Coach Lindwall and the team braved the cold February waters of the Long Island Sound and successfully raised over $2,000 for the kids at Wakeman Boys & Girls Club. Next up for the Women is the state tournament: watch this space. Finally this week, congratulations to JV Cheer. The team took first place in the junior varsity division of the Naugatuck Greyhound Showdown, in addition to placing an impressive second overall at the competition. Go Cadets!

Applications can also be submitted online at www.psas.org, using our school code: 3005. The application deadline is March 1, 2012. Please call Mrs Joanne Rodgerson 203.378.9378 x310 with any questions you may have. Holocaust Remembrance. Eighty-nine year old Mr Frank Stuban, granfather to senior Paul and freshman Bridget Monks, shared his experiences of World War II, specifically as a kidnapped young man detained in a forced labor camp, from 1941-1945. At just eighteen years of age, Mr Stuban was but one abductee of over twelve million across Eastern Europe. These individuals were taken and forced into heavy labor: mixing cement, building barracks, digging ditches, breaking stones and more, for twelve to fourteen hours every day, with little more than a bit of potato soup to sustain them. Mr Stuban spent four years in two such camps: Regensburg and Essen. Blessed with liberation by the American Forces, Mr Stuban spent a further two years in a displaced persons camp, before his eventual journey to the United States. His stories and remembrances of the War and of the Holocaust were shared with Ms Lowell’s classes on Friday, where he freely and candidly answered all questions from students, as well as offering insight and hope into such a dark time in our collective history. Thank you, Mr Stuban. MARDI GRAS... ...came a week early this year, with costumes, beads and an after school celebration that included foods from around the world as well as a piper for the crowds. The day was completed with the well attended Talent Show in the evening. Thanks to all the faculty, staff and Clubs who made the day a success!

This year’s musical at SJ, Seussical, will open at the end of March. As songs are rehearsed and sets are built, the ensemble is now offering ads for sale to appear in the program. It’s a great way for businesses and individuals to get exposure and support the arts at SJ. Ads start at just $5 for a single line, to $60 for a full page—great value for any event.
