Dear Alumni,

 

 

A new school year has started and we are very excited to report that we have a total enrollment of 406 students.  New this school year, we added a PreK (4) year old program.  Parents can choose either a five-day a week, full day class or a five-day a week, half-day class.  Remember when you were in 8^th grade and became a big buddy to a kindergarten student.  Now our 7^th grade students are big buddies to our Pre(K) students and get to keep their buddy for two years.

 

Alumni are an important resource for recruiting students.  Studies have shown that prospective students and/or their parents will often first hear about a school from one of its “satisfied customers” – a student, parent or alumnus.  While advertising and holding Open Houses are good recruitment tools, there is no substitute for referrals from a school’s alumni.

 

If you’re reading this, your probably one of our graduates, and don’t realize what an  important role you play in the life of St. Philip Neri School.  I invite all our alumni to help us recruit students for the 2010-2011 school year.  Open Houses will be held on November 18, 2009 from 8:30-11:30am, January 31, 2010 from 10:30am to Noon and February 4, 2010 from 8:30-11:30am.  Or simply invite families to visit our website at:  www.st.philip-neri.org.

 

Save the date…an Alumni Reunion is being planned for Saturday, November 14, 2009 here in the Msgr. Zorbach Hall.  If anyone would like to help out, email me at:  hildebrand@st.philip-neri.org.

 

 

Sincerely,
