Volunteer Opportunities We are in great need of high school and college aged students to work the St. James/Seton School SOAR Development Dinner on November 20th at Creighton Prep High School.

Volunteer needs include: wait staff, check-in/registration/check-out volunteers, raffle ticket sales people. It would be nice to have SJS alumni, but we are grateful for any student that wants to be involved.

Parent Presentation: Helping Your Child Navigate Digital Dilemmas and Manage their Digital Footprint

Tuesday, November 2, 7:00-8:30 PM, Location: Gross Catholic H.S. Auditorium

A key aspect of Digital Citizenship is thinking critically when faced with digital dilemmas. Navigating these challenges isn’t just about rules and procedures; it’s about character. Children won’t support someone being bullied online if they don’t have empathy. They won’t see a problem with plagiarism and pornography if they lack integrity. Paul Sanfrancesco will present on Social Media/ Cyberbullying and the appropriate use of technology at home. This session will support parents in helping child(ren) connect challenging digital dilemmas to social and emotional skills through discussion questions.

Mercy High School Open House for 6^th, 7^th & 8^th grade girls and their parents is on Sunday, November 7^th from 1:00-3:30 p.m. Our Open House features presentations by Mercy’s administration, and tours with a Student Ambassador to meet our students, faculty, and coaches. For more details and to pre-register, please go to: https://www.mercyhigh.org/admissions/open-house.cfm.
