Welcome FROM THE

PRINCIPAL Dear Friends of Mount de Sales Academy, In May I witnessed the beautiful tradition of MDSA graduates walking through the windows of the Music Hall, completing one phase of their life and stepping into their next great adventure. Our prayers go with the Class of 2017 as they matriculate throughout the country and continue their stories, hopefully taking what they learned here and using it to impact the world.

As principal, I have the privilege of hearing the stories of many such graduates, students, and families. It is incredible to think there are 165 years of tales, all of which weave the tapestry of Mount de Sales Academy.

These stories are diverse, yet they share a miraculous unity that runs deeper than a building or an education.

They are united in their faith and desire. I listen to parents who desire an education of the mind, heart, and soul for their daughters; students who seek genuine friendships, a deeper faith, and a hunger to become their best selves; teachers who strive to challenge their students to discover their potential; and leadership committed to continue the MDSA tradition for generations.

At Mount de Sales Academy our tale also continues, thanks to the dedication of our community. In this View from the Cupola we have the opportunity to share with you the current chapter at MDSA. I hope you find the happenings here as inspiring as I do, and I invite you to consider how you can be involved in shaping the MDSA story.

Sincerely in Christ,

Sr. Mary Thomas, O.P. Principal

United U.N. AT THE

their notepads and snacks, and began reviewing the challenging conferences of the day, examining the proposed solutions, and applying the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching with its robust defense of life and dignity. “The evening sessions helped us to debrief,” says Monica. “They helped us to understand how the Catholic Church would answer these difficult questions.”

“A CHRISTIAN WHO IN THESE TIMES IS NOT A REVOLUTIONARY IS NOT A CHRISTIAN.”

Unfortunately, many of the powerful and popular voices at the U.N. speak a message that lacks this same truth and charity on the issues of human life and dignity. For this reason, the strong faith and academic education at Mount de Sales provided a crucial foundation for our students. According to Emma, “You can’t go into that setting without knowing what you believe. You have to be strong in what you believe.” Monica echoes this same advice and then adds, “This was a chance to test out what we’ve been taught.”

- POPE FRANCIS This past March three Mount de Sales juniors had the opportunity to test this appeal on the global level. Accepted to the Catholic Social Teaching Program Universal Fiat, juniors Emma Romeo, Veronica Tis, and Monica Wallace traveled to New York City to spend a week at the United Nations Conference on the Status of Women (UNCSW). Conference topics included sensitive issues such as human trafficking, women’s health, economic development, and the current struggle of refugees in the Middle East.

“MDSA gave us the principles,” says Monica, who is passionate about women’s issues, “and I have always been drawn to the prolife movement and advocacy for women.” Noting a possible future major in international affairs, Veronica states that she applied for this program because she wanted “to hear new perspectives and to reach out beyond Catonsville.”

The ingenuity of the Universal Fiat experience rests in its mission to “cultivate a certainty in our faith and a voice in our society.” This thirst for truth was demonstrated each evening when students gathered together at their home base, the Church of Saint Agnes in New York City. There, students pulled chairs into a circle, took out

On the final morning in New York, just before leaving for their last U.N. conference, Emma, Veronica, and Monica settled into the hotel lobby with coffee in hand and Skyped their classmates back at Mount de Sales. The energy on the Baltimore end of the Skype call was palpable. The captivating experience on the other side of the screen demonstrates that not only these three Fiat Girls, but also their friends and classmates, are ready and equipped to heed our Holy Father’s call: “Dear young people…don’t be observers, but immerse yourself in the reality of life, as Jesus did.”

The Global Outreach Club, previously known as Teens for Catholic Action, is now recognized as the GO Club on campus. Despite its new name, the mission remains the same.

GO OUT into the

WORLD

As Saint Theresa of Calcutta urges us to “Go out into the world and love the people you meet,” GO Club strives to spread awareness about local, national, and international issues within the realm of social justice as well as take action to help those in need.

