Greetings from Marquette University where current freshman and Elgin Academy 2020 graduate Elizabeth Sporina received her EA Care Package. We love the Post-It Note smiley face on the window, Liz!

Another Elgin Academy Development office sponsored care package has arrived! The recipient is Ryan Ulrichs, a freshman at Judson College. Cool lighting in your dorm room, Ryan!

Every year, the Elgin Academy Development office sends Care Packages to our newest alums (the Class of 2020). Earlier this week, these packages full of goodies were sent all over the country and the world. Our EA alums are just starting to receive their boxes. Ethan Moore who is a freshman at Beloit College sent a selfie with his care package.

Thank you to Elgin Academy parents Ayisha Sami and Cynthia Richetti for putting together EA's Young Alumni Care Packages. These care packages full of everything that students away from home (some for the first time) are missing, were sent out to the Elgin Academy Class of 2020 graduates wherever they may be including China. This is a start of the school year tradition to celebrate our graduates and give them a "Hilltopper Hello!"
