A Serra family story.

The School Day Begins! Serra Does Not Stop!
|
You are among the many if you click here to watch the beginning of the online school day today at Serra.
 
Times have changed a little.
How many remember the song "School Days."
"School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule Days
'Reading and writing and rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick"
School Days was written in 1907, recorded by many.
Might want to find Louis Jordan's 1949 version on You Tube. |

The ALL HAIL! Campaign. How can we get everyone to read this? And produce the Miracle on Van Ness Ave.

Wish we didn't have to make this ask, but we do. We lost planned revenue from the Cavalier Classic Golf Tournament, the '80s and the Old-Timers/Legends Reunions. So we are asking Serra's Alumni to match last year's record setting and needed donations.

Find out more about the certificates below.
We all likely know the situation in schools like Serra in normal times. In the present situation we have a percentage of families who have lost jobs or have had to shutter their businesses and, suddenly, tuition payments became an issue. Schools like Serra depend on tuition.
What do we do to make up the Alumni lost revenue?
The Advancement/Alumni Office and the Alumni Association developed the "ALL HAIL" Campaign to raise funds to help families who found themselves in difficult situations financially.
We established a goal for the Alumni. That goal is to raise as much as we did last year. $250,845.44. By meeting the goal, we help a lot of Serra's families and you will become a member of a Serra record setting team!
About the certificates. All Alumni who have donated throughout the year will
receive a
personalized certificate recognizing their
participation on the 2019-20 record setting team.
If we set the record.
