Notre Dame School of Manhattan offers a Catholic education for young women in the tradition of Anne de Xainctonge. Inspired by this 17th century pioneer in women’s education, Notre Dame promotes academic excellence for girls, an awareness of God in their lives and engagement in the world around them.

At Notre Dame in the 21st century, the school’s small, nurturing environment encourages each student to be open to personal and intellectual growth. The rich, cultural, racial, and ethnic mosaic of Notre Dame’s community and its urban location enhance global awareness. A challenging curriculum prepares talented young women for college and for lives of leadership and service.

Annual Fund Overview and Highlights September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025 All gifts to the Annual Fund go directly toward the education of our promising Notre Dame students. The Annual Fund helps bridge the $5,000 gap between the cost of educating each student, and the tuition paid. The Annual Fund also gives each student access to scholarship and financial assistance packages and helps maintain our fine facilities. It allows us to enhance the curriculum, to provide the latest technology, and to offer professional development for our teachers.

A Message from the Acting President

Fall 2025 Dear Notre Dame,

“In fostering this atmosphere of thoughtfulness and purpose, we honor Sr. Virginia’s legacy.”

In preparing to write this message to you, I read over the letter Sr. Virginia penned for the 2024 issue of Encore Chez Nous. In it she wrote of balancing the school’s theme of Belonging with the reality of our world “marked by... political turmoil, wars, racial and ethnic tensions, socioeconomic inequalities, and climate challenges,” asking, “Where do we find hope?” For Sr. Virginia, that hope came from God, from the legacy of Anne de Xainctonge, and that of St. Ignatius Loyola. She also found hope in Notre Dame students, their purpose, their engagement, their joy. And she found it in the ND alumnae community and their enduring affection and support.

Now a year later, much of the national and global conditions that Sr. Virginia lamented persist, and we are left to reckon with them, while we also mourn her. Everyone here at the school misses Sr. Virginia every day, and yet, we also feel her presence, and dare I say, her encouragement, just as strongly. This year’s theme is Kindness, and that quality manifests itself in so many of our daily interactions with one another, in the traditions we share, in the liturgies in our chapel that welcome all, and in the efforts of our teachers who give so much of themselves. Mainly, we continue to find hope where Sr. Virginia did–in our students: It was there in the encouraging messages our seniors chalked outside of our building for our orientation days in early September. It exists in the bond between our paired Chez Nous sisters who help each other in ways big and small throughout the year. It is there on the soccer field and cross country course when athletes cheer on a new team member. It was definitely there during the Mass of the Holy Spirit, in the planning and leadership roles of our student participants and in our Glee Club who followed the cues of their new music teacher so beautifully. It was there in the group of students who volunteered at the Xavier Welcome Table in mid-September to serve with dignity the people of our city suffering from food insecurity.

Because you are part of the Notre Dame community, I know that you would be so proud of our current students, and so inspired by the way they weave kindness into all that they do.

In fostering this atmosphere of thoughtfulness and purpose, we honor Sr. Virginia’s legacy.

We all work together to maintain Notre Dame as the school she worked so hard to keep thriving, Chez Nous. The world needs these future leaders, and they need your support.

I hope you will find a way to give to them today, so they can give to us and future generations in the way they live their lives.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn Brilliant Acting President

A Message from the Principal

Fall 2025 Dear Chez Nous Family,

“Your support helps us nurture the spirit of kindness in every corner of our home. ”

My heart is filled with gratitude for the generosity and support that you have shown to our home, Chez Nous. Your contributions make a profound difference in the lives of our students and in the daily life of our school.

This year, we embrace the theme of Kindness—not only as a value we teach, but as a practice we live. From small group activities to service projects, field day to Retreat, blanket making to tutoring, we see our community come together in meaningful, compassionate ways. Your support helps us nurture the spirit of kindness in every corner of our home.

Your kindness ensures our students feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow in a community of love. Your partnership empowers us to continue shaping compassionate leaders for tomorrow. Our students are learning how to lead with empathy, listen with open hearts, and take action in the face of need. That is the education that will last them a lifetime.

Thank you for believing in the mission of Notre Dame School.

With gratitude,

Karina Vargas ’02 Principal

Spreading Kindness Our students began their school year by gathering in small groups organized

by Ms. Ambrose and Mr. Ortiz. Throughout the school year, our students will continue to come together in these same groups to partake in varying activities and discussions on Anne’s Values days.

