PRINCIPAL’SMessage "Thanks to the strong support of our donors and benefactors, SJND provided nearly $1.9 million in tuition assistance..."

Thanks to the remarkable and consistent benevolence of supporters, SJND has been able to offer new academic courses in 2017-2018 in AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, and AP Computer Science Principles. Furthermore, our faculty has all been trained in a new professional development program and learning observation tool, and they each received new MacBook Air laptops, enhancing technology in the classrooms.

Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends, As the Principal of Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School, now in my second year in the role, I have a much better understanding and appreciation of why so many alumni love their alma mater and so generously support this school. SJND has been a “second family” for generations of men and women who entered its doors as wide-eyed freshmen and graduated as “confident, open-minded, and effective leaders ready to live joyful lives of faith, scholarship, and service.” Jesus in the Gospels reminds us of the universal theme of generosity: “to whom much has been given, much is expected.” The generosity of all the benefactors listed in these pages represents that desire to “give back” to the next generation of young scholars who will be our future leaders.

Thanks to the strong support of our donors and benefactors, SJND provided nearly $1.9 million in tuition assistance, which allowed students and families who could not have otherwise afforded our tuition, a Catholic education at SJND. I cannot thank you enough for this most precious gift of Catholic education.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our alumni and friends, SJND welcomed 25 new students from St. Elizabeth High School in Oakland which sadly closed its doors in June. I am happy to report to you that these “new Pilots” are performing well in the classroom and fully integrating into athletic and extracurricular activities of our school.

4 Saint Joseph Notre Dame

Your generosity has enabled SJND to continue its growth trajectory as we work on year one of our new SJND Strategic Plan 2017-2020 which addresses four fundamental goals of our school: Catholic Identity and Mission, Academics, Admissions, and Advancement.

The new leadership team has begun work in all four goal areas, and we are making tremendous progress.

For example, in the goal area of Admissions, SJND is working very hard to “tell our great story” and it has been successful. SJND currently has an enrollment of 443 students with rising class enrollment in our freshmen and sophomore classes. A new retention team has directed its efforts to increase our retention of current students to an amazing 98 percent retention rate. Academic outcomes are proven in our highly successful college list for the graduating Class of 2017 which includes graduates attending some of the most prestigious colleges in the country including Harvard, Dartmouth, all of the UC schools, and some of the most selective Catholic universities.

On behalf of our faculty and staff, I thank you for your generosity and continued support of our mission as we prepare the next generation of Pilots to voyage to great heights.

Go Pilots!

Sincerely,

Kenneth Jennings Principal

Interning and Making a Difference at My Alma Mater

By Toni Gadar ’15 The past summer, SJND’s Advancement Department offered an internship opportunity for a young alumnus to assist in supporting SJND’s mission through PR and marketing, event planning, and fundraising work. The team was thrilled to have Toni Gadar ’15, SJND alum and current student at the University of Puget Sound, join them for the summer. In this piece, Toni reflects on her summer interning at SJND. "When most people think about returning to their high school, they cringe. For me, when I saw an email for a chance to volunteer at mine, I jumped at the opportunity. Working at SJND and giving back to a campus that has given me so much definitely made my summer. I admit, it was pretty strange seeing my former teachers outside of a classroom setting and eating lunch in the faculty break room, but nonetheless, it all felt very familiar.

Any chance I get, I return to SJND – participating in the Back-From-College panel held in January, stopping by to hang out with my school mom, Mrs. Park, and now interning. This summer, I assisted the Advancement team with a variety of things: helping plan the Class of 1967 Golden Reunion, entering data, helping update SJND’s social media, doing research for the Dream Flight fundraiser, interviewing Chris Livingston ’11, Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s scheduler, for an upcoming Pilot Profile, and numerous other tasks. These projects not only kept me busy, but also provided me skills for the real world.

While working at SJND, I also had a summer internship at the Port of Oakland, as part of the Emergency Operations team. At the Port, I was asked to do research on disaster service worker training and emergency kits. Using the skills I acquired from SJND, both as a student and an intern, I was able to apply those skills in a professional setting.

Following my summer internships, I returned to University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., where I study political science and history. With all the papers and other assignments I’ll be writing this year, I will continue to apply the research skills that I gained over the summer, both in a college setting and as I begin my career."

Soars at Commencement

O

n May 27, SJND celebrated its 135th Commencement and conferred diplomas to 92 graduates, sent out to lead joyful lives of faith, scholarship and service. Celebrating their spirit, academic excellence, and community contributions, the graduation ceremonies included distinguished guests who shared their words of wisdom.

