The storm a few weeks back pushed water underneath our main gym floor. Working with our insurance company and flooring experts, it became clear the floor has to be replaced. The boards have already started to warp, and leaving it would risk mold. Work begins next week and is expected to take about five weeks.
This will disrupt a number of things, and we are working through each of them. The first one families should know about is weekly Mass, which we hold in the main gym. For the duration of the project we will celebrate two Masses at the same time, one in the Auxiliary Gym and one in the Gilg Performing Arts Center. Ms. French has secured two priests for every Mass date during the project, and students will be told which location to report to. Practice and event schedules are being reworked as well, and coaches will get information out to their families directly.
Nobody wants to replace a gym floor in the middle of Hawktober. We will keep you posted as things develop, and I appreciate your patience while we work through it.

President's Wish List to Support Behavioral Health Program at Skutt Catholic
This year's President's Wish List at Angel Flight directly supports our Behavioral Health Program at Skutt Catholic. This vital initiative provides our students with on-site professional, faith-based mental health care in a familiar, confidential environment. Through our partnership with Catholic Charities, we are able to sustain our full-time therapist and school counseling team, while empowering student leadership through our new Hope Squad. Our goal this year is to raise $150,000 for the President's Wish List at Angel Flight.
