This year’s 100-Days-Until-Graduation Breakfast was on February 27. The 100-Days Breakfast is a McQuaid Jesuit tradition where seniors have a breakfast one hundred days before they graduate.

Many teachers attended the breakfast, and high school principal Mr. John Serafine organized the event. The teachers who attended are also the same teachers that may have taught these students in their past years.

“Just because they leave seventh grade doesn’t mean they leave my care. I love seeing kids after they leave seventh grade. In eighth and ninth and all the way up to seniors,” middle school science teacher Mrs. Lisa Soprano said.

There were many activities such as raffles, where the seniors won gift cards and McQuaid T-shirts.

This McQuaid tradition celebrates how far the seniors have come through their journeys at McQuaid. According to Mr. Serafine, the breakfast is a good opportunity for students to reflect and prepare for the final stretch towards graduation.

Along with the tradition, McQuaid faculty and staff also served breakfast to the seniors.

The seniors have endured a long journey and were celebrated for their efforts at the breakfast. For some students, they have been in the school for over seven years, since sixth grade.

“There was a slideshow presentation showing some of the seniors’ sixth grade pictures,” senior class advisor and science teacher Mr. Bill Hochadel said.

At the end of the breakfast, the entire senior class posed for a group picture.
