Dear Alumni,

It has been a busy month at the school. Here are a few exciting things going on at St. Elizabeth ...

Dedication Photos

The new Science Center is now in use! The dedication on February 2 was a wonderful ceremony with many in attendance. You can view photos of the event at http://www.steliznyc.org/photos.asp.

Regional Reunions Being Planned

A few of our alums are planning reunions for those in their region. Mike O'Connell '63 is hoping to host a get-together in New Hampshire this summer for all St. Elizabeth alumni now living in New England, or any one who would like to make the trip up. Please email him at okie6349@earthlink.net.

Arelia Yanes (arelia.yanes@mch.com) and Marisel Mollinedo Velez (mariselvelez@aol.com) are planning a reunion for alumni from Miami, Florida and/or the Class of 1966. Please email them for more information.

If you would like to plan your own regional or class reunion, please contact me at officedev@steliznyc.org for a class list and publicity. The classes of 1956 and 1981 have their golden and silver anniversary years in 2006!

Registration for new students has begun. In the tradition of St. Elizabeth School since 1936, we hope to make it possible for parents who want a Catholic school education for their children to be able to do so regardless of their financial resources. Please join us in making this possible, by contributing to our Sponsor a Student Program at http://www.steliznyc.org/scholarship.asp. Partial gifts to the fund are also welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for your prayers and support and may God bless you and your families.

Sincerely,

Jenny Kaeppner
