PRINCIPAL’S LETTER THE EMPOWERMENT OF YOUNG WOMEN IS AT THE CORE OF OUR VERY EXISTENCE…THROUGH YOUR UNFAILING GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT YOU HELP US SHOW THE WORLD THAT OUR MISSION IS AS RELEVANT TODAY AS EVER BEFORE. WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

SPRING 2018 Dear Alumnae, Parents and Friends, I am happy to write to you again at the close of another exciting academic year on “THE Hill”. I am delighted to report that contributions to TMLA during the 2016-2017 fiscal year totaled over $800,000. In addition, our incoming freshwoman Class of 2022 is 27% larger than the graduating Class of 2018 . Mary Louis is alive and thriving!

In this publication you will see not only the names of our generous donors, but also the remarkable achievements of “our girls”, both alumnae and current students. For over 80 years Mary Louis women have changed the world through their intelligence, passion, dedication and commitment to excellence. The world is truly a better place for having each of you in it.

Your generosity over the 2016-2017 academic year has made possible so many enhancements and improvements at TMLA. We were able to install Triumph Board technology throughout our campus. This year also saw the launch of TMLA’s new collaboration with Columbia University’s School of Engineering and the 2018 Commencement Exercises saw the awarding of our first diplomas bearing designation in a special field of study.

Some of the significant improvements which took place on our campus over the past year have included installation of enhanced security measures throughout our school buildings and campus.

2

In this ever changing world the safety and security of the young women entrusted to our care is of paramount importance, and your generosity has allowed us to ensure this. This summer will also see additional renovation work in the former Convent building to facilitate TMLA’s continued expansion.

TMLA remains committed to being an integral part of the lives of our alumnae and your families. To this end we have instituted several new events and opportunities for our alumnae to become reacquainted and involved in the life of TMLA today. You can find information about many of these exciting new ventures in the pages of this magazine.

The empowerment of young women is at the core of our very existence…through your unfailing generosity and support you help us show the world that our mission is as relevant today as ever before. We cannot thank you enough!

May God continue to bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

S. Kathleen McKinney CSJ, Ed.D.

KEY NOTE ADDRESS “ AS YOU GO ON TO COLLEGE, AND TO LIVE YOUR LIVES, FEEL SECURE THAT YOU’VE LEARNED AT MARY LOUIS WHAT YOU NEED TO THRIVE AND BE HAPPY. “ - JUSTICE SALIANN SCARPULLA ’79 JUSTICE OF THE NEW YORK SUPREME COURT

Good morning and congratulations. What a wonderful group of talented and well-prepared young women I see before me. And, in a few minutes, you will join a very special and select group, of which I am proudly a member – women who have graduated from The Mary Louis Academy.

My name is Saliann Scarpulla. I graduated from Mary Louis in 1979. Today, just a few short years later, I sit as a Justice on the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Other graduates of Mary Louis have gone on to succeed in so many fields - law, medicine, business, teaching, the arts, music, social work and social policy, to name a few. I’m confident that you, the class of 2017, will find your place in this world, as have the Mary Louis graduates before you.

We Mary Louis graduates have a special bond. We’ve gone to a high school that has a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence, inclusiveness, and commitment to its students.

Like some of you, I come from a family of immigrants. My grandparents were poor and did not speak English when they emigrated to the United States. My dad dropped out of school at age 12 to help support his family. Growing up, I lived in a neighborhood where not many people went to college.

For me, like maybe some of you, going to Mary Louis was a game changer.

At Mary Louis, I met young women from all different backgrounds and levels of income. In that beautiful campus off Hillside Avenue we were taught everything from how to titrate an unknown solution

8

to how to drive a car. The academics were rigorous. We took European Literature, Calculus and Organic Chemistry. In fact, one of my toughest teachers at Mary Louis is sitting right on this stage. Your principal, Sister Kathleen McKinney, was my 11th grade physics teacher. She was fierce, smart and demanding of her students, but in the nicest possible way! And I hear that she hasn’t changed.

