AR F RO OM UND T HECAMPU HEADMISTRESS S

Dear Alumnae, Families, and Friends of Sacred Heart, Last year we joyously celebrated the 200th anniversary of Sacred Heart education in the United States. We honored the legacy of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, as well as reflected upon how far education for girls has come since 1818. Through our recent reaccreditation process with both NEASC and SHCOG, we were required to assess all the programs we offer to our girls. Two glowing reports from the visiting committees made it clear that our school is stronger than ever.

However, we are never satisfied, and this is the perfect moment to consider what’s next. As we closed out the year of celebration of the Feast of Philippine, I wrote to the faculty: “What other methods of teaching would help prepare our girls for an ever-changing world?” A study group was created to explore and imagine what we can be in 2025. This team is leading the faculty in what we are calling The Future of Learning. Through on-site visits, conferences, readings, and discussion, the team will lead the faculty to discover what might inspire and challenge us to reach even greater heights. Eighty-eight faculty have already visited a wide variety of institutions, ranging from other independent schools to innovative programs at Harvard, MIT, and RISD to companies including WGBH and Google.

The Future of Learning initiative has been funded by Jon and Pat Baker, who have remained committed to the school since the graduation of their daughters in 1987 and 1990. We so appreciate their generosity, and we are excited to see what lies ahead. May Philippine, an adventurer and risk-taker, be with us on this journey to becoming more.

We will share our progress on The Future of Learning in next year’s issue of the magazine. The focus of this issue of Très Bien is the arts. Our visual and performing arts programs are flourishing.

A stroll around the school at this time of year highlights the extent of our commitment to the arts: one can see colorful and creative student work on the walls, listen to the sounds of voices and instruments preparing for Vespers, and watch dancers of all levels in the movement studio.

Every Middle School girl studies music, art, and dance — all year, every year, while in the Upper School, girls flock to our many arts electives. In these pages you will read about the artistic accomplishments of our current students, as well as learn about some of our alumnae who have made the arts central to their careers and lives. I hope that you enjoy this glimpse into the arts at Newton Country Day.

Sincerely,

Sister Barbara Rogers Headmistress

Campus Highlights: In the Classroom and Beyond Class of 2019 Participate in Two-Day Advocacy Program In September 2018, members of the Class of 2019 learned about civics, including how they can have a voice in state government. After spending the morning in the classroom learning about the Massachusetts Constitution and why state legislatures are important, the group headed to Beacon Hill, where they met with Newton resident Kay Khan, the representative for the district in which Newton Country Day is located.

A surprise for the girls was to see former NCDS history teacher Lindsey Galvao, who serves as a legislative aide to Representative David Linsky. Representative Khan took the girls on to the floor of the House and spoke to them about her job and the types of bills she has sponsored before the group took a tour of the State House.

Peer Ed, Upper School Athletes Raise Awareness on World Mental Health Day On October 10, as part of World Mental Health Day, the Peer Education Committee and Upper School athletic teams collaborated to raise awareness about mental health issues around the world and mobilize efforts in support of mental Upper School athletes wore green and blue ribbons in support of World health. The theme for World Mental Health Day. Mental Health Day was “Young to the Upper School girls. “Peer Ed and the People and Mental Health in a Athletics Department want to show support Changing World.” for all of the people who are affected by “Peer Ed advocates for your well-being mental health issues,” added Tina Lakkis and educates Middle and Upper School stu’20. “In solidarity, we are asking members of dents about relevant physical and emotional Upper School teams to help raise awareness topics,” Ainsley McCormack ’20 explained about the subject of suicide by wearing green and blue ribbons on October 10.

These colors symbolize hope for the prevention and awareness of suicide. This year our community is focusing on Sacred Heart Goal I. It is stated within this Goal that the entire school program affirms that there is meaning and value in life and fosters a sense of hope in the individual and in the school community. World Mental Health Day provides a dedicated time to come together with collective passion and strength around a difficult topic.”

Mock Midterm Election On Friday, November 2, Newton Country Day held a school-wide mock midterm election, complete with voting booths and ballot boxes. The mock election was sponsored by the History Department and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, the state coordinator for the National Student/Parent Mock Election.

The JFK Library’s voter education program engages students in grades K-12 in state and national campaigns, and emphasizes the importance of voting and the power of their ballots.

In the weeks leading up to the election, the History Department had programming to aid students in voting. There was a series of presentations in the Upper School that explored topics including why voting in the midterms is important, the gubernatorial and senatorial candidates, and the three ballot questions. The girls learned additional information through a detailed installation on the second floor. Upper School girls went “to the polls” to vote for governor, senator, and on the three ballot questions. Middle School girls learned about civics through their own set of activities, bulletin boards, and with guest speaker Marian Ryan P’13, Middlesex District Attorney. Ryan spoke to the girls about her role in government and

what it takes to run for office. Middle School girls voted for governor and senator.

“Mock elections are valuable tools for teaching our students about the electoral process,” said History teacher Dr. Laura Baines-Walsh. “It allows the girls to grapple with the same real world questions that adults face when they vote for a candidate or on a ballot question. It also should help get the girls into the habit of learning about current election issues and voting. My hope is that a NCDS alumna is one who takes her right to vote seriously and never misses the opportunity to vote in an election.”

Middle School Girls Participate in Wellness Day In April, the Middle School held its first Wellness Day with the theme “Building Resiliency.” This day-long seminar, led by The New Brave founder Ellie Bassick-Trovato, provided girls with the opportunity to

learn how the mind works and ways they can manage stress through resiliency and shifting perspective.

In her keynote address, Bassick-Trovato explained different areas of the human brain. She spoke about the prefrontal cortex and its role in decision making, as well as the role of the reticular activating system in focusing and creating neural pathways. These concepts came together in her explanation of the “Ladder of Well-being.” Much like a thermometer, the Ladder gives a reading of whether someone is in the “Green Zone,” a place of love and gratitude, or in the “Red Zone,” a place of anger and anxiety. Bassick-Trovato reminded the girls that they have the tools and the power to move into the “Green Zone” by choosing how they view stressful situations and feelings.

Next, the girls gathered in the Martin Center to learn how to develop stress management and empowerment skills through

a series of “playshop” activities that focused on different aspects of building resiliency. Working in groups, they took part in activities including a metaphor meditation and “3-2-1,” which asked groups to list three things they are grateful for, two magic or happy moments, and one victory/celebration or something they did that helped someone.

“My hope is that the Wellness Day will help to foster a more supportive and proactive language in the Middle School around stress management,” said Wellness teacher Abigail Hueber ’07. “The strategies introduced are wonderful tools that will better allow students and teachers to communicate and develop productive strategies to reduce stress. We will continue to build on the foundation Ellie helped us create.”

English Students Explore Virtual Reality Studying Shakespeare took on a whole new dimension this year as Newton Country Day invested in virtual reality technology headsets for classroom use, allowing students to become immersed in the curriculum in a different way.

English Department Chair Evan Adair’s Advanced Placement English class utilized the VR Headsets, in conjunction with the app Shakespeare 360, to travel across the Atlantic and “walk through” the Globe Theatre in London. Students also “took the stage” during a performance of Hamlet, playing the role of King Hamlet’s Ghost.

“We find that the virtual reality experience brings theater to life for the students and gives them an opportunity to appreciate fine acting by sitting right next to the duplicitous Claudius or being spoken to by Hamlet himself,” said Adair.

“It was exciting to learn using completely different technology than we typically use in school,” commented Katherine Levangie ’19, “Using the headsets helped me further understand the Hamlet scene. It felt like we were a part of the play.”

Academic Technology Department Chair and science teacher Melissa Bleakney hopes to roll out the VR technology in other subjects. Bleakney has already implemented it in her anatomy class.

“By leveraging new instructional technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, teachers give students an immersive experience,” she said. “These class activities transcend the limits of time and space and provide students with experiences that broaden their perspectives and deepen their learning. In the future, we hope to engage students not just in consuming these technologies but also in designing them.”

while simultaneously allowing them to create safe and supportive spaces to have honest conversations. Ultimately, relationships and authentic conversations with those we love is what will impel us to action.”

Ursula August, the founder of MassMediaMakers and a graduate of Harvard Graduate School of Education, presented the themes for the day, which included race and gender and how those themes appear in national and international media. These themes were explored further in a viewing of the film “The Hate U Give.”

Girls separated into peer-led groups, or “circles,” a restorative justice practice. In these circles, they shared their thoughts on the day and discussed how the concepts they learned apply to their personal experiences.

Grade 10 Participates in Diversity Day Driven by Sacred Heart Goal III, a commitment to educate to a social awareness that impels to action, the Class of 2021 participated in Diversity Day. Former Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Elisa Rodriguez ’95 wanted to create a day in which the entire sophomore class came together “to unpack issues of racism and inequality,

“Diversity Day was an amazing, eye-opening experience for me,” said circle leader Aamaya Guzman ’21. “From the speaker, to the movie, to our student-led circle discussions, it was very informative. As a leader of one of the circles, it was empowering to see my classmates so open to educating themselves. I’m glad NCDS is willing and open to change, because it all starts with educating our community and ourselves to start conversations.”

“I learned a lot from my peers and was able to talk about my personal life in a safe space,” reflected Anaya Depina ’21. “We were able to have courageous conversations, and I got to know my classmates on a deeper level.”

Seniors Gain Experience Through Project Program At Newton Country Day, girls acquire the skills to embrace challenges and excel in new experiences. One way students gain the courage and confidence to step outside of their comfort zones is through their participation in the Senior Project Program.

During this one-month internship in May, senior girls work outside of the classroom in a professional environment, exploring possible college majors and potential career paths.

Some of the host sites for the 50 graduates of the Class of 2019 included the Perkins School for the Blind, Concord Youth Theater, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Silk Purse Design Group.

Ingrid Farrell ’19 interned at Beacon Academy, self-described as “a 14-month school between 8th and 9th grades designed to prepare motivated and promising urban students for success in competitive independent high schools and beyond.” As a member of the Beacon staff, Farrell served as a tutor, SSAT proctor, and office assistant. “Working at Beacon showed me just how powerful having a loving and supportive community is and how important it is for me to work for a place that has a powerful mission that I care about,” Farrell said.

Kiera Glynn ’19 volunteered at Milton Hospital, a partner of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. Glynn chose her site because of her interest in pursuing medicine as a career. As a junior volunteer, she greeted people at the front desk and brought samples to the lab.

Glynn also had the opportunity to observe hip and knee replacement surgeries performed

by Dr. Dennis Burke and Dr. Nina Shervin.

From her experience, Glynn learned that it takes a lot of people, in addition to doctors and nurses, to successfully run a hospital.

In May, the Class of 2019 gathered in the Martin Center for the first annual Senior ProjFA L L 2 0 1 9

ect Symposium to share their experiences with their peers, parents, and volunteer evaluators.

The symposium was an opportunity for the girls to learn from each other and to further develop their presentation skills.

“Our first Senior Project Symposium was such a success,” said Senior Project Advisor and Director of Alumnae Relations Amanda Power ’07. “Each of our alumnae, parent, and past parent evaluators commented on how impressed they were by the caliber of the projects and professionalism of the girls. We are so proud of them for being a part of this inaugural event.”

the recipes they tried and created, including homemade granola, gluten-free oatmeal pancakes, and apple cinnamon salad. In their final blog of the week, the girls noted, “Our week together has flown by. We learned a lot, made great friendships, and plan to keep in touch, keep working to alleviate childhood hunger, and help make sure all children get healthy foods so they can grow and flourish.”

NCDS Hosts Network Summer Service Project “Food For Thought” Each summer, students within the Sacred Heart Network are encouraged to take part in various service opportunities throughout the country.

The experiences are not only a chance to perform acts of service and meet other Sacred Heart students, but also for learning and transformation.

