This newsletter is a little longer than usual as we highlight many of the events of both February and March. With the school year almost behind us, it is a great time to pause and reflect on this wonderful upcoming season of Easter. We are especially grateful to Caroline Bode, a kindergarten student in KB on the Canal Street campus for her artwork.
The Brothers, faculty and staff of Christian Brothers School wish all of our CBS families, students and alumni a most blessed Easter. |