And while the academics at Mary Louis were, and are still, first rate, the most meaningful things I learned were not contained in a formula or a book passage. At Mary Louis, the students were, and are, taught to be ourselves, whoever that is – to learn with passion, and to live our lives with humanity and compassion. Those lessons have been the backbone of my being and they will be the backbone of yours too. As you go on to college, and to live your lives, feel secure that you’ve learned at Mary Louis what you need to thrive and be happy.

Lastly, women of the Class of 2017, you are so lucky to have met each other and formed friendships here that will last you a lifetime.

The friends I made at Mary Louis are still some of my closest friends. And almost every week, I meet someone who went to Mary Louis, or whose child is a student here. Feel secure that you now have a worldwide network of Mary Louis people upon whom you can rely for assistance and companionship.

Mary Louis Class of 2017, your sister graduates, past and present, are, and always will be, with you and rooting for you.

Congratulations again and God bless you.

MARIEL AFTER & 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

VALEDICTORIAN’S ADDRESS JANET IS CURRENTLY STUDYING MOLECULAR BIOLOGY & NEUROSCIENCE AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY. In a matter of four short years, we have been transformed from girls to women. And if you don’t know the change I’m talking about, just take a look at your student ID picture from freshmen year, for example.

Good Morning Sister Kathleen McKinney, Mrs. Ann Cordes, Mrs. Jeanne Altenau, Honorable Saliann Scarpulla, Ms. Kathleen Christman, Mrs. Maria Venturino, Members of the Faculty, Family, Friends, and members of the Class of 2017.

Today, in just a matter of minutes, the Class of 2017 will walk across this stage and be presented with diplomas as a token of all their hard work and dedication during the past four years.

Yet as we await this moment, we must remember that we did not get to this day on our own.

Thank you to our teachers for all your efforts so that we could be sitting here today in our caps and gowns. We sincerely appreciate your coming in early in the morning, giving up your lunches, and staying after school to help us when we were stuck and reassure us when we started to doubt ourselves.

This class has been an outstanding class. We accumulated over 44 million dollars in scholarship money. In our years at Mary Louis, we donated more than 100,000 hours in volunteer initiatives, pulled off multiple surprise parties, won Spirit Week twice in a row. Our distinguished athletic programs brought home state and local championships. Our phenomenal art students earned gold key scholastic awards, and our various student organizations like The Mariel outdid themselves in representing our school. Our culture clubs put together a gorgeous Cultural Harmony event. Our Speech and Debate team flourished in winning countless awards on a national, state and local level.

Yet our journey at The Mary Louis Academy was not without obstacles. We survived blizzards, a research paper that gave everybody sleep deprivation, tests, Edline and perhaps most impressively- the Common Core. It is this resilience that gives me complete faith that every single one of the Class of 2017 is off to do great things.

I believe that this room contains the most renowned doctors, the greatest nurses, the leading lawyers, the most successful CEOs. And for those who don’t know what they want to do yet, I’m sure they’ll be the best at whatever they decide to do. With our resilience and dedication, we can amount to just about anything. We hold the key to making this world a better place.

Thank you to the administration for all that you have done to ensure us the best educational experience at The Mary Louis Academy.

Thank you to Mr.Cherry for saying good morning to us every single morning to start our day off on a good note. And last but not least, thank you to our parents and families for dealing with our craziness and late nights, for listening to us when we complained, for supporting and loving us throughout everything.

I know I speak for each one of us today who would like to thank the Class of 2017 – my sisters - for being so welcoming and friendly -for being so helpful when one of us struggled - for being so positive and supportive when we doubted ourselves. We would not be here without the special character of this Class of 2017.

Class, we made it! Think about how far we have come, individually and as a class. Looking back to freshmen year, it seems like it was just yesterday. There was the first orientation, the first class, the first scantron. Now look at us, we may still make mistakes on our scantrons, but we have definitely matured physically and intellectually.

