Dear Parents/Guardians:

We are quickly approaching the end of a successful school year.God has blessed us with many gifts — excellent, dedicated faculty, supportive parents and happy and exciting children eager to learn.This positive atmosphere has given us the opportunity for open communication and a chance to build a strong faith community at Bishop McHugh Regional School.Our month of May could not have been more energized with activities.The May Procession opened our month to a school-wide prayerful experience. Thanks to Mrs. Larkin, Ms. Cullen, Mrs. Walls, Mrs. Barry and Mrs. DelSordo for orchestrating this event.Thanks to the Golf Committee for a successful event.Everyone who attended had fun and enjoyed the food and friendship.“Annie Jr.” was the school’s high point in May, this year extended to two presentations — one being a Dinner Theatre presentation.Congratulations to the cast and moderators for motivating these students to exhibit their talents.My appreciation to the faculty for all your talents in preparing and serving dinner.

In 7th Grade:1st—Andrew Pfeiffer, 2nd-Leah Yost, 3rd–Taylor Smith and Honorable Mention—Kelly Gillin-Schwartz.In 6th Grade:1st-Kaitlin Kenney and 2nd-Gerry Gilroy.Overall Excellence went to 1st place — Lee Wetty, 2nd place — Anjeleen Coppa, 3rd place - Andrew Pfeiffer and Honorable Mention Gerry Gilroy.

Field Day could not have been more perfect starting with the weather right down to the mothers drowning our students and faculty with water balloons.Thanks to all who volunteered to make this a perfect day.

June is here and we take pride in congratulating all of our graduates and wish them well as they approach a new milestone in education.Also, thank you to all parents/grandparents and teachers for your continuous support of Bishop McHugh Regional School.I am sure I have missed thanking some of you for your support and efforts — please know that I appreciate all the hard work and dedication.
