The fifth annual Lennon Loop 5K/10K/1 mile family fun walk on July 22nd gave us a chance to come together this summer to celebrate and remember our beloved teacher, coach, colleague, and friend, Bob Lennon. While the weather threatened to make a soggy race day for the Lennon Loop, it turned out to be a wonderful morning to run! The Lennon Loop helps to fund four $1500 scholarships (awarded annually) in Bob's honor. This years' scholarship winners include: Isabella Marino, Becca Roberts, Isabelle Bangert, and Tamzyn Ordonez. Special thanks to all the race participants this year - over 470 people came out to share a beautiful day, cheer each other on, and share a story or two about Mr. Lennon.

Daily Reflection
O Holy Ghost, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to Thee my understanding, my heart and my will, my whole being for time and for eternity. May my understanding be always obedient to Thy heavenly inspirations and the teachings of the holy Catholic Church, of which Thou art the infallible Guide; may my heart be ever inflamed with love of God and of my neighbor; may my will be ever conformed to the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful following of the life and virtues of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and Thee be honor and glory for ever. Amen.
