Chesterton Weekly 2/26/21
“The man who lives in a small community lives in a much larger world. He knows much more of the fierce variety and uncompromising divergences of men… In a large community, we can choose our companions. In a small community, our companions are chosen for us.”

Gala Updates
Register for the Gala
The Gala is in one week, and we are so excited! If you have not yet registered for the Gala, please register yourself and your guests for our 2021 Fleur-de-Lis Gala. Everyone who is attending the gala, whether at home, St. James, or Bobak’s, must register. Registration is simply to keep track of our attendees, sign you up for our auction, and keep you in the loop for all things gala! Please use this link to register. You can find the registration in the top bar on the page.
Send the registration to your family and friends!! This registration link includes the link to our virtual gala program. The gala is our one and only fundraiser of the year. Let’s make it our best one yet!!
Register for the Auction
Our auction is LIVE! You will be blown away by all the incredible baskets that were donated. Thank you so much to all our families who worked so hard to not only obtain the various items, but putting them together in such a beautiful way. A special thank you to Mrs. Nawas, Mrs. Mahoney and Mrs. Florczak-Seeman for heading up the auction team. Now go bid, everyone!
Sell Your Raffle Tickets
This is our last weekend before the Gala to get those raffle tickets sold! The raffle tickets are a significant part of our Gala funds and help make scholarships possible. Students, raffle ticket sales are a great way to earn some merit points towards your house! We had a certain Chrysostom student who sold 30 tickets this week. That’s 30 points towards their house! This could significantly change the White Horse Cup competition. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity.
Student Expectations
Please see this PDF for a list of expectations of all students at all gala sites.
Dance Recording - Gala Dancers Only
We will be recording our student dances for our 2021 Gala on Monday, 3/1, from 3:45 - 5pm. This is only for the students who are doing the Gala dances. Student dancers, please bring your gala attire to school that day. Gentleman, please come well groomed. Ladies please come with your hair and makeup done, but in a simple fashion. Mrs. Vanda Varnai-Garcia requests that the ladies have their hair pulled back so it does not interfere with their dancing. We are so excited to see the dances!
Spring Sports
Each season begins at a slightly different time than the others. Please keep an eye on your email for specifics from your coaches.