The students who lead this program are known as “Anne’s Leaders,” and they work to build and strengthen the longterm relationships that extend beyond the halls, Chez Nous. In September, our students met to share summer memories and then participated in making Kindness Pins. In connection with our school’s theme—Kindness—students, faculty and staff made beautiful pins decorated with beads. All were directed to offer a pin when they witness an act of kindness at any point throughout the year. This exercise offers a tangible way to share our community’s good deeds and is intended to bring us all closer as a whole.

Welcome to the Family, Chez Nous!

We are excited to introduce the newest members of our faculty and staff at Notre Dame. Please join us in welcoming these four wonderful additions to our community, Chez Nous!

Triple Header for Our Seniors

On Thursday, September 18th the Senior Class traveled to Citi Field to see the New York Mets take on the San Diego Padres for the first of three planned "Senior Days”. The girls returned exhilarated after cheering the Mets to their 6-1 victory, which was largely attributed to a solo home run by Pete Alonso and a three-run homer from Brandon Nimmo. For their second outing, the Senior Class

then headed to Broadway to see the production of the classic American novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald on Thursday, October 2nd. The show was performed at the Broadway Theatre. The last excursion has been selected based on an overwhelmingly popular vote! The third trip will be to Dave & Buster’s on Thursday March 12th and will include a 2-hour party complete with food, drinks, and games.

Ella Esparrago ‘26 and Parker Huang ‘27 US Open Ball Girls Ella Esparrago ‘26 and Parker Huang ‘27 took on paid jobs over the summer working as ball girls at the US Open in New York. This is a highly-coveted opportunity as approximately 1,600 people tryout and roughly 80 are selected. For Ella, this was her third year working as a US Open Ball Girl. In prior years, she had unforgettable moments such as serving Ben Shelton and holding the American flag on Arthur Ashe during the Mixed Doubles Ceremony in 2024. For Parker, this marked her first year working at the tournament.

She was excited to share the experience with one of her Chez Nous sisters! They found being on court serving such prominent and talented tennis players to be a surreal experience. Ella and Parker learned how to communicate and work as a team with 6-8 other ball crew members, rolling tennis balls and running across the court. Ella and Parker were honored to have been selected to be on the 2025 US Open Ball Crew, and had a wonderful experience together.

Kaia Scholla ’27 Worth Street Veterinary Clinic Kaia Scholla ’27 took on an opportunity interning at Worth Street Veterinary Clinic. From the moment she put on her scrubs and stepped into the clinic, she was welcomed into a world where compassion and medical expertise met. Kaia learned the ins and outs of the practice. She learned how to conduct client intakes, helped administer vaccines and prepared animals for surgery with compassion. She even had the opportunity to observe a few surgeries, which she found to be both thrilling and educational.

Thea Fletcher ‘26 The Copula Program Thea Fletcher ‘26 participated in The Copula Program where she had the opportunity to work with a Harvard University PhD student.

Summer Camps: On Campus and Beyond Academic Camp (June–July) Our Academic Camp had another fantastic summer! We welcomed rising 7th, 8th and 9th grade girls for a morning of fun academic classes followed by local trips around the neighborhood in the afternoon. A few campers were only with us for a week, while others registered to attend all four weeks. Regardless of their commitment, all campers were made to feel at home, welcome, and a part of the special Summer Camper group. We went on some new trips this summer including a visit to the Edge, which is a viewing platform high above the city in Hudson Yards. We were able to take in breathtaking views, snap some “insta-worthy” pics, and learn a little about the sustainability of the new buildings in Hudson Yards. The Tenement Museum was another new highlight for many students because it allowed them to see what life was like for immigrants in the crowded streets of New York over a hundred years ago. These were just two of the 15 outings we participated in throughout the four week program.

We look forward to more fun and learning next summer!

STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS

Enhancing Global Awareness Notre Dame offers new and exciting opportunities each year for our students. We are excited to share that we are running three international travel options that will serve both cultural and mission-based purposes. Notre Dame’s trip to Greece is completely full, but we are still taking participants for our service trip to Peru and our culture trip to Italy. Ms. Ioana Donose, our Science Department Chair, leads and manages our international travel program. These trips offer life-changing experiences for our students, and those who attended last year are still talking about their travels.

