Father Daughter Dance – Saturday, January 23, 2010
The school’s annual Father-Daughter Dance was held Saturday, January 23, 2010. Over 100 MAA students and their dads enjoyed “La Bella Notte – A Beautiful Evening,” complete with dancing and refreshments. The Italian-themed dance provided MAA dads and their daughters with an opportunity to meet and mingle – and dance the night away in the school’s gymnasium which was transformed into a Venetian Italian village.
Mount Assisi Academy sophomore Alexandra Parisi (Orland Park) and dad John enjoy some time off the dance floor.
Special recognition and thanks go to Ann Rogers, coordinator for this outstanding event!
Earned Income Credit Outreach Campaign
The 2010 campaign to inform low-income working people that they could qualify for tax refunds through the Earned Income Credit (EIC) and the Child Tax Credit has begun. Working families need to know that help may be available when they file their tax returns in 2010. This year eligible families and individuals can receive as much as $5,657, and they may qualify for credits even if they did not earn enough in 2009 to own income tax. Effective outreach is needed to prevent low and moderate income working families from missing out on opportunities they simply cannot afford to pass up. The 2010 outreach campaign kit is available online at http://eitcoutreach.org/.
MAA’s Sisters celebrated their 100th Anniversary October 18 at Drury Lane Oak Brook
The last event celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King ministry in the US started on October 25, 2009 with Mass said by Cardinal George in the Convent Chapel. The day proceeded with a dinner at the Drury Lane in Oakbrook, IL with over 300 in
attendance. The Sisters’ Rev. Mother from Rome and Provincial Superiors from their
provinces in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Italy, joined us for this special event. MAA declared October 20 “Franciscan Day” to honor the visiting Sisters, and hosted them at MAA for a prayer service, information
sessions and a tour. Our students received a wonderful insight into the expansive ministry carried out by our Sisters all over the world.
