1. Superdance 2012
MAGGIE STIEVATER

2. Origin
 This fundraiser was started in 1975 by Father
McMurtrie (the principal at the time) and a
student, Maura O’Donnell, whose sister had recently
passed away from CF
 Maura and her friends started this great tradition
and it has certainly united all Bishop O’Connell
students, families, and alumni
 Maura herself died from Cystic Fibrosis a few years
later, along with many of her brothers and sisters
 The last remaining O’Donnell offspring graduated
from O’Connell this past May

3. Theme
 The theme of Superdance 2012 was “This
is….SUPERDANCE!” and was revealed at the
Superdance Assembly held a month before the actual
dance
 Since the theme was Roman-esque, committee
members wore gladiator wear or togas with olive
branches for the Assembly and the t-shirts designed
for the dance had armor drawn on them

6. Our Annual Guest Speakers

and come to the Assembly each year past what he imagined, came back to
to speak and the Dance to have fun share his story with O’Connell students
