Last month, as we celebrated the members of the Class of 2020, we also made surprise visits to the homes of our 2020 Parent Volunteer Award recipients. Our first stop was at the home of Matt and Keli Beecroft. On May 30, their son Jack was the last of their three children to graduate from DeSales; now all five Beecrofts are officially SFD alumni: Matt '88, Keli '88, Connor '16, Kathryn '18, and Jack '20. For the better part of the last decade, they have shared their time, talent and treasure with our school, and the Be The Light Campus Master Plan.
Next, we surprised Terri Flora. Terri has proudly worn her purple and white over the last 11 years, supporting the school while also supporting her children, Jack '13, Sam '16, and Hannah '20. In 2015 she volunteered as the chair of the annual Casino Royale Dinner Auction, and continued in this role until this spring. Terri was also the Girls Soccer Parent Rep for the last two years.
Our final stop was at the home of Jenni Myers. Jenni is the parent of three DeSales alumni, Kate '13, Eric '16 and Chloe '20, and a proud alumna herself! She has served on the Parent Advisory Board and the Alumni Board and Council, and has volunteered countless hours with the Drama Department and SFD Band.
Our school has been so blessed to have these parents as a part of our community.

Lord, there are many kinds of blindness. We know that we are blind at times about what we should do or how we should live. In our blindness we often pass by someone who needs a kind word or a helping hand. Improve our vision so that we can be ready to see what you want us to do and whom you want us to help. Amen.
