This last week has flown by. We celebrated the success of our 8th grade students with an awards night followed by a dinner, baccalaureate mass, and our graduation ceremony. Special thanks to our 7th grade parents and students who worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful evening after the awards night, for our graduates and their families. Supported by the PTA, Mrs. Thielmann, Mrs. Kennedy, and Mrs. Saliba taught those 7th grade students how to put on a successful party. Thank you to all other parents who assisted that evening. On Monday, our graduates came back to SPS to provide a field day for our younger students. Thank you to Ms. Pica, Mrs. Schwimmer, and Mrs. Rooney for overseeing and managing the events. The best part of the day was the teacher/ 8th grade volleyball game. With assistance from a few 7th graders, the team of teachers clearly dominated the 8th graders. The rest of the student body loudly cheered for their favorites!
Last month, before kicking of Memorial Day Weekend, we had the 26th Annual Bob Cronin Memorial Golf Outing. Each year this event helps to ensure that children in our school and parish have a positive experience with athletics in a Christ-centered environment. It was truly uplifting to hear two of our students - Leo Teti (8th grade) and Gianna Kennedy (7th grade) - speak about their personal experiences with SPAC during their time here at SPS. We are so grateful to Mr. Russell Lorring, our SPAC Athletic Director, for coordinating this event. Additionally, we are thankful for the support of all of the golfers, our sponsors, our volunteers, and our alumni. It was an excellent day filled with lots of fun, even for those of us who are once-a-year golfers!
