Friday is Founder’s Day



The McDonogh community will gather at the John McDonogh Monument on Friday, October 9 at 10:00 a.m. to celebrate Founder’s Day. During the ceremony, in accordance with John McDonogh’s wishes, children will “plant and water a few flowers” around his grave. Additionally, the school will pause to remember those who have gone before us, particularly those members of the McDonogh family who have passed during the previous year.