New Fellowship to China in 2026 Winter 2025 (February - Amadeus) Our students used their vaporetto pass to arrive in St. Mark's Square where they saw the Basilica of St. Mark, Bridge of Sighs, and the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy. Next up was a visit to the Campanile on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore to visit the 16th-century Benedictine church. Our students did not stop there but continued on to Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and setting of The Sound of Music, before venturing on to Vienna and Prague.

Spring 2025 (April – South Africa) While on a service trip to South Africa, our students visited the Karongwe Private Game Reserve in Kruger. There they went on a guided bush walk by foot with a highly trained game ranger and maximized their other days by seeking out the “Big Five”: lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos. While in Cape Town, they volunteered with the Pebbles Project, a service group that aims to enable children and young adults from agricultural communities to reach their full potential through education, health, and nutrition services. Our students visited Robben Island, along with other key landmarks like Table Mountain and Castle of Good Hope as well.

Notre Dame is honored to be the second high school selected by the Lii-Haybyrne Institute for Asian Studies to participate in their study abroad program. This year, students who expressed an interest in the Fellowship from the classes of 2027 and 2028 have been invited to study various components of Chinese culture on a bi-weekly basis. Following an application process, a group of 10 students will then be selected to embark on a fully sponsored educational trip to China in the summer of 2026 for three weeks. ND students will follow in the footsteps of St. Francis Xavier, whose mission included a passionate interest in the intersection of Jesuit learning and Chinese culture. Fellows and faculty chaperones will be hosted

by The Beijing Center, a partner of the Lii-Haybyrne Institute.

Our Chez Nous Benefit continues to grow each year in new ways with the help of engaged parents, committed alumnae, and loyal Trustees and friends of the school. We deeply appreciate our community trusting our decision to change venues, as it allowed us to optimize funds raised in support of our students. We are delighted to announce that on Saturday, March 22, 2025, our 68th Annual Chez Nous Benefit raised over $675,000 due to the generous support of our school’s extended community.

It is without a doubt that the powerful stories shared by Ixchel ’25 and Sophia ’25 had a true impact on those in attendance. Ixchel announced that she will attend Northwestern University on a full scholarship, which includes cost of tuition, housing, food, and additional expenses. Sophia will join UNIBE–Universidad Iberoamericana where she will complete a five year medical program in the Dominican Repuplic.

Ixchel and Sophia are proud beneficiaries of our Financial Aid and Scholarship Program and their successes clearly demonstrate how access to a Notre Dame School education has the power to transform lives. We are truly grateful for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Chez Nous Sisters Give Back Career Day

College Panel

The annual Notre Dame Career Fair is one of the most exciting events of the year, bringing together alumnae, parents, and faculty friends from a wide range of fields to share their unique career journeys and passions with our students. In just two hours, our entire student body has the opportunity to meet with guests who bring energy, insight, and even a little swag, while offering invaluable guidance on future career paths. This event not only sparks inspiration but also helps students envision the endless possibilities awaiting them beyond the classroom.

On January 9, 2025, we welcomed back recent graduates for an informative college panel. They hailed from a variety of colleges, from nearby Fordham, Columbia, and NYU to faraway University of Glasgow. We had alumnae from Lehigh, Skidmore, Howard, and Loyola Maryland, among several other great schools. The undergraduate stories they shared of growth, challenges, and success were thoughtful and valuable for our current juniors to hear.

Thank you to all our alumnae for sharing their time with their Chez Nous sisters!

e often say “Light from Light” during our liturgical practices on West 13th Street, as the lighting of candles are tangible reminders of God’s light in the world. As part of our school’s mission, Notre Dame students are encouraged to have an awareness of God in their lives. This relationship helps to foster peace in challenging times and offers strength in ordinary moments. Notre Dame School continues to educate girls in the Catholic tradition of Anne de Xainctonge, who founded the Sisters of St. Ursula, and was a 17th Century pioneer in women’s education. Anne believed in educating the whole person in a family-like atmosphere.

Preparing girls for lives of service in the spirit of the Gospel and leadership for the good of others was a cornerstone of her pedagogy. Arguably, one of Anne’s greatest champions was Sr. Virginia O’Brien, S.U. Sr. Virginia was a beloved Sister of St. Ursula. She was the Superior of the Sisters’ Community on West 79th Street, at a young age. Member of the Regional Council, Formation Director of the Order for two terms (6-years each), and Member of the General Council. She was also a loving daughter, sister and aunt, as well as a resilient President of Notre Dame School whose dedication, Catholic values and kindness touched countless lives. Her life was cut short in March 2025, but her legacy will continue.

