CONGRATULATIONS WINTERGUARD - Congratulations to our GR Catholic WinterGuard for placing fourth in Scholastic Regional A competition this weekend at the Hudsonville Invitational!  We're very proud of our kids as they represented both the Catholic Central and West Catholic programs. In two weeks the guard will be competing at the Jenison Invitational. Be sure to congratulate our talented ladies and wish them luck! 

DISCERNMENT & DONUTS - Are you trying to sort out what God’s plan is for your life?  Please join Campus Ministry in room 201 on Wednesday March 6th at 7:15am for Discernment and Donuts.  We will be hearing from Sister Collette and Sr. Jeanne d'Arc on their vocational journey.

TECHNOLOGY DRIVE - The Esports team will be beginning their old technology drive. They will be collecting old phones, laptops, tablets, wires, and other electronics with metal in them. They can't take screens, batteries, and certain other hazardous materials. Items can be dropped off in room 405. The drive will end at the end of the week of spring break(4/5). If you have any questions email carsonbanfield@grcatholiccentral.or

VOLUNTEER NEEDED - Enjoy running? And would you also enjoy a volunteer activity that involves running? San Juan Diego Academy is looking for a volunteer for the Total Trek Quest program this Spring at the school. TTQ is a program for 3rd to 5th grade boys that teaches them to make positive life choices through running, culminating in a competitive 5K at the end of the practices. A volunteer is sought for the Tuesday afternoon practices, which run from 3:40 to 5:10 p.m., beginning March 12 and ending on May 14. (There are no practices during Spring break.) All you would need to do is run with the boys and encourage them to keep moving toward their goal. Running times range from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. There will be two trained coaches present who will be responsible for actually running practices. If you are interested, or might have questions, please contact Tom Sarb at tpsarb@gmail.com. Thank you.

SENIOR YARD SIGNS - Celebrate your graduation and show your Cougar Pride! Order your double sided yard signs, complete with H-stake for proud parents, grandparents, and other family members! Signs are also a great way to mark open house locations! Cost is $35 each and all proceeds will go to the Senior All Night Party preparations. Orders are due by March 15, 2024. Please see this FLYER for additional information and how to order. 

SANP INFO - We are excited to celebrate our Seniors at the Senior All Night Party held after graduation! Plans have been made and we look forward to a memorable night!

BLESSING OF THE DAY - May the God of Living Water bless you. May God cleanse your perspective on the world around you, removing all that is unholy. May God refresh your spirit and renew you for the sake of the Gospel. May you be submerged and saturated with a deep sense of God's profound care for you and may this awareness wash over all those you touch. May the God of Living Water bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
