The Distinguished Graduate Award honors a graduate of Catholic Elementary School who has made a contribution to American life and the Catholic Church.
The award is offered yearly through the National Catholic Education Association. It is presented by the Saint Mary Magdalen School Board during Catholic Schools Week.
Last Friday during the all school Mass, Saint Mary Magdalen honored their Distinguished Graduate for 2016, Judy Van Cleave Chiodini, a 1965 graduate of St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School. Chiodini was honored for her service and dedication to the faith, parish and school by her work as the parish business manager, her work on the capital campaign and her work with school projects. She does much behind the scenes and all of her work is truly appreciated. Congratulation Judy!
