This week our 8th grade students will participate in a reflection ceremony. It is a time for them to reflect on their years at St. Clare as they prepare to leave us in June. This week may we think of them as we continue to celebrate the centennial year of our parish growing in faith, serving with compassion, and building a loving community.
Thank you to everyone’s hard work to make our Open House and other Catholic Schools Week activities a huge success. We appreciate Mrs. Bongiorni, Mrs. Napolitano, Mrs. John, the Bianco Family, our teachers and staff for making this a wonderful week for our students. A special thank you to Mrs. Contino, Mrs. Abruzzo, Mrs. Gardella, Mrs. Delgado and our maintenance staff for going above and beyond to make everything run smoothly.
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students were inspired by the presentation given by the Tunnel to Towers team that visited: Firefighter Tom Petty, St. Clare Alumnus Matthew Bocchino, and Ms. LaurenAnn Barbarino. Your generous donations enabled us to collect over $1,700 for the Foundation.
Our students did a wonderful job at the Talent Show on Friday night! Thank you to Mrs. Bonavita for organizing the event. Thanks also to Mrs. Bannon, Mrs. Carpenito, Mrs. Newell, Mrs. Sheehan, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Romano, Mr. Vallejo, Mr. Costelo, Mrs. Napolitano, Mrs. Bongiorni, St. Clare alumnus Christina Powers, 8th grade student Avery Casciani, and the other parent volunteers who helped to make the night a huge success! We were happy to see so many of our faculty members and our clergy in attendance!
