We continually pray to steward your gifts wisely and
the results have been amazing. Thanks to you, great
things are happening here at St. Mary’s. Enrollment is
increasing. The freshman class at 109 is the
largest class in the past 6 years. Our students
continue to perform outstanding in the classroom. St. Mary’s is ranked 21st out of 128 schools in the
Western New York area in Business First. St.
Mary’s moved up more than 30 spots this year.
Your support has been a great blessing. The
Annual Fund for 2007-2008 brought in more that
$200,000, up from $30,000 in 2004.
In the previous issue I asked that you pray for our
students and their development. I want to thank you
for praying and encourage you to continue. Seniors
have gone on to some of the most prestigious colleges
in the country and come back with stories of
success. Students are discovering talents they did
not know they had. They are serving the community
of Lancaster by planting bulbs, visiting the senior
center, volunteering at youth tournaments, and
assisting local organizations with fundraising efforts. It is amazing to see what these young students are able
to accomplish when they share their talent and effort with
others.
You have helped St. Mary’s create and cultivate
a school that encourages servant leadership.
People are looking for ways to help classmates
and achieve the success that is within reach.
They are taking ownership to make certain that our
hallways are filled with examples of respect and
kindness. They are meeting challenges head-on
and reaching new levels of success.
