Congratulations to our Girls Tennis Team who went undefeated in the SWYL and won the league title.  The girls played Stockdale on Monday.  The only loss for Stockdale was to Garces during the first half of league play and the league title was on the line.  Stockdale has held the league title for 17 years in a row.  Our Lady Rams did not fold to the pressure and were able to break their streak!  The title came down to a doubles match with Olivia Muller and Alexsia Drulias and they were able to pull out a W for the team!  Team members pictured are Emily Weber, Anastasia Drulias, Adrienne Ducato, Lexi Lightner, Sabrina Ortiz, Stephanue Mercado, Giovanna Sacco, Alexsia Drulias, Bianca Burkhart, and Olivia Muller.  The girls are coached by Barb Johnson and Nathan Holmes. 

On Tuesday, the school was treated to a Cannonball and Belly Flop Contest during lunch at the pool. We had some great participants who were all great sports!  The students who participated were Ali Alsaqor, Patrick Burke, Sean Hatten, JonPaul LaFever, and Steven Roland along with faculty members Brian Cobb and Tony Daly. Our judges were faculty members Jennifer Kloock, Brian Dignan, and Mark Brown.

On Tuesday, Garces junior, Andrew Hoffman, was honored by the Kern County Board of Supervisors for his Eagle Scout Project.  Mrs. Dena Murphy,  Director  Kern County  Department of Human Services, recognized Andrew for his amazing donation to the Jamison Center.  For Andrew's Eagle Scout project, he collected 3,500 pieces of clothing for young children who are brought into the foster care system.  Many of the children only have the clothes they are wearing.  Before they can be placed with a foster family, they need a minimum of three outfits. Mrs. Murphy shared that thanks to Andrew's hard work and generosity of spirit, the Jamison Center has enough clothing to get them through the next 12-18 months.  Andrew spoke to the Supervisors and explain that he was a foster child and was blessed to go to a wonderful home and wanted to support other children in the foster care system.  Andrew thanked everyone who supported his project: his family, church, friends, and Garces High School. 

Andrew, your Garces Family is so so proud of you and the difference you are making in our community.

Congratulations to the students who have been cast in our upcoming play, "Leaving Iowa".
