The fifth group of students to enter Nora Cronin Presentation Academy was formally welcomed into the academy at the annual Induction Ceremony that was held at Calvary Presbyterian Church on October 24. Girls entered into the ceremony with their class groups, accompanied by their teachers: Sr. Eleanor Joyce (5th), Ms. Kristy Matesic (6th), Mrs Melanie Fescoe (7th) and Sr. Mary Eileen Troy (8th). They sang We are Women of the Light, accompanied by Sr. Maria Lopez (computer tech teacher) on guitar.
NCPA Principal, Sr. Yliana Hernández, welcomed her students, their parents, teachers and supporters and especially the new fifth grade students to the beginning of their Presentation Education. Selected 8th graders read their testimony about being NCPA students and told the new girls to be grateful to their parents for sending them to the academy, and to always ask for the help which is there abundantly for the taking.
