Important Notes from last month:

 

We are looking forward to the 75^th Anniversary which we will celebrate in the Spring of 2011.  This promises to be a very special day and we are looking forward to many of our alumni returning to St. Elizabeth.

 

For this reason, we will not be hosting any individual class reunions at the school during the coming year except the 50^th Anniversary for the Class of 1960 to be held on October 17^th.  Chairpersons Theresa Fenwick and Eileen Parker are working very hard to round up their classmates.  If you are member of the Class of 1960, please email me your new address and email so I can forward it to them.

 

The Peace Garden Dedication, originally scheduled for the Spring, has been postponed until certain structural problems have been resolved.  We apologize for the delay but want to be sure that all is in perfect shape for our ceremony.
