We will be taking an all-school picture on Wednesday, May 3. We are asking all students to wear their 2022-2023 school theme shirt (Rooted in Christ) with their uniform bottoms on this day. If your child started later in the school year and you did not receive one, please have them check in with the office. We do have a few extras. Thank you!

Please take a moment to participate in our planning study via an online survey. If you received a survey in the mail, you can complete that and turn it into the office, or go online. Your input and participation will help us make wise decisions about the projects and a potential campaign. https://www.steiergroup.com/survey/

The school is scheduled to host Holy Donuts during the month of April (with the exception of Easter Sunday). This would entail arriving prior to the 10:30 to begin preparing the coffee and other items, serving donuts and coffee/juice after Mass, and clean-up.

This is at least a two person job, so we would only need 1-2 families for each week. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign-up below. Once you sign-up, the school office will send you more specific instructions for the day.

Thank you for considering!

The gift purchased is from all the students although families may choose to buy their own if they want. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to email HNGiantsPTO@gmail.com.

Two Roncalli Exchange Students Seeking Host Families for 23-24 School Year

CIEE, the world leader in international exchange, is looking for families to host two students for the 2023-2024 school year.

Wu Yue (Mark) from China is looking forward to experiencing a new life in America with his host family and sharing his Chinese culture.

Kim is from Germany, plays piano and guitar, enjoys cooking/trying new recipes from other countries and drawing. She loves animals...especially cats, and her favorite classes are math, biology and art.

Students pay their own tuition, insurance and have money to pay for expenses. Host families come in all shapes and sizes – kids, no kids, empty nesters, single parents, etc. Some benefits of hosting include learning about a different culture, enjoying lifelong friendships with students, fulfilling a young person's dream and becoming a global ambassador in your community! Please call Janet at (317) 372-8971 for information on hosting.
