Disappointing Change made at CHS

CHS / MCA - Parents, Alumni, Alumna & Dear Friends,    After receiving a nice brochure from CHS updating us on future important dates that are planned, I notice that the Catholic High School 2008 - Homecoming Football Game is scheduled on a THURSDAY night, Sept. 25, 2008 and during the annual Sugar Cane Festival.  We previously called it "Homecoming Week", but we can't do that anymore - since it will now be 4 days.  WHY?  Who made this decision to change?? 

Please keep academics a priority and not unnecessary changes, like this to our school.  This game has ALWAYS, traditionally been played on a Friday night, late in the season.  Maybe there is a good reason for this change, maybe not - - but I feel that someone is not considering all of our alumni and alumna who are out of town that annually make this game.  We want and welcome them to "Come Home" like CHS often promotes.  A game on Thursday will not let that happen, considering college classes and work on Friday.  Now I hear that the HC Dance is planned right after the game.  WHY, again?  These traditions do not need changing.

IF, it's not too late, let's ALL contact CHS and ask them to please change their decision  and bring "Our 2008 Homecoming" back to the full week - later during the season.  Thank You!
