Queen Emma’s Legacy Queen Emma Kaleleonālani’s foresight and understanding that Hawaiian girls needed to have access to a high-quality education was the underlying base for the development of St. Andrew’s Priory School for Girls. Since the founding of The Priory 150 years ago, St. Andrew’s Schools has grown to include a Boy’s School (The Prep) and a Preschool (Queen Emma Preschool). Today, St. Andrew’s Schools honors Queen Emma’s legacy by teaching and perpetuating her values of Aloha, Pono, ‘Imi Na‘auao, Ho‘omanawanui, Mālama, and Lokomaika‘i, which are woven into our school traditions and educational curriculum.

Dear Friends, As we look back on the past year we are reminded that your commitment to St. Andrew’s Schools is both generous and inspirational. Your dedication allows us to provide the treasured gift of a quality education for our children. This year we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of our founding and we take great pride in honoring our past, celebrating our present, and aspiring toward our future. Since opening the St. Andrew’s Priory School for Girls in 1867, we have grown to include The Prep for boys and Queen Emma Preschool. By extending access to young boys we have expanded our reach and become the first and only coordinate school in Hawai‘i personalizing education for both boys and girls. Our single-gender K-12 educational model actively engages and educates students in a culture of care, love and service, fulfilling the timeless vision of our founder, Queen Emma. In this special

place, every child is known, challenged, understood, and empowered to strive for the highest, or Kūlia I Ka Nu‘u. By giving, you inspire and call us to strive for the highest each and every day. In this inaugural issue of Ke Ali‘i ‘Emalani, St. Andrew’s Schools Annual Giving Report, we celebrate your commitment and love for the school by sharing some of the storied history of some of our donors. Highlights include the legacy and leadership of Mr. John Jubinsky, our deep relationship with the Castle Foundation, and the long-standing scholarship support from the Gedge Family. Your gifts matter, and we are truly grateful for your support. Annual gifts are an opportunity for all alumnae and friends to have a powerful and immediate impact on the educational program we can provide. Annual funds are a key component to maintaining the quality of education that is a hallmark of

St. Andrew’s Schools. The funds that we raised during the 2016-2017 fiscal year are going toward student scholarships, financial aid, faculty professional development and campus master planning. Through your generosity we help children learn and grow, and be their personal best. Our commitment to growth allows us to provide forward-thinking, innovative, educational experiences that encourage children to discover their most expansive and courageous selves and inspires them to make someone else’s life better. It is clear to us: we cannot achieve our vision for St. Andrew’s Schools future without your generosity of spirit. Your contributions make St. Andrew’s Schools stronger every year and we are grateful for your partnership.

“This is the inaugural issue of “Ke Ali‘i ‘Emalani,” St. Andrew’s Schools Annual Giving Report, which is a testament to the historical 150th Anniversary year of celebrating the history and accomplishments of St. Andrew’s Schools.” Mahalo for your support!

A Lasting L egacy J

John“Jube”Jubinsky

ohn “Jube” Jubinsky was born in northeastern Pennsylvania, the youngest son of Michael and Anna, a coal miner and housewife. After obtaining a B.A. in mathematics from Colby College in Maine and his J.D. from University of Chicago Law School, he followed his best friend to Hawai‘i where, after a brief stint in the army, was admitted to the Hawai‘i Bar in 1959, the year of Hawai‘i’s statehood. From 1960 to 1990, John practiced law at Ashford & Wriston, where he rose to partner. He then became a sole practitioner and Senior General Counsel for Title Guaranty.

John’s lasting legacy will continue through the naming of Jubinsky Hall, where today’s St. Andrew’s Prep students learn and play.

