A Letter From the President

Dear Friends, “Lead the way to unity, lend a hand and heart...serve the dear neighbor” At the beginning of every academic year we introduce a theme with the expectation that its message will weave its way into the life and spirit of our students, faculty, staff and administration. We hope it serves as a daily reminder, that all of us are bearers of our mission. Throughout the year we will seek new ways of uniting with God and one another. Please feel welcome to join us whenever you can to celebrate our mission. Each September the girls return to see something fresh or new at the Mount, and this year was no exception. When the students returned on September 7, 2010, they came up the driveway to see a new and expansive parking lot, complete with clearly marked driving patterns, sidewalks and lighting. Now, when you come to the Mount you will see the beauty and spaciousness of the campus at a single glance. This is truly an award-winning renovation; however, the motivating factor in the overhaul of the parking lot was the protection of our young women and guests as they moved throughout the campus. I am grateful that it is not only beautiful, but it is also a safer area for all to travel. I am pleased to announce a new feature for the Mount Magazine, beginning with this edition. Elizabeth R. Barker ’74, a skilled professional on wealth management, charitable giving, estate and tax planning, has offered, along with other experts, to share her knowledge and to answer questions you may have. The Alumnae survey indicated that this was an area of interest for a number of Alums, and who better to assist us into the future than one of our own. Not surprising is the story Margie King ’71 writes about shifting careers in mid-life. I am sure you will enjoy reading what led her to be a nutrition counselor. She is a part of a long tradition of women who are always looking and choosing the next best opportunity to develop and achieve their potential. A point of pride and an example of being a “founder” is Marci Schankweiler ’86. As president of Crossing the Finish Line she has enhanced the lives of so many people through her work of sending adult cancer patients and their families on a vacation of their choice during their illness. Join me in congratulating her on being named a Woman of Distinction, as well as being voted in as the Philadelphia Phillies representative “All–Stars Among Us” at the game this past summer. Also contained within this edition is our annual report. I am deeply grateful to all of you whose names appear within these pages. Your support of our mission strengthens our resolve to educate young women who will have the confidence, character and compassion to create their futures and make the world a better place. By the time you read this we will have celebrated Founders’ Day, a day dear to the heart of so many Mount students. Please know you were remembered in the liturgy with praise and thanksgiving for all you brought to the Mount as a student. This letter began with how the Mount students desire to extend their love and sense of community to all. Our blessings and selflessness, is the grace that sustains and creates new ways of making the mission of the Mount present. Let us be grace for one another in the coming year and always. God’s blessing,

Sister Kathleen Brabson, SSJ President

Mount Saint Joseph Academy Founders’ Day Reflection By Hillary Yeabsley ’11

AA

s we heard in the Gospel this morning, Jesus tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. But how do we do this? We must lend a hand and heart and serve the dear neighbor. It seems like yesterday that I heard my kindergarten teacher saying, “Hands are for helping, not for hurting.” Starting at preschool we are told that hands are for helping and kindness is key; such simple terms, but crucial parts of a thriving community. And again, as high school students, we are told to lend a hand and heart, to serve the dear neighbor. Simple enough, right? But who is my neighbor? My neighbor is a classmate who needs help on a homework assignment, a freshman who has trouble opening her locker, two girls sitting alone at a lunch table who would probably love to join yours, and even my best friend who is having a bad day. Each day, we encounter a myriad of opportunities to lend a hand to a neighbor, but do we? We’re all busy. Whether it’s sports, the play, CSC, robotics, mock trial, or academics, we do not go to a school that allows for copious amounts of free time. But we must make time for compassion, for it calls forth each of us, offering the gift of ourselves, including our time. Enough time to say, “How are you?” and listen to the answer. Enough time to talk to a girl you wouldn’t normally talk to because it looks like she’s having a bad day. Recently, I had one of those days, a day where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Despite my best efforts to keep it together, one of my friends realized I wasn’t myself. She stopped me in the hallway just to say, “I saw you looked pretty down at lunch. How are you? Is there anything I can do?” This small act of kindness was enough to brighten my day. It is the small things like this that build the spirit of the Mount community.

