Graduation This Sunday at 2:00!

This Sunday at 2:00 PM is the Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2009. Parents and guests will be asked to enter the building through the gym doors on the west side of the building. The floor fills up fast, so be sure to get there early. Senior Honors Night was held at the Elk's Lodge in Dowagiac on Wednesday night and 80 more people than expected attended. As reported by Miss Angus, scholarships received by the seniors at that time totaled $344,800. It was a very nice evening, and it seems the word is getting out that Cassopolis celebrates our own and people want to be a part of it!

We also have field trips to Notre Dame for the 7th and 8th graders, just had a band trip to Chicago to see the Blue-Man Group, a trip for National Honor Society and A/B 10th and 11th grade Honor Roll members to the Chicago Zoo, and a variety of other exciting end-of-year activities and field trips.