14 ‘Emalani WINTER 2017

As the “Dean” of real estate law in Hawai‘i, John was widely respected by his colleagues for his mastery of legal principles, practical judgment, fairness and creativity in solving complex transactional problems. Many lawyers have openly marveled at John’s ability to cut through to the heart of an issue and cause differences of opinion to disappear. In 2009, Honolulu Magazine recognized John as “Lawyer of the Year,” and in 2014 included him on the “Best Lawyers in Hawai‘i List.” An avid golfer, wine lover, foodie, history buff, philanthropist, champion of education, and mentor to many, “Jube,” as his family and friends called him, relished the game of life, was admired for his intellect, and had a fierce love for and loyalty to his loved ones. John passed away on August 4, 2017, while surrounded by his family. He is survived by Teresita, his wife of 50 years, children Ruben and Melissa and spouses, and two grandchildren. In 2016, St. Andrew’s Schools honored John at the Queen Emma Ball, along with good friend Judy Pietsch, for his inspirational leadership, dedication, and service as an active member of the Board of Trustees for over 38 years. When asked what inspired him to contribute significant time and support to St. Andrew’s Schools for almost four decades, John said “I believe in education and I believe in giving back,” which was the hallmark of his immense and immeasurable impact on our school. John was on the Board of Trustees at St. Andrew’s Schools since 1979. During those years, John worked with seven heads of school and several diocese bishops. He saw the school mature, grow, and innovate over the years and was a leader in the school’s most significant milestones, including recruiting countless trustees, raising money to build the gym, purchasing land, and adding Queen Emma Preschool to St. Andrew’s Schools.

He also persuaded then Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia to visit juniors and seniors at The Priory to provide mentorship and guidance in their career paths and decisions. Most recently, he facilitated a decade long goal to finalize the purchase of the school’s entry road and secure a 50-year lease for the park at Queen Emma Square. John served as Chair of the Board of Trustees during the time that Father David Kennedy served as Head of School (1981 – 1995) at St. Andrew’s Priory. Father Kennedy shared,

“John was my ‘rock,’ sensible counselor, and dear friend. His death is a great loss to me personally, to everyone who knew him, and of course to the St. Andrew’s Schools.” Judy Pietsch said at John’s service, “Every trustee who served on the Board, knew that Jube was ‘all in.’ … Jube’s high standards, meant that his school had to be academically rigorous, but he also

loved the school’s small size, and caring personal attention. He witnessed these qualities when his daughter Melissa attended The Priory. In many ways, St. Andrew’s Schools fits his simple roots, his small town background and his experience as a scholarship student and scholar-athlete at Colby College.” John’s lasting legacy will continue through the naming of Jubinsky Hall, where today’s St. Andrew’s Prep students learn and play. In February 2014, John’s friends raised nearly $400,000 and surprised him with naming the building after him on his 80th birthday. This building honors John’s legacy of loyalty, leadership and vision as an exemplary trustee. John was also a long-time donor through his named fund, the “John Jubinsky Scholar Athlete Endowed Scholarship.” For over 17 years, the scholarship has supported several students each year; awarding their accomplishments for high academic performance and athletic pursuits. Most recently, three-year recipient Jordan Jones eloquently spoke at John’s memorial service and students dedicated a beautiful hula and mele to him.

Phoebe Furtado Gedge and George Donald Gedge Endowed Scholarship Fund 20-year Legacy of the Gift of Education

â€˜Emalani WINTER 2017

Over the past 20 years, The Phoebe Furtado Gedge and George Donald Gedge Endowed Scholarship Fund has provided over $490,000 in 95 scholarships to promising upper school scholar-athletes of Native Hawaiian ancestry. Through these scholarships, the Gedge ‘Ohana continues to transform the lives of St. Andrew’s students and their families for many years to come. This scholarship is very special to St. Andrew’s Schools, beginning with its founding on May 18, 1997, as The Phoebe Furtado Gedge Memorial Fund in memory of Priory alumna, Phoebe Furtado Gedge, Class of 1934. After Phoebe passed away

Phoebe Furtado Gedge was a graduate of St. Andrew’s Priory School for Girls, Class of 1934. Due to her parents’ recognition of the importance of a good education and Phoebe’s academic talents, Phoebe came to the Priory at the early age of 12 as a boarder from Lahaina, Maui. Phoebe excelled at St. Andrew’s Priory and skipped two grade levels upon entry! After graduation, Phoebe obtained her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and went onto graduate school to earn her Masters of Education at Columbia University. Her love of education and natural athletic ability led her to a career as a physical

parent and a grandparent, Phoebe always instilled the importance of strong values and education as goals to meet and accomplish in life. In a letter from Don Gedge, he said, “We wish for our student recipients to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them at The Priory, and that they will enjoy themselves along the way. … Phoebe was a great planner…. She was strongly self-disciplined, established goals and worked very diligently to achieve them. … If she was meeting with you today, she would say, ‘Know what you want to do, work hard to reach your goals, be reliable so that others know they can depend on you.’”

