Letter from the President

Dear Friends,

Sister Mary Francis Xavier Warde, one of the original Sisters of Mercy and the foundress of the order in the United States, said, “To instruct is an easy matter, but to educate requires ingenuity, energy, and perseverance without end.”

Having completed my fifth year as president of Gwynedd Mercy, I am ever mindful of how fortunate I am to work with faculty and staff

whose commitment to preparing young women leaders for service to the world is unparalleled; a student body whose drive for learning and excellence impresses me each day; and alumnae, parents, and friends whose ongoing gifts of time, talent, and treasure make an immeasurable difference at our great Academy.

Simply put, everything we achieve at Gwynedd Mercy is made possible by you—our dedicated and generous school community—and by our founders, the Sisters of Mercy, whose examples of faithful service and courageous acts of Mercy continue to light our way.

The following report highlights significant milestones achieved by our community during the 2021-22 academic year including the launch of our new academic schedule called Monarchs in Motion and our Distinguished Speakers Series on Women and Leadership. Products of our “She is the Future” strategic plan, both initiatives have served to greatly enhance and enrich our community. We are also pleased to share the many accomplishments of our students and to celebrate the ongoing and generous support of our donors.

Thank you for embodying our Mercy mission and for ensuring “She is the Future.”

In gratitude and Mercy,

Denise Corkery Marbach ’72, P’05, ’09 President

A Lesson in GRIT from Angela Duckworth

GRIT Author Kicks Off Distinguished Speaker Series

On the evening of March 24, Gwynedd Mercy launched its Distinguished Speaker Series on Women and Leadership with Dr. Angela Duckworth, author of The New York Times number one bestseller, “GRIT: The Power of Passion and Perseverance.” Her TED talk on the subject is among the most viewed of all time, so it was no surprise that this complimentary event was fully subscribed by 500 members of our community including students, parents, alumnae, faculty, staff, and community partners.

The speaker series is part of our “She is the Future” strategic plan leadership initiative to provide meaningful opportunities to prepare young women for the call of leadership; it is designed to bring strong, successful women who demonstrate ethical leadership and inspire boldness to campus. This year’s inaugural event was made possible by the Edward E. Ford Foundation and all who supported the Foundation’s Challenge Grant, the Patriarch Family Foundation, and BLBB Charitable.

Growing up in a family obsessed with achievement, Dr. Duckworth had a passion for finding the ingredients to the “success recipe.” Today, she is the co-founder and chief scientist of a non-profit called Character Lab and serves as the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. As a psychologist and researcher, she has studied all types of world class achievers and discovered that “it’s not just talent that changes the world and makes someone live a great life of achievement; it’s also grit.”

“World class achievers have a combination of passion and perseverance for long term goals,” says Dr. Duckworth. While talent is a part of their success, they need effort to unlock their talent and turn it into skill. They then need to apply their skill and, by that kind of application of effort, create achievements that change the world for the better. “Maybe talent counts, but effort in this way counts twice,” says Dr. Duckworth. Luck and opportunity play a part, too.

Grit links up with the modern cognitive science of how human beings learn anything, and it can be built, cultivated, and even accelerated. Dr. Duckworth emphasizes four suggestions on how to build grit:

Get in touch with your interests.

World class achievers find something they are so passionate about that they are willing to work hard enough to develop world class expertise. Strive to develop your passion and a consistency in what you care about. When asked how to find or determine one’s passion, Dr. Duckworth offered there are no straight lines in life. It is messy and circuitous, and we learn by trial and error. We must “try things out” and, when something doesn’t work, “see it as a victory because we have learned something about ourselves and the world.”

Develop a daily routine of expert practice.

It is not the quantity of practice; it is the quality. Take something you want to do well and break it down into smaller parts/skills. Then pick one part/skill that is a bit harder than the rest and deliberately practice it with absolute concentration. Even short deliberate practice sessions, such as 15 minutes a day, are powerful. It is also super important to seek feedback from others and have the strength to listen and accept it. We cannot learn anything unless we let feedback in. Expert practice is not necessarily fun or easy, but it is most effective. The higher your grit score, the more deliberate practice you log and the better your ranking in objective measure of skill.

Cultivate purpose beyond the self-motivation for life and work.

