LETTER FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL

Rise & Shine

Dear Friends, This year we faced one of the greatest challenges that we have had to face in our history — determining how to safely reopen our campus during a worldwide pandemic. Last summer as we began planning for the year, I must admit that it felt a bit daunting. We had to consider every aspect of health and safety (much of which we take for granted) for all constituents of our community; we had to reinvent our daily schedule and routines; we had to integrate technology that would ensure every student had the best possible access to our teachers — all while offering our full curriculum and remaining committed to our mission to develop faith-based leaders.

In these pages, you will discover all the ways in which our students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni were a part of this successful endeavor.

Together, we rise! We continue to face every challenge together, with our Catholic values there to guide us. Compassion, peace, service, justice, trust, hope, and love serve as guideposts — both in times of crisis and in times of calm.

It felt incredibly joyful to welcome students back in the fall. Despite the masks and social distancing, it was wonderful to see classrooms back in action. I believe I speak for everyone at Pope when I say that I will never again take a day on campus for granted. I am grateful for all the planning and new technology that allowed teachers to include all students in their classrooms, even if they are learning from home, and for our parents and benefactors, who make the Pope Francis Prep experience not only possible, but outstanding — even during a pandemic.

In this issue of the Cardinal magazine, you will read about how we rise and shine; how we managed to reopen our campus safely even while many schools remained remote across the country; how our students embraced new restrictions and protocols in the classrooms, while competing in sports, and when practicing their faith and participating in Christian service.

As I write this letter, I am looking forward to the spring, summer, and the future — a time of great promise and hope. And, although many of our school activities were reinvented or reimagined this year, the fundamental element that ensured our success from the start is the unwavering and resilient Pope Francis Prep spirit.

“ I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SPRING, SUMMER, AND THE FUTURE — A TIME OF GREAT PROMISE AND HOPE.” DR. PAUL HARRINGTON

Kindly,

Dr. Paul Harrington Head of School

WE RISE RETURNING TO SCHOOL IN THE FALL brought with it excitement and a note of uncertainty. After being apart for so long, since March of 2020, teachers were looking forward to getting back into the classroom and being with their students face to face.

The faculty and staff realized that coming back to school in the fall for in-person learning was uncharted territory, especially since most schools remained in remote status. We faced the challenge to make this new normal work with tenacity and a renewed dedication to making learning in this unique atmosphere the best it could possibly be.

A reopening committee of faculty, staff, and administrators met weekly from June until opening day in August. This committee was tasked with researching, strategizing, and crafting a reopening plan that provided the greatest sense of normalcy for students while placing health and safety at the forefront. From surveys of school families, to dialogues with education colleagues from other schools, to dissecting policy and recommendations from CDC, MA-DPH, and MA-DESE publications, this committee worked to ensure a safe return to campus. Naturally, things looked and felt different upon return in August — hand-sanitizing stations were placed throughout classrooms and common spaces; plexiglass partitions were added to lunch tables along with reduced capacity; desks were measured to six foot distances from one another in every classroom and classroom capacities were reduced; one-way traffic patterns for passing periods between classes were established; class times were

extended to allow for new cleaning protocols at the conclusion of each period; all students and families agreed to a COVID Code of Conduct outlining pandemic-specific policies; and a re-entry process was established in the event students, faculty, or staff members were out of school for a COVIDrelated absence.

The pandemic has changed the way students are educated. What is now considered best practice may not have been just a year ago. Offering in person learning, as well as synchronous remote learning, during this challenging time has brought out the best in both teachers and students at PFPS and has allowed the continuum of the delivery of high-quality education that our school has become known for.

Upon return, teachers were faced with about 80-90% of their students in the classroom, while the remaining students were remote learners from home.

This created new challenges for teachers to learn how to effectively deliver the curriculum in an engaging

way to both types of learners at the same time. To address these needs, teachers were provided several days of professional development that included workshops on strengthening synchronous and asynchronous formative assessment, how to nurture social and emotional needs to manage trauma, best practices for using technology in a synchronous classroom, expanded use of Google Classroom, learning the many features of Zoom and how to effectively offer extra help and office hours virtually. Along with targeted professional development, teachers were given instruction on advanced use of technology to synchronize instruction in a blended classroom. Naturally, there was a period of transition for both students and teachers, as classmates adjusted to being in a group with remote learners.

Students also had to become used to new types of assessments, as in some instances, traditional assessments would not work with the blended format.

Teachers took advantage of online opportunities to expand their repertoire of classroom tools to make lessons more accessible to all students and to adhere to safety restrictions. One example of

this was the use of simulated science labs where Mrs. Woltschlaeger’s chemistry classes learned about gas laws. The investigation took place in a virtual lab that contained a cylinder filled with gas molecules as well as a thermometer, pressure gauge, hot plate, and weights.

