Krewe of Knights Pre-Parade Party 2013
We will conclude Catholic School Week with our annual fundraising event.  This year, our event the Krewe of Knights Pre-Parase Party is sure to be a great time for all in attendance.  The evening begins at 7:30 PM and goes til Midnight at the Bay St. Louis Community Hall.  Live music is provided by Kerizma.  Delicious Mardi Gras fare food will be available in the Taste Fair area with wonderful tastings from Trapani's, Neil's, Cuz's, Grammy's, Li'l Ray's, Coach Mike's, Aaron Whitney, Dempsey's, and Cypress Cafe.  A cash bar of Beer and Wine will be offered.  Drink tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
 
This year an online auction component has been added so you can begin viewing items and bidding today.  The items shown will join with our famous, beautiful class projects and home room theme baskets.  Check into the auction daily to see new items.  We have trips, orthodontics, teeth cleanings, services, sports tickets and much more.

And, as always, our "Barrow of Cheer" will be full of an assortment of adult beverages - snacks too!  The raffle for this great wheelbarrow filled with fun includes chances - 1 for $5, or 3 for $10.  Tickets are on sale now in the school office.
 
We've also added a new component- a drawing for all families who purchase tickets.  Each family or sponsor that purchases tickets for next Saturday night will be entered in a drawing for a $350 tuition credit for this or next school year.  This award is not transferable and is a credit, not a cash prize.

Purchase your tickets online or at the school office today, and enter the drawing!
 
Mardi Gras Parade
The Krewe of Knights will roll again this year!  The parade on Friday, February 8th, begins at 9:30 in the school carline.  It then processes on S. Second Street to Union St. where the court will lead everyone to Beach Blvd. and on to Court Street for a toast and presentation at the Chamber Office.
