April 30, 2021 ST. MARY'S LYNN THE LAST QUARTER
St. Mary's welcomed back students and faculty from April vacation on Monday after well deserved time off.
We had a great first week back and our students are getting down to business, as the end of the year is around the corner.
In addition, there is so much to celebrate as this is our final quarter of the 2020-21 school year. All of our students have worked hard and followed all the correct protocols that got us to this point.
Seniors have been making final decisions on where they will be taking their next step this fall. The class of 2021 has so much ambition and drive. We look forward to celebrating them in the upcoming month before they embark in their new journeys.
We are so proud of our students!
