Jesuit High School invites mothers of current students (as well as mothers of Blue Jay alumni) to attend the 2015-16 Alma Mater Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016 at 11:30 a.m. at the Southern Yacht Club.

Register by the deadline of Wednesday, January 13 at 2 p.m. Seating is limited, so please register as soon as possible.

The Alma Mater Awards Luncheon honors the volunteer work of several Blue Jay mothers whose extraordinary contributions of time and talent have greatly benefited Jesuit. This year’s honorees are Ellen Frischhertz, Marian Gibbs, Andrea Legrand, and Karen Matthews.

Preceding the luncheon is a patron party from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. on the second floor. The luncheon opens with a cash bar at 11:30 a.m.

This is the 16th year that Jesuit is honoring its volunteer mothers. The first Alma Mater Awards Luncheon was in 1992 and for the next 14 years, it was a much-anticipated fall event. Following Hurricane Katrina, the annual luncheon was put on hold and was put back on Jesuit’s calendar in the 2013-14 school year.
