Technology Makes Alumni Relations Easy

As featured in the July 2009 Christian School Products eNews:

by Chris Gehringer, President of Alumni Channel

You spend countless hours and dollars to make your students the best they can be. You nurture them, guide them, teach them, and watch them grow to become mature individuals.

  • St Anastasia Elementary School opened in 1929 and graduated its last class in 2009.   At the same time, within the framework of the “Preserving the Vision” initiative of the Diocese of Brooklyn, the school was reorganized and renamed Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy.  No longer a parish school, but in fellowship with St. Anastasia Church, DWCA operates under the governance of a lay Board of Directors selected from the ranks of alumni and friends of the old SAS.  With a large base of graduates, the school hopes to cultivate stronger bonds with, and among, alumni that will lay the foundation for fundraising in support of Divine Wisdom.  Visit Community »
