Thanks to Our Friends: 2008-2009 Annual Report Lauralton Hall is pleased to acknowledge the generosity of 1,018 donors to the Annual and Capital Fund Campaigns. We are grateful for the many gifts from alumnae, parents, trustees, foundations, corporations and friends whose spirit of giving continues the Lauralton tradition of academic excellence, enhances the lives of current and prospective students and serves the greater community. Lauralton Hall thanks all donors for their confidence and thoughtful support of the school’s mission.

Since 1905, the Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall, has provided education in the Mercy tradition to thousands of young women—an education designed to motivate the student to "pursue knowledge, recognize truth, and respond to the needs of others."

With the generous support of countless individuals, Lauralton Hall today continues to prepare young women for entrance into selective colleges and universities, for leadership in varied professions and within their families and for the challenges of life itself in the 21st century.

Contributions enable Lauralton Hall to expand the scope and quality of its educational resources, and to attract a faculty committed to the core values of the Mercy tradition.

Lauralton Hall is grateful for the generosity of spirit demonstrated for decades by the Lauralton community and invites inquiries about various ways of giving and about its current priorities.

Friends may contact Lisa Hottin, Executive Director of Development, in confidence, at 203-877-2786, ext. 129, or email lhottin@lauraltonhall.org.
