St. Ambrose School begins 75th year helping students ‘learn and grow’ as disciples of Jesus
Just before the doors to St. Ambrose School in Cheverly, Maryland opened Aug. 26 for the first day of school, parents and students congregated in front of the school for pictures, making final adjustments to uniforms, double-checking backpacks and giving last-minutes hugs and good-bye kisses.
Among those arriving at the school was seventh grader Erickson Hernandez, who is starting his second year at the school. “I am happy to be here, and I wanted to come back,” he said.
When the doors opened, students and parents were greeted by faculty and staff wishing them a “happy new year” and a hearty “welcome back.”
