Hawk Happenings
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from our Cistercian family to yours.
Form VII Retreat
The Form VII retreat brought our juniors together for two days in East Texas to focus on self-reflection, faith, and community.
Hawks Soccer
Soccer season is here, and our Hawks are ready to dominate the field in both middle school and upper school competition!
Bach’s Lunch
Every Wednesday, students at Cistercian sign up to showcase their musical talents during Bach’s Lunch—a lunchtime performance series hosted in Founders Hall. This semester, we’ve enjoyed a variety of performances from piano and violin solos to vocal ensembles; it’s a great way to enjoy the middle of the week, music, and lunch together!
Form III Field Study
Form III had the privilege of touring the Dallas Holocaust Museum. The boys demonstrated exceptional respect, curiosity, and thoughtfulness, readily answering docent questions and asking meaningful ones of their own.
Oliver!
Oliver Jr. opened to a SOLDOUT audience. Our cast of 26 middle school boys dazzled the crowd in multiple song and dance numbers. This is our biggest production in quite some time.
Retreats
Some of life’s best lessons are learned outside of the classroom. Form III and Form VI enjoyed their retreats off campus! Students took a break from their usual schedules to reflect, connect, and just be boys. The day was filled with games, artistic exploration, thoughtful discussions, and Mass—a meaningful time for growth and formation.
Homecoming Game and Dance!
Homecoming 2024! This year’s Disney themed dance included a Narnia-style wardrobe entrance, a Star Wars dance floor, and a real live Kangaroo. What a great weekend.
