My oldest daughter, Veronica,  graduated this year and is now a proud Lacordaire alumna. During her time at Lacordaire, she served as President of the Ambassadors and Medical Science Club, Co-President of Key Club, Treasurer of Student Government, Captain of Mock Trial and Rowing, Co-Captain of Softball, Social Media Manager for Glow Forward, Co-Organizer of Chamber of Chills, and Tech & Stage Crew Director 

for Theatre. She was also a member of the World Language Honor Society, National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, Science Honor Society, Rho Kappa Honor Society, Laco Voices, and the Culture Club.

My daughter Samantha will be entering 11th grade this year. She serves as Vice President of theFilm Club and is actively involved in Cheer, Softball, Track & Field, Student Ambassadors, Fashion Club, Theatre, and Chamber of Chills. This summer, she was accepted into a summer program at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), where she is taking a course.

My youngest daughter, Tamara, will be joining the Upper School this fall as a ninth-grade student, and we are excited to begin this next chapter of her Lacordaire journey.

We chose Lacordaire because of its welcoming, family-oriented environment, small class sizes, and the encouragement and support students receive from the faculty, staff, and their peers. Our daughters have formed lasting friendships, and I have had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful families through the school. We are truly grateful to be part of such an exceptional community, and I am excited for the opportunity to continue giving back through my role on the Parents Association Board.
