Regis Football Camp
Regis Jesuit Football is running a youth football camp for future 6th, 7th and 8th graders in the month of June. Camp will be on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 starting June 7th and ending June 30th for a total of 8 sessions. Participants will get 4 sessions of offense position specific training and 4 defense position specific training sessions (if you are a quarterback, all 8 sessions will be quarterback specific training sessions). You will be coached by Regis Jesuit coaches and players. All participants need to bring their own helmet, jersey and shoulder pads. We will be focusing on proper technique and footwork that is unique to each position. Please email dfilleman@regisjesuit.com if you have any questions.

STM Diaper Drive - FINAL 2 DAYS
We are down to the final two days of this year’s Stuff the Bus Diaper Drive. Please bring any remaining diapers or cash contributions tomorrow or Wednesday to count in the class competitions.
THANK YOU to all who have contributed time, money, or diapers! Last week and today we collected 4205 diapers and $787, bringing the total collected during this year’s drive to 120,909 diapers (after Catholic Charities uses the cash collected to buy diapers in bulk). Congratulations on meeting the new school-wide challenge! Stay tuned for details on the themed dress day.
The current division leaders in the class competition are:
Preschool: Lions class
K-2: Ms. Duran’s second grade class
3-5: Ms. Lamb’s 4th grade class
6-8: Ms. Basile’s 8th grade class
Most of these competitions are close and all could be won with a big push this week.
Low-income families served by Catholic Charities are currently reeling from increases in the price of rent, gas, groceries, and diapers, so let’s finish strong this Holy Week to offer help and hope to as many families as possible!
