CURLEY | CURRENTS

Flaherty Family Foundation Scholars

The recipients of the Flaherty Family Foundation Scholarships at Curley gathered for their annual breakfast on September 27th. Curley is blessed to be partnered with the Flaherty Foundation.

Ring Ceremony

The Curley Class of 2024 received their Class rings in the traditional ceremony on Sunday, December 4th. The Class members and their families gathered for Mass, and the blessing and distribution of the rings, as well as a Ring Address presented by Mr. Nicholas Brownlee ’96.

Greccio

The Freshman Class presented the annual live nativity on December 11th, recalling St. Francis’ first presentation in the town of Greccio in 1223. This Franciscan tradition at Curley again involved students and animals, and is always well received by those attending.

All seniors made a November retreat, with options for an overnight or daylong experience. Students were encouraged to reflect upon how they can continue to live the Franciscan ideals after graduating from Curley and how they can make the most of their final months of senior year.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

The Franciscan Youth Ministry’s Thanksgiving Food Drive was very successful, and the Franciscan Center in Baltimore received 25 prepared boxes and many bags of additional food for distribution.

Electric Vehicle Engineering

This course is a high-impact, project-based class among the STEM classes being offered this year. The students are being challenged to build, test, and drive a potentially road-worthy SWITCH Electric Vehicle.
