Summer 2022
As we come to a close on our 90th Anniversary year, we continue to hold dear valued traditions like Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day, Arts Month, Blue and White Day, along with the Reach Out Service Learning Ceremony, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation (plus more!). This time of year is often bittersweet in that it is filled with the sense of satisfaction that comes with doing good work and overcoming obstacles, yet it paves the way for new beginnings and the sense of hope that comes with new opportunities. We pray for our students, especially our Eighth Graders, as they embark on the next phase of their lives. May they carry the values of Holy Child education to serve and fill our world with more love, compassion, integrity, and respect for the dignity of all.

(7-10) Arts Month Whether singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, or playing instruments, the visual and performing arts are valued and embedded into Mayfield's educational program each day. Cornelia Connelly said it best, "...Art is one of the most important branches of education, second only to the art of speaking and writing, and in some respects even beyond the languages, as it is in itself a universal language.”
