FROM THE DESK OF SUE DILISIO

Dear DLFF Scholars, Parents, Educational and Community Partners,

Please join me in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Danaher Lynch Family Foundation and the vision that Tom and Patty Lynch embraced in helping to unleash the potential of people in our community. This issue of Connections, while focused on what our DLFF team has accomplished over these past several months, speaks volumes about Tom and Patty’s initial vision and the mission that has blossomed into what DLFF is today.

“Discovering the Why, the What and the Impact” is a theme that our DLFF team has woven into everything we’ve worked on with our scholars and our colleagues this year. Learning why we do things moves us in the direction of accomplishment. Understanding what we can do inspires us. Observing the impact of what we have done creates awareness of the many ways we have and can continue to make a difference.

DLFF has certainly grown in every area. Our team, with its multi-talented members, has enabled us to expand our support within educational and community settings. Our scholars have continued to learn, grow, and embrace the core traits of our program. Both CEC and Pathway scholars demonstrate responsibility, accountability, initiative, leadership, and a commitment to service, and as a result are unleashing their potential.

As with any anniversary, it’s natural to look back and reflect on the journey that has taken place. I am pleased and proud to say that the DLFF journey has been an amazing one. DLFF has grown in purpose and experience, impact and awareness, community and connection.

Thank you Tom and Patty for giving all of us the opportunity to serve and help unleash potential over these past 10 years. We look forward to continuing our mission through understanding the Why, the What and the Impact of our foundation.

Sincerely,

PATHWAY SCHOLARS PROGRAM

Scholars Liaison

This year, our Elementary Team, comprised of Kathy Shegda, Brian Wurtz, Jahmai Person, and former liaison Kate Rice, worked together to increase opportunities to engage the Pathway Scholars. As in the past, the year began in November with the Pathway Leadership Workshop (pictured, bottom left) and ended in late March with our Pathways Exclusive: Dinner and a Show (pictured, bottom right). This year, the focus was on the DLFF trait of Initiative During the Leadership Workshop, the scholars participated in an activity to develop the trait of initiative by creating a plan to facilitate the Greeting Card Project in their school. Some even led a collection drive for their community partner! A big shout out to our scholars in the following schools who showed great initiative by organizing these drives:

St. Michael the Archangel – Coat drive for Family Service Association

Holy Trinity – PB&J Drive for Ivins Outreach

St. Ignatius – Baby Product Drive for Cradle of Hope

Our Lady of Grace – Snack Drive for Ronald McDonald House

For the spring Dinner and a Show, scholars gathered at CEC for a look behind the scenes of CEC’s “Spirit Night.” Continuing with our theme of taking initiative, they heard from some of CEC’s Spirit Night Captains on the importance of initiative in their job as captains. The scholars enjoyed dinner, then got an exclusive sneak peek of some of the performances by the Blue and White Teams! It was a wonderful culminating event for our hard-working scholars.

What’s new this year? Initiatives in STEM and Creative Arts were introduced and piloted by several of our elementary schools. A four-week STEM Rocket Launch Workshop led by Brian Wurtz was presented to 8th grade students at Holy Trinity and St. Michael the Archangel. A six-week Creative Arts initiative, Character Development in Writing, led by Jahmai Person, was presented to the 8th grade students at Our Lady of Grace and Holy Family Regional School. Both programs were met with great enthusiasm and success in our pilot schools. We are working on expanding these programs to include more of our partner schools in the next school year. Stay tuned. ■

DLFF/CEC SCHOLAR MENTOR PROGRAM NEWS

TheDLFF CEC high school scholars program has had a robust year filled with impactful scholar-initiated projects and events.

The DLFF scholar mentor program focuses on developing the traits of accountability, initiative, responsibility, service, and leadership within each and every scholar. This year, our team has been continually impressed by our scholars regularly taking initiative by creating and embracing opportunities for leadership in community service.

