March 15th - Mission Day: My Brother's Keeper: |
At Gross Catholic, we are actively working to teach and affirm the human dignity of all persons. Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world where the dignity of our brothers and sisters in Christ is often denied.
It’s hard to believe, but human trafficking is a $32 billion dollar a year industry and is the fastest growing crime in the world.
Human trafficking isn’t limited to developing countries; it exists in the United States. Our brothers and sisters are most commonly trafficked for the purpose of sexual slavery and forced labor. Even more disturbing is that perhaps one-third of all victims of human trafficking are under the age of 18.
As part of this year’s Spring Mission Day, we want to raise awareness to this awful reality and equip our students to be a part of the change. To help us do this, we’ve invited guest speakers to share their expertise on March 15th. The theme of our Mission Day is My Brother’s Keeper. Captain Jay Kirwan from the Bellevue Police Department will discuss situational awareness with our students, and Jen Tran, a Catholic school and SANE trained nurse, will discuss human trafficking.
The presentations may include language associated with domestic minor sex trafficking including terms such as pimp, sex, sexting, pornography, and drugs. The presentation will not include any graphic images associated with this industry or these terms. We will discuss the role of grooming, manipulation, and coercion. Though the subject matter is grave, we will not use scare tactics, but we will present the seriousness of being mindful of social media posts and being aware of your surroundings. All students will be advised that they are free to step out of the sessions at any time if they need a break. Our guidance counselors and Catholic Charities licensed therapists will be on stand-by if needed. Each of the two sessions is 25-minutes in length, and the rest of the day is fun-filled.
The goal of this presentation is to educate our students on this issue in a friendly and safe manner, to teach them practical ways on how to keep themselves and their friends safe from predators, and to be proactive in an emergency.

Cougar Cup Field Day:
On Wednesday, March 27, we will hold our 10th annual Cougar Cup Field Day! This is a "regular school day" in terms of school attendance, but we set this day aside for faith and community. We even invited our 50th reunion class, the class of 1974, to join us for Mass and fun.
More information will follow, but, in the meantime, please note that the "dress code" for the day is House shirt and sweat/athletic pants. If your student has misplaced or outgrown his/her House shirt, a new shirt can be purchased for $12 in Campus Ministry.
