elections were held on November 3rd. The assembly was held prior to the actual elections.
A prayer by Mr. LeBoeuf kicked off the assembly. He prayed that the Saleem Malik (right), got up and talked about the freshman community service project. Each freshman is required to spend at least two hours collecting cans. There will also be an altar made of the cans the freshmen collect. Father Doogan walked up to the microphone and gave three reasons to contribute to the project. 1. It is important that we remember to give back during the season of giving. 2. It helps build class unity. 3. Freshmen are required to help.
