From the Desk of the Principal

Dear Bishop Family,

This week, I attended the Florida Catholic Conference (FCC) Administrators’ Conference in Clearwater. It was a great conference that allowed professional development and collaboration among all principals within the seven diocesan school districts in the state of Florida. It was truly an amazing experience. I am grateful I was able to attend and gain tools to aid my success as your principal.

I would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Please enjoy your holiday break with your nuclear family, extended family, and friends. Please have fun and be safe! Classes will resume on Monday, November 27, 2023, and the BMCHS Newsletter will resume on Friday, December 1, 2023.



Please welcome Sister Sherly Vazhappilly, FSSE, to our campus. Sr. Sherly is the Vicar for Religious and Associate Director for Vocations in the Diocese of St. Petersburg. She will be working on campus when she is not at the Pastoral Center. She was so happy to see some of her former students from

St. Anthony Catholic School.

Take care and create peace, 

Ms. Jenalisa Zummo

Principal 

Let's Play Chess

The instruction is “Black to move

and win”.

The author of this puzzle is Liam Harrington '24.

In chess language, this refers to gaining an easily winning position, not necessary finishing the game.

The theme for this puzzle is revealed checks and pawn promotion.)

“The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of chess.” - Unknown
