The ND Spirit

While I know that many of you are focused on next year, we can't ignore the great events we have coming up. Please consider joining us at the following events:

• Our last Lenten Community Meal is this Friday at 5:30 pm. This Friday's theme is Filipino and they'll be lumpia and pancit.
• Our last Mother-Daughter Paint night is this Saturday night in the Commons. Come to learn from Miss Jess!
• The spring musical is rounding into form. Little Shop of Horrors is going to be performed May 1st & 2nd at 7 pm.
• The May 9th Celebration is shaping up to be a great event. We've invited all alumnae, former teachers, former parents, and community members. Please spread the word, join us, and consider lending a hand for this great event. This is a free event and we'll be showcasing lots of great memorabilia and should attract over 300 people.
• The May 22nd Singer-Songwriter Fine Arts Showcase promises to be a fun event.

All three events are great opportunities to experience this great school community.

Go Spirits!

Scholarship list

This week marks our final Lenten Dinner, and we would like to take a heartfelt moment to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible community—our students, parents, staff, alumnae, and even alumnae parents. Your generosity and support, whether through helping hands, warm greetings, dedicated service, or delicious baked goods, have made these evenings truly special. We simply could not have done it without you!

Last week brought us our largest gathering yet, and it was wonderful to see so many people not only attend, but stay, connect, and enjoy the entire evening together. The joy and sense of community in the room were truly unforgettable—so much so that three of our alumni lingered until we finally had to clear their table at the end of the night!

A special thank you to Mr. Jimmy and Mike for providing such beautiful music—it added so much warmth and spirit to the evening.

As we come together one last time this season, we hope our families will join us again for a delicious meal of lumpia and pancit, and help us close out this meaningful tradition with the same joy and fellowship that has made it so memorable. It's not too late to volunteer. Sign up here.
