Greetings Dear Maryite Sisters!

150 Years of Excellence

“No Excellence Without Hard Labor!”

Greetings Dear Maryite Sisters!

Our 2017–2018 school year was remarkable and memorable!  We celebrated the 150th Anniversary of St. Mary’s Academy and as promised, we drew Maryites from near and far to SMA to commemorate this milestone in our history.  The excitement was high, with our Alumnae Marching Unit sounding off on Chef Menteur Highway and waves from our beautiful Alumnae Homecoming Queen, Giselle Boswell Allen, ’83, and Miss SMA, Karen Matthews Brooks, ’80, who, by the way, together raised over $20, 000 for our Blue and Gold Ball Event!  This was only a fraction of the many activities our Maryite family celebrated!

As we continue to build on our one hundred-and-fifty-one year legacy, we realize that it really does take a village.  Each and every Alumna can play a part in the life of our beloved school.  I’m happy to report that many of us do!

This past August, St. Mary’s Academy Alumnae Association awarded scholarships and tuition assistance to twelve students.  We accomplished this by the hard work and generosity of loyal Maryites who understand how necessary it is for all of us to do our part.

Homecoming 2018 is right around the corner!  Mark your calendar!  November 9-11, 2018!  We are looking forward to hearing from Maryites around the world.  If this is a reunion year for your class (Class year ending in 3’s and 8’s), plan to join us at Homecoming!  The events are so much fun and it’s always great to see everyone!

Today, I invite you to renew your active membership or become an active member of St. Mary’s Academy Alumnae Association.  Membership dues help defray the operational cost of the association (not salaries) and assist us in reaching our goals for the year.  Mail your annual fee of $50 today or submit online www.smaneworleans.com.  Also, take a minute to update your information using the form at the bottom of this letter.

God bless you for your commitment to St. Mary’s Academy!

Sincerely,

Connie Whitfield-Fitch, ’69