Throughout the 2016-2017 school year, GO Club hosted several events on campus to educate students about current events and fundraise for various organizations worldwide, including: • Catholic Relief Services • SALT • Happy Helpers for the Homeless • Sarah’s House

• The Mortal Foundation: High Hopes for Haiti • People to People • The Starfish Project • The Samaritan Woman

• My Brother’s Keeper

Specifically, GO Club sponsored the education and food of Naph Karline Etienne, a child in Haiti, as well as donated toiletry items to the homeless through their event, Toiletries for Tara. They donated money to several different organizations for disaster relief, orphanages, and human trafficking rehabilitation centers. Further, the club organized Sleep Out for the Homeless to raise awareness about homelessness in the surrounding communities. Participants slept out on the brick Piazza in cardboard boxes and served in homeless shelters the following morning.

In the future, GO Club hopes to continue these events and further open the discussion of new social justice topics with their speaker series. Through their continued mission to reach out and serve those in need, GO Club looks forward with the goal of sponsoring a Mission Trip in the future.

The success of GO Club and the impact it can have depends on you. If you or someone you know may be interested in getting involved, or if you know of any potential organizations GO Club could serve with, please contact, Allison George ‘06, club moderator, at ageorge@mountdesales.org.

on Fire STEM

For the challenge, students were introduced to the basic fire protection engineering principles and then were given the task of designing and building a mock dorm room structure that incorporated those principles. Kristin and her fellow employees at Koffel and Associates visited MDSA to teach the STEM students about topics such as material flammability, ventilation, and detection. Students then designed their own detection and suppression systems for their models with the goal of suppressing the fire quickly and keeping it from spreading to the second room.

at MDSA!

Their designs were put to the test on the burn day, held at the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Fire Research Laboratory in Beltsville, MD, on May 15. The students had a great time setting their rooms on fire and watching how well their systems functioned. A few teams were successful in suppressing their fire, and we had the chance to observe some of the structures built by other schools. This project was a great way to introduce students to a lesser known, but extremely important, field of engineering. I would like to thank the University of Maryland Fire Protection Engineering program and Koffel and Associates for their support.

This year the STEM Explorations class took on a new task of participating in the Fire Protection Engineering Design Challenge, sponsored by the University of Maryland’s Fire Protection Engineering program. Kristin Steranka, a 2011 MDSA alumna and a fire protection engineer at Koffel Associates, Inc., was one of our key mentors for this program. The Design Challenge kicked off with an opening event hosted at Mount Saint Joseph High School (MSJ). The other participating schools were MSJ, Maryvale Preparatory School, DeMatha Catholic High School, and Elizabeth Seton High School.

THE

EMPOWERMENT OF

Theatre

A REFLECTION ON MDSA’S EXPERIENCE IN THE CAPPIES PROGRAM

The Cappies is a critic and award program that trains students to write critiques on school plays and musicals as well as score and vote on categories of the productions, similar to the Tony awards. Mount de Sales has accumulated a total of 18 nominations in its brief three-year history in the program.

Recent graduates Colleen Herrmann ’17 and Elena Rittie ’17 founded our Cappies team. After working with them for four years, I have been inspired by their love of theatre, their initiative in keeping the team on track, and their joyful and humble spirits.

Theatre is much more to them than just being in the spotlight, and I am always astonished at how professional, polite, and hardworking our entire ensemble is when we go to the Cappies Gala and perform onstage at the Hippodrome Theatre.

Just days before Colleen and Elena graduated, I had the opportunity to sit down with them and discuss their experience with the MDSA theatre program and the Cappies. We all agreed that, in an academic culture which focuses on technology and a highly competitive college-preparatory track, the performing arts often get overlooked in value.

Their leadership with the Cappies team underscored how difficult it is to quantify the benefits and “score” the success of a performing arts program.

Accomplishment is much more personalized to the individual in the student’s critical thinking achievements, collaborative problem-solving skills, and general confidence, physically, vocally, and mentally. These skills are invaluable, though

not necessarily measurable in a standardized test score. Yet, more importantly, participation in the performing arts and theatre accomplishes something even bigger than academic objectives: It awakens empathy.

