Mrs. Bathmann's Message
I am so grateful to all who helped make our Blue Ribbon celebration on November 11 such a memorable event. My heartfelt thanks goes to our pastor, PTA, parents, teachers, students, and all who shared this special moment in our school's history. During the past month, Saint Dominic School has been honored at the federal, state, and local levels for being recognized as a 2018 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence! On November 8 in Washington, DC, the U.S Department of Education presented the school with an official plaque and flag to commemorate this great accomplishment. At our school's Thanksgiving Prayer Service on November 20, a Joint Legislative Resolution was presented by Assemblyman McGuckin, an alumnus of Saint Dominic's, and Assemblyman Wolfe who noted that Saint Dominic School stands as a beacon to the heights to which education can aspire. On the local level, Mayor Ducey and the Brick Township Council declared Wednesday, November 21, 2018 to be Saint Dominic National Blue Ribbon School Day by official proclamation! Our school will be honored once again on December 5 by the New Jersey Department of Education at the New Jersey State Board of Education Recognition Ceremony in Trenton. Congratulations to our entire Saint Dominic School Community!
