Spirit of Boston

SMOOTH SAILING
We're cruising right along with our graduation celebration plans, thanks to the hard work and generosity of the Cheverus community of families, friends and local business owners.

There are a few items we need to bring to your attention to ensure a wonderful evening for our grads.  

Permission Slip/Celebration Contract.  Please review it carefully, as Cheverus has a zero tolerance policy and we reserve the right to search students' belongings.

The following students have submitted their contracts

Medications.  If your grad needs to bring any medications, please be sure they are checked in with a chaperone.

Rides Home.   Keeping our grads safe is key to a successful celebration.   As you can imagine, your grad may be more than a bit sleepy after an evening of celebrating so we recommend that you pick your child up when the buses return to school at 6 a.m.

FUNDRAISING FLOATS OUR BOAT!
We've successfully raised the funds for our festive cruise on the Spirit of Boston.  Heartfelt thanks to those who purchased recycled bags, Celtics raffle tickets,  spring bulbs and ornaments, and participated in the leaf raking project.  

CLYNK COLLECTIONS CONTINUE
Our recycled bottle program has garnered $335 and counting.   If you still have CLYNK bags to fill, you still have time as we intend to collect bottles throughout the school year.  All additional monies will help replenish the Purple and Gold fund which generously assists each year's graduating class.
