Easter Prayer

How will you Celebrate Easter?

 

Will you rush to eat the bunny's ears after having given up chocolate for Lent?

 

Will you search for colored eggs or Easter baskets?

 

Will you contemplate the sacrifice that God our Father made by giving up His only Son?

 

Will you recall Mary's heartbreaking sacrifice?

 

Will you reflect on Jesus' selfless sacrifice?

 

They all endured unimaginable pain for us

to be able to live forever in the glory of God's Kingdom.

 

How will you celebrate Easter?

 

My best to all of you during this season of rebirth,

 

Mrs. Tyhurst

Season Wrap Up-

Softball   

Our Regal Gryphons opened league play with a victory over Marlborough.  They recently lost a tough game at Ramona Convent, but they will come back strong after Easter break to play three straight games. Freshman Dylan Boada, Senior Halie Times have been stellar pitchers.

Swim   

The team is already turning in strong times from Mary Kate Reid, Isabelle Alario and Claire Gunderman.  The Varsity posted its first win over Marymount in quite some time.  Tough losses to Immaculate Heart and Marlborough have the team flirting with second place as they prepare for the final push before prelims.  

 


Track 

Most of the league competition is forthcoming; however the team posted an impressive 4th place finish at the ASICS Irvine Track Invitational in early March.  Strong performances from Ugo Ogbunamiri, Dayna Grundy, Francesca Caruncho, Tahara Sandfield and Torrie Mitchell ensured the win.
