10 Asheville Catholic School Shamrock Run Benefi ng the O Brien and William Edward Gibbs Memorial Scholarship Fund Leaving a legacy. The annual Asheville Catholic School Shamrock 5K/10k/Fun Run always marks a special day on our calendar as we welcome runners from across the area to our campus and raise money for important programs. This year, the event has a new legacy. At Asheville Catholic School we look at our work as a way for us to leave a legacy for the future by preparing our students to grow to become ci zens of our world who are change makers that make the world a be er place. That s the legacy we want them to leave. This year s Shamrock Run is an opportunity for us to expand the legacy that William Edward, and O Brien Gibbs have le a er their recent passing. William Edward and O Brien loved freely, and accepted others without condi on. One of our goals at Asheville Catholic School is to accept any student who has a desire for a strong, faith based educa on. An important way we do this is through scholarships and tui on assistance. Our efforts in these areas, however, need funding. The 2018 Shamrock Run will help us provide a loving and accep ng environment to more students, just as William Edward and O Brien would have wanted. All funds raised from this year s race will go towards the William Edward and O Brien Gibbs Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund is being established to carry on the example that these boys set for all of us. That is, to love and accept others. It is our sincere hope that this race con nues to bring joy to the lives of the par cipants, and the students at Asheville Catholic School as they benefit from your par cipa on and generosity. Here is how you can help: Sponsor: Contribute money to help this race happen and get publicity for your business. For more informa on ashevillecatholicshamrockrun@gmail.com. Donate: Donate a gi cer ficate to be used as a door prize or for a race prize. For more informa on ashevillecatholicshamrockrun@gmail.com. Run: Sign up to run the race. There is something for everyone: Fun Run, 5K, or 10K! h p://gloryhoundevents.com/event/shamrock 5k10k/ or through Imathlete.com Volunteer: Sign up to volunteer for the race. With mul ple races going on, there are a lot of needs: course marshals, port a po y decorators, beer distributors, and much more! h p://signup.com/go/rziuezf From January 28 February 3, Asheville Catholic School will join Catholic Schools across the na on to celebrate the prosperity of Catholic Schools and the benefits of Catholic Educa on on our na on during Catholic Schools Week. The na onal theme is Catholic Schools: Communi es of Faith, Knowledge and Service, a mantra that corresponds with ACS s guiding philosophy known as 7 x 7 which integrates Stephen Covey s 7 Habits of Highly Effec ve People and the 7 Virtues of our Catholic Faith. This week gives us a chance to honor our students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff for their dedica on to Catholic educa on. ACS serves grades Pre K through 8 th in an educa onal se ng that is in mate, rigorous, and relevant to people of all faiths. Students are engaged in the classroom and in the community with organiza ons such as Manna Food Bank, Catholic Chari es, Brother Wolf, and many others.
