Mother Catherine Academy students challenged local state and county police departments to a game of basketball, and the officers accepted! Youโ€™re invited to watch the game on Sunday, March 19, from noon to 4 p.m. in the school gymnasium. The event, which includes a host of other activities in addition to the game, will be ticketed; seats are limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. See mothercatherine.org, call 301-884-3165, or email mcartofgiving@gmail.com.

All proceeds will be donated to the family of Nolan Scully. This is the MCAโ€™s second annual Local Heroes Project โ€“ a new program implemented by Mother Catherine Academy last year designed to teach students the virtue of charity.

โ€œThe Art of Giving program embodies giving back to oneโ€™s community, and we are ecstatic Mother Catherine Academy selected us, the St. Maryโ€™s County Sheriffโ€™s Office to participate. Our deputies are looking forward to connecting with the students while honoring our local hero, Nolan Scully.โ€ said Sheriff Tim Cameron.
