As we continue to observe Lent, each of the homerooms has been given a Lenten activity. HT is joining with other Catholic organizations around the world in Operation Rice Bowl. The objective of Operation Rice Bowl is to make us more aware of our brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world and to pray for those who are suffering. We are also encouraged to bring in our loose change and donate it to Catholic Relief Services. This money will go to help local and worldwide charities of our choice. As a school, we have set a goal of raising $500.

The Chicago Police and Firefighter Training Academy is recruiting sophomores who are interested in careers in public safety, law enforcement, criminal justice, or fire science.

Interested sophomores should see Mr. Baisden in the counseling center regarding dates for informational meetings about the program.

Students who are 16-years-old or older who are interested in a summer job as a lifeguard at the Chicago Parks District pools should visit the Counseling Center for details and information on how to become qualified for the position. Training classes begin March 23, 2010.
