We are pleased to announce that Dr. Rebecca “Becky” Anderson and Ms. Corina Gutiérrez have been selected by the Governor’s office to serve on the NMSD Board of Regents.

She also served as the President of the NMSD Alumni Association for many years.

A big thank you to the staff and volunteers at St. Frances for providing bags of goodies to the children in SF Public schools and for including our ECE and Elementary students too! They were a big hit and a fun way to send our youngest kiddos off on April Break.
