On Wednesday, Garces celebrated Ash Wednesday with a special Mass celebrated by Garces Rector, Msgr. Perry Kavookjian.  Msgr. Perry shared with the students that this year Garces is celebrating Lent with J.O.Y. - Jesus, Others, Yourself.  Msgr. Perry asked students, faculty and staff to put Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last.  He asked that they pray to Jesus daily, to do for Others through service or tithing to those in need, and for themselves - to make Lenten sacrifices. 

We hope you will join us in our Lenten Season of J.O.Y.

The Garces Band put on a fabulous Jazz Concert Thursday night.  They held an informal concert in the Art of Music building on campus and the room was packed. The program included 14 jazz numbers with four soloists performing; Joseph Berchtold on saxophone, Alexandra Moreno on clarinet, Evan Smith on baritone, and Kim Briggs on flute. It was a really special night on our campus.  It was wonderful to see all the long hours of practice, dedication and commitment by the students, Mr. Smith, Mr. Ortega, and off-campus music volunteers result in a truly exceptional concert.  Next up is the Dinner Concert on March 23rd in MLH.  Tickets are available at the front desk or you can contact Band Director, Scott Smith.  

Congratulations to Garces Ram Michael Barnett! Michael was selected to play in the Kern County Cream of the Crop Senior All-Star Basketball game. The game is on Saturday, March 18th at Bakersfield College at 7:00 PM. 

Congratulations to Garces freshman golfer Maverick Pavletich! On Wednesday, March 1st, Maverick won the Valley Cup at Rio Bravo CC.  The Valley Cup is a great win for Maverick as each school only sends their number one golfer to play. Pictured are Garces Boys Golf Coach Armando Robles and Maverick. 

A big "shout out" to Garces junior Moises Gonzalez!  On Thursday, March 2nd,  Community Action Partnership of  Kern (CAPK) celebrated Read Across America Day at their Head Start Centers. Moises volunteered his time early Thursday morning to read to a group of pre-schoolers at the Seibert Head Start Center.  Moises is pictured with the students he read to and the Executive Director of CAPK, Jeremy Tobias. Nice job Moises!  

Congratulations to Garces Ram Wrestler Isaiah Martin who finished 6th in the 182 Weight Class at the Central Valley Masters last weekend!  His 6th place finish qualified him to wrestle in the CIF State Championships this weekend at Rabobank. Good luck Isaiah!

Still have Parent Service Involvement hours you need to complete?  A contribution to The Garces Fund can help you fulfill that 20 hour requirement.  For every $15 contributed, you receive one PSI hour.

Remember all Parent Service Involvement hours are due by March 15th.  If you have not completed your required 20 hours of service for this year, timers are needed for swim meets.  You can contact Joan Finch for times and locations.  

For families who have not fulfilled their 20 hours of service your April Smart Tuition bill will reflect the # of hours x $15.   Remember, if you make a contribution to the Garces Fund to cover the amount due, it is considered a charitable contribution.  

Contact Tonya Abbott with any questions regarding your PSI balance.
