Dear Alumni,

Welcome! It is great to have you visit the NSA website.

We appreciate your interest in NSA and encourage you to keep in touch with each other and the school. Please let us know what is happening in your life; the Fleur-de-Lis, NSA's magazine, has a section devoted solely to our alumni and is the most popular section in the magazine. Please send us your news and photos so we might feature you.

NSA values all of her graduates and has proven her commitment to NSA Alumni by hiring a full-time Alumni Coordinator. Please contact me, NSA's Alumni Coordinator, at cpond@nsacademy.org, with information on what you've been doing lately, your new contact information or with questions you have about your reunion or the school in general. I plan to hit the road again this year promoting the "On the Road Reunion" program to visit NSA Alumni! I hope to see you soon!

Our school has been working very hard to improve the percentage of Alumni who give back to NSA. Continued support of the Annual Fund from NSA Alumni is extremely important to the financial well being of NSA! The corporations and foundations provide funding to non-profit organizations often ask, "What percentage of your alumni support your Annual Fund?" If the percentage of donors from the NSA constituency is high, the foundation or corporation is more likely to approve our funding request.

The great experience you had at NSA was provided in large part by the generosity of those who came before you. Help provide the same experience for those who follow you. Every dollar makes a difference. Make a pledge to the Annual Fund. You may learn more about NSA, contact the school or make a donation to NSA by visiting the website and clicking Donate Now. If you've already made a donation, thank you.

Reconnect with NSA! Get involved! Volunteer your time! Stop by the next time you're in town! You will be absolutely amazed at how our fine school has blossomed! Always remember, live generously!

Go Saints!
