The Crusader Club did an amazing job this year of educating the community. The junior and senior members visit grammar schools and give tours to prospective students and families. Congratulations to seniors Mark Kohler, Christine Blom and Joe Ambrozy for their hard work and dedication in the admissions office.

The Bishop Eustace Student Library Association held a free Easter Story Hour on Saturday, April 12th in the library. Children were treated with stories and a magic show. The children also received Easter coloring books and crayons to take home with them. The story hour was a huge success and the children left with smiles on their faces.

Christopher Threston and Maureen McLoone were two of the students that helped out at the Bishop Eustace Book Fair at Barnes and Noble on March 30th. Local author of New Jersey related books Tom Wilk attended the fair and several students and faculty members treated the audience to music and magic.

Senior students Jessica Damato, Stephanie Flaherty, Jaclyn Przbylkowski, and juniors Michael Marie and Elizabeth Potts provided great leadership at the Hunger Banquet held this school year. The banquet helped raise funds to alleviate world hunger. The evening was equipped with motivational guest speakers who talked about Mexican and Vietnamese culture and world issues.

Bishop Eustace students pride themselves on achieving their dreams through the various opportunities he school offers. Congratulations to the following students for their achievements this year:

Photography Club student Kristen Sullivan achieved her dream by having her photograph published in the March issue of Teen Ink Magazine. The photograph can be seen on www.teenink.com/art/March03/. The members are also gearing up for the photography club show held through the month of May in the library where students display their best work.

Senior Nick Iannucci decided to end his winning streak as a hitter and switched to a pitcher. His decision was positive and earned him a scholarship to Monmouth University.
