Senior Sunrise was Thursday morning and it was another amazing day full of blessings on our campus.  Msgr. Craig Harrison joined the students to watch the sun come up.  He shared with them some wonderful reflections about gratitude, making smart choices during their senior year, and for them to know that God loves them. He brought a special prayer card for each senior and, as a group, they prayed out loud, in unison, with one voice.  It was a special moment for the Class of 2019. A big shout out and thank you to Msgr. Harrison!  We love having him on campus. After the sun came up, the seniors moved to the parking lot and decorated their parking spots.  And a big thank you to Ms. Witwer and Mr. Cobb for organizing a wonderful event for our seniors.

Our teachers selected their service projects, the students signed up, and the first service project meeting was last week!  Each month, there is time set aside for the teachers and students to meet to plan and implement their projects.  Some have gotten off to a fast start while others are still in the collaboration and planning stages.  Everyone is excited to make a positive impact on our community and to share our compassion with others in most need.  

On Tuesday, the "Ewe Can Too" Service Project began making blankets for premature babies who are in the NICUs at Valley Children's Hospital and in the Lauren Small Children's Center at Memorial Hospital.  The "Love Bags" Service Project also met.  The students made over 150 sack lunches for the less fortunate who depend on a daily meal at the St. Vincent de Paul Center. The Love Bags are made possible by the generosity of our parents who provide the supplies and transport the Love Bags to SVDP. 

Look for more service project updates in future newsletters.

Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket for the Parent Club's Marys' Dinner.  It was a big success and all the ladies had a great time at Wool Grower's Restaurant. Everyone enjoyed great company and several ladies won door prizes - which always adds to the fun. We made over $10,000 and all the funds will go towards paying for the much needed Student Store remodel - which is almost done.  

Please stop by the Student Store the next time you are on campus to see how nice it looks. Mr. Geissel will also have it open from 5:00 - 6:15 PM during Back to School Night on Monday.  If the item you want is not in stock, he will gladly take custom orders so you can have the Garces gear you want to wear to support the school. 

To reserve  your seat, please contact Lou Ann Durrett at ldurrett@garces.org or (661) 327-2578 ext. 129.
