Our Lady of Talpa School’s Alumni Association is a great way to stay involved with the Talpa community and to support the next generation of Talpa students. The Alumni Association is composed of alumni from several different classes who are committed to helping their fellow alumni stay connected and to raising money to fund the school’s needs.

The Alumni Association typically meets monthly throughout the school year. (Depending on the event schedule, meetings occur more or less frequently.) The Alumni Association has planned past events such as the Annual Alumni BBQ, Alumni Meet and Greets, the 60th Anniversary celebration, casino nights, dinner dances, and the 50th Anniversary celebration. The Association is always interested in hearing what new ideas or suggestions alumni have for future events.

If you would like to learn how to become involved in the Alumni Association, please contact Talpa’s development coordinator. Alumni are welcome to join at any time!

Sponsor-A-Student Campaign 2014-2015
Alumni Class Challenge – Final Results

Talpa School has been facing a $50,000 deficit in tuition revenue. To close this tuition gap, the Talpa Alumni Association and Talpa School created an Alumni Class Challenge as part of Talpa’s 2014-2015 “Sponsor-A-Student” Campaign. (To learn more about this effort, you may read the following Letter from Our Lady of Talpa School Principal, Sister Adella Armentrout, D.C.).

The goal of this Alumni Class Challenge was for each graduating class – from 1956 to 2014 – to raise at least $1,000 by May 15, 2015. The Class Challenge has come to an end, and the results are in: Talpa’s Class of 1958 drew the closest to the $1,000 per-class goal by raising a total of $600.

Congratulations and thank you to members of the Class of 1958 who contributed, and thank you to all Talpa alumni who generously supported the Alumni Class Challenge in an effort to help their classes reach the $1,000 goal.

Although the Class Challenge has ended, Talpa still needs help to close our tuition gap. Please click here to donate online today. Please specify “Sponsor-A-Student” in the “Gift Information” section of the online donation form. If you are a Talpa alumna/alumnus, please enter your class year in the “Company Name” line of the “Your Information” section.
