All alumni are encouraged to assemble a team to compete in a single elimination tournament. There will also be inflatables and art activities for children so encourage your family, friends and classmates to come cheer you on to victory!  
CLICK HERE TO VIEW CLASS/ALUMNI AGENTS. Twice a year, in the fall and spring, we publish interesting news about our alumni in "The Bell." As you know, St. Martin's Alumni love to read about fellow alumni. Whether you graduated in 1951 or 2011, please contact the Alumni Office or your Class Agent today with your Scattered Saints news. We are adding two new sections in the Bell that will feature alumni writings. If you are a writer by profession or hobby please email your fiction, nonfiction, or human interest pieces to Julie.talbot@stmsaints.com. This will be a regular feature of The Bell and we welcome submissions! Another feature of the The Bell will be alumni reflections of special memories from their experiences as a Saint. The alumni office is soliciting both pictures and commentary for this column.  St. Martin's welcomes our newest alumni - Class of 2011!

My experience at St. Martin's directly influenced my choice of a profession. Intellectual curiosity, close friendships with peers, and relationships with faculty that were both nurturing and challenging marked my years at STM. During Middle School, I decided that I wanted to teach social studies to middle school students in an independent school. I rarely wavered in that desire, and during the first week of my freshman year at Duke, I found the Program in Education office and mapped out the plan to reach my goal. In the years since then, I've taught every grade from fifth to twelfth, except for tenth, and worked in admission, communications, financial aid, and academic administration -- all at independent schools. My years at St. Martin's inform my vision of what an excellent independent school is, and I draw on my experience regularly as I work with my colleagues to make my current school the best it can be.
