Middle School News
Thank you to the many participants and volunteers that attended our Middle School Youth Group Open House last week. It was a successful night with a great turnout of 6th graders! MSYG meets this Thursday, the 17th, but there is no MSYG meeting on the 24th and 31st.
We hope to have piqued your interest and want all 6, 7, and 8th graders to join us for BASH on April 16. This annual event is a great Middle School festival for those in the Arlington Diocese. There is food, games, musical entertainment (Popple is the headliner), Mass with the Bishop and more. Cost is $10/pp and includes entry, a t-shirt and food. View the promotional video to learn more and register online ASAP – deadline is April 9.
