Warm greetings PMA friends and family,
Spring will soon be here, at least according to the calendar. What a winter it has been! Here's to hoping that with the arrival of Day Light Savings Time, we will see warmer weather and the melting of snow before spring track and field season begins!
As usual, there is so much going on on our campus. Take a look at some of our happenings in this edition of Presentation of Mary Academy ePathways!

2nd Annual Alumni Basketball Game
On Sunday, March 8, 2015 PMA alumni took on PMA's varsity Panthers in the Second Annual Alumni Basketball game to benefit the Cathy Habeeb Shaheen, '87 Memorial Scholarship. The event was organized by the family, classmates, and friends of Cathy. Thirteen alumni returned for some March madness. While the students claimed victory (27-22) and bragging rights over the alumni, all had a great time and raised over $1,5000 for a great cause. If you were not able to attend but would like to contribute, please contact Paula Mansor-Laliberte, '82. A special "thank you" to Diane Cormier Martin, '86 for organizing this new PMA tradition, and to all the alumni players: Leah Gerst Pinette, '89, Katlyne Britner, '14, Stephanie Sabando, '06, Melissa Michaud Chirwa, '01, Lauren Mucci, '06, Cat Violette DeSabella, '83, Krista Butland Paduchowski, '02, Maureen Wilson Leal, '94, Katie Dickman,'03, Chanelle Garcia, '14, Rose Maria DiFiore Redman, '85, and Sandra Altovino, '06.
