STONE RIDGE OPEN HOUSE Pre-Kindergarten—Grade 8 January 10, 2020 • 8:30–10:30 am

At Stone Ridge, we encourage our girls to set high goals, and we provide the skills and support to advance them. Students gain courage and confidence through steadfast effort, with faith and love—in God, self, and community—at the core of it all.

This is the magic of the five Goals of Sacred Heart education, put into action.

A Sacred Heart education is a smart investment in your daughter's future.

Stone Ridge is committed to making sure that each year the School’s tuition remains reasonable.We strive to make Stone Ridge affordable for everyone and are very proud of what our financial aid program offers. Our financial aid program is designed to meet a wide range of needs. Our total financial aid fund grows each year, and now we serve more than a third of our students, from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12.

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE EXPERTS On September 20, DR. MARCIA CHATELAIN spoke to parents, faculty, and staff about where and how students are receiving messages—explicit and implicit—about race, gender, social class, sexuality, ability, and religion. In thinking about these messages, she helped the group understand the tremendous power they have in shaping not only how our children see the world, but also about their ability to demonstrate courage, integrity, and care for others who are different than them. The presentation also addressed the anxiety and fear we all feel when dealing with difficult topics in our families and communities.

Dr. Chatelain is the Provost’s Distinguished Associate Professor of History & African American Studies at Georgetown University. We were honored to have her visit with us at Stone Ridge.

On October 9, NED JOHNSON launched our parenting and education speaker series for the year. In his remarks, he focused on “parent as consultant” rather than manager. Exploring this dynamic, Mr. Johnson encouraged parents to give advice to children, but not to force change, allowing space for children to understand that parents trust them to make decisions about their lives. He highlighted autonomy as key to developing motivation in young people; “a low sense of control,” he argued, “is enormously stressful.” Emphasizing the key partnership between parents and schools, Mr. Johnson highlighted a need for discussions around homework and collaboration, to help students be more self driven and to learn best how their own minds work.

Our task is to celebrate the dynamic, flexible growth of our children. Failure, boredom, and downtime for reflection all foster creativity, self-actualization, and growth. Mr. Johnson urged us to practice these skills with our children. In keeping with our own Sacred Heart mission, we are reminded that “education is transformational because students are engaged in learning for the purpose of coming to self-understanding, intentional formation in critical thinking, a life-time long love of learning, and a sense of hope.”

Ned Johnson is the founder of PrepMatters, an educational company providing academic tutoring, educational planning, and standardized test preparation. He has spent more than 40,000 one-onone hours helping students conquer an alphabet of standardized tests and honing his insightful interpersonal skills. With Dr. William Stixrud, Mr. Johnson co-authored The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives, and this text was the focus for his talk with parents and staff.

From the Head of School

Building on Solid Ground.

Dear Stone Ridge Community, It is no secret that the first step to the construction of a great structure is building a solid foundation. If the base is weak, there is no hope that a building will stand the test of time.

The same is true for a school. Not only the actual buildings, but the mission, charism and culture that form the heart of the institution must be strong if the community will thrive.

Stone Ridge is built on rock, not sand.

That rock is found first in the Sacred Heart charism and mission which provide deep and solid grounding for our identity and philosophy. We were especially fortunate this September to have a visit from Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart, Barbara Dawson, RSCJ, and members of the Central Team.

Their appreciation for Stone Ridge and the work that we are doing here, as well as the context they were able to provide about the International Society and the current direction the RSCJ are taking, provided great affirmation of the importance of our roots and connection to the world-wide network. Yet philosophy and heritage are only words on paper until they are embraced by the individuals who come together in community and move the mission forward, year after year, decade after decade.

These St. Madeleine Sophie Barat Mass on May 24, 2019, bottom pages pay tribute to 13 retirees whose combined service to the School total 405 years. Imagine the impact that they had on shaping the Stone Ridge experience for generations of women. Also memorialized on these pages are four pivotal Stone Ridge leaders who passed away this year: Wendy Wright, Cokie Boggs Roberts ’60, Mamie Jenkins, RSCJ, and Dorothee Didden Riederer ’62. Each of these women helped to transform our community both through their work and through their lives.

