Love It!

With a pair of 4-1 wins, JPII Girls and Boys Tennis teams notched their first victories of the season (and the program!) over Cape Cod Tech yesterday. The Lions' swept the their six singles matches on route to the wins.

Congratulations Lions tennis, Coach Wile and Coach Gaudet!

Tripping Lily

I was already jazzed for Red Molly this spring, having seen them earlier this winter in Martsons Mills and then adding some of their great music to my iPod.

Now, I'm extra-juiced: Mark Girardin, JPII music teacher, mentioned Tripping Lily, a Cape-based folk/ uekelale-type ensemble, one day in the copy room. Two conversations later, they're added to the bill on June 6. Gonna be some great music!

Check out Tripping Lily on youtube.

Looking Good...

Despite a 7th inning, 7-5 loss to Cape Tech in the home opener, Lions baseball looked good with their play and the new uniforms. Check out these photos (below). Next up: Girls softball home opener today!

         

          

Going into the 7th...

Cape Tech 5, JPII Lions 5 in the home opener -- heading into the 7th.

Go Lions!

Matthew Kelly, in Twenty-Five Words or Less

Still glowing after an awesome Matthew Kelly presentation last night. Five Hundred(!) people packed the JPII auditorium and enjoyed words with genuine wisdom that left much to ponder.

It's funny how each of us can hear something a little different, yet converge on truth. In Chapel today, I asked students a simple question:

In one sentence, What did Matthew Kelly say last night?

Taken together from the wealth of Matthew's presentation,I got a great look at what is important to our students.
