St
Mary School Class Reunion
A
Reunion of students who had ever attended St Mary School was held
several years ago. At that time a committee was formed to
oversee a fund that was derived from the reunion proceeds. The fund
was designated to preserve and provide for the future care of St.
Mary School and a memorial section in the building.
Memories of the Reunion
were activated as the committee proceed with the 'honors and memory'
section that will become a permanent fixture on the walls in the
main hall. Names of each student, friend, and/or religious to
be memorialized. The 4x4 ceramic tiles will be engraved.
Each includes the logo (Ram's Head) from the St. Mary School Rampage
Newsletter, the name of the person and their relation to the school.
Any former students or anyone wishing to be included in the memory
section may order a tile for $35.
