Montini Catholic's Inaugural 'Cookie Club' gathered early in the morning on Wednesday, January 29th to surprise Bronco parents as they were dropping off students for school. The Lasallian college preparatory high school is celebrating National Catholic Schools Week this week (January 26-February 1). President Kevin Beirne and Principal Chris Tiritilli joined faculty, staff and administration members to greet parents with smiles, waves and 'thank you' signs while handing them chocolate chip cookies as tokens of appreciation. "Thank you parents and guardians!​" said Principal Chris Tiritilli. "As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we focus much of our attention on celebrating our students and staff. We also wanted to take an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the importance of our parents and guardians, as the primary educators of their students and partners in achieving our mission. Parent partnership and involvement is and will always be integral to the success of our students and community. Together, we create a supportive, faith-filled community where students can thrive academically, spiritually, and socially. We are beyond grateful to all of our parents/guardians for their support of Catholic education, and of Montini Catholic High School!​" Image above: "Bronco Cookie Club" - front row l to r: Mary Albert (Alumni Relations), Sara McGady (Admissions), Barb Pauley (Business Office), Lexxi Johnson (Assistant Principal), Anne Marie Lowery (Director of Development), Chris Tiritilli (Principal); back row: James Szymczak (Dean), Mike Bukovsky (Admissions Ambassador and Head Football and Wrestling Coach) and Kevin Beirne (President)
