DYLAN LAMB, Class of 2002, and a graduate of NYU s Tisch School of Arts, is a writer and actor whose plays have been performed at the MN and NY Fringe Festivals. His short screenplay Game Night, premiered at the First Run Film Festival in New York in Fall Dylan will combine his writing skills and wit to MC on his home turf, Annunciation auditorium, on October 13th. THE BELFAST COWBOYS, including group member Terry Walsh, Class of 1976, are a 9- piece, horn driven band that specializes in rock and the music of Van Morrison. Their first show was on St. Pat s Day 2002 and they have since headlined at BB King s Blues Bar in New York and played a 3-hour opening set for the band Chicago.

We are looking forward to having the little ones at Annunciation. Several of the children were here this summer for Vacation Bible School and it was fun to see their little faces light up when learning about how God loves them as big as the sky! Vacation Bible School has been a blessing to our students: both the younger children and the middle school students who help run the activities. Annunciation is rapidly adding technology this summer thanks to great generosity at the Auction and through annual giving. Besides outfitting each classroom with interactive boards and document cameras, the middle school science room and the resource room for children with learning challenges will have ipads. Teachers and students are very excited to move to this new level of instruction and learning. Our dream is to put effective technology that supports learning and academic excellence into the hands of our students. Fundraising Benefits Students (July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012).

On July 1st, the Church of the Visitation merged with Annunciation parish.

We are grateful for the beautiful statues and wall art that have come to school from Visitation. We will have a special exhibit of the statues in the school chapel and later distribute them to the classrooms. We have a once-in-a-lifetime special event coming up on October 13th, Creative Artstravaganza, that you won t want to miss.