Our scholar mentor program keeps the DLFF mission “to help unleash the potential of the people in our community,” at the heart of all of its goals and projects. In order to best support our scholars and to deepen their high school experience, our DLFF mentor team is focused by grade levels, making for easier communication and access to the appropriate resources available at CEC. This streamlined approach has tightened relationships between the DLFF scholar mentees and with the CEC counseling team, career services offered through the Center for Student Leadership, the international student population through the P.A.L.S. program (Peer Assimilation with Local Scholars), and finally, with academic tutors through CEC’s Academic Resource Center. Our scholars are always welcome to seek support from any of the DLFF mentors as they navigate their way through their formative high school years. We are honored to play even a small role in helping our students to connect the dots as they learn and mature. In addition to our mentor program, another highlight of the scholar

program this year has been the increased involvement of the Scholar Leadership Council (also known as the SLC). These nine students have taken on the additional responsibility of serving as leaders for their fellow scholars in various capacities. Most recently, the SLC worked as a team on a service project to collect clothing for the NovaBucks organization.

We are pleased to acknowledge the members of the 2022-2023 Scholar Leadership Council:

Grade Level Representatives: Freshmen – Andrew Haney and Alessia Romano

Sophomore – Calleigh Joyce

Junior – Scott Ray

Senior – Liliana Dias

Representatives for Scholar

Program Projects and Events: Fine Arts – Monica Cunningham Service – Brooke Bannon

Special Events – Nya Ivery

SLC Liaison – Brianna McFadden

DLFF is grateful to the 2022-2023 SLC members for their leadership and dedication to the scholar program!

The scholars had a lot of fun this semester while making an impact! The February All-Scholar Meeting was the perfect opportunity for the DLFF Scholars to share their experiences following their service team projects. The March Pi Day Scholar Social was a great way for the scholars to spend time with one another while enjoying a variety of delicious pies – pizza pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, cookies and cream pie, chocolate chip cookie pie, and even a few rounds of the Pie Face game.

Our graduating scholars have had quite the unique high school experience. With the Covid pandemic hitting in March of their freshman year, these students have had to face challenges unlike many others, and especially during such a transitional time of their lives. From mentor meetings via Zoom to remote community service projects such as making Christmas cards for seniors, our scholars have pushed through adversity, showing grit and determination to continue serving the community. We will be sad to see them leave CEC, but we are just as excited to see where the next chapter will take them. ■

The Year in Review: Building Community Through Service

The DLFF Scholars really stepped up their commitment to service this year. We are very happy to share that the scholars have already surpassed the total number of volunteer hours from last year. Our scholars have completed over 800 hours of community service and helped approximately 41 different organizations.

This year, DLFF Scholars participated in our first DLFF Service Fair. Like a job fair, community partners were invited to CEC to share what their non-profit does for the community and the type of projects that the team would complete. We have received positive feedback from our partners and our scholars and are looking forward to a similar format next year.

We attribute the success of our service program to providing our scholars with different types of volunteer projects and the flexibility to plan the best time of the school

year to volunteer. We give many thanks to our four community partners for meeting with our scholars to discuss how they can address problems in their community.

The Christmas Gala Team

Led by Mrs. Maggie Fischer

"I really enjoyed working with the Christmas Gala because it allowed the elderly to recognize that they are not alone and that they still have people that deeply care for them."

The Christmas Gala’s mission is to provide the joy of Christmas year-round to senior citizens who are typically low-income and often have no family. The Christmas Gala has a variety of programs including the Angel Program (which provides Christmas presents to seniors) and the Surprise-A-Senior Program (which provides gift bags of essential items yearround).

Team accomplishments:

• Helped collect and organize Christmas gifts for the Angel Tree at Conwell-Egan. The 2022 Angel Program provided over 1,000 gift bags to seniors in Bucks County.

• Created handmade cards to spread cheer to the seniors

• Decorated 200 “spring themed” bags for the Surprise-A-Senior program

The Holy Trinity Team

Led by Mrs. Kathy Shegda

Scholars on this team volunteered weekly at Holy Trinity School in Morrisville with their after-school Homework Zone. Scholars on this team were mentors to younger children looking for assistance with their schoolwork or with their after-school clubs.

