. Yee Haw!
Questions? Feel free to reach out to Beth Vitek at b.vitek@highlandcatholic.org.
The last day to register in advance will be 2/23/23. Tickets at the door will cost a little more, so be sure to sign up in advance!
