The Saint Mary’s Academy (SMA) Class of 1974/75 Reunion Committee has reaffirmed its dedication to nurturing student growth through sports by donating essential football equipment to the school’s football team. The presentation of the gear, which includes uniforms, football boots, and other necessary items, was conducted by Mr. Peter Etienne, a representative of the Reunion Committee, on behalf of the alumni group. The supplies were generously provided by Kenrick Jean Pierre and Trevor “Berchie” Bertrand, both proud SMA graduates who remain actively connected to their alma mater. This initiative is part of the committee’s overarching goal to give back to SMA and support the comprehensive development of its students. During the ceremony, Mr. Etienne emphasized the transformative impact of sports, stating, ‘Our time at SMA instilled in us values like discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Sports played a pivotal role in shaping our character, and we want to ensure today’s students have the resources to thrive both on and off the field.’ The Reunion Committee has committed to sustaining its annual support for the school’s football program, acknowledging the vital role of athletics in cultivating leadership, unity, and personal growth among young men. The donation was met with heartfelt appreciation by the school’s coaching staff and student athletes, who expressed their gratitude for the alumni’s unwavering encouragement and generosity.
