This spring, Stone Ridge was recognized for a third straight year as a No Place for Hate (NPFH) designation by the Anti-Defamation League. During the banner presentation pictured below, Seth Gordon-Lipkin, ADL’s Washington, DC Education Director, noted that Stone Ridge was the very first school in the DC region to participate in the ADL NPFH program. NPFH is a program in which ADL works with schools to improve and maintain a positive school climate so that all students can thrive. Stone Ridge stands with other area schools in the region in a grassroots effort to fight against bias, bigotry, and bullying. This recognition demonstrates the dedicated diversity work carried out in our mission by our students, faculty and families.

Crossing Frontiers.

Dear SR Community: We continue our celebration “Crossing New Frontiers,” our theme for the year-long bicentennial of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne’s arrival in America, by remembering her courageous voyage and arduous work to spread the love of Christ and to open the first Sacred Heart school outside of Europe. And yet, we also celebrate our own frontiers crossed: Stone Ridge’s athletic program winning the Lewis Cup for the first time in our history, our growth of the Little Hearts program, our collaborative work in STEAM, our campus master planning to transform our learning spaces, and our interdivisional work on the academic program, to name a few.

Catherine Ronan Karrels '86, with 2017-2018 Student Body President and Vice President Janie Bell ‘18 and Catherine Spina ‘18, is recognized at the Feast of Madeleine Sophie Barat Mass for her ten years of service to the Network of Sacred Heart schools as Head of School at Stone Ridge.

A YEAR OF Social Action STONE RIDGE PARTICIPATES IN SACRED HEART GLOBAL SERVICE DAY On Saturday, September 15, the Sacred Heart community celebrated Global Service Day; participating in service together around the globe to commemorate Philippine's legacy of opening the first Sacred Heart school in the Americas. As we continued to celebrate the Year of Philippine and her courageous acts of crossing frontiers, Stone Ridge presented its Day of Service as "Women Helping Women." Social action focused on organizations serving women and children in and around our community.

Stone Ridge Parents Association leaders Shauna Johnson and Elaine Vining served as chairs for the day by organizing and coordinating volunteers, logistics, and Stone Ridge Social Action program partners as the beneficiaries of our service. Students, their families, alumnae faculty and staff gathered in this on-campus event to serve others.

Activities included assembling healthy "breakfast togo" bags to be distributed to women at emergency and transitional shelters run by Catholic Charities’ Cup of Joe; assembling packages of children's books to provide

St. Rose Philippine Duchesne • Stone Ridge Celebrates the Life of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne with Celebratory Mass and Installation of New Philippine Statue November 18 marks the Feast of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, always a special day for the Stone Ridge community and each and every Sacred Heart school around the globe. This year was especially memorable, as it marked both the culmination of the bicentennial year of Philippine and the welcoming to the campus of a gorgeous new statue of Philippine, a gift of Anna and Robert Trone.

The day started with a Mass, celebrated by Father William Byrne, who suggested in his homily that Philippine could certainly serve as a patron saint of strong women and of girls’ education. He also jokingly said she could also be the “patron saint of frustration because, at nearly every turn, her life did not go according to her plan, but her faith allowed her to be open to God’s plan for her life.” A recurring theme woven throughout Fr. Bill’s remarks as well as those of Sister Suzanne Cooke, a Religious of the Sacred Heart and head of the Conference of Sacred Heart Education, was to “claim the present because that’s where God’s will can be found.”

Celebrating 200 Years

Anna Trone stands with Harry Weber in front of the statue of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne

After Mass, attendees gathered in the Lower School circle for the blessing of the new statue, which depicts Philippine embracing a child, and was generously given by Robert and Anna Trone and their daughter Sophia '20. As she took the podium to speak, a visibly-moved Anna Trone said that in commissioning the statue she took inspiration from her Italian immigrant parents whose daunting journey mirrored that of Philippine’s more than 200 years ago. Mrs. Trone also said she feels a special connection to Philippine because she shares her birthday with Philippine’s feast day.