And before we go on with the rest of our lives, I would just like to reiterate what Ms. Christman always says to us: “Remember to find joy in your lives” because you deserve nothing less than absolute happiness.

MARIEL AFTER & 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

We are grateful for all the memories and lastly for being “family”.

Congratulations Class of 2017!

I credit TMLA with helping me become the woman I am today and teaching me additional values that helped me be a better mom and person. I was angry with my parents when they said I had to attend TMLA just because I wanted to do something different, but they were right as usual and I’m proud to be an alumna.

Going to The Mary Louis Academy was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I form some of the strongest bonds I’ve ever experienced, I also learned my own strengths and worth. I’m proud of the woman I’ve become and that’s due in large part to my time at TMLA. – NORA BRADY ’04

What a special educational experience it was going to Mary Louis. It reinforced for me how important it was to pursue higher goals and be a confident leader and not to take a back seat to any male colleagues, whether students or fellow employees. We learned to set exacting standards for ourselves and to have high expectations for all around us, and we learned how to be women of faith and service in the world. Thank you.

Going to this high school was the best decision I’ve ever made. This school fosters friendships that last for years after graduation and provides a supportive environment that you don’t realize until much later is imperative for young women of that age. The type of woman that comes out of TMLA is one with values who you rarely find anywhere else. The young women you go through school with here become an eternal family to you. It really is a place of unity.

TMLA has made me the woman I am today and for that I say, thank you.

I have so many reasons to support my alma mater. After spending many years in the work force in various business environments, I can easily tell which employees had a strong, solid, meaningful education and which ones did not. If I had a daughter, I would wish for her to attend TMLA. I enjoy seeing the Facebook posts from friends who are still involved with TMLA because their daughters are currently attending. We had great teachers, a great learning environment, and at the core, a shared faith that also unfortunately is lacking in much of the younger generation.

I don’t believe I appreciated at the time how important growing up in a faithful and religious community could be, but I surely now appreciate the effort that first my parents, then TMLA, put into ensuring I was surrounded and engaged by the love of the Lord. My prayers are with you for continued success and growth!!!

I can honestly say that I am not sure I would have made it through my teenage years without TMLA - dramatics aside, the Art Cottage and Glee Club saved my life. This school gave me a confidence and a strength that I lacked when I first walked through those doors as a Fresh(wo)man. The woman I left as was unrecognizable to 14 year old me. I am so thankful to all of the teachers and to all of the beautiful women I met there during those 4 wonderful years.

THANK YOU TO OUR SUSTAINER DONORS 2016-2017 Have you ever not made a gift to TMLA because you felt it would be “too small” to make a difference? Have you ever wanted to make a larger gift but it’s just too much to do at one time? Have you ever intended to make your gift to TMLA but simply forgot to send it in? You might be interested in our Sustainer Donor program. When you become a Sustainer Donor you provide TMLA with your credit or debit card information and authorize us to deduct an amount of your choosing each month.

In this way some alumnae have found that by having $10 a month automatically deducted turned into a yearly gift of $120. Having $100 a month deducted turns into a yearly gift of $1,200…13% of a full year’s tuition! This unique form of generosity also helps to provide TMLA with a continual stream of revenue we can rely on when planning and implementing new advancements and programs!

Thank you to the following Sustainer Donors: T. Elaine Adamson ’54 Natalie Monteau Bazile ’96 Laura Brennan Breen ’95 Ms. Cristal Brown Barbara A.

THANK YOU TO OUR SISTERS “The touch of their religious zeal, their devotion to Catholic education, their splendid character and ladylike

culture is to be found in many aspects of our schools. They take up their duties with the flush of youth, they hold to them to the very end of their lives. It is a service of the heart that cannot be measured in terms of money. Out in

the vastness of secular life they would command much attention and high salaries. It is our striking privilege that they have pledged themselves to consecrated lives and pass long years in the various pursuits of education, charity and the empowerment of young women for which we reap such fame.”

THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH, WHO THROUGH THEIR CONTRIBUTED SERVICE ENABLED TMLA TO DEFRAY THE COST OF OVER $1,000,000 IN SALARIES AND BENEFITS DURING THE 2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR.

TRIUMPH BOARDS INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT TMLA CAMPUS

CELEBRATING MRS. LILLIAN CALLANAN’S 95TH One of the many projects which your generous donations helped TMLA achieve was the purchase and installation of TRIUMPH Boards in every classroom, laboratory and resource center in each building throughout our campus. TRIUMPH Boards are interactive flat panels that meet our students’ ever-evolving needs and will enable them to perform at the next level! This latest advance in technology will allow our students to interact directly with their teachers and become "part of " the lesson via their TMLA issued iPad’s.

The TRIUMPH Board slogan "One Idea Ahead" is so perfectly suited to TMLA’s pedagogical practices for more than 80 years. We are so grateful to all of our donors who have made this tremendous leap forward possible. You truly help us live up to our belief that "nothing is too good for our girls"!

On October 4, 2017, we were honored to help our longest serving faculty member, Mrs. Lillian Callanan, celebrate her 95th birthday!

Lillian has worked in the Department of Science and Resource Centers at TMLA since 1970! Lillian is also the proud mother of three TMLA “girls” herself…Lillian Callanan Spiess, Esq. ’76, Bobbi Callanan ’77 & Joanie Callanan Schmidt ’81.

KATHLEEN M. COMERFORD, PH.D. ’84 PUBLISHES NEW BOOK Kathleen M. Comerford, Ph.D. ’84 published a new book Jesuit Foundations and Medici Power, 1532-1621. This work focuses on the cooperation between the last Medici state and the Society of Jesus, spanning nearly a century, concentrating on the Jesuit foundations in Florence, Siena, and Montepulciano. As the Medici built and centralized their power in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, they sought to control both the civic and religious behavior of their citizens.

MARIEL AFTER & 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

They found partners in the Jesuits, whose educational program helped to establish social order and maintain religious orthodoxy. Via a detailed investigation of both minor and major Italian Jesuit colleges, and of multiple Medici rulers, Kathleen provides insight into church/state cooperation in an age in which both institutions underwent significant changes.

Arielle Benjamin ’06

IS CURRENTLY VOLUNTEERING IN THE PEACE CORPS, ALMOST A YEAR IN TO HER TWO AND A HALF YEAR JOURNEY OF SERVICE AND DISCOVERY. WE’VE BEEN FOLLOWING HER POWERFUL EXPERIENCE ON HER BLOG, AND IT IS INSPIRING TO READ HER ANALYSIS OF THE DAY TO DAY LIFE IN ECUADOR, AND HOW ARIELLE RELATES IT TO HER FUTURE CAREER, HER LIFE, HER FAITH, AND THE WORLD AT LARGE.

The work she is doing in the Peace Corps working for the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health has a focus on healthy living through sustainability.

Arielle earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Howard University in 2010, and her Masters in Sustainable Engineering from Villanova University in 2013. Before making the decision to enter the Peace Corps, she worked for the Dow Chemical Company as an engineer, working on a sustainability initiative at two of the company’s plants involving potable water supply and storage.

When mentioning that she was on TMLA’s Speech and Debate Team, Arielle spoke both of her need to develop a specific language set to ensure her success in her profession, but also the importance of the use of accessible language to make sure you’re understood.

It is clear that Arielle has an awareness of intersectionality that we can all benefit from.

“We can answer more questions if everyone is at the table,” she shared passionately. That spirit of all-inclusiveness is one we certainly foster and celebrate here in the TMLA community.

