Tonight, in a special way, we honor Dale and Lynn Piggush as our Honorary Chairpersons. Bishop McNamara has been an important part of both their immediate and extended families. Dale’s five siblings all graduated from St. One Hundred Years Patrick’s High School/Bishop McNamara High School, as did Lynn’s five of Irish Tales sisters. The devotion by Dale and Lynn to their extended Bishop McNamara family has always been unwavering. They have shown true commitment to serving the Year school even before their three children, Neil ‘98, Scott ‘01, and Bishop McNamara 100 Gala Lauren ’07, were enrolled by volunteering for Madcaps in the 1980’s. They continued their service as school parents by leading several committees, including serving as Annual Dinner Auction Chairpersons. And still today, they continue their commitment as Major Sponsors to the Annual Dinner Auction in addition to other donations.

All four were instrumental in establishing the Smith Media Center in honor of their mother and father. They also played a huge part in establishing the Dennis J.

upon atime One Hundred Years of Irish Tales

Bishop McNamara 100 Year Gala

Friends and Family of Bishop McNamara, It is truly an honor to serve as the Honorary Chairpersons of the 39th Annual Bishop McNamara Dinner Auction during the school’s 100th anniversary year.

For those of you who do not know it was Paul Keigher who brought the idea of the Auction to Bishop McNamara and who along with his wife Pat served as the first auction chairman.

While the Smith family hasn’t been involved with St. Pat/Bishop McNamara since day one, our association with the school dates back 70 years to the days when Smitty’s parents, Francis W. and Rita Smith, played a key role in the formation of St. Patrick Central High School. Indeed, Francis was instrumental in raising the money to build a building on Brookmont Boulevard to house St. Patrick Central High School, and was a charter member of the Board of Directors for the school. But his support didn’t end there – he and Rita helped by doing everything from selling tickets to the Huddle Club Dance to cooking french fries in the concession stand at football games.

Smitty was the first of Francis and Rita’s children to attend St. Pat’s, but was followed by Madelyn (O’Brien), Denny and Jim. While the school provided each with an excellent education, it was so much more than that. At St. Pat’s/Bishop McNamara, we formed lifelong friendships, many of which endure to this day.

We learned the importance of giving back to the community, following the example not only of our parent’s service, but also other St. Pat’s families of that era like the Mackins, Woyahns, Romarys, Dunns, O’Connors, Kilbrides, Huots, Azzarellis and many more. We nurtured our faith, attending religion class and school mass, under the guidance of Viatorian priests such as Fr. Gene Hoffman, Fr. Ed Shaw, and Fr. Matt Noonan. And we had a lot of fun, whether it was Friday night football games, sock hops at the CYO, or pizza at the Sahara restaurant.

When it was time for us to send our own children to high school, there was no question about where we wanted them to go.

We never took it for granted, however, that Bishop McNamara would always be there for them. We know it is only because of the hard work and generous support of so many in the Bishop McNamara community that our kids, and so many others, had that opportunity.

We always tried our best to do our part as well. Whether it was organizing Madcaps, selling raffle tickets, or going door-to-door with Ceile calendars in hand, we worked hard, but had a lot of fun as well. (The stories about the Madcaps days are probably better left unsaid!)

We are proud that our children, even though they do not live in the area, and our nieces and nephews, have thrown themselves into this effort as well. They secured a gift from Microsoft to create the school’s media center. And they created the Denny J. Smith Memorial Foundation to fund scholarships and other programs at Bishop McNamara. That program has, to date, funded over 180 Denny Scholarships at Bishop McNamara. And we are grateful to those of you who have contributed to those scholarships, or are in attendance at the auction tonight, for everything you have done to support the school.

So many of our family’s fondest memories involve Bishop McNamara: we were in the bleachers cheering all the state championship football teams and we have been there this year when the football team was not quite as good. We attended school dances, homecoming parades, pig roasts, and swing choir performances. We have attended the weddings and other celebrations of friends that our children made at the school, and have been thrilled to have those friends attend Smith family celebrations to this day. And most of all, we are grateful for the foundation that Bishop McNamara gave our children, and so many children, to build their lives.

It is our desire that many more generations to come will have the opportunity that comes with a Bishop McNamara education. That is the reason we agreed to serve as Honorary Chairpersons of tonight’s auction. We urge you to bid early and often tonight and remember Bishop McNamara’s future depends on your support.

God bless, and Go Irish!

upon atime One Hundred Years of Irish Tales

Bishop McNamara 100 Year Gala

Hello Friends!

Welcome to Bishop McNamara Catholic School celebration of 100 Years, “Once Upon a Time: One Hundred Years of Irish Tales.”

It is truly unbelievable that Bishop McNamara, and St Patrick’s before it, has been providing our community with quality Catholic education for 100 years!

We hope you enjoy this evening while we celebrate our past, live in the present and look to our future. We are truly humbled to have the opportunity to chair this year’s gala. We are both alumni of Bishop McNamara High School, and can remember working the annual auction when we were students. We never could have imagined that one day we would be given the opportunity to chair this spectacular event. It is very special to us to be a part of the 100 Year Anniversary of the Bishop McNamara!

This year’s gala would not be possible without the hard work of the Advancement Office, our gala planning team, parent volunteers and our honorary chairpersons. We also want to thank all of our sponsors, donors and the local community for all of their generous support.

We are proud to celebrate this year’s honorary chairpersons, Francis “Smitty” ‘60 and Jean Smith. They have been integral parts to Bishop McNamara’s history. Smitty and Jean were active volunteers and leaders in the Bishop McNamara community when their four children attended Bishop McNamara. We are grateful for their dedication and belief in what Bishop McNamara can provide.

Thank you, Smitty and Jean for your support over the last 50 years, and all of the support given to this evening’s gala!

Everyone has their own Bishop McNamara story. Tonight, as we reflect on the last 100 years, let us think about all of the ways Bishop McNamara has positively affected our lives. Enjoy the company of those individuals you might not have known if not for Bishop McNamara. Most importantly, let us help continue the tradition of Bishop McNamara for the next 100 years by showing our generosity and support. The best is yet to come…

Go Irish!

Raise Your Paddle!

Bid Paddle Raise Elementary Reading Series

As an adult, you find comfort in slowing down to curl up with a good book. You might even remember the bedtime story your parents read to you every night as a child.

That’s because a love of reading is something that stays with you forever, and a love of reading equals a love of learning.

Reading is also the cornerstone of education.

An effective instructional reading program emphasizes five essential components of instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Over the past 7 years, we have systematically replaced most of the elementary textbooks. Most recently, a new math series was purchased, and this year we adopted a new science program. Our current reading series, Journeys, will be retired after the 2023-24 school year, and the publisher will not be releasing a new edition. In addition, all current online instruction will no longer be available. This feature includes assessments, differentiated materials to support learning, and at home learning resources.

Raise your paddles to benefit our elementary BMCS reading program, which will strengthen the foundation of learning for all students and resources for our teachers. Not to mention it will spark that love of reading that will stay with our students their entire lives.