Salutatorian Rebecca Rochlin '17, attending UC Berkeley in the fall, provided fellow graduates with shared memories and aspirations for the future at the Baccalaureate liturgy.

At commencement, Betsy Norris, retired and beloved teacher at SJND for 34 years, spurred the graduates to activism with a resounding “¡con ganas se puede!” Following, Class of 2017 Valedictorian Emily Stehr ’17, who will attend Dartmouth College, also addressed her classmates. Stehr’s remarks were inspired by the class’ 6 Saint Joseph Notre Dame

mascot: the wolf, a fitting symbol for the students it represented. She explained that her class' collective experience taught them how to “feed the good wolf within… the wolf of purpose, compassion, and love.” Stehr encouraged her class to be scholars and lifelong learners, to honor new challenging perspectives, and to solve obstacles through knowledge and compassion. Finally, she reminded the class of their duty to one another, and to service.

Congratulations to the Class of 2017, SJND’s newest alums!

Our community looks forward to hearing about your college experiences and can’t wait to see you back on campus at Homecoming Games, Back from College Day, Alumni Career Day and even as commencement speakers.

“In the coming weeks, months, and years after we step off campus as graduates of SJND, we must pay our incredible privilege forward by ensuring that others may be impassioned with the same capacity to dream that we hold today. We must take our gifts and use them to fight for truth, justice, and personhood for those who cannot fight the battle on their own. Every day should feel like the hectic few weeks in which all of our Justice and Peace service projects were going on at once - a joyful frenzy of altruism that allows the impact of SJND to radiate far beyond Chestnut Street, farther than any of us could have imagined.”

- Emily Stehr ‘17

Campus Happenings

Students Study, Explore and Volunteer in Thailand Over the 2017 Easter break, a group of SJND students traveled to Thailand to study, explore and volunteer.

SJND provides opportunities to do immersion experiences and field studies in a foreign country each year, alternating between the science and social studies departments. Science Department Chair Mrs. Taylor led this year’s trip with chaperones Mrs. Stein and Dr. Bailon. Some highlights include: celebrating Songkran, the Thai New Year's festival, with the Thai people; visiting two Catholic orphanages including The Camillian House, an orphanage and school for children with disabilities; and visiting the Mae Taeng Valley and Elephant Nature Park, where the team got to feed sugar cane to the elephants and put mud on them to help them keep cool.

STEAM Club Returns to Bay Area Maker Faire SJND's STEAM Club returned this year to the Bay Area Maker Faire in San Mateo. The club presented their project - two original pinball machines - to hundreds of fellow inventors who tested and played them at the Faire. With the support of Michael Schiess from the Pacific Pinball Museum, students added scoring as a new pinball wiring skill, and created an entirely new pinball game called "Flipball," a two-person game, like air hockey, but with pinball flippers. It was a real hit!

Students Shine in Spring Musical “The Wiz” | ’17 Seniors Named Finalists in Musical Theater Competition Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School presented The Wiz at downtown Oakland’s Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts from March 30 to April 2, 2017. The SJND community, including families and alumni, turned out to enjoy this timeless tale of Dorothy's adventures through the Land of Oz in a modern musical. 2017 graduates Toron Herring, Lea Akima and Stephanie Sanchez were named finalists in the Rita Moreno California High School Musical Honors for their roles. This awards competition recognizes outstanding achievement in high school musical theater north of Santa Barbara, CA.

Pilots Give Back This fall, Pilots united to serve others struck by disaster in Texas and Northern California.

SJND raised over $2,200 to support relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey in Texas, as well as the NorCal wildfires in SJND’s own backyard. With one day’s notice, students also coordinated a successful donations drive for the wildfire evacuation centers, collecting hundreds of essentials for those in need. In addition, Red Cross Club partnered with the American Red Cross to host a successful blood drive benefitting local hospitals.

Thank you SJND alumni for supporting our students on Opening Night of The Wiz on March 30!

Mary Carmen Reid ’17 Wins National Award with Hillary Clinton

English Department Chair, Robin Lynn Rodriguez, wrote and produced a play that ran as a part of a Festival of New Works by SF Playground this past spring. "HEDGE" is regarded as a warm but funny look at gentrification in Oakland, and was listed as a "Top Pick" in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Sanjana Ravi ’18 Named Kindness Reporter for Lady Gaga’s Born this Way Foundation Sanjana Ravi ’18, current president of SJND’s Random Acts of Kindness Club, was selected as a Channel Kindness reporter with the Born This Way Foundation. An exciting new non-profit founded

As a Kindness Reporter, Sanjana will peer-edit other reporters’ articles as well as writing her own. Keep sharing the kindness and positivity, Sanjana!

