The LC community once again joined with thousands of others at the March For Life in Washington, DC. We had three busloads of students, faculty, staff and administrators travel for the day, protesting the Supreme Court decision on Roe v Wade in January 1973. Despite the rainy and cold weather, enthusiasm was very high among all the marchers. A special thank you once again to our anonymous alumni donor, whose gift made it possible for us to purchase our yellow beanies. We are very grateful!
The Class of 2016 has over 200 registrants, more than this time last year! At the end of each day, if there is an eighth grader who has spent a "shadow day" at LC and has a sibling who is also attending LC, they get their photo taken by Mrs. Cope and it is posted on the second floor bulletin board. We encourage all who are interested in attending LC this fall to submit applications for admission ASAP to insure appropriate academic placement for the 2012-2013 school year. Don't delay!
Another wonderful 8th grade Visitation Day was held on January 19 for 264 eighth graders. They visited classrooms as well as an activities/athletics fair. Our student leaders joined them for a pizza lunch and at the end of the day, all joined in the dance line with our theme song, "We Are Family." We hope to see everyone back at LC for our orientation program in the summer as members of the Class of 2016. Special thanks to our faculty, administration, staff and students for a great time!

Daniel Maloney '13 and Patrick Coulter '13 (both from St. Jude's) are very proud of their efforts in upgrading LC's The Crusader newspaper to our own online School News Agency. Guided by their moderator, Miss Elizabeth Burgoon from the English Department, "...we pride ourselves in being the most reliable and dependable news source at Lansdale Catholic."
More than 100 LC students, faculty, staff and administrators once again joined with others around the country on Monday, January 16 for the Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Over 500 breakfast bags were put together for Aid For Friends. They are a non-profit group that provides meals for the elderly and shut-ins in the Philadelphia region. Special thanks to Mrs. Graham, Mr. Murphy and the Community Service Corps leadership with this event. For more photos and a video link,
