Dear Parents and Students,
Congratulations to ND's Drama Club for their riveting presentation of
Chamber Music by Arthur Kopit. Huge thanks to Fr. Drance, the Drama Club Moderator and Magis Theatre for all their help with the production. Kudos to student director Stephanie Liz and Stage Manager Jessica Graue! And, of course, thanks to the vital tech crew, Victoria Barrett and Deirdre O'Donell.
Sincere thanks to our fearless prom chaperones, Ms Bixenman, Ms. Clarke, Ms. Donose, Dr. Dooley, Mr. Lejano, Mr. McDonald, Ms. McGinniss, Ms. Narayanan, Ms. Null, and Ms. Vella. By all reports, the Class of 2016 had a lovely evening. Next up, Graduation!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember all the men and women who have sacrificed for our country, and also a time to welcome the unofficial start of summer.
My best,
Jackie Brilliant
Principal