Mary Carmen, just right of Hillary Clinton

Mary Carmen Reid ’17 was recently awarded a national award and $20,000 scholarship through the Girls Inc. National Scholarship program. In addition to being selected, she was invited to speak at the 2017 Girls Inc. New York Celebration Luncheon, featuring principal honoree Hillary Clinton.

Secretary Clinton delivered the keynote speech during the luncheon at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel and accepted an award for her advocacy on behalf of girls and women. Over 1,000 supporters celebrated the National Scholars, and raised funds to support programming and opportunities for girls in the United States and Canada. “It was a wonderful experience, being in the city and meeting so many amazing women,” said Reid.

Faculty Focus:

An Interview with Kristina Taylor How long have you worked at SJND and how did you start?

I started fresh out of college at 22 for the 2002-2003 school year. When I was hired here at SJND my plan was to teach for just a year and then go to medical school. However, I fell in love with teaching and here I am starting my 16th year at SJND. I specifically remember my first two weeks of teaching, in between the tears of “am I doing this right,” was the realization that “wow, our students are amazing.”

I wanted to be a part of their lives and hopefully inspire them through my lessons.

"Science, for me, is an amazing way to explain the world ...I still reflect on how it has affected our world and how I can present it to our students to help them form opinions of their own."

What inspired your love of science and teaching?

I have always been passionate about science; I gave a preschool report on how I was going to be a nurse or doctor. My parents have always supported me in pursuing this passion, even as they had to deal with poor/okay/good science experiments (and maybe one or two of them ended up in a doctor’s visit). Science, for me, is an amazing way to explain the world. Every night I still reflect on science and how it has affected our world and how I can present it to our students to help them form opinions of their own.

What’s a great bit of advice a mentor has given you?

I was blessed to start teaching under the guidance of the then science department chair Kate Dean. Kate, who currently teaches in Oregon and is a National Teacher of the Year, is an awe inspiring teacher and took me under her wing. Coming in as a novice and having such a knowledgeable and passionate teacher as my guide was invaluable and I would not be the teacher I am today without her. Every year, I start the year with a reflection on being the teacher Kate inspired me to be. Now as the STEM program chair, I only hope I am helping teachers and inspiring them too.

What might someone be surprised to know about you?

I have cancer. I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma over 10 years ago. After numerous surgeries and nearly a year of treatments, I was declared NED (no evidence of disease) in 2008. I lived in that world of NED for many years, during which I continued to live and love my life, and cancer became something that I barely ever thought of. That all changed towards the end of the school year in 2016 when I found a lump, that after testing, proved that the cancer was back. When I was initially diagnosed the first time, SJND rallied around me and filled me with love and support. I was able to take nearly a year off as I focused on my treatments. When I recently had this setback, my husband and I were devastated. Yet, once again, SJND rallied behind me. I received so many letters of support from former students, parents, and current students. In addition, the faculty and staff donated days off, brought over meals, and provided a plethora of support, love, and care. In addition, last year the Penny Wars raised over $1,400 for melanoma research. I am happy to report that I have recently stopped my current cancer treatments and hope to be declared NED in the next few weeks.

If you weren’t teaching science, what would you be doing instead?

If I had left SJND after a year, as I originally planned, I would be a medical doctor working in the geriatrics or family medicine field. However, if I was not teaching science today, I would be pursuing a job in the biotech or pharma industry, or even finding myself going to med school and working in oncology.

What makes SJND unique?

I believe it’s SJND’s community that makes it truly unique.

We have amazing and caring faculty and staff that truly care for our students. In addition, many of the students look out for others and make sure all students are included.

Faculty and Staff Anniversaries

SJND is happy to welcome new faculty and staff to our family and thank the existing members of our community for their years of dedicated service.

This year, we celebrate many anniversaries of our committed faculty and staff, each of whom make SJND a wonderful place to work, lead and serve.

Where’s your favorite place to vacation and why?

I love Hawaii, it’s not a long flight and then I can be snorkeling that day. I love scuba diving and snorkeling, as it opens up a world that is hardly seen. Kauai especially is an island where my husband Jay and I can relax and enjoy the sea life every day. In fact, we enjoyed our honeymoon there. However, I am also always up for an adventure! On odd years, I have led trips with students for SJND in locations such as Costa Rica, Ecuador and the Galapagos, Peru (including Machu Picchu and and the Amazon), and Thailand. I have also taken two long road trips with friends and/or family that covered most of the Western and Midwest United States and Canada.

I also spent a summer in China after graduating college where we studied traditional vs. modern medicine, and it was an amazing experience.

