List of 9 items.

• Evening of Style

  The Evening of Style is a fun filled night to view the latest fashion trends and socialize with friends and fellow parents. This unique event significantly contributes to the fundraising efforts of the Bash Online through table registrations and donated gifts of products and services. Due to COVID, we are unable to host the fashion show but will be implementing a collection party to support the Bash through a gift gathering initiative during Catholic Schools Week. Each grade is encouraged to donate different products, items or gift cards and turn them in to the business office February 1-5. The grade that collects the most items will earn an out of uniform day at school and a Bash Break snack at a later date. Grade specific themes:

  Freshmen are asked to donate home and garden items. 

  Sophomores are asked to donate entertainment items. 

  Juniors are asked to donate health and beauty items.

  Seniors are asked to donate food and beverage items.

  Thank you for supporting the Evening of Style with a gift! All items are greatly appreciated. Cash gifts will be used to supplement the physical donations that are received.

  If you have questions about gift ideas or need to make arrangements for gift delivery, please contact Carolyn at cburchkirchhoff@dowlingcatholic.org or 515.222.1095.

• Grandparents’ Day

  The Dowling Catholic Community came together virtually to celebrate our special grandparents and grandfriends in October 2020. A unique video was created to showcase the special bonds between grandchildren and grandparents. In a short speech, Senior Kristin Wenham described the special bond and love she shares with her grandparents. That video can be found here. Alumni Dr. Joe Cordaro '67 shared the length and strength of his DCHS ties as a former student and now as a grandparent. The video, found here, also showcased the talents of our DCHS choir. 
  
  

  We are looking forward to welcoming our special guests back to campus for a traditional Mass October 7, 2021

• Pancake Breakfast

  The 59th annual DCHS pancake breakfast looked a bit different in 2020. This virtual event featured a drive through party that included a hot coffee station, entertainment provided by DCHS cheerleaders and future cheerleaders and performances by the DCHS drumline. Mr. Pancake and Mr. Bacon also made appearances. The main attraction remained the same: pancakes! Again, Heartland Products generously donated the delicious pancake mix. The mix was then packaged by a group  of volunteers into take home breakfast kits that included individual syrups and coloring pages. 
  
  

  We look forward to hosting our traditional event on Sunday, October 24, 2021.

• Christmas Luncheon

  The Christmas Luncheon will be held on December 2nd, 2021. This event is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas and the Dowling Catholic community with a wonderful lunch, special guest speakers and entertainment from student musicians and vocalists. A great way to start the season of Advent.