In June, Middle School English teacher Emily Horwitz and Health and Wellness teacher Abigail Hueber ’05 piloted the Network Project “Food For Thought.” Girls from NCDS, Sacred Heart Academy Bryn Mawr, and Sacred Heart School of Montreal collaborated with No Kid Hungry, a non-profit that aims to conquer childhood hunger. Through activities, field trips, meal preparation, and icebreakers the girls gained a better understanding of the experience of a low income family and their lack of access to nutritious food.

Throughout their week together, the girls kept a blog of all their experiences and

Chorale Trip to Austria In June, members of Chorale, Newton Country Day’s Upper School choir, began their summer break in the mountains of Austria.

For 10 days, the girls spent time performing, learning about the rich musical history of the area, and collaborating with our sister school, Sacré Cour, in Vienna.

The first stop on their tour was Graz, one of Austria’s major cities. While there, the girls provided music for Pentecost Mass at the Graz Franciscan Church in the city center. They continued their tour in Salzburg, enjoying The Sound of Music tour and performing an hourlong concert at the Mondsee Basilica, made famous as the wedding location from the film.

In Salzburg, the group also visited the birthplace of Mozart, toured Melk Abbey, enjoyed a boat cruise to Durstein, and rode a cable car into the mountains. The adventures continued in Vienna, with the girls visiting historic sites that included the Schonbrunn Palace, the Imperial Church, Esterhazy Palace, and the Haydn House. At Sacré Cour, the girls sang in a collaborative concert with Sacré Cour’s choir and at the school’s annual Garden Party. Chorale was also treated to a performance of Don Pasquale at the famed Vienna Opera House.

Even when they were miles away from home, the girls made sure to take a break to cheer on the Boston Bruins as they faced off against the Blues in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. Performing Arts Chair Tyler Turner was impressed by how the girls used the opportunity to

not only cultivate bonds with each other but also flourish as artists. “I love traveling with choirs,” he said. “They always come back as a stronger community, more confident, and resilient. Performing in such amazing spaces, and alongside our sister school, was truly inspiring for all of us.

I saw so much growth in our girls over our 10 days together, and I am very excited to build on their progress in the classroom this year.”

“The trip to Vienna was an experience I will never forget, combining my love of singing with the experience of exploring a different country,”

said Tenley Noonan ’21. “I learned so much visiting castles and historical sites containing beautiful artwork and architecture. Having the privilege to sing with the members of our sister school choir displayed the strength of the Sacred Heart Network. The trip made me eager to continue exploring the world, and I am thrilled to take part in the Network Exchange program next year.”

“I especially enjoyed visiting our sister school in Vienna,” commented Caroline Kelley ’22. “I enjoyed meeting the girls and boys from Sacré Cour so much, from asking questions about their lives, to singing together in their chapel, they were so welcoming. It was amazing to go overseas and still see the goals of Sacred Heart in action.” u

Network Connections A unique opportunity for Upper School students at Newton Country Day is made possible through the International Network of Sacred Heart Schools, as girls may take advantage of academic exchanges that span the world. Available to students in grades 10-12, the Exchange Program promotes tolerance, maturity, and independence while fostering a global perspective.

JACINTHE MARLOW ’21 In March, Jacinthe Marlow ’21 traveled across the Atlantic to visit Sagrat Cor-Besós in Barcelona, Spain. As a student studying Spanish, Marlow was enthusiastic about the chance to practice the language and immerse herself in the culture.

During her three-week stay, Marlow’s host Lucia and her family welcomed her into their home. “Lucia’s brother, Martin, graciously gave up his room; so I had my own room, and the children shared a bathroom. Lucia’s mom was amazing, she cooked every night and well.

Lucia’s dad was similar to mine, laid-back and funny,” Marlow said of her hosts.

When she wasn’t enjoying authentic Spanish dishes or interacting with her host family, Marlow was shadowing Lucia at Sagrat Cor-Besós. Classes began at 8 a.m. each day and ran for eight periods, just like at Newton Country Day. She had two breaks; one for breakfast and the other for lunch, and half day Wednesdays. Before returning home, the girls would explore Barcelona, which was a freedom that Marlow appreciated. “In America, during the week, it’s usually home and school for me. In Barcelona, we got to go out and do fun things after school, in part because of the little amount of homework they received, and because their school was already inside the city.

“Another difference between the two schools is that in addition to the basic courses,

KATHERINE GALLAGHER ’21 Katherine Gallagher ’21, an avid traveler, jumped at the opportunity to visit a new country and learn about the culture. “I wanted to participate in the Network Exchange Program to practice my Spanish, the foreign language I take at NCDS,” Gallagher said. “I have been studying Spanish for over 10 years but never really had the chance to practice speaking Spanish for an extended period of time. I felt that the Exchange Program would be the perfect chance to do this.” Gallagher chose to visit 16

students could also take philosophy and business. Recess was also offered to the high school. They would go outside for a half hour to eat or talk with friends.”

Although Marlow was only on Exchange for three weeks, she felt so welcomed by the school and her classmates. “I loved all of Lucia’s peers,” she said. “Whether it was spending time with them in religion or playing ‘two truths and a lie’ in English, I had fun doing anything with them.

I felt like I had been a part of their class since the beginning of the year.”

For students considering Exchange, Marlow highly recommends it. “You meet so many new people and you get to experience such amazing culture that you wouldn’t have otherwise,” she said. “Barcelona holds a special place in my heart, and I hope I can go back someday.”

Marlow still texts Lucia often and hopes to set up a reunion soon. u

Sagrado Corazón Apoquindo-Monjas Inglesas in Santiago, Chile.

Well before she left for her trip in March, Gallagher was matched with Berni, a student at Sagrado Corazón Apoquindo-Monjas Inglesas.

In the fall, Berni experienced American culture as Gallagher’s guest at her home and at NCDS. Berni and her family returned the favor and welcomed Gallagher into their home for her exchange. “They were so kind and loved showing me around Santiago and other parts of Chile,” commented Gallagher. “They also helped me

with my Spanish when I needed it, something I was very nervous about. They were patient and always open to letting me practice speaking with them.”

In addition to staying with Berni’s family, Gallagher was hosted by Berni during the school day. Every day until 4:00 p.m., Gallagher would accompany Berni to classes including Chemistry, History, and Religion. Although Gallagher found many similarities between NCDS and the school in Chile, she also appreciated the differences in scheduling and culture.

“At Berni’s school, they did not have a goûter.

Instead, they had “recess time,” which was two 20-minute periods where the girls could take a break,” she said. “They wore uniforms which consisted of a white button down shirt, a tie, a jumper, shorts underneath, flat black shoes, and knee-high socks. They had chapel every two weeks, instead of every week like we do.”

When she was not at school, Gallagher experienced home-cooked meals and trips throughout Santiago with Berni and her friends. One of Gallagher’s favorite experiences was when Berni and her family took her to visit the coast. “Berni’s family had a family friend who owned a condo, and they let us stay there.

The condo had a beautiful view. We went to beaches, ate at a local bakery, and went back to the condo to play games and watch movies.” u

Graduation THE SUN SHONE BRIGHTLY on Thursday, June 6, as Newton Country Day held its 139th Graduation in the Sunken Garden. Families, friends, faculty, and staff celebrated the 50 members of the Class of 2019 as they were welcomed into our alumnae community.

Graduation speaker Nancy F. Koehn

Following the procession into the tent, Headmistress Sister Barbara Rogers welcomed our guests.

Class president Aoife Harte ’19 gave the Invocation before the Mary Quinlan Salutatory Address was delivered by Christina Conforti ’19.

“I want to say thank you to every friend, family member, and loved one present today and to those who could not be here,” she said. “The sense of community you instilled in us made it possible for us to fully embody Goal IV, the building of community as a Christian value. The unity we fostered at NCDS is something we will carry with us. I know that all of my classmates will do incredible things to strengthen and bring people together no matter where life takes them.”

Following Conforti, author and business historian at Harvard Business School Nancy F. Koehn delivered the Graduation Address. Koehn holds the James E. Robison Chair of Business Administration.

Her research focuses on how leaders, past and present, craft lives of purpose, worth, and impact.

In her speech to the Class of 2019, Koehn spoke about courage, leadership, and finding your purpose. “We strengthen our muscles of courage not by eliminating fear, not by smashing it into a box or getting an app on our iPhone that says ‘end fear in your life.’ We find courage by moving into fear — by taking the first step into uncertainty. Don’t stop looking for your mighty purpose. Embrace it. Never give up. The world needs your leadership and all your gifts and all your talents and all your strong selves more than it’s needed any batch of graduates.

You must rise to the challenge, and you will discover your place and your purpose.”

After the conferring of the diplomas, Alice Husson Prize recipient Grace Zhou ’19 was next to take the stage, thanking the faculty and staff. “We received an education remarkable not only in aca-

demic strength, but also in personal development,” Zhou noted. “The Sacred Heart goals cultivate character, instill integrity, and provide a foundation for our daily conduct. The faculty’s kindness, sacrifice, and compassion bring to life the values of our school for students to follow. As we continue on with our unique journeys, let us not forget the values and knowledge we’ve acquired, and, most importantly, the brilliant people who have helped us along the way.”

Head of the Upper School Kathleen Scully Hodges then distributed prizes before Julia Dubuque ’19 delivered the Janet Erskine Stuart Valedictory Address.

Adding to Zhou’s comments on the Sacred Heart Goals, Dubuque said “We were not taught them on the chalkboard, we were taught by example. I do not just mean the example of those in our school community, but especially by the women of great heart who came before us. The stained glass windows in the chapel, the crown jewel of our school, depict seven great women of faith, St. Helena, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Cecilia, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Catherine of Alexandria, and St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart. These women both individually and collectively embody what it means to live out the Five Goals. They did not all have the same upbringing, nor face the same challenges, nor live out their calling in the same way, but all these women held the same core principles, principles that NCDS and our families have likewise taught us. As we face adversity, setbacks, and hardships, because we invariably will, keep this guiding principle at the heart of our lives: to become a woman worthy of her own window.”

The Clare McGowan Prize was given to History teacher David Byron before the Sacred Heart Goal Awards were distributed. Chairman of the Board of Trustees Christopher Kelly P’05’07’12’16 delivered the closing prayer.

After the recessional, the newest alumnae lined up outside of the tent to receive hugs and well wishes from faculty and staff members before joining their friends and family in celebration. u TRÈS B IEN M AGA Z IN E

Chapel Reflection: Brittany Borders ’04 (excerpts) I understood from an early age that there was darkness in this world. But I could never wrap my head around it. I would watch the news with my mother and ask things like, “Why is our country fighting with that country? What did they do wrong?” or “Why are people afraid to come to my neighborhood?”

I only knew good people, and I came from a strong community. What about that was threatening? If I was a being made of light, why would God place me on an earth that was full of darkness?

My family has always been service oriented. My mother is the Massachusetts Director of Diversity and Equal Opportunity.

My father has been the pastor of a church in Mattapan for the last 37 years. They are people who stand out. They shine. Our church is rather large now, but when I was a kid, it was pretty small. My dad felt that we needed to expand our building to accommodate our congregation and community. We began a campaign to raise the funds, but the closer we got to our fundraising goal, the more animosity we faced. An unidentified man began calling our local police station from various payphones around the city threatening to blow us up. Many Sundays we had to evacuate our sanctuary so that officers could search for the bombs. That man didn’t want the light of our church to draw people in the community closer together. He wanted us hopeless and in the dark. His actions promised to end our campaign, our congregation and very specifically, my father’s life.

I cannot say that having police officers follow you home to check your yard for detonation devices or suspicious packages doesn’t have impact. It does. It puts a fear in you: fear that being visible or remarkable will make you a target. I found myself circling back to my original question: Why would God place me in a world full of darkness? I spoke to my father. “You don’t try to stop shining in a world that needs light,” he said. “How do you think Christ felt?”

I’d never even considered how he felt.

I decided to consult a Bible to discover how Christ might have felt. John 1:10 & 11 says,

22

“He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him.

