The 2009-2010 Alumni Annual Fund Drive raised money to purchase new flat panel monitors for all classrooms, including the library. The children wrote thank you cards expressing their gratitude to all SMS Alumni.


On October 4, 2008, approximately 285 alumni of St. Mary School celebrated the school's 80th anniversary with an all school reunion. Festivities kicked off with 4:30 Mass where former St. Mary student, Bishop Mengling was the main celebrant along with former pastor Msgr. Zollinger, Fr. Yadron, Fr. Mens and Deacon Bacon. An open house was held at the school after Mass where alumni had a chance to walk through and see the changes that have been made through the years to the school. Dinner followed at Hildebrandt Hall with a slide show of old photos. Attendees enjoyed the silent auction and class basket raffle but probably most enjoyed just catching up with old friends and classmates. Below is a collage of photos from the event.
