First Concussion Baseline Clinic Friday, May 10
In 2009, amid growing concerns about sport related concussions in young athletes, Marin Catholic High School partnered with Dr. Eric J. Freitag, a neuropsychologist and expert on concussion assessment and care. Marin Catholic now has a comprehensive sport concussion assessment and management program which has provided us with an effective tool in ensuring that MC athletes have recovered from their concussion and are returned to the field safe, health and ready! There will be a series of baseline testings, beginning with the first one on Friday, May 10 in the Pope John Paul II Student Center immediately after flex dismissal. Fall sport athletes are strongly encouraged to sign up for this first baseline testing on May 10 to avoid fall testing from interfering with practice or games in the fall. For more information about the Sport Concussion Program, please read the letter to parents and athletes and visit www.sportconcussion.com. You may also contact Jamie Waterman(MCHS, Certified Athletic Trainer) for specific questions regarding the MCHS program.

Moved By Words Art Exhibit

During the month of May, The Throckmorton Theater will be featuring paintings, ceramics and photography by advanced Marin Catholic students in an exhibit titled "Moved by Words". There will be an opening reception for the show on May 7 from 5:00-7:00pm.
