SISTER MARY AT
WMSG'S 10TH

YEAR CELEBRATION!

“If kids are even barely passing and we can connect with their parents, we take them,” says Sister Mary Bourdon in an article recently featured in The Washington Post. “We want the school to get inside the girls so they are not living in two worlds,” Bourdon says. “They get teased in their neighborhoods for wearing the uniform and carrying the books….” Washington Middle School for Girls is one of the ten non profit partners located at THEARC where Sister Mary is a familiar face.
