When Mary Holmes brought her daughter, Queenie, to St. Malachy Catholic School for her first day of kindergarten nearly 20 years ago, she stayed — the whole day. That day turned into years of volunteering at the school which turned into countless full-time jobs — from assistant to the principal to her current role as a 4th grade teacher — all while earning his master’s degree at Lincoln University.
Today, the family legacy at Malachy continues. Queenie, currently at LaSalle University studying criminal justice, has her daughter enrolled in Pre-K.
In this episode of Strong Minds Loving Hearts, St. Malachy principal, Betsy Rafferty, chats with Mary, Queenie and a few other “guests” who were up past their bedtime and couldn’t resist playing with the mics. 🙂 Together they recall heartwarming memories and dig deep into what makes this place so magical. So grab a box of tissues and get ready for all the feels.