She grew up as an active member of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs parish in Forest Hills, New York and was a cherished alumna of Notre Dame School. She took her first vows as a Sister of St. Ursula on August 25, 1975 and graduated from the College of Mt. St. Vincent in 1977. She earned her master’s in counseling from Fairfield University in 1982 and her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University in 1996. Her resume is littered with work as a practicing psychologist and professor. She was an adjunct Assistant Professor of Counseling and Education at Hunter College, a psychologist at Kenwood Psychological Services, and served as a Consulting Psychologist at the Marymount School where she helped the school community cope with the losses of the 9/11 tragedy.

However, our home, Chez Nous, always held a special place in her heart. She worked at Notre Dame for over 40 years and held the role of President from 2009 onward—over fifteen years! She played an integral part when the school moved twice, and as President she led the community through its Middle States Accreditation, 9/11, becoming a fully accredited member of NYSAIS, the COVID-19 crisis and many physical plant renovations and beautifications. In the spirit of Anne de Xainctonge,

she famously initiated a values-based peer leadership program, Anne's Leaders, that remains woven fully into the fabric of the community.

Sr. Virginia made Notre Dame School a haven and a second home for students, alumnae, Trustees, faculty, and staff. She attended every school event, was a cheerleader for every team, and musical director for many Our Lady of Lourdes Day celebrations. But most importantly, she was an inspiration for our school’s strong spiritual life. Her welcoming and kind demeanor encouraged students of all faiths to develop their own unique relationship with a loving God, and with one another. She had no space for intolerance or hate, but rather fully lived the Gospel and values of the school and expected others to do the same. Anne’s Lamp was in good hands under the leadership of Sr. Virginia.

In her final weeks and hours, Sr. Virginia continued to demonstrate true selflessness and courage when family, colleagues and friends visited. When finding the right words to fill the time would seem challenging, Sr. Virginia managed to ease the tension with laughter and a memorable anecdote. She had a natural way of making you feel comfortable. In part, this is because she always wanted others to experience happiness and profoundly desired everyone to “Love One Another” just as it is stated in the Gospel of John.

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Sr. Virginia was beloved, and her warmth and joy drew so many into our community. She was a truly special individual and strong advocate for all-girls Catholic education. As our thoughts and prayers lifted her up to eternal life, we must now embrace the legacy she left behind and entrusted to us.

As she neared the end, Sr. Virginia remarked, “There is still so much work to do, so much work to do.”

Anne de Xainctonge and Sr. Virginia are two women who bravely attempted to change the whole world. And now the time has come; it is up to each one of us to keep Anne’s Lamp shining brightly so that many more generations of Chez Nous students benefit from a Notre Dame School education.

“We have taken a school and transformed it into a home; and not just any home, but our home. Notre Dame is not just a place where lessons are learned and tests are taken; it is a place where memories are made.”

— Madeleine Alderson (Valedictorian)

SCHOLARSHIP STORIES

89% of the 83 members of the Class of 2025 received academic scholarships at four-year colleges and universities totaling over $26 million.

Ixchel Held-Villasenor Northwestern University My journey at Notre Dame has lasted nearly nine years now, beginning the day I stepped into the building with my older sister as she toured the school. As I joined ND’s Class of 2025 five years later, a desire grew to follow in my sister's footsteps as she began her studies at the University of Virginia on a full scholarship. It became concrete: I was going to college, and I was not going to allow it to be a financial burden for my family. I put my all into school, and the thought of my grades slipping did not exist as a possibility in my mind. In my sophomore year, my wonderful counselor, Ms. Stawski, planted a seed in my head. She told me about “QuestBridge,” an organization that awards full scholarships to high-achieving low-income students. I proceeded through high school as an active member of multiple clubs and participated in many arts-related extracurriculars, with QuestBridge at the forefront of my mind.

I am proud to say that my hard work paid off, and I am currently attending Northwestern University on a full scholarship, which covers tuition, housing, food, and other additional expenses. Majoring in radio, television, and film, I look forward to my future in filmmaking, in which I aspire to use cameras as a lens for social change. I am forever grateful to ND, I do not know where I would be without the support I have received from the faculty and staff throughout the past four years. I hope to serve as an example for other low-income students by sharing how determination and access to resources have a direct impact on reaching one’s fullest potential.

