Father-Daughter Dinner Dance 

This year’s Father-Daughter Dinner Dance was January 20, at the InterContinental Hotel in St. Paul. Nearly 500 girls and their fathers/special guests danced the night away! It was a memorable night of fun, food, socializing with friends, and dancing by all! Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this event possible with a special thanks to Karen Hasegawa of KarenHasToDecorate for donating her time and the centerpieces for the tables.

This is a great way to get involved at Cretin-Derham Hall and meet other parents. CDH is an excellent high school and with your involvement, we continue to build an outstanding high school community. Click here to volunteer today! We truly appreciate your time and talents.

Mother/Daughter Assault Prevention Training

This training is based on the “Not Me!” book written by Al Horner. It provides prevention information, tactics and tools to help avoid potentially dangerous situations. Topics include high-risk factors involved in assaults, who attacks, when and where they occur, and how to recognize the sequence of an assault to stop them early. The class also covers escape techniques from situations that cannot be avoided.

The class will be on Sunday, April 15, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Griep Family Gymnasium. Please enter through the Activity Center doors on Albert Street. Check-In will start at 12:15 p.m.

This class is for Mother/Daughter pairings from the Class of 2018 and 2019.

The fee to register is only $10/person (normally $79/person, but offered at a reduced rate thanks to a CDH parent donation). Class size is limited to the first 50 mother/daughter duos or 100 individuals to register. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend with their mothers or another trusted female adult. The training class has been filling quickly, and registration is first-come, first-served. Click here to register online.
