St. Matthew's Alumni Parents Association
All former parents of an alumnus or alumna of St. Matthew's automatically become members of the St. Matthew's Alumni Parents Association, no matter when your child left the School. This was a place of small and growing children, loving and nurturing teachers, the excitement of learning. It was where you and your child made the kind of life-long friends that are only born of parenting children together as a village. Become a part of the St. Matthew's Alumni Association and enjoy those memories all over again, and again! Your participation in St. Matthew's Alumni Association events will keep you up to date on additional wonderful opportunities, networking and events for your former Falcon, too--because parenting never ends!
We have a number of annual special events and programs just for parents of St. Matthew's alumni, including a fall wine sampling event, Cin Cin, parent education speakers, and the beloved Town Fair Prequel Party, and more.