In different scenarios, students changed an independent variable in order to learn more about how the gas properties are related. During the lab students collected data, plotted graphs, made observations and drew conclusions. The real benefit with these types of activities rested in their ability to teach all students effectively in an engaging and safe way.

Although teaching under these unique conditions has been challenging, it has

also allowed teachers to stretch beyond their comfort zones and to implement strategies and use tools that they may not have done during a normal year.

While some classroom techniques and tools may not be implemented in the non-pandemic future, many of our newfound opportunities, expectations and methodologies are here to stay.

Throughout this journey, a critical ingredient to our success has been consistent and transparent communication with students, their parents, and our community at large. In many challenges there is often a silver lining. As a school we have risen to the challenge and found the rewards that adversity often brings.

SENIOR PERSPECTIVE

By Drew Hamel

Then, everything changed last March when the world as we knew it flipped upside down and we were forced to finish the school year remotely. Although I praised PFPS’s dedication and commitment to making remote learning as beneficial for us as possible, I could not help but feel sad for the class of 2020. Their senior year was cut short and they were forced to spend their last few months only seeing their classmates on a computer screen. After realizing that the pandemic would not be going away overnight, and seeing many public schools committing to remote learning for the fall, I was starting to feel very disappointed that our senior year at PFPS would be confined to computer screens. However, thanks to PFPS’s commitment to their students’ success and happiness, and with careful planning, PFPS was able to safely return to in-person learning for the 2020-2021 school year. Being able to attend school in-person has allowed me to organize and participate in many faith-based events at school, such as becoming a member of the Christian Leadership Team. I particularly enjoy running our underclassmen retreats, which would never be possible if we were not in-person. Looking ahead to the end of senior year, I look forward to spending every school day with my classmates and all experiencing graduation, together as a class. I could not be more thankful to Dr. Harrington, and all of the faculty and staff for making in-person learning possible for us.

SHEILA SLAWIAK Sheila Slawiak joined our team as a technology teacher offering classes in both media arts and computer science. As a 2010 graduate from Westfield University with her MEd in Instructional Technology & Science, she brings over 16 years of teaching experience to PFPS. Sheila also received a Master of Science degree from RPI in Communications. She has significant experience working in the field of product development, technical writing, and other facets of high-tech manufacturing. Sheila’s passion is focusing on how technology can enhance the way people work in business and helping students dream about and discover what the future holds for people eager to enter these fields. Her most recent accomplishment was being a semifinalist for the state Teacher of the Year where she was recognized for her teaching excellence and how she utilized educational technologies in her classroom.

Sheila loves working at Pope Francis because the teachers are innovative and open to new ideas and the students are eager to learn new technologies that enhance their knowledge. She is very happy to be able to contribute to a learning community she finds joyful and collegial.

Sheila and her husband, Tom have traveled throughout the world, and when they are home, play sports such as golf, tennis, skiing, and equestrian riding. Until recently, they owned thoroughbred horses who brought them much joy! Recently, they have welcomed a new addition to their home — an adorable Havanese mix puppy named Enzo.

BRANDON NOWAKOWSKI Brandon Nowakowski’s enthusiasm for math was clearly shown from the start when he was tasked to implement PFPS’s new Pre AP Algebra 1 curriculum, in addition to teaching geometry and AP Statistics.

Brandon had a double major in math and music as an undergrad at UMASS and received a master’s degree in music from the University of Hartford.

Along with his expertise in math, Brandon is also a classically trained saxophonist who plays with various groups in the area, giving concerts and other performances. Brandon is enjoying teaching at Pope because of the enthusiasm of his students and the supportive atmosphere. His commitment to math instruction goes beyond the walls of PFPS as he is the owner of the Better Learning Center, LLC in West Hartford, CT which provides tutoring services to students wishing to further their math studies and to prepare for challenging classes, AP exams and other standardized tests. Brandon also enjoys training for and running marathons. Currently, he is preparing for the New England Green River Marathon coming up next August.

CARDINALS LEAD THE WAY Demonstrating STEAM by Working Together

MRS. SLAWIAK’S COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASSES wowed her as they unveiled their unique physical computing projects during class presentations. Her dedicated students worked diligently and used their art talent combined with their techno prowess to integrate three different technologies, Makey-Makey invention kit, Evo Robot, and Scratch 3.0, to present their masterpiece.

