Welcoming our newest Marist LPP 5th grade families! ❤️📚

We hosted our New Student Family Orientation Dinner at Marist University, bringing together newly enrolled 5th graders, their families, and our LPP staff for an evening of connection, information, and community.

Families learned more about the Marist LPP and had the opportunity to sign up for our Transition to Middle School Summer Program this July! ☀️✏️

We are so excited to welcome this new group of students into the LPP family and can’t wait for all that’s ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening!

🎢☀️ What a way to celebrate an amazing year!

The Marist LPP annual end-of-year trip to Six Flags was well earned by our incredible LPP high school students! Throughout the year, students worked hard to pass all of their classes and stay committed to attending LPP programs and activities. Their dedication and perseverance paid off with a day full of fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 🎡🎠🎉

We are so proud of everything our students accomplished this year and can’t wait to see all they continue to achieve. Enjoy the summer you earned it! 💙❤️

Some of our Marist LPP 8th graders had an exciting visit to Poughkeepsie High School this week as they got a glimpse into their future with Marist LPP at PHS! 🎓✨

Students toured the LPP classroom, explored the library and gym, and visited the small cafeteria where the after-school program takes place. They also had the opportunity to hear some encouraging words of wisdom from their future 9th grade counselor, Mr. Conrad!

We are so proud of our students and can’t wait to see them grow into amazing high schoolers. The future is bright! 💙💛
