Principal...continued from Page 1As I mentioned, each school year alsobrings its own new excitement and nothinghas changed to temper this excitement,as all classes are exceeding expectationsacademically and spiritually. When youget the opportunity please take a minuteto welcome our new/old faculty this year,our own Hometown Sports celebrity GregKerr and Anne Styles who makes her returnto <strong>Garces</strong> from Tennessee. Your studentscontinue to perform exceptionally well intheir academics and lead by example intheir many and varied community serviceprojects. On behalf of <strong>Garces</strong>, I want tocontinue to assure you that we will continueto work to provide you, the parents, notonly the very best Catholic education foryour sons and daughters, but the finestoverall education that any school, private orpublic, can offer in both a safe and caringenvironment.Put your hands up in the air!Cause we’re the best around,and we show it!Yeah, yeah, you know it!I have often been accused of being acheerleader for <strong>Garces</strong>, and how better torecognize the spirit and very vocal supportshown by all our students and our parentsand fans at all our many extracurricularevents, both at home and away. In lookingup in both the home and visitor’s stands andlistening to the crowds at San Luis Obispoand even at that other school in downtownBakersfield who claims to also have anoutstanding football team, it was hard to tellwho were the visitors and who was the hometeam. However, Sam Tobias Field has notstopped rocking and all those lucky enoughto be present will long remember the StudentDanger Zone who help bring down the houseat each contest, including this year’s HolyBowl pep rally and games. As you’ve heardme say before it is your positive involvementand participation that continues to causewell deserved envy among every school weparticipate against. Myka Peck, Bill Potterand Lela Steiber and our coaches and manyvolunteers have all worked especially hardbehind the scenes to help make it happen andthey deserve our show of thanks for a jobdone “best”. As I like to remind them, eachcoach and volunteer has earned significanthours off purgatory for their commitment.I was taught as a child at home and alsoby the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sistersin grammar school that “A family thatprays together stays together”. To furtherpromote our overall school spirituality andspirit, the <strong>Garces</strong> community will meet inthe quad to open each “White” school daywith prayer, announcements and promotionof school spirit. At this time we will alsorecognize and share our many studentaccomplishments as they occur throughoutthe year. Please reference the RAMS“Rally and Mass schedule” on Page 8 of thestudent handbook as we will also hold anadditional All <strong>School</strong> Mass each month toprovide another opportunity to pray togetheras a <strong>Garces</strong> family.
