Middle School Musical Collaboration This spring, our Middle School students joined with boys at Brunswick School to perform in their eighth annual collaborative musical theater production. The students presented “Stars” to an audience of Brunswick and Sacred Heart families, faculty and friends on April 30 and May 1. “Many thanks to Mr. Alexander Constantine, Brunswick’s Middle School drama teacher, for leading the group to create such a beautiful show,” said David Olson, head of Sacred Heart’s Middle School. Sacred Heart performers included Elizabeth Colligan ’20, Isabel Davenport ’19, Elle de Alessandrini ’20, Kristina Desai ’21, Erin Dowrich ’20, Piper Gilbert ’21, Bridget Hamlet ’20, Caroline Janney ’19, Sarah Mickley ’21, Jenna Washington ’20 and Ursula Wise ’21.

In honor of Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ, a pioneer in the education of young women, whose centenary we celebrated in 2014, Sacred Heart established the Stuart Scholarship. At the age of 13, Janet Erskine Stuart set out on a deep search for truth and understanding. Committed to educational excellence throughout her life, she has inspired countless students and educators to pursue their dreams. Perhaps this quote of hers says it best: “Your life is a sacred journey. It is about change, growth, discovery, movement and transformation….It is continually expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching yourself, teaching you to see clearly and deeply, helping you to listen to your intuition.” It is in this spirit that we are pleased to award the Stuart Scholarship to the following incoming and rising ninth-grade students: • Emma DeMartino from Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, Conn. • Mary Anne Gallagher from Saints John & Paul School in Larchmont, N.Y. • Natalia Pazos from Saint Patrick’s School in Bedford, N.Y. • Meredith Wilson from Somers Middle School in Somers, N.Y. Each Stuart Scholar will receive a merit award of $10,000 for each of her four years in our Upper School. “Mrs. Hayes and the Scholarship Committee enjoyed meeting these students during the interview process and were impressed with their academic records and insightful essays,” said Catherine Cullinane, director of admission and financial aid. Sacred Heart congratulates these young women as they carry on the legacy of Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ.