Known by the Native Americans as the “woman who prays always,” Philippine is revered for her courage, zeal and fortitude in bringing Sacred Heart education to the United States. Head of School Catherine Ronan Karrels, who also spoke at the benediction, said she hopes that the visual imagery of Philippine will be “a daily reminder of her work in support of girls’ education and of the example she set.”

Also in attendance at the blessing of the new Philippine sculpture was its creator, internationally-known sculptor Harry Weber. Those gathered could feel his excitement and enthusiasm for the project and his profession. Mr. Weber said he was struck by Philippine’s humanity and love for the children she taught: “I’ve sculpted a lot of heroic figures,

but none had more courage than her.” The Stone Ridge Philippine is totally unique, noting that he and Mrs. Trone worked to soften Philippine’s visage, “so that her face, rather than reflect her advanced age for the time and her life’s hardships, would more accurately mirror what was in her heart.”

Scenes from the Duchesne Mass

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Father Byrne used fronds to bless the statue with holy water and then all in attendance sang a hymn, “Oh God of Ev’ry Nation.”

The hymn was specially commissioned by the RSCJs and written by Fr. Michael Joncas for the international celebration of this most beloved saint. The song’s lyrics exclaim, “Oh God of ev’ry nation, O Lord of life and love, you grace the human journey with guidance from above.

We praise you for your servant who witnessed to your name and bore your gospel gladly, Rose Philippine Duchesne.”

UPPER SCHOOL CERAMICS STUDENTS GET VISIT FROM PHILIPPINE SCULPTOR HARRY WEBER The Philippine celebration day offered a especially unique experience for Upper School students who take ceramics. After the Mass and statue blessing, AP art students and their teacher Mr. Tom Doyle gathered in the art studio for a special presentation and Q&A session with Philippine sculptor Harry Weber.

Throughout the hour, Mr. Weber gave them a short history of his career as a sculptor and a detailed description and video explanation on the entirety of the sculpting process. As he explained, it takes a team of experts employing technology and craftsmanship to create beautiful sculptures.

Mr. Weber has been working as a sculptor for 40 years and has completed more than 500 sculptures, including those of Bobby Orr, Chuck Berry, and Lewis and Clark. Of the 500 pieces, 160 are life-size or larger.

The statue of Philippine was cast in 12 different pieces, then expertly welded together and finished. It is a quarter-inch thick and hollow, and, as Mr. Weber added with a wink “only weighs 600 pounds.”

Mr. Weber relayed that he loves to examine each and every human face and shape, that gravity has a pull on each and every person, and because of that our bodies make unique shapes. When sculpting, he makes a concerted effort to really think about the person he is sculpting, their lives, their experiences, their struggles and joys, and their personalities, all of which he hopes is revealed in his creations.

In concluding his remarks, Mr. Weber described art as “connecting eye to brain to hand,” but that art is also work. “What you want to show in art is humanity.”

He suggested that students carry a sketchbook with them everywhere they go because, “as you pay more attention to the people around you, you become a better person.”

POTOWATOMI PIECE? In September 2018, Middle School Math Teacher Jan Compton and Director of Formation to Mission Kathryn Heetderks represented the Network of Sacred Heart Schools on the Potawatomi Trail of Death Commemorative Caravan.

Since 1988, this 660-mile journey by car from northern Indiana to Sugar Creek, Kansas has been traveled every five years by a group of Potawatomi and other interested persons. This year's caravan also included five RSCJs and one Sacred Heart Associate as a part of an effort to renew connections between the RSCJs and the Potawatomi in the bicentennial celebration of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne's arrival to the United States.

The group stopped at historical markers along the route and met with members of the local communities. Philippine's desire to serve the indigenous peoples of the United States brought her to America. At age 72, she was finally able to fulfill this dream when she was invited to serve the Potawatomi at the Sugar Creek Mission.

For more information about the reconnection between the Potawatomi and the RSCJs, please visit rscj.org/bicentennial2018/reconnecting-potawatomi.