This strong foundation has positioned Stone Ridge for some remarkable successes today. The 2019 Commencement section includes the inspirational messages of our Commencement speaker, Dr. Beverly Robinson Wheeler ’72, and Valedictorian Zoe Barnett ’19. We are remarkably grateful for the lifelong connections that so many alumnae make with the School, and the benefits they bring to our current students through their engagement.

Which brings us back to the idea of building. Read on to capture a picture of our Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign’s progress and where we are headed next with the physical space to support this great community and unparalleled student experience. The generosity of our community has helped us to raise more than $22 million to date, and we need everyone to come together in support of the project to get us across the finish line.

As we build on the strength of our foundation, together we will reach even higher heights. I invite you to engage fully in the life of the School and join us for the joyful journey that is about to unfold.

Warm regards,

Catherine Ronan Karrels '86, Head of School

With Gratitude

A Celebration of Service

The Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education is only made possible by the team members who bring it to life on a daily basis.

The following remarks were shared by Head of School Catherine Ronan Karrels ’86, on May 22, 2019, describing these wonderful team members and asking for prayers for them:

At the conclusion of our 2018-2019 academic year, we honored and thanked 13 employees who had each dedicated at least 20 years of service to Stone Ridge. These 13 individuals, through their own tireless and boundless efforts, made remarkable contributions to the foundation of Stone Ridge. When combined together, their service reflects an astounding 405 years of service to the School.

“Our Lower School bids a fond farewell to Stone Ridge alumna and 21-year employee, Susan O’Callaghan Davis. Susan ran our Lower School library for many years and in recent years extended her impact as Lower School Campus Minister.

Susan’s keen appreciation for literature and faith have been a tremendous gift to the Lower School.

Like so many of the Religious of the Sacred Heart who partnered in teams to educate young women, these individuals are part of the extended team that has carried forward the original mission and helped make it relevant for today’s Sacred Heart students.

For 28 years, our Middle School science and math students have benefited from the calm, gentle demeanor of June Gentilcore. June’s excellence and joy as a teacher have helped decades of students develop a love for math, science, and a curiosity about the world around them.

Our Middle School Social Studies Department bids a fond farewell to three remarkable teachers: Sally Foley, Chair of the Department, served for 28 years; Dr. Chris Weber for 33 years; and Tom O’Hare for 40 years. With their own distinct style and sense of humor, each brought passion and excellence to the study of history, current events, and the society around us.

They have cultivated in generations of our Middle School girls a deep appreciation for critical thinking, the importance of civic engagement, and the importance of learning from the past.

The Upper School also thanks and bids farewell to a History Department legend, Dr. Michael Cavey, who for 21 years has shared his passion for understanding the lessons of history with his students. His quick wit and vast knowledge have inspired countless Upper School girls to pursue history and political science in college, and furthermore, developed our graduates into lifelong learners of the lessons of history. His passion for civic engagement has encouraged generations of students to think for themselves, to pay attention to the world around them, and to be women of action.

We say a fond farewell to Patrick Sales, who for 27 years has worked in the business office, patiently and persistently going about the work of keeping the bills paid, the vendors happy, and the business transactions in good order.

Two members of our housekeeping staff, Hector Barrera, who served for 23 years, and Jorge Aguilar for 29 years, both conclude their work.

Always with a bright smile and ready hand, these dedicated men have helped to prepare our environment every day so that our students and employees have a beautiful, well-kept space in which to work. We are ever mindful of how lucky we are to have these beautiful spaces in which to learn and live, and we are deeply grateful to you.

We also thank and acknowledge two legends in our Music Department: Nancy Fazio who departs after 36 years of service and Linda Lynch after 46 years of service. Nancy taught Lower School music for many years, founded the esteemed Junior Chorus program, and directed our liturgical music program.

Linda has played a variety of roles in the Lower School over the years including classroom teacher for various grade levels and Lower School music teacher. Both of these women have brought our community together through the power of music countless times, and both have shared their deep faith in God, serving as models for our community about the importance of faith in the journey of life.