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.” I had some notion of how that felt, being an introvert who would rather read than jump double-dutch with the other neighborhood girls but could only understand the true extent of Christ’s feelings with a little more research.

You know the story Brittany Borders ’04 that Christ was born in a manger because there was no room available in Bethlehem, but really think about that. From birth, there was no place for him. Conversely, the birth of that lowly man was signaled in the heavens, heralded by a star. That light, the light of his presence radiated far and wide. His light was bright and threatening, so threatening that a king sought to kill him. I’m not sure if it ever registered to you that as a little, brown baby, Jesus was so threatening to the status quo that his family had to flee their homeland.

He lived as a political refugee for part of his childhood.

Yet Jesus continued to grow, and thrive, and come into the full knowledge of being a light in this world. He drew people to himself with his message of unconditional love and his promise of acceptance into his kingdom, no matter one’s station in life. He shone so bright that he attracted the weak and the broken. He also attracted unwanted attention from the top; those who could prosecute and condemn him.

Eventually that light was rejected. His ideas about acceptance were too radical, too inflammatory, too difficult to comprehend.

The light that led him to his ministry, led him to his death. My luminosity was also disruptive. My sense of morality made me less fun to be around. My competence made

others feel inadequate.

If I was too strong and assertive, I was “sassy” or “scary” or “angry.” It was difficult to live as the person God made me to be. I had to weigh the pros and cons of being my best self. I had to acknowledge that my light came with consequences: isolation and rejection.

I believe Christ knew the consequence of shining from the very beginning. He knew he would be tested. He knew he would face animosity.

He knew he would face capital punishment, and he chose to shine anyway. His light was enough to build the faith of a people. It was enough to change the world. His life was a blueprint for me to figure out how to do the same. My dad was right. Christ must have felt discouraged by this world, this life, this darkness, but he shone in the midst of it all. I could make that choice, too.

And I did. I made the decision to be a light everywhere I went. It became a mantra.

I would pray nightly, “God, make me a beacon in this world.” Perhaps I can ignite a generation. Perhaps I can influence people in need of light and hope.

If there is a piece of your light that you have dimmed out of frustration or fear, bring it to the forefront of your mind. Imagine how luminous our world would be if we all shone our brightest: if we put all our gifts and talents on display. Marianne Williamson said, “as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Let’s be liberators. Let’s be luminaries. Let’s ignite this world as we wait for the coming of the son. u Brittany (Elle) Borders is an actress living in the Boston area.

Faculty Profile: Martha Haddad When Upper School Dean of Students, and math and computer science teacher, Martha Haddad was working toward her Bachelor of Science at Middlebury College, she did not have aspirations to be a teacher. In fact, she did not even know if she even enjoyed the company of teenagers. “I was not a babysitter type,” she recalled. “I had no experience as a camp counselor or anything like that. It wasn’t until I started teaching that I realized how much I love teaching teenage girls.” What she did have experience with was seeing that girls are just as capable as boys; especially during her time as a student at Concord Academy. “Since all of the leadership positions at Concord were occupied by girls, I knew that girls could do anything.”

After college, Haddad worked in the survey department at a civil engineering firm. “It involved a lot of computer science,” she said. “Of the 40 employees, there were very few women. Even though I enjoyed it, I missed the sense of community that

FA L L 2 0 1 9

I felt in college, and I knew that in the long run I didn’t want to be a project manager.” Longing to be part of a community, Haddad accepted a job in the Office of Alumni Relations at MIT, organizing events for young alumni and working with the department’s budget. “It was really nice to be on a campus, and it made me realize how much I liked working at a school,” she noted.

Happy with her job but open to a new adventure, Haddad was game when her best friend made her a surprising offer. “She dared me to move with her to California,” she remembered. “I said ‘You’re crazy, I can’t do that.’ She asked why, and I didn’t have any good reasons. Tom Wilcox, the Head of Concord Academy at the time, sent letters on my behalf to private schools in Southern California because I wanted to give teaching a try.

Apparently a lot of schools needed a math teacher with no experience, because I received a lot of interview requests.”

In California, Haddad interviewed at five schools including Marlborough School, an all-girls school in Los Angeles for Grades 7-12. “I received multiple offers, but Marlborough was the clear choice,” she said. “I taught math to Grades 7, 8, and 9. The first year was tough because I didn’t have any training in teaching, but I did have amazing colleagues who gave me the tools I needed. It was hard, but it got me interested in teaching at all-girls schools. After never having done anything with teenage girls, I fell in Martha Haddad love with them. By the next year I was the ninth grade dean.”

During her time in Los Angeles, Haddad witnessed riots, floods, fires, and earthquakes. “A lot happened in those five years.

Even though I loved it there, I knew it wasn’t where I wanted to raise a family. My family was also on the east coast, so I started looking for a new job closer to home.” Now an experienced educator, Haddad again called upon Wilcox to spread the NCWIT Awards word to independent schools in Massachusetts that she was looking for a math position. Just as they had years before, the letters worked.

“I booked five days of interviews at schools including Newton Country Day,” she recollected. “I got to Newton with a list of questions. Everything that I wanted was involved in the position here.

Sister Rogers and every teacher whom I spoke with answered my questions exactly how I hoped they would. There was no way they could have known exactly what I was looking for in the position!”

Returning the next day, Haddad taught current Assistant Head of Upper School and math teacher Nicki Noel’s class as a trial. “The girls were fabulous.

I even remember some of their names. They were looking at me like they were rooting for me.” By the time Haddad landed back in Los Angeles, she had been offered the position.

Her first year at Newton, Haddad taught Grades 7, 9, and 10. She was also the Grade 9 moderator for the Class of 1998. “The Class of 1998 is very special to me,” she said. “They were a fantastic group of girls of all personalities. They were really supportive and

24

kind. As they progressed through high school I would say to them, ‘Don’t you remember our...I mean your freshman year?’ They were wonderful during their time here, and they continue to be now.”

After her first few years at NCDS, Haddad earned her Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology, with an emphasis on adolescents, from Boston College. “It was very different than majoring in math and computer science,” she observed. “I like math, but I am also interested in the whole child. It was helpful to take courses about how people think and understanding how they work. I find people fascinating. If you only consider someone’s behavior, that’s not enough to understand why they might be doing what they are doing. That especially applies to adolescents.

Teenagers give me so much hope for the future. They are all different. They come with their own stories.

When they are at school, especially at a single-sex school, they are just themselves. Every kid wants to be noticed and known, even if they think they don’t want to be. They value adults and connections. They want someone to say to them ‘You’re right, you have a lot of work to do’ or ‘I remember taking that class, it’s tough.’

It is important to validate their emotions and opinions and treat them with kindness and respect.”

Haddad has seen the Math Department, and NCDS, grow and change over years. She claims she has taught “almost everything,” including Geometry, Honors Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Honors PreCalculus, Discrete Math, Algebra II, Honors Algebra

II, and a few versions of Computer Science. “The first time we offered Computer Science was in 1996.

I taught it for several years before becoming the Dean of Students. At the time we had a computer lab, but what was available in the ’90s was more about projects and no tests. Many of my students are now decades into a career in computer science, which is fun for me to see.” Haddad specifically recalls Stephanie Evans Peart ’98, who majored in Computer Science at Rutgers University and is now Director, Global Digital Business Technology Leader Medical Devices at Johnson & Johnson.

Five years ago, Newton collaborated with the Online School for Girls to offer more opportunities in Computer Science. “The school believed in the program, so I started overseeing the interested students in a classroom,” said Haddad. After using the program for a year, Haddad was confident she could develop the curriculum in-house. “I knew I could teach the course. Once you know one computer language, you can pick up others quickly. There were drag and drop languages that I had not previously taught, but I saw the value of it.

Eventually it progressed to a more text-code, which is exactly what we use now in Computer Science I.” In 2017, computer science became a required course for girls in Grade 9. “That was pretty awesome,” Haddad said. “Before that I would have six to eight girls in a class. They were mostly seniors, maybe one junior. Younger students could not fit it into their schedules. Something had to shift to make it accessible to more students. Many schools offer upper level computer science classes that students can take at will. I know those schools wish they had a way to expose all of their students to computer science. I am so grateful that we created the requirement.”

Haddad acknowledged that even if students do not go on to major in computer science in college, taking a class or two is beneficial for many employment opportunities. “Every industry is looking for people who can code,” she said. “There are some students who discover that computer science is their

passion. Two years ago I was talking to a senior about her college plans, and she said ‘I’m going to major in computer science, and I never would have if I hadn’t taken your course.’ This has happened a few times, and that’s what really gets me excited.”

Also in 2017, Haddad was the sole recipient of the Massachusetts Aspirations in Computing Educator Award by The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). She received the award for her influence and support of high school girls’ passion for computing and technology.

At the encouragement of Haddad, students began applying for awards through NCWIT. In just three years, 10 NCDS girls have received awards.

As Upper School Dean of Students, Haddad offers support to students and faculty members in a variety of areas. “When I started at NCDS, we did not have Class Deans,” she noted. “I was in charge of planning all class activities.” Her position now includes managing transportation, the school’s master calendar, rehearsals for ceremonies, and logistics for school dances.

When asked what her favorite thing is about Newton Country Day, her list was long. “I love math, teenagers, our mission, and the community.” Her list makes it easy to understand why Haddad was excited for her daughter Marjorie ’22 to become a part of the community that she loves. “When she started in 5th grade, I panicked and thought ‘What if she doesn’t like it?’ She came back her first day and loved it and still does. Prior to her starting, I thought about how cool it was going to be to share all of the traditions with her. This is something that no one else in my family is a part of.” Now that Marjorie is in the Upper School, Haddad is her classroom teacher for the first time.

In addition to learning code-based languages, whether they are members of the Class of 1998 or 2019, Haddad wants all of her students to leave NCDS with perspective. “In school there is a lot they have to do. I want them to have balance. I want them to learn and have what they need, but I also want them to do what makes them happy.” u

Faculty Profile: Emily Horwitz When fifth and sixth grade English teacher Emily Horwitz first stepped on campus in Spring 2004, it was a return to the most formative time in Horwitz’s own academic journey: Middle School.

“I remember when I was an 11-year-old Shady Hill student, and my teacher gave me the Tennyson poem Ulysses. That was when I discovered poetry,” recalled Horwitz. “When the other kids were out playing at recess, I wanted to stay in and read. My teacher supported me in that, and it fed my curiosity. She made me feel like a real poet. That was empowering.”

Horwitz’s love of learning started early. “I grew up in a family that valued knowledge and education,” she explained. “We found joy in understanding concepts and in the inquiry process.” Horwitz and her four sisters were immersed in a home environment rich with intellectual curiosity. “Growing up, my mother was like Marmee from Little Women, always organizing games and activities out of everyday tasks.” Horwitz’s father made sure that even routine errands around their North End neighborhood were

26

filled with philosophical adventure and inspiration.

“My dad would often take us to the Athenaeum.

Surrounded by so many books and reading them in such a storied, beautiful setting felt magical to me.

“People took me seriously as an intellect even when I was a child, and that gave me dignity. That is why I take my students seriously.”

Upon graduation from St. Paul School, Horwitz attended Harvard, where she studied English and American Literature and Language.

“At Harvard, I knew I wanted to study English literature, but how does one choose which works to read and which classes to take with only four years to study?” Ultimately, Shakespeare was Horwitz’s area of focus, though she also delved deeply into 19th century novels, poetry, and philosophy. “One of the many reasons I love teaching is because I can keep exploring all the great works of literature, keep learning and finding new themes and treasures. I can inspire others to study these incredible writers,” said Horwitz.

TRÈS B IEN M AGA Z IN E

A R OU ND C A M P US

After college, Horwitz returned to her alma mater, Shady Hill, as an apprentice teacher.

