RIVERSIDE — More than 500 guests were in attendance to celebrate St. Mary Academy – Bay View’s 150th anniversary recently at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Representatives from 58 classes, spanning eight decades, were among those who attended the Bay View 150th Anniversary Gala, which raised more than a record $1 million for scholarships at the all-girls Catholic school in East Providence.
“For a century and a half, Bay View has been a place where young women are empowered to lead lives of purpose and make a meaningful difference in the world. This legacy has shaped generations of women with strength, compassion, and vision — women who are now leaders, innovators, and changemakers,” said Bay View President Amy Gravell (class of ’93). “We are committed to making a Bay View education accessible to all girls who dream of being a part of our sisterhood. Every dollar raised will go toward scholarships, bridging opportunity and access for young women to carry the mission forward.”
