From the Alumnae Association President Dear Friends of MSJA: A new school year…a time for new beginnings, new friendships, and new memories. It is also a time to reflect upon our lives in a meaningful way. As students enter the campus each day, they are working diligently to shape themselves into confident young women who wish to be leaders in our communities and in our world. In my role as Alumnae Board President, I challenge myself to work with others to foster relationships and strengthen our Mount Alumnae Association. It is important that every young woman who attends Mount Saint Joseph Academy understands that she is an integral part of the 6,194-member worldwide network of alumnae. We must carry our message proudly whether it be through mail, Facebook, Google, Instagram, email, or face-to-face contact. Our actions, our demeanor, and our lives speak volumes of our heritage.
In order to keep our Mount Alumnae community thriving, there are many people who work behind the scenes in various ways. Recently, the hard work of alumnae has been witnessed at our Golden Girls Luncheon that was filled with laughter and many fun recollections. Green Valley Country Club was the scene where golfers, benefactors, and volunteers enjoyed one another at the annual Golf Outing. The Founders’ Day celebration in October was the perfect time to recall the wonderful Sisters of St. Joseph who have sown the seeds into so many of our lives. Our Open House for prospective students was held on October 16th. We were blessed to have so many of our alumnae, parents, administrators, and students welcome prospective young women and their families. On October 22, 2016, many participated in our Third Annual “Miles of Magic 5K,” which raises money for the Stephanie Leonards Roman Scholarship. The year has been filled and we continue to be blessed by this wonderful gift, our Mount Alumnae Association. I look forward to seeing you at the various events in the remainder of 2016 and in 2017. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your President. I so appreciate your continuing support. Think hard about how we can partner to strengthen and grow our association. I look with excitement as I go into my final year as your President. May God continue to bless you and those you love with good health and much happiness.