Creating and growing a beauty product business wasn’t always part of Tara’s career plans. Receiving a BA in public policy from Trinity College in Connecticut in 2007 and interning for Legal Aid and nonprofits during her college years, Tara initially hoped to go to law school and have a career in advocacy. Her first job out of college had her working as a paralegal and law clerk at a corporate law firm in New York City. At the time, to create balance in her hectic life (she was also studying for the LSAT), she was very much into healthy eating and exercise. While looking up recipes online, she stumbled upon information regarding ingredients in beauty products, and upon further reading, began to realize how unclean self-care products were. A self-described “lifelong beauty junkie” Tara says, “I was shocked when I learned that there were many unsafe ingredients hiding in my beloved beauty products.”

Margaret Wroblewski ‘13 graduated in 2017 from Loyola University in Baltimore with a degree in communications. Today, she is pursuing her masters in new media journalism from the Corcoran School of Art and Design at George Washington University. In addition, she juggles two jobs – she is a digital media specialist at The Kennedy Center, helping the video department film performances, promotional videos, and interviews; and, she has her own photography business, capturing individual and family portraits, weddings, and other special events.

As a graduate student (she will graduate from The Corcoran in May) Margaret is working on her thesis entitled “Underground, Documenting Women and Men Who Have Been Harassed in Public Spaces” of which she has garnered significant media exposure. The project has been featured on NPR and the BBC and in articles by The Washington Post and The Catholic Standard.

A YEAR OF Intellect LEARNERS THRIVE IN THE LOWER SCHOOL WITH THE PROJECT APPROACH

Pre-K and Kindergarten classes Kindergarten students explore the topic of fish through The Project at Stone Ridge use The Project Approach Approach—a series of teaching strategies that guides children through an in-depth study of a real world topic. Children pick a topic that is of interest to them and then delve into a variety of exercises to become experts in the topic. They read books about it, paint and draw it, make models of it, study its characteristics, learn about its history, taste and cook with it if it’s a food, hear presentations from experts who come in for visits, and then, at the culmination of the project, share their knowledge with parents and friends. The beauty of project work is that it is cross-curricular; incorporating literacy, communications, numeracy and science.

For one of their fish activities, Upper School science teacher and STEM/STEAM coordinator This Fall, girls in Kindergarten chose fish as Kathleen Flood came to the Kindergarten room to their topic to study. They have five fish in two perform a fish dissection in response to one of the classroom tanks, one male Betta Fish (living solo) questions the children had asked as a part of the named Sapphire, and in the large tank two female Project – “What’s inside a fish?

The girls love following the fish, caring probe, and a paring knife. for them, and observing their habits.

The beauty of project work is that it is cross-curricular; incorporating literacy, communications, numeracy and science.

On October 29, the Kindergarten went on a Fieldwork Experience to a fish store in Rockville called Congressional Aquarium. At the store, they asked questions of the experts who work there, made observations, and drew pictures of the saltwater and freshwater fish they saw.

In the classroom, fish abound, as the children turned their dramatic play center into an aquarium and used different materials to create “fish” for the space.

Throughout the fall, the kindergarteners wrote about their experiences and made representations – drawings, models, sculptures, and paintings – of their new learning and understandings, which are on display in the class.

To see the children grow in self-confidence and pride as they become experts in their project work is truly satisfying. As Kindergarten teacher Lesley Sheldon explains, “It’s spectacular to see five year olds and even four and three year olds doing this type of work. Because if they’re excited about learning now, just think about the possibilities as they journey through their middle school years, their high school years, and obviously through those post high school years as well.” The Project Approach is an ideal way to encourage learning, as Lesley explains, “Project Approach is in-depth.

It’s thoughtful. It’s fabulous, and it’s fun.”

MS Nature Club Corresponds with Divers who Clean the Ocean Earlier this year, a group of 5th graders decided that they wanted to form a Nature Club. They usually meet with Middle School Librarian Anne Mild in the library during morning break one day a week and are very passionate about environmental justice. They are especially concerned with the oceans, and have been learning about marine debris removal efforts in Florida and the Hawaiian Islands.

One group that does marine debris removal dives in the Florida Keys, DiveN2Life, is made up of both adults and children. Their goal is to educate students about the ocean and help them to become citizen scientists through dives and data recording. Anne reached out to the education director of this organization who then indicated that if the girls sent them letters, their students would write back.