This scholarship is very special to St. Andrew’s Schools, beginning with its founding on May 18, 1997 as The Phoebe Furtado Gedge Memorial Fund in memory of Priory alumna, Phoebe Furtado Gedge, Class of 1934.

In January 2013, at the age of 97 years, George Donald “Don” Gedge passed away, and the Gedge daughters changed the name of the scholarship to what it is today - The Phoebe Furtado Gedge and George Donald Gedge Scholarship Fund - so that the legacy of both parents could be honored.

in early 1997, her husband George Donald Gedge, or “Don” as friends and family called him, and their three daughters, Jill M. Beaupre, G. Donna Gedge and Catherine K. Payne, created the memorial fund at St. Andrew’s Priory on the anniversary of Phoebe’s birthday.

2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of Phoebe Gedge, as well as the establishment of the fund. Since then, the scholarship has provided financial support to several students and their families for all high school years at the Priory, allowing them to graduate and continue to matriculate to four-year colleges, and enjoy professional careers.

Queen Emma and Her Friends Samuel N. and Mary Castle: A Lasting Philanthropic Partnership

By Al Castle, Executive Director, The Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation Historians of Hawai‘i’s complex past have recently begun to study the partnership of ali’i leaders and missionary or missionary-affiliated in partnering on creating lasting civic organizations and institutions. One such philanthropic alliance was that of the revered Queen Emma (1836-1885),

Born into old colonial New England families, Samuel N Castle (1808-1894) and his second wife Mary Tenney Castle (1819-1907) were closely associated with the ABCFM protest mission to Hawai‘i. Samuel served as the CFO of the Mission while Mary, an avid abolitionist, feminist,

Queen Emma was exposed to a demanding Western education at the Royal School and was also exposed to the Christian values of America’s Second Great Awakening. In her growing

friendship with the Castles and other missionary families, the inquisitive future Queen and philanthropic leader established an intellectual and moral foundation for her giving. As an ali’i who descended from Hawai‘i’s highest nobility as well as John Young, the English military advisor to King Kamehameha I, she fully embraced the responsibility of all ali’i to give back to the community that had given so much to them. Hawaiian philanthropy was essential for the 19th century as government expenditures were limited and tax rates low. Hawaiians had for centuries expected ali’i leaders to secure public welfare and solidify and support a stable society through generous gifts. In addition, ali’i women in the 19th century played a key role in making charitable decisions for their families while actively networking with women associated with the Mission as well as Western

businessmen. Often, informal decisions were made where the ali’i would be joined in their gifts with gifts from successful capitalists or families from the Mission. These informal arrangements were crucial as it was rare that even the highest ali’i could handle all the costs of civic building or humanitarian causes by themselves. Queen Emma, like the Princess Pauahi Bishop a few decades later, was proud of her Hawaiian language and culture. She was also proud of her American and English education and her mastery of Western literature, science, mathematics, history, and philosophy. The Queen was completely open to learning more

By the 1790’s and continuing well into the 19th century, both Castles had witnessed the rebirth of passionate revivalism and commitment to religiously inspired free will and social reform.

In her friendship with the Castles, Queen Emma would find common causes such as the continuing funding of the Queen’s Hospital, the funding of the St. Andrews Cathedral and The Priory, and a host of other civic associations and institutions.

Kumu Ku‘ulei was only one year old when she started to learn the hula from her Auntie Lei Pahukoa Lewandoski on Maui. As she grew, she studied under Elizabeth Pahukoa, Ruby Ahakuelo, Iolani Luahine ’35, also an alumna, Hoakalie Kamau‘u and Kent Ghirard. Ku‘ulei was a member of the Hula

