This past Thursday, May 2, Stuart hosted our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, also known as "Thanks-A-Latte." Stuart was happy to host many parent volunteers and offer them fresh brewed espresso drinks from the talented Benfatto Coffee baristas! Dr. Fagin, Christen Jones, and outgoing SPA President, Ludwig Zebrauskas, all shared their thanks for the incredible amount of time and effort that Stuart parents put into our school.

On Friday, October 5, 150 current and past parents, faculty/staff members, and alumnae gathered for the Sunset Shindig fundraiser. The event was planned and hosted by current parents Kathleen Mandzij and Noelle Ridings. Guests enjoyed the tunes of the Blue Jersey Band while sampling meals from multiple different food trucks and drinks from a bar housed in a vintage Winnebago camper.

The Global Day of Service marked the 200th anniversary of the day Philippine opened the first Sacred Heart school in the New World, the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles, Missouri. Stuart partnered with PASH and SPA to provide a really fun and meaningful day for our families! Students and families from both schools all received a "passport to service" to spend the afternoon visiting with 20 tables of service organizations filled with activities for students and parents to participate in.

Throughout the past year, more than 200 volunteers engaged with Stuart to help advance our mission and to support our girls. Today Dr. Fagin thanked volunteers at the Thanks-a-Latte Luncheon to honor and thank the many trustees, parents, alumnae and friends who donated their time, expertise, and support to help Stuart thrive. Current SPA President Eileen Glanton introduced incoming President Ludwig Zebrauskas and gave out special awards to Jaclyn Trzaska and Jennifer Teaney for going above and beyond the call of duty!
