Bay Ridge
Congratulations to students graduating the Genesis program at Xaverian Middle School. The young scholars were conferred their diplomas at a June 11 ceremony.
Christy Maria Fratto offered the invocation, school president Robert Alesi (Class of ’78) gave the welcoming speech, Principal Kevin McCormack delivered the principal’s address, valedictorian Matthew Hayes and salutatorian Anthony Giannopolous shared their thoughts, and Logan Deitchman closed with a prayer.
Afterwards the 72 proud graduates presented their parents with letters of gratitude and love! Xaverian will welcome 50 of these students into its historic co-ed class of 2016 this month.
“The young men and women of the Class of 2016 are perfect representatives of the Genesis standard of excellence,” said Dean of Genesis Patricia McEvoy. “I am very proud of their many accomplishments and I know they have bright and rewarding futures.”
Standing O wishes all the students good luck in their studies, and looks forward to giving a shout-out to the class of 2020 when they graduate.
Xaverian Middle School and High School [7100 Shore Rd. at 71st Street in Bay Ridge, (718) 836–7100].
