Melissa Miceli
Events Coordinator
Holy Child Academy
Old Westbury, NY

No event is ever the same. That’s what makes this job so unbelievably exciting!

Every month, I have the pleasure of bringing joy, love, big smiles, and, most of all, fun into so many lives. But all those things could not be possible without the faith, support, and community of our beautiful academy.

As the event coordinator here at Holy Child, I take true value in everything I do. From setting up for open house to Halloween parties for our middle school, the majority of the work is done by making connections with all our beloved families. I deeply appreciate each family and the relationships I have, not only with the parents, but also each child.

For each event, I set up a team of moms and dads willing to volunteer their time. This makes each event special in its own way. At each event, parents get to see behind the scenes and how much work goes into our planning. This is essential to the building of our community and events. Working together, bonding, laughing, and most of all, having the same values as each other. Before you know it, you're hanging out together and cooking dinner with each other's families on the weekend. It’s truly special.

I never take any day at Holy Child Academy for granted. I will always treasure my relationships. My biggest flaw about this job is never shutting my brain off, lol. The ideas, the flow, the meaning, and the love I put into this job are not only for me but for every single family at our school. I believe in our mission, I believe in our faith, but most of all, I believe in myself to get Holy Child the best it can be, one event at a time. “The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members” - it truly takes a village, and Holy Child Academy will forever be my village.

Amen and God bless.