Team Accomplishments: 192 hours volunteered Club

Assistance: Flag Football League, Robotics Club

The Creative Arts Team

Co-led by Mr. Jahmai Person and Ms. Kristin Addis

“I had so much joy knowing that my artwork was going to brighten someone’s house and make them smile. I loved being able to share my passion and love for art with those in my community, while also being able to make a difference.”

The Creative Arts Team was a new venture led by DLFF’s, Mr. Jahmai Person. This team recruited students who wanted to share their creative talents. The team worked with two nonprofits this year: The Christmas Gala and The United Way.

Team

Accomplishments:

• For the Christmas Gala, the team held a two-day Caroling and Craft event at local senior communities; they also led a craft workshop for clients of the Active Day Care Center in Bristol.

• For the United Way, the team stopped by the United Way offices and sang to staff and volunteers; Scholars on this team also created artwork that was donated to clients served by The United Way.

The Family Service Team

Led by Mrs. DiLisio

“The opportunity to serve on the Family Service Team made a great impact on me. I learned not only how the smallest things can have a big impact on people and families but also to be grateful for everything.”

The mission of Family Service Association of Bucks County (FSA) is to listen, care, and help every day. They offer a variety of programs for individuals and families in Bucks County who need support, from a recovery program to housing insecurity.

Team accomplishments:

• Collecting and organizing coats for FSA’s annual coat drive

• Collecting and organizing toys for FSA’s annual holiday shop.

• Volunteering regularly at the emergency shelter organizing food in their food pantry and donations in their garages. ■

Counseling Updates

The WHY: This past year, the Counseling Center was dedicated to Father Fidelis Weber TOR, who was a longtime Guidance Director at CEC. A dedication ceremony will be in the near future to celebrate the success and growth of how far the Counseling Center has come. The CEC community is so fortunate to have a counselor for each grade level. This helps provide an individual experience to each student that can help with their development as a high school student. We want to make the transition from grade school to high school as easy as possible for our students and families. We have two of our school counselors teach the freshman and sophomore seminar classes. This is very beneficial to our students. This allows students to learn about different topics surrounding mental health, college and career, and offers tips and tricks to learning success. Being school counselors at CEC and working in the community we serve allows us to build personal relationships with our students and parents. Being in a small private, Catholic school, we are able to find out what the student and family goals are and how we can help them succeed.

The WHAT: Throughout the 2022-2023 school year, the student body enjoyed a myriad of assemblies that discuss mental health issues, healthy relationships, and college fairs. The freshmen and sophomores have become accustomed

to high school trials and errors and are ready to move up. The juniors pushed themselves through the most challenging year of high school academically as well as studied and took the SAT. They are prepared to apply to college in the fall. The Class of 2023 have applied, been accepted, and are going to colleges and universities far and wide. The senior class has received over $18 million dollars in scholarships. We also have three students that will be serving our country.

The IMPACT: With the help of DLFF and the ability to have four counselors in the CEC building, we are finally able to see the impact this is having on our students and their families. The consistency of the staff being able to teach within the freshman and sophomore seminar classes has enabled us to see growth from the underclassmen to upperclassmen when it comes to maturity, academic success, and college preparedness. Upperclassmen are coming into senior year ready and willing to apply to college before they step foot into the building for their senior year. We are seeing end results through our data platform SCUTA, which allows us to capture growth from our students, why we are seeing them, what we need to see them for, and how we can better our School Counseling program. We feel grateful that we are able to have such close relationships with our students, know every student’s name, and know that we are making a difference in their lives when they are here. ■

CONGRATS GRADS!

This year, the Counseling Center worked with CEC seniors to help them earn over $18 million in scholarships for their efforts in and out of the classroom. The graduates plans after high school are rich in diversity and will include service in the military, joining the workforce, entering the seminary, and attending college.

SOWING SEEDS OF service

Spring was a busy time in the garden at the Bucks County Emergency Shelter. Regular garden maintenance by residents and volunteers this spring has helped produce an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables for the shelter’s residents.

This garden was built from the ground up five years ago, by DLFF & CEC students with the vision and guidance of Snipes Farm and Education Center. Recently renamed the Hope and Healing Garden, the garden will help encourage hope and healing for those who take care of the garden and reside at the shelter.

