South Boston Catholic Academy

First-grade students at South Boston Catholic Academy recently had the opportunity to meet a children’s author, Mark Gabriele. He read one of his books,“ J.D.’s Scratch Match,” to the class and explained the process involved with writing a story from early drafts, rereading, editing and publishing. He also reminded them about writing dedications and why. The children had many questions for him and enjoyed his visit. We have some follow-up activities planned and he is looking forward to visiting us again. South Boston Catholic Academy is currently accepting applications for all classes, preschool through sixth grade. We have Before School and After School Programs available and have small class size; high acceptance rate to Parochial, Private and Boston Exam Schools. Please contact Mrs. Barbara Keohane [...]
