DONOR THOUGHTS
Why I Support
the Marists

The Mosley family supports the Marists because as a family of Marist School
in Atlanta, Georgia we owe them a debt of heartfelt gratitude, and it feels
like a small way to say “Thank you.” The Marists who have been the heart
of Marist School for more than 122 years are the foundation of what makes
Marist School so special. The Marist presence is a source of immense joy
and comfort to the school community. Their legacy of assembling a superior
group of teachers, coaches and administrators over the years to care for and
nurture the Marist students provides us with a sense of joy and comfort when
our children leave for school each day or attend any event sponsored by the
school.
The Marist School priests, teachers, coaches and administrators have worked
like a well-oiled machine to produce Christ-centered young men and women
over many years, and we are happy to say that our children will be a product
of this wonderful educational institution. While most people in the Atlanta
community (and beyond) know Marist School for its reputation of offering
superior academics and its athletic successes, the school provides so much
more to the families of students through its love and support for them.
Our children genuinely love being at Marist School anytime there is an
opportunity to participate in an event, as they feel like they are part of a
family away from home. The teachers, coaches and priests are examples to
the students through their care, love, support and generosity of their time.
Throughout our children’s time at Marist School, teachers have regularly taken
their personal time on nights and weekends to offer additional instruction
before exams, so that the students feel fully prepared. Marist teachers extend
their caring and nurturing to matters outside of the classroom as well. Our
children have had teachers willing to give of their time to discuss colleges,
to assist them with letters to colleges as well as share in their joys. Other
teachers and priests at the school offer time to mentor and guide students
through reconciliation services and retreats, and offer other guidance on
matters important to teens.
In addition, several teachers and alumni give a tremendous amount of their
time to the school’s athletic programs and ensure that Marist traditions and
values extend to the field. Coaches give countless hours to help the athletes
find success on the field which also instills in the athletes the importance of
keeping the values of faith, integrity, honesty and hard work at the forefront
of their quest for the next championship. The athletic tradition coupled with
the life lessons it teaches the students is simply fantastic.
The Marist tradition of excellence is phenomenal and carries on through the
presence of the Marists. This is why we support the Marists in the hope of
retaining the excellence that is Marist School for many more generations to
come. We thank the Marists for all they have given our family and numerous
others over the years.
