And they're off.... Every student was a wee bit Irish last Sunday as they marched in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. The cold skies and threat of the blizzard couldn't keep the school families and spectators away from the treat of the pipes and drums and the fabulous post parade party, chaired by Meg McCartney. Thanks to Elizabeth Doctor for once again arranging the treat of the Donny Golden dancers! A Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of our supporters.
