The class Masses that DeLaSalle offered this fall, which gathered students by grade level, will resume this spring with a slight twist. Instead of celebrating Mass, students will gather at St. Boniface Catholic Church in northeast Minneapolis and may receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Students who are not Catholic may also meet with a priest if they wish. The gathering also includes time for Eucharistic adoration and quiet reflection. Theology teachers will help prepare students in classes ahead of their grade level gathering.

Good luck to the #2 seed DeLaSalle girls’ basketball team, as they face top-seeded Mahtomedi in the section final on Thursday at 7pm. The winner goes to the state tournament next week. The game is at East Ridge High School and DeLaSalle will operate a fan bus to and from the game. To sign up for the bus, click here. You must sign up by 1:00pm on Thursday.

The school community will gather for a Pepfest on Wednesday to recognize student participation in activities, which will include Theatre students performing an excerpt from the spring musical “Les Miserables.”

And the environment by placing your plastic plates and trays and metal silverware in the appropriate bins, and NOT in the trash.

As a school, we throw away over 400 metal spoons, 250 metal forks, and 75 plastic plates each year. That adds up to $550.00 worth of supplies annually, or $2,200.00 over four years. Those are costs that need to be covered by tuition or lunchroom fees. Furthermore, discarding these items in any of the waste bins poses problems for our waste-handling partners and our environment. So, save all of us some money and save the environment – place your reusable silverware, plates, and trays in the appropriate bins. And if you see silverware, plates, or trays in the waste bins, please reach in and relocate them to their proper bins; or notify a staff person to help. Thanks!

DeLaSalle students who receive need-based financial aid must schedule and complete 10 hours of work-service each year in return for their grant. Seniors who have not completed work service need to do so by April 30; those considering participation in a spring sport or activity should get it completed BEFORE or DURING spring break. Work service shifts are usually available after school from 3:15-5:15pm. Special work service shifts are scheduled March 8 from 1:15-4:15pm, March 9 from 9:30am-3:00pm, and during spring break (April 2-6) from 9:30am-3:00pm. To schedule work service, please contact Mr. Shelstad at 612.676.7614.

Applications are now available for driver’s education classes, which will be offered in April, June, and late July/early August. Classes are limited to the first 25 students who register with a $200 down payment. Click here for class dates and applications.
