Congratulations to St. Brigid Graduates

On June 4, 48 excited 8th-graders gathered for one last time as the St. Brigid class of 2013. It was “standing room only” at the graduation Mass, held at St. Pius X Church in Portland. During the ceremony, students honored their parents and received promotion certificates. Some received special awards and scholarships.

All of the teachers and staff of St. Brigid wish the best of luck to this outstanding group of young men and women. We know they will be successful in high school!

Third Grade Visits Tate House

Grade 3 went to the Tate House (the only pre-Revolutionary War house in Greater Portland that is open to the public) on Friday, 6/7. It was the culminating activity for her Social Studies unit on the history of Portland. The students toured the house (which was built in the 1750s for Captain George Tate, Senior Mast Agent for the British Royal Navy) and learned about daily life by studying reproductions of common items from that period including clothing, kitchen items, and toys. In this photo, Emma is comparing an 18th century toothbrush to modern toothbrushes.
