With the nice weather, comes time for planting gardens & buying flowers.
We have partnered with Linder's Garden Center and Flower Marts (all locations) for an easy spring fundraiser!

By bringing THIS FLYERand turning it in, Linder's will donate 15% of your pre-tax total to CRGTBA.
*You must bring the flyer with you each time you shop and there is no limit to the number of times you shop over the weekend (Just bring a new flyer each time).

If you have family and friends who shop at Linders, forward the flyer to them as well. The more people who turn in a flyer, the more successful this easy fundraiser will be.

Congratulations! 3rd grade took 1st place in their very first Spring MYAS tournament on April 7th. Great job girls, way to kick off the season! You can see photos on the pics page.

Titan Athletic/Trent Tucker All Star Hoopology
We had some Cardinals play in the second annual Hoopology event March 17th and 18th in Andover.  What a fun weekend!  The girls were split into teams by grades and were from all over the state.  Each team played in 3 games.  Varsity Photos was on hand to take team pictures.   NBA Champion Trent Tucker was there and did autographs, took pictures with the teams and with the girls individually and then ran a shooting clinic Sunday afternoon.
 
 In 7th Grade, we had Cardinals Nicki, Kenzie and Kayla playing on 7 Blue, Marina and Kaylee playing on 7 Gold.  They went head to head on Sunday! Then from 4th there was Kelsee and Sydney and from 5th Alex and Emma all playing on a combined 5 Pink team coached by Andy Porisch.  Out of the 9 Cardinals playing, 5 were nominated for MVP of their team, Kaylee, Kayla, Marina, Alex and Emma.  Kaylee and Kayla were awarded the MVP for their teams! Very cool.  You can see the pictures on our photo albums page.
