The 6th Grade students at South Boston Catholic Academy led us in the Welcome Back School Mass. They did a fantastic job as Greeters, with the Readings and bringing up the Gifts to the Altar. Our SBCA Children's Choir sounded wonderful, as always. They were led by our talented Music Teacher, Mr. Carlo Bunyi and accompanied by our Parish Music Director and Organist, Kathy Clancy. Our Pastor, Father Robert Casey and Parochial Vicar, Father Peter Schirripa were the celebrants at this Mass. Father Casey, said "It's going to be a great year here at SBCA" and gave a Special Blessing at this Mass for all the students, parents, families, faculty and staff at SBCA. Prayer for A New School Year...God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder or our being, for mind, body and spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them and their teachers and staff. Give them strength and grace as their bodies grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; and peace and zeal to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. New families are welcome to email our admissions team at admissions@sbcatholicadacademy.org for more info. about South Boston Catholic Academy

The students in Ms. Peggy Byrne's 1B class had fun with their classroom project...The children shared how they felt about beginning a new school year. Ms. Byrne enjoyed reading a story entitled: "First Day Jitters" by Julie Danneberg. The children were surprised by the ending! (Author's message - even teachers can be nervous on the first day of school). Then, they had a chance to drink some "Jitter Juice" during Snack Time, just in case there were still some jitters lingering! The special "Jitter Juice" was made by combining Sprite and Blue Hawaiian Punch and tasted sooo good! The students in Ms. Peggy Byrne's class also welcomed our new Physical Education (Gym) Teacher, Coach Jason, (Mr. Jason Margeson). Quoting Ms. Byrne..."The children had so much fun in Gym class, that they wanted to have Gym class again with Coach Jason the next day!" "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss. “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” — A.A.