Mr. Curry Retires

Dan Curry served SJND for seventeen faithful years before retiring last spring, holding positions including Athletic Director, Associate Athletic Director, and health and physical education teacher. His passion for Pilots athletics and working with students will be greatly missed. He left his colleagues with the quote "Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again.” Enjoy retirement, Mr. Curry!

S U M M E R S E R V I C E P R O J E C T:

Students Serve and Make New Friends in Chiloquin, Oregon

This past July, 21 SJND students accompanied by Mrs. Berrios, Mr. Chaffey and Mrs. Stein, joined 45 other students in Oregon to participate in the Sierra Service Project. During the fullweek experience, the students served the community of Chiloquin, Oregon (population: 734; per capita income: $9,604) while exploring their relationship with God. Students were split into six different work sites around Chiloquin to work on home projects including siding, painting, and building decks, awnings, wheelchair ramps and roofs.

the following account of the trip:

Examples of specific work included students Payton Dean ’19, Rosie Saxton ’19 and Leo Miranda ’20, who helped a woman named Sharon build an awning on her deck. Sharon has been living in Chiloquin for 12 years with a chronic medical condition that leaves her in and out of the hospital. She felt very blessed to have students there to help her and said, "it is very inspiring to see these young adults step up and work together to help this community."

One of my favorite moments from the week revolved around our homeowner, Monte. We were working mostly on sealing, trim, and paint for 84-year-old Monte’s house, who has lived alone in Chiloquin for the past thirteen years.

Without the valuable work we did, his home would be exposed to the harsh winter weather again, leading to a continued difficulty in staying warm and exponential decay of the structural integrity of the house. Monte was a funny guy, a little rough around the edges, but with a heart full of love.

Mrs. Berrios, SJND theology teacher and associate campus minister, shared 12 Saint Joseph Notre Dame

“The 21 SJND students immediately blended with the three other youth groups and watching their friendships blossom and deepen throughout the week was a true gift. None of the students had access to technology throughout the week, and surprisingly no one seemed to miss it at all! There was a freedom we were given by being disconnected from the internet – we were free to shake off the masks we tend to wear in our day to day lives and just be ourselves.

Throughout the week, he spent more and more time with us outside every day, walking with us as we worked and telling us stories. The kids fell apart in hilarity at times because sometimes he said the darnedest things. On our final day, as we were getting closer to finishing, the feelings were bittersweet.

Monte was sad and said he didn't know what he would do with himself without us around all the time. At the same time, he beamed with pride over his home.

It looked brand new, and he never expected it to look so good. We had lots of hugs and he gave us his address so that we can send him some more pictures from our week.”

Service learning projects and trips are designed to develop students' sense of social and personal responsibility, increase their understanding of the conditions that warrant service, and challenge them to recognize their potential as agents of social change. By the students immersing themselves into a full week of service, they were truly able to walk away understanding that they can make a positive impact on the world.

“I was a little nervous about the trip at first, but it really pushed me out of my comfort zone” explained Saxton. “I learned a lot about working with others and giving.”

Emily Perez ’19 Wins 4th of July 5K and T-Shirt Design Contest

Kids Flock to SJND for Summer Discovery 2017!

SJND’s Summer Discovery program was a success yet again, as hundreds of children flocked to SJND’s campus to participate in sports, cooking, art and other enrichment classes during summer 2017. Over 500 students came from all over the Bay Area to attend, enjoying a variety of activities including baking desserts, engineering kites, testing their hand at photography, and much more.

“We had a lot of great new classes this year,” explained Summer Discovery director Kathryn Hill.

“The program allows kids to genuinely have fun while learning.”

Summer Discovery also gives our SJND students an opportunity to develop leadership skills as student leaders who work alongside the teachers and add to our vibrant and energetic summer community. The program seeks out teachers interested in teaching new, unique children’s courses. If interested, please email Kathryn Hill at khill@sjnd.org.

“I wouldn’t want to spend my summer any other way,” said Hill.

“We had a blast!”

SJND cross country runner and artist Emily Perez '19 won both this year's Alameda Mayor's 4th of July R.A.C.E. (Ralph Appazatto Charity Event) t-shirt design contest, in which her design was chosen from several others to adorn this year’s race shirts, as well as the 4th of July 5K race!

SJND students have designed shirts for the 4th of July event, which raises money for the Alameda Women's Shelter, for the past five years.

Both an artist and an athlete, Perez was the first woman overall to cross the finish line in the 4th of July 5K race, and also took first in her age division.

A member of SJND’s Women’s Varsity Cross Country team, Perez used the race to test her running time.