Partnered with Tufts University, Shady Hill’s nationally known Teacher Training Center was the perfect place for Horwitz to begin her teaching career while earning a Master’s Degree in English and Education. The next stop on Horwitz’s career journey was Advent School, where she taught fifth grade English. “It was an exciting year for a newly minted teacher. I got to apply and assess the teaching principles and techniques I’d learned at Tufts.” Upon the advice of one of her Advent students, Horwitz found herself at NCDS for the first time. “One of my fifth graders — who is now a human rights lawyer - was heading to NCDS for sixth grade and told me I should come, too. She was so enthusiastic about the culture of NCDS that I decided to apply for an English teacher position.”

Fast-forward 15 years, and Horwitz is an intrinsic part of that beloved NCDS culture. She values the Sacred Heart Goals for giving clarity to the school’s mission. “Our faith identity gives us language and context across disciplines. When we talk about the Goals and the framework they provide, we are talking about big ideas and using big language.” Horwitz has always been a lover of “big language” and a true believer that even sixth graders are ready for the challenge of Shakespearean text and themes. “Young people like to be taken seriously, and they are more than capable of mastering challenging material,” she said. “Julius Caesar is the perfect introduction to the study of William Shakespeare because the story has one plot and a focus on oratory, which is a theme of sixth grade English. The play gives us a foundation upon which to study the rhetorical tools of pathos, logos, and ethos: tools that the girls then employ when they write their own speeches.”

Sixth grade can be a tricky time for girls, some of whom feel compelled to quiet their voices and doubt their opinions as they enter adolescence.

The study and practice of oratory helps dispel these reflexes, as each girl gains confidence that “her voice has merit and can be powerful,” said Horwitz.

Watching Horwitz teach Shakespeare to her sixth graders, one imagines a parent running alongside a child on their first two-wheel bike. Horwitz orients her students in the material and delights in their enthusiasm to take off and further explore. “It’s so exciting that these students can engage with the best works of the human mind and understand them; they are not jaded or cynical. No Middle School student says ‘Do I need to know this for the test?’

They just say ‘I need to know this!’”

FA L L 2 0 1 9

The start of the 2018-19 academic year was particularly exciting for Horwitz as she had newly returned from four weeks in Rome as the 2018 recipient of the Clare McGowan Award.

Named in honor of Sister Clare McGowan ’45, alumna of NCDS and former Headmistress at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, the prize is awarded to a teacher who has served at the school for more than 10 years. The grant encourages travel to deepen an appreciation of Sacred Heart heritage. “I knew I wanted the experience to enrich my curriculum and enhance my Catholic faith, so Rome was the focal point of the trip.” Horwitz said. “Standing in the Forum, I burst into tears thinking this is where Mark Antony gave his speech. I returned to NCDS newly inspired to connect Julius Caesar to the present and created a project where students reinterpret the play in modern ways. We imagined that instead of the conspirators meeting in Brutus’ Garden, they had a text chain! We explored how exchanging texts rather than meeting in person could change a group’s plan or commitment to an activity.”

Horwitz believes that modeling honest intellectual enthusiasm is just as important as teaching the mechanics of Shakespearean English. “As teachers, we show kids that wholeheartedness and being true to oneself feels great. I am so privileged to be a teacher because I get to embrace all of the things that I love, such as 19th century novels, poetry, and doo-wop! I love that our girls are unselfconsciously themselves.

We are purposeful in making this a safe space for them to be exactly who they are, because then they will continue to do that when they graduate. They will go out and change the world.”

Horwitz is committed to inspiring students to understand their gifts and abilities so that they do something good in the world. Referencing The Phantom Tollbooth, which is part of her fifth grade English curriculum, she said “Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way.” Of her hopes for her students, she concluded “I want them to enjoy knowledge for itself, but I also want knowledge to be a transformative tool for good. I believe that it will be.” u

Celebrating 200 years of Sacred Heart Education in the Americas 2018 MARKED 200 YEARS years since Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne bravely crossed the Atlantic to establish the first Sacred Heart school in the Americas. To celebrate this milestone anniversary, and honor the great history of Sacred Heart education in the Boston area, Newton Country Day held various events throughout the year, including a Day of Service in April, a fundraising gala in October, and a Mass in November. At Newton Country Day, we are proud to continue Philippine’s legacy by educating girls of courage and confidence.

Alumnae 200th Celebration Reception

On April 29, nearly 100 students, families, alumnae, friends, and faculty and staff, participated in a morning dedicated to service. NCDS community members volunteered at the Carroll Center for the Blind as part of the City of Newton’s NewtonSERVES initiative.

Our volunteers worked as visual guides and provided encouragement for walkers who participated in the annual Walk for Independence. Although it was a rainy Sunday, the spirits of all who participated were not dampened.

An intimate gathering was held on Thursday, October 11 at Granary Tavern as part of the anniversary celebration of Sacred Heart education. Alumnae reminisced about faculty members and shared favorite memories from their time at NCDS. It was a wonderful evening for everyone to reconnect and to be part of the year-long celebration.

Bicentennial Mass To close out a year of reflection for Saint Philippine, members of the Newton Country Day community attended a Mass in our chapel on Sunday, November 18. The Mass was celebrated by Rev. Bill Russell, SJ, a long-time friend of the School and brother of Margary Russell Phelan Loks x’57. Following the Mass, students, parents, friends, and alumnae from various decades gathered in the Blue Room for goûter. This spiritual gathering was a fitting close to a year spent honoring Philippine and recognizing the great impact that 200 years of Sacred Heart education has had on so many.

200th Celebration Gala On Saturday, October 27, NCDS hosted the 200th Celebration Gala at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel.

The outpouring of generosity from the Sacred Heart community at the sold-out event was astounding. We exceeded our goal and raised $1.6M for the School’s tuition assistance program, allowing promising girls to receive a Sacred Heart education at Newton Country Day. Chair of the Board Chris Kelly P’05’07’12’16 offered a blessing and introduced a performance by members of Schola Cantorum and Danse Esprit. Sister Rogers recognized the honorees, Trustee Enuma Menkiti ’97, Alexandra Rizio ’02, Trustee Emeritus Jack and Eileen Connors P’90 GP’22, and Trustee Emeritus Kevin Phelan and Anne Duffey Phelan ’67 P’94’96’98 NC’71. Our distinguished alumnae, Alexandra and Enuma, were recognized for embodying Philippine’s spirit through the work they are doing to meet the needs of the most vulnerable. The Connors and Phelan families were thanked for their many years of dedicating time, as well as philanthropic support, and helping to make the School widely recognized for its excellence. Sister Rogers remarked how humbled Saint Philippine would be by the success of Sacred Heart schools and how proud she would be of our fundraising efforts.

The ballroom was brimming with excitement from the many alumnae, parents of alumnae, current parents, trustees, former trustees, friends, faculty, and staff in attendance. The guests continued the festivities on the dance floor at the after party. The School extends a special thanks to Paula Ebben P’11’13, who graciously served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, and to the Gala committee for its hard work and dedication.

Becky Antoine ’19 immersed herself in the performing arts community at Newton Country Day from the moment she arrived as a 7th grade student.

“In Middle School, I loved being a part of the band, Cantilare, and chorus,” said Antoine. “When I entered the Upper School, I broadened my horizons and really did as many different things as I was allowed.

“In 7th grade, Mrs. Miller approached me about playing the xylophone in the band because she knew I played the piano. As time went on, I was able to migrate over from just the xylophone to other percussion instruments because Mr. Hagan, and my peers, taught me how to read the music. Everything I know about percussion I learned at school.”

In 9th grade, Antoine participated in dance classes, Danse Esprit committee, and became a member

of the Dance team, which competes as a winter team sport. “I tried out for a musical for the first time in my life in 9th grade, and it was one of the best decisions I have made,” she recalled. “Over my four years in the Upper School, the musical has always been my favorite time of the year.” Antoine performed, sang, and danced in each musical production as an Upper School student, as well as Advent Vespers and Hearthrobs, which is now included in the Festival of the Arts. Adding to her now growing list of arts activities, Antoine joined Chorale, Schola, and the Instrumental Ensemble as a sophomore.

“My favorite performance was last fall’s production of Newsies,” she said. “The show was so much fun to put together, especially because it involved a lot of dance. The production was also the closest we have ever been as a cast, which is something that always makes the process that much more enjoyable.”

During her senior year, Antoine was co-captain of the Dance team. “My favorite memories from the team are the moments right before we go on stage at a competition,” she said. “We always held hands in a circle and shared how excited and proud we were of each other and that no matter what happens, we should have fun and leave it all on the stage.

“I would tell someone considering attending NCDS that there are so many different types of art classes/ programs you can be a part of and to take advantage of as many as you can! I learned and improved so much over the years, and it was really rewarding to be a part of something from start to finish.”

As a freshman at Colby College, Antoine does not see her involvement in the arts ending any time soon. “I definitely plan to continue participating in the arts in college. I plan on joining an a cappella and/or a dance group and participating in the musicals.”

Give My Regards to Broadway. She went on to take on lead roles as the Bullfrog in Honk, Jr. and Gertrude in Seussical, Jr. The time spent with her sisters in those productions is something she cherishes. “It was nice to have someone help me through the experience,” she said. “If I was stressed to go on stage, it was nice to have them there to support me.”

Charlotte agrees with this sentiment. “Sharing the stage with my sister is one of the greatest opportunities. We not only grew closer, but we offered each other tips and tricks on how to improve our performance. The plays at NCDS are so much fun, especially when I get to stand by my sister’s side.”

Emily even urged younger sister Lily to participate in the musical. “I was really nervous and Emily really comforted me. She told me it was going to be okay and to get out there! It was so much fun!” Lily said.

Aslett’s involvement in the arts is not limited to musical theater. She has also participated in dance, chorus, and as a percussionist in band. In 7th grade, Aslett auditioned and was accepted into Cantilare, an audition only advanced choir led by Middle School Music Teacher Laura Frye. Aslett recognizes this as a unique opportunity to work with girls who share her passion for singing and enjoys learning various singing styles; including a cappella.

Emily’s creativity also spans other disciplines.

Aslett won First Place in the Middle School poetry contest this past spring for her poem, “And Still She Fights.”

Emily Aslett ’24 Emily Aslett ’24 has loved performing since she was very young. She participated in community theater and played the piano, ukulele, and guitar.

Although she doesn’t come from a musical family, she shares a mutual appreciation for the arts with her sisters, Charlotte ’22 and Lily ’26. When Charlotte joined the Newton Country Day School community in 5th grade, Emily watched as her older sister immersed herself in the NCDS arts programs. Emily couldn’t wait until she was old enough to enroll at NCDS and explore theater, dance, and studio art.

“My sister always talked about how great the musical was at school; so I was really excited to try it. It looked really fun and I’ve loved to sing and act since second grade,” Aslett recounted.

In 5th grade, Aslett enrolled at NCDS and didn’t waste any time in joining her sister on the stage. In 2017, Aslett earned the role of Millie in

In May 2019, Aslett and her Middle School peers showcased their talents during the Celebration of the Arts. “It was so awesome to be a part of something so big and to have our parents watch us was also cool.”

Throughout the night, Aslett had the opportunity to “celebrate” all of her talents. Although she was proud of her own accomplishments, she was very proud to participate in the 7th grade dance with her classmates. “The theme for our dance was about spreading peace. It was just a nice moment that I enjoyed spending with the rest of my class,” she said.

Aslett appreciates all the opportunities she has had to engage in the arts at NCDS. She encourages those who are contemplating involvement in the arts programs. “Go for it! Just take a shot, because you never know what you’re going to be good at.”

giving and receiving feedback. She attributes her creative thinking, productivity, and self-discipline to the course. “The art program at NCDS teaches you so many valuable techniques while still giving you the space to experiment and bring your own ideas to the table,” explained Capeci.

During her time in AP Art, she developed a portfolio inspired by her interest for the surreal and psychedelic. Her focus was “food,” and she enjoyed the challenge of figuring out a way to incorporate quirky elements to the theme. This exploration allowed her to utilize new mediums, including colored pencil. “I’d always liked really fun, vibrant color schemes, and I knew I wanted to experiment with that more.” Capeci is eager to explore new mediums in the future that utilize color.

