Catalyst Maria High School is celebrating Homecoming 2018 this week! CMHS scholars and staff have celebrated Homecoming Week with decorated hallways, themed dress down days, spirit activities, and a pep rally! The football team will play their Homecoming game against Fenger High School at 3:00 on Saturday, 9/22/18 at Stagg Stadium (1035 W 74th St.) and the Homecoming dance, “Let’s Glow Crazy,” will follow on Saturday night! A special shout-out to Ms. Dore, Mr. White, and the entire CMHS team for making this week so special for scholars!
Both Catalyst campuses were honored to host 17 employees of MB Financial this week. MB employees tutored students and helped with service projects at both schools. MB and its team have been an incredible partner to Catalyst in lifting up our scholars, families, and communities- many thanks for their partnership and support!
On Wednesday, 300 men welcomed the 520 scholars of Catalyst Circle Rock for the school's fourth annual Men Take Your Child to School Day. This event inspired all in attendance, and was featured on ABC News (linked here). Thank you to the men of the Catalyst Circle Rock for making this event such an incredible success!
