Dear Gator Moms,

It's hard to believe that the year is almost over and Graduation is only 13 days away! In reflecting on this last year, it is amazing how much we have accomplished: an amazing Xavier Mom's Retreat, a super successful Auction, a beautiful Holiday Faculty Luncheon, an incredible Fashion Show, special events for our seniors: Senior Treats and the Senior Mother Daughter Mass and breakfast, mother/daughter events, class social events, faith based events, and special Mothers-only events . I want to extend a special thank you to our Board and event chairs for making this year so great! And a special thanks to the Mothers' Guild staff for everything you do!

I am so excited for Kelli Grove (Harper, 2029 and Henley, 2030) to take over as the Mothers' Guild President for next year. Our incoming Board is amazing, and they are already busy planning for the upcoming year!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Mothers' Guild President. The most rewarding part of the job has been getting to know all of you. Our girls really do have the most amazing Moms!

I hope to see you all at our last meeting -- May 5th at 6:30pm in Founders!

With love,

Andrea Tazioli, Mothers' Guild President
