ANNUAL REPORT<br />
We are blessed and thankful for your<br />
enthusiasm and love <strong>of</strong> St. Cecilia<br />
Academy. The tradition <strong>of</strong> excellence<br />
continues thanks to you. As we<br />
approach our 150th anniversary<br />
celebration, your gifts allow us to<br />
educate the women leaders <strong>of</strong><br />
tomorrow. Please see a detailed listing<br />
by class <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the <strong>alumnae</strong> gifts<br />
received this year.<br />
Our commitment to our mission grows<br />
even stronger in challenging times when<br />
the needs <strong>of</strong> those we are charged<br />
to help are even greater. Your support<br />
becomes even more critical to our<br />
ability to continue fulfilling our mission.<br />
It has helped sustain and grow our<br />
effectiveness in reaching out to those in<br />
need <strong>of</strong> financial assistance. This fall,<br />
we have a 12% increase in enrollment.<br />
We feel truly blessed to be able to<br />
assist financially nearly 40% <strong>of</strong> the St.<br />
Cecilia Academy population.<br />
Another new endowed scholarship<br />
created this year is the Harris<br />
Scholarship established by the Bodell<br />
Family to provide qualified need-based<br />
tuition assistance up to $5,000 per year<br />
to an incoming freshman from Christ<br />
the King Parish School with the greatest<br />
identified need. Awards from the Harris<br />
Scholarship will not exceed the full cost<br />
Class <strong>of</strong> 2009 graduate Kelly Bodell and her mother Suzanne Bodell enjoy the senior breakfast before<br />
Baccalaureate Mass.<br />
<strong>of</strong> tuition and fees after considering any<br />
other financial aid awarded from other<br />
sources including federal and state<br />
programs.<br />
Thank you again to everyone who has<br />
supported St. Cecilia Academy in any<br />
way this year. This has been an<br />
amazing year to serve St. Cecilia<br />
Academy. If you would like more<br />
