Have a blessed and safe Labor Day! #MotivationMonday
From their first Mass as BMCS High School students to their Baccalaureate Mass, the tradition of the bagpipes is a special one. A bagpipe player leads our new students into the first Mass of the year, and comes back only to lead the new graduates out of their last Mass as BMCS students.
It's the sentimental traditions, like these, that make BMCS a truly special place.

On Monday, we were blessed to host Chad Busick from the Jon Gordon speaking team! He first lead a workshop with all of our coaches on "The Power of Positive Leadership". Chad also spoke with our Junior High and High School students on the Energy Bus and rounded out his BMCS tour with the Power of Positive Leadership for our Faculty and Staff.
Thank you Chad, and thank you Aaron Hamilton for leading these amazing sessions.

Parents! Be sure to make plans NOW to join us for Mini Schedule Night at the Jr. High and High School levels, and Parent Preview Night at the Grade School levels. These evenings will be important to learn valuable information, as well as see the classrooms and meet the teachers!
Our small school environment allows for personal connections and peer mentorship relationships to form. Today, we welcomed our first Irish for a Day student, pictured here with a senior. We are so excited to hit the ground running and welcome all our new students this year!
Bishop McNamara Catholic School would not be what it is today without the generous support we receive from our donors. We are so grateful for all the support we have received this past fiscal year. We can do so much more because of YOU, so, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Congratulations to this year's new Kazma Scholars. We recently celebrated them and their families at the Kazma Scholar Mass. Thank you also to the Kazma family, for their continued support of Catholic Education.