In the fall of 2018, Capeci was recognized for her vibrant surrealist pieces by the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, a prestigious recognition program for creative teens in grades 7-12. Regionally, she was awarded three Gold Keys for her works “Cats in the Fridge,” “Surrealism,” and “Lizard Dinner” as well as a Silver Key and an Honorable Mention. Capeci went on to earn a National Medal for “Surrealism” at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

She considers the honors very gratifying, and she Catherine Capeci ’19

Catherine Capeci ’19 has always been surrounded by artistic and creative people, so it was only natural for her to develop an interest in art at an early age. In fact, Capeci can’t remember a time that she wasn’t doodling or dreaming up characters.

After arriving at Newton Country Day School in fifth grade, Capeci found that her doodling could be more than just a hobby.

“When I got to NCDS, I realized that art was something I really enjoyed as a study rather than just a way to kill time,” she said. “I started to become more confident in my abilities, which made me want to pursue it more seriously.”

During freshman and sophomore year in Art I and II, Capeci began to further explore genres and mediums in order to build her voice as an artist.

Then, in her junior year, Capeci began work in Advanced Placement Art, a two-year course. She appreciated the opportunity to be in a space with so many talented people and enjoyed sharing ideas and TRÈS B IEN M AGA Z IN E

Julia Cressotti ’23 A day in the life of a busy 8th grader is filled with school, sports, and social events. At times, this hectic schedule can be stressful, unless you are Julia Cressotti ’23, who has discovered the activity that centers her: creating art. “For me, art has become a sort of meditation, it’s very relaxing,” she said. “A lot of my art is symmetrical, because I like things to be perfect, but I have learned that no drawing is perfect.

It’s fun to try to get there, though!”

Although the roots of her interest in art began before she entered Newton Country Day in the 6th grade, Cressotti’s focus and growth as an artist really started when she discovered the arts community and opportunities at Newton. “NCDS has showed me how the arts bring people together and make them realize what they all have in common.”

my art to be hung up, but when I walked down one of the staircases I saw one of my pieces. I thought ‘Whoa, that is so cool that I’m a part of that,” she recalled.

Middle School art teacher Dalvin Byron feels that moments like that show just how important it is to celebrate the girls as artists. “It is important to exhibit the girls’ work because the art (paintings, drawings, collages) is an extension of the voice of each artist,” he said. “Each piece effectively says ‘I am here’ and invites the viewer to see the world through the eyes of the artist. The girls put a tremendous effort into the work they make, and it is important to share it with others.

When the artwork is on display, it is a celebration of labor and an opportunity for others to be inspired by the progress made by each class.”

Now a ninth grade student, Cressotti is eager to explore all the different arts options available to

When Madeleine (Maddie) Hughes ’19 arrived at Newton Country Day in the ninth grade, she had never auditioned for a performance or musical group. Having attended Middlesex School Summer Arts Camp, she was, however, interested in the arts program at her new school.

After a senior told her about Heartbeats, a newly formed a cappella committee that she promised was fun, Hughes tried out for and became a part of the group which she was the co-head of her senior year. Before arriving at Newton, Hughes was aware of the Sacred Heart Network, as her mother is a graduate of Convent of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco, California.

During her four years at NCDS, Hughes was cast in plays and musicals, and participated in numerous performance committees. By her sophomore year, she was a member of Heartbeats, Schola Cantorum (a select singing group), Danse Esprit, and Chorale. From the start, she found faculty and staff members encouraged her to get involved. “Ms. Borders, my advisor, recommended that I audition for solos and do things outside of my comfort zone,” she said. “Ms. Swallow, my dance teacher, has been there for me since my freshman year when a classmate told her that I danced, and she asked me about my dance plans. Getting into Schola is one of my best memories from NCDS.” For her penultimate musical performance at Newton Country Day, Hughes was cast as Jo March in Little Women. In the Fall of 2018, she earned the lead role of Jack Kelly in Newsies. Hughes refers to this, her final production at NCDS, as her favorite.

of girls, a lot of whom were sophomores,” Hughes noted. “It was really fun.”

This kind of support among peers is something that Hughes has come to expect from performers at Newton Country Day. “The arts community at NCDS does not make up the majority, but we are a tight-knit group,” she commented. “We continue to talk to and support each other after shows end. There are plenty of opportunities to act and a lot of different shows and groups that you can be a part of at school. You don’t have to define yourself as a singer to be in Chorale.

You don’t have to think of yourself as an artist to be in an art class. Making friends in different grades through the arts is something that I really value about my years at Newton.”

Performing Arts was not the only area of the school in which Hughes tried her hand. She competed on the school’s former swim team her freshman year, played junior varsity soccer for two seasons, and was a member of the varsity softball team. As a senior, she was also the head of the Multiracial Affinity Group.

“We started having meetings last year to try to create the Affinity Group Program,” Hughes explained. “While it is still being developed, it’s really exciting and I hope that it is something that continues to grow. One of the topics we covered in the Multiracial Affinity Group was representation in the media and how there are a lot of television shows and movies

that show people who are all black or all Asian, or an Italian family, but there isn’t a lot of representation of people who are in between, and that represents the majority of the current population. We talked about what we can do to advocate for ourselves. It was nice to relate to each other in that way because a lot of the time you have to explain it to someone who may not understand where you are coming from or take you seriously. It’s nice to come together with a group of people who have similar experiences.”

When it came time to think about life after Newton Country Day, Hughes found support from teachers and faculty members to pursue her passion post-graduation. “Ms. Borders, Ms. Swallow, and (Director of Performing Arts) Mr. Turner were so helpful with my college application process,” she noted. “They really care about their students. I don’t think I would have plans to perform in college without them.”

Hughes is proud of the work she put into the application process, which included submitting videos of herself singing, dancing, and acting. Hughes was accepted into Northwestern University, where she is currently a theater major and hopes to be in the musical theater program, which she is trying out for this fall. The major is composed of approximately 80 undergrads; performers as well as students studying to be stage managers and directors. Hughes noted that fellow NCDS alumnae, and current Northwestern

students, Hope Banach ’18 and Patrice Powers ’17 have both provided advice about student life at the school.

For her senior project, Hughes worked at the Concord Youth Theatre. “My senior project was really fun,” she said. “I helped teach three elementary school level theatre classes, assisted with the elementary main stage musical, and also helped the older kids devise a show. It was great working with these talented kids while increasing my knowledge about performance and what happens behind the scenes.

“I am so thankful for opportunities that I had at Newton Country Day,” Hughes concluded. “I don’t think I would have had them if I attended a different school. I was always encouraged to try new things. At NCDS, people do not judge you for trying. Without the faculty and my friends being so enthusiastic and happy for me, I don’t think I would have auditioned for anything, and I definitely would not be in school for theater now.”

Chloe Warshaw ’19 Before Chloe Warshaw ’19 danced through the doors of Newton Country Day, she had no formal dance training. “I have done gymnastics since I was in diapers, so body awareness and flexibility come easily to me,” she explained. “I was also in musicals before high school and learned theatre dancing through those productions. But before attending NCDS, most of my dancing came from my own exploration: dancing in my bedroom, in empty classrooms, and learning steps off of YouTube videos and television shows.”

When she was introduced to the dance program at Newton, Warshaw knew it was something she wanted to take seriously. As a ninth grader, she enrolled in the Dance Technique class, which allowed her to perform in Advent Vespers and Hearthrobs. She also leaped at the opportunity to independently choreo-

graph her own numbers for En Pointe Committee and other student choreography projects.

Under the guidance of dance teachers Melissa Davenport, Leigh Lucey, and Ashlie Swallow, Warshaw explored a wide-range of dance styles and discovered herself as a dancer. “I would not be the dancer I am today without the combination of the three dance teachers at NCDS,” she said. “Ms. Lucey has been a mentor, giving me the ballet vocabulary necessary to be a successful dancer and connecting me with dance outside of school. Ms. Swallow showed me how to create in a unique way and truly find my own style of dance. Ms. Davenport introduced me to connecting dance with life. All three teachers are not only dance mentors, but sources of support in my four years at Newton in just about everything.”

In the spring of her senior year, Warshaw took part in the first annual Festival of the Arts. Working alongside classmates Alena Cox ’19 and Madigan Kelly ’19, Warshaw choreographed and performed a piece titled “Alone Together.” “I am very appreciative that the dance department let us choreograph a nearly eight minute piece essentially by ourselves,” she said.

“It was a great way to showcase what we had learned over the years in our dance classes in our own way.

Each of the student choreography pieces allowed us as the dancers to bond with each other and be creative.”

When Warshaw was not on stage, she ran the 2019 Boston Marathon, served as the head of the Honor Committee, was a part of P.R.I.S.M., a committee that aims to explore diversity within the NCDS community, and played on the Varsity Soccer team.

She is also passionate about advocacy and works with the American Civil Liberties Union. In 2018, she launched the politically informative website Enfranchise the Youth (www.enfranchisetheyouth.org) with classmate Aoife Harte ’19 in order to educate and help “young people discover their own unique political perspective.”

“Advocacy appealed to me simply because the more I learned about the world, the more I realized that my voice was powerful,” she said. “I believe that many people who are involved in the arts are also involved in advocacy work. In both fields you are sharing a message to a broader community and becoming a character or a cause larger than yourself. I began to see my privileged background as an opportunity to make change, and that if I acted with kindness and compassion to those I spent each day with, I must extend it to those outside my immediate community.”

For her Senior Project, Warshaw worked alongside choreographers at Urbanity Dance in Boston. Urbanity Dance exists to engage, inspire,

and empower individuals and communities through the art of dance and movement. “At Urbanity I was not confined to one task,” she explained. “I helped with their dance education program, working on projects such as financial

aid programs and programs for dancers who are training seriously. I also observed their professional company’s rehearsals and was able to get insight into the work of a professional dancer extraordinarily up close. I learned about the widespread impact of the arts and the incredible passion and hard work that goes into every dance class, performance, and rehearsal. I saw firsthand just how powerful dance and the arts can be if those involved are truly committed.”

In June, Warshaw graduated with honors and received the St. Philippine Duchesne Prize, given to a student who demonstrates a spirit of steadfast purpose and the courage of her convictions. She is currently a student at Bates College, where she is minoring in dance. u

Alumnae in the Arts Kate Herlihy ’04 When she was a student at Newton Country Day visiting Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Kate Herlihy ’04 had no way of knowing that one day she would be the museum’s first-ever Director of Planning and Logistics. “It is amazing to work at a place that has inspired you all of your life,” said Herlihy. “I remember coming here with Charles Berman’s Art History class. NCDS is where I first connected to the idea that there is a visual history of the world.”

Herlihy’s job in arts administration requires significant travel, which she is supremely comfortable with thanks to her time at Newton. “[Former History teacher] Juliette Zener opened my eyes to history and that travel is empowering.

When I told her I planned to study abroad in France while at Bowdoin College, she lobbied me to go to Grenada instead, despite the fact that I spoke French but not a word of Spanish. I trusted her and flew to Grenada by myself, lived with a family that did not speak English, took all my Kate Herlihy ’04 classes in Spanish, and just figured it out. I now travel all the time to countries where I do not speak the language. I would not “When I met with Sister Rogers to talk through be nearly as comfortable had it not been for that forwhat my next steps should be, I knew I wanted to mative trip to Grenada that Ms. Zener insisted I take!” go back to school.

business degree with the arts was just how I got my foot in the door,” Herlihy said. “It was a great way to get to know everyone at the museum. When you are scheduling for someone, you are their gatekeeper.

It’s an opportunity to absorb the culture of the place where you work.”

Soon enough, the Gardner recognized Herlihy’s organizational and management talent. In her current position, Herlihy has created museum planning processes and oversees the planning of all exhibitions.

