A Note from the Alumni Office | |
|
The school year may be winding down, but at St. Gabriel, we are still ramping up! The Spring Carnival is this weekend, May 3-4 at SG; Tiny Knights, Kindergarten, and 8th Grade graduations are just weeks away; and a new spirit gear store is in the works to be launched this summer!
Also, since the 75th Anniversary celebration, the need and desire for an archival project of photos and memorabilia has become a reality! If you have items to contribute, or would like to help with scanning photos and organizing and labeling memorabilia items, please reach out to me!
Warmest Regards,
Georgia Wasley Haris ‘05
Director of Advancement

One of our Own
Dear SG Community,
I hope this message finds you well and filled with the same spirit of compassion and support that defines our school community. This is an opportunity for us to come together and make a tangible difference in the life of one of our own.
Erica Major, mom of 3 boys here at SG, has been diagnosed with a rare blood disease and is in desperate need of an HLA match.
In solidarity with Erica and her family, we have the opportunity to extend our support in a meaningful way by joining the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) database to find Erica a match.
You can text “StandwithErica” to 61474 to register for your free swab kit (18-40 years) and complete within the comfort of your home. More information.
| |
Please keep Erica and the Major family in your prayers. | |
