In a week such as this, when I see volunteers spending hours upon hours at the Academy, I become speechless. Thank you does not quite capture the depth of my gratitude, but, it is all I have. THANK YOU!
THANK YOU for donating auction items, donating decorations (from wine bottles to a handmade cart!), for attending gift gathering parties, and for selling or buying ASH300 tickets.
THANK YOU for helping to put Silent Auction baskets together, for making calls for sponsorships, for being a Sponsor, for donating an Oral Auction item or for helping to ask for and package the Oral Auction items.
THANK YOU for coming each day to collect and count student raffle tickets, for supporting your children in selling their raffle tickets, for diligently entering information into BidPal, and for visioning and then creating the decorations for the night of the event itself.
THANK YOU for agreeing to help set up the tables today, for volunteering at or attending the auction (BOTH are important!), and for joining in the fun of helping to clean up on Sunday.
Most of all, THANK YOU for doing what you can to help support our school, our teachers, our students and this philosophy of education at this Academy named after the Heart of Christ through whom we come to know the Love of God!
Deep, prayerful and whole-hearted THANK YOU to each and every one,
—Sr. Glavin, rscj
