Welcome

Welcome!

Dear Friends,

As we begin our third year as a Marianist-sponsored high school, I look back at the past two plus years and realize just how blessed we are to be part of the Marianist Family. This year in particular is a special year for the Marianists as 2019 marks the 200th Anniversary since the Society of Mary became engaged in education.

The first school was opened in Bordeaux, with the first full school year starting on November 3, 1819.

Today, formal Marianist education reaches five continents and 24 countries, and serves more than 112,155 young people across the world. Again, we are extremely blessed to be part of the formal Marianist education.

We will continue to strive to live, teach, and lead through the Characteristics of Marian Education, springing from the foundational charism of our Marianist founder William Joseph Chaminade.

The Characteristics of Marianist Education are as follows: • Educate for formation in faith Impart the principle that each person has an ethic and moral responsibility for his or her personal and social world • Provide an integral, quality education Develop respect for the dignity of the person as a daughter or son of God, unique and individual • Educate in family spirit Influence others by exhibiting the Marian traits for openness, hospitality,graciousness and faith • Educate for service, justice, and peace Promote adult and student programs that help in understanding and appreciation of differences among people • Educate for adaptation and change Educate persons to accept and respect differences in a pluralistic society My hope is that our faculty, staff and students will become deeper entrenched in what it means to live through the Marianist characteristics. I invite all of you to consider attending our Marianist retreat here at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School on Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 9 am – 5 pm with a 4 pm Vigil Mass. The cost is $20 per person. This one day retreat will provide you with a better understanding of what it means to be Marianist.

In closing, I ask that you please plan to visit us here at 15 North Maple Street. I promise you will like what you see. Thank you for your continued support of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, “A Catholic School in the Marianist Tradition.”

God Bless.

Legacy

Leave a legacy at St. Vincent-St. Mary St. Vincent-St. Mary is blessed with a history of generous, unwavering support from alumni and friends. Gifts of all amounts are important in our efforts to fulfill our educational mission rooted in the Gospel “to enlighten and inspire through Catholic education.”

There are many ways to make a gift in support of Catholic education at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. As you consider a gift, you may hear the term “planned giving” used. But what is planned giving, really? Aren’t all gifts “planned?" No one accidentally makes a gift, do they? Planned gifts are, however, different from an annual, outright gift. As the name implies, a good amount of thought and consideration precedes a planned gift. It may seem overwhelming but it does not have to be. Generous donors consult attorneys, accountants and professional advisors to construct a gift that, when properly structured, is mutually beneficial for both the donor and St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

Planned gifts may be outright gifts during the donor’s lifetime and can be funded with cash, appreciated securities, real estate and other personal property, and can accomplish a donor’s charitable goals, and can also have positive financial and tax implications for the donor, with the additional benefit of the donor being able to witness the positive effects of the gift at work. Often, planned gifts are deferred, or made upon the donor’s death via a will, trust or other estate planning vehicle and can be funded with cash, life insurance, IRA’s or other individual retirement vehicle. Such gifts can provide the added benefit of reducing estate tax and the ability to make a larger gift upon your death that might not have been possible during your lifetime. It is wise to make us aware of an estate commitment, or other deferred gift, to ensure that your intentions for your gift can be met to the fullest extent possible.

For more information about a planned gift to support St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, or to let us know of an estate commitment you have made, please contact Gino D’Andrea VM81 at gdandrea1@stvm.com or (330) 253-9113, ext. 152.

Academics

Dear STVM Community,

I am so happy to report to you that our students and faculty have begun the 2019-2020 school year with a great deal of enthusiasm and professionalism.

Our summer was extremely productive and has led to a positive start to our school year. Students and teachers traveled near and far to take advantage of exciting educational opportunities and participated in a variety of experiences.

New ideas and fresh perspectives are just two of the many benefits that have come from these varied opportunities (conferences, workshops, retreats, mission trips and camps) throughout the summer.

Our goal continues to be to enhance and give purpose to high school as well as have fun along the way. With the beginning of each school year, comes change and new initiatives. We are excited to announce the implementation of the House System at STVM for the 2020-2021 school year. The fundamental purpose of the house system is to divide the study body into small, permanent, faculty-led, cross-sectional components that promote and foster both learning and loyalty. STVM will be comprised of four houses increasing the opportunities for students to develop leadership skills through many new leadership positions. The official announcement was made to the faculty and the students mid-September. The creation of an announcement video, designed specifically for STVM, was a huge undertaking. It explains how the House System will transform the student experience at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in many positive arenas. In addition, there is a section of the STVM website devoted entirely to the House System. The video and additional resources can be located in that section. Current students and faculty members are meeting weekly in steering committees to design the House System to fit specific goals, our mission and the vision of STVM. We look forward to sharing more on this initiative as the year progresses.