The Director of Education at Snipes Farm, Melanie Douty, is passionate about transforming the garden into a space of beauty and tranquility. “Beauty helps us find serenity,” says Douty. “I want to be able to make the most of the space and provide nutritious food and education to the residents in the shelter and their staff; that is what is important.”

The produce and herbs harvested from the garden will be used in cooking demos at the shelter to help teach residents how to prepare easy and delicious meals that have nutritional value.

DLFF is working with Snipes and Family Service to organize and create videos to teach residents and volunteers how to maintain the garden.

Each gardening season provides a new opportunity for growth - and its not just the plants that are growing. Learning how to garden teaches us patience, problem-solving and life skills.

Volunteer opportunities for the Hope and Healing Garden will continue year-round. If you are passionate about Family Service, gardening, or community service, please contact Mrs. Pam Lynch. ■

STEM IN ACTION ST. EPHREM

Looking at the impact of investment at St. Ephrem School in Bensalem, PA.

Urooj Tauseef wants students to leave St. Ephrem school knowing how to apply math and science in real life. As the lead teacher for the technology and STEM iniatives, Tauseef is determined to expose students to challenging concepts in her weekly STEM class with students in 5-8 grades. When the Principal, Sister Shaun Thomas, IHM, asked Tauseef to take on the STEM initative after seeing her projects in Advanced Math, Tauseef jumped at the opportunity. With a background in computer science, math, statistics and coding, she continues to create her own curriculum that includes lessons in probability, architecture, gravity, operations, and more.

“I really like seeing a project come together at the end - it’s so satisfying,” said eighth grader Juliana Nizio. “I really enjoy creating new things and STEM class has even improved my performance in other subjects,” she added.

Seventh grader Vincent Riccio says the concepts that he’s been introduced to in STEM class has improved his ability to understand mathematical concepts better in school and that he did better on the Terra Nova tests this year.

Tauseef adds that the students also learn from one another, asking questions and allowing their classmates to make mistakes as they troubleshoot projects they work on together.

DLFF is proud to continue investing in programs like these that truly inspire an individual’s growth, confidence, and the ability to recognize their own unlimited potential.

DLFF INCREASES IMPACT IN THE ARTS CREATIVE ARTS

The DLFF Performing Arts program has taken on a whole new identity! Introducing The Creative Arts Program, or CAP at DLFF. The team noted that it was necessary to “...[reflect] the various levels and expression of Arts reflected within our scholars." Since the Foundation has internally renamed its program, the team has been introducing a new CAP Scholar structure and finding new ways to connect to its communities.

A new opportunity added to this new structure grants all CAP Scholars to be admitted into the Creative Arts Team (CATs). CATs are charged with “...carrying out acts of service through the arts," such as creating original artwork pieces to donate to The United Way of Bucks County (UWBC). During this partnership, a theme of “Welcoming our World'' was created as Sheri Ratner, UWBC HELP Center Manager, expressed the United Way team’s efforts to recognize the many cultures represented in their client base. These works sat in a month-long exhibit at the United Way Help Center in Fairless Hills, before being donated to families in need.

Continuing the CAP Scholars impact, when the holidays rolled in, the CATs went on tour! With a project called Christmas Carol Cheer, the CATs visited local senior centers, schools, and even performed for a community

Christmas brunch to spread holiday cheer to roughly 500 community members over two days.

The continued trend of increasing impact within the arts allowed the Creative Arts Program to announce the CAP Initiative. Described as “...[the] collective effort to excite the creative arts”, this initiative takes the form of workshops and experiences. Students at Holy Family Regional Catholic School of Fairless Hills and Our Lady of Grace School (OLG) in Penndel have participated in workshops offered by the CAP Initiative. During the school day, students learned from Kathy Shegda and Jahmai Person, team members at DLFF, about literary values to prepare students for High School Language Arts. In their most recent project, the CAP Initiative is also responsible for partnering with OLG to re-open its doors to performing arts. The school hosted a large gathering for the premier of “The History of OLG”, a skit written in 1989 in anticipation of the school’s 100th year anniversary, which is being celebrated this year. The audience was filled with schoolmates, clergy, teachers, parents, and community members eager to see their students in lights. Through experiences like these, the DLFF CAP ultimately hopes to continue unleashing potential by sharing experiences that validate and nurture the importance of one's creative expression. ■

