DeSales Baseball Wins District Championship!
Congratulations to our DeSales Baseball team on winning the District Championship game yesterday! They played against Almira-Coulee-Hartline and won with a score of 8-3! This victory means that the our boys will play at Regionals next week! Go Irish!
DeSales Band Performance on Friday
The DeSales High School Band will be performing in the gym during intermission of the school play Friday night. The short set of just four tunes has been selected to fit nicely into the time slot but will feature several soloists and showcase the work the students have been doing this spring. The band members wish to honor their teacher, Mr. Phil Lynch, by taking a collection of donations toward his medical expenses as he battles cancer. There is no charge for the music though! Please consider attending the play (which starts at 7 PM) and making it a night! But for anyone who just wants to hear the band, we ask that you enter the parking lot doors QUIETLY or directly enter the gym through the North Door. We hope to see you there!