Academically, STVM has consistently excelled and we are always looking for ways to enhance the academic opportunities for our students. Partnering with The University of Akron for a variety of educational experiences affords students at STVM a glimpse into opportunities beyond high school. The Research Experience continues to allow our students to be active participants in cutting edge research at the college level. A second exciting announcement this year is the addition of CCP (College Credit Plus) courses on the STVM campus. Beginning next fall, several CCP classes (through The University of Akron) will be offered during the school day and taught by STVM teachers. For students who take advantage of the CCP classes, this can be an exceptional value and cost saving opportunity for families of STVM students.

The 2019-2020 school year is underway and great things are happening! Please follow us on social media to stay up to date on the wonderful initiatives that our students and our faculty are involved in.

Sincerely

Kimberly A. Gorr

Marianist Summer LIFE - Soul On Fire

Ministry Freshman First Day

98 Big Sibs welcomed our 170 new freshman family members on the first day of school for the Class of 2023. The Marianist LIFE team taught them what it means to be Marianist by “Setting the Marianist Table" at a morning assembly. Big Sibs also interacted with their Little Sibs, walked them to class and at the end of the day helped to teach them some important STVM traditions and cheers.

Eight STVM students and three faculty members recently enjoyed a week-long experience called Marianist Summer LIFE (Living in Faith Experience) at the Bergamo Center for Life Long Learning in Beavercreek, Ohio. They spent their days building small faith communities, which included the sacraments, prayer, leadership development, and social justice education. The week was filled with a lot of fun and building of lifelong friendships!

Respect Life Day

Eight of our students traveled to Cleveland on October 1 for the Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice "Respect Life Day." They attended a Mass presided by Bishop Nelson Perez followed by a march through Cleveland to Public Square.

All-School & Friday Masses

We have enjoyed several all-school Masses during the first semester of the school year. Students are also invited to weekly Masses on Friday mornings at 7:15 in the Chapel!

Kairos 38

The first of our three Kairos retreats took place in early October. Kairos 38 welcomed 22 retreatants, ten student leaders and four adult leaders! Please pray for our K39 and K40 retreatants and leaders in February and March!

Class of We celebrated the STVM Class of 2019 as a school community at our Baccalaureate Mass at St. Sebastian Church on May 22 and at Graduation at the Akron Civic Theatre on May 29. Both events were held in beautiful, historic venues, which added to the tradition of both occassions. We would like to thank all who played a role in making these two events memorable for all involved.

Most importantly, we would like to thank and congratulate all of the seniors who gave so much to STVM during the last four years. As a school, we pride ourselves in being a family. Students will graduate and leave the physical building, but they will always be a part of the family and the tradition.

172 graduates. Over $16 million in college scholarships earned. 12 state-level competition send-offs in academics and athletics.

Student Launch

On Thursday, October 3, STVM Science Teacher and Student Launch Advisor Mr. Bob Engels received news that the STVM Student Launch team's proposal had been accepted by NASA. This confirms that they will once again be competing as one of the select few high schools in the United States at the NASA Student Launch Competition in Huntsville, Alabama in April 2020. This will be the team's sixth trip in seven years.

STVM is one of only two high schools in Ohio to qualify for this elite competition and one of only 64 college/university, high school or middle school institutions in the United States that will be participating.

The NASA Student Launch Challenge engages students in a research-based, experiential exploration activity. Teams participating in the challenge must design, build and launch a reusable rocket with a scientific or engineering payload, capable of reaching an altitude of one mile. To qualify, eligible schools’ students must write a proposal based on NASA's Statement of Work and Request for Proposal and be selected as with any other competitive bidding process.

The STVM Student Launch Team is made up of 15 students ranging from sophomores to seniors. They started working on their proposal for the 2020 NASA Student Launch Competition in June of 2019. After several months of work, they submitted their near 50-page proposal to NASA. Over the next several months leading up to the competition in April, they will be putting their theories into practice.

Congratulations to Mr. Engels and the Student Launch Team for their hard work in achieving this amazing goal!

Preliminary Design Review In early November, the 2019-2020 Student Launch team went through their preliminary design review with NASA. The review went even better than expected. The NASA team was impressed with their progress. Best of luck to these students as they continue their journey to the NASA SL Competition in Alabama this spring.

