Headmaster’s Letter

February 2023

Dear Saints Supporters,

We are thrilled to come together tonight at our biennial auction, An Evening Under the Pines . Since we gathered for our last auction in February 2020, community and fellowship have taken on increased importance for all of us .

In addition to celebrating our common bond as Saints, the auction also allows the School to provide important facilities enhancements for our boys . This year, your donations will touch every boy on campus. The money raised tonight will fund upgrades to the libraries of all three divisions.

The divisional libraries play an important role in the boys’ academic experience . Librarians collaborate with faculty to develop creative projects and opportunities for students that enhance and complement classroom learning . The libraries are a hub of information for the boys, providing access to authentic and accurate academic resources . The libraries are also a place of community-building, where students gather, learn, and explore together .

It has been many years since the library facilities were renovated, and the current furnishings and resources are insufficient for the needs of our boys today . With your help, the Lower, Middle and Upper School libraries of the future will be state-of-the-art learning centerscomfortable and inviting spaces for our boys to study, do homework, collaborate, and foster a lifelong love of learning .

Have fun tonight . Enjoy each other, enjoy the delicious food and drinks, and please give generously in support of our boys .

Gratefully,

Mason Lecky Headmaster
