Bell-Jeff Open House























St. Robert Bellarmine church started celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, also called the Virgin of Guadalupe this sunday as well as several other parishes. The official feast date is Friday, Dec. 12, the 477th anniversary of the Virgin Mary’s third and final appearance to St. Juan Diego Cuauhtaloatzin on a hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City from December 9, 1531 through December 12, 1531. The celebration includes traditional mananitas and the choir that performed during the mass have amazing voices. On the other hand, Bell-Jeff High School hosted an Open House for the incoming Eight Grade students at St. Eleanor's Hall. With the help of some Parent Advisory members, Luisa, Daisy, Griselda, Marianne and Lita, everyone had an opportunity to speak and share their experiences at Bell-Jeff during the tour rotation. Theology teacher Mr. Bud Phillips was our moderator and myself being the President of the Parent Advisory Board and Joyce Aiello, who is the President of the Booster Board, we took turns in sharing our roles and the activities that we support for the school. We also have some student volunteers including my son Randall, ASB Social Director, Jennifer Cruz, ASB President and Joyce Aiello's son, Anthony who is a Sophomore who talked about their roles and what make them enjoy their student life at Bellarmine-Jefferson High School. We hope that we convinced these attendees to consider Bell-Jeff as their choice for the Freshmen next school year.
