Greetings!
There is no better evidence of the success of our school than the list
of places where our students are going to college in the fall. The Class of 2010 is headed to Georgetown
University, Fairfield, Holy Cross, Emmanuel, Suffolk, Regis, Massachusetts
College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the University of Massachusetts and
many other outstanding institutions.
Just about every senior will be the first in their family to go to
college. Their accomplishments are
extraordinary, especially since most of these young people entered our school
four years ago with literacy and math skills well below grade level. The feedback we receive from our graduates is
that the combination of work and study gives them an advantage over many of
their peers.
It has been fun in recent weeks to talk to our seniors. When they speak about their future, they are
openly and genuinely grateful for the help of many people - parents, teachers,
the college counseling staff, corporate sponsors, job site supervisors, and
benefactors. The students are mindful
that many people have contributed to their success.
We hope you know how powerful your contribution is to the mission of
Cristo Rey Boston. By providing our
students with a job or by making a donation, you make a concrete and tangible
difference in the lives of some of the neediest and most amazing young people
in Greater Boston. Thank you for
believing in our students, for being a critical part of their extraordinary
success, and for helping to make our community a better place.
Sincerely,
Jeff Thielman
President

Students take historic trip to our Nation's Capital!
16 seniors and three chaperones, Fr. Jose Medina, Jenny Castro, and Carrie Gilmore, packed into a van and left early on a Wednesday morning in search of learning all they could about our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C.
[As told by Carrie Gilmore, Head of Humanities]
We got into DC at about 7pm. After dinner, we drove into the city to take a nighttime tour of the mall. For most students, it was their first time to DC and their first time seeing the Lincoln Memorial. To experience it all at night is truly breathtaking.
On Thursday, we had breakfast at a French cafe, and then students had several hours to explore museums including the American History...

Interested in giving a year of service?
Next year we will have a community of Cristo Rey Boston volunteers living in a former rectory in Dorchester. Think of this program
as Tomas times three! The volunteers will complement the Jesuit Volunteer
assigned to the Corporate Work Study Office, the UCTC volunteer, and Graduate
School of Social Work interns who will assist in various aspects of school
life. We are now accepting applications for the Cristo Rey Boston Volunteer Program. If you or someone you know is interested in living in community and serving our school, they can email Annemarie Grimaldi at agrimaldi@myncchs.org.