Each exhibition takes approximately three years to plan from the idea phase until the doors open. “You can’t make every decision right away, and sometimes that stage of uncertainty is uncomfortable. You wonder how this design will come together. There is a lot to be learned from sitting with that discomfort, though, and chipping away at the project.”

One reason that each exhibition takes so long to plan is the myriad of perspectives to consider.

“Museums hold a lot of power. They tell many stories.

Museums are keepers of history and with that comes much responsibility. When we pick a history to record or display, we must ask: How do we tell these stories?

Whose voices should we highlight? At the Gardner, we are bringing in diverse partners to help tell these stories, and that takes a lot more planning.”

One such example is the recent exhibition “Botticelli: Heroines and Heroes.” The show reunited Botticelli’s Story of Lucretia with his Story of Virginia; paintings in which the central female characters “led virtuous lives and met tragic ends that had far reaching political consequences,” as described by the Gardner’s exhibition brochure. The Gardner engaged the perspective of graphic novelist Karl Stevens, whose

cartoons offered contemporary-minded commentary from the paintings’ female subjects.

Regarding a multi-perspective project, Herlihy noted, “The best team has a broad range of experiences, and a huge part of my job is to educate different constituencies and facilitate communication among them.” Herlihy can draw a line from her present-day ability to do just that to her experiences as a student in both Kathleen Scully Hodges’ and Charles Hodges’ classes at NCDS. “In Mrs. Hodges’ religion classes we had debates in which we had to be respectful of others’ opinions while also voicing our own. We were so passionate about this exercise that we took those debates out of the classroom and into lunch. I learned an essential life and business skill: how to argue a point without being ‘in a fight.’” Also

at NCDS, Herlihy wanted to get involved in theater without being on stage. “Mr. Hodges made me stage manager and he let me assistant direct. He had an amazing way of seeing someone and valuing what they brought to the table, but also how it needed to shift in order to achieve the larger vision. So much of my job at the Gardner is doing precisely that.”

Now in her third year as Director of Planning and Logistics, Herlihy is pleased that the museum has joined others on the world stage. “Our ambition now matches our ability, and we continue to grow. We are increasing our exhibitions. We are taking loans from the Met and the Uffizi and the Bergamo.”

The beneficiaries of Herlihy’s expertise are the visitors who roam the Gardner every day. What they do not see enhances their experience at the museum.

“When a show opens, my work is done. My hope is that people have felt supported and valued during the process.” Reflecting on her journey to where she is today, Herlihy says, “Newton really fed my creativity and gave me a sense of adventure. I was always a riskaverse and shy kid, but at Newton I was empowered by my teachers to have the courage and confidence to take academic risks, to travel, and to push myself outside of my comfort zone in order to obtain a more global vision.”

Meghan Lewis ’88 Five years ago, Meghan Lewis ’88 took a risk.

She opened her own residential design firm, Lewis Vaughn Interiors, after 15 years working in-house at CBT Architects, a multi-national architecture and interior design firm. Lewis did this without a website or utilizing social media platforms. Lewis has relied solely on word-of-mouth, and her business has grown. “Relationship-building is so important to me,” said Lewis.“I value relationships, and I work hard to foster them. One of the lasting lessons from my time at Newton Country Day School is really the importance of all kinds of relationships and how to tend to them.”

Lewis discovered her passion for the arts early.

She started at NCDS in the 7th grade and took art classes with former faculty member Ms. Michelle Mennucci. “Back then, many schools did not require that students take visual art,” she recalled. “NCDS did, and it really helped to validate my interests.”

Lewis credits Newton for noticing her interest in the arts and giving her opportunities to explore it.

“The first time I travelled to Europe was on a Sacred Heart trip with other girls from our schools in Chicago, New York, and California. In those days,

“One of the lasting lessons from my time at Newton Country Day School is really the importance of all kinds of relationships and how to tend to them.” – MEGHAN LEWIS ’88 the trip took place the summer Meghan Lewis ’88 before 9th grade. There were three of us from NCDS who went together to Sacred Heart schools in London and Paris.

The trip helped me to identify my interest in art history and architecture.” Lewis remembers electing to study art history at NCDS and how foundational that was for her. “I ended up minoring in art history in college, which I never would have had I not had that exposure to it in Upper School. Seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Cathedral of Notre Dame in person — specifically the detail in design and engineering in person — inspired me in ways that could never be felt by looking at a page in a textbook.”

Lewis studied psychology and art history at the University of Vermont. After graduation, she took a job in marketing at Fidelity Investments and moved into an apartment in the North End with classmate Tina Lawler McHugh ’88. Not long after, Lewis was offered a marketing position at a financial firm in New York City. While she knew relocating would present its own challenges, she jumped at the chance.

“I went from college to living in a nice two-bedroom apartment in a great part of Boston with a good friend, to living in a loft space with five strangers in my late 20s! I was willing to make that sacrifice because I really wanted the experience of living in New York City.”

Soon after arriving in New York and beginning her position in marketing, Lewis felt an urge to do something more creative. Reflecting on her enjoyment of art, she decided to make a career change.

“I was accepted into the interior design program at Parsons School of Design, and I absolutely loved studying there.” Eventually, Boston called her home, and Lewis finished up her Master’s in interior design

FA L L 2 0 1 9

at Boston Architectural College.

“After finishing my Master’s Degree, I really found a professional home at CBT Architects,” said Lewis. “I worked in the Interiors Group and did mostly corporate and academic spaces.”

Lewis credits her years at CBT with giving her the opportunity to have interdisciplinary experiences. With such a large, full service firm behind her, she felt empowered and inspired to take on large projects. “The biggest project that I worked on took almost three years from inception to completion,” Lewis recalled.

“It was for a large law firm with 10 floors of space on Huntington Avenue. We were responsible for the architecture and interiors.

The clients were demanding in the sense that they were perfectionists who wanted everything in writing. I learned so much from them, and I have taken what I learned and brought it into my own business practice. I put everything in writing, and I know I can work well with people who have very different personalities from my own.”

When Lewis opened her own firm, she learned that she had to draw on her communication strengths — not to mention her psychology degree — when managing all of the different personalities and points of view that come into play with a residential project. “Designing a home is very different from designing a corporate or academic space because the stake-holders have personally invested their emotions and their capital into the project.

Thanks in large part to NCDS and my undergraduate background, I am well-equipped to handle these challenges.

“For most creative people like myself, the hardest part is actually running the business, which of course one needs to do in order to figure out how to make money in a creative industry. All I want to do

is design, but in order to support myself with my art, I need to market and bill and network and a million other things.”

To anyone trying to transform their artistic passions into a thriving business, Lewis recommends finding a good mentor. “I had a great mentor at CBT who taught me that any type of design will always require research, planning, coordination, and understanding the client’s wants and needs.” Reflecting on the challenges that come with running a creative business, Lewis says “You need grit. You need determination. You need to stick to it and understand that things don’t happen quickly.

There is a perception that interior design is a very fancy business.

I am here to tell you that it is all about hard work and listening to your clients.”

Lewis wants recent graduates to hold onto their individuality and integrity. For example, she knows that Instagram is a big part of a business plan in her field.

Kyra Prats ’09 However for Lewis, using Instagram would be a departure from who she truly is. “No one feels special through Instagram. When I see an image that I think a client will enjoy, I send it to only that client

along with a note about why I think it might resonate with him or her. Relationships are important. Don’t lose sight of your perspective and who you are.”

Kyra Prats ’09 Kyra Prats ’09 knew that dancing was her passion as early as her first ballet class. “I started dancing when I was seven or eight, which is a little bit late, since most dancers start when they are two or three.” As a seventh grade student at Newton Country Day, with years of dance experience behind her, Prats participated in the required dance classes of the Middle School curriculum with Ms. Hassinger and Ms. Giunta.

“I was really thankful for such an active dance program at Newton,” she said. “I knew that once I was in the Upper School I could dance as a sport in addition to dance classes.” Strictly a ballet dancer until freshman year of High School, Prats tried her hand at jazz as a four-year member of the Dance team and branched out into the liturgical dance committee. She continued to take additional classes outside of school and participated in the Summer Stages Dance Company at Concord Academy.

Kyra Prats ’09 Measuring Photosynthesis

After Newton Country Day, Prats enrolled at Boston College, where she majored in Environmental Geosciences and was a part of the Boston Liturgical Dance Ensemble. She then attended Yale’s Graduate School of Forestry & Environmental Science, completing her Master’s in 2016. Currently, Prats is in her fourth year of a Ph.D. program at Yale, focusing on plant physiology. Feeling like something was missing, once she arrived in New Haven, Connecticut, she researched ways to have dance be a part of her life again.

At Yale, Prats discovered Yale Dance Theater (YDT), a faculty-led extracurricular initiative that enables Yale students to work with professional artists on the reconstruction of existing choreography and/ or development of new work. “A lot of dance opportunities at Yale are specifically for undergraduates, but YDT is split 50/50 between undergraduate and graduate students,” she explained. “It is really nice to have that mixing of communities and to interact with people that I had not met before.”

This past spring, Prats was a part of YDT’s restaging of Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane Company’s piece, The Man in the Waters. “The piece came out of the AIDS epidemic, so it was emotionally heavy and is one of that company’s more well-known pieces,” she said. “It was an honor to not only be dancing again, but to dance in that capacity. It was much harder than I expected because so much of the emotional struggle of the piece was manifested through the physicality of it. It was one of the most life-changing dance experiFA L L 2 0 1 9

ences that I have ever been a part of. Because we had to convey struggle through our dance, we focused a lot on talking about it as a community; it was nice to be able to process those feelings together. There was also a day when Bill T. Jones came to our rehearsal. It was amazing to be in his presence and see how this piece still affects him to this day.

“For me, dancing is something that helps me focus while in school,” Prats continued. “Getting a Ph.D. is difficult. It is a long, grueling process. You could always do more work, so you have to find a way to stop at the end of the day and be satisfied with your progress. Dance gives me something other than my research to look forward to. It breaks up my routine and that has helped me in other aspects of my life, too.” In addition to dance classes at Yale, Prats is also dancing through the New Haven Ballet Company.

Although Prats did not take Environmental Science at NCDS, she was always interested in science.

“Dr. Tam’s AP Chemistry and Dr. Sen’s AP Biology classes really served as a great foundation for me to later specialize in the sciences,” she recalled. Since graduating from Newton, Prats has kept in touch with Dr. Tam and Dr. Sen and returns to campus to judge the annual Science and Engineering Fair. “Judging the Fair is a nice opportunity for me to come back and visit the teachers who formed my experiences and to see what the girls are learning in science.

“Having been a student at Newton for six years, the Sacred Heart goals are still very much a part of my life,” remarked Prats. “Dancing with YDT is about building a community — that is a goal that has really stuck with me. The same can be said for Goal II: a deep respect for intellectual values. As someone getting a Ph.D., that is something I definitely still live by.”

Anica Scott-Garrell ’01 In December 2013 at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney, Australia, the curtain opened on the Disney Theatrical Production The Lion King. In the audience were almost two thousand musical theater enthusiasts, eager to see the stage-adaptation of the beloved Disney story. On stage was Anica Scott-Garrell ’01. Initially cast in the ensemble, Scott-Garrell ultimately danced, sang, and played the part of Shenzi with the Australian company. While her time with the award-winning show has been a highlight of her career thus far, Scott-Garrell does not consider it a laurel on which to rest. She is always looking forward, challenging, and empowering herself to achieve.

the hardest of these arts to develop, but dancing is the one that has always come more easily to me. [Former Newton Country Day dance faculty member] Kathy Hassinger saw how passionate I was about dance and really pushed me to achieve more.

She was the one who told me I could actually get a degree in dance.” Scott-Garrell graduated from Fordham University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, which she earned at the Lincoln Center Campus Anica Scott-Garrell ’01 majoring in dance and liberal arts. “I tell students to go with their passion, but to also think logically. That is what I did by choosing a school that is not a conservatory.

I wanted to broaden my opportunities even as I developed my primary art, which of course is dance.”

