ADVANCING THE MISSION
Introducing Great Conversations 2020!
Great Conversations is our biennial fundraising event where guests come together to enjoy great food, great company and great conversations – all in support of a great cause! Proceeds help support the SCM Tuition Assistance Program , which provides tuition aid directly to St. Catherine’s families.

This event allows us to continue the legacy established our foundresses, Sister Shirley Owens, O.P.+ and Sister Edna Ann Hebert, O.P. , to educate children from all backgrounds and cultivate a diverse and inclusive school environment.

Check out the Great Conversations 2020 trailer below and make plans to join us on April 4th! It will be a memorable evening you won't want to miss. Seats are limited. Reserve yours now!

This is a final reminder to RSVP for the Pancake Breakfast. If your mouth is watering just thinking about eating a bunch of pancakes after a long marathon, then click this link to RSVP for the Pancake Breakfast and rest easy in the knowledge that you have a guaranteed meal waiting for you after your run. We will be holding the event in the St. Catherine’s gymnasium, and we want to have enough room for everybody!

This year the proceeds from the event will go towards our class trip to Hawaii. All year we have been studying American history in Humanities class and biodiversity in our Environmental Science class. Our trip to Hawaii will serve as the capstone to all the work we have done in both of these classes and will provide an opportunity for us to make connections to work we have done across all our other classes as well. It will be an opportunity for us to put all our accumulated knowledge into practice. If you would like to get any further details on the event you can contact us at [email protected]

Thank you for reading; we hope you’ll be back to read more next week!
