New Brunswick’s 32nd annual Disability Awareness Week May 26th-June
1st, 2019. This year’s theme is “Better Together!”
representing diversity, inclusion and accessibility. The main
goal of Disability Awareness Week (DAW) is

disabilities from full and equal participation in all aspects of their
community and what may be done to correct these problems.
Graduating
Students!
Students
who are graduating this year but who do not plan to attend the ceremony should
inform Mrs. O'Hara as soon as possible. Students who do plan to attend

your fee in order to get your tickets. Each graduating student will

after the ceremonies. This year we are going to the Aquatic Center from
approximately 10:15 until midnight then we will go the Bowlarama for bowling,
pizza, treats, prizes and fun. We will return to the school at 2:30 am where
you can get picked up.

·
Safe
Grad costs $25 which includes all the activities, snacks, prizes, pizza, and a
T shirt. In order to guarantee a spot Grads must sign up by June 4th as
buses need to be ordered and the number of buses needed is determined by the
number of grads who have signed up by June 4.

SPECIAL NOTE ** There is talk of a graduation party happening again
at Shakedown Ranch following our prom. To be clear –
THIS IS NOT A ST. MALACHY’S EVENT. This is an unsanctioned
event. Parents and guardians need to be aware of the risk involved when numbers
in excess of 600 people of all ages are consuming alcohol and drugs in an open
unsupervised event. Please talk to your student.
The Alumni

can be purchased in the main office.
