It was no surprise: Cavaliers Deliver

Last issue we asked for a little help for a senior who has lost both parents. Five Serra alumni attorneys from '59, '60, '61, '70 and '68 contacted us to help. One of them is revolving the issues. An '09 alumnae who went through a similar situation while at Serra contacted us and will be coming and offering her assistance this Friday at Senior Day. 

Cavaliers have faith and integrity.

Cavaliers are humble and accountable.

Cavaliers are scholars who lead and serve.

Cavaliers are soldiers for Christ.

We are Cavaliers.

All Hail!
