Happy Holiday Season!

The Holiday Season is almost upon us! We at Notre Dame Education Center are certainly busy during this time in preparation for our NDEC celebrations such as: mid-November is scheduled our cultural Heritage Day when our students and staff spend time sharing their cultural stories, traditions, and food. In addition, we begin planning our “Holiday Book Drive” where staff collects children’s books for all ages so that our adult students may select one or two books for their children to include in their holiday gift bags. Amid the hustle and bustle preparing for Thanksgiving dinners with family and holiday shopping, remember to check your mailbox for our Holiday Appeal Letter!

Thank you for all you do to support the Mission of Notre Dame Education Center, South Boston. Happy (pre-) Holiday Season!

Graduation held at NDEC on September 30th

Notre Dame Education Center held its 19th Graduation last Friday, September 30th.  Students graduated from the High School Diploma Program (HSDP) and students who attained their GED were recognized.

As the High School students received their diplomas from Donna Pomponio, HSDP Coordinator, HSDP Case Manager/History teacher K. Toussaint Lacoste read the students’ goals and plans for their future. Many are attending colleges such as Quincy College and MassBay Community College. Others are planning to study cosmetology or to begin careers in community service.

GED teachers Sr. Mary Mulligan, SND and Carolyn Decarlo read short profiles written by their students as the students were acknowledged for their achievements. Students thanked their teachers and their family members, many of whom were sitting in the audience.

It was truly an inspiring evening. Many of the students had faced challenges and roadblocks during their journey. As Sr. Mary instructed the class to “turn their tassel” from the right to left side, the students could finally celebrate their success. Students and their families then joined NDEC staff for cake and light refreshments.

Congratulations to the Class of 2011!