During her senior year at Fordham, Scott-Garrell danced with the Complexion Dance Company, founded by choreographer Dwight Rhoden and dancer Desmond Richardson. “I apprenticed with the company my senior year of college. That experience was truly challenging and rewarding, as I was surrounded by breathtakingly amazing dancers of the highest caliber. I battled a lot of what I now know is imposter syndrome, but I fought through those feelings and took on the challenge of learning repertoire that was mentally and physically challenging. Completing that experience gave me confidence in my artistry.”

Immediately after graduation from Fordham, Scott-Garrell was one of only 12 dancers invited to audition for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York. She was offered a position in the internationally renowned Ailey II Company, for which she danced for the next three years. “This was another monumental spoke in the grand wheel of my development as an artist. Not only was I a part of the Alvin Ailey legacy via study at the Ailey School,

but now I was forever part of an echelon of dancers that have had the experience of learning and performing Alvin Ailey’s repertoire. Once an Ailey dancer, always an Ailey dancer! It’s like being part of a family.”

Feeling the need to grow and develop beyond dance, Scott-Garrell left Ailey II in 2007 and went back to auditioning and taking singing and theater classes whenever she could. “Some artists feel a sense of relief when they book a job, and they relish the downtime that comes with a regular schedule,” she said.“I don’t do that. Whenever I book a job, I put that money and any time I have toward theater or voice lessons. In order to be a triple threat, I need to hone all of my performing arts abilities.

Each discipline has a standard that you must meet in order to book jobs, and each art requires a certain level of skill that you simply cannot feign. I am committed to using my resources to upscale my marketability.”

Post-Ailey II auditioning went well, and Scott-Garrell was asked to help choreograph the ballroom dancing portion of Le Reve at the Wynn Resort is Las Vegas. “Mr. Wynn himself wanted to include ballroom dance. I was hired in New York to work with professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovsky, who choreographed the Paso Doble that is now done in the show. I moved from New York to Las Vegas and was part of six dancers who helped workshop the choreography. The show itself went dark, which means it didn’t run any performances for about six weeks while this new element of the show was created on us. It eventually premiered in the fall of 2007,” she explained. When Wynn offered her a position as a steady extra, she turned down the contract. “I saw myself as a lead, and I wanted to continue to grow into my goals. It took courage and confidence to turn down that opportunity, but at NCDS I learned

Dear Alumnae, Families, and Friends, On behalf of Sister Rogers and my fellow Trustees, thank you for your continued support and commitment to Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. Our goal of challenging girls to become women of intellect, character, innovation, action, and faith is alive and well.

In this Annual Report, you will see that the School had a banner year, raising more than $4.3 million in total. The Gala celebrating 200 years of Sacred Heart education in the Americas surpassed our goal, raising more than $1.6 million. All funds will be used to support our tuition assistance program so that deserving girls can receive an NCDS education. The warmth at the Gala emanated throughout the room from past parents, recent alumnae, faculty members, and more. The spirit of the School was evident from the dance and Schola performances of our girls to the energy of our parents and alumnae on the dance floor.

Christopher J. Kelly P’05’07’12’16

As the father of four alumnae, I was again reminded that the deep connection to this community continues long after our daughters graduate. Due to the support of our generous donors, our Annual Fund efforts reached $1.7 million. Our Class of 2019 families joined together to raise $300,000 to underwrite the cost of a new science and engineering lab. Over the last five years, we have seen a significant increase in alumnae giving. Newton is blessed with a dedicated community of volunteers that has committed hundreds of hours of hard work for our School.

We are in an excellent position to look toward what is next.

While our academic program rivals any in the Boston area, what differentiates NCDS from other schools is what else is emphasized, from social justice, athletics and the arts, to a wellness curriculum that ensures our students are well-equipped to handle life’s challenges. The Board is energized by The Future of Learning initiative, the additional engineering labs, and the continuing technical enhancements in the classroom. Last spring our Middle School girls participated in a Wellness Day, and the Class of 2022 had open, useful conversations at its first Diversity Day. To continue to strengthen our School, we look to the individuals and families who make NCDS the truly unique place it is. Each person in our community plays an important role in keeping Sacred Heart education thriving in greater Boston. In order for us to achieve our goals, it is important for you to be invested in our future and help to continue a legacy of instilling courage and confidence for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Christopher J. Kelly P’05’07’12’16 Chair, Board of Trustees

Senior Family Fund We were honored to serve as Chairs of the Senior Family Fund, and were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response and generous support from the families of the Class of 2019.

It’s fitting that the 2019 senior family gift is the creation of a new science classroom. Our daughters have grown up during an era of expanding participation and leadership by women in the fields of science and technology. It seems an appropriate way to express our appreciation for the exceptional education they have received and the love they have for NCDS. Mary and Bill Mahoney P’17’19 Cheryl and Chris Lee P’19

Million Dollar Gift Endows the Louie Coates Faculty Chair With delight we announce an anonymous gift of $1,000,000 to endow the Mary-Louise Coates Faculty Chair. This transformative gift will benefit outstanding faculty working in math or science.

Mary-Louise “Louie” Coates was an exemplary faculty member at Newton Country Day School for 22 years. Dedicated to her students, she nurtured their curiosity by challenging them to expand their thinking beyond the classroom. A Sacred Heart alumna (Stone Ridge ’72) and the mother of three Newton Country Day graduates, Mrs. Coates embodies the mission and goals of Sacred Heart schools.

The anonymous donors appreciate our exceptional faculty and the influence that skilled teachers have on our girls. Endowing the Chair helps the School continue to attract and retain teachers noted for their excellence and commitment to the mission. With a focus on the long-term sustainability of Newton Country Day, the donors want girls’ education, rooted in the Sacred Heart tradition, to continue for generations.

“We expect this extraordinary gift is the first of many endowed faculty chairs at Newton Country Day,” said Sister Rogers. “A gift of such magnitude has a profound impact on our School and our girls. Supporting our outstanding teachers sends a strong message that their superior work is recognized. We are extremely grateful to our donors.”

Très Bien Auction Congratulations to the Très Bien Auction Committee, Co-Chairs Beth Hayes P’22, Robin Hunt P’21, Gia Nicolazzo P’14’23, and Marilyn Parker ’86, P’11’21, and its spirited volunteers for organizing a spectacular evening at Fenway Park. The event was filled with a crowd of enthusiastic guests who were ready and willing to support the School.

The committee introduced the genius idea of a “Mini-Live,” when guests stopped mobile bidding but instead raised their paddles for a limited number of exceptional premium items. The highlight of “Mini-Live” was two families winning a 10-day vacation at a beach front villa in exotic Thailand. The excitement continued as guests engaged in an amusing game of “Heads or Tails” before sitting for dinner at the State Street Pavilion. It was followed by the Live Auction, which included items such as a customized golf cart; a trip to the “Eternal City,” which included private tours of the Vatican and Sistene Chapel; a luxury vacation to historic Charleston; and a gourmet dinner for 10 guests at the Clarke test kitchen at Seven Tide, along with sought after experiences at Fenway Park and other attractive venues. This year’s Fund-a-Need provided two additional scoreboards for the Martin Wellness Center. The Committee and its team of volunteers committed tireless hours and efforts that resulted in an extraordinary and successful evening, with gross proceeds exceeding $400,000 for the School.

Founders’ Society Spotlight: Joanne Flynn ’62 Recently Newton Country Day School gratefully received a major planned gift from a dedicated alumna’s estate. Joanne Flynn was a member of the Class of 1962 and died in 2017. She committed more than $240,000 of her retirement plan to the School.

Along with Joanne, her sister, Susan E. Sundstrom ’68, also graduated from Newton Country Day. Joanne went on to study at Manhattanville College and Newton College of the Sacred Heart. For a number of years Joanne was a Religious of the Sacred Heart. Later, she moved to California, where she held multiple management positions. She also served others as a member of the Ignatian Volunteer Corps.

Years ago, Joanne joined the NCDS Founders’ Society, sharing with the School her intention of including NCDS in her will. Her generosity to Newton Country Day will help ensure that future generations of girls will benefit from a Sacred Heart education in Newton.

Established in 1993, the Founders’ Society recognizes members of the Newton Country Day School community who have designated the School as a beneficiary in their estate plans.We thank donors like Joanne Flynn who help to foster the culture of philanthropy and giving back to the School.

C L A S S NOTES

Dear Alumnae, What an incredible year it has been! Over the past 12 months, more alumnae were brought together than ever before at the 200th Gala and liturgy celebrating Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne; Reunion last spring; and our regional receptions in Boston, Naples, Washington, D.C., and New York. We are grateful to those who volunteered at Rosie’s Place; evaluated Senior Projects and the Science and Engineering Fair; spoke to the girls on a panel or in classes; and supported our fundraising efforts. Giving Day 2019 was another great success, with over 200 alumnae donors participating.

I was thrilled to meet and connect with many of you, so this year I intend to keep that momentum going. In an effort to further engage with our alumnae community, you should have received the 2019-20 Alumnae Events postcard in the mail.

Mark your calendars with the events you plan to attend. If

you are in the area, please drop in for an impromptu tour, to catch up with your former teachers, or just to say hello! We love having alumnae visit campus. You can reach me via email at apower@newtonSH.org, by phone (617) 559-4731, or by attending one of our events.

Thank you all for making this year one for the books — I can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Sincerely,

Amanda Power ’07 Director of Alumnae Relations

Class of 1950 Class Reporter Frances Pierson O’Leary fran.olearly@comcast.net One year early but we couldn’t wait! On May 4, six members of the Class of 1950, all in Massachusetts, made the trip to Newton to attend Reunion. In attendance were Barbara Smith Hernberg, Maureen Malone Quine, Anne Ronan Kane, Catherine (Kay) MacLellan O’Keeffe, Ailsa Kennedy Steinert, and me (Fran Pierson O’Leary).

We had a wonderful time and plan to get together more often. Kay has finally retired!

82

She and Dick still live in Osterville, Mass., and she attended the Sacred Heart reunion on the Cape with her two younger sisters Virginia MacLellan Fettig ’52 and Grace MacLellan ’57. (Eleanor MacLellan ’47 is an RSCJ.) Kay reported the sudden death of our classmate Rhoda MacLellan, who was also her cousin. Anne and Leonard live in Weston, Mass., and winter in Florida where they see Marcia Moriarty Ronan and her husband, John, who is Anne’s brother. Maureen (Pudgy), a retired teacher, still teaches!

She volunteers twice a week at the Concord prison and reports great satisfaction with the program and the other teachers, but most of all the prisoners, who are a great joy.

Pudgy and her husband Bob live in Annisquam, Mass. where Anne and Leonard have a summer home nearby. Ailsa, also a retired teacher and a published poet, still lives in Manchester, Mass. Barbara stays busy with travel, bridge, and golf. She recently traveled to Morocco, one of her favorite places. Fran still lives in Cambridge, Mass. where she enjoys activities available both in Boston and Cambridge. She travels, but not as far as she used to, mostly in the United States. If this makes those of you who missed reunion want to get together, please contact one or more of us. We would love to see the other four members of our class who were unable to attend.”

Great fun! Still subbing in the Scituate elementary schools. Can’t seem to say goodbye to the kids I love. I finished my 36th year in St. Mary’s choir. We did the ‘Seven Last Words’ in Latin at Easter in four parts and we were a roaring success! My joyful best wishes to all with hopes that you are well.”

Class of 1958 Class Reporter Betsy Gannon betsygannon@netzero.net

Class of 1959 Dorothy (Dotty) Daly Voris writes, “Best wishes to my classmates on the 60 year anniversary of our graduation from NCDS! My husband, George Voris and I have twins, Michael and Meghan, and four grandchildren. We have lived in Potomac, Maryland for 31 years. I taught third grade for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. until my retirement in 2003. We are in the midst of ‘decluttering’ in the hopes of moving North to be near family who live in New York City and New Canaan, Conn. It will take at least a year at the rate we are going! If you are visiting Washington, D.C., please let us know.

