Beginning yesterday and continuing through Friday of this week, John Carroll is hosting the annual Patriots Week. During this week, the school community of JC comes together to show support, appreciation, and pride for the school.
Like Spirit Week, every day has a different activity to keep students engaged. There is something for everyone to enjoy each day and is a beloved tradition of JC.
Yesterday the SGA kicked off the week with the March Madness Final Four face-offs during an extended 20-minute advisory.
Service Learning Coordinator Kristen Brown, introduced the service project.
Members of the four classes also wore their class color t-shirts to show their pride. Teachers wore their new color: purple.
Earlier today the cafeteria served cookout food inside of the cafeteria itself as the weather kept the cookout inside. Games were relocated to the Upper Gym.
Tonight current families, alumni, and friends of the school over the age of 21 are encouraged to join in on the Patriots Night Out at Das Bierhalle in Bel Air for an opportunity to connect with peers in the community.
Today is the community’s annual day of giving, Patriots Day. It is a time to unite with Patriots for the most significant giving event of the year. On this special day, the entire JC community comes together, both on and off campus, to make a difference. Supporting the Fund for JC will directly impact the evolving needs of the students and faculty, ensuring a transformative high school experience for generations of Patriots to come.
A spring music concert will be held by the band, chorus, orchestra, Bella Voce, Jazz, and Rock band at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium. All students and families are encouraged to come and celebrate the spring season with some cheer.
Tomorrow is Wellness Wednesday. Students are encouraged to dress down in their Patriots Week t-shirts with jeans, sweatpants, leggings, and sneakers.
Activities will be held in the U-hallway throughout the school day. There will be a Wellness Wednesday assembly about nutrition and cooking exhibitions.
“Wellness Wednesday was my favorite,” said junior Annabeth Hohman about last year’s Patriots Week.
On Thursday, the Patriots Week Mass & Alumni Awards will be held at 10:30 am and will be live-streamed. The last day is Friday, April 11. The mini-golf tournament will be held all day in the Upper Gym.
