Shower
Liz Fitzgerald, Director of Community Impact for the United Way of Greater Nashua, picked up all the donations to the Community Baby Shower this week. She had to find a little extra room in her car to fit the many boxes. Thank you, NC families, for your outstanding generosity!
NC collected $125 during our Lenten "Operation Rice Bowl" drive. Those funds were mailed to Catholic Relief Services over the break. Again, our thanks to all who helped with this effort.

Athletics
Spring is finally in full swing! April certainly did bring its fair share of showers, but now we hope for the beautiful May flowers, and most importantly, we are hopeful of some dry fields!
The Nashua Catholic baseball and softball teams are ready to get back on the fields and get some more games in. With the rain and scheduling issues, both teams have only had 2 games to this point. The softball team has their first win under their belt, and is looking for many more in the coming weeks. Baseball is working hard on their mechanics and looking forward to getting their first win of the season.
Track and field has only competed in one meet to this point, but the team looks strong. “Our runners have been gaining ground and improving on their times since the first practice,” said head coach Theresa Andolina. In the field events, Nashua Catholic has been making big waves in meets, with several athletes on the cusp of qualifying for the state meet already.
Last, but not least, our Nashua Catholic golfers are looking to better their second place finish from last year and make a run for a Tri-County Championship in 2018. “We have some legitimate golfers on this team. I think if we keep working hard, we are going to be a real force in the end of the season tournament,” said head coach Mike Salzman.
Golf Tournament
Calling all golfers! Mark your calendars for the 14
th
Annual Nashua Catholic Golf Tournament which will be taking place on
Monday, July 30
th
at Amherst Country Club. It was a great turnout for our tournament last year, and we are hoping to build off that and provide another excellent day on the course! “The only thing that could have made this day better would have been if my golf ball stayed out of the woods” said Athletic Director, Ryan Farris, after the 2017 tournament.
Registrations for foursomes and individual golfers will be opening up at the end of the month. Get your groups together and start planning for a day of fun golf, great people, and even better memories!
Go Wildcats!
