Bishop McVinney School 155 Gordon Ave. Providence, RI 02905Valued Members of the Bishop McVinney School Alumni Association,We are hoping to be in touch with you at least twice a year via our internet connection. We would also love to have some updated information regarding phone numbers and addresses for as many alumni as possible. If you are in touch with other McVinney graduates over the holidays, please encourage them to contact me at BMV.Our school presently has an enrollment of 284 students (three year olds through grade 8). We have made recent improvements to our staff and environment with several new teachers and aids, an extended daycare program (AM, PM and throughout vacation periods), and a new fenced-in playground area with stimulating equipment for our younger children. We are growing daily!Our eighth graders recently visited area Catholic High Schools and several took the entrance exam for these schools. St. Michael’s Church community has benefitted from a recent BMV canned food drive from which over 1,100 non-perishable food stuffs were collected. Our eighth graders helped to pack Thanksgiving baskets at St. Charles Parish (once home to our BMV middle school). We are presently preparing for our Christmas Talent Show and several days of holiday break!Our new Development Office has some major projects underway to benefit our BMV students --- perhaps you might be in a position to help us.1) Small bank of four computers and one printer for each of (five) Grades 4-8 classrooms. *Computers should be fully operative BUT not necessarily brand new* 20 computers and five printers are needed for this project2) FRIEND Raising Project geared to growing accurate lists for graduates of BMV and St. Michael’s School... so that communication can be on-going and updated. Perhaps graduation year captains can be organized for this purpose to solicit phone numbers, home/work addresses and emails from BMV alumni-ae.3) New camera to utilize for promotional and advertising materials.Your help is critical to our development program’s success! Please contact me at Bishop McVinney School and share names and addresses, including email, of alumni -ae -- your friends and classmates! We’d love to stay in touch with you and perhaps plan some Alumnae Reunions!Anxious to hear from you,Sister Theresina Scully, CPformer BMV teacher and principal and now Director of BMV Development Office

Testimonials
Today is a very special day for me as it is my graduation day. Bishop McVinney has been my second home and everyone here has been like a second family to me. I have had the pleasure to have been guided through my ten years by wonderful teachers, administrators, and staff. Bsihop McVinney School has helped us to become peacemakers, to trust in God, love one another, and respect differences. Our teachers have provided us with a quality education. Our school has welcomed and treated us in such a way that we always knew we were the children of God. As we set forth on life’s journey, I want to wish you all the best as you continue your own journey at Bishop McVinney School. -Sincerely, Somali DaSilva ~ Class of 2008
I owe it all to Bishop McVinney Regional School for helping me to become the individual I am today. My family and I had only been living in the United States for a year when I began the sixth grade at Bishop McVinney Regional School. My siblings and I barely knew any English, but my teachers and, especially Mr. Hebert, were very helpful during the learning process. Mr. Hebert did not just simply assist us in the educational transition, but with my transition to the United States as well.
By the time I graduated from the eighth grade, I was speaking English fluently. My two sisters and brother all graduated from Bishop McVinney Regional School. Currently my son and nephew attend kindergarten and first grade and I am looking forward to seeing them both graduate. If it was not for the education that Bishop McVinney offered me, I would not have been able to become the person I am today. Now I am a successful business man who helps run his family’s business. I am forever thankful and grateful to have received my education at Bishop McVinney Regional School.