“My coach, Tony Fong, told me to treat it as a time trial to see how much I have improved from summer training. When I am in season, my cross country races are more intense and I have more competition to help push me and help me to run at my best,” she explained.

Perez plans to run in the 4th of July 5K next year and hopes to win again for her senior year. SJND will be cheering you on!

Cooper Teare ’17 Wins Double National Titles and Represents Team USA in Peru SJND’s standout runner and University of Oregon-commit Cooper Teare ’17 represented team USA at the Pan Am Junior Championships in Peru this past July following double national titles just months prior, further sealing his name as one of the country’s most elite runners.

Teare first won the New Balance Indoor National one-mile men’s competition on March 12 in New York with a time of 4:06.60. Only one week after winning the National Indoor Mile, Cooper traveled to the Texas Distance Festival in Southlake, Texas and won the Outdoor 5K in a flying time of 14:13, which became the fastest high school boys 5K since 2013 and the No. 4 time in California history.

On June 24 at the USATF Track Championships, the SJND graduate and University of Oregon signee qualified for the Pan Am Junior Championships in Trujillo, Peru. The top two finishers earned a spot on team USA; Cooper's blazing second-place finish of 3:47 in the 1500 meter race (with the last 800m in 1:57!) secured his place.

Swimming The 2016-2017 SJND Swimming season was a success with many new swimmers joining the team. Freshmen Carly Powers placed second in both her 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle events at the BAC Championships, making her the highest scorer on the Women's Team.

The Pan American Junior Championships in Peru on July 21-23 hosted athletes from over 40 countries, including Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and others across Central and South America. Cooper won his first heat at the games and moved on to the next round. In the finals, he clinched third place overall (American Eric Van Der Els took first, Canada's Kyle Madden took second), flying through the finish line in 3:46.46 and earning him another nation-leading time in the 1500m.

These games completed Teare’s remarkable season, in which he led the nation in three separate events, including the 3200m and 5K. He was also one of three others to run 4:00-flat in the mile and among five who ran 4:02 or faster on the season. We look forward to following his successes in Oregon this year!

Students and Staff Reflect on Their Experience in the Nation’s Capital

By SJND Social Studies Department

16 Saint Joseph Notre Dame

“Every stop was a learning experience, whether it was a tour, a meeting, or a monument. Even the bus rides between stops were lessons and analysis of what we were doing and why it mattered.”

— TONI ANDERSON ’18

F

or most students, May 28, 2017 meant that summer had arrived. It was finally the day to turn the alarm off, binge watch all the shows that had been put off from the spring, and settle in for a relaxing summer break.

However, for a group of 15 rising seniors, it meant an early wake-up call at SFO followed by a cross-country flight to Washington, D.C. Along with teachers from the Social Studies Department of Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School, these students spent their first week of summer engaging in the democratic process and ultimately developing into more engaged citizens of our American political system.

Through partnership with the Close Up Foundation, students and teachers alike were given the opportunity to achieve this as a result of the program’s methodology, which focuses on experiential education, cooperative learning, issue-centered discussions, and democratic empowerment.

Pilots in Politics SJND alum Christopher Livingston '11 currently serves as Representative Barbara Lee's scheduler in Washington, D.C. Livingston attended Howard University and previously served as an intern for both Representative Lee and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

These methods for experiencing our Nation’s Capital played out in many ways. During the first day – and many students’ first time experiencing a humid D.C. summer day – SJND participants stood at the foot of the Jefferson, F.D.R., and M.L.K. Memorials with students from around the country to listen, debate, and reflect on the extent to which government involvement in the lives of Americans has changed over time. Toni Anderson ’18 reflected on the engaging weeklong experience, saying, “Every stop was a learning experience, whether it was a tour, a meeting, or a monument. Even the bus rides between stops were lessons and analysis of what we were doing and why it mattered.”

To enrich the theme of service that had been set for the week, given the observance of Memorial Day, students engaged in discussions about sacrifice and courage while reflecting upon the names that line the walls of the Korean, WWII, and Vietnam Memorials. Combined with a solemn visit to Arlington National Cemetery, student experiences led to their understanding of how fragile democracy is and the enormous sacrifices that have been made in order for it to continue to flourish.

Experiencing these visits and discussion in small groups with students from various parts of the nation is of particular importance to the overall mission of the Close Up Program. Alma Becerra ’18 notes that being able to have issue-centered discussions in diverse student groups throughout the week helped broaden her global view.

SJND students search for important quotes on the walls of the Jefferson Memorial as part of a series of Case Studies that focus on applying the ideologies of the Founding Fathers to modern views of the role of government in American society.

