Making SRLA Proud
 
Three Ravens were honored by the Archdiocese of Newark at the 2024 CYO Athletic Recognition Ceremony this past weekend at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark.
 
Eighth Graders Mallie Farmer and Harcourt Lucius II received the Sportsmanship Award for displaying outstanding sportsmanship through service and actions on and off the athletic field. In addition, the Archdiocesan Adult Discipleship Award was presented to SRLA parent and basketball coach Chris Fay in appreciation and gratitude for his commitment to SRLA's students and athletics. Congratulations and well done!
