Congratulations, NativityMiguel School

We are happy to share this article from the July 16 Scranton Times-Tribune, "NativityMiguel school marks milestone with summer session," by Sarah Hofius Hall. 

What is the milestone?  The 2018-19 school year marks the first time the school -- having begun with only grade 5 in 2015 -- will be offering grades 5 through 8. 

Why is the milestone being marked now?  NativityMiguel Scranton recently began its summer session, which is an "unofficial start" to the 2018-19 school year. 

Why are we so happy to share this? NativityMiguel Scranton is co-sponsored by the Sisters of Christian Charity and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton.  Several SCCs were involved with other religious communities and benefactors to make this dream a reality.  Sister Maria Angeline Weiss, SCC, currently teaches at NativityMiguel Scranton.  Additionally, we believe in the school's mission: "To provide a holistic, financially accessible and integrated education to students of all faith who are in grades five through eight and whose potential is underserved because of academic, social and financial challenges.  Through the shared commitment of community and educational leaders, the school offers an academically rigorous, extended-day, year-round program which empowers students to greater achievement in high school, college and future employment."

Congratulations to everyone at NativityMiguel Scranton!
