A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT |
Dear Alumni and FOB (Friends of Borgia),
With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas and New Year's coming up, it is a busy time here on campus. Finals are underway, winter sports are in full force, and everyone has gotten in the spirit of looking for Borgia's own Elf on a Shelf, Carl, who finds hiding places throughout campus during the Christmas season. Preparations are under way for our annual Legacy Gala (coming up on February 18, 2023) and will kick into high gear when we return in early January. Students, faculty, and staff will enjoy a well-deserved holiday break immediately after finals end on December 20.
It is also the time of year when our Annual Fund appeals are mailed out across the country to alums and other friends of our school. Our students' intellectual and spiritual growth, provided at one of the lowest tuition levels of any private school in the St. Louis region, depends on the largesse of our families and friends. We appreciate your support and hope you will continue to assist our school and our mission of providing the best possible value in Catholic secondary education.
I hope you have a blessed and cheerful Christmas season and a joyous and prosperous 2023. God bless you.
Sincerely,
Matt Schutte
President, St. Francis Borgia HS