A storyline in the movie Hidden Figures (a new favorite of Arielle’s), where Katherine Johnson is continually running across campus to a building that has a restroom for black women, resonated with Arielle’s college experience. In this day and age, there is still just one bathroom for women in Howard University’s engineering building. There is clearly some advocacy work still to be done, and serving as Chairperson for the National Society of Black Engineers Regional Leadership Conference, as a counselor and teacher in afterschool and discovery programs, and now in the Peace Corps, we know that Arielle is tying that advocacy into her work both at home and worldwide.

Having grown both professionally and personally, Arielle now looks back with the understanding that it’s ok not to know your voice when you’re entering high school. She spent a long time on the sidelines, but she does not feel like she was held back by it, because TMLA was a safe space, and Arielle knew that as soon as she was ready, she could use her voice. At another school, she might have been invisible, but here at TMLA, she was recognized and was not derailed or deterred while becoming comfortable with what she had to say. She has gained a unique insight in how to work with people through her experience. And she does have a unique insight; in a recent blog post, she shares, “these days, before I make my biggest decisions, I ask if what I’m doing adds beauty to the world, or just myself.”

We are so proud of Arielle, and are excited to see what is next for her!

TMLA ANNUAL ALUMNAE COLLEGE FAIR 58

TMLA CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO IMPLEMENT NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS OF PROVIDING OUR STUDENTS WITH EVERY TOOL NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN LIFE. One of TMLA’s newest endeavors is our Annual Alumnae College Fair held each December.

This unique college fair is open to all grade levels and provides our students with the opportunity to meet with an alumna who is currently attending the college of her choice. This is a truly wonderful chance for our young women to receive solid, trustworthy information on what each school is “really” like.

Thank you to the over 40 alumnae who returned in 2017 to help the young women who are following in their footsteps!

PRE-MED PROGRAM STUDENTS VISIT LENOX HILL HOSPITAL

Students from TMLA’s new Pre-Med Program were invited to visit Lenox Hill Hospital and tour their Physician Assistant program. During their visit to Lenox Hill, our young women learned how to take blood pressure and perform an ultrasound, and experienced a simulated medical emergency using a dummy – better known as Mr. Sim. They also learned about the history of the PA profession, which is now in its 50th year.

JOAN CAVANAGH ’71 RECEIVES DOCTORATE IN EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP Congratulations to one of “our girls”, Joan Cavanagh, Ph.D. ’71, on the conferral of her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Fordham University. Dr. Cavanagh serves as Director of Campus Ministry for Fordham University’s Westchester Campus. In this position Joan offers a warm and trusting welcome to all, a "home away from home" where students, faculty, and staff can always find a listening ear and understanding heart. Besides fulfilling particular responsibilities of maintaining and administering Fordham’s Chapel/worship space, Joan guides the Campus Ministry Office to provide pastoral counseling and spiritual direction upon request, worship in the community, teaching, organizing, offering support groups, responding to emergencies, and serves on University committees and as an academic adviser. In so doing, Joan helps to heighten the community’s awareness of God at work in our midst, and to dispose that same community to allow God’s Spirit to enliven us and bring to fruition our shared goals.

Joan’s wonderful efforts at Fordham have helped to engage students and the broader Fordham community in education through service for a just and equitable world. Under Joan’s leadership the office of Campus Ministry is committed to collaboration with community partners and to involvement with people who are marginalized, especially those who are materially poor. Joan’s work is truly inspired by, and flows from, the Jesuit Catholic educational mission at Fordham University that calls for a dynamic integration of academic excellence, social responsibility, and faith that serves justice…a mission that so closely parallels TMLA’s own.

We are so very proud of you Joan!

KICKING OFF TMLA’S FLORIDA ALUMNAE CHAPTER

60

In 1991 Stephanie DeNicola Turner ’95 & Maya Perez Varona ’95, met in Mrs. McGrath’s freshman English class at TMLA. In 2017 the friendship which sparked over 20 years ago became a light in the darkness for Maya, her husband and their 4 children, as they evacuated their home in Cocoa Beach, FL in advance of Hurricane Irma making landfall. With nowhere to turn, seemingly running for their lives, the Varona Family found a safe haven in Charlottesville, VA in the home of Stephanie and her family.

