Tech and Girls is the Way 2 Go!

Dear Friends...
November has arrived, and has brought the traditional "If the weather changes every day, you must be in New England" surprises with it!  

We have begun our Salt & Light theme for the month: Gratitude With An Attitude, and are hoping to help raise the awareness of everyone at the Academy in regard to what they are receiving from others.  What do we receive (small and and large "gifts") from others that impact our lives every day?  So far, so good!

So, this "STEM" business...exactly, what is it?  Simply, it is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.  Traditionally, these areas have been challenges when seeking equal educational opportunities for girls and young women.  At the Academy of the Holy Family, we work to consistently develop these areas for our students, and we do this by offering a strong curriculum in each of the categories, as well as by providing valid, co-curricular activities to support them.  

In an effort to continue this work, we have begun a fundraising campaign through Indiegogo, and we are calling it Tech and Girls is the Way 2 Go!  We invite you to visit our page to read the description of our campaign.  While you're there, check out the "perks" that we are offering to our donors.  They range from a lovely package of notecards that feature full-color photos of landmarks at the Academy of the Holy Family to a five-course gourmet dinner for four!  There is also a link that you can share with others that will direct them to the page:

We ask that you pray for the success of this campaign.  If you are able to donate, we will be tremendously grateful for your support.  Please share the news with anyone you know.  The more voices we have sharing this update, the better.  At the Academy, we do our best to make sure that all of our students reach their potential: spiritually, academically, physically and socially.  Thank you for your interest in our ministry of Catholic education!

Long weekend?  Yes, indeed!  Most importantly, it is a long weekend for us because of those who have served or are presently serving in the U.S. military.  We remember them in our prayers, as we continue to pray for peace in our world.  

Have a blessed day!
Mrs. T