4

The little things are what add up to create the big picture, just how each part of the body supports the whole and just like we, as unique individuals, come together to make the Mount. Every one of us gathered here today brings something different, yet extraordinary. Every one of us is important. You don’t have to be number one in your class, you don’t have to have the lead in the play, you don’t have to be on a sports team, you don’t need to be an officer in a club. You need to be you, whoever that may be. God gave us each different talents so we could, in the words of Saint Paul, “use our gifts for the good of the community building up the body of Christ.” Everyone has their own special talents that make the Mount the great school that it is. We must not only lend a hand and heart to our closest neighbors at the Mount, but also to those we come to know beyond the Mount community. Spend a Thursday afternoon at La Salle Academy and get to know a vivacious fourth grader while helping him with his homework. I promise you will never forget the feeling of being able to help someone. My first trip to LaSalle Academy in freshman year I was paired up with a young boy named Juan. He told me that he didn’t like math, something we quickly bonded over, but I told him to get his long division homework out, anyway. I helped him work through the problems and seeing the smile on his face when he got a right answer is a memory I cherish. I will end with the words of Saint Paul, “I urge you to have a profound respect for one another.” If we do this, then we will make our mission of leading the way, lending a hand and heart to serve the dear neighbor, come alive. Thank you.

What I Did on my

Summer Vacation By Lindsay Parsons ’99

This past summer, Mount math teacher, Lindsay Parsons ’99, traveled to Grenada, Nicaragua, on a missions trip to lend a hand in the second-poorest country in the western hemisphere.

EE

zequiel Dias Mora calls Granada, Nicaragua, his home. This 18-year old young man faithfully sets out on a journey in the hot sun every Saturday morning that eventually ends at the city dump. The tiring expedition begins with a two-and-a-halfmile walk to the bus depot where he exchanges the few cordobas he has in his pocket for a half-hour ride in a dirty, over-crowded “chicken bus.” His smile widens as he reaches his stop that drops him at the end of a road lined with trash and riddled with muddy holes. He is almost there, and the few miles left to walk are the most exciting. Along this leg of the journey, eager children come out of houses that look like wood huts a strong wind could decimate. But they have anticipated Ezequiel’s coming and smile as they reach for his hand to hold. He smiles back, overjoyed to be spending time with his little friends. The journey continues and the group increases in number until they reach the dump. Today I am one of Ezequiel’s companions on the journey. Ezequiel’s friend, Oscar, our interpreter, Juan, and nine other friends from the US have come on this adventure. The stench of rotting trash penetrates our nostrils as we ascend the final hill to the dump. Countless crows sit on the massive pile of garbage as far as the eye can see. The relentless biting of flies and mosquitoes is overwhelming, but Ezequiel and the children don’t seem to notice. We were told prior to our arrival at the dump that many families actually live there and spend the hours of their

days routing through the trash to find enough food to survive. Experiencing their lives first hand, I simply could not fathom how anyone could or should have to call this place home. We ventured to the other side of the dump where we encountered some of those who really do live there. A million emotions seemed to be flooding through me, but peace prevailed at the thought that God was in control of everything. In the midst of great poverty and pain, Juan told the group of men and women that I was going to share something from the Bible with them. I was surprised when he said this because I had been asked to share with the children, but standing in front of me was a group of at least twenty adults. Soon the feeling of inadequacy melted away and I knew I didn’t have to worry because God had been preparing me. Throughout my life I am continually learning that He always equips us for the tasks He calls us to do. I said a quick prayer asking the Holy Spirit to speak though me, opened my Bible, and shared with them the redemptive grace of our Father, incomparable love of Jesus, and the incredible hope of heaven. When I said John 3:16 in Spanish everyone cheered, not expecting the “gringo” before them to speak in Spanish.