“It was truly eye opening to hear others voice their opinions and to have the opportunity to debate with them on the issues. What I came to learn about the ideologies of these students from different regions, made me recognize certain biases and assumptions of my own - ones I had never identified or considered prior to the trip.” Becerra adds that these discussions helped her realize how important it is to continue to develop certain skills in order to actively participate as an educated citizen, such as being able to, “Understand both sides of an argument and how critical it is to be able to defend and articulate your own opinions confidently.”

Perhaps the highlight of the week was Wednesday, better known as ‘Capitol Hill Day’ to Close Up participants. Dressed to impress, the students and teachers from SJND headed to Capitol Hill to meet with Congressional and Senate Representatives. If there was any doubt about the perseverance of an SJND student, walking across Washington D.C. to the Capitol during the first week of summer as a result of their Metro train breaking down will put any doubts to rest.

(Top) Students pose for a photo outside of the Capitol Building.

(Bottom) A few students walk through the F.D.R. Memorial and experience the story of his presidency by examining artistic renderings of influential events that occurred throughout his time in office.

The preparation actually began the night before, where program participants took part in a Mock Congress at the hotel to mirror the workings of Congress. From developing and drafting a bill to openly supporting or refuting it in front of the entire student-body, students gained valuable experience through handson simulation of how legislation is created. Following the Mock Congress, SJND students and teachers met together to finish prepping for meetings with representatives the following day. Students were able to offer insight into areas of concern for them personally and formed questions that they looked forward to asking their representatives the following day.

Although Congress was in recess given the Memorial Day Holiday, SJND students and teachers met with staff from the offices of Senators Feinstein and Harris, and Representative Lee. In addition to posing their questions crafted the night before, students asked insightful inquiries about the path many of the staffers took to become involved in the political system and were able to have frank discussions about college, career choice and finding one’s passion. The group made the most of its Capitol Hill Day and were able to stroll through the Library of Congress, participate in a guided tour of the Capitol Rotunda, and were granted access to the House Galleries, no doubt making these legislative conversations come alive by seeing where these discussions take place.

Other highlights from the trip include an in-depth visit to the new National Museum of African American History and Culture, an experience at a local embassy, a night out to a local theater performance, and a visit to the Newseum – a unique museum that “Promotes, explains, and defends free expression and the five freedoms of the First Amendment,” according to their website.

(Right) Students pose for a picture outside of Representative Barbara Lee’s office following a meeting with some of her staff to discuss important issues and questions related to their home district. Students also had the opportunity to meet with staff from the office of Senator Feinstein and Senator Harris during Wednesday’s Capitol Hill Day.

In addition to experiencing some of its most famous exhibits, such as the 9/11 Gallery and the Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery, students participated in two on-site workshops with certified Newseum faculty to support responsible citizenship in today’s digital age: ‘Fighting Fake News’ and ‘Covering a Catastrophe: Responsible Journalism’. With new skills developed following the workshops, such as the ability to identify misinformation and authenticity through a variety of sources and the ability to evaluate the responsibility of journalism in the digital age, students became even more equipped to be active and engaged participants in our modern political system.

Upon their return home, numerous students reflected about the impact of the trip and the Close Up program.

“This new look at the U.S. government helped to inspire me to go into politics and help make a difference in the world,” says Anderson. “Without Close Up I would have never gained that insight or inspiration that is now guiding me down a new path that I love.”

Becerra also notes the impact the overall experience had on her. “Before the trip, I was curious and recognized the trip as an enriching opportunity. As it turned out, I was more than right, and I am so happy that I seized it. I feel empowered and inspired by the idea that our exchanges could inform each other and create change.”

Giving Poem

by Jonathan Yannantuono ’17 – Poet Laureate, May 12 What a wondrous world full of wondrous people with waterfalls of woefully wacky and wholly beautiful minds Where does one cultivate the blossoming ideas of our youth to become great enough to pierce the potential, above even the sky’s The heart Your guardians And what you learn What you earn And the maliciousness you spurn And the catalyst - your education Oh the wonderful things we can do Creating architectural anomalies Solving theoretical theorems Or even concocting disease curing serums Any outstanding testament to the great thunderous accomplishment of man, Was not done alone and it was not done without currency Because money still makes the world go round And I realize how distressing that may sound Especially from a literary optimist who shouldn't leave your hope drowned But money makes this world go round don't be mistaken Your generosity should not be mistaken for a woeful monstrosity It is the donations and dizzily large summations of your dedication that is the determinate factor In what makes our school go round With your helping hands and your promiscuous wallets we are given the chance to make our school a pillar of educative excellence And I can do nothing to make it up to you all Except a sincere thank you For contributing To my school To My education To my friends And to my future Thank you

Annual Report of Donors 2016-2017

2016-17 was a record year for fundraising at SJND. Our alumni and parent participation in the Fund for SJND increased this past year.

