Drive Day
Jesuit High School's annual Mission
Drive was a tremendous success this
the completion of Mission Drive Day on
April 23.
The campus was teeming with
fundraising activities the Friday
morning of Mission Drive Day as Jesuit
through small fees associated with
games, activities, food, and various
competitions.
The generosity of the student body
during weeks of homeroom collections
Jason
Ault and April Bombka was the school's
most generous this year, collecting
sales of baked goods, and teacher
raised $473.
Jesuit's Director of Community Service,
, had established a
Convocation in March. Last year's Mission
at Jesuit, though Mission Drive Day was
of the school's great annual traditions,
the Mission Drive has been a means for
Jesuit students across generations to help
thousands of people in need. In recent
years that has meant reaching children in
need in locales such as Belize, Colombia,
Nicaragua, and El Paso, Texas.
Among the winners of the various
Mission Drive Day games and events
this year were Caleb Williams '21
and Wade Woodaz '21
bocce tournament;
Ben Tempest '21 (2nd), and Jacob
Gargula '22 (3rd) in the Super Smash
Bros. tournament; and the spikeball
champions were John Barreto '21, Dominic
, Luis Kortright '22, and
Dominic Pawlusiak '22.
The day concluded in the Tiger Palace
with a school-wide music concert
featuring the full array of Jesuit musicians
performing before an enthusiastic student
body. It was punctuated by Jesuit's
electrifying drumline, led by drum major
Edward Morrison '21
drumming of Miggy Sumagang '21.