Reflections “Aunty Ku‘ulei,” as she was known at the Priory, was Kumu Hula with Aunty Leina‘ala Kalama Heine in the early 1990s through 1999. She loved The Priory and devoted much of her time to the school. She extended her Halau to St. Andrew’s and taught hundreds of students there while traveling back and forth from Kaua‘i. Together with Kumu Hula Leina‘ala, they worked together to bring back hula to the school and resurrected the tradition of the May Day program. “Aunty Ku‘ulei loved doing the May Day program and she was committed to creating a May Day program that encompassed the Hawaiian tradition for Queen Emma,” said Faye Yamasaki, then 1st grade teacher and today’s school librarian. Tupu Savaiigaea ’98, who was in Aunty Ku‘ulei’s Halau from 7th -12th grade, said, “Both Aunty Ku‘ulei and Aunty ‘Ala were instrumental in my hula journey. I learned to dance strictly for the ‘love’ of hula under Aunty Ku‘ulei. Aunty ‘Ala prepared me for competition and gave me more insight on the ‘Olapa’ part of Halau. Both prepared me for my later years when I competed in Merrie Monarch and traveled to Japan to dance. “Much opportunity and growth was provided to me while at the Priory. At the end of my 8th grade year, there was a possibility that my parents would not be able to send me to the Priory. But just before the summer, Father Kennedy, who was the Headmaster at the time, called my parents and told them I was selected to be a Weinberg Scholar and to reenroll for next year! I later found out that it was Kumu Ku‘ulei who advised Father Kennedy that ‘Tupu isn’t someone Priory should lose.’ It turned into the biggest blessing to complete high school at the Priory.

“I am the luckiest man in the world, I was able to live the most important part of my life with my one and only love, Mary Ann Ku‘uleialoha Jesse Punua. From the day we met until the day she went to heaven, I was at her side. She can never be replaced. She is surely, one of a kind.”

– Victor Punua

“The Priory provided me the foundation to grow into the woman I am today. It paved the way to continue as a student-athlete in college and the confidence to be successful in a male dominated industry of Finance/Banking when I started my career. The soft-skills I learned at the Priory also gave me the mental toughness to live and thrive in San Francisco for 12 years before I decided to move back to Hawai‘i to be closer to family. Many life lessons along the way that I may not have been an option had it not been for Aunty Ku‘ulei. “My experience is a small snapshot of the kindness Aunty Ku‘ulei showed to others. Her unconditional love, her passion to serve, and her willingness to pass on her knowledge to the generations to follow - helped shape me into the woman I am today. And I am so thankful.”

My great grandparents led very humble lives in the late 1800’s, and their children’s education was of the upmost importance to them. Being of very humble birth in the late 1800’s, their children’s education was of the upmost importance to them. They sacrificed much and worked hard to put all six of their children through private schools. Two of their daughters graduated from St. Andrew’s Priory School for Girls. Three of their granddaughters also graduated from The Priory; one returned to teach there. I am blessed to be a Priory graduate (Class of ’66) and of their third generation of descendants. Presently, their fifth generation descendant is enrolled at The Priory. She’s their great, great, great granddaughter. My great grandparents chose St. Andrew’s Priory School because of its high educational standards, and establishing this scholarship fund is a way to not only honor my family, but to assist girls of Native Hawaiian ancestry to maximize their potential and life goals.

She worked as a Senior Administrative Specialist Marketing & Business Support at Chevron and insurance agent. Dawn had a vivacity about her, a laugh that was contagious and full of joy. “I still see her beautiful smile, ever sparkly eyes, and hear her laugh,” said a friend. She was diligently loyal and made it a point to keep in touch and bring people together. She loved everything Hawaiian, especially hula, music and food. Though she lived in Northern California, she came back for every class reunion for The Priory Class of ’81.

THE STEVENS

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

â€˜Emalani WINTER 20174

Corporate Feature

At St. Andrew’s Schools, we are most proud of our students, who are intensely curious about the world around them, passionate about global issues that affect humanity, and committed to using their knowledge and skills to create a world that is peaceful and just. This global awareness in our students is in large part thanks to the generous support given to St. Andrew’s Schools by the Stephen E. and Isabella H. Stevens World Peace Foundation. The foundation’s mission to “promote peace through education, awareness, and advocacy, starting with Hawaii’s youth” is fully aligned with the St. Andrew’s School’s mission and vision. In partnership with the Stevens World Peace Foundation, St. Andrew’s Schools has developed a robust global leadership program that cultivates the character and will in our students to investigate the world beyond their immediate environment and deeply engage in significant global issues that affect peace. In 2011, the Stevens World Peace Foundation started work with St. Andrew’s Schools to encourage students to become involved in global issues through the Model United Nations program. In participating in Model United Nations simulations and conferences, students learn to take action through networking, collaboration, negotiation, compromise, and seeing themselves as positive, powerful agents for peace (locally, regionally, and/or globally).

