Principal's Message - Mar. 16th

Happy Wednesday!


We had a wonderful event last Saturday night. The Crab Feed was fantastic and we raised quite a bit of money (amount to be announced soon) to support our students through tuition assistance and instructional materials. Probably the best part of the event, though, was the unbelievable level of parent involvement in making this such a success! I can't ever remember so many parents being involved in putting the Crab Feed and Auction together. The Crab Feed Committee, which met for months, did an incredible job procuring items, lining up the space, decorating, getting the food together, and so much more. A special thanks goes to: Sarah McKinney, Shanan O'Driscoll, Gina Cole, Janet LePore, Jillian Sibblies, Valerie Pettit, Carrie Hernandez, Jamie Chaloner, Ken Clifton, Jeff Klein, and Jeff Smith. Beyond that, we had parents logging auction items, meeting Friday night to drive things over to Holy Cross, setting up the space, and working the event on Saturday night. THANK YOU to everyone who made this such a successful event. Our amazing community is one of the things that is so special about our school and we appreciate you!


Have a wonderful week!
