    St. John the Baptist School Presents Saturday, March 2nd, 2019 Rock Garden Banquet & Conference Center - Green Bay, WI Doors Open at 5 pm Thank you to our Corporate Sponsors! Welcome! Welcome to the St. John the Baptist School Auction! In 1888, our parish community started St. Leo Catholic School. Thanks to the service of many lay people and religious communities, our school continues and is stronger than ever. These people made a tremendous sacrifice of time, talent and treasure. They did so because they believed in strong academics, but more importantly, that our Catholic faith must be an integral part of raising children. Saint Leo Catholic School is now named St. John the Baptist School and we are proud to continue the great legacy our forefathers handed onto us. Today, our parents and parish community continue to make many sacrifices to make Catholic education possible in our parish. Many second, third and fourth generation families walk our halls, pray in and for our school and contribute financially toward the school’s continued success ensuring our faith community continues to grow and welcome new families. Together we make local Catholic education possible. We work to maintain an environment that nurtures strong faith, fosters academic excellence, and encourages vibrant family life. The work and sacrifices we make together plant the seeds of faith in our young people. Thank you for attending our school and thank you for your financial support of our school. In Christ, Andrew Mulloy Principal 1 St. John the Baptist School Mission Statement St. John the Baptist School provides an education that is centered in Jesus Christ and on the Gospel Values through the intercession of St.

  • Big Red Tequila
    Big Red Tequila Tres Navarre, #1 by Rick Riordan, 1964– Published: 1997 J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Dedication & Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 66 J J J J J I I I I I To Haley Riordan, bienvenido and a good beginning Chapter 1 „Who?“ said the man occupying my new apartment. „Tres Navarre,“ I said. I pressed the lease agreement against the screen door again so he could see. It was about a hundred degrees on the front porch of the small in-law apartment. The air-conditioning from inside was bleeding through the screen door and evaporating on my face. Somehow that just made it seem hotter. The man inside my apartment glanced at the paper, then squinted at me like I was some bizarre piece of modern art. Through the metal screen he looked even uglier than he probably was—heavyset, about forty, crew cut, features all pinched toward the center of his face. He was bare-chested and wore the kind of thick polyester gym shorts only P.E. coaches wear. Use small words, I thought. „I rented this apartment for July fifteenth. You were supposed to move out by then. It‘s July twenty-fourth.“ No signs of remorse from the coach. He looked back over his shoulder, distracted by a double play on the TV. He looked at me again, now slightly annoyed. „Look, asshole,“ he said. „I told Gary I needed a few extra weeks. My transfer hasn‘t come through yet, okay? Maybe August you can have it.“ We stared at each other.
