This week, our middle school French students did the morning announcements! They shared the weather for the day in both English and in French. We were so impressed by their pronunciation and vocabulary!

Mr. Jerry Holmes, our PreK-8 Physical Education teacher, attended the National SHAPE America Conference and Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, last week to learn more about Physical Education pedagogy and practices. He attended presentations and workshops with other Physical Education teachers from across the country. Thank you, Mr. Holmes, for caring for and educating our students! Save the date for our Field Day on Monday, June 2nd, onsite at Larz Anderson Park for students in Grades PreK-8. There will be details coming soon for chaperones and volunteers.

Ms. Emily Tigges, our PreK-8 Drama teacher and PreK-2 Music teacher, recently performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City! Ms. Tigges traveled with the St. John's University and College of St. Benedict combined choirs to sing a Baroque set, including Vivaldi's Magnificat, Handel's Two Coronation Anthems, and Bach's Sanctus. St. John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota is where Ms. Tigges is currently pursuing her Masters degree in Liturgical Music. The choir had two days full of rehearsals before performing with the New England Symphonic Ensemble last weekend. We are so glad to have such a talented artist as part of our community. Thank you, Ms. Tigges, for educating our students in music and drama!

Monday night was a special night for our St. Mary’s community at Fenway Park! Three of our St. Mary’s students, Cristina, Mia, and Kornelia, performed the national anthem in the Voices Boston Children’s Choir! Our very own Bert Almeida was also honored on the field for all that he does to support our school! It was so nice to see all of the St. Mary’s students and families that came out to support.

Our faculty and staff had an early Easter celebration this week with an egg hunt and a breakfast all together before the school day! It was a wonderful way to spend time together.

On Friday afternoon, students from Grades K2 through 8 participated in Stations of the Cross with Father David, facilitated by our middle school students. Mr. Lynch accompanied on the organ as candle bearers and one crucifix bearer followed Father David to each station around the Church. Student lectors commented on each station from the lectern, and students in the pews participated by praying the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be after each station. All statues and crucifixes were reverently covered during this Passiontide with purple cloths in anticipation of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful way to end this last full week of school before Holy Week.
