We Get Letters from Former Students

 

Hey Mrs. Clem, how are you?

My name is Antony Kalleeny (Tony), I attended St. Elizabeth's for 4th and 5th grade and would have been part of 1997 graduating class. I was searching the internet and stumbled on St. Elizabeth's website, and I can not tell you how much me and my parents appreciate the education that me and my sister received if even for a short amount of time. Till this day my parents talk about how St. Elizabeth changed the way me and my sister studied and view our education. I'm now 24, and will be graduating pharmacy school from Florida A & M University this April 27th, 2008. My sister is also in pharmacy school but is a year behind me and she will be graduating in 2009 God willing.Its been a while but I think I remember you being the one who led the hymns in mass with the guitar (I could be wrong its been a long time!). My dad actually use to own that Mobil gas station on the corner Ledbetter and Hampton. In any case, I just wanted to let you and the school know where I am today and how greatly appreciated the education at St. Elizabeth's was.

Thank you Mrs. Clem and the rest of St. Elizabeth's

p.s. Mr. Cooper was the principle when I was there for 4th and 5th and I remember having an Irish teacher for 4th grade but I can't remember her name, if you could shed some light that would be great, she was the one that really helped make me the student I can say I am today!


Dear Ms. Clem,
I was up late tonight and was surfing the web. I came across my old elementary school website - St. Elizabeth in Dallas, Texas. I have so many great memories from the school. You probably don't remember me but I graduated in May of 1997 along with my husband, Marty Velasquez. As a young girl, I did not value the school or the wonderful teachers. Today I know how important a part it played in my life.

Today my husband and I live outside Denver, Colorado. We have a wonderful life together.

I want to thank you, our 8th grade reading teacher, along with all the other teachers we had for being such a big part of who I am now. I may not have said it then but I hope it is not too late to express it now - Thank you!

Sincerly,
Erica Velasco Velasquez