For the past 23 years, Alana Pitcher has literally taken care of this community. She served as nurse, confidant, and consultant to students, parents, and employees alike. Whether dealing with a scraped knee, a

broken limb, a chronic illness, or an aching heart, Mrs. Pitcher always comes through for us with her gentle manner, calm disposition, genuine care, and outstanding medical knowledge.

And finally, the incomparable Mrs. Patricia Cleary. For 50 years, Mrs. Cleary has been the face and the voice of Stone Ridge. Sitting at her command center of the reception desk, she has welcomed our visitors, directed daily foot traffic, and kept the phones in order. Five decades of Stone Ridge students and community members have been greeted by Mrs. Cleary every time they walk through the Hamilton House doors, feeling instantly at home the moment they see her loving face and hear her familiar voice.

There really are not words to thank you all for what you have contributed to Stone Ridge. Your collective and individual impact is nothing short of legendary.

So knowing that there is no material gift or words that can fully express our gratitude, I share these thoughts on what we can give you in some humble way to thank you: First, profound recognition of your impact. A life well lived leaves a mark on those around you. Rest assured that your work here has transformed hearts and minds and that your good works leave a lasting legacy.

Second, know of our gratitude and love. Many of you have expressed to me that leaving Stone Ridge at the end of this year is like leaving family. The good news is— you don’t have to. We’re not going anywhere and as you know, “Once a child of the Sacred Heart, always a child of the Sacred Heart.” We fully hope and expect that you will remain active participants in the life of the School.

Third, our commitment to pay it forward. Your good works inspire us to keep moving forward the mission—the foundation that you have helped to set will continue to serve as the bedrock on which we will build for future generations.”

We salute you.

May the Spirit of Madeleine Sophie continue to guide you.

May the Holy Spirit nurture you at every turn.

May the doors that open in this moment of change bring you joy and laughter.

May your hearts be full of wonder.

May you always remember our gratitude.

And may you always remain children of the Sacred Heart.

Cor Unum affectionately refers to St. Madeleine Sophie Barat’s motto for the Society of the Sacred Heart—One Heart and One Mind in the Heart of Jesus.

The Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign is about the heart of our Stone Ridge community—fostering an environment for our girls that reflects our Sacred Heart beliefs in the development of the interior life, the nourishment of creative expression, the appreciation of beauty, and the exposure to new thoughts.

One heart With a goal of $28 million, the Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign is the first comprehensive campaign undertaken in the School’s history. The building projects within the Campaign will help us prepare for the future by transforming the heart of campus through the development of a new Student Life Center, Campus Quad and Loop Road, and renovations to current facilities. The Stone Ridge Fund is part of the Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign and will remain the philanthropic lifeblood of the School, supporting current day-to-day operations.

The wider Stone Ridge community enjoyed student musical performances and visual arts displays, food trucks, activities, and community building.

“As current parents and chairs of The Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign, we cannot think of a more worthwhile investment for the next generation of Stone Ridge girls.

We believe strongly in the School’s promise to nurture and develop the whole child in mind, body, and spirit.”

Bricks and mortar matter because they provide the space in which we organize ourselves as a community.

“Our construction work this year is not only about building structures; it is about building a future. It is not only about building a theatre; it is about building a platform on which girls can stretch their artistic abilities, challenge themselves to present in front of an audience, envision themselves as leaders and people who have a place in front of a microphone. It is not just about building a courtyard; it is about building a safe environment in which young girls can have conversations and play space, where girls can confide in a friend, swing from the monkey bars, or let go of their worries while gliding to the highest possible heights on the swing set.”

– Catherine Ronan Karrels ’86, Head of School

The Student Life Center . . . $30,300,000 The Student Life Center will include a first-class dining hall (with commercial kitchen) that will double as an all-school worship space for Mass and community gatherings. In addition, the Center will house a grand 420-seat theater, performing arts space, musical instruction classrooms, and visual arts studios.

Campus Quad and Loop Road . . . $4,100,000 The Loop Road will circle the perimeter of campus and create the new Campus Quad, serving pedestrians only during the school day, and providing green space for outdoor learning, reflection, play, and socialization.