Mission Trip Happenings to Nicaragua

(Before I left the US I had memorized the verse and prayed for an opportunity to use it, but I was amazed that God gave me that opportunity the first day I was in Nicaragua.) Smiles appeared on formerly somber faces, and it was obvious that just as countenances were lifted, hearts were encouraged. Those who had always believed they had done something wrong to deserve the life they were living heard that God’s love doesn’t depend on circumstances or past behavior. Juan continued to encourage these precious people as more children approached our group, eager To avoid the mud in the road, children walk over piles of to play games and have fun. Ezekiel, Oscar, and trash getting to the dump. Juan sang songs with hand motions like “Father Abraham” as the rest of us clapped along. The dedication of these young men and women to serve those in children laughed and danced with glee. On this beautiful day I need in the name of Jesus. witnessed what I imagine Mother Theresa meant when she said, “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” It When I came back to the US and joined the rest of the faculty is so evident that Ezequiel understands that. He could be doing for our first day of school at the Mount, Sister Kathleen Brabson a myriad of other things like hanging out with his friends, playing showed the teachers a YouTube video entitled “The Star soccer or just sleeping in every Saturday morning, but he comes Thrower.” It recounted the story of a young man who spent his here, to a dump outside the city of Grenada, to spend time with morning throwing starfish that washed up on shore as the tide those Jesus called “the least of these.” Although Ezequiel was going out back into the ocean. When questioned about the doesn’t have the money to buy food for the families at the dump, futility of his efforts since there was a plethora of starfish along he supports them the best way he can, with the love of Jesus. the beach, the young man simply picked up another starfish, He truly loves these people, and he has impacted my life forever. threw it into the ocean and said, “I made a difference to that This past August I had the incredible privilege of traveling to Grenada, Nicaragua, with a team from Field of Abundance Mission (FOAM), an organization dedicated to meeting the physical and spiritual needs of the poor in Grenada, Nicaragua. I witnessed the selfless love of my Nica brothers and sisters in Christ like Ezequiel and Juan, and countless others. I wish I could recount all of the incredible stories, but there are far too many. Second only to Haiti, Nicaragua is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, but I saw even those living in poverty themselves reaching out to their neighbors. Maria is a fine case in point. She lives in Santa Rosa, one of the poorest neighborhoods (barrios) near Granada. As she cooked a pot of stew for the children’s feeding program, she recounted to us the miracle of the program’s beginning. Witnessing the devastation of poverty and starvation of many of the children in the area, Maria and several of her friends at Torre Fuerte church began praying for help. God answered their prayers when they met two missionaries from Pennsylvania who began raising funds in the US to financially support the endeavor. Now three feeding programs are in operation in local barrios supported by FOAM. Maria hosts the one in Santa Rosa at her house as the teenagers from Torre Fuerte church help to serve the children. Before and after school these teens immerse themselves in community service every week. We joined them not only for the feeding programs, but for countless other activities throughout the week like Bible club where they sang, played games, and did crafts with the children. We visited preschools who welcomed us warmly to do many of the same activities with the children. One morning I remember fondly, we split up into about seven groups of five or six and walked door to door in a very poor neighborhood. The girls in many of the groups washed and cut the hair of children who had lice as the boys raked and cleaned up yards or did any other task they were asked to do. I was in awe of the

one.” Sometimes we can be discouraged by the vastness of poverty in our world, but may it never stop us from trusting God and helping those we can.

As the 2010-2011 school year commenced at the Mount, the school community embraced the theme: “Striving for Unity; Lend a Hand, Serve the Dear Neighbor.” Thinking about the ideals of our school makes me proud to be a part of a community that is primarily concerned with serving others as Christ exemplified for us. I am always encouraged by the selfless acts of MSJA students and their eagerness to volunteer in Kensington, Germantown, and Mississippi. Mounties donate countless hours of their time to serve meals at Saint Francis Inn, tutor elementary school students at LaSalle Academy, and play with children at St. Vincent’s and the Ronald McDonald House. It inspires me to hear the eagerness of a group of students to address a need for a school and nursing facility in Senegal, Africa and then watch their dreams become reality. It is exciting to hear about a birthday party that took place at a local food pantry and another young woman who donated her birthday money to help children who are less fortunate. These are just a few of the many stories of Mounties making a difference in the world. And even right here within the walls of Mount Saint Joseph Academy as students encourage each other we draw closer to the love of our Savior. Every kindness is a small glimpse into the heart of Jesus and it always makes me smile. Paul exhorted the Philippians that they “should look not only to their own interests, but also the interests of others.” When we attempt to do this the selfless love supplied by the Holy Spirit that is required to carry out this exhortation overflows into boundless joy for all involved. My trip to Nicaragua this summer reinforced the truth that we serve an amazing God who is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20). I learned that love transcends language, culture, age, gender, and economic class. And I will never be the same. 7


embr acing and living Your

Legacy

Mount Alumna Elizabeth Rose Barker ’74 (right) Interviews Barbara Greenspan Shaiman, an Author, Educator, and Social Entrepreneur by Elizabeth Rose Barker ’74

WW

hen Jill Gregori, Mount’s Development Director, asked me to contribute an article to The Mount Magazine, so many talking points crossed my mind.

