Meals would be picked up at 10:30am at LifeCare Alliance, 670 Harmon Ave. and delivered in neighborhoods throughout the city. Each route takes between 1 - 2 hours to complete.

Seventh Grade Scholarship Day is May 11
In an effort to celebrate the seventh grade students of Saint Brigid of Kildare as the next leaders of our school, the Home and School Association is pleased to announce this year's "Middle School Scholarship" open to all seventh grade students regardless of financial need or academic merit. Two (2) scholarships valued at $500 each will be awarded on June 1st at the 9:00 AM Leadership Mass. The scholarships will be applied to Saint Brigid tuition for the 2018-2019 school year. This year's scholarship competition will take place on Friday, May 11th.
Our Home and School Association is the parent run volunteer organization dedicated to supporting the mission statement of Saint Brigid of Kildare School thereby enriching the Catholic school experience for students and expressing appreciation to those committed to our school. In an effort to give back to the students, this scholarship will be awarded to two individuals who demonstrate that they embody the mission statement and represent all that Saint Brigid has given to them to become the Catholic individuals they are today as they are poised to take on the role as leaders of the school.
Students may compete either by writing an essay or by completing an interview with a panel of adults. Students will meet with Mrs. Lombardo on Friday April 20th to discuss the details of the competition and how they can prepare for "Scholarship Day." In their April 20th Friday Folders, they will receive materials about the scholarship competition to share with parents. The requirements of the program are as follows:
Requirements:
- Complete and submit "Application and Declaration Form" by May 1, 2018 to the school office, attention Mrs. Lombardo.
- Complete a written essay (1 ½ pages and up to 5 paragraphs within 90 minutes) or an oral interview (5 -10 minutes) on "Scholarship Day," Friday, May 11, 2018.
- Submit two reference forms on "Scholarship Day."
- Bring the assigned PIN number to "Scholarship Day" to include on the essay or to give to the interview panel.
It is the sincere desire of the Home and School Association that this is a rewarding experience for our seventh graders and that they learn how truly special we believe they are in the role of leaders of Saint Brigid of Kildare School.