There is a super strong correlation between grit and “beyond the self-motivation” (pleasure, comfort, etc.) for life and work. Research shows that world class achievers who are really changing the world and have matured enough to understand their calling also consider what will benefit other people, feel they have a responsibility to make the world a better place, and/or feel that their life has lasting meaning. When ready, we might want to renew and remind ourselves of our “beyond the self” purpose.

Have a growth mindset.

When you are challenged, having a really hard time, or simply just failing, a growth mindset gives you a rational reason to get up again, to look back and learn something, and then to look forward and keep going. Don’t quit on a bad day. Instead look at hard times and failings as information and learning opportunities.

with Kristen Kane Ford ’00 Q&A

Dr. Duckworth also offered additional nuggets of wisdom with Q&A moderator Kristin Kane Ford ’00, a member of Gwynedd Mercy’s Leadership Advisory Council.

Have you seen any fluctuations in resilience because of the pandemic?

When people say, ‘I am burnt out,’ these feelings are real. All emotions are real. They are signals. When we are feeling burnt out, maybe the grittiest thing we can do is give ourselves a break and don’t think less of ourselves. It is not the end of the road for our grit.

How do you silence distractions?

There is a technique called situation modification, which refers to altering one’s physical environment. The wisest, smartest people just change their situations. For instance, put your phone away and out of reach for a time.

What advice do you have for people being compared to others?

Most world class achievers don’t want to beat others; they want to beat themselves. They want to be more excellent today than they were yesterday. Train your mind mostly to compare yourself with yourself. What really matters is your personal record.

With anxiety, ADHD, and depression so prevalent, what advice do you have to help with focus?

Therapy is awesome. Think of a therapist as a coach whose job is to help you get better. So many accomplished, strong achievers who are admired suffer with mental health, and our society finally waking up to these issues is a very good thing. Know that the grittiest of the gritty are more vulnerable and more likely the ones to ask for help.

How can parents help our kids?

Model a growth mindset. When your child succeeds, you should celebrate. And when you or your child fails, you should take it as the same thing: information, life, and an opportunity to grow and learn.

“If we can all get a little psychologically wiser,” offered Dr. Duckworth, “then in the best ‘beyond the self’ way, I do think we can make the world a better place.”

New, Innovative Academic Schedule Prepares our Monarchs to Fly

When Gwynedd Mercy launched its bold community-informed strategic plan “She is the Future” three years ago, ambitious goals in the areas of academic innovation, leadership, and wellness were introduced to educate, inspire, and empower generations of women leaders; enough to make one wonder, “How in the world are we going to find the time to do it all?”

Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, our school community persevered. Academic leadership engaged faculty, staff, students, and a professional consultant from Independent School Management (ISM) to deliver a schedule that would allow Gwynedd Mercy to cross traditional barriers and deliver an authentic and innovative educational experience rooted in Mercy values.

Without delay, our new neuro researched-based academic schedule called Monarchs in Motion was introduced for the 2021-22 academic year. Today, it is receiving rave reviews.

“Monarchs in Motion is an innovative framework that prioritizes student well-being, leading edge educational strategies for optimal learning, and our mission to educate, inspire, and empower young women to be merciful in spirit, innovative in thought, and courageous in leadership,” says Dean of Academics Anne Casavecchia. “It’s a daily game changer for our students, faculty, and staff.”

While students still carry a full course load all year long, the new schedule allows for deeper exploration of content and enhanced learning through 60-minute classes, rather than our traditional 40 minutes; fewer classes each day, four rather than seven; and a rotating schedule, so a class is not held at the same time each day.

Dr. Barbara Beachley, ISM’s Executive Director of Learning and Development, offered that a 60-minute class provides optimal time for teaching methods that promote greater retention, such as discussion and simulation rather than a lecture.

HIGHLIGHTS

• 60-minute classes allow for deeper exploration of content and enhanced learning by providing optimal time for teaching methods such as discussion and simulation rather than a lecture.

• Fewer classes each day (four rather than seven) allows students more time for generative processing, leading to deeper understanding and retention of content.

• The new rotating schedule ensures students will not always have their most challenging class first thing in the morning when they might be most tired, and that they will not have the same subject impacted at the end of each day due to early dismissals for sports or other activities.

• Time to meet students’ holistic needs is built in to the schedule. The Wellness Curriculum furthers students’ intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, financial, and occupational wellness.