As a financial advisor for over 25 years, dozens of ideas regarding the merits of fund raising, charitable giving, and estate, gift and tax planning swirled in my head. How might I best motivate my fellow Mount Alumnae and friends to become involved with, and to financially support, our beloved alma mater? My answer came to me, quite unexpectantly, as I played golf (poorly) at MSJ’s annual Golf Outing. As I reflected on the camaraderie of the day, I recalled a recent event that I attended, that was one of the most powerful and inspiring presentations about philanthropy that I had ever experienced. It was a phenomenal workshop entitled “Embrace Your Legacy” by local author, educator, and social entrepreneur, Barbara Greenspan Shaiman. What better way to inspire than to seek the sage advice of an expert? Actually, because I was so moved by Barbara’s talk that day, and a conversation that we shared afterwards, we have become friends. Barbara enthusiastically agreed to be interviewed by me and to share her wisdom and insights about “embracing and living your legacy”. Liz: Barbara, please share your background and how your life path has led you to become a “social entrepreneur” and an advocate for philanthropy and creating legacy? Barbara: I feel lucky that, even though women in my day had much more limited choices than today’s young women do,

8

I took risks and evolved from teacher to business woman to social entrepreneur. My present role as speaker and author advocating social change and encouraging individuals and business to be “charitable and giving” was inspired by my trip to Auschwitz. As a daughter of Holocaust survivors, that visit completely transformed me and inspired me to follow a passionate vision of mine to teach people not to be silent and indifferent and to become engaged citizens . L: Specifically, what do you teach and encourage at your workshops and speaking engagements? B: So many people are on a journey to find meaning in their personal and professional lives. I try to help them discover their interests and passions so that they can give back to the community. We assess how they can integrate living their legacy into all aspects of their life: at home, at work and in the community to give back. L: Who may benefit from one of your workshops? Do you have a target audience? B: My workshops and presentations are for people of all ages: from students in schools or universities to business or corporate clients; faith based community organizations; women’s or men’s groups; or the legal and financial sector. I would love to do a presentation at the Mount for the Alumnae and Development office to inspire a deeper devotion to the school. L: Barbara, do you have a favorite quote or motto that inspires you? B: Most definitely. My mother inspired me with this gem: “A head without a heart is dangerous!”


It is a timeless piece of advice because, too often, history has taught us that prominent people have used their great minds and education to perpetuate evil. Think of Hitler in the past, and at present, of al-Qaeda or Bernie Madoff. I know for a fact that Mount students are being educated to utilize both their heads and their hearts. L: Barbara, I understand that you have a connection to the Mount in this respect? B: Yes, that’s correct. One of my projects is a non-profit I founded called “Champions of Caring.” It is an organization dedicated to educating and empowering young people to take active roles in community service and positive social change. And, in 2009, Mount Saint Joseph Academy was honored as our “Champion School of the Year” for its consistently high number of student champions who render service. Over the years many of the girls have been honored as Champions of Caring and several have participated in our regional “Ambassadors of Caring program,” where they learn valuable leadership skills and are groomed for incorporating charitable giving into their lives. Involvement in these projects creates strong bonds with classmates and poignant memories of their Mount days. Hopefully too, it will encourage graduates to continuously give back to the school and create a “culture of caring.” L: Barbara, what specifically do you suggest to encourage Alumnae and friends of the Mount to do to “give back” to the school? B: Quite simply, anyone and everyone can “give back,” whether it is with: time, resources or money. I also recommend creating intergenerational projects that teach your values and instill an ethic of giving back to your family members. Donating time to be involved at the school or to mentor or offer internships with the students is priceless. Time can also be offered to help with the various fundraising projects that the school runs. As you likely observed at the golf outing, there is plenty of “behind the scenes” work to be done to pull off a successful fundraiser. Resources can range from business contacts to physical or monetary resources to help the school maintain its top-notch quality of education for its students. Monetary giving, of course, is the most tangible. It is critical to stress that every gift is important regardless of amount. A large percentage of giving participation in each class will serve as an inspiration to join, too.

Financial Happenings matters

The message is this: It is not enough to simply educate a person’s mind. It is imperative to strengthen the most important muscle in the body – the heart!