Students created a scaled model of Pope Francis Preparatory School and then used their technology to tour their model and to present the school’s academic attributes. Their strategy of determining roles was based upon each students’ passion, interest, and unique skill, giving each a chance to lead!

Building the scale model was led by Mikayla Messier, who used her AP Art skills, combined with her math skills to build a cross section of all three floors.

She also designed each interior by hand, making all the subject-specific furnishings for each classroom. She was supported

by Drew Hamel, who displayed his

leadership skills by organizing the team and coordinated key pieces of information that would allow them to work in unison.

He made the interior appointments of the theatre, dining commons, and gym.

Joe Morando built a working counterweight balance elevator with the assistance of a fellow engineering student and Mr. Salloum. Learning remotely were two students, Michael Langone and Brendan Rivest, who wrote the Scratch 3.0 code, demonstrating text-to-speech capabilities to present each classroom and common area of the model. Emma Corridan performed as the team’s integrator, who bridged the remote students’ programs to the model

by problem-solving any technology-related situation in order to make the model work.

Inspired by the Christmas season, Mrs. Slawiak’s computer science students created a scaled model of a Christmas Village and then integrated the same three technologies to present Christmas songs and poems.

Lucas Garcia, learning remotely, was the project manager who created a project plan, tested and built prototypes, and worked collaboratively with other teammates to solve problems so all three technologies worked to show a unified project.

Building the scale model was led by Ethan Lichwan who coordinated the team’s geometry skills to figure out how to design the models so his three teammates could build a balanced model. Ethan was supported by Jason Reiser who took on the challenge of programming the MakeyMakey to light the trees. The engineering artists who worked remotely were Isabella Cardinale who designed and built all the homes, and James Le and Owen Kenyon, who designed and built the trees. Colin O'Brien wrote the program for the poems to be presented in Scratch 3.0. He also designed a unique digital background of carolers within Scratch. Lucas Wiatrowski wrote the music for the holiday songs using the OzoBlockly program for the Evo robot.

He had to program each song using the highest level of programming!

SERVICE AND COMMUNITY

AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY, VOLUNTEERING, AND SERVICE are more important during a crisis than ever before. At Pope Francis Prep, social distancing does not mean social isolation.

This year, thinking outside the box has been key to finding ways for our students to continue to be part of the impactful Cardinal community. We can all be proud of the creative ways our community continues to make a difference.

VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION

During the first few weeks of November, we witnessed our school community embrace, celebrate, and put into action our pillars of service, faith, and community.

Our second annual Day of Service was spent flagging the gravesites of veterans at St. Michael’s Cemetery. With the sun shining on a beautiful morning, this service opportunity brought our entire community of students, teachers, and staff together to make a difference for others. Consistent with our mission to embody service to the community, our students respectfully placed thousands of American flags throughout the cemetery and cleaned gravesites in need of a

little extra attention. This demonstration of love and care for one another, in particular those who served our country, was a rewarding experience for each of us.

On Wednesday, November 11, all students spent part of the morning in school writing notes on postcards to veterans and participating in prayer services. The postcards have been shared with veterans at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home, many of whom had been in isolation because of the pandemic. It is our hope that these notes show our veterans how much they are appreciated and that they bring a smile to their face.

Although our health and safety protocols prevented us from gathering together for Mass in the theatre, we were blessed by the help and talents of Fr. Mark, Mr. Anziano, the Christian Leadership Team and Mr. Geoffrey. Looking incredibly sharp in liturgy attire, students "attended" Mass from their classrooms through a live-streamed broadcast. Remote learners also had the benefit of attending Mass in the same manner. We found a way to come together for Mass, however a key component was missing — Holy Communion. With the help of Fr. Stan and Fr. David, fifteen members of our Christian Leadership team were trained and commissioned as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. The commitment by these faith-filled students benefited the entire school community as we came together in December for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass. With our newly commissioned student leaders, we were able to distribute Holy Communion to each classroom.

Letter from the Director of Development Dear Alumni, Family, and Friends, It is an honor and a privilege to serve the Pope Francis Prep community daily. I get to be part of an amazing team of people who continue to pass on the traditions and values set forth by our legacy schools. As an alumnus, I am able to witness firsthand the exceptional impact this school year has had on our young women and men.

This year, we have seen major growth in annual giving in support of the Cardinal Fund. Our community stepped up in March for our first ever Day of Giving, shattering our goal of 250 gifts and $25,000 in 24-hours. In all we raised over $55,000 from more than 380 donors. This campaign reconnected us with friends and alumni from 28 states and instantly created a culture of generosity.