Kaitlyn Owens University of Pennsylvania Stepping into Notre Dame for the first time as a freshman scared me, but that fear quickly faded as ND became my second home. Notre Dame did not just help shape the student I am; it shaped the person I am becoming. Growing up, my parents emphasized the importance of receiving a solid education. My father, who never had the opportunity to attend college, always encouraged me to pursue higher education. His sacrifices and dreams became part of my own, fueling my desire to succeed. That motivation encouraged me to commit myself fully to my academics, extracurriculars, and service hours. The late nights of rigorous coursecourse work in AP classes, attending daily cross-country and track practices, various school clubs, and over 200 community service hours were not easy, but they brought me one step closer to my goals. At ND, I discovered my passion for combining creativity with purpose. Becoming a chapter leader of Sending Sunshine allowed me to combine my interests in mental health advocacy and art by delivering handmade cards to combat depression within communities. As secretary of ND Cares, I found power in how the smallest acts of kindness have large impacts. I am thrilled to share that I am now enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania on a full scholarship. I would not be here without the unwavering support of the people around me. I am endlessly thankful to my teachers, ND staff, and my friends for always encouraging me to try my best.

But most of all, I am grateful for my parents and sister. Their strength and love have made all my accomplishments possible.

Angela Paolini Tulane University When I began my time at Notre Dame, I was more shy than I am now. I remember being at 9th grade Orientation wanting to talk to others and make friends. However, I was too scared to reach out to anyone and I went home disappointed. As the weeks went on, my mother encouraged me to audition for Notre Dame’s Glee and Drama Club. To be entirely honest, I was terrified, but I submitted my audition videos and even came to in-person callbacks. When I learned I was selected for both, I was over the moon with excitement. It was in these clubs where I truly grew into the woman I am today. I was able to easily bond with my Chez Nous sisters who were in the same grade as me, and I had wonderful upperclassmen and directors to look up to; they taught me how to lead with confidence and kindness. It is because of them I, along with my Glee Co-President, Dana, was able to take creative liberties and manage the music program this year at Notre Dame. Without the support and encouragement of my

directors, castmates, and fellow Glee members, I would not have been accepted to Tulane University on a near full scholarship. I plan to bring my newly found sense of confidence and leadership as I begin my next chapter at Tulane. As I double major in Molecular Biology and Musical Theatre, I will never forget all the joy and love that Notre Dame has brought me over these past four years.

SCHOLARSHIP STORIES Samantha Mazariego New York University Transitioning from my middle school, which was only three blocks away from my home in the Bronx, to a high school fifty minutes away in a completely different borough was a nerve wracking experience, but the moment I stepped into Notre Dame, I instantly knew that I found my forever home. I could not wait for all the memories I would make, whether it was attending Ms. Crosson's academic center every morning where I met one of my closest friends, spending all my free periods in Mr. Lejano's computer lab, volunteering for Open Houses or staying after school to help with NHS events. Looking back at my four years at Notre Dame, I can not believe how quickly the time has come to once again start a new chapter in my life. I have always had an idea of the career I would like to pursue, and with the support of my counselors, teachers, and life-long friends, my passion has only grown. Notre Dame will always hold a special place in my heart. The mantra Chez Nous will now become Perstare et Praestare. I am thrilled to share that with the help of Notre Dame, I now attend New

York University on a near full scholarship and I plan to major in psychology.

As I leave the familiar halls of Notre Dame for a large city campus, I carry not only memories, but our Anne’s Values, such as friendship, courage and perseverance, that will guide me through every chapter that follows.

Samantha Soto St. John's University Throughout my time at Notre Dame, I have grown to deeply appreciate the value of being immersed in a community that cherishes the contributions of each and every member; a place where inspiration is endless. This sense of belonging enabled me to cultivate impactful relationships with both my peers and esteemed faculty, relationships that have continuously enlightened me and encouraged me to present the best version of myself.

Being surrounded by such incredible individuals who continually uplift me and challenge me allowed me to explore my passions and hone my talents. Furthermore, they inspired me to meaningfully engage with the world around me through both scholarship and service. I pursued a rigorous academic course load, which included numerous AP and Honors level courses, and sought supplemental education throughout the summer breaks as I enrolled in college level courses at a local community college. Alongside my academics, I participated in service both within the Notre Dame community and beyond.

