Mothers Club Update – May 2026

I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by! We have shared so many wonderful events and experiences, none of which would have been possible without the dedication of our Mothers Club Board, committee chairs, and countless volunteers. Along the way, friendships were strengthened, memories were made, and a true sense of community continued to grow. I hope many of you will return to serve again next year.

Senior parents please be sure to check the Senior webpage for important details related to Commencement and the Lock-In.

A special thank you to Meghan Bottomley and Stephanie Heavey for coordinating a beautiful luncheon honoring our facilities staff.

Thank you as well to Kelly Lawson and Jenny Sturm for coordinating the Junior Ring Cookie Reception so families could enjoy celebrating their sons. I would also like to thank Colleen Nugent-Aque and Alexis Holmes, along with all of our wonderful volunteers, for hosting the Senior Follies Cookie Reception — it was truly a fantastic evening.

Please join me in wishing the very best to our incoming Mothers Club President, Stephanie Rich, whose support and leadership this year have been invaluable.

There is so much to look forward to in the next school year, and I hope you’ll join us as we continue to build connection and community together. For the most up-to-date information on all 2026 - 2027 events, please visit the Events & Volunteer Opportunities on the Mothers Club website.

I am incredibly grateful for this amazing community of women and for the opportunity to serve alongside all of you this year. It has been a true blessing and an experience I will always cherish.

Wishing all of you a wonderful summer filled with time, laughter, and memories with your families. As always, if there is anything we can help with, please reach out to moms@sluh.org.

Warmly,
Natalie Cox
President, SLUH Mothers Club

Mothers Club History

In December of 1927, Fr. William F. Parry, SJ, then Principal of SLUH, called a meeting of the mothers of SLUH students. He wanted to express his gratitude for the successful card party organized to help defray the cost of repairing extensive damage done to the school and chapel due to a tornado. At this thank you meeting, one of the women suggested the formation of a Mothers Club. This was met with the overwhelming approval, and Mrs. Victoria Cervantes was unanimously elected the Club’s first President.

Since that time almost 100 SLUH Moms have served as President of the Mothers Club and countless more have volunteered their time, energy, and dedication by answering, “Yes”, when called to serve.

Today, the Mothers Club continues to support St. Louis University High, create a community for all Moms, and our fundraising supports meaningful traditions, celebrations, and initiatives throughout the year—including Staff and Faculty Appreciation, Parent Events, Student Activities, and more.
