Now I am putting on little circular slabs to add details,” says Kurtz.

On November 4, Academy held an open house for the prospective students and parents of the class of 2024. Speakers included Sister Mary Glavin, Sister Ann Reagan, Principal Stephanie Nitchals, Administrator Pam Doherty, and President Art Raimo. During the day, Academy students were performing, talking, creating, and giving tours throughout the school.

“It put a smile on my face to see both the parents and students joyful looking around the school. They seemed to really enjoy the performances and tours. Everyone just looked so happy. Both the students representing Academy and the possibly new students also,” says Sofia Tweed (‘20).