Through service, I was able to foster the development of communities as vibrant and supportive as Notre Dame. Sister Virginia, a treasured individual within the Notre Dame community, always believed in educating the whole person. I am forever grateful to have received an education that emphasized this philosophy and opened my eyes to the power of service. I am incredibly blessed to share that I am attending St. John’s University on

a near full scholarship, and I will always hold the values of scholarship and service near my heart, remembering my time at Notre Dame.

Cai-Alexis Williams-Lovell Yale University Looking back on my time at Notre Dame, I now truly understand why it is called “Chez Nous” —our home. As a freshman, I knew that I wanted to be deeply involved in my school community, and I immediately felt empowered by all my teachers to put myself out there for leadership roles. I began by running for Student Council homeroom representative and joining ND’s Union of Color. By sophomore year, I was elected Student Council Treasurer, remained an active member of Union of Color, and joined “What is Black?” Through “What is Black?” I formed meaningful bonds with my peers even though we were all in different grades at the time. The “What is Black?” production became something I held close to my heart as well, because it celebrated the richness of Black experience, something that is greatly overlooked in our world. These three extracurricular activities became pillars in my life, and I continued to grow as a leader and a person overall. In junior year, I began to take on even more responsibility within these activities and by senior year, I led all three, gaining insight into the behind-the-scenes work that brings a club or production to life. Leading in this way allowed me to support my fellow Chez Nous sisters, but more importantly, I learned just as much from them as they did from me. All my hard work paid off,

and I am proud to announce that I am attending Yale University on a near full scholarship. I am forever grateful to the Notre Dame community for showing me that anything is possible with perseverance, dedication, and passion.

Andrea Alburquerque Syracuse University My time at Notre Dame was been wonderful and helped me grow both as a learner and person. While I was attending Notre Dame, I felt the school created a safe and empowering environment that inspired me to challenge my growth, advocate for myself and become someone who feels confident among many other capable girls. The moment I entered the building on my first day of my freshmen year I felt welcomed by a community of brightminded and loving girls, as well as brilliant educators. The relationships I have created over the last few years were crucial to my growth and develdevel opment as a human. My teachers and coaches not only pushed me to be the best student-athlete I could be but truly cared to know who I was as a person. Whether it was a science teacher who would hold academic center hours after school or a coach who taught me the importance of perseverance and confidence, I experienced the power of having strong mentors. Receiving a full

scholarship to attend Syracuse University is an incredible opportunity and it will allow me to further develop who I have become as a person, Chez Nous.

My desire is to take the resilience, leadership, and sense of community I learned while attending Notre Dame, and apply it to my new found experiences at Syracuse University.

WHY WE GIVE

Heartfelt Words from Our Parents Nina and Colin P’26 & P’29 As parents of two daughters with very different personalities and interests we feel fortunate to have found ND. The exemplary leadership and staff have mastered that unique art of blending strong curricula and values in a nurturing and forward thinking environment.

ND is a safe space to learn in a turbulent world. Our girls are not oblivious to the challenges that lie ahead, but are taught to face them with grace and compassion. These life lessons are invaluable and are just as important as preparation for college. We feel blessed to be able to send our daughters to ND and want to be a small part of paying it forward. We know our girls have found themselves a warm place, Chez Nous, and we hope others can experience the same sense of community and fellowship that is palpable.

Vivo and Dino P’24 & P’27 We acknowledge that Notre Dame unconditionally provides, to all its students, a quality education that extends beyond the financial reserves received through tuition payments. At the heart of its mission, the school offers an academic environment where all students, even those without the financial means, can attend and thrive. Notre Dame opens many doors, especially to outstanding colleges and universities, and encourages their students to become something great. We are genuinely delighted to have watched our girls transform in many positive ways during their years, Chez Nous.

Melina and Lydia have received an education based on values where they were taught to respect one another and give back to their communities. We should all give, ND is the right cause!

Anna and Mark P’27 We give to Notre Dame because our daughter Emma has had a wonderful experience. ND’s rigorous academic environment has energized her and pushed her to excel. We love the numerous leadership opportunities for girls and the small, family-like feel of Notre Dame. We give to support the school, its wonderful teachers, and all of the great scholarship programs.