Theatre’s roots can be traced back to the African Griots. They were the historians and storytellers; they preserved the culture in the oral tradition of their society. In the Middle Ages, theatre was how the Church educated illiterate peasants on the teachings of the Bible. Today, theatre often provokes, questions, and incites conversation on our culture, our history, and ourselves. Even if we can glean information online and in books or offer opinions in a quick tweet or post, nothing challenges us like being physically present: listening, sharing, and responding in a true authentic moment. This is what theatre does for our students. It evokes truthful responses from both performers and audience members.

Theatre can empower a Mount de Sales girl with the intellectual skills to discern, the physical skills to vocally project and command the attention of an audience, and the emotional skill to confidently speak the truth in love. With these she can change the world. Colleen and Elena knew that, and I am confident their experience in theatre has made them stronger as leaders in today’s world.

Baltimore PROJECT

Molly Kelly ‘17

In the Honors Portfolio class the students explored the growing phenomenon of street art, which can have a biting social commentary or be purely decorative. For our project, we studied the social impact of declining neighborhoods by learning about the Broken Window Theory, which proposes “that if a broken window remains unrepaired, vandals will soon break a building’s remaining windows. If one person scrawls graffiti on the wall, others will soon be spraying paint. In short, once people begin disregarding norms that keep order in a community, both order and community unravel” (Wilson & Kelling, 1969).

Baltimore is a city that has embraced street art, and studies show that when a mural appears, the community takes ownership and protects it regardless of content (Zavakos, 2014). The most famous murals in Baltimore come from the successful “Open Walls Baltimore” project and “The Slumlord Project.” Baltimore has become the epicenter for street art in America as a means to promote change.

Sonia Lee ‘18

My students were charged with adopting and researching a marginalized Baltimore City neighborhood. They were then tasked with creating a mural image to represent their neighborhood. The mural could take the form of social commentary or be historical or decorative in nature.

Surprisingly, the students felt the most telling statistics about their neighborhoods were not about the level of violence, but rather about school issues. They were amazed at the high rates of absenteeism and the high percentages of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch in Baltimore City Public Schools.

Some of the students’ murals may invoke emotions of anger, sadness, or hopefulness.

The students learned how to handle potentially racially charged issues in a creative way.

We will be the first to say that we are outsiders looking in on a city where many are marginalized. If anything, our students have come to realize the many blessings that have been bestowed on them purely as a result of where they live.

THE HAPPENINGS OF

the Gate House

THE THEN & NOW

of Mount de Sales’ First Building Throughout its history the Mount de Sales Gate House has been an iconic landmark on campus. Its arched entryway has welcomed students, faculty, parents, and visitors into the Mount de Sales community for many years.

Built in 1852, the Gate House originally served as the chauffeur’s building of residence. Later, a chaplain’s residence was built onto the rear, right side of the building during the Civil War, approximately 1862-63, and remains there to this day. Over time the Gate House lost several of its original structures, such as a cupola and a balcony, and it has served many people and purposes.

The Harmon family moved into the Gate House during the 1890s and four generations remained there for more than 80 years. They served the Visitation Nuns, maintained the school grounds and buildings, and became much like family to the nuns and students.

Upon construction of the new convent in 2010, the historic building became vacant until this summer. From June to August of 2017, the Gate House underwent several structural changes and renovations to accommodate the Business Office Suite on the second floor and the Sailor Shop, a reception area, bathrooms, and concession stand on the first floor. Despite these changes, the Gate House will continue to remain a symbol of welcome for those entering the campus.

MDSA SUSTAINS E

In April, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools officially notified Mount de Sales Academy of its re-accreditation for a seven-year term. Re-accreditation acknowledges Mount de Sales as an educational organization that meets “internationally recognized standards of quality” and “demonstrates commitment to continuous improvement in student learning.” To earn this status, Middle States invited Mount de Sales to use the exclusive Sustaining Excellence Protocol for accreditation, which included a self-study report and a site visit by two representatives from the organization. Additionally, Mount de Sales will continue to conduct a three-year Action Research Initiative, “The Impact of Higher Order Thinking Skills on Student Interpersonal Communication in the One-to-One Technology Classroom.” The process will culminate in the spring of 2020 with a colloquium, through which we will share our research results with the wider educational community.

compassion AN EXP R E SS IO N O F

After suffering a concussion, Kelly Sliker ‘18 turned to baking. This began an unexpected journey as her hardship transformed into a labor of love when she began donating the food to SALT* and later creating care packages for the homeless. Her story reflects a servant’s heart as she was able to turn her own suffering into a gateway to help those in need.

