Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6 Spring 2014 LEVELS OF GIVING GRIMES ANNUAL FUND THE BISHOP’S CIRCLE $5,000+ To the Bishop Grimes Community: PRINCIPAL’S CLUB $5,000 — $2,501 As one of the students who attend Bishop Grimes, I have learned how important the Annual Fund is to my academic success and Catholic Faith. MSGR. SHEEHAN SOCIETY $2,500 — $1,001 As I pass by the classrooms each day, I see the school making many positive improvements. For example, because of the Annual Fund, the chapel has been renovated, making it extremely inviting. In addition, many technological updates and improvements have been made to the school’s infrastructure which now supports many technological advances. The introduction of these improvements create a learning environment that goes well beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. The educational value will lead to fundamental changes in our learning as well as we will now be able to access information instantaneously, develop creative thinking through interactive strategies, and engage us in learning. There is no doubt in my mind that the Annual Fund contributions helped the school keep pace with these technology changes. The Annual Fund also supports student tuition scholarships which are very important to many of the students who attend Bishop Grimes. Many of my friends are very appreciative of the scholarships that they have received from Bishop Grimes. If scholarships were not available, many of my friends would not be able to afford the full tuition costs.

UNITED WAY LEAVE A LEGACY BEQUEST ENDOWMENT When I graduate and go off to college, I plan to support the Grimes Annual Fund to ensure the future of Bishop Grimes. I am convinced that every gift is important to the Fund—no matter if it is $10 or $1,000. Every contribution will have a tremendous impact on the lives of all Bishop Grimes students.

REMEMBERING SOMEONE IN A SPECIAL WAY Bishop Grimes invites you to participate in our Memorial Bench Program. The program provides an opportunity to commemorate an alumni or a loved one with the placement of a bench that enhances the Bishop Grimes campus. A memorial bench is a popular way to remember and pay tribute to an alumni or loved one. What better way to pay tribute to a fellow classmate. To participate in the Grimes Memorial Bench Program, a fee of $1,000 will be charged for each bench. This fee covers the cost of the bench, delivery, installation, and a commemorative plaque. If a donor wishes, a card of acknowledgement will be sent to the recipient’s family advising that their loved one has been memorialized. Each donor or class will work with the Development Office to determine the ideal location for your bench. The name of the one memorialized will be inscribed on a plaque affixed on the bench. To order a bench, please call the Development Office at (315) 314-7157. ONE CLICK, ONE MINUTE, ONE STUDENT In less than a minute, our alumni can change the life of a student! Bishop Grimes receives funding from the Syracuse Catholic Diocese and the Guardian Angels. While we certainly appreciate their appropriations, the funds represent a 13.2% allocation to our operating budget. Private giving coupled with tuition revenue and fundraising income must make up the majority of Bishop Grimes current budget. Private support from our alumni plays an increasingly significant role in the continuum of providing quality Christian education. Your support provides more than simply “extras”...it is critical for advance Bishop Grimes. Your gift translates into student tuition scholarships. In other words, your contributions provide educational opportunities that otherwise would not be available to many students. Whether you are a recent graduate or you graduated many years ago, we all have one thing in common. We want to ensure that Bishop Grimes continues to provide a quality, Catholic education. Please consider making a gift today to the Grimes Annual Fund. All donations will be acknowledged.

Thanks for being such great school ambassadors! STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS In February, the Student Council held its annual Catholic Schools Week Blood Drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross in the Sheehan Gym. Student donors were treated to a donor breakfast prior to donating blood, compliments to the Student Council. Over the course of the day, over 20 students and faculty members donated blood; thereby helping over 60 people in the greater Central New York community. The American Red Cross was especially grateful as this winter supplies of blood were very low due to the poor weather conditions which caused a number of scheduled drives to be cancelled. Many thanks to all of the donors, helpers, and the American Red Cross. Seniors Travel to Albany On March 19th, Mrs. Moss and Mr. Carney and 17 seniors traveled to Albany for the New York State Catholic Conference’s Public Policy Day. While there, they met with legislators to advocate for the Catholic Diocese and participate in the lobbying process. They discussed various bills pertaining to preserving Catholic schools, women’s health, and the humane treatment of incarcerated and vulnerable New Yorkers. Academic Games On Saturday, March 29th, Bishop Grimes hosted the Annual Academic Games. The competition was offered to Catholic School students in grades K-6 throughout the area. Event categories included: Math, Science, Oratory, Drawing/Painting, Spelling, Vocal, Essay, Religion and Lego Robotics. More than 250 students participated in this year’s event. The purpose of the event is to (1) develop self-esteem and dignity through excellence in academic/cultural achievement; (2) to interact and socialize with students from neighboring Catholic schools; (3) to promote quality Catholic education; and (4) to have fun! Congratulations to all of the winners! Graduation Please note, the Baccalaureate Mass will be held at Bishop Grimes on Friday, June 13th at 6:30 p.m. Father John Canorro will be the celebrant.

HIGH SCHOOL VISIT US AT WWW.BISHOPGRIMES.ORG ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER Spring 2014 OUT AND ABOUT... SHAMROCKIN’ WITH BISHOP GRIMES On March 15th, the Student Council, faculty and staff members, and Bishop Grimes students, and families gathered together to celebrate and participate in downtown Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade. This was the tenth year that Bishop Grimes has participated in the parade and the eighth year that the school has been the official barrier carriers for the different divisions of the parade. Throughout these years, Bishop Grimes has been able to develop a great relationship with the St. Patrick’s Parade Committee who provide t-shirts, coffee, cocoa, and muffins for the banner carries each year. On behalf of Bishop Grimes, we sincerely thank each and every student/family member who participated in this year’s parade. Special thanks as well to Mr. Rockwell and all those who finally made Mr. Kinne and Student Council’s dream of having a true float in the parade a reality. As one parent commented, “Great job, everyone!! Just the best! Can’t wait for next year. Thanks for letting us be a part of it all.” - Joe Insel BG STUDENTS TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY In February, Grimes French teacher Mr. Kinne led an international trip, with the help of Spanish teacher Mrs. Bearer, to Spain, France, and Italy. Nineteen people went on the trip including students, parents, and relatives of BG community members. Despite a “snowy” start to the trip that resulted in cancelled flights and an unexpected overnight in NYC, the group made their way to sunny Barcelona for the first leg of the trip where everyone was treated to flamenco lessons. Following that, the group explored Southern France including Carcassonne, the Pone du Gard, Avignon, Aries, and Nice. One of the highlights of the trip was attending one of Nice’s carnival parades, which is like a family friend version of Mardi Gras. The travelers then made their way to Monaco, Pisa, and Florence. The trip concluded with two days in Rome and Vatican City, where the group was able to participate in a private mass right in St. Peter’s! Hollie Cartini (‘14) and “Auntie” Linda Young were given the privilege of reading the Scripture lessons during the Mass. In what proved to be a very memorable homily, the priest lovingly told the group, “I don’t speak English vey well. So, I will pray for you and I ask that you pray for me.” The trip concluded with a traditional pizza dinner and an uneventful trip home to Syracuse.

Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal alter post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans.
