Many Thanks!
A HUGE thank you to all of the hard working volunteers who helped organize and shelve over 5,000 books in our new library! These amazing parents unpacked 105 boxes in just one day which helped the Ursuline Center open on time for the anxiously awaiting students. I especially want to recognize the dedication and efforts of Katie Brunick, Tricia Doherty, Maureen Healy, Carol Ford, Diane Risch, Amy Lee, Jess Nowicki, Meg Nelligan, Justine Scatton, Mr. and Mrs. Carvajal, Brigid Anderson, Trish McGovern, and Erin Zimmer for all of their help in the big move! We couldn’t have done it without you!
