Emily and I would like to thank the student body of Saint Mary's for their concern about our school. The pure fact that a large number of our peers expressed their interest throughout the election process shows your concern. 0 The frustation could have led to apathy but instead further energized the student body. As a community, you have made your opinions and pride known. We encourage you to continue - this involvement and to let your voices be heard across campus D this year and next. You have been the driving force behind us, and we thank you for showing pride and regard for your peers and school.
