From Cardinal Spellman

CARDINAL SPELLMAN HIGH SCHOOL Where boys and girls with dreamsbecome men and women of vision!

March 27, 2020 To All the Members of the Spellman Community, We wish to let everyone know that we, the Board of Trustees of Cardinal Spellman High School, are wholeheartedly committed to supporting our beloved Spellman Community particularly during this crisis. We are in an unprecedented time dealing with this virus that has truly altered our world. While the change and disruption is reflected in every aspect of our lives, perhaps most relevant here and now is the change being felt by our students and faculty where every class has abruptly moved to remote learning. We, the Board, are in awe at how quickly and adeptly the faculty, administration and students have transitioned to this uncharted teaching realm—and did so with all that is swirling around them. We, the Board, and all of the Spellman Community, applaud your amazing accomplishments here. You are proving what truly committed educators you are—and you are a true inspiration to us all. Nelson Mandela once said: “Education is the most powerful weapon that one can use to change the world”. We embrace that thought as we battle against COVID-19. We will make the most of the opportunities brought on by our new learning environment. This unwanted, yet incredible experience will prepare our students for future resilience, adaptability and success. For the duration of this crisis, Spellman will remain strong and positive. We have a long tradition of academic excellence and Spellman students and faculty, past and present, have a reputation for overcoming any challenge. Together we will make it through this crisis and be stronger as we go forward. Thank you all SO MUCH for your hard work and devotion to Cardinal Spellman and its students. On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Cardinal Spellman High School, Dan O’Connell President Board of Trustees

Art for Puerto Rico

As a native New Yorker, my ties to Puerto Rico are very near dear to my heart. Several of the women in my life after my mother passed away were all natives of this beautiful island. This summer, I lost the one woman who practically raised me. She taught me how to cook authentic Puerto Rican food. She was very close to my mother. She watched over my dad when I moved away. She was indeed my second mom.


September 19. Hurricane Maria, ravished the entire Caribbean coast, including PR. Electricity was already a problem due to infrastructure issues as well as due to the previous storm Irma.


I want to help the best way I can. That is with my art. Two organizations I have been observing that have been doing work since day one have been, Puerto Rico Relief Flight and United for Puerto Rico.

This is a non-profit used for fundraising reconstruction of Puerto Rico's Infrastructure. The non-profit was created for Puerto Rico as an initiative brought forth by the First lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rosselló

Based out of Palm Beach County this is a grassroots effort to airlift supplies to the people of Puerto Rico after the devastation of Hurricane Maria. We are asking for donations. They have already made three trips to the island delivering food, water, feminine hygiene products, toiletries etc.

Normally I would just write a check. However due to Hurricane Irma hitting us a week prior, I too lost work. Moreover, funds are scarce. However, there is a way to help. I am an artist. I decided to help in that way. If you purchase any of the pieces on this page, 50% of the proceeds will go to either one of these charities. Immediately.
