TODAY IS PETER LYNCH DAY!
May 11th marks a special milestone for our school communities: Peter Lynch Day. It is a day to look beyond the classroom and celebrate the heart, hustle, and hope that define our students.
Since 2010, the Peter Lynch Scholars program has stood as a tribute to Peter Lynch’s legacy with the Catholic Schools Foundation. More than just a financial award, it is a recognition of the "Building Minds" mission in action.
Walk into any of our elementary schools today and you will see the Peter Lynch Scholar spirit. It is not just found in the student with the highest test scores; it’s found in the student who stays late to help a peer, the one whose work ethic never wavers despite challenges, and the one for whom a Catholic education is a life-changing door.
To be a Peter Lynch Scholar is to be a leader of character. Whether they are current scholarship recipients or 8th graders preparing for their next chapter, these students represent the very best of our Archdiocese.
For our graduating 8th graders, today carries extra weight. One student from every elementary school in the Archdiocese of Boston is being honored with a one-time $1,000 scholarship toward the Catholic high school of their choice.
This award is a bridge. It ensures that the values nurtured in elementary school, faith, service, and academic rigor, continue to flourish at the secondary level. These scholars are selected personally by their principals, individuals who have seen their growth firsthand and know the impact they will make on their future high school communities.
It is more than just a scholarship it is a life-changing opportunity for students to reach their full potential and give back to their communities.
