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 />

information about ways to make a gift<br />

to SCA either as an annual fund gift,<br />

endowed gift or a planned gift,<br />