Excited by this opportunity, the girls immediately went to work writing letters. Some of their letters say thank you to the kids and adults who help keep our oceans clean, some ask about marine life (especially cnidarians) that the 5th graders have been learning about in science class with Middle School Science Teacher June Gentilcore, and some ask other questions about diving and the ocean. www.StoneRidgeSchool.org | 19

A YEAR OF Intellect Stone Ridge to Award Seal of Biliteracy to Students Stone Ridge is thrilled to now award the Seal of Biliteracy to students who have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation. The Seal is a national initiative; currently 33 states and the District of Columbia have approved the Seal. The state of Maryland instituted its Seal in 2016, the state of Virginia in 2015 and DC in 2014.

Dr. Jeanne Downey-Vanover, Assistant Head of the Upper School and Head of World Languages, recognizes the benefits of achieving the Seal.

“As members of an international network of schools,” Jeanne explains, “Stone Ridge students are aware of the power that knowledge of a second language holds, both linguistically and culturally.”

The Seal of Biliteracy is awarded to the student who has achieved a high level of proficiency in English and a second language, whether a heritage language or a language acquired in a classroom setting. Biliteracy is a globally recognized asset and the Seal rewards students who achieve written, spoken and cultural competence in two languages.

Upper School Spanish Teacher Marisela MontielBodelle sees the Seal as a multifaceted benefit to students. “The Seal of biliteracy holds a place of pride for the student,” Marisela explains. “It awards the student's intellectual abilities, as well as her performance in the four language skills: reading, speaking, writing and listening. It recognizes her intellectual curiosity and appreciation for other cultures, honors her academic success throughout high school, as well as values the benefits of being bilingual.

The student will carry her skills forward as she becomes a global citizen.”

“As members of an international network of schools, Stone Ridge students are aware of the power that knowledge of a second language holds, both linguistically and culturally.”

Stone Ridge is the first Catholic school in Maryland to award the Seal of Biliteracy.

We work to support and increase our community’s awareness, understanding, inclusion, cooperation, and celebration of all its members. Our commitment to the diversity of our student body includes our desire to present a healthy representation of diversity in the composition of faculty, staff, administration, and trustees, and likewise reflected in our curriculum.

MIDDLE SCHOOL The Middle School hold Diversity Club meetings for Grades 5&6 and Grades 7&8, respectively, once a rotation. This Club, led by Middle School faculty facilitators, provides a space for students to learn and safely share their feelings, questions, and concerns about DEI in our School and the world. The Club helps provide a time and space for students interested in diversity and social justice to pose questions and process issues with individuals with like-minded students. Students also attend local full-day Diversity Leadership Conferences. They bring their knowledge back to the school community in a number of ways including Mix-It-Up Day and assemblies about microaggressions and anti-bullying.

DIVE

New to her role this year, Michelle Black serves as the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The mission of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program at Stone Ridge is to advance understanding and respect among people of all cultures, religions, and races. This program aims to improve inter- and intra-group relations by creating brave spaces for dialogue; training inclusive student leaders, faculty members, and administrators by highlighting the benefits of diversity; and building bridges of understanding and respect among our different members of the Stone Ridge community. The School’s understanding of diversity is not limited to race and ethnicity, but rather a recognition that all individuals experience the world through various dimensions, such as age, ethnic heritage, gender, mental/physical abilities, and characteristics, race and sexual orientation. The dimensions can also include communication style, education, family status, first language, geographic location, income, military experience, organizational role and level, work experience, expertise, and work style.

When visiting the Stone Ridge fine arts department, one is struck by the cozy space —originally dormitory housing for Sacred Heart Religious—which has been retrofitted for photography students.

The space is limited, to say the least, but the students are making the most of its every inch.

Charlotte Mensforth and Katie Musca?

The office of Katya Balaban, Chair of the Fine Arts Department and Upper School Visual Arts and Photography teacher, serves as the unofficial “clubhouse” for the department. She enthusiastically chats of girls who spend every spare minute in the space and her office’s open-door policy. According to Katya, “Students enjoy being able to step into the artistic world where they can decompress, while being productive, and come away with amazing art.”