Class Notes Arlene Deninger Prendergast ’60 In November 2024, Arlene and her husband, Tom, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a Pilgrimage to Rome, Assisi, Padua, and Venice! What a memorable trip it was to celebrate their blessed milestone!

Maria Rivera-Trudeau ’60 Maria’s husband passed away on March 16, 2025. Our thoughts and prayers are with her, and we wish her peace and strength during this challenging time.

Patricia Cook Hult ’60 After attending her 65th Alumnae Reunion, Patty and her classmates decided to keep more in touch and arranged a time to meet for lunch. And they did! Leigh, Molly, Pat Carlin, Missy and Patty all gathered together. They missed their classmates who live out of the city—Teresa, Lorraine and our faithful class President who always tries to keep us together, Arlene. They had a wonderful time sharing memories and many laughs. They were the first large class at 79th Street with two sections of freshmen accepted in the Fall of 1959.

They were diverse in their interests, but united in spirit and they all look back on their years, Chez Nous, with great affection.

Louise Pociecha Toth ’61 Louise is asking for prayers from the community as she was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and she is having a hard time. She has found a strong support group and she is waiting to see a movement doctor. In light of her own personal challenges, she is still finding the time to make blessing bags, which she gives away to the

homeless. She knits with her church healing hands prayer blankets for those sick and suffering. She also has two beautiful great grandchildren (5 yr & 3 yr) who live on the East Coast, but she has been unable to meet them as she has had to give up a lot of physical activities. She plays Mah Jongg with friends and online each day, as well as scrabble. She is also walking a mile each day as everything helps. God is always with her, but she misses her days Chez Nous.

Stephanie Pinto ’62 Stephanie has been organizing and holding Zoom forums for both Manhattan Civil Court candidates, as well as NYS Supreme Court Candidates running for permanent seats in Manhattan. She has also held Zoom Teach-In forums for Manhattan Democratic Judicial Delegates on the selection process. Judicial Delegates vote in an annual convention to determine which candidates will be on the November ballot. To balance work, she continues to work in her garden upstate. Stephanie has largely recovered from an auto accident she suffered in Madrid two years ago, where she was hospitalized for two months. She is finally able to go back to Madrid this fall to see her dear Spanish friends, (her “Spanish family”) from 1964-65 when she met them at the University of Madrid while studying abroad.

main reason for going was to see Notre Dame restored. They found it to be truly breathtaking, including the building itself, the art, sculptures, and the magnificent new altar. The most treasured part of their visit was attending Mass. The spirit of the congregation was overwhelming.

Eileen’s French is very limited (many years have passed since she took French with Mother Genevieve), but it also wasn’t necessary. The feelings of faith and community spoke for themselves. They continued their days in Paris and finished with a stay at Disneyland which thrilled their little ones. Eileen is so grateful to have had this lovely experience. Photographed as follows: Eileen O’Donohue Adkins, Mary Jane Adkins Kowert, Doris Kowert (6) and Eileen Kowert (3).

Katherine Kelly Niznansky ’65 Kathy attended her Alumnae Reunion in May and saw no one from her class!

She was disappointed to say the least.

She is a retired Social Studies Teacher with four children and four grandchildren who all live close by in Fairfield.

She feels very fortunate. Kathy stays active by playing plenty of tennis and bikes often. She would love to hear from some of her classmates!

Eileen O’Donohue Adkins ’65 Last April, Eileen had the wonderful opportunity to accompany her daughter and two granddaughters to Paris. Their 43

Rosemary DeNatale Dineen ’73 Rosemary went on a choir tour in Paris this summer. Her husband Matt joined her, along with their son Jerome and his girlfriend, Tyla. It was a great trip!

Highlights included: The Metro, the architecture, and the food! Rosemary is grateful for all the French she learned from Marian O’Grady, and to Sister Mary Walsh for introducing her to choral singing, Chez Nous!