Renovations . . . $2,800,000 As arts programs are moved to the newly built Student Life Center, spaces in the current facilities will be renovated to create a designed configuration of upgraded classrooms, active learning and media centers, and common spaces.

These renovations will enhance our overall program and curriculum.

The Stone Ridge Fund . . . $5,500,000 A steady growth of The Stone Ridge Fund is included in the Campaign goal to ensure that Stone Ridge can sustain its programs, and support our students and faculty. The capital portion of the Campaign will build facilities and renovate spaces worthy of the programs supported by The Stone Ridge Fund.

Building projects are funded through philanthropic dollars, board restricted funds, and long-term debt.

CRAFTING ARTISANS OF HOPE AT STONE RIDGE RSCJ Superior General and Central Team Visit

by Carrie Tydings

Sr. Monica Esquival, Catherine Ronan Karrels '86, Head of School, Sr. Barbara Dawson, Sr. Marie-Jeanne Elonga, and Sr. Daphne Sequeira

The team then participated in an all-school gathering where students and faculty alike enjoyed hearing from each member of the delegation.

Mrs. Karrels introduced the delegation and asked that the students be “artisans of hope.” As she explained, “the very best way to feel a sense of hope is to look at the faces of our community. I invite you to see them with my eyes.”

On September 24, the Stone Ridge community enthusiastically welcomed the Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart Barbara Dawson, RSCJ and members of the Central Team including: Daphne Sequeira, RSCJ, of the Province of India; Marie-Jeanne Elonga, RSCJ, of the Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and Monica Esquivel, RSCJ, of the Province of Mexico. Determined to connect with Sacred Heart schools around the world, Stone Ridge was one stop in a 28 country tour within the Sacred Heart community for the delegation.

To kick off their day-long visit, the delegation enjoyed lunch with members of the student body and administrative team to discuss their experience at Stone Ridge during this exciting time of growth on campus. Afterwards, Head of Upper School Mr. Malcolm McCluskey led a tour of campus. Highlights included the gazebo near Hamilton House, the room where one of the members lived as a nun when part of the Stone Ridge campus housed a convent, the Mater Admirabilis and St. Rose Philippine Duchesne statues, the planning of a Kindergarten STEAM lesson, and a bird’s eye view of the campus construction from Head of School Catherine Ronan Karrels’s office.

In taking the podium, Sr. Dawson said she wasn’t sure if she felt more like “your older sister or your grandmother, but we are all part of this big Sacred Heart family.” She spoke about what the true core of a Sacred Heart education is really about: “creating a very big heart and a strong way of learning about our world.” She urged the student body to “look with new eyes and be a conscious part of our global community.”

The other members of the delegation touched on themes of love for each other and reminded the students to be grateful to their teachers and parents for the “incredible gift of a Sacred Heart education.”

They charged the students to use this gift and live out a mission of love for one another. The gathering ended with a rousing edition of the girls singing Coeur de Jesus.

“As artisans tasked with bringing hope into the world, we are free to create that hope in a myriad of ways.”

Sister Barbara Dawson

Later in the afternoon, Sr. Dawson, Sr. Esquivel, Sr. Sequeira, Sr. Elonga along with other members of the delegation adjourned to meet with small groups of students who shared their thoughts and concerns. Before doing so, one student asked Sr. Dawson about how her Sacred Heart education was different from hers, and she remarked upon the incredible opportunities Stone Ridge students have today because of the diversity of curriculum. Sr. Dawson also noted that despite the centurieslong tradition of Sacred Heart education, the Goals and Criteria that are so central to the present-day Sacred Heart experience were codified in the 1970s.

Pictured above: (back row) Sr. Monica Esquival, Sr. Suzanne Cooke, Bill Hobbs; (middle row) Sr. Sheila Hammond, Sr. Barbara Dawson, Catherine Ronan Karrels '86, Sr. Marie-Jeanne Elonga; (front row) Kathryn Heetderks, Sr. Diane Roche, and Sr. Daphne Sequeira

Students in the small group discussions universally agreed that the International Network exchange program is vital to a feeling of global connectedness with their Sacred Heart sisters around the world. Sr. Dawson noted that we have a real opportunity to become more connected to one another on an individual basis with students through the International Network of Sacred Heart schools: “I have a real hope that people learn to connect.”

