Terry proudly told us that the project is designed to honor the history of our school and the countless students who have passed through its doors. On its completion, the St. Elizabeth Garden will feature a memorial walkway with benches, offering a serene environment where students can study, socialize and connect with nature. This garden is not just a space for relaxation; it is a tribute to the legacy of the school and the dormitory that once stood there.
Mary VanDerVolgen-Goldman and Henrietta Ket, both St. Elizabeth alumni, and members of the alumni advisory board, brought up the idea to further honor this legacy by creating a nurse statue for the garden–in an original, old-style uniform–representing the history of nursing, and the school itself.
We invite you to leave a lasting legacy by supporting the St. Elizabeth Garden. Your contributions will help us create a beautiful, sustainable space that will benefit our entire community for years to come. Whether you choose to support the garden as an individual, a couple, a family, an alumni class or in honor of someone special, every donation makes a difference. This garden is about creating a place for students and other members of the St. Elizabeth community to be their true selves, reflecting our commitment to their holistic development and well-being.
Join us in cultivating a garden that enriches our campus and embodies the values of growth, healing and compassion at the core of St. Elizabeth School of Nursing. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.
