I've been totally remiss in sending out the E-News in the last 6 months, due to a variety of reasons. But I'm back on board and having some catching up to do with our alumni and their activities and accomplishments. Perhaps some of this news is a little late in getting to you, but it's definitely worthy of note.
May you all experience the blessings of the Christmas Season, and enjoy the company of your family and friends as you celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

Dominic Nield '13
Dominic Nield (MSS 2013) showed a generosity of spirit that made a little girl's life a lot happier. On August 5, Dominic's Boy Scout Troop was participating in Thurmont's National Night Out, demonstrating knot tying skills and exhibiting their newly-built go-cart. In a raffle that was held, Dominic won a new bike. Dominic asked around to see if there was a child who needed a new bike, and 10 year old Samantha Cregger became the recipient of his generosity!