Sr. Dawson and U.S. Provincial Team leader Sheila Hammond, RSCJ were especially interested in the Stone Ridge Social Action Program noting that “Stone Ridge is well-known within the Sacred Heart network for its community service.” The students eagerly told the sisters about their unique experiences in our area and noted that the reflection piece surrounding the theme of each Social Action effort is crucial to the overall experience.

The Mother General sees it as her obligation to animate the mission of being an “artisan of hope.” Sr. Dawson summed up her visit and vision saying, “as artisans tasked with bringing hope into the world, we are free to create that hope in a myriad of ways.”

The Stone Ridge community was extremely grateful for the honor to host the Central Team, and the messages and discussions from the day will be carried on.

We want to encourage them in their path forward towards humanization.

We hope to create cultures in our institutions in which interiority may be developed simultaneously with critical thinking, compassion and faith.

We are committed to educating to astonishment so that young people may encounter Mystery. In this moment and experience, we sense that the young will come to see themselves as God does—fully alive imbued with Christ’s Spirit. We know young people are endowed by grace.

IN THE PRESENCE OF CHANGE AGENTS

Excerpts from Graduation Address by Dr. Beverley Robinson Wheeler '72

St. Madeleine Sophie Barat said: "For the sake of one child, I would have founded the Society." For that I will be forever grateful.

I wanted to speak with you today about servant leadership.

But you already know what servant leadership means. It starts the minute you step on the Stone Ridge campus—whether you came in Pre-Kindergarten or the Third Academic. Servant leadership is embedded in the Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria.

I am here to remind you that servant leadership doesn’t end after you leave Stone Ridge. I have found that by living the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education that I am a better person; a more generous person; a more grateful person; a more compassionate person; a happier person.

Goal I: A personal and active faith in God. My job description says “ending hunger in the nation’s capital”.

There is no ambiguity in that. There are times when I get overwhelmed and despondent. Particularly on the days I am reminded that 26% of the children under the age of 18 living in the District of Columbia are living in poverty. Or when I am confronted with the fact that only 50% of our senior citizens who

26

Stone Ridge Magazine

qualify for food stamps are actually getting them. Or that only 47% of the students receiving free and reduced meals during the school year are getting them in the summer months. They are not on vacation or sabbatical. We need to find them and feed them. At those times I lean on my personal and active faith in God. I ask to be made calm. I seek to be still so that I may hear my assignment. I ask for discernment to address the issue at hand. Here is my advice to you. When social media and 24-hour streaming services threaten to take over or college studies and new jobs start to stress you. Take a minute or two to go sit with God. He has your back.

Goal II: A deep respect for intellectual values.

We are pretty smart at Stone Ridge. We are not arrogant about it.

We are taught critical thinking skills. We value lifelong learning.

We are not afraid to get into some research.

I feel wonderful about you and what you will accomplish. One of you will discover an orphan drug—that drug designed for a disease so rare that pharmaceutical companies won’t invest in it. One of you will create art so beautiful that we will weep at the sight of it.

Dr. Beverley Robinson Wheeler '72 After leaving Stone Ridge, Dr. Wheeler earned a Bachelors in Social and Decision Science and a Masters in Management and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. She then went on to earn both a Masters and Doctorate in Education from Harvard University.

Dr. Wheeler has over 30 years of experience in all phases of public and private sector policy development working in crisis resolution, process development, civic engagement, community/economic development and planning as well as policy development and implementation. She has 20 years of experience working with the DC government and the DC Council at the executive level as Executive Director of the State Board of Education and Neighborhood Action; Chief of Staff to Phil Mendelson; and Special Assistant to three City Administrators. She is the former president and CEO of Center City Public Charter Schools.

1 Grade 3 students have been studying fungi as part of their STEAM class.

In this study, students were given the opportunity to taste mushrooms and explore yeast through cooking their own pizzas. Students then designed their own paper plate pizzas using various fractions and showed off their work using the app Chatterpix Kids. Finally, students were asked to create their own math word problem based on their paper pizza and a pretend pizza shop that sells it.

