POSTCARD FROM FONTBONNE
September 11, 2020
Dear Fontbonne Alumnae, 

It has been a very exciting and fulfilling week on the Fontbonne campus. The Adult Learning Community welcomed back all of our students for our Opening Days. This time continues to be unprecedented and we have reimagined much of the campus, but nothing can diminish the energy and bright lights the young women of Fontbonne bring into the school building.

I am grateful for the continued support of our distinguished Alumnae community. Without you Fontbonne would not continue to educate and inspire remarkable girls and further the mission of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. I look forward to the day we can welcome you back on campus to see for yourself the inclusive and dynamic community of Fontbonne 2020.

As I mentioned in my last note, we are building an Alumnae Leadership Council with a representative from each class. The role of the Class Ambassador will be to: promote connection between classmates and Fontbonne; promote connections between classmates; and to coordinate class activities, or recruit others in the class to coordinate class activities, including reunions, fundraising and special events. If you would like more information or to possibly join the Council, please connect with Yarice Hidalgo, Interim Executive Director.

Many Blessings,
SUCCESSFUL & SAFE OPENING DAYS ON CAMPUS
During our Opening Days this week, all students were educated on our COVID-19 protocols, procedures and guidelines. They were also given the chance to tour the building, learn the new movement plan, walk through their schedules and meet all of their teachers.  We are confident our resilient community will continue to work together as one during this uncertain time. 
GET YOUR FONTBONNE GEAR!
The Fontbonne Pop-Up Shop is now open!!! We are excited to offer our community a new line of gear to show off your Fontbonne pride. We love it and hope you will too.

The store is open through Friday, September 18, 2020. All orders will ship from College Hype on Wednesday, October 7, 2020. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Simmons.
2ND ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
"A MATCH FOR KATCH"
We are getting very excited for the 2nd Annual "A Match For Katch" Golf Tournament at the Blue Hill Country Club in Canton. In the video below, Sr. Betsy Conway CSJ shares with us the impact Sue Katchpole had on the Fontbonne community.

We look forward to seeing you on the course or virtually on Monday, October 26th and celebrating Sue's memory. Questions or how to get involved? Please contact Jen O'Brien in the Advancement office at Fontbonne (617)615-3003.
THE 2020 FUND FOR COVID RELIEF
A safe return to school for Fontbonne amid the pandemic has also proven to be very costly. The safety of our students and staff is our main priority. Some of these costs include technology upgrades, the purchase of PPE and reconfiguring our building to keep our students safe, as well as providing an unprecedented amount of tuition assistance.

We are addressing these costs by establishing a special 2020 Fund for Covid Relief. Please support your alma mater, and the students and families navigating high school and so much more.