‘Emalani WINTER 2017

In 2015, with the help of the Stevens World Peace Foundation, St. Andrew’s was able to expand its curriculum, projects, activities and educational travel opportunities to formalize the Dr. Stephen E. and Isabella H. Stevens Institute for Global Leadership Program. Stevens Global Leadership students have the opportunity to earn the prestigious Distinction in Global Leadership by engaging in rigorous coursework, leadership and philanthropic activities that fulfill the Stevens Global Leadership Learning Outcomes. Today, 16% of our high school students and 15% of the class of 2018 are on track to graduate with Distinction in Global Leadership. In this program, students practice how to communicate and engage with audiences of diverse backgrounds, recognize and overcome linguistic, ideological, cultural, and geographic barriers. They also learn to recognize, articulate and explain multiple perspectives while becoming aware and respectful of how religious, cultural, geopolitical and historical backgrounds shape individual viewpoints. They learn how to construct and articulate their own unique perspectives about how the world

works based upon sustained inquiry of global issues that affect peace. During the 2016-2017 school year, students traveled to Cambodia, where they studied the rich cultural and historical heritage. They learned about the country’s tragic political history and the devastating impact on the Cambodian people - opening their eyes to the issues of global poverty and inequality. In Cambodia, the students worked with Sustainable Schools International, an NGO that serves the children of Cambodia by providing resources for children and their families to be able to obtain a solid education. One student reflected, “The world feels both smaller and bigger. I experienced so many new things, but also realized just how much we are all alike. We all have the same problems with only ethnicity, language, and thousands of miles separating us. I wish there was an easier way for everyone to come together to solve these frequent problems: poverty, human trafficking, education, etc. However, I believe that my generation will be making changes in the global spectrum.” Another unique aspect of the Dr.

Stephen E. and Isabella H. Stevens Institute for Global Leadership Program is the cultivation of inner peace through the practice of mindfulness. During the 2016-2017 school year, our students had the opportunity to participate in Aloha ‘Aina camp, a nature immersion camp on Hawai‘i Island’s Hue Hue Ranch. This program is designed to reconnect people to nature and contemplate a vision of a world that we would want to live in through the exploration of permaculture principles of gardening, storytelling around the fire, nature hikes, daily meditation, and gratitude practices. One student reflected, “If people aren’t aware and continue to just wreck the nature that we were given, our world will come to ruin. I don’t want this to happen, and I would like to see more people attaining this knowledge.”

As a testament to the program, many students are active in Global Girls projects, which empower them to make a difference in our local community by connecting with local nonprofits, legislators, and social justice activists. Catherine Mount (c/o 2020), who is on-track to graduate with a Distinction in Global Leadership, worked with the Sierra Club to research and create materials that will raise awareness about the Red Hill fuel leakage issue as part of her Global Girls-Global Action class. She attended community hearings, researched legislation introduced in the State Senate to bring the underground tanks up to standard, and presented her findings at the Hawai’i Global Issues Network Conference, a conference for youth who are passionate about taking

action in the local community to make the world a better place. Aliyah Abanes (c/o 2018) has been active in our Model UN class for all of her high school years, and she has grown in her capacities to analyze global issues that threaten peace, lead negotiations, propose and sponsor resolutions designed to promote peace, and serve as committee chair. She has earned the coveted title of Best Delegate at several simulations and conferences. Mahalo to the Stevens World Peace Foundation for helping our students develop a global mindset to encourage choosing a path to global leadership, therefore making a positive impact on our future.

