 Valle Catholic School Homecoming When Valle Catholic School in is geared up for Homecoming Week 2009, the whole school gets involved! 5th Graders prepared for their annual Homecoming Shoebox Float Parade—see pictures. This year's installment was planned to have been held on Friday afternoon, October 9, which was also “BLUE AND WHITE DAY,” the school colors. 5th Graders prepared to "parade" through the school displaying their creative and interesting homecoming “floats,” but, in the end, the weather did not cooperate, and the parade had to be cancelled, much to the disappointment of all. 
250th Anniversary Banner
The homecoming game, however, proved to be the bright spot for Valle Homecoming Weekend. Some of the classes had invited the Valle football “Warriors” into their classrooms, and cheerleaders taught cheers to the younger students. First graders decorated the cafeteria with their drawings of football players and cheerleaders, and the Valle Warriors brought home a decisive victory over the St. Pius Lancers, 42-3. Students gathered for Mass on Saturday night at which the high school students served in all liturgical leadership roles, including the choir. Ste. Genevieve Parish presented Valle Catholic School with a special banner as part of its 250th Anniversary celebration this year. Fifth-Graders are Dancing with a Star! Fifth graders at St. Frances Cabrini Academy danced with a “star” recently—internationally-known Broadway and show dance champion Pierre Dulaine, creator of Dancing Classrooms. Two additional 5th grade classrooms at St. Katharine Drexel in south city and Our Lady of Guadalupe in north county, will participate in 10 weeks of ballroom dance instruction this fall. Another two schools, yet to be named, will be added in the spring semester. Read More
