Annunciation B.V.M. School is committed to the education of the whole child in an atmosphere where the teachings of Jesus are integrated with everyday life.

This commitment is rooted in a tradition characterized by family values, parental involvement and service opportunities which reflect the schools Mercy tradition.


Annunciation BVM is a welcoming place where faculty, children, and parents come together to grow, to learn, to listen, and to love.

The greatness of Catholic schools is that there is a diversity of talents, but each person uses his/her talents as the manifestation of the Spirit!

ANNUNCIATION B.V.M. SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE! It's almost time for our THIRD ANNUAL ABVM TURKEY TROT on Saturday November 28. We want to see YOU, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, and NEIGHBORS - rain or shine! Registration begins at 8:00am and the race/walk will begin at 9:00am. Let's walk off that wonderful
Thanksgiving dinner that will then be but a great memory!

Need to Change GradeBook Password - all parents received an e-mail on Thursday, November 12 telling you that you need to pick a new GradeBook Password in order to access Gradebook. Your User ID will remain the same. There is no longer a need to call the office for your password, because only you will know your password. I also noticed that many families have not yet checked the grades of their children on GradeBook. Please make this a priority.



- Please plan to attend the Annunciation B.V.M. Parish Mission from November 14-November 17 in the church to be uplifted and formed in the Gospel Message with Fr. Dennis JW O'Donnell, Ph. D. Fr. O'Donnell will spaek to the school children on Tuesday, November 17.

Twelve 7th and 8th graders have volunteered to man this great endeavor. Mrs. Diane Giordano is our teacher mentor, and Dr. Frank Russo is our engineering mentor. We will keep you posted on their progress this year.
