On July 23rd, we hosted a first year send off for the Saint Mary’s Class of 2029. It was a great evening welcoming six Chicago-area Belles into the Saint Mary’s community! Thank you to our hostesses, Kathleen Tamayo ‘01 and Christina Hardin ‘97 for so generously hosting the send off!

We had alumnae from 1986 - 2022 attend to share their Saint Mary’s story and give advice. We also had Belles from the classes of 2026, 2027 and 2028 attend and give advice about their current experience at SMC. Thank you all for attending!

At the send off, we had a delicious spread of charcuterie, sliders and salad for dinner as well as a great dessert spread. And each Belle took home some cute Saint Mary’s swag to get ready for the new school year.

It was a great evening, and we are so excited for the newest Belles to begin their Saint Mary’s journey!