When asked what inspired her to offer shelter to her classmate in her time of need Stephanie simply said “Hilltoppers forever!” We are so proud of “our girls”!

On Saturday, March 25, 2017 nine TMLA alumnae gathered for lunch at the Waterfront Inn in The Villages, Florida to kick off the beginning of The Mary Louis Academy’s Florida Alumnae Chapter! It was a wonderful event as these “sisters” were thrilled to get together and share memories of their time at Mary Louis. They brought yearbooks, uniforms and a great enthusiasm! Each attendee received a gift bag containing a TMLA t-shirt, sunglasses, paperweight and the latest edition of the Mariel newspaper. The President of TMLA’s Florida Alumnae Chapter, Eileen Connolly ’75, provided them with an update on the new programs/ facility updates at TMLA.... and each woman went around to discuss where they came from and what they loved most about TMLA. The group spent almost three hours together, with many eager requests to schedule another event. In addition, one of the alumnae in attendance performs with a vocal group in The Villages and invited her TMLA “sisters” to a future performance.

REMEMBERING

SISTER JUDITH BURCHYNS WE AT TMLA MOURN THE PASSING OF ONE OF "OUR GIRLS", SISTER JUDITH BURCHYNS CSJ - TMLA CLASS OF 1957.

SISTER JUDY WAS A TRUE EDUCATOR IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. AFTER GRADUATING FROM TMLA SISTER JUDY EARNED A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AS WELL AS TWO MASTER’S DEGREES; ONE IN ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION AND THE SECOND IN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE.

Sister Judy taught elementary school children at Visitation School in Brooklyn, St. Teresa of Avila School in South Ozone Park, Saints Peter & Paul School in Brooklyn and Colegio Santa Teresita in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

After a 10 year career as a teacher Sister Judy made the move to administration, ultimately being chosen to serve as Principal of 5 different elementary schools; Colegio San Jose in San German, PR; Saints Cyril & Methodius School in Deer Park, NY; Academia San Ignacio in Rio Piedras, PR; St. John of God School and Our Lady of Providence Regional School, both in Central Islip, NY. In 1998 Sister Judy was appointed to serve as Principal of our CSJ "sister school", Academia Maria Reina in Ponce, PR. Sister Judy served in that position from 1998-2011 when she was appointed the Academy’s first President - a position she held until her retirement this past June.

In addition to her administrative roles at Academia Maria Reina, Sister Judy was also chosen to serve as the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Vicar for Puerto Rico from 2011 - 2016: a ministry first begun by the Sisters under the auspices of our founder, Mother Mary Louis herself.

TMLA ENGINEERING WEEK

FOSTERING CURIOSITY AND INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING 66

MARIEL AFTER & 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

TMLA Women in Engineering Week is an intensive week long experience designed to inspire young women to explore many fields of engineering – Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Biomedical, Electrical, Chemical, Computer, Software and Environmental.

TMLA’s program is open to young women who are entering the 8th Grade and our incoming class of freshwomen.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Engineers help shape the future.

Engineering unleashes the spirit of innovation. Engineers constantly discover ways to improve our lives. According to the National Science Foundation, only 11% of women in the United States are employed as engineers, this is a dismal statistic which TMLA has set out to improve. We hope to foster participants’ natural curiosity, to encourage, motivate and enlighten young women to the possibilities and rewards one can find in the field of engineering and to develop the spirit of innovation needed to engage with the many challenges of our time.

Cost: $150 per student. Please note, there will be no refunds for days missed. Payment can be made online via credit card or a check/ money order can be sent to:

On the final day the students tour engineering labs in a local undergraduate college. That afternoon, at an End-of-Program Celebration, families and friends are invited to watch students present their design projects and what they have learned during the week.