SARAH SLIMP ‘19 spent two weeks last summer

While many of Katya’s students go on to major or minor in art in college, some use their photography skills learned at Stone Ridge as a lifelong creative outlet. AUDREY CIBEL ‘19 said that once she found her voice as a photographer, she was inspired to build her own photography studio at home. Audrey, who plans to major in photography and hopes to have a career in fashion photography, loves the space. “It’s a safe space I can come to in order to create and receive criticism on my art,” she explains.

Katya emphasizes that arts education, in whatever form, helps students gain confidence and boost self-esteem.

“The girls blossom as they create beauty and express themselves through art.”

documenting children living on the border between Ukraine and the Russian war zone. Armed with her firsthand accounting of their experiences, she recently held her first show downtown where she raised more than $1,000 to fund a two-week camp session for 30 children. “Without Mrs. Balaban’s guidance and help, I wouldn’t have the knowledge and preparation to put my own show together.”

With the soon-to-launch Cor Unum campaign and the substantial changes to the physical campus, Katya is excited for the opportunity to grow the arts program. One of her biggest goals is to build See "Photography" continued on page 25 www.StoneRidgeSchool.org | 23

"I spent two weeks last summer in Ukraine, including two days with a camp called 'For the Right to Life' and a day exploring the ghost towns left after the catastrophic nuclear accident in Chernobyl. Despite the language barriers, I was determined to interact and build emotional connections with the children at the camp and the people of Chernobyl, so that I would be able to document and share their plights with the broader community. I recorded the deeply moving and thought-provoking accounts of their lives so that I could speak to what the people of Ukraine have experienced, indeed, are still experiencing. Being accepted so readily into the communities has filled me a sense of responsibility to tell their stories and has served to deepen my commitment to the cause of Social Justice.

ARTS at STONE RIDGE "Photography" from page 23 up the travel program, which includes day trips to the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia as well as international trips to countries like Italy and Ireland.

Katya describes these travel experiences as “working trips” where students learn how to view art and sketch, photograph, and create 3D art. The rotating travel curriculum is something that sets Stone Ridge apart from other schools in the area.

Last spring, several photography students honed their skills in Italy by attending the “Venice Through a Lens,” travel program offered by Stone Ridge. While in Italy, the students’ days were packed with educational tours and photo tutorials. Lessons focused on architectural photography; street photography; Venice at night during which they used their painting-with-light techniques; reflections photography using the water surrounding Venice; and portrait projects, which allowed students to create images of each other in the unique environment of Italy. The girls also visited Murano, Florence and Verona.

Of the trip CHARLOTTE MENSFORTH said, "My trip to Venice was spectacular and an incredible experience filled with adventures and learning experiences. This majestic city overflowed with creativity and water. The most magical night in Venice was in St. Mark’s Square when the entirety of it flooded with water and we went with our tripods and flashlight to paint upon the water.

Being exposed to the people and the architecture was a reality that I hope to partake in again and for many other to have similar experiences as the one I did."

See "Photography" continued on page 26

KATYA CAVANAUGH '19 found the

trip to be life changing, "My experience in Venice will stay with me for the rest of my life, as it developed my cultural awareness."

ROBERTS '18 also enjoyed meeting new friends while exploring new photography techniques. "Going to Venice was an amazing experience; it was my second time there, but I had a completely different perspective since I was there as a photographer.”

ARTS at STONE "Photography" from page 25

Katya emphasizes that photography teaches students to pay close attention to detail and to see the world from a different perspective. She warns her students, “If you look through the viewfinder and see something you’ve seen before, don’t take that picture!”

Another unique aspect of the Stone Ridge photography program is that it is crosscurricular. Katya notes that photography was invented by chemists, so students explore how the two disciplines overlap.

Additionally, in a history-photography crossover, students visit the Library of Congress to study original daguerreotypes from the Civil War by Mathew Brady and photos of Yosemite by Ansel Adams – images that had a major impact on public perception of important issues of the day such as environmental preservation, war, child labor, and women’s rights. Katya cautions “never underestimate” the power of photographic images.

In looking toward the future of the program Katya “wants to bring together students from across the independent school community to establish the program as the area leader in the visual arts space.” As the Stone Ridge community embarks on the historic Cor Unum campaign and eventual construction phase, Katya looks forward to a much more functional space which will allow her to better accommodate more students in the ever-growing art program.

