SAA Alumnae Association awarded the spirit stick for the best banner to the junior class!



We got a call a week ago from Dean Jenn that Cressey would be awarded the Dominican Torch Award at the school wide mass for St. Catherine's feast day and also in honor of Tom Hood's retirement. Four kids from the lower school who embody the Four Pillars are chosen each semester. We told grandparents but no one else. The girls sat with us for mass, and when they announced Cressey's name, they were both so surprised and HG hooped and hollered. I was worried that Cressey would freeze, but she stood up and walked up there. She stood there with the dean while President Hood read a whole lot of nice things that her classmates and teacher wrote. I was so proud of her!!! She shook for 10 mins afterward but was so honored.

Chace ran for VP of the student body, and he WON!!! We were so proud of how hard he worked!


Brandy came to spend some time with us, and Cressey couldn't WAIT to swim with her


We hosted a party for board members for President Hood's retirement, and while I didn't get a single person pic, I did love this one of our backyard all dressed up