Q A

While recovering from your concussion, what prompted you to begin baking?

I began baking during my recovery because it was basically the only activity I was able to do. When you have a concussion you can’t use electronics, read, or do physical activity, so I found baking was a simple enough activity that didn’t require too much brain power and still allowed time for healing.

Q

When hand delivering these care packages to the homeless, did you notice an overwhelming common response from those in need?

A

Being able to personally deliver the care packages, especially the Christmas boxes, is incredibly special because you get to see the direct impact you make on an individual’s life. Each person responds to the gesture in a different manner depending on their state in life or their vulnerability at the time; however, it’s amazing how overwhelmingly grateful every person is. I’ve also found many people are more impacted by the love and care of a card, conversation, or even just eye contact more so than the food or materialistic items we deliver them. Being recognized by their humanity and dignity is a much more precious gift, and they cherish it greatly.

Q A

How has this event changed your perspective on life?

The first few weeks of my concussion were very difficult for me, both physically and emotionally. When I first began baking, I didn’t have the intention of donating the food to SALT; it was solely a time filler. However, in overcoming my own suffering I was given the opportunity to care for and love others during their times of suffering. This experience has helped me see the greater purpose for the tribulations in our lives, and, because of this, I now have a more peaceful outlook on the trials that come my way.

*SALT is a hands-on parish ministry with Our Lady of Perpetual Help, serving the hungry and needy of Baltimore City and Howard County.

“BEING RECOGNIZED BY

THEIR HUMANITY AND DIGNITY IS A MUCH MORE PRECIOUS GIFT, AND THEY CHERISH IT GREATLY.

”

Q A

Through the faith foundation I have made at Mount de Sales, I’ve learned the true dignity of every individual and the value of every life from the moment of conception until natural death.

I’ve learned to look past whatever mistakes, choices, illnesses, or addictions that may have led a person to their current state and to love them endlessly and fully with the power of Christ’s love.

Q A Q A

How has this experience played a role in the making of your Instagram account, @bmoregiving?

My main source of inspiration for the style and general format of this account was the Instagram and Facebook page “Humans of NY.” Additionally, at the time I was taking a photojournalism class at MDSA where we learned photography skills, interviewing tips, and worked on a magazine cover project that became the source of inspiration for the username of the account.

Do you feel your service further builds off of your strong foundation of faith formed at Mount de Sales?

How do you hope to continue impacting those in need in the Baltimore community?

I hope to continue serving through the SALT ministry until the very weekend before I leave for college and every weekend I’m home. I desire to reach every individual we meet on the streets and love them deeply in the way of Christ, beginning with a cup of coffee.

Additionally, I hope to expand my service work to impact a broader range of people in need of love, care, and support. Regarding my long-term future, I’m not sure where the Lord will take me, but I hope to incorporate my passion for service work into my career and family life in any way I can.

Through this account I hope to spread general awareness of homelessness and addiction within our community, to give a voice to the people we serve, and to identify them as human beings worthy of love and respect. A typical post includes an individual’s name, photo and a quote about what led to his current situation, hopes or goals or bits of advice. Additionally, I’m currently doing a series interviewing our core team of servers, kitchen staff, and volunteers that serve on a regular basis, to share our love and passion for the ministry and hopefully encourage others to get involved.

If you are interested in learning more, please visit Kelly’s Instagram page, @bmoregiving, where she features many of the individuals she has encountered during her journey of service.

Coach Pete

24 YEARS AS HEAD COACH, A LIFETIME OF IMPACT

Every Mount de Sales softball player from the last 24 years will remember their dedicated and caring head coach, Pete Waskiewicz P ‘92. In his career at MDSA, he won three conference championships and earned the title “Coach of the Year” in three different decades. He continuously inspired his players to work hard and play with faith and heart.