• Daily Community Time is dedicated to assemblies, liturgies, clubs, and more.

• Unstructured “What I Need” period furthers students’ emotional and social development and builds time management skills.

Also, fewer classes per day allow students more time for generative processing, when connections are made between new and existing knowledge, leading to deeper understanding and retention of content.

Studies also suggest that students do best with any academic subject at their individually preferred time of day. So, our new rotating schedule ensures students will not always have their most challenging class first thing in the morning when they might be most tired, and that they will not have the same subject impacted at the end of each day due to early dismissals for sports or other activities.

“We also have built in time to meet the holistic needs of students,” says Eileen Carty, formerly Dean of Student Affairs, recently named Principal. For instance, a Seminar period is now offered every other day for our new Wellness Curriculum which is made up of eight domains of wellness intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, financial, and occupational.

Direct instruction is led by multiple departments including School Counseling; College Counseling; Ministry & Service; Leadership; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice (DEIJ); Alumnae Engagement; and Health. Sometimes direct instruction is grade level specific and sometimes it is all grades combined depending on the content.

Just to give a few examples, School Counseling brought in a speaker from Minding Your Mind to raise awareness about mental health. College Counselors worked with juniors on their college essays. DEIJ and Ministry & Service collaborated to address the Sisters of Mercy Critical Concern of Earth as it relates to class, immigration, and women. Leadership addressed the topic of grit. Alumnae Engagement hosted numerous alumnae speakers who highlighted a variety of career fields. Also, Health expanded to offer more grade level specific mini courses.

Students also benefit each day from Community Time, which is a dedicated period for assemblies, liturgies, clubs, and more, as well as from a WIN (“What I Need”) period just before or after lunch. “Both provide unstructured time that is owned and managed by each student to further her emotional and social development and build time management skills for life,” says Principal Carty.

Students can choose to visit a counselor or teacher for needed care or guidance, do independent or group work to reduce their evening homework (a big help if they have an afterschool job or activity), visit chapel to pray and reflect, or simply take a “brain break” to access food or visit with friends.

“Monarchs in Motion enables us to give our students the most innovative educational experience possible,” says Dean Casavecchia. “And it’s rewarding as an educator to see the benefits as our girls thrive and become the best versions of themselves.”

It’s a daily game changer for our students, faculty, and staff.

MONARCHS IN MOTION Snapshot of Survey Results • We asked. You responded.

1 60-MINUTE PERIODS/FEWER CLASSES IN ONE DAY

Faculty: 4.19 Average Rating

Students: 4.56 Average Rating

60-minute periods are the perfect amount of time to get stuff done in class, but not be bored with the subject by the end of it. Only focusing on four classes a day also helps a lot with homework. —Student ’24

I like the flexibility of being able to incorporate activities that may have traditionally taken two [40 minute] class periods . . . into a single class period without interruption and when desired/needed. —Faculty

ROTATION OF CLASSES 2

Faculty: 4.50 Average Rating

Students: 4.41 Average Rating

I enjoy it because it helps the week not feel repetitive. Since I am going to class at different times, it feels engaging—which helps me pay better attention in class. —Student ’23

It allows me to see teachers at different parts of the day and it prevents me from constantly missing the same class for sports. —Student ’25

I enjoy seeing the students at various times because the students might shine; at different parts of the day. —Faculty

There are big differences in students and teachers depending on the time of day, and it is good to see different classes at different times of the day.

—Faculty

COMMUNITY PERIOD 3

Faculty: 4.06 Average Rating

Students: 4.88 Average Rating

Community period is amazing because it has allowed me to get more involved. I now have time to participate in the clubs and be an intern— I wasn’t able to do these things before because of sports. —Student ’23

It is a good time for group projects, homework, clubs, and to socialize.

—Student ’25

I love community period because I get a lot of work done and it can relieve my stress throughout the day. —Student ’24

It truly allows for the feeling of a ‘community’ since students have the freedom to roam and be with other students and teachers that they might not otherwise see during the school day. —Faculty

WHAT PARENTS HAVE SAID

“We have been so happy with the new schedule. Our daughter is not awesome with time management and planning and this new schedule has enabled her to manage her time better, set a timeline for projects and events, and just overall has made her more relaxed.”

