Message from our Interim President | |
|
Dear Carondelet Community,
We are excited to welcome parents back to campus for Thursday’s Back to School Night! As we kick off the year with our newly hired Parent Engagement Manager, Candi Mannoni, we hope this is the first of many opportunities for parents to get involved at Carondelet in a meaningful way. Student schedules were sent out to families last Wednesday, and we will send out a more detailed communication this week.
We had an event-packed Welcome Week that culminated in a spirited rally and joint dances—the energy and school pride is always palpable during these amazing events! At our Welcome to the Sisterhood Liturgy, all freshmen and transfer students received their Sisterhood Bracelets and were officially welcomed to our community by the upper classes. This beautiful tradition serves as our first Eucharistic mass of the year, and provides our community the opportunity to break bread with one another and pass on our charism of unifying love to the newest members of our school.
We have a unique schedule this week, with a late start on Tuesday and a faculty/staff Professional Day on Friday to transition into the long weekend. Please see more details above.
Again, we look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening. Our administration will be assisting in the halls and Inner Court, so please stop by and say hello.
In Unifying Love,
Jessica Mix
Interim President

Tree Sponsors Needed
Ever wonder how the magical trees appear each year at Visions of Christmas? They come from generous sponsors in our community! Each tree is a visual feast adorned with amazing gifts ranging from technology to trips, wine to wellness, and even tuition! The tradition of the tree drawing is in its 33rd year and we would be honored to have you participate this season. Think about joining forces with friends to create a tree theme...
If you would like to be a part of this magic and sponsor a tree as a business, individual, or part of a group please contact Audrey Richardson for more information.

|
Generous donors who make annual gifts of $1,965 or more in an academic year are invited to a reception with our Interim President and recognized in Many the Gifts as members of the 1965 Society, commemorating the year of Carondelet's founding.
We invite those who aren't already members to join today by making a gift of $1,965 or more. In honor of your generosity, you'll immediately receive an invitation to our Cocktail Reception on September 8.
Your philanthropy makes an immediate and lasting impact on our students, faculty, staff, and families in the community. Tuition covers approximately 90% of our annual budget, and we rely on our community's generosity to bridge this gap by making an annual gift of $1,965.
Please reach out to the Carondelet Fund Director Lynne Sabbagha Kenny '86 P'24 to review your giving history or learn more about this donor society.
Thank you to our current and future members!