A LU M N A S P O T L I G H T

Maria Ann Basso Lipani ’94 In the fall of 1990, I walked into the St. Mark’s Place building as a shy, uncertain 14year-old who wanted to succeed in life but had no idea what that meant. Today I am a wife, mother, and health care leader. After losing my father as a freshman at American University, I discovered the field of social work and went on to earn my Master’s Degree at Columbia University. Six years ago, I was promoted to Vice President at Mount Sinai Health System. To date, a program I founded there has served more than 70,000 patients with complex medical conditions and their families. Each of these personal and professional accomplishments ties back to a gift I received from ND. First, the gift of friendship. Few alumnae can say this, but I owe both my marriage and my daughter, Claire, to my friendship with Laura Lipani, a classmate whose warmth and generosity I was immediately drawn to on the first day of our freshman year. Laura and I became fast friends and I adored her. So when she told me she wanted to introduce me to her brother at the first Xavier dance, I didn’t hesitate. This

“My connection to ND is forever and my life has been profoundly blessed by it. ”

year, Louis and I will celebrate 24 years of marriage. Laura is not only my dearest friend but also Claire’s beloved aunt. Without ND—and this transformational friendship—my life would look very different.

Second, the gift of a stellar education. My fondest ND memories were undoubtedly the debates in Mr. Rapaglia’s history classes, Sr. Virginia’s counseling seminar, and all four years of Spanish with Ms. Harrington. From Mr. Rapaglia I learned not only to form and present an argument, but more importantly, to find and value my own voice. From Sr. Virginia I learned what it meant to support someone who was struggling - an experience that unknowingly planted a vocational seed. And from Ms. Harrington, I learned the value of perseverance through struggle and that with hard work it is possible to do the impossible.

The fingerprints of Mr. Rapaglia, Sr. Virginia and Ms. Harrington are on everything I have ever accomplished professionally.

Third, the gift of community. The significance of the ND community was most palpable to me about a year ago at an alumnae event when I unexpectedly reconnected with ten classmates I hadn’t seen in 30 years. As we toured the school at West 13th Street, our connections to one another felt just as strong as they did during our time at ND. It wasn’t the building, because we never attended classes there. It was our shared history and the bonds that had been formed in small classrooms, nurtured by exceptional teachers who called us to be our best everyday.

My connection to ND is forever and my life has been profoundly blessed by it.

She also volunteers at ANFAS, where she works one-on-one with two girls to support their verbal and written communication skills. Lucia writes, “Both experiences have deeply enriched my time in Spain and reminded me why I chose to study psychology in the first place.”

Back Story

Rigobert Chery

I

t was the summer of 1985 when I started working for Notre Dame School, alongside the Sisters of St. Ursula. The school felt unique. It felt like a home. A peaceful place where students could relax and learn at the same time. A place where I could settle. Before coming to ND,

I worked for the Local 6 Union, lots of routine boring work, with no personal connections. The Sisters immediately impressed me with their educational backgrounds, bilingual talents and global mindsets. They have been responsible for teaching thousands of deserving girls for many years, both abroad and here in the United States. Working in an all-girls setting was also new to me. At first, I was hired for a temporary position as I filled in for another employee, but then I was blessed to receive a call from Sr. Mary when the job became permanently available. I wasn’t sure if I wanted the position because my previous work had been more of a clerical, paperwork sort. But, Sr. Mary quickly persuaded me into the role.

“The job today is not like it was in the beginning. Everything changes. But somehow, all of us from back then are the same —we never age.”

She is good at that, as many of you know.

When the school moved to St. Mark’s Place from West 79th Street, the new owner of 79th Street tried to hire me. Once again, Sr. Mary intervened and talked me into moving with the school. To this day, I have never regretted remaining loyal, Chez Nous.

The job today is not like it was in the beginning. Everything changes. But somehow, all of us from back then are the same—we never age. When I began, it was just me. Now I manage a team of four maintenance workers. On West 13th Street in the heart of the West Village, we have found a new home with a new community.

I work hard to keep up the school’s reputation every day. Sr. Virginia was meticulous when it came to how she managed the building, but if it wasn’t for her and our Board of Trustees our facilities would not be what they are today.

Notre Dame School has changed my life tremendously for the past forty years. The only thing they won’t let me do is graduate—unlike the students, I keep coming back year after year! I think after all these years, my time at Notre Dame has been a true blessing. I love this community and I cannot thank the school enough for keeping me on through all the ups and downs.

I am grateful to have seen four decades of graduations. A handful of graduates have even returned to teach and others just enjoy coming back to visit or party at our many events, particularly Alumnae Reunion! When they come back and see that Mr. Chery never graduated, they say, “You are still here!” and I whisper, “I’m still learning.”