Additionally, she says that gallery space is at the top of her wish list. “Having space to display art work will allow students and visitors alike to be surrounded by and inspired by the talent within our art program. Says a smiling Katya, “we’ve outgrown our space, which is a very good problem to have.”

Photo of The Mowgli’s by Josie Roberts ‘18 for the Harvard Crimson

Josie Roberts ‘18 has taken the photography skills she honed at Stone Ridge to Harvard, where she is a staff photographer for the Harvard Crimson. While at Stone Ridge, Josie built a remarkable portfolio of photographs that she showed to the Crimson staff during her first semester as a freshman in hopes of competing for a staff photographer position. The Crimson staff were so impressed with her work they said there was no need for her to compete for the position – inviting her to join the Crimson solely on the basis of her Stone Ridge portfolio.

JURIED ART EXHIBITION Stone Ridge hosted the Third Annual Winter Independent Schools Juried Exhibition for high school students from December 6, 2018 through January 6, 2019. The Exhibition brings together students from Stone Ridge, Georgetown Prep, Landon, National Cathedral School and St. Albans and gives them an opportunity for sharing their experiences and artwork. An outside juror judged the students' work and awards were given at the opening reception, held in the brick corridor on December 6.

Athletics at STONE RIDGE STUDENT ATHLETES COMPETE IN UNIQUE SPORTS When it comes to athletics in high school one usually thinks of common sports such as field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, or track and field. While there are plenty of Stone Ridge girls competing in these traditional sports, we also have a few students taking on not-so-common athletic endeavors:

Linnea Forsberg '21 – Sailor Linnea Forsberg '21 has been sailing since the young age of seven and competing in regattas since nine. Last summer, she pushed her own boundaries by sailing with the Annapolis Yacht Club’s Travel Race Team. As one of two girls on a co-ed team of 14 kids, she practiced in the Chesapeake Bay off Annapolis for two weeks prior to traveling to regattas in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

The regattas ranged in size and ability, and were open to competitors from throughout North America. Notable competitions were Junior Olympics, Nationals, and North Americans.

On her participation with the team, Linnea reflects, "Being a girl in a male-dominated sport has taught me to be strong and confident, even when people tell you that you are not. Criticism and failure toughened me, and showed me how

to learn from my mistakes, adapt, and overcome.

Overall, I had the best summer ever and would do it all again in a heartbeat!"

Sailing is an adventure for Linnea. “My favorite part is the community and all of the amazing friends I make. I still keep in contact with everyone I met this summer. I also love how we travel and visit new places all over the east coast.”

Linnea and her sailing partner are planning to compete in the Midwinters regatta in Jensen Beach, FL in February.

Zoe Barnette '19 – Fencer Zoe Barnette '19 has fenced for 11 years. She started in first grade in an after school program at her elementary school in Austin, Texas. She’s competed in multiple national tournaments called North American Cups (NAC) and, in the summer of 2018, was the team captain and took first place in the Senior Women’s Foil Team event at Summer Nationals in St. Louis, MO. When asked what about fencing she likes she responds, “My favorite part of fencing is the competitive atmosphere and how it forces me to grow both my mental and physical capabilities.

Fencing is unique in how it strongly requires quick and logical thinking as well as constant physical activity. Being able to do this and compete against others who do the same is incredible.”

Lauren Ferridge ‘19 – Rugby Star Lauren Ferridge ‘19 learned to play rugby when she was just seven years old, playing with the Barnes Rugby Football Club Mini team in Barnes, London, England. She currently plays with the Maryland Exiles.

“My favorite part about rugby, aside from the thrill of game play – specifically tackling, scrumming, and rucking – is the camaraderie and community that is rugby culture. Some of my best friends and memories are from playing rugby and spending time with my teammates, but also some of my best friends play for our rival team. Even though we spend 70 minutes beating each other up, after the game and outside the sport we are still great friends.”

Last spring, Lauren’s team, which consists of girls from around the state of Maryland, won the Northeast Regional Cup Tournament.

They competed against Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin and the team won the whole tournament despite being a few players down in each game and it being 90+ degrees both days. www.StoneRidgeSchool.org | 31