Barbara Greenspan Shaiman Additionally, so many corporate employers can increase your gift appreciably via a Matching Gift Program, often dollar for dollar, with their matching gift form. There is also the possibly of setting up ongoing contributions though your payroll deduction to United Way and designating The Mount as the specific recipient of your UW payroll contributions. (Check the UW list and codes for specific recipients). L: Any parting words of wisdom, Barbara? B: Yes, as the Nike ad states, “Just do it!” “Take action now!” For further inspiration and information about how I might help you or your group take action, please visit my website with all of my contact info: www.embraceyourlegacynow.com . My book is for sale there, too. Liz: In closing, I’d like to announce that this “feature column” will appear in many future issues of our Mount newsletter. I have coordinated a Professional Women’s Resource group, comprised of several women professionals, who are Mount Alumnae, including: myself as a Financial Advisor; a CPA; an estate planning attorney, a banker, etc. I will introduce these “partners” in our next issue. This column will offer a “Q and A” format, featuring members of our panel helping you find answers to your questions regarding: financial, estate, and tax planning queries as well as charitable giving. Because 2011 will usher in a definitive change to Income, Estate and Investment Tax, we anticipate that you will have many questions as a result and that this column will be timely. We encourage you to submit your questions before next issue’s deadline of Feb. 15, 2011, to me at: liz.barker@rbc.com. Liz Barker is Vice President, Financial Advisor at RBC Wealth Management in Conshohocken, PA. For over 25 years, Liz has helped her clients identify their personal financial planning objectives and implement thoughtful, strategic plans to match their needs. Women “in transition” are of special interest to her practice for changing times of: divorce, retirement, relocation or widowhood.

Thanks for the

Internship, Alma Mater!

Enthusiastic Reports from Participants in the Mount’s College-Age Alumnae Internship Program, Summer 2010 Catherine Begley ’08 (pictured above), Office of Congressman Robert A. Brady (PA-01): During my sophomore year in the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State, I began the journey that many college students dread: Internship Hunting. This process is typically long and tedious, garnering stress, confusion, and disappointment from many college students. Although I had my fair share of worrying and hectic resume-sending, I discovered that I was, in fact, luckier than most, because I am a 2008 graduate of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. After applying to a few internships through various companies’ websites, I visited the Mount’s Alumnae page (www.msjaalum. org) and navigated my way to the Internship Database. When I arrived, I found a clear, concise, and informative listing of internships that had been posted by Alumnae and friends of the Mount. I soon applied for a few of these internships, which ranged from clerkships in law firms, internships in public relations and advertising, and one highly-coveted Congressional Internship in the Office of Congressman Robert Brady, Representative of Pennsylvania’s First District. Winning an internship on Capitol Hill was a prize that I believed to be unattainable—I knew how impressive these internships were and how difficult they were to get, so when I received a call from Congressman Brady’s Office requesting a phone interview, I was incredibly excited. Shortly after the interview, I received another call offering me the office’s ten-week internship, during which I would live in Washington, DC, and work in Cannon House Office Building alongside Congressmen, newsmen and women, Hill staffers, and other interns from across the country. After accepting the

10

internship, I embarked on my Washington, DC, adventure and spent my entire summer living and learning in the fast-paced and constantly exciting atmosphere of Capitol Hill. I wrote letters and recommendations, attended hearings, did research, learned from the office staff, and attended lectures by prominent political figures including General Colin Powell, Senator Scott Brown, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Congressman Barney Frank. My experience working in Congressman Brady’s Office during the summer of 2010 not only helped me network and build a post-graduation career path, but it taught me valuable life lessons and introduced me to some of the most interesting people I have ever met. As an added bonus, my internship experience also helped me to formulate an idea for my senior thesis, a graduation requirement for the Schreyer Honors College. The Mount’s Internship Database changed my life. After working on the Hill for almost three months, I developed interests and future career goals that would never have come into existence without the help of the Mount and the fantastic networking opportunities it facilitates for its graduates. When I left high school, I knew that my education would prepare me for college, but I never imagined it would so drastically affect my career plans. The hope of the harvest lies in the seed, as does the hope of the future in Mount Saint Joseph Academy graduates. In this unsure world, one thing is certain: with a Mount education, anything is possible. Stephanie Columbro ’07, a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, recommends the ease of the application process,


