Can't Hide our Viking Pride

This school is off to a fast start, with so many exciting moments. Our fall Pep Rally took place this week and school spirit was in the air. Our varsity sports teams were in uniform, while students in the crowd sported their Blue Crew t-shirts. The Viking was in attendance and our cheerleaders kept the energy up with a great performance. One of the highlights was the student versus faculty volleyball game. Of course the faculty was victorious!!!

Open House has come and gone and it was great to see such an enormous crowd come out to visit our school. Their definitely was a buzz in the air that Tuesday night and I’m very excited to be meeting such nice eighth grade students and families. I am still making my way around the schools for visits, so if I haven’t been there yet, I’m on my way.

Our Forensics team has also gotten off to a fast start. While competing at the University of Pennsylvania in October, UC won second place nationally in the category of Declamation. That is the second year in a row that we have won that award. We begin our league meets at the end of this month. With about thirty Union Catholic students competing, we are looking for to a good start at that first meet held here at Union Catholic. We are also looking forward to our other away meets at Princeton and Harvard.

If you get a chance this weekend, stop by and check out Union County Tournament action as our soccer teams and volleyball team compete for victories. Check the website for dates and times. See you soon!!!!
