Our teachers spent the summer enhancing their mastery and expanding their instructional impact across subjects. Several completed ACT Instructional Mastery credentials. Some earned AP Certifications while others trained in TestBright ACT/SAT Curriculum. One faculty member completed ASCA Training to better support student transitions into high school.
Our world language faculty deepened cultural immersion abroad. Dr. Loreque Colimon studied French language and culture at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Vivian Coutin explored Spain from Santiago de Compostela to Salamanca, and Maria Vargas spent a month in Madrid. Cabrini faculty also represented the school at the national AP Annual Conference in Boston.
Student Crescents made their mark across the city, nation, and globe through Xavier University’s dual enrollment program, Xavier University’s College of Pharmacy and Tulane University’s neuroscience program.
Other students trained with Broadway Artists Alliance and made sure to make time for a visit to the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine, as well. Student leadership flourished at Louisiana Girls State and at the Louisiana Youth Seminar.
From Brussels and Madrid to Broadway and Louisiana leadership camps, Cabrini students spent the summer expanding their knowledge, talents, and personal impact. Our faculty and students’ collective efforts inspired our community and ensured the 2025 school year began with energy, confidence, and pride.

As each child entered the room, they were greeted by resident, Sr. Wilda Asfour, who provided bags in which the children collected their bounty. All of the items were coordinated by category to make the selection process easy.
Knitting Group at Cabrini Immigrant Services (CIS) - Dobbs Ferry, NY continues to work on outreach projects that benefit others. The group crocheted sixty octopuses for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Octopus Project. The octopuses are given to premature babies to provide them with comfort. The babies hold on to the tentacles, which 
resemble an umbilical cord. This helps to calm the baby down. It also distracts them from pulling on their medical equipment. In addition to comfort and security, it has been found that the babies who hold the octopus experience better breathing, more regular heart rates and improved oxygen levels.