Catherine Dunn ’08: “As a sophomore year student, the MSJA College Age Intern Program provided me with an opportunity that was not easy to come by at my grade level. Interviewing with Mr. Pasquarella at BPG Properties, Ltd., I immediately sensed the true gift of a Mount education: a network of people wanting you to achieve your potential and willing to help you along the way. My understanding of this gift grew at BPG as I worked closely with Keli Connor ’92, a Mount Alum and Senior Property Manager at the company. Keli taught me more than just property management and finance; she taught me how to be a successful businesswoman in general. Of course, in true Mount fashion, she also showed me how to multi-task like a pro in the corporate world. At BPG, I learned that with a desire to do your best work and a determination to do business ethically, meaningful relationships form and success ensues. I would like to thank both the Mount for providing the opportunity for connecting alums with prospective employers and BPG Properties for fostering my personal growth as a college student and aspiring businesswoman. I would encourage any Mount alum seeking an opportunity to gain the valuable experience that comes from interning to get involved in the program. Caroline Johnston ’09, a student at Lafayette, worked with two other Mounties in Congressman Bob Brady’s office under the supervision of Tierney Houck ’05 as a permanent scheduler. She loved her job, learned much and knows that being able to list this internship on her resume will be invaluable. She suggests we list the offerings as early as possible. Caroline believes the Mount connection was extremely helpful in securing this internship. Ava Selya ‘07, a student at Temple University, commented, “My internship at Chesheim Dental with Dr. Angel Stout ’84 was definitely helpful to me. Angel is so respected in her field and heads a large staff, all of whom were so nice and always helpful.” Ava is studying towards receiving a DMD and becoming a dentist. Jen Kovach ’09 reported from Lehigh, “I loved working as an intern in Tony Maginnis’ firm, Global Packaging. I learned so much, and Tony’s people were so nice to work with, I actually looked forward to working every day.” About the internship program - “It is unique. I would recommend it to all college-age Alums. The Mount is the only school that offers internships.” Katherine Wzorek ’09, a political science major at George Washington University has always loved flowers and thought working for the Horticultural society would add diversity to her background. She had a fulfilling experience working there under

her boss Diane Humphries who was so impressed with Katherine’s work that she offered employment to other Mounties at the Philadelphia Flower Show in the spring. Katherine commented that GW offers internships, but that the Mount’s program made it so easy to apply. She highly recommends it for other Mount college-age Alums.

Alumnae Happenings Internships

all done by e-mail. The Mount Alumnae website, on which the internships were listed, gave good descriptions and requirements for the positions. Stephanie worked for Donna DePaul Bartynski ’70 at Judd Builders. She learned many things and is hoping to be offered a position at Judd. The Mount connection was so helpful in securing the internship. Stephanie has many friends from a variety of local schools, none of whom experienced any of the same kind of help from their high schools that is offered through the Mount’s internship program.

Comments from Employers Donna DePaul Bartynski ’70 of Judd Builders: I have enclosed what my sales and marketing director has said about Stephanie, since she is the one who worked directly with her. I enjoyed working with Stephanie, the little bit of contact that I had. She did whatever was asked of her, never complained, and was enthusiastic about learning whatever she could. She was always early to work and stayed late if asked. The following is what my marketing director wrote, which is basically her job description while here. “Stephanie Columbro was the intern for the Sales and Marketing efforts of Judd Builders/Developers. Stephanie assisted the Marketing Director in the execution of various marketing objectives, including special events, internet marketing, and model merchandising. Stephanie brought a new, fresh outlook to our marketing efforts.” Keli Connor ’92 of BPG Properties, Ltd.: Catherine Dunn served as an intern in our office this past summer, and did a superb job! She is smart, has a good sense of the business needs, and was an extraordinarily quick learner. Catherine also showed a high level of initiative, and was a great help with our annual property budget process, showing a strong sense of financial and budgeting concepts. We’d enthusiastically welcome her back, as she provided a tremendous value to our organization. Tierney Houck ’05, Legislative Correspondent/Scheduler, Office of Congressman Robert A. Brady (PA-01): Interest in interning in a Congressional office reaches its peak in the summer, and every year we receive a large number of requests from extremely qualified individuals. Unfortunately, my office is limited in the number of internship spots we have available, so finding committed, hardworking individuals to fill these spots is extremely important. I posted to the Mount Alumnae Internship listing with the hope of streamlining the internship application process. I’ve always known Mount girls to be reliable, intelligent, and dedicated, and our two Mount alum interns did not disappoint. Catherine and Caroline quickly established themselves as integral parts of our office and worked full-time the entire summer. They were able to have hands-on experience with our legislative process and pursue policy projects that were of interest to them. I felt confident giving them additional responsibilities, because I knew they could be trusted to complete thorough work. Internships, especially ones

