A heartfelt thank you to DeSales alumna Carol Palisano Silva, SJA '54 and her late husband, Richard, whose generous donation allowed us to purchase new Spanish textbooks for our 8th grade students!

Thanks to Carol and Richard’s generosity, our students now have updated resources to support their daily learning, strengthen their language skills, and help prepare them for continued success in Spanish beyond DeSales.

Their gift is an investment not only in new textbooks, but in the education and future opportunities of our students. We are incredibly grateful!

It was great seeing so many faces last night at our first HSA Meeting! We appreciate all the help we have already received on this year's Trunk or Treat plans. We are in need of someone to help plan and run a couple games, and also someone to help plan and organize turning the basketball courts into a Haunted Houses for the little ones! If you or anyone you know may be interested, please contact Nicole Dembowski at nconvad@gmail.com by Monday September 21st.

Thank you,

Nicole Dembowski
