Volunteers Chase the Rain, Soak Up the Crawfish
Blue Jay parents, alumni, and parents of alumni who volunteered at Jesuit during the 2014-15 school year were feted at the annual Volunteer Workers’ Crawfish Party held April 24 in the Traditions Courtyard. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the many Jesuit community’s events, including the PAG and LEF drives, the Parents of Alumni drive, the Blue Jay Baazar, Celebration, and Thanksgiving Drive, just to name a few.
The party attracted 350 volunteer workers who enjoyed 2,000 pounds of delicious crawfish and spicy jambalaya, prepared on location by Suggs Catering.
To all our volunteers, Jesuit sends its thanks and gratitude.