(Internships, continued from page 11) in Congressional offices, are an incredible way to further one’s studies and prepare for a career, and I am glad Catherine and Caroline took the initiative to work in our office. I look forward to even more Mount alums working in our office in the coming years, and I hope more Mounties will take advantage of the great resources provided by their Mount connections. Diane Humphries of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society reports that intern Katherine Wzorek ’09 did data entry work each day for the Horticultural Society. In doing this, she learned the use of Raiser’s Edge software which is used internationally, mostly by non-profit organizations. Diane described Katherine as an excellent, fabulous, very pleasant worker who paid extraordinary attention to detail. The Horticultural Society will offer an internship again this summer and welcomes any Mount students who might like to volunteer a few hours a week during the year and/or the Flower Show. Tony Maginnis of Global Packaging: “Global Packaging had a great intern this year and we couldn’t have been happier. We got to pick from several candidates that generally came from top-tier schools. Jen was enthusiastic and interested, and she added value to our organization the whole time she was here. It was our second year and we’ve had good results both years. They are smart young women who look for things to do and don’t need a lot of direction. She was able to work in several departments, and was a resource our managers really liked working with. We will be doing this again next year.” Kate Shields ’93, Vice President & Managing Partner, Vault Communications: We have been taking on summer interns for a “temp to perm” model, i.e. if the intern works out

in the summer, we hope to offer her full-time employment upon graduation. We had a Mount Alum (Deanna Every ’05) who followed this model last year and now works for us. We love her!! Dr. Angela Stout ’84, DMD of Chesheim Dental Associates: For the past two years, Mount graduates have been an asset as interns in my dental office. These young college women have exhibited integrity, knowledge and enthusiasm while experiencing the dental profession. The interns adapt quickly and easily perform their work requirements while blending with our team. It has been a pleasure for me to assist these young ladies, and I take pride in them as they apply for graduate school. Ava Selya, one of my 2010 interns, continues to be a wonderful addition to my practice and I hope to see her in the 2011 freshman dental school class. I will continue to support the MSJA Internship Program knowing that our Mounties are reliably qualified, and, in return, I am happy to help guide them in a career choice.” MSJA Development Office: There are many opportunities available in the Mount’s Development Office for those seeking experience in Development, Communications, Public Relations, and Event Planning. We have had two interns, and one more is starting soon. We benefitted tremendously from their assistance and innovation, and, in turn, we were happy to provide excellent references for both former interns, who landed excellent jobs upon graduation, As you can see, the Mount’s Internship program is a winwin proposition for both the intern and the employer!

(Preparing Outstanding Women Engineers through Robotics)

Mount’s Robotics Team Hosts First All-Girl Robotics Competition!

TT

he Firebirds, Mount Saint Joseph Academy’s all-girl Robotics Team, hosted the country’s first-ever all female robotics competition, GirlPOWER (Preparing Outstanding Women Engineers through Robotics). Under the banner of the FIRST Robotics program (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), the GirlPOWER competition is the first event of its kind in the whole country, and took place on Saturday October 9th, from 9 am until 3:30 pm, with 11 teams competing for the title. Held in the gym, this fun and educational event featured exciting contests between the teams, to see which ones could score the most points by getting soccer balls in the goals, or having their robots hang from the stand in the center of the competition field. There was one big difference from their usual competitions— all-female drive drivers and pit crews from the 11 participating teams from throughout the East Coast. The winners, which consist of a group of three teams with the most points during the competition, were the Firebirds, MOE (Miracle of Engineering) comprised of students from schools

located in Wilmington, DE; and Femme Tech Fatale, from Agnes Irwin School, Rosemont, PA. Visitors were also able to learn from the teams up-close during the Robotics Demonstration area, which was set up and ran concurrent with the competition. Many people took advantage of the opportunity to program, handle, and drive the robots as they learned more about them, the robotics program, and engineering in general. Keynote Speaker, Patricia DePra, Regional Director for FIRST of Western PA, spoke to the girls about how encouraged and energized she felt to be surrounded in a gym full of girls who love science and technology. She encouraged the girls not to let setbacks dampen their enthusiasm or their drive to achieve success in the sciences.

Mid-life: The Change is Gonna Do You Good!

II

By Margie King ’71, Certified Holistic Health Coach

was a junior at Mount St. Joseph Academy 40 years ago in 1969-70. My academic career was in flux at the time, since I had been forced to transfer to the Mount that year when Eden Hall, the school I had been attending, closed at the end of my sophomore year. Looking back now, coping with that change in high school, over which I had no control, was a fitting start to the rest of my life which has been all about change, and has now led me to work as a health coach for women coping with “The Change” at mid-life. I came to the Mount that year with my sister Bridget King (Class of 1973) who was a freshman, and we were part of a second generation at the school, following in the footsteps of our mother, Marie Rosato King (Class of 1946). A few years later my sister Stephanie King (Class of 1976) followed. Fast forward some 30 years and the Mount tradition continued with Bridget’s daughters, Stephanie Crooks (Class of 2006) and Alexandra Crooks (Class of 2008), and my sister Stephanie’s daughters, Gabrielle Curcillo (Class of 2009) and Chiara Curcillo (Class of 2011). All told we are three generations of eight Mounties.

