Wow! The Family Fun Night and Basket Raffle was quite a success! Thanks to all of you who supported this 1st Annual St. Chris event. The Faculty/Staff Committee headed by Mrs. Callaghan, Ms. McLaughlin, and Mrs. Whalen, was able to put together 76 baskets to raffle off on February 22nd. About 400 people - school families and parishioners - attended and enjoyed some pizza, beverages, games, and good company. There were more than 76 winners on that night, but clearly the biggest winners were our school students. The profits help us to maintain our Fine Arts program as well as the other Special classes. Thanks again to all who supported this event!
