Well, the longest day of the summer has come and gone, so the days are getting shorter, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. It seems like the season is just getting started, and what better way to celebrate sunny days and balmy evenings than with good news about our alums. Having spent, in many cases, over 9 years with these students, we feel so vested in them and delight in sharing their accomplishments and goals as they continue their educational journey and make their way to adulthood.
Honestly, this is an exciting time of year for us. First, our Mother Seton School Class of 2019 has graduated and is eager to start their next adventure. (See photo below) They graduated at the Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton on June 9. In partnership with their parents, the faculty and staff at Mother Seton School have worked to prepare them academically and spiritually to move forward into a new and challenging environment--high school! We wish them a relaxing and fun-filled summer as they catch their breath and prepare for this next step in their lives.
At the "Seniors and Sophomores" get together on May 10, we had the opportunity to catch up with the Class of 2017 and hear about all the plans for the Class of 2015.
Below you can see what our high school seniors are planning for the next phase of their lives. We couldn't be more proud of and happy for them, and you can see why!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Sr. Brenda Monahan, MSS Principal, for all of her dedication and support, not only to the current students of MSS, but to so many alumni that have been blessed to work with her in order to continue to promote our MSS legacy. We wish her the best and hope she can come back and visit! Dr. Kathleen Kilty, our first lay principal, will begin on July 1. Welcome, Dr. Kilty!
Congratulations to all of you! And if we've missed anyone's good news, please share it with us and we'll include it in the next E-News.
