Panther Updates

St JPII Families & Boosters,

Our Lady Panther Volleyball team will be playing in the Regional Semifinals with a chance to advance to the Regional Championship game this week. Their first game is Wednesday the 26th at 6:00 pm at St JPII in the Panther Den. We need everyone to come out and cheer them on! Students who attend and check in  will receive 20 pts for their house. A win will secure their spot in the Regional championship games in Gainesville on Saturday the 29th and we will send detailed updates as they advance. Our Cross Country team will be competing in the Regional meet in Pensacola on Saturday the 29th. We wish both teams the best as they represent St JPII in Regional Competition.

Our Football team has a conference game on Friday the 28th against Oak Hall in Gainesville at 7:00 pm. After their win against Munroe this past Friday night they secured the title of NFCC North Division Champs and secured their spot to compete in the conference championship game on November 10th. There will be another email with details on how you can reserve your spot on the fan bus to go and support the football team in the NFFC Conference Championship in Gainesville and students will be allowed and encouraged to attend.

Our second and final St JPII hoodie order is open and this will be the last chance to order and the only uniform approved pullover. Now that the hoodies have been made available this dress code item will be enforced.  Please click in the link below to order by the November 4th deadline.