RULER Program at St. Andrew’s Schools Made Possible Through Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Pillars of Peace Hawai‘i Grant Mahalo nui loa to the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Pillars of Peace Hawai‘i grant for the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) RULER Program at St. Andrew’s Schools! St. Andrew’s Schools prides itself in creating a caring culture of educational excellence that prepares children for success in school and in life. The implementation of the RULER program is essential for the overall mission of the school. Our goal is to provide a healthy social and emotional foundation for our students, so they are healthy in mind, body and spirit and able to lead meaningful and productive lives. The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence’s RULER Approach to SEL is an evidencebased program that incorporates the science of emotions and ecological system theory. RULER stands for:

Recognizing emotions in self and others; Understanding the causes and consequences of emotions; Labeling emotions accurately; Expressing emotions appropriately; and Regulating emotions effectively.

“ I believe that the work St. Andrew’s Schools is doing with their faculty and staff, and students and parents is helping to groom ethical and compassionate leaders for our community who will be able to thrive in a global economy.” ROBBIE ANN KANE, Director of Programs, Omidyar Initiatives, Hawai‘i Community Foundation

RULER Program Interview with Robbie Ann Kane, Director of Programs, Omidyar Initiatives, Hawai‘i Community Foundation that it remains a part of their school experience into the future – that it becomes standard practice and not a “new program” to be added on top of all of the work their dedicated faculty and staff already do each day. In the long term, the Pillars of Peace Hawai’i effort aims to be a catalyst for understanding more about the roles of compassion, diversity, and culture in the practice of peace; to encourage our community to engage in acts of peace and aloha in our daily lives; and to grow ethical and compassionate leaders for Hawai‘i’s future. The work the St. Andrew’s Schools team is doing will help us reach these goals. Please tell us why St. Andrew’s Schools was selected as one of the participating schools for the Pillars of Peace Hawai‘i Fund.

The interest in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) education seems to be growing. Why do you think that is?

Two things stood out in the application submitted by St. Andrew’s Schools for the SEL grant. One was that all faculty and staff were to be trained in social and emotional literacy using an evidencebased and recognized SEL program called RULER. The program was not just focused on the students but also on the adults at the school. Second, the proposal included a clear plan to assess the program and measure progress and impact.

SEL is not new – it has been around in various forms for many years. But in today’s environment with technology, new stressors, and many competing demands, it seems to be needed even more than before. Additionally, SEL seems to have been implemented long enough now that the research is strong enough and reliable enough to demonstrate both immediate impacts as well as long-term benefits for students into their adult lives.

What do you hope your organization will achieve in the near future? In the long term?

In fact, a new study that “looked at a more than 20-year-old program designed to build social and emotional skills in young children found a surprising outcome: Participants had a higher likelihood of voting later in life.” A meta-analysis on SEL also showed an 11% gain in academic performance, along with the decreases in negative behaviors and increases in pro-social behaviors that might have been expected.

As the team continues to build on their SEL efforts, I hope they will be able to find a strong balance across their various programs to have the most positive impact possible for their students. As with all of the schools in the cohort, I hope they are able to embed SEL into their school programming so

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing education today? I think education faces many challenges today – one is just keeping up with the rapidly changing world given technological gains. Another is dealing with so many young people exposed to a variety of trauma – some very acute trauma – in their lives and the impact this has on their behavior and ability to learn. Educators are not just faced with educating young people. They must deal with their students’ social and emotional well-being before they can begin to address their academic needs. My mother is a retired elementary school teacher and many of my family members have had careers in education. Educators are expected to do so much more today while facing so many more challenges. HCF’s hope is that by supporting SEL programs in our schools, we are helping educators manage these challenges to give our young people the best chance for a successful future. What would you say are some of the Hawaii Community Foundation’s strongest beliefs and dreams about education? If you believe that people are basically good and capable, and we do, then education helps to empower people and provide the opportunities needed for each of us to accomplish wonderful things, to help make our society healthier, to help build a better place for us all.

