Come Home This Saturday
Dear Hill-Murray Community,
If the Pioneer Premier Auction has crossed your mind this week, consider this your invitation, and your moment. There is still time to say yes, and truly, all are welcome.
At its heart, this evening is about people. It’s about our students, young men and women of extraordinary promise, courage, and potential, whose lives are shaped here in ways that endure far beyond graduation.
Last night at our Student Art Exhibition at St. Paul’s Monastery, I was reminded, once again, what makes this place so special. Generations of Pioneers gathered in one room. A graduate from Hill’s Class of 1963 stood proudly beside his grandson, a sophomore whose photography was on display. A member of the Class of 1990 came to celebrate his seventh-grade son’s work.
That’s Hill-Murray. Generations returning. Showing up. Staying connected to something that matters.
This year’s theme, Welcome Home, is exactly that – an invitation.
To show up.
To stand with a community that believes every student deserves to be known, loved, and respected.
We will also have the joy of welcoming home, Alumni Lino Rulli, Class of 1989, as our emcee, and the honor of celebrating Brother Francis Carr, a man whose quiet servant leadership and lifelong devotion to students remind us why this mission matters so deeply.
If you are on the fence, I’ll say this simply:
Come, I promise you will not regret it.
Come for the energy of a room filled with people who care.
Come to sit beside friends, or meet new ones – and truly feel what makes this place different.
Come to be part of a night where generosity changes lives in real and lasting ways.
Grab a ticket. Join a table. Invite a friend. Say yes. If you come solo, we promise to put you at a fun table.
If you cannot be with us in person and want to support the auction NOW and be part of our paddle raise for Friends of Hill-Murray Scholarships, REGISTER HERE NOW. Check out the items, bidding is open now!
See you Saturday!
Melissa
