The fourth annual In Vino Veritas was a huge success!  This year's event raised nearly $150,000 towards scholarships for our students to continue the Nativity journey.  Thank you to Archmere Academy for hosting this year's event.  We look forward to seeing all of you again next year at our fifth annual wine and art auction. 

We want to extend a special thank you to the In Vino Veritas committee and the committee chair Nadine Carrick.  Nadine and her committee worked tirelessly to make this event a success.  In addition we want to thank all those who donated items, food, wine, sponsorship, and time.  This event and the mission of Nativity Prep are not possible without your continued and most generous support.  We hope you will continue to partner with us in the years to come.

The Oblates of St. Francis de Sales established Nativity Preparatory School in September of 2003. This Catholic middle school serves low-income boys of all faiths in grades five through eight. All students attend the school tuition-free and are selected based on their demonstrated superior discipline and work ethic. Each grade is limited to 10-15 students. Staffed by volunteers and Oblates, Nativity seeks to promote the intellectual, spiritual, athletic, and social development of its students. Ultimately, its graduates will win scholarships to the area’s finest high schools.  We welcome you to our web site and invite you to read all about Nativity Prep and how you can be involved in helping to shape the future of its scholars.  Nativity Preparatory School of Wilmington is truly a place where gifts flourish every day.


Nativity Prep featured on National Public Radio
 

Nativity Prep recently hosted NPR Reporter Claudio Sanchez for a three-day visit. After getting friendly with many of our 8th graders, Claudio filed the following story featuring our own Byron and Darren:

All Things Considered, March 14, 2006 · In Wilmington, Del., the attrition rate for African-American boys in public schools is alarmingly high -- six out of 10 eventually drop out. A middle school created more than two years ago is having remarkable success in helping low-income African-Americans students overcome years of educational neglect.