We are so grateful to Kathy Rutherford ’79 and Jo-Ann Panzardi ’84, who selflessly give of their time and talent to help make this program a success. We are also most grateful to S. Joan Killen CSJ and S. Grace Avila CSJ who help to coordinate this important program.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S OUTREACH TMLA is proud to announce our new collaboration with Columbia University School of Engineering.

As part of TMLA’s Engineering Program Yocheved Ungar, from Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, came to speak with our Engineering students. Yocheved gave an excellent presentation that extended the horizons of TMLA’s young women. Her topic of Spore-Based Engine Machines included a discussion about what spores are, how they harvest energy, what biophysics is, and the spore-based engine machines scientists are working with. Her presentation concluded with an understanding of what it takes to be a scientist. Yocheved also shared a little of her own academic background to help TMLA students who might be wondering about what path in science they will travel.

Questions and observations from students in the audience during the presentation and afterward clearly indicated their interest in what Yocheved was explaining to them.

TMLA’s students and faculty also visited Columbia University’s esteemed Fu Foundation for Engineering Sciences. Our group toured the Plasma Physics Lab where a professor who was a MacArthur Genius Award recipient discussed the use of plasma as an alternative energy source for future power plants to generate.

We are so grateful for this extremely beneficial relationship with Columbia University which has been fostered and aided by our very own Sister Grace Avila and Dr. Melissa Dowd Begg, TMLA Class of 1981 and a Trustee of The Mary Louis Academy. Melissa serves as Professor of Biostatistics and Vice-Provost for Academic Programs at Columbia University.

IN MEMORY OF

Nancy ScipioneCimino We at TMLA were honored to celebrate the beautiful life of one of "our girls", Nancy Scipione Cimino - Class of 1979. Nancy’s family and friends came together to create a beautiful garden on TMLA’s campus, planted with Nancy’s favorite flowers. This garden now serves as a place of quiet reflection for our students and a lasting memorial to the wonderful woman Nancy was.

May her spirit always remain to touch the young women who reflect at her garden, in the halls where young women follow her footsteps and, of course, at the phone-booth outside of the Cafeteria...where she found love and lifelong friends.

We remain so proud of "our girl". Requiescat in Pace Nancy...job well done!

RELIEF AFTER HURRICANE MARIA A tremendous “thank you” to all of our TMLA Family who so generously responded to our call to come to the aid of our sister school, Academia Maria Reina, in San Juan, PR. Like much of the island, the AMR community was truly devastated by the effects of Hurricane Maria. A portion of the monies donated were used to purchase new mattresses and bedding for the families of AMR, who lost all of their possessions in the hurricane. Thank you so very much for helping to show the families of Puerto Rico that their TMLA Family will always be there for them.

JORDAN NIXON

Congratulations to Jordan Nixon - TMLA Class of 2018 - on being named the 2018 Miss New York Basketball Award Winner. Jordan was selected at the end of a two part process which included voting by the Basketball Coaches Association of New York and committee deliberations. The BCANY is composed of basketball coaches from both the scholastic and collegiate level statewide. The Miss New York Basketball Award is the top award that a high school basketball player in the State of New York can receive.

Jordan has also been selected as a McDonald’s AllAmerican and has been nominated for other prestigious honors such as Gatorade Player of the Year, All-USA Team and All-USA Player of the Year. She has been honored as All-Queens, All-Brooklyn/Queens and All-New York City. This is the second year in a row one of TMLA’s students has been selected for the highly prestigious McDonald’s All-American Basketball Team. Jordan is one of only 50 young women from across the United States and Canada to be chosen for this high honor. Jordan excels not only on the court but also in the classroom and has already signed her letter of intent to attend Notre Dame University in the fall. Jordan joins her TMLA “sister” Danielle Patterson ’17 at Notre Dame.

In 2017 Danielle was also named a McDonald’s All-American and in 2018 helped lead Notre Dame Basketball to capture the NCAA Women’s Basketball Division 1 Championship….

Notre Dame’s first women’s national championship since 2001!
