Help Bring the Jordan Catholic spirit to life in this year’s Labor Day Parade!
This year’s Rock Island Labor Day Parade is just around the corner, and we’re looking for someone to take the lead and help our school show up in a big way!
The theme for this year is “Rockin’ the Arts”—a celebration of creativity, talent, and expression.
This is the perfect opportunity to represent our school with a float or walking group that shines with color, school pride, and artistic flair.
We Need a Parade Lead Who Can:
•Coordinate Jordan Catholic’s parade entry
•Brainstorm and execute a theme (simple or artsy—we’re flexible!)
•Organize supplies and decorations
•Rally volunteers to help with setup and day-of support
•Help us submit the entry form by August 18
Parade Details:
•📍 Where: Parade starts at Washington Jr. High (33rd St. & 18th Ave)
•🗓 When: Monday, September 1, 2025
•⏰ Line-up at 8:30 AM / Parade starts at 9:30 AM
•🛻 Route: 2 miles (ends at Rock Island High School)
Why This Matters:
This is one of the biggest community events of the year, and it’s an incredible way to:
•Celebrate Catholic education
•Promote school spirit
•Engage families and staff in something joyful and visible
•Have fun! (Really—parade mornings are a blast.)
Urgency Check:
The entry deadline is August 18, so we’re looking for someone who can jump in quickly and help us get organized.
You won’t be alone—we’ll provide support, volunteers, and guidance. But we need a point person to bring it all together.
Interested or want more info? Contact: [email protected]
Let’s show Rock Island what Jordan Catholic is all about—faith, family, and a whole lot of heart.

What an incredible adventure we had during Week 6 of Jordan's Summer Camp! Our "Dinosaur Discovery" theme was a prehistoric party, and our campers became true paleontologists. They cooled off with dino popsicles, unleashed their inner artists creating dino art using cotton swabs, and conquered challenging dino puzzles.
The excitement continued with a thrilling dino scavenger hunt and an amazing ice egg excavation where they unearthed hidden surprises! Our creative campers also crafted fantastic cardboard dino heads, completed a collaborative dino bulletin board project, and made vibrant dino dot paintings. It was a truly dino-mite week!
Did you miss out on all the prehistoric fun in Week 6? Don't stomp around in disappointment! It's not too late to sign up for upcoming weeks and discover new adventures. We can't wait to see you!
