We recently sat down with Ms. Fiorino, the principal of the Immaculate Conception School. We asked Ms. Fiorino a series of
questions.
How many kids have come to the school since last year?

The Church’s construction will be done sometime this summer.
Hopefully, next year’s 8th grade class will be the first to graduate
upstairs since before Ms. Fiorino came to ICS.
Are there any new plans for a new school?
Father Sannella is waiting to hear from the Archdiocese of Boston
for permission to build a new school.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Olivia Gavriel, a graduate of I.C.S. class of 2005, graduated two years ago from
Salve Regina University. She majored in Set Design and Technical Theater. Before
college she attended Lowell Catholic High School. Presently, she works at the
University of Massachusetts Lowell in the registration office.
Although she works full-time, she makes time to keep involved in local theater. She
encourages I.C.S. students to keep moving forward toward their future goals. Her
advice to current I.C.S. students - “you have to stay true to who you are to find the
happiness in your future.”
Art and Music Show
This past spring I.C.S. students participated in the annual Art and Music Show.
Both programs were attended and enjoyed by students, parents, and faculty.
Students would like to thank Mrs. Gavriel and Mrs. Lavallee for all their hard
work and dedication to our school!

The I.C.S. Girls and Boys Basketball teams both had
great seasons! The Girl’s Varsity had a great season
and made it to the second round of the playoffs. The
All-Stars were Lindsey Bohenko, Julia Sullivan, and
Lily Diamantopoulos.
The boys varsity had a very successful season only
losing one game in the regular season. Unfortunately,
they lost in the championship game by 5 points to
the St. Louis School. The All-Stars were Johnny Donovan, Aidan Foyle, Chris Men, and Bryan Klobucher.
Their coach George Yfantopulos was nominated for
the Coach of the Year award.
The J.V. team also had a successful season making it
to the championship game. Congratulations to all our
