Several topics to touch on briefly as we head into Spring Break!

 

*This weekend many of you will be leaving on family vacations or sending your child off with friends to enjoy their time away from the rigors of academia. We pray that everyone has a safe and restful break. We also pray that parents have had or are having serious conversations with their teens about Spring Break and all that is presumed to go along with it.  (more...

Guerin Catholic Garden Club

The next meeting of the Guerin Garden Club will be Thursday, April 5, at 3:30 PM in Miss Wassell's room.

We would like to take a moment to thank those who have assisted us thus far in making this project move forward: Indy Distributors, Heartland Growers, Perennials Plus, at least one anonymous and Sundown Gardens. These donors have provided cash, product and/or services to help our cause. A special Thank You goes out to Sundown Gardens for tilling our land in preparation for planting. If you use their products and services, tell them thank you next time you are in there. If you haven't used them, please consider it.

Please keep our Garden Club in mind as you and your neighbors begin the annual event of spring cleaning. We are in need of garden tools of all types, gloves, tomato cages, and other garden related articles. If you no longer need or use these items, we would be glad to put them to use.   The more we can get from donations, the less we have to purchase.

If you own or work for a business that is garden or outdoor related and would like to be involved with our project, please contact Tod Boise at 440.221.3248 or tod@smithindustrialgroup.com.

lLaptop Reimaging Information

As you are all aware, we will begin imaging student laptops starting next month (April, 2012).  This new image is significantly different in design, and needs some explanation to be discussed between parent and student.  PLEASE read the attached letter carefully, then sit down with your student(s) and go over it together.  It is important that they understand the changes that will occur.

swServe with Love  

Just a reminder that your student has until May 7, to enter 18 Parish/Church hours and 12 Guerin Catholic/Community hours into Campus Ministry's database. Failure to accomplish this will result in your student being pulled from all extra-curricular activities and sports teams until they have finished the requirements. 

In addition, Seniors who have not finished 30 hours for each year they have been a student at Guerin Catholic will not be eligible to graduate until they have met that requirement. For more information, you can see page 22 of the student handbook. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter! 

As a reminder, service opportunities for Guerin Catholic students can be found at http://fs2.guerincatholic.org/groups/campusministry/
