Saluting 100 years of parochial education at BVM

Here's everything you need to know about the "little school that could."

That would be Blessed Virgin Mary School in Darby Borough. Or, as almost everyone refers to it, simply 'BVM.'

When they opened the doors to the school back in 1917, 195 students were enrolled. Today, despite all the problems parochial schools have encountered in eastern Delaware County, the school boasts an enrollment of 185.

That's called staying power.

They held a celebration at the parish Sunday to take note of 100 years of Catholic education.

We salute BVM on today's editorial page. You can read it here.