Investing in our Partners Provides Long-Term Benefits

DLFF helps to impact communities and bring them together. Out of every facet of work that DLFF takes pride in, the success of our community partners and their endeavors is surely at the top of the list. That is exactly why we could not be more excited as a Foundation to have sponsored two of our elementary partners’ flagship fundraisers. These events bring those communities together and in doing so, will help unleash the potential of the students for years to come.

The first event, Grace’s 100th Anniversary Gala, culminated the yearlong celebration for the school’s century mark. The legacy that OLG has worked tirelessly to create over the past 100 years was on full display June 2 and DLFF was proud to sponsor this incredible night. The best part of this event, as fun as it was, is the fact that all of the proceeds ultimately benefit the school with tens of thousands of dollars in new funding. These generous gifts will be used to help keep current families and welcome new ones at the school through tuition assistance while expanding upon the cutting-

edge technology and wonderful programs that OLG is quickly becoming known for.

The yearly Brian F. David Memorial Golf Tournament serves as the single largest annual fund fundraiser that Holy Family Regional Catholic School hosts over the course of a school year. DLFF has proudly sponsored this event in the past and is excited to do so in 2023 and beyond. This event is in honor and memory of Brian David, a former Holy Family student who tragically lost his life in 2014. His legacy shines brightly through this event which brings together alumni, teachers, supporters, and friends of the school in the hopes of helping to carry out its mission. Thanks to the funds raised by this event, impressive technological strides, from 3D printers to robotics, have been made by HFRCS while remaining grounded in their Catholic identity and values.

The impact of these two events will surely ripple over the course of the next several years. It will go beyond the number of attendees and the amount of monies raised. The true effect can be seen in due time, through the superiority of the curriculum and the quality of the

It was quite a year for our scholars, mentors, partners, and friends of DLFF! Take a look back at some news and notables throughout this past fall, winter, and spring.

On November 9, the second annual Pathway Scholars Workshop welcomed 60 Pathway Scholars to CEC and included dinner and an interactive lesson about "taking initative."

On November 17, our PALS (Peer Assimilation with Local Scholars) students prepared a traditional Thanksgiving feast for the international students at CEC.

Throughout the winter, DLFF Scholars from the Christmas Gala Service Team made birthday cards during lunch periods to be delivered to someone celebrating their 100th birthday.

DLFF hosted a Pi Day Scholar Social on March 14 to celebrate Pi Day! Our Scholars enjoyed Pi Day-themed food and wrote cards for seniors, in partnership with The Christmas Gala, for the Surprise-a-Senior program.

This past April, members from the DLFF Team and Board visited our partners at YMCA Morrisville and YMCA Newtown to serve as Mystery Readers in preschool and kindergarten classrooms.

Pathway Scholars at St. Ignatius ran a Baby Products Drive throughout the month of April. Led by Pathway Scholars Maddie DeLeonardo and Sophia Malaty, the drive collected a variety of baby items that were donated to Cradle of Hope.

The third annual NOVA Bucks County clothing drive at CEC ran from April 11-May 15 and collected a grand total of 43 donation bags. DLFF CEC Scholars Brianna McFadden ‘24 and Brooke Bannon ‘25 led the collection along with the help of Brooke McFadden ‘24 who helped collect donations, and Liliana Dias ‘23 who created the flyer to promote the drive.

DLFF Scholars Cole Pustay ‘25 and Liliana Dias ‘23 used their artistic talents in a form of service to create motivational artwork to be displayed at the Family Service Association (FSA) Bucks County Homeless Shelter this past May

On June 1, the DLFF Senior Scholars and mentors gathered in the CSL at CEC to celebrate and reflect on the last four years of their time as DLFF Scholars. Good luck, Class of 2023!
