This school has a phenomenal campus ministry program. They actually brought in two professional swing dancers from Indy Swing to teach lessons before prom. I looooove swing dancing! The first two hours of Guerin Catholic's prom is an 18-piece band!!! And the second two hours is a DJ. The students were having a blast learning an alternative style of dance (I bet they'll still bust out the soldier boy!) haha.
Can you imagine everyone having a laptop in your school?! That's how they roll at Guerin Catholic. The incoming students get new Macs and the older kids have Dells (no jealousy or anything here...) :) They also have smart boards, which I had never seen before. This enables the teachers to teach using a touch screen. The kids also use smart boards to learn vocab - we visited a Latin class where students were playing a word matching game. Gosh how things have changed since I went to school!
The Relay for Life "Team Guerin" was my favorite part of the day. A few students are trying to raise money by designing and selling t-shirts, soliciting donations, etc. Last year, many students attended the Relay for Life walk, but now there is an overwhelming support for the cause - two students at school have been afflicted with cancer as well as their Guidance Counselor's wife who just passed away this January. I wish them all the luck in the world and admire them for their cause! EVERYONE, BUY A T-SHIRT!!! Call 317-582-0120