We would love to see you.”

Class of 1960 Gwendolyn Hoeffel, RSCJ writes, “When I returned from 50 years in Japan in Fall 2014, I made an attempt to contact class members and attended our 55th reunion with two others. I met Christine Brady, but have lost contact once again. Does anyone know her whereabouts? Lolín (Dolores) Menéndez, RSCJ and I reunite at our Society meetings. She is sharing her FA L L 2 0 1 9

Many elderly RSCJ come to Albany for their final days of caring and praying. If anyone is in this lovely area, do contact me and come by our house (917) 864-5615”

Class of 1969 Barbara Hess DePasquale writes, “Two years ago, I retired from teaching at Peirce School in West Newton. A month later, I moved to Las Vegas. I drove cross-country with a friend and we did a lot of sightseeing. One of my sons and his two daughters (ages one and three) also live here. My daughter lives in nearby Henderson, and also has two daughters the same ages. I spend a lot of time with both families and enjoy being a grandmother. I usually go back to the northeast two times a year to visit a son in Cambridge, and my oldest son and his family in Vermont, including two more grandchildren. The mountains in Nevada are beautiful, though the intense heat lasts well into October. I do not miss the snow; I had a year’s worth during my last visit to Vermont! I drove past Newton Country Day last summer, the entrance is still beautiful; much has also changed in 50 years! Best to all my classmates.”

Katherine (Ruah) Huber Bull writes, “Good heavens — we graduated 50 years ago — how did that happen? I still work as a Catholic spiritual director in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco, seeing folks from a wide variety of traditions.

I have pagans, Buddhists, Catholics of many stripes, including some amazing nuns, Nones, and all sorts of Protestants in my practice. The retreat center where I worked, Angela Center, burned down in the fires two years ago, so now I work out of my home and at various churches where I facilitate retreats. My position as adjunct faculty at Mercy Center in Burlingame continues, but I let go of the centering prayer program to focus more on developing programs on the spiritual path of the elder. My own spirituality is nourished by

a Native American shamanic circle I have been a part of for 35 years, and the Catholicism I find at retreat centers that focus on the contemplative and the Celtic paths.

My husband is selling his business, so we are looking at what to do in semi-retirement. My own director is an 80-year-old Domincan nun, so I hope to continue to do this for many more years, but Les wants to find something more creative. He plans to spend time in Nova Scotia where there is gorgeous music, so perhaps working on musical instruments will be his next exploration. We have been blessed with good health so far- and do not take that for granted. I am grateful for meaningful work that brings me deep joy, a marriage that still delights and comforts me, a community of wise and funny women, and an ongoing walk with God that never ceases to surprise and challenge and heal and open me. May all of us, the Class of 1969, be inspired as we walk into this next phase.

I pray we grow into elders, serving in our own unique way this suffering and beautiful world. May we grow in wisdom.”

C L A S S NOTES

Class of 1972 Marie Gauthier Portner writes, “My husband Michael and I are very excited about moving to New Hampton, N.H. in the Lakes Region. Since the last reunion, we’ve enjoyed having lunch with Laurie Chapman Bosco and her husband John a couple of times each year.”

Class of 1973 Marianne Abely moved to Carey, North Carolina.

Class of 1974 Class Reporter Margaret (Meg) Fahy Galligan meggalligan@gmail.com This is a special year, as it was the 45th reunion for our class. Maura Sheehan Davis, Margaret Hrushesky, Siobhan Campbell Jordan ’75, Deri Lutz, Marnie Reynolds, Karen McCarthy Sullivan, Eileen Heenan White, and I (Meg Fahy Galligan) attended Reunion. We had a lot of fun catching up, and look forward to attending our 50th with hopes of having a large class turnout. I have been in touch with the following gals who were highlighted in last year’s Class Notes: Jane Ronayne Boulay, Marie Kirk Burke, Ellen Hannan, Carrie Mathers-Kurland, Karen Quinn Regan, Marnie Reynolds, and Deborah (Debbie) Boole Smelko. All is well and they look forward to attending our 50th.

Marnie came to reunion and got a chance to see her daughter Isabel Ruane’s office (Isabel teaches History at NCDS), and she

was just days away from traveling to Greece for vacation. Debbie adds that all three of her kids moved back to her area: TJ volunteers and works part time, Peter is married and sells commercial real estate, and Katie attends seminary for a master’s in biblical counseling. Deb welcomes you to visit Dallas and stay with her. I was fortunate to not only be on the same reunion schedule as my niece Beth Galligan Bixenman ’04, but also my daughter Cori Galligan ’14, who experienced her first one. My husband and I are thrilled that Cori remained in the area after college, as she lives and works in Boston. Maura Sheehan Davis and her husband live in Duxbury, Mass., and love to sail, cruise, and ski. She is a nurse practitioner and has owned a healthcare consulting company for 15 years. She travels to client sites all over the United States.

Maura is winding down her travels to stay in Massachusetts and winters in Florida, focusing on private practice. Their daughter is a real estate agent and, like her father, a serious big boat racer. Their son Garrett is a talented musician getting his MBA. Eileen Heenan White and her husband Kevin live in Dover, Mass. and have four children.

Their family has happily grown these last few years with two daughters-in-law, two grandchildren, and two more on the way.

They purchased a summer home in Duxbury, adding beach and boating fun for the family. Having discovered at Reunion that she lives near Maura, they suggest creating a mini-reunion in Duxbury for any of us willing to come that way. Margaret Hrushesky lives in Greenville, North Carolina with her son who is in college. She received her bachelor’s degree and her MAEd. Counselor & Adult Education from East Carolina University. She pursued a career as a K-12 school counselor. Eventually, she taught ESL again, something she had once done for a year in Costa Rica. Margaret has worked closely with the disenfranchised, creating an association to improve her neighborhood and working with community policing efforts to promote safety, and she is a member of Greenville’s Neighborhood Advisory Board. Her goals are to tap into her artistic talents, travel, and potentially teach ESL abroad. Patricia Annino is an estate planning lawyer in Boston and has

written six books and speaks throughout the country on estate planning and legacy topics. She and her husband were happy to run into classmate Karen Quinn Regan and her husband at a dinner. Patty was sorry to miss Reunion due to a conflict with her speaking schedule and hopes to attend our 50th. I am happy to report that many classmates reached out and stated that they have a strong desire to attend our 50th reunion in 2024. Let’s have a record-breaking attendance for our class. We do hope to gather before then.

Class of 1977 Susie Hays writes, “It was great seeing everyone who was able to make it to our 40th reunion in May 2017. Hope to see more of you at our 45th. As many of you may know, my sister Sally Hays ’79 died in 2015, and my mum passed in 2013. My sister Melinda Hays Muto ’84 recently moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. where I had the pleasure of spending a couple of weeks around Thanksgiving. My other sister Betsy is still in Waltham with her family, and brother Woody lives in Maine with his family. We still have the cottage in Gloucester. All are welcome to stop by if you are in the area. I have been practicing law in Hartford, Conn. for the past 35 years at the same firm, so I am a little bit of a dinosaur. It has been an interesting career, but I look forward to retiring and moving on to other adventures. Spent some time in California a couple of summers ago visiting Jane Murphy and plan on getting out there again. Brought one of my nieces to the Galapagos a year ago — a trip I highly recommend. I picked up rowing three years ago (after watching my nephew Patrick Muto row for eight years), and have become a referee for US Rowing.

If any of you have children or grandchildren who row, look for me at the NE Regattas. In the winter I joined a rock chorus (no audition required) — Rock Voices. It is tons of fun to sing again. Finally learned the real words to Space Oddity. If anyone is ever in or passing through the Hartford area, I would love to see you.”

We had a wonderful celebration of her life at St. Eulalia’s in Winchester, attended by 120 people, including three co-celebrants, priests formerly of St. Paul’s in Cambridge, whom we have known for decades. My activities in 2018 included volunteering with the Restoration Project in Belmont, a vocational program for people with traumatic head injury; taking care of animals and bringing my dogs to the Somerville Senior Living Community (my parents’ residence) for pet therapy; going to Get in Shape for Women in Belmont to keep fit and be part of a supportive community; and my number one passion, singing. Since 2017 I have been with the Mystic Chorale, which rehearses in Arlington and performs in Boston, Lexington, and at senior assisted-living programs and nursing homes. I have brought small groups to assisted living residences and also sung there with my good friend Arnie Rosen, a Berklee grad and brilliant guitarist. My stepchildren are doing very well, one driving and visiting colleges, and the younger one doing the same later this year. Both are excellent students, creative in their own unique ways, excellent at sports, and sure to take the world by storm. My partner Donna Mayo and I celebrated our 12th anniversary in March and will travel this year. My father is 89 and doing great.

We planned a wonderful Father’s Day trip to the Southern Berkshires (where he is from) — a week in the mountains to hike; visit the Norman Rockwell Museum and our old family homestead the Cary House in Colrain; and play lots of Scrabble. Life is good, filled with friends and family, and I hope for many exciting and joyful surprises in the year ahead.”

Class of 1984 Class Reporter Arryn DelMonte Sullivan Asullivan@brighthorizons.com Our 35th Reunion seemed to get the best of the Class of ’84. Many had prior commitments that kept them away. Although we have plans in the works for a soiree in the FA L L 2 0 1 9

next few months, many enjoyed touching base via social media for a quick virtual reunion on May 4. Classmates posted their “hellos” from car rides, vacation, family outings, and sports fields. Maine, Chicago, Arizona, NYC, Philadelphia, and of course Massachusetts were represented. Hoping we will hear from even more classmates when our live reunion takes place. Visit our social media channels to see Class of 1984 virtual reunion photos.

Class of 1987 Class Reporter Suzanne O’Halloran suzanne.ohalloran@gmail.com In hopes of raising awareness of early detection, Julia Drinan writes, “In February 2019 I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma. I had my annual mammogram and found a lump. I was told the mammogram was ‘clean.’ This type of cancer is almost never picked up by mammograms so you need to be persistent and demanding. You have to ask for more, which women often do not do when it comes to their own health care. They ask for their children and their parents, but tend to shy away for themselves. I asked my primary care doctor for an ultrasound, which in turn got me a biopsy that day, which resulted in my diagnosis. They performed an MRI and found three more masses that were not detected on the ultrasound. I am so lucky that I do self-exams and found the lump, and that I was persistent and got more care even when I was first told, “all is okay.” Lastly, I’m so lucky to have sought out the best medical care that formulates a plan that includes everything from your radiation to social workers helping you talk to your children. My mom had breast cancer four years ago; invasive ductal carcinoma. She had been tested for the BRCA gene, so I knew this was just another case of how prevalent breast cancer is. My mom having cancer taught me to be vigilant about my self-exams. Ladies, I know more than ever that you must be your own best advocate. Take your health and well-being as seriously as you would your child or any other loved one. Early

detection is key.” If you would like to reach out to Julia about her experience, you can do so on Facebook. Paula Haynes and Sean Cleary, brother of Paige Cleary Somol ’88, were married in June 2019.

The beautiful outdoor ceremony included a tribute to the couple’s fathers Mr. Fred Haynes, who passed away in May and U.S. Air Force, and Major Peter Cleary who was killed in action serving his country in Vietnam. Christine Thornton Henry and her husband Brian went on a whirlwind exotic vacation visiting Marrakech and London. Allyson Bradley Dillmeier and her husband Dave celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in June! Suzanne O’Halloran attended the annual Newton Country Day School reception in New York City hosted by Ellen Hannan ’74.

Carolyn Veglia Young writes, “For the last 19 years, I have been in Minneapolis, Minn. with my husband, Gianluigi, and three children, Matteo (15), Elisa (14), and Gianmarco (12). In December 2015, I completed my Doctorate of Nursing Practice at the University of Minnesota. I have been practicing as a school nurse for the past three years, and I love it.”
