Blog Post 5 - Growth Through Faith!

 

Growth Through Faith!



At Bishop Dunn Memorial School, we understand the importance of a comprehensive approach to student development. Our focus on Catholic education is a source of pride for us, as it prepares our students for religious life and a life of faith, service, and personal growth. As a private school located on the scenic campus of Mount Saint Mary College, we offer a personalized approach to educating our students with small class sizes and individualized attention. 

Recently, we held a special Communion ceremony for a new family who joined our community in September. The ceremony took place at the Church of the Most Holy Rosary on our lovely campus, and it was a joyous occasion for Matthew, a fifth-grader, and his sister Sloane, a second-grader, as they made their first Communion together. The ceremony was attended by their parents, godparents, and other family members who celebrated the children's new faith and growth as members of the Catholic community. It was also a testament to the strong sense of community at Bishop Dunn and our commitment to supporting our students and families.

Blog Post 6 - Teachers Grow over the summer!

  Teachers Grow over the summer! Most teachers are excited to take a break from the classroom and recharge at the end of a hectic school year. However, the break is also an opportunity for some to learn and refine their skills.  This summer, several teachers from BDMS participated in MSMC's annual 'Picturing Writing' workshop . Our teachers participated in the 'Picturing Writing' workshop to gain new perspectives on literacy. They plan to incorporate the techniques and strategies they learned into their instruction this fall to help their students become better writers. By using visual art as a tool for writing, students can develop their creativity and imagination while improving their writing skills. Ms. Martelli, Ms. Cambronero, Ms. Coffey, Ms. Rosscup, and Mr. VanDeree are excited to implement these new ideas and see their positive impact on their students' learning.