Additionally, we received two generous bequests from alumni who were a part of our Heritage Circle, a group of alumni and friends who include SJND in their estate plans.

Opportunities for students to grow in mind, body and spirit continue to flourish as a result of donations from alumni, parents and friends.

Examples include the addition of new courses this year in AP Computer Science, AP Chemistry and AP Psychology. We also added French to our languages program.

We highlight in this report George and Sue Marinos, parents who stepped up with SJND and donated new computers to our computer lab, as well as Barbara Gregory, the widow of Richard Gregory '51, who started an endowment fund in honor of her late husband. There are countless ways donors help SJND to thrive and we count on your support to continue our good work.

SJND welcomed 25 St. Elizabeth High School students to the Pilot community this year. With the support of our community, we are truly blessed to welcome these students as Pilots, to give them a school they can call home, and to support them in the completion of their Catholic high school education.

Our 2016-17 Annual Report of Donors lists our heroes, those who have walked this block of Chestnut street since 1881—alumni, parents and friends. The list represents those who have made possible the growth of our academic programs, plus tuition assistance for approximately 60 percent of our student body. Our current Pilots, the next generation of open minded and effective leaders, are encouraged and inspired by your support. Thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts. As our Poet Laureate Jonathan Yannantuono '17 says, "[we] can do nothing to make it up to you all except a sincere thank you."

that Continues to Give In 2016-17, Barbara Gregory established the Richard ’51 and Barbara Gregory Endowment Fund at SJND in support of tuition assistance.

Richard had worked with SJND’s Board of Directors during the merger of St. Joseph’s and Notre Dame High Schools, ensuring the continued success of the school as a co-educational institution. Upon his passing in 2008, Barbara discovered Richard had been giving generously to the school and she wanted to carry on his legacy. Barbara has remained involved with SJND as a friend and contributor ever since, attending many functions.

“Each time I’ve been increasingly impressed with the staff, students, parents and apostolic mission of the school. I felt it was important to uphold my husband’s tradition of contributing monetarily to the community of SJND. Richard and I want our legacy to live on in the education of these bright young students.”

The Richard ’51 and Barbara Gregory Endowment Fund will fund tuition for SJND students into perpetuity.

If you are interested in contributing to an existing endowment fund or leaving your own legacy at SJND by starting a named endowment fund, please contact Mollie McFarland, (510) 995-9456, mmcfarland@sjnd.org.

Fall 2017 Update 25

SJND Thanks George Marinos and Susan Retta This past summer, George Marinos and Susan Retta, parents of Giulia '14 and Jack '18 Marinos, generously donated new iMacs to the SJND Computer Lab. The donation serves as a tribute to Retta’s parents.

“My father was a tech guy for his time and both were incredibly supportive of education in any form. He (my father) and Jack were really close and this seemed like a fitting tribute to my parents and a way to both give back and to pay it forward,” Retta explained.

"Kids today have to be tech savvy in order to be competitive in the 21st century. This is applicable to any field: the sciences, the humanities, the arts and business."

With an increasing emphasis on technology skills, the Computer Lab improvements create exciting new opportunities for our students.

"The computer lab desperately needed to be upgraded— most of the equipment was at least eight years old and could not be upgraded any more, and some could not support new software at all," Retta said. "Kids today have to be tech savvy in order to be competitive in the 21st century. This is applicable to any field: the sciences, the humanities, the arts and business."

The donation has had a significant impact on Mr. Kallay’s

classes in particular, which include Introduction to Computer Science and Programming and the newlylaunched AP Computer Science class.

“The replacement of the slow and outdated machines with brand new equipment has made the students’ experience much more positive and productive,” Mr. Kallay explained.

“Now we are able to log in and learn without tripping over technical barriers. This opens a whole new array of applications for exploration.”

Overall, Marinos and Retta have high hopes for SJND's students and the school's expanding computer science program.

"We hope that the students will use these tools to build, to create, to grow their imaginations and to take off like all great pilots and explorers do, and we hope to help the school to grow a robust and competitive program for the future."

O

n August 8, SJND faculty and staff gathered for an offsite retreat at Holy Names College. At summer’s end and the school year’s beginning, there’s always lots of excitement about what the new school year will bring.

