getting ready

go wildcats!

At their last home game on Friday, February 11th, the Carolina Day School girls basketball team held a raffle to benefit St. Gerard House and the Grotto Preschool. The girls planned and organized the whole thing, and even invited some of our students to help them draw the raffle. They raised $100 for St. Gerard House. Thanks, girls! Good luck in the state tournament - Go Wildcats!

check out the custom made shirts!

It's been an exciting week at the Grotto already! On Monday, Della Dog visited us:

And then today in art, we worked on handprint t-shirts for the 

Carolina Day School girls' basketball team to wear at this Friday's home game. 

They are holding a raffle at the game to raise money for the Grotto!

The ice won't keep us away!

On Friday, we ventured out of our warm, cozy house to tour the new building down the street. The weather was cold and dreary, but that didn't bring down our spirits! Ken gave us a grand tour of the building:
