The Weekly Update #4
MESSAGE FROM ADMISSIONS
As we enter this holiday season, all of us at Skutt Catholic wish you and your family a blessed and peaceful few weeks ahead. We hope you have time to reflect on Christ's birth and prepare your hearts for the joy of Christmas.
It was wonderful to see so many 7th and 8th graders at our Music Bingo event in November. The students had a great time enjoying cookies and snacks, singing along to the music, and winning fun prizes!
Looking ahead, our 8th Grade Entrance Exam—and the 6th and 7th Grade Practice Exam—will take place soon after the holidays. Please make sure your child is registered. 8th grade applications must be submitted by January 11 in order to be considered for merit scholarships and financial assistance.
As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance in exploring high school options for your family. At Skutt Catholic, there's truly a place for everyone, and we hope your child will choose to Soar With Us.
Happy holidays,
Deacon Tim Bloomingdale

MASON ’28 (Elkhorn Valley View)
"I chose Skutt Catholic because of the environment and the feeling of being in the right place. I also chose Skutt Catholic because of our successes in academics and sports. There are also opportunities to follow my faith and grow in a relationship with God here."
ERIN ’25 (St. Stephen the Martyr)
“I chose Skutt Catholic because I wanted to be a part of, and learn in, a faith-based co-ed community. Once I witnessed Skutt’s community and inclusiveness, I knew it was the place for me! My favorite thing about Skutt Catholic is how easy it is to get involved. I had never played tennis before, but I was able to join last year, and I had a blast! There truly is something for everyone!"
LUKE ’26 (St. Wenceslaus)
"I chose Skutt Catholic mostly because of everyone’s friendliness and outgoing attitude. The people are nice and inclusive here."
We invite 7th and 8th graders to follow a current SkyHawk for the day! Come see what a day in the life of a SkyHawk student is like.

The Advent season is upon us at Skutt Catholic, and our students are preparing their hearts for Christmas by embracing several spiritual opportunities. We have additional Masses scheduled before school, daily Adoration in our chapel, and weekly Confession available to all.
Advent is a time of waiting and preparation. During our first Mass of Advent, we were encouraged by Fr. Vincent to notice how the Lord is with us in the dark areas of our hearts. Even in our areas of sinfulness, Jesus is longing to bring His light in. May we all take to heart the invitation to wait in joyful expectation for Jesus' birth into more areas of our lives.