While there, the students assisted in the construction of the neighborhood school, building an additional classroom for the high school students. In addition to construction work, the students regularly interacted with the elementary and high school students inside and outside of the classroom. Sightseeing and a bit of fun were a part of each day as well! STVM is partnered with International Samaritan, an NGO that has served “dump communities” in Central America for over 20 years.

In June 2020, students and staff will be traveling to Riverton, Jamaica! During that week, the group will collaborate with a local community in order to complete a construction project on the school, tutor school children in the area and visit various parts of the beautiful countryside.

Norm Douglas, who many of us remembered from the 1960’s at U of A, said a quick prayer and dinner began. Dennis Marks shared a few memories, mostly humorous stories about us kids, and concluded with leading us all in singing our alma mater, 'On Top a Hill in Akron.' We can’t wait for our next celebration… our 75th birthday party. Stay tuned!"

Alumni Visit

Patrick Vassel VM03

On Wednesday, October 16, Patrick Vassel VM03 came back home to Maple Street to interact with STVM students, staff and community members about his journey from Akron to New York City as the Associate Director of the hit musical Hamilton. The afternoon started with an hour-long social in the STVM Theater. Once the speaking event started, Patrick talked briefly about where he has been and the impact each of those places, the people he has come in contact with and institutions in which he has been a part of have had on his life. He wanted the event to be more of an interactive conversation, so he took questions for the full hour and a half that he was on stage. Audience members asked a wide-range of questions, which Patrick answered with sincere depth.

We could not be more proud of Patrick for all that he has accomplished and how he has represented St. Vincent-St. Mary. We would like to thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to interact with us. We would also like to thank the people who came to listen and interact with Patrick on what ended up being a very special day!

In Memory In May of 2019, Taylor Ceepo VM15 passed away unexpectedly at the age of 22 while she was running the Cleveland Half Marathon. Her death was caused primarily by undiagnosed cardiomyopathy. Taylor was an outstanding student graduating from Walsh University and preparing for medical school, a life-long dream. The friendships she made through high school, college and her club soccer team were priceless to her. Taylor’s smile and upbeat personality brought love and joy to everyone that she touched.

On Saturday, September 28, St. Vincent-St. Mary celebrated the life of Taylor. Taylor's family, friends, teammates and the STVM and Hoban Soccer teams gathered at the 50 yard line to come together as one in honor of Taylor. Taylor's life was celebrated through a moment of silence and a prayer by STVM Campus Minister Christine Spinner. Speeches were made by STVM President Tom Carone, STVM Girls Soccer Head Coach (Taylor's coach) Jud Hartman and Taylor's friend and current Assistant Girls Soccer Coach MaryBeth Thomas. The Ceepo family was then presented with Taylor's STVM Soccer jersey in a special frame.

The ceremony shifted to the scoreboard area of the stadium where a tree was planted in memory of Taylor. The tree acts as a symbol for Taylor - may the memory of her continue to grow and never be gone.

The evening concluded with a prayer from Fr. Norman Douglas from St. Vincent de Paul.

We would like to thank everyone who gathered in support of Taylor, the Ceepo family and the STVM community. 50% of all gate ticket sales will go to the Taylor Paige Ceepo Memorial Fund.

30 YEARS! 1989 State Baseball Champs The St. Vincent-St. Mary baseball team recognized the 30th anniversary of the 1989 State Championship Team on Saturday, May 11th vs.

Benedictine. Our VM89 Baseball State Champions were presented with throwback Irish jerseys. Thank you former coach, Dan Boarman V70 and current coach, Anthony Boarman for continuing to make us Irish proud on the field.

President's Reception

On Wednesday, August 28, STVM hosted its annual President's Reception as a way to thank all

of our generous and self-less Shamrock and Legacy Society donors. Our school would not thrive in the way it does without all of these people! Thank you to Student Council Executive Officers Quincy Powers and Desmond Manley for their wonderful speeches. We also would like to thank all of the Student Ambassadors who helped to welcome our special guests.

As a bonus, each table had a beautiful centerpiece that was grown in STVM's Victory Garden and hand-made by students from Mrs. Miller's Gardening class. Attendees were able to take home the centerpieces as a small gift of our student's appreciation!

GrandparentsDay

Our third annual Grandparents Day was held on Tuesday, October 22 Close to 300 grandparents of our students joined us to celebrate Mass and for a reception. Students were also able to take their grandparents on a tour of the school. We hope all of the grandparents enjoyed their day and getting a glimpse into their grandchild’s life at STVM.
