According to mptcs.org : "Our School: The Marion P. Thomas Charter School (MPTCS) is the largest independently- operated free public charter school in Newark, NJ. MPTCS was established in 1999 by a group of individuals who were born and raised in Newark and wanted to provide the best possible educational experience for the next generation of Newarkers. The school is one of the only minority-led charter schools in Newark, reflecting both its student population and the community it serves. Since 1999, MPTCS has grown from four classrooms to four campuses and now serves more than 1, 300 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade." According to njbiz.com: "... a brief recap of the day, which started with remarks by Mayor Cory Booker at St. Patrick's Pro-Cathedral followed by a memorial mass celebrated by Most Rev. John W. Flesey. The rite of investiture, also held at the church, is an official recognition of the parade's key players: Grand Marshall Patrick Dunican and his chief of staff Noreen Giblin, and Deputy Grand Marshall DSFC Eileen Gilleece and her chief of staff Kerri O'Rourke Arrington. At the grandstand ceremony on Mulberry Street, Dunican, chairman and managing director at Gibbons, spoke about feeling honored to be grand marshal as an Irishman at a law firm founded by an Irishman. Gilleece, with the State Police, commented that St. Patrick's Day ranks close to Christmas in her home. Parade participants included business executives and leaders from Newark nonprofits, plus school bands and civic groups. Dunican’s alma mater, Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y., was also represented yesterday with Iona President Joseph Nyre participating and the college’s band marching. Organizers said the 78th Newark parade raised more than $100, 000 for area charities. The parade is managed by a committee of volunteers led by General Chairman Michael Byrne, a political consultant."
