ALUMNAE GATHERING

October 31, 2007

at the New York Athletic Club

Aquinas High School had a wonderful ‘first’ on Tuesday, October 30.  It was an evening at the New York Athletic Club arranged by club member Kathleen Rooney O’Brien ’62 and attended by about fifty alumnae spanning the decades from the fifties to the current time.

Sr. Margaret Ryan welcomed everyone and narrated the PowerPoint presentation which mingled scenes of Aquinas yesterday and today, highlighting fundamental belief statements affirmed by the school community.

Stephanie Rodriguez and Devaneke Crumpler ’08 spoke about their Aquinas experience and all that their sponsors’ generosity had make available to them.

Sr. Catherine Rose Quigley gave some insights into the process of renewal of accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools which Aquinas has just successfully completed.

The evening was a happy combination of old ties and a new setting.  The general feeling was “Let’s do it again!”

We believe that women's strengths and women's voices have a vital role in today's complex and changing world...

This conviction underlies our hopes for the graduates of Aquinas High School.  As we begin the 2007-2008 school year, we ask that you recommit yourselves to the mission and beliefs of Aquinas.  By your gift, please help us to achieve our goal of for this year.  The Annual fund will provide: tuition support for needy students, ongoing refurbishment of the building, upgrading of technology, and expansion of math and science programs.  Thank you for lending your voice and your support to the mission of Aquinas.

Aquinas counts on the support of alumnae. Year after year, important goals are reached because generous gifts supplement the income which tuition provides.

The $375,000 we seek this year will fund tuition grants for needy students, provide lap-top computers for use in the classroom, and continue renovation of the building exterior.

The Annual Campaign ends on June 30. If you have not already done so, please send a gift within your means to share in the mission of Aquinas today.

WAYS TO HELP

Just as alumnae are proud of their Alma Mater, Aquinas is proud of the accomplishments of its alumnae throughout and beyond the United States. The generosity of alumnae is a major support of Aquinas' mission to the young women of New York City today.

Career Forum
The Sophomore Class participates in the Future Options Forum each year. Students have the opportunity to meet with panelists and receive information and suggestions in career areas of their choice. Most of the panelists are alumnae, and the forum and luncheon which follows provide a gathering of Aquinas women making a difference in many paths of life. The 2007 Future Option Forum is held each year in March. If you would like to share your career experience and offer suggestions to Aquinas 10th graders, please call the school Development Office. Panelists are assured of a great welcome from an enthusiastic group of young women.

Aquinas Welcomes
FIRST LADY

You might have thought "What could top this?" when Aquinas appeared on the cover of U.S. News & World Report's issue on outstanding schools, or when the Blue Ribbon of Excellence was awarded to Aquinas for the second time. But just imagine being a student in the Aquinas auditorium when Sr. Margaret Ryan walked to the podium and said "Please rise and greet the First Lady of the United States of America!"
