Thank you so much for your support and patience during this challenging time. Please know that your child is greatly missed here at St. Benilde and I truly hope to see each of you soon.
In compliance with the current guidelines set forth by the Office of Catholic Schools regarding school assemblies and graduations to close out the 2019-2020 school year, St. Benilde has rescheduled its 7th Grade Graduation/Promotion Ceremony for Saturday, July 18 at 10:00AM. A reception will follow in the school cafeteria if we are allowed to host an event of this nature.
As we anticipate and are hopeful of restrictions being lifted by state health and government agencies over the next two months, we will send further details at a later date if any restrictions are still in effect that would cause St. Benilde to alter the normal hosting of our 7th Grade Graduation (i.e. skipping pews to spread out our guests across the church, limiting the number of guests a family can bring, etc.). We are hopeful that enough restrictions will be lifted by this time that our ceremony will run as it has in previous years.
Practice for the ceremony will be held on Friday, July 17 at 10:00AM in the church. If we are allowed, following the practice, students will gather in the cafeteria for a slideshow presentation, "last lunch," and other activities.
Lastly, we anticipate additional information from Barberito's regarding 7th Grade cap and gown portraits will be coming within the next two weeks.
