READY, SET, GO: On Oct. 20, the all male kingsmen honors choir recorded the vocals for the upcoming virtual Fall Concert that will take place on Nov. 1. They all sing their song “Homeward Bound” with their mask on and while maintaining social distancing standards. Sophomore Benjamin Thai, senior Justin Vu, and senior Kenny Pham talk between takes of their song. “I missed the live audience from in-person concerts, but I was also less nervous singing for the virtual concert.” Benjamin Thai said.

THE STOLES: The day began with setup where over 300 stoles were unboxed and placed on display before giving them to the students. “The day went very well for all involved,” said Principal Frances Clare. “The senior level students with 4.0 GPA or higher began arriving with their families at 4:00 pm. The cars drove into Monarch Way, checked in and then Fr. Steve and I presented the students with their stoles and the famous MD cookies. Several faculty/staff members were present and they formed a line to cheer and recognize the students and families as they exited the parking lot.”
