Congratulations to Awilda Ramirez, Class 1-103 teaching assistant, who won the school’s new slogan contest. Awilda won a $100 Amazon gift card for her entry, Growing in Faith, Learning with Love. Our principal Eugene Scanlon said, “Awilda’s slogan was perfect. It was succinct, warm and powerful. In very few words, Awilda illustrated our mission and the reason our school exists, to help our students grow in faith and learn with love. Thank you, Awilda, for your contribution.” We have already begun using Awilda’s slogan in our advertising and marketing efforts.
On Saturday, March 22, a perfect spring day, our band and cheerleaders; Ms. Guzman, our Director of Athletics; and some other staff members particpated in the annual Yonkers St. Patrick's Parade on McLean Avenue.
Students in the 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Bridge classes and the 8th Grade Honors class were visited by Molly Hollister and the Penn Station Access Project team on March 18. Ms. Hollister and her team presented information about the new Metro North Stations being built in Hunts Point, Parkchester/Van Nest, Morris Park and Co-op City. Students were attentive and engaged in seeing which group could build the sturdiest bridge.
As in prior years, our band and cheerleaders marched in the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Throggs Neck. This year, the parade was held on Sunday, March 16. Despite the wind, some staff members, and our band and cheerleaders participated.