During my four years playing for Coach Pete, he taught me many valuable lessons. He made every member of the team feel welcome because he expected his players to work hard, earn their positions, and treat all members with respect. His high standards of commitment also transferred over to faith and education. Before each game he always encouraged us to say a prayer together, invited the Sisters to the game as our “secret weapon,” and continuously reinforced many of the values taught at Mount de Sales. He was invested in the academic education of his players; before the season began, Coach Pete met with each player about her grades and what he expected of her. Moreover, if he knew a girl was struggling with a class, he would encourage her to prioritize that over softball. He really cared about each player and wanted to see her succeed.

Coach Pete preached confidence and class to us. Even today I can still hear him say, “She isn’t going to throw it by you,” which is something he said to us before every big game or when we struggled offensively as a way to relax us.

Sarah Hughes ’13 comments, “It was an honor to learn from and play for Coach Pete throughout my four years at Mount de Sales. Whether he was standing next to third base, sending the captains on slushy runs to commemorate the season, or giving an emotional speech at senior night, Coach Pete always conducted himself with the principles of faith and integrity that Mount de Sales proudly upholds. He was a wonderful coach and mentor and the wisdom he passed on, not just about softball but about life, is invaluable and will not be forgotten. He will be missed on the field greatly, but I will always look at my time as his player fondly. I wish him the best in his next adventures!”

Overall, Coach Pete was an amazing coach who truly cared for all of his players. He will be missed by three decades of Sailors; whoever takes over the softball program has big shoes to fill. Thank you, Coach Pete, for everything!

To� Distinctions Sarah Witt VALEDICTORIAN

“We first came to Mount de Sales to gain academic knowledge and to grow in faith. These two achievements have prepared us to not only find success in life, but to also live out the gospel in our future lecture halls, workplaces, and families. We need to spread the values and

truth Mount de Sales has instilled in us to every community of which we will become a part, revealing God’s truth in our every action.”

Rachel Huber SALUTATORIAN

“Mount de Sales molded us into who we are. Like those who walked these halls before us, we did not just gather the knowledge of life; we learned how to live. For four years, we have watched exemplary

models of our Catholic faith: our beloved Sisters and our faculty, staff, and administration.”

Raeghan Smith MOUNT DE SALES GIRL

“At Mount de Sales, we have been taught how to live a life for God through reason and love. While we learned all about the American government and British literature, we were also taught the most important lessons of love and compassion in religion class. Through

our faith journeys and the lessons our teachers have taught us about God, we can see that nothing in Him is coincidence.“ 20 | Class of 2017

TEACHERS of the YEAR What do you do when two influential teachers are nominated for teacher of the year?

You select both! This year, the students and faculty voted Mrs. Lindsey Murphy and Mrs. Patricia Ziff as Teachers of the Year. Throughout their time here, both teachers have continued to excel in their departments.

MRS.

Murphy

Mrs. Murphy is the chair of the math department, teaches AP Statistics, and is director of educational technology at Mount de Sales. BRIDGET WILLIAMS ’17 was one of many students who enjoyed classes with Mrs. Murphy. “She uses technology in interesting ways to help us learn,” Bridget explains, “and she really makes math fun!” Mrs. Murphy skillfully combines her vast knowledge of technology with her passion and dedication for math in the classroom.

Mrs. Ziff teaches a variety of classes, including sophomore English, AP Language & Composition, and AP Art History, and also serves as a sponsor for the sophomore class. She constantly inspires her students by teaching them how to be the best writers possible.

In a Catholic Schools Week teacher appreciation video, KEMI OMISORE ’17 expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Ziff : “You are the reason I want to be an English teacher. You really inspired me when I had you for sophomore English. Your class gave me the confidence to say what’s on my mind and to be confident in myself and my skills with reading and English.”

MEET THE MDSA ADVANCEMENT TEAM

BETH SAVERINO ’87 Director of Advancement Having served Mount de Sales for 12 years, Beth recently took on this new role overseeing the Advancement Office. Beth’s current focus is the Capital Campaign in which she is a pivotal leader, implementing campaign organization, conducting one-onone visits, and planning receptions, events, and mailings to ensure success!