St. Andrew’s Schools raised more than $800,000 at the 2017 Queen Emma Ball – 150th Anniversary Celebration held on Friday, May 26, 2017 – the largest amount ever raised at the Queen Emma Ball in the school’s history! The monumental gala kicked off a season of celebration for St. Andrew’s Schools’ 150th anniversary, commemorating the schools’ many years of actively engaging and educating students in a culture of care, love, and service. “For the past 150 years we have been educating children to thrive by nurturing their unique skills and talents to become meaningful contributors to our community and society,” said Dr. Ruth R. Fletcher, head of school at St. Andrew’s Schools. “We are proud to honor our founder, Queen Emma Kāleleonālani, who was an extraordinary visionary of her time. Together with her husband, Kamehameha IV, she was an ali‘i who created significantly impactful legacies in education, health and spirituality that are pillars in our society today. We thank our fantastic alumnae and the community for their outpouring of support and aloha and look forward to many more years of helping children learn and grow to be their personal best.” 38 ‘Emalani WINTER 2017

Over 480 guests gathered under the stars on the school’s campus in the heart of downtown Honolulu to enjoy performances by extraordinary talented St. Andrew’s students and delicious farm-to-table cuisine by Chef Mark Noguchi. Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa flew in from Washington, D.C. especially for the event and addressed the crowd with her inspiring thoughts on what it means to be a graduate of The Priory, and like all St. Andrew’s students, a perpetuation of Queen Emma’s legacy. During the event’s Ignite the Mission 150th Matching Gifts Campaign, the gala made its goal of raising an additional $150,000 to match a gift of $150,000 given to the school in honor of its 150th anniversary, resulting in $300,000 raised to continuing its success and the legacy of Queen Emma with a new campus master plan! The campus master plan, debuting in fall 2018, will re-imagine its learning environments and actively create spaces designed to empower students and set the stage for transformational learning.

It can generate an income stream. In return for the donation of real estate, stocks or other assets, donors canreceive a series of regular payments.

It can provide generous tax benefits. Depending upon the type of gift, short-

term and/or long-term tax benefits may apply. Donors at a variety of income levels can benefit.

It can work in tandem with other family priorities. Planned giving is not an “all or nothing” option. Gifts can exist sideby-side with other beneficiaries and personal priorities.

It is long remembered. Designating a planned gift automatically makes you a member of our legacy society. Legacy society members often receive immediate recognition on an organization’s website, in publications and receive invitations to special events. In addition to the satisfaction of making a meaningful gift, most planned gifts have immediate and/or long-term tax benefits. For information on St. Andrew’s Schools Queen Emma Legacy Society, please contact Jennifer Burke, Director of Institutional Advancement and Community Relations, at (808) 532-2441 or jburke@standrewsschools.org.

Events Recap

Ascension Day’s Rich Traditions Continue On Ascension Day 2017, the Priory celebrated its 150th anniversary with a chapel service led by The Rt. Rev. Robert L. Fitzpatrick in The Cathedral of St. Andrew. A procession followed as students, faculty, staff, and guests made their way to the beautifully decorated coral cross. Juniors and seniors sang their class songs as parting gifts to each other. Acknowledgements and presentations were made followed by the singing of the Priory Alma Mater. The day’s events closed with the Alumnae Pa’ina Lunch in the park at Queen Emma Square. The luncheon began with an ‘oli performed by the Middle School Hui Hau‘oli followed by Hawaiian fare and fellowship. The centennial class of 1967 as well as the classes of 1957 and 1947 celebrating their 60th and 70th reunions joined us as our guests of honor. When Ascension Day 2017 came to an end, one hundred alumnae had participated in our celebration, spanning eight decades and twenty-eight class years.

Alumnae Pau Hana • June 1, 2017 Alumnae Pau Hana began in 2015 to offer an opportunity for Priory alumnae to gather and reconnect at an off-campus, after-work get together. Since that first inaugural event, Board Vice Chair Judy Pietsch has continuously offered her exquisite waterfront home as the venue which provided the perfect setting for the event. In that first year, nearly fifty alumnae joined us for fellowship, fun, and food. This year’s 2017 Pau Hana had grown to an attendance of nearly one hundred alumnae!

‘Emalani WINTER 2017

Head of School Dr. Ruth R. Fletcher and Trustee Judy Pietsch graciously welcomed a festive group of Priory alumnae spanning from the classes of 1949 to 2012. Former headmaster Father David K. Kennedy made his third appearance to the Pau Hana, to the delight of many who were students at the time of his tenure. So much fun was had at Pau Hana 2017 that it inspired another alumnae-driven event later in the summer that brought over 20 alumnae and teachers back to campus. Mahalo to all who participated in our 2017 alumnae activities!
