BOYS' TENNIS: SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK
The Boys' Tennis team starts official practice this week with indoor practices at the Western Area YMCA on Montour Run Road. We still have room for several Varsity letter-eligible positions (would look great on your high school transcripts to show more letters in a variety of sports). Please see Mr. Bowman immediately if you have not already signed up.
Tuesday: 830 to 10 pm at the Western Area YMCA (WAY)
Wed: 8 to 9 PM at WAY
Friday: 4-530 pm at WAY (2 courts)
With the warm weather heading our way, we will try to have an outdoor practice on Saturday afternoon, if possible, and with the time change, we are shooting for practices the following week at perhaps 5:30 to 7 p.m. Stay tuned for that schedule as our home courts are still under about a foot of snow at this point.
First match is scheduled for March 22nd, so we need to get some time in as quickly as possible. I know many of you are practicing on your own—keep it up!
If you have questions, please contact Coach Burgess via email or phone at
ecb@weekendwarrior.biz or (412) 491-0414 (feel free to text).

BISHOP CANEVIN ALUMNAE COMPLETE PENN STATE'S 46 HOUR DANCE MARATHON
Three former Bishop Canevin students, class of 2006, Maria Martin, Becca Moretz and Abbey Moehler were dancers in the 2010 Penn State Dance Marathon. They successfully completed the 46 hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon that took place February 19-21.
In 1973, a group of dedicated students from the Pennsylvania State University Fraternity and Sorority Community organized the first Inter-Fraternity Panhellenic Council Dance Marathon. That year 34 dancers participated and raised $2,000.00. Since then, THON's presence in the Penn State community has grown exponentially. THON now has 15,000 student volunteers, 700 dancers and has raised more than $61 million benefiting the Four Diamond Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. The total for 2010, $7,838,054.36, was revealed at 4:15 Sunday, February 21, in front of a crowd of 16,000 inside the Bryce Jordan Center.
