AlumniLetter

Dear St. Mary's Alumni:

The St. Mary's Staff and students would like to thank you for your continued support and prayers through the years. As you know, we are in the first phase of our building project (process). The students, staff, and parents are excited about the new opportunities this expansion brings our way. We appreciate your **support** in Catholic Education and the building project. The financial support from you has provided the students at SMS with a **faith-enriched, quality education that will continue to benifit children for many years. (yikes, I hate this)**

Soon school will be in session for another year, and one of our major fundraisers is the Minnesota Nonpublic School Marathon. The students will raise money in pledges for walking two to six miles throughout our community, depending on grade level. **(Do we state our goal here??)**The money raised from the Marathon is used for the running of our school. This opportunity allows St. Mary's students to work together and reach out to others to assist in providing for the success of our school. It is a great day to show our pride for St. Mary's School!

We are in the midst of the planning stages our 3rd Annual St. Mary's Marathon. During this economically challenging time, we are asking any alumni ....**(I am not good at this part!) to help show their support of St. Mary's School by donating towards our annual Marathon. Any donation would be appreciated by the St. Mary's School family.**