“I feel it gives the students greater independence and flexibility to schedule things they need to do. I also think the built-in community, seminar and WIN periods allow for more variety in the day, as well as more opportunities for the students to be involved in activities. I think it is preparing them better for college and work life as well.”

THE CLASS OF 2022 Honoring

with Commencement

On June 4, the 86 women of the Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School Class of 2022 processed into the School’s Performing Arts Center wearing traditional white gowns and gloves and carrying bouquets of red roses to celebrate the School’s 161st Commencement.

Madison Seidel ’22 delivered the invocation, offering gratitude and praying for continued help for the graduates to live out all they have been taught with courage and determination.

Salutatorian Anna Marie Patti ‘22 remarked that the members of the graduating class have “developed a love for each other and a system of support” and leave “prepared to face obstacles confidently knowing they have Gwynedd’s lessons of mercy, kindness, and confidence” to guide them.

Each member of the class then joined President Denise Corkery Marbach ’72, Principal Mary Kirby, and Dean of Student Affairs Eileen Carty on stage to receive her graduation medal and diploma. Additional medals were awarded to graduates in recognition of outstanding school spirit, honor, service, leadership, and academic performance.

President Marbach then introduced the 2022 Commencement Speaker Maura McLaughlin, Ph.D. ’90, Eberly Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy at West Virginia University. Among her many pieces of advice, Dr. McLaughlin encouraged the graduates to “embrace failure” as a learning opportunity and to “put things in perspective.”

“Our planet is one of more than 100 billion in the galaxy, spinning at around 1,000 miles per hour, orbiting the sun at about 70,000 miles an hour, and traveling through our galaxy at about 500,000 miles an hour,” said Dr. McLaughlin. “When you feel like you can’t go on, and there will be times…go outside at night, look up at the stars, and remember your place in the universe. The world keeps spinning and things will get better.”

Board of Trustees Chair Kathy Kirk Bellwoar ‘81 congratulated the graduates on behalf of the Board, offered that their four years at Gwynedd will be the foundation of their future success, and reminded all that the Class of 2022 is the future.

Principal Kirby then celebrated National Merit Scholarship Winner Anna Marie Patti, National Merit Finalist Hayley Young, and National Merit Commended Students Kira Kawczynski and Alexis Kelerchian for their exemplary achievements. She also invited the 50 members of the National Honor Society to stand and be recognized.

Valedictorian Alexis Kelerchian ’22 offered final remarks, sharing she came to learn that a Gwynedd girl is not a summation of the pins on her blazer celebrating her achievements or her test scores and college acceptances; rather, she is “best defined by her infinite kindness, spirit, courage, empathy, patience, compassion, fortitude, and mercy.”

Finally, the graduates, alumnae, faculty, and staff sang the Alma Mater, just before the Class of 2022 processed to the Chapel for The Crowning of the Blessed Mother by Grace Cheeseman ’22 with her mother and Gwynedd Mercy Faculty Member Christine Cheeseman by her side.

“Look forward to 86 very bright futures.”

REACHING ASTRONOMICAL HEIGHTS

Our 2022 Commencement Speaker, Maura McLaughlin, Ph.D. ’90, is known for her leadership of the international scientific community in the use of pulsars as detectors for gravitational waves and for her dedication to educating the next generation of astronomers and astrophysicists.

“I am actually a radio astronomer,” says Dr. McLaughlin. “My real work is listening for radio signals coming from the universe.” And when asked whether other intelligent life forms have been discovered, she remarks, “Not yet, despite looking really hard.”

Dr. McLaughlin’s main research interests involve studying neutron stars and their environments through radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations. Neutron stars are amazing physical laboratories for general relativity, studies of the interstellar medium, high-energy particle and plasma physics, and studies of stellar evolution. Notably, her research is highly cited in the top one percent of her field.

Dr. McLaughlin received a B.S. in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1994 and a Ph.D. in Astronomy and Space Sciences from Cornell University in 2001. She completed her postdoc research at Jodrell Bank Observatory in the United Kingdom. Today, her leadership roles include the Eberly Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy at West Virginia University, Director of the Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology, and Co-Director of the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center. She is also a leader of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory, a citizen-science project that involves high school students across the United States in pulsar related research.

“I really don’t know whether we are alone or not in the universe,” says McLaughlin. “But I do think the world would be a much better place if all of us lived with deep gratitude for the uniqueness of our life here on Earth.”