For a school to run smoothly, it takes many people working hard at many different jobs. However, the job of an Advancement Office may not be too familiar. In a nutshell, our Advancement Team works to advance MDSA from the outside in by taking our message out into the community, developing relationships, and inviting their meaningful involvement in our mission. As you will likely hear more from the Advancement Office during our Capital Campaign, here is a brief introduction to the team:

KAREN VON LANGE

JAMIE WHEELER Graphic Design Coordinator In 2015, Jamie joined the team and immediately went to work creating a stylized brand for MDSA in all its communications.

Since then, her expertise has greatly enhanced the Advancement Office as she strives to keep our materials and media current, beautiful, and branded with MDSA class.

From Sailor Mail to press releases, publications, advertisements, video production, social media and website development, Karen ensures all communications are accurate and timely. She continues to expand our visibility and credibility in the community.

Director of Development An alumna, parent, and 15-year staff member, Claire spearheads Annual Giving solicitations and events throughout the year with a focus on growing scholarship support. On top of this, she is integral in the organization and execution of the current capital campaign.

VIRGINIA SHENK Development Coordinator Working behind the scenes since 2014, Virginia drives the data that supports the Advancement Office. She assists the entire team by providing data analysis, keeping contact and giving information up to date, and helping coordinate events and communications.

ELIZABETH MAHON ’07 ALUMNAE RELATIONS

Director of Alumnae Relations Tasked with engaging alumnae, Elizabeth coordinates events like the Crab Feast and Homecoming, facilitates Alumnae Association meetings, and stays in touch with alumnae through phone calls, visits, emails, and mailings. She has also led a successful collaboration with Development, resulting in significant growth in alumnae events and scholarships.

DENISE ZAMBOTTI Development Assistant Denise is the newest addition to Development, though she has been serving Mount de Sales for many years in a variety of ways. As the Development Office moved into “campaign mode,” Denise is helping take on the work load by handling data entry and processing donations.

Updates FROM THE

PRESIDENT Dear Friends of Mount de Sales Academy, As we begin the 2017-2018 school year, it is my pleasure to share with you our capital campaign progress toward our promising future. We are moving along in the pacesetter phase of the capital campaign, which we anticipate will continue through the end of the calendar year. The pacesetter phase is also referred to as the silent phase, which means it is a quiet time of organizing and establishing the groundwork for a successful campaign. The support we have received thus far for the campaign has been outstanding and gives us further belief that the goal we have set is attainable.

To reiterate for some and introduce to those who are new to the Mount de Sales Academy community, the Anchored in Excellence. Charting our Future. Capital Campaign for MDSA is for an expansion of our facilities to better serve the needs of current and future students. This will entail: • Renovating the B-side fourth floor • Expanding the Chapel of St. Francis de Sales • Building a Center for Performing Arts and Student life The overall expansion project is estimated at approximately $10 million. The funding will come from multiple sources.

• $5 million capital campaign • $1.8 million in reserve for this project from the initial fine arts campaign • Willingness to take on a reasonable amount of debt The improvement of our campus to meet the needs of our students is already underway with the renovation of the Gate House and expansion of the cafeteria, which are funded through the operating budget and will immediately impact students as of this school year. Renovations to the fourth floor also started this past summer and are anticipated to be complete for the 2018-2019 school year.

Your support and belief in our mission is imperative to our success! For more information on the capital campaign, please contact Director of Advancement Beth Saverino ’87 at esaverino@mountdesales.org or 410.744.8498, ext. 139.

Sincerely,

Brian P. MacLean P’14 President, Board of Trustees

GOLDEN MILESTONE

FOR THE CLASS OF

1967

In the spring of 1967, 36 graduates lined up on the back porches of Mount de Sales, poised and ready to walk through the windows of the Music Hall. Fifty years later, 14 of those women returned to Mount de Sales to celebrate their 50th high school reunion.

There is something special about the Class of 1967.

Many of these women had not seen each other in years, but when they connected at the reunion they picked up right where they left off in high school.

Regina Gorzkowski traveled from Missouri for the occasion, and Marian Roman came all the way from Tennessee!

As part of their homecoming to Mount de Sales, the women enjoyed refreshments in the Bird Room and then a tour of the building, including a visit up to the Cupola. They were also recognized as honored guests at the 165th commencement in the Music Hall.

