Founder’s Day Remembers

Torrential rains drove the McDonogh community indoors for the annual Founder’s Day ceremony on October 11; but the soggy weather did not affect the meaning of the day set aside to honor John McDonogh and members of the community who passed away during the past year. The reverent ceremony included performances by the Lower School Choir, Upper School Concert Choir, and Senior Singers. As each person was remembered, a flower was placed at the base of a makeshift monument and a bell tolled in their memory.
