Bluejay Bulletin

All Juniors must pay $7 by Monday, October 26, to pay for their lunch during their UNL visit on Tuesday, October 27. This incidental bill has been billed to your FACTS Family Portal as "$7 UNL lunch fee," so you can pay it online.

Should you want to pay the lunch fee with cash or a check instead, please send $7 in cash or check to the high school office by Monday, October 26, and it will be applied to your FACTS account. If paying with cash, please send the EXACT AMOUNT.

Also, all juniors must return their signed FIeld Trip Permission slip for the UNL visit to the office by Monday, October 26.

Kelly Daberkow, Guardian Angels Central Catholic's IT manager, was selected for this week's NSAA's "Above and Beyond" award!

Mr. Daberkow's nomination stated "Kelly is a vital part of the success of Guardian Angels Central Catholic and truly embodies what it means to go above and beyond. He can best be described as a "Jack of All Trades" because of the many roles he takes on to support the school, its activities, and its students. Kelly does not simply fulfill his job responsibilities, he continually looks for ways to help wherever he is needed. His flexibility, reliability and willingness to serve make him an invaluable member of the GACC family." Mr. Daberkow was nominated by GACC Athletic Director Josh Batenhorst.