The robots perform detailed movements, lift and deposit objects, detect color changes, switch directions when their path is blocked, and so much more. Working with Lego Mindstorm kits allows for students to follow the engineering design process so that they may understand the problem, imagine solutions, plan out their strategies, create their problem-solving design, test it, and then go back to make improvements.

STEM COUNCIL

Council Offers Valuable Insight Into STEM Fields For Upper School Students Our Chair of the Science Department, Mrs. Joanna Caudle, in conjunction with administrators, peer faculty members, and the Office of Advancement launched a STEM Council in 2019. The Council is comprised of alumnae, alumnae parents, and former faculty who work in a STEM field. Its purpose is to serve those Stone Ridge students who show an interest in STEM by connecting them to real world practices and professions and to mentor them as they make their way to higher education programs.

The Council has held two summits, one last winter and the other this fall. The discussions have focused on how to assist students as they navigate the STEM field moving forward. The Council identified that the confidence and ability to communicate instilled in them from their education at Stone Ridge will set them apart in classes at the university level, in job interviews, and beyond. The Council sees the value for students in learning from alumnae stories that explain the path through the university to a job or from job to job. The Council also wants to work on building a stronger network for mentoring and support among the students and alumnae.

TRÈS BIEN BALL 2019

Très Bien Ball

The annual Très Bien Ball is a celebratory formal dinner dance hosted by the Alumnae Association to honor the Fourth Academic class. The Très Bien Ball, founded in 1953, was created by combining the Stone Ridge Fathers Club graduation dance in 1946 and the Alumnae Association supper dance in 1949. This formal ball provides an opportunity for the students to be formally inducted into the Alumnae Association. The event is organized by an honorary committee, under the supervision of the Director of Alumnae Relations. This year, The Très Bien Ball was held on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park. Over 500 guests, including 41 Stone Ridge and Sacred Heart alumnae, celebrated the induction of the class of 2019 into the Alumnae Association.

Wendy Wright (1940-2019)

Former Head of Lower School and Lower School Faculty, Mother of Alison Wright Smithers ’82 At the request of her dear friend Sarah Anderson to come to Stone Ridge, Wendy Wright began her career at the School as a Kindergarten teacher in 1970 and shaped the lives for so many Stone Ridge girls for years to follow.

Kathryn Bonner Gillick ’89, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher at Stone Ridge and former Head of Lower School, shares some thoughts on her teacher and friend: “It’s not often that someone has the same great teacher in Kindergarten and then again in the First Grade. And it is even more rare that that same great teacher would then hire that student to teach under her leadership! Wendy Wright was that amazing teacher, and I was fortunate enough to be that student. Wendy was a joyful and talented teacher who brought excitement to her classroom. I remember the sense of pure delight I had walking into my First Grade classroom and seeing her there after having her as my Kindergarten teacher the year before. I remember fondly how she brought science to life for us with hands on experiments. As the second Head of the Lower School at Stone Ridge, Wendy worked with teachers, students, and families to ensure that children were growing and

learning. To think of the thousands of children’s lives she touched over her 32 years of service is staggering. When it came time for her to retire, she found tremendous joy in establishing an endowed scholarship fund for Lower School students. Even in retirement, she was able to keep touching the lives of Stone Ridge girls.

Even more extraordinary is that I had the distinct honor to follow in her footsteps as her successor to serve as Head of Lower School from 2000 to 2011. Mrs. Wright taught me as a child and continued teaching me well into my adulthood.

I am richly blessed to have had this great educator be a part of my lifelong journey of learning for so many years. She will be greatly missed, but her memory and good work lives on in all of us who knew and learned from her.”

Gifts in Wendy’s name may be made to the Wendy M. Wright Endowed Scholarship Fund. This Fund was established by the family and friends of Wendy M. Wright upon her retirement in 2002. After thirty-two years of service to Stone Ridge, Mrs. Wright is remembered especially as the Head of the Lower School.

The Fund supports tuition assistance of a Lower School student.

