Great Weekend!!

This past weekend, fourteen members of the Forensics Team showed their skills against the nations best at Harvard University in Boston. It was an exciting, but very cold weekend. We were very pleased with the results as two of our Senior students, Ed Sagendorf and John Rotondo, finished in the top forty out of two hundred and thirty Duo teams. Ed and John do a scene from, The Producers, which is very funny. Competitions took place Saturday and Sunday on the campus of Harvard, but we were left with more than enough time to do some sight seeing and eat at some of the finest restaurants in Boston. Many of our team members are now looking forward to the National Forensics Competition that will take place Memorial Day weekend in Houston, Texas. What a fantastic way for our team members to display their talents!

A Great Day to be a Viking!

This Saturday is going to be a very busy one here at Union Catholic. It actually may be considered the most exciting day of the year. Registration for the Class of 2011 will take place Saturday morning. I can’t believe it is already here. I really am excited for registration, especially after the accepted students dance last weekend. There was definitely an excitement in the air, and I believe it will carry over into this weekend. Our next great class will walk in the door this weekend. Make sure you see me Saturday for your class t-shirt!

In the afternoon, our Boys Basketball team will play Rahway in the Bernoski Games. Our team is off to their best start in years, at 13-3, and have been ranked 8 in Union County for the last month. It should be an exciting game. Come cheer us on at 2 p.m. at Rahway High School.

Also on Saturday, our Forensics team will compete in a league meet at Ridge High School. The end of the year is nearing, so every meet is a big one. At this point we have eight students that are in contention for bids to the National Tournament in Houston, Texas. We will also compete at Harvard University in February. It’s going to be cold, but it is our students’ favorite trip. It’s also my favorite!

There is always something exciting going on in Viking Country. Check out my blog next week for results. See you on Saturday!