However, before the team jumped into planning mode, they took a moment to reflect on Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School’s past, as well as the deep Marianist and Notre Dame traditions and values our school was founded on.

New and seasoned faculty alike were treated to surprise guest speakers Sister Martin de Porres Coleman ’51, SND; Br. Robert Juenemann, SM; and Br. Joseph Aspell, SM. Our guests shared their personal experiences in the Brothers of Mary (Marianist) and Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur orders, and revealed the educational values imbued in both traditions, which remain the values of an SJND education today.

Brother Robert Juenemann, SM has been supporting SJND’s Advancement department for years, and as a member of SJND’s Principal’s Advisory Committee, is instrumental in keeping the alumni of St. Joseph’s High School, and the Marianist Brothers who taught here, connected with the school today. He spoke of his experience of a Marianist education.

32 Saint Joseph Notre Dame

Brother Joseph Aspell, SM is a sculptor who has been commissioned by churches of various denominations around the world. The Marianist Brothers and Priests look to the Blessed Virgin Mary as a model of faith and spirituality.

Br. Aspell shared a photo of his sculpture, “Seat of Wisdom”, which is located at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, and depicts Mary as an older woman, no longer the girl of Annunciation. Mary is seen as having lived through great challenges including her son’s crucifixion and having become a refugee forced to flee her own country. “Many see in the ‘Seat of Wisdom’ and in this older Mary, the humanity and wisdom that restores confidence, courage and trust in life through all of its challenges,” Br. Aspell explained.

"Marianist education never meant narrowing of perspective, but it did mean broadening it. Students develop their own answers to questions, and their own direction. A Marianist education encourages students to question and to have great curiosity."

When Sister Martin de Porres Coleman ’51, SND graduated from Notre Dame High School in Alameda, she knew one thing for certain – she wanted to teach music. She also admired the Sisters who had taught her and thought becoming a Sister might be a path she should try. Being only 17 years of age at graduation, her father encouraged her to go to college first before making a decision. She went to the College of Notre Dame for her freshman year and then entered the convent. Sister Martin de Porres continued her education and earned a Bachelors in Music, specializing in voice. She then went on to become a music teacher at several Catholic high schools in the Bay Area, including Notre Dame Academy, her alma mater.

Sr. Martin de Porres’ shared her beautiful singing voice with everyone as she concluded her presentation with an inspirational hymn.

Equally as powerful was her account of the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in France in 1804. She spoke of their rebellious spirit and their perseverance in serving others, despite many obstacles from the Bishop in France at the time, whom wanted to cloister the Sisters.

SJND Faculty felt an incredible sense of affirmation as they listened to Sister Martin de Porres’ recounting of all the hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur education, each of which rang true of the education SJND students receive today:

• Gift of diversity, educate to oppose discrimination; • Community service with a spiritual practice; • Proclaim by living actions more than by words that ‘God is Good’; • Educate for justice and peace; • Work for equity; • Honor the dignity and sacredness of each human being; • Devotion to holistic learning communities; • Community creation with everyone whom we work and serve.

The bi-coastal organization chose to honor writerdirector and SJND alumna Marielle Heller ’97, whose film “Diary of a Teenage Girl” ignited audiences at Sundance and Berlin, and whose upcoming film “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” stars Melissa McCarthy.

in Alameda with her husband and two daughters, and currently works as a nonfiction book editor for Ulysses Press.

Renee humorously recalls an SJND memory of being called into the Dean of Students’ (Mr. Gravem’s) office, when she and two friends cut school to ride roller coasters and lay out in the sun in Santa Cruz. “The next day in school, the three of us were called out of class to confess in the Dean's office. The lesson of the story: go to class, and save the beach for the weekend!”

Oakland A’s Equipment Manager Steve Vucinich ’70 Celebrates 50th Season with the Club Oakland A’s equipment manager Steve Vucinich '70 completed his 50th season with the A's this year. He got his start with the A's in 1968, while he was a sophomore at St. Joe's: “Joe DiMaggio was standing there when I said I’d like to work in the clubhouse,” Vucinich said of the Hall of Fame center fielder who was an A’s coach in the late ’60s. “Joe asked where I went to high school and I said, ‘St. Joe’s in Alameda.’ Joe said: ‘A Catholic. Hire him.’”

Renee Macalino '94 recently released The Hour of Daydreams, a contemporary reimagining of a Filipino folktale that explores trust, identity and how myths can take root from the seeds of our most difficult truths.

Born in Manila, Philippines, Macalino was raised in California from the age of four and graduated fourth in her class at SJND, going on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in English from UC Berkeley and Master of Fine Arts in English and creative writing from Mills College. She lives
