stantly working through all of salva on history to
form a rela onship with us that helps us realize the
tremendous gi we are in his plan. The gi of Jesus
Christ to us revealed the tremendous investment of
God to us as his only-bego en Son gave all for us
through death and into eternal life. The Spirit connues to shape us as it works within us. Jesus refers to himself as the Good Shepherd that gives of
himself totally, not for a paycheck, but because of
love for us. Our call is to imitate this unselfish and
total love through our commitment to a life of holiness and in service to others. May the investment
of God in us reap dividends for our salva on and
may our investment in our faith and in service to
others reap dividends beyond our imagining.
Saint Benedict, pray for us!

From the Counseling Department:

to discuss your op ons. The counseling department also requires all students to submit their financial aid award le ers
from every college they were accepted and any addi onal
scholarship awards your son received. This data helps students of future genera ons as well as allowing him to evaluate
the strength of the college program at Benedic ne. Please
email the award le ers to [email protected] or have your
son bring them to the counseling department to make copies.
College Credit Plus Informa on:
All students in the CCP program received a packet of
informa on on Friday, April 24, 2015. Within that
packet there are instruc ons on how to fill out the
applica on to Notre Dame College. Also there are 2
forms that need parental signatures. These forms
must be returned to school by Friday, May 1, 2015.
What is a Night at the Races?
A Night at the Races is the closest thing to being at an actual race track without being there. Included in the cket price, you will receive dinner, several
varie es of bo les beer, wine, so beverages and, of course, the races and
live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby.
Just before the start of each race, the be ng windows open for you to place
your wager. If your horse wins, you receive a payout based on the amount
wagered during the race.
Races are on DVD and are projected on the big screen for all to see. A live
race announcer will enthusias cally call each race.
This year, there will be a total of 12 races, 10 regular, 1 auc on and—of
course—the Kentucky Derby, along with a Daily Double and Trifecta Race
(see explana ons below). Each race will consist of 12 horses. All horses will
be available for sponsorship (first come, first served) and you as the “owner”
will have the right to name your horse and to collect a percentage of any
winnings.
The Auc on Race is the very last race of the evening. Usually groups of people combine resources to bid for horse sponsorship. The winning owners
split the pot with the house 50/50.
Trifecta is a bet in which the person making the wager forecasts the first
three finishers in the race in the correct order.
Daily Double is a single bet on the winners of two named races in a day.
Hat Contest: Wearing a hat to the Kentucky Derby is believe to be good
luck! Wearing a hat is much like ge ng into costume, you might be pleasantly surprised to see what type of character you become. There are no
rules or limits, it’s free to par cipate, and you could win a cash prize as a result!
When you name your horse, you are encouraged to be as crea ve and clever
as possible. Some examples are: Hoof hearted, Phil McCrackin, Ben Dover,
etc. Say these fast and you should get the idea!
So please join us for a night of fun, food, dancing, music and good company.
And remember, all proceeds go directly back into the school. Have fun and
good luck!
