Anne Love Brunette ’72 shares that attending St. Cecilia Academy was like a “field of dreams” that left a powerful mark on her life. She gives so that the girls of today have the same experiences, and encourages all alums to join with their SCA sisters in making a gift of any amount. In the remaining hours of Giving Day 2022, please consider the impact of St. Cecilia Academy and make a gift that is generous for you at stcecilia.edu/givingday.

“Once a St. Cecilia girl, always a St. Cecilia girl.” That’s the message of Nicole Floyd Smith ’03. Nicole is giving back to SCA to ensure today’s 300 students have the same profound experiences she enjoyed.

Alums, there are just a few hours remaining to give. Like last year, we will award two prizes: the class with the highest overall participation AND the class with the most dollars raised each will win “A Party on the Patio” complete with SCA gear! Give at stcecilia.edu/givingday. As of 5 pm, the classes with the most participation are 1979 (19 donors), 1966 (12 donors), and 1969 (9 donors). And in most dollars raised, the classes in the lead are 1980 ($4,925), 1979 ($3,800) and 1986 ($2,950).

Remember to post your photo using the hashtags #SCAGivingDay #TiesUsTogether. And tag St. Cecilia in your posts, StCeciliaAcademy.

On this SCA Giving Day, you have the opportunity to do twice as much to help today’s St. Cecilia girls. Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous alumna, new and increased gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000!

Thank you to the many alumnae, parents, grandparents and friends who have given already in today’s SCA Giving Day. As Meghan Clarke Nicholson ’07 notes, her SCA ties include the deep faith formation, love and nurturing she experienced as a student. She is giving because SCA gives girls opportunities to be their best selves.

Please join Meghan and other alums with a gift today at stcecilia.edu/givingday. Gifts of all sizes are important and appreciated. Through an exciting $25,000 challenge gift, you can leverage even more support for SCA. If this is your first time supporting SCA, your gift will be doubled. If you gave last year and increase your support today, the increased amount will be matched!

SCA interns are constantly learning new things while protecting the planet! Check it out. ⬇️Hello! Student Conservation Association intern Pep here! Last week I got to visit the San Marcos Aquatic Resources Center and had the chance to visit some staff and learn about interesting programs they’re working on. I got to tour various aquatic husbandry tanks and observe their work with the endangered Texas Blind Salamanders -- I’d never heard of those! These critters rely on clean and cool waters from the Edwards Aquifer. I learned that in their juvenile stage, they have eye spots and can only partially see but once fully grown, they are totally BLIND. They look like little dragons to me! 🐉photo: P.
