Our congratulations to all the students whose work will be shown. Many thanks to Ms. Brenna McLaughlin, A&D Photography teacher, for spearheading the effort. Thank you to A&D fashion teachers Eileen Farrelly and Helene Alexander whose students are in the show. And thank you to all the parents who support the school. It’s because of your contributions to the PTA that we were able to fund this and pay for the students to exhibit.