Cokie Boggs Roberts ’60 (1943-2019) Alumna and Former Trustee

Addressing the graduates from the Class of 2012, Cokie Roberts stated, “I am a Stone Ridge girl,” adding that the School, along with her parents “really made me the person that I am today.”

Alumna and nationally renowned journalist Cokie Roberts served as a Trustee from 1998-2004 with Headmistress Anne Dyer ’55, RSCJ, as a philanthropic leader, most recently as the honorary chair of the School’s Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign, as a frequent guest author for our girls, and a friend to many at Stone Ridge. Cokie and her husband, Steve, had a long-standing annual tradition of attending our Christmas Eve liturgy in Hamilton House.

Head of School Catherine Ronan Karrels ’86 reflected, “The Goals of Sacred Heart education—faith, intellect, service, community and personal growth—were at the core

of who Cokie was. Her life was the perfect model of all that our community values and strives to achieve… I know that I was not alone in my admiration of her, as a professional, a wife, a mother and grandmother, and a loyal Stone Ridge graduate. I am deeply grateful for the blessing that her friendship brought to my life and to our School.”

Cokie Roberts had a deep appreciation for her education and for the wisdom of the Religious of the Sacred Heart who sponsored the school, and over the years she maintained personal relationships with the sisters who taught her. In her address to the Class of 2012 she also stated, “There are fewer and fewer consecrated women, so now it’s up to you. It’s up to us...Because now, we have to be the agents of change, change for the good in this society. You as religious women, must give voice to the powerless, as women religious have been doing throughout our history.”

Mamie Jenkins, RSCJ (1924-2019) Former Lower School Faculty and Campus Minister

Our wider Sacred Heart family has lost a beloved educator and RSCJ, Sr. Mamie Jenkins, who died on October 2, 2019. Mamie was a member of the Stone Ridge faculty for fifteen years, starting in 1988 as a campus minister, a tutor of math for our Lower School, and an adored teacher of music and guitar lessons.

At Stone Ridge, she instilled our Sacred Heart mission of love and a lifelong quest for learning through the universal language of music. She generously shared her gifts, and poured out her love for her students, fellow teachers, and members of our local community. We invite you to read her obituary, posted by the Society (www.rscj.org), which details her rich life as a Religious and a dear friend to many.

Please join the Stone Ridge community in offering prayers of thanksgiving for the soul of this beautiful woman, educator, and RSCJ. May perpetual light shine upon her, and may she travel with the angels to the Lord.

“She was one of the biggest sources of light and joy in my time at Stone Ridge. I frequently reminisce about all the fun moments singing and dancing with her, how much she made me laugh and how she helped nurture my lifelong passion for music.” Martha Betubiza ’15

Dorothee Didden Riederer ’62 (1944-2019) Alumna and Former Middle School Faculty

Dorothee Didden Riederer ’62 served as a Middle School faculty member from 1974-2012, teaching Grade 8 English. Dorothee was a truly beloved member of the Stone Ridge family, having taught generations of women the power of the written and spoken word. She was a passionate champion of our mission and a highly engaged alumna, receiving the Outstanding Alumna Award at her retirement in June 2012.

As Dorothee so beautifully wrote for her own obituary...

“She believed that sincerely loving her students…how they looked, the way they talked, their personalities, all about them…and letting them know she loved them, was essential to being a good teacher. An alumna of Stone Ridge and Manhattanville College, she credited her Sacred Heart education with making her the person she was, intellectually and emotionally, for the rest of her life. During retirement, she volunteered with Hope for Honduran Children. Nicknamed ‘abuela’ by the boys from Casa Noble, Dorothee was devoted to her ‘grandsons.’”

“People sometimes characterized Dorothee as sweet, but that word does not capture the fist-clenching discipline with which she battled a diagnosis of bronchiectasis, a lung disease similar to cystic fibrosis, that complicated her later years and eventually took her life. Yes, she would often say, with smiling eyes, how simple everything had become for her: ‘To love and be loved is the whole meaning of life. Everything else is just a small thing to be gotten past so one can get on with those two big things.’”

Dorothee also wrote and shared the prayer at Commencement in 2012. Her beautiful words speak of her deep love for the Sacred Heart mission, which all of these strong women believed in and lived to the fullest.
