Catholic Schools Week

This week we celebrate the importance of our Catholic faith and how our Catholic school identity makes us uniquely stronger as a community.  The theme and logo as determined by the NCEA is: Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community. 

New this year:  GMA will have a student BIngo contest (with prizes!) for the activities and service during the week. 

  • One winner per grade will be drawn from the names of students who achieved Bingo on their card that week!
  • The grade with the highest percentage of completed bingo cards will get a free dress-down day!! 

Each student will be able to complete many of the items on the Bingo card during the week with their class so they all get a boost to play and win.  These include the CSW reflections, letters of gratitude, contributions to dress down day, and the service project for that week.  In light of the Sisters of Mercy Critical Concern of Non-Violence and Women, as well as National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we will support A Baby’s Breath, a local pregnancy resource center.
