McAuley High School
Catholic Schools Week was celebrated in many ways at McAuley. There were letters of appreciation written to Sisters of Mercy and to teachers. An all-school Life Mass was celebrated to focus attention on the sanctity of all life and to welcome back the students who attended the Life March in Washington, D.C. Various personal hygiene items and shoes were collected to be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The celebration ended with Raise the Spirit Day. The students and teachers were in full McAuley spirit wear and, at the urging of the students, the day ended in a faculty-on-
faculty volleyball game. Employees participated in many roles: players, line judges, referee, scorekeeper, photographer and announcer. The game came down to a final game point, with the losing team having to dress up in whatever silly costumes the winning team chose.
