Morning Arrival - Parking Lot Safety
Due to the continued cutting through of cars in the middle of the parking spots, we ask that for morning drop off, all students enter the building through the blue doors closest to the gym.
The middle blue doors will be locked. If you are dropping off your daughter in the morning, PLEASE pull up to the furthermost doors where she can enter the building, and loop around to the next lane to exit the parking lot. We have had numerous close calls where cars that were cutting through spots barely missed colliding with other cars or with faculty who were exiting their cars. Thank you for your cooperation.

Canned Goods Food Collection
Once again this year we will be participating in the Hibernian Hunger Food Drive to collect canned goods and other non-perishable food products to help families in need. The food is donated to 10 local community food cupboards and programs in the Philadelphia area. Last year we collected almost 130 pounds of food to help support the Holy Redeemer Food Pantry. Support a great cause by dropping off items in the collection bins in the Basil lobby. The collection will run through the end of March.