I would like to thank parents, alumni, faculty, staff, coaches, grandparents, friends, and board members for your unprecedented generosity and support for our school. The future remains bright at Pope Francis Prep and your support has a lasting impact on the lives of our students and lays the foundation for future Cardinals.

As we enter the fourth and final quarter of the fiscal year, I ask those who have not had the opportunity, to consider making a gift to the Cardinal Fund before June 30, 2021. Thank you for supporting our mission and the young women and men of Pope Francis Prep today, tomorrow, and in the future.

With gratitude,

Daniel Fenton CHS ’09 Director of Development

Ernest J. Gelinas Jr. ’57

THE ERNEST J. GELINAS JR. ’57 SCHOLARSHIP was established in March 2021 by Judith A. Gelinas ’57 in memory of her husband, Ernest J. Gelinas Jr. with an initial gift of $10,000. The intent of the fund is to provide a scholarship for two students each academic year who demonstrate financial need.

Judy and Ernie met in the fourth grade at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart grammar school and graduated together from Cathedral High School in 1957. Upon graduation, Ernie enrolled at Western New England College to pursue his degree. On June 4, 1960, Judy and Ernie were married at St. Cecilia’s Church in Wilbraham, MA. While raising a family, attending classes, and working full time, Ernie managed to graduate in 1963 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

After several years in business, Ernie pursued a career in education. He earned his second degree from Westfield State with a degree in Education. His first job as an educator was with the Connecticut State Prison system, where he taught Basic Adult Education and GED Prep. During his time with the state of Connecticut, he organized the teacher’s union for the Connecticut State Employees Association and became their first President. After working for 12 years in the Connecticut State prison system, Ernie transferred to the Connecticut State Vocational and Technical school system.

He became an administrator at Grasso Technical and Wright Technical Schools.

He completed his career as the Director of Ellis Technical school, retiring in 1997.

Judy and Ernie Gelinas — 50th Wedding Anniversary

Judy and Ernie have five children and raised them in the Catholic church, specifically St. Michael's Parish in East Longmeadow, MA. Ernie was a fourth-degree member of the Knights of Columbus and was part of the first group of Eucharistic Ministers for the Diocese of Springfield.

The establishment of the Ernest J. Gelinas Jr. ’57 Scholarship was a special way for Judy to honor the memory of

her husband. Ernie would be extremely happy to know that a scholarship in his name will provide an opportunity for students to attend and pursue their education at Pope Francis Prep. More importantly, he continues to be able to help instill Catholic values through education. Judy believes Ernie would tell the Pope Francis Prep students “To work hard, pursue your dreams, and place your trust in God.”

John F. Johnson ’57

THE JOHN F. JOHNSON ’57 SCHOLARSHIP was established in January 2021 by Marguerite (Peg) C. Johnson ’57 in memory of her husband John F. Johnson with an initial gift of $5,000. The intent of this fund is to provide tuition assistance for five students each academic year who demonstrate financial need. Additionally, The John F. Johnson ’57 Endowment for Tuition Assistance was established with an initial gift of $10,000. This restricted endowment fund will also provide tuition assistance for students who demonstrate financial need.

John F. Johnson graduated from Our Lady of the Holy Rosary High School, which later became Holyoke Catholic High School, in 1957. During his time as a student-athlete, John was a member of the football and baseball teams. John played varsity football for four years as the middle linebacker and on the offensive line.

He earned All-Western Mass honorable mention as a linebacker. After graduation, John played five years of semi-pro football for the Holyoke Merchants/Knights, highlighted by winning the Massachusetts State Championship.

After his semi-professional football career, John joined the Army National Guard in 1961 and was honorably discharged in 1967. After his time in the military, John followed in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and became a master stone mason and bricklayer.

John began his career as a stone mason for O’Connell and Sons before starting his own business, Johnson and Sons Mason Contractors. During this time,

John had the opportunity to build the business while working alongside his two sons. John completed his professional career as the construction manager for O’Connell Oil/Convenience Plus.

John’s workmanship can be recognized throughout areas of South Hadley, MA, University of Massachusetts, Mercy Hospital, and Baystate Medical Center.

In 2010, John was inducted into the Holyoke Catholic Sports Hall of Fame for Baseball and Football. John and his wife Peg were blessed by 58 years of marriage.

The establishment of the John F. Johnson

’57 Scholarship is a special way for Peg to honor the memory of her husband.

Their belief in the importance of Catholic education, no matter the name, influenced Peg’s decision to give back.

John, affectionately known as Johnny, was a kind, loving, and giving friend.

With his infectious smile, great hugs, and willingness to help anyone in need, Johnny would be happy to know that a scholarship in his name will provide an opportunity for students to attend and pursue their education at Pope Francis Prep.