Everyone applauded when they sang the alma mater in unison with the Class of 2017, the newest alumnae of Mount de Sales.

Back Row from L to R: Mary Heim O’Connell, JoAnn Kuhn Weber, Judith Shields Charnovitz, Rosemary Faya Prola, Dale Vicchio Wolters, Marjorie Hampson, Ann Lynn Tawney Street. Front Row from L to R: Regina Gorzkowski, Margaret Goldberg Whiteford, Sandra Liberto Zitzer, Susan Miller Fowler, Gale Vicchio Clark, Marian Williams Roman, Jessie Henn Tacka.

THE CLASS OF 2017 LEGACY A beautiful tradition at Mount de Sales Academy is a family legacy. This is a timeless bond that grandmothers, mothers, and daughters who all attended this school share together. In the Class of 2017, five graduates were able to call this MDSA tradition one of their own. Diana Reed ‘17 is a third generation legacy, graduating over 50 years after her grandmother and 30 years after her mother, while Elizabeth Martin Blurton-Jones ‘88 saw her second daughter, Julia, walk through the windows this spring.

L to R: Caroline Bateman (Grandmother, deceased: Mary Peters West ’50), Haley Geier (Grandmother: Katherine Jane Peters Geier ‘48), Sydney Quizon (Mother: Patricia Grey Quizon ’86) , Julia Blurton-Jones(Mother: Elizabeth Martin Blurton-Jones ‘88), Diana Reed (Mother: Nancy Dragin Reed ‘81 and Grandmother: Elizabeth Meehan Dragin ’59)

Spotlight

Caitlin Shoemaker ‘12 With close to 200,000 followers on Instagram, alumna Caitlin Shoemaker ’12 incorporates her love of science and creativity into her website, FromMyBowl.com If someone told me in high school that, at the age of 23, I would be running popular food-based Instagram and YouTube channels as well as a recipe blog, I would most likely have laughed and said, “You must have the wrong person.” Yet here I am today, doing all of those things.

My experience at Mount de Sales dramatically impacted my life, but not in the way I always thought it would. In high school, I was adamant about pursuing a career in the field of science. It was something I both excelled in and enjoyed; however, a part of me always loved the arts. I remember saying to my friends, “If I could choose any job in the world, I would be a photographer.”

Luckily, I had the privilege of going to MDSA, which allowed me to pursue challenging science classes and nurture my creative side. While I took almost every science-related class available, I also had the chance to dabble in the arts. I loved my anatomy and AP biology classes with Mrs. McFarland, but I also cherished my studio time in the art room for my textiles class.

Mount de Sales not only educated me on foreign language, science, art, and history — it also taught me how to think. The high academic rigor, engaging teachers, and supportive community all shaped me into the thinker, creator, and woman I am today. I have been able to use the concepts I learned in high school to help me have a successful career with my online presence.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge all of the wonderful women I met while attending MDSA. I still keep in touch with my closest friends almost daily.

They’ve been with me through thick and thin, and I will be forever grateful that our high school brought us together.

Have you ever had a conversation that suddenly turns into a discussion about Mount de Sales? You don’t know how you got there – or even that the other person had a connection – but once Mount de Sales is brought up, you are immediately bonded because of it.

REMEMBER

Words in these conversations are abundant, but time and again they can’t fully describe what Mount de Sales means to the Sailor community. We can encapsulate Mount de Sales: faithfulness to the Church, rigorous academics, and rich student life and traditions. Yet, when we sum up these parts, the totality of Mount de Sales is much deeper and more special than we can put into words.

SHADOW DAYS

What is it that causes us to jump in excitement when we hear that someone also knows the Mount de Sales effect? What causes us to cherish those who “get it” and invite those who are unfamiliar to learn more?

Word of mouth is the most common way new families are introduced to Mount de Sales. Many prospective families say that once they visit campus and meet our community, they realize what their family and friends tell them about this place really is true!

We ourselves know the grace that God has bestowed on Mount de Sales. Together, let’s continue to find the words to connect with each other and share the enriching traditions of Mount de Sales with new families!
