Piqua Catholic School

Beginning Monday, January 23rd through January 27th, during both lunch periods the students may bring in money to determine which teacher will kiss a pig! You heard that right! During Catholic Schools Week the teacher that has raised the most money by Monday, January 30th will have to give Porky a smooch on the snout! If your child also wishes to pucker up and kiss the pig too then they may bring in a $1.00 donation. Thank you for supporting the Music Department!
