Athletic Boosters Awards Scholarships
|
The Guardian Angels Athletic Program strives to provide a positive sports experience, while teaching the fundamentals of each sport and preparing children for high school athletic programs. The GA Booster Board is dedicated to providing the best possible athletic program for the children of our parish.
This spring, the Athletic Boosters awarded two $1,500 non-renewable scholarships to one male and one female to help with the costs of a Catholic high school education.
Applicants submitted essays that highlighted how grade school sports participation prepared them for the challenges he or she anticipates in high school. The winning essays illustrated how participation in sports laid the foundation for continued faith development, academic effort, leadership development, and service learning.
Congratulations to Miss Caroline Monahan and Mr. Joseph Waldeck who were awarded this year’s Athletic Boosters Scholarships. Miss Monahan will attend McNicholas High School in the fall, and Mr. Waldeck will attend St. Xavier High School.
