ALUMNI NEWS
Alumni in the News
Last week, St. Francis alumni, Ryan McMahon who graduated in 2009, made local and national news as he was called up to the Colorado Rockies' major league baseball club and had his first hit for the organization.

Check out our St. Francis Alumni In the News section on our website for more on McMahon and other stories of success featuring St. Francis graduates.

Do you have good news to share about our alumni?  We would love to hear from you.   Please send articles to  aclewett@sfayl.org .
Class Representatives Needed
As we approach the 20th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School we are expanding the scope and scale of our Alumni Association. Going forward, each graduating class will have a Chairperson.  The role does not require an excessive amount of time or work.  We would simply like to streamline our communication with our alumni and be sure we are providing beneficial experiences.  Having a point person for each class will help us maintain a good understanding of interests and needs. 
 
If you would like to represent your class, please contact SFAYL Communications Coordinator, Allison Clewett
