Our fabulous students, families and teachers donated OVER 2,100 cans of food to our annual Souper Bowl collection. All of the classes did a great job, led by our 8th grade who had the highest number of cans and our Pre-K, which had the highest percentage (cans per student.) Our collection will be donated to Catholic Charities here in the Bronx.

We are proud to announce the addition of Recorder instruction for grades 3 and 4. All students in those grades will receive their own instrument and instructional book, free of charge.

We are very happy to announce that on Tuesday morning 21 January, Mrs. Padian gave birth to a healthy baby boy--Patrick Owen Padian. Mother and child are doing well. Best wishes to the Padian and Cassidy families

Tomorrow begins our annual collection of canned food, known as the Souper Bowl. Students are asked to bring in canned fruit, vegetables, soups, beans, etc. NO glass bottles or jars, please. All donations will be kept right here and given to Our Lady of Refuge Parish Food Pantry. The class that collects the most cans wins the Souper Bowl trophy!