class of freshman women. Switching my major from math to French, I spent my junior year abroad in Dijon, France. Eventually I enrolled in Villanova University School of Law and launched myself on a 20-year career as an attorney. While that sounds like a stable career path, it really wasn’t. At the time, there was still an expectation in the work world that you landed a job and retired from it 50 years later with a gold watch. Today, however, people have an average of seven jobs in the course of their careers. I changed jobs seven times just in my 20 years as a lawyer, and that’s not even counting a brief stint as the Economic Advisor to the President of Palau in 1996, or my newest venture as a health coach. Along the way, for good measure, I also got my M.B.A. from The Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania.

In the year 2000, I made a conscious decision to dramatically change my life and quit my career as a lawyer because it was no longer fun or fulfilling. I went into retirement at the age of 47. Without husband or children, I spent the next 10 years pursuing my personal interests of painting, needlepointing, writing and traveling, and took some time to discover myself and the world.

My own tenure at the Mount was short – deeper understanding of the food just one year – but influential in my life. and lifestyle choices that work best The Mount community accepted me as for them and implement lasting changes a transfer student with open arms and that will improve their energy, made my transition very easy.

I suffered all the effects of my body’s erratic hormone levels. I gained weight, woke up drenched at night, and went from someone who was always cold to a human heat pump. Heavy, irregular cycles made me practically a prisoner in my home for two days a month. I developed fibroids. And so, I did my research and became convinced that this was a change I needed to embrace as a natural part of life and rather than fight it, I needed to gently transition to the next phase. I passed through to the other side without hormones, without anti-depressants and without a lot of trauma, relying on a natural diet and common sense lifestyle changes. When I went to nutrition school, I became aware of the fact that I could help other women do the same thing that I did: go through menopause naturally without discomfort and without hormones, relying on whole foods and sensible lifestyle changes. I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and have a holistic approach to helping my clients. My philosophy is that nutrition is not just about food but about the whole person, and what is going on in their lives, especially in their relationships, career, physical activity and spirituality. All of these things nourish us and are interconnected.

Alumnae Happenings Spotlight

weight waxed and waned over the years. Because I had always struggled with weight, I decided in my retirement to finally find the answer to why I was carrying an extra 10 pounds (minimum) my whole life. I wanted to know the truth about nutrition because I was tired of diets that didn’t work, and I had tried them all. I was also tired of all the contradictory and confusing information out there about food and health. At the same time, I, who had gone through so many changes already, found myself going through the big one, menopause.

As a health coach to mid-life women I act as a wellness guide and supportive mentor. I help women achieve their goals in areas such as weight management, food cravings, sleep and energy. So many of my clients are very intelligent and informed, but so frustrated because they think they are doing the right things but not getting good results. I find that the most important thing for them to understand is the concept of bio-individuality, that each person has her own food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. I support each woman in making positive changes based on her unique needs, lifestyle, personal preferences, and background.

My mission is to help women going through menopause have a positive experience and not to fight Mother Nature. I want them to develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for them and implement lasting changes that will improve their energy, balance and health. I offer individual counseling as well as group counseling, workshops and cooking classes. Also, drawing on my experience at the Mount, I spend a good deal of time writing about nutrition and wellness as the Philadelphia Nutrition Examiner on Examiner. com, a national news and information website. In starting my own business at mid-life, I was taking my own advice to make of your life what your life makes of you – don’t fight the universe. I could not have predicted that I would be here today, but looking back it all seems natural and inevitable. I have gone through many changes in my life and I have gone through The Change. It seems only natural to help other women do the same. For more information or to contact Margie King, you may visit her website www.MargieKing.net.

The Outing was followed by cocktails, dinner, and a silent auction featuring items such as outings at area golf courses, dining gift certificates, and autographed sports memorabilia. Once again, half of the proceeds from the Outing benefit the Alumnae Endowed Scholarship, which will be awarded to the daughter or granddaughter of an Alumna who qualifies for financial aid. Our sincere thanks to our chairs Michael and Beth Brown, and all of our committee members, sponsors, participants and those who purchased raffle tickets. Their support continues to make the Golf Outing one of the most successful fundraisers at the Mount!

Dear Fellow Alumnae, Autumn is abundantly upon us as the leisurely days of summer wane into the cool, crisp days of the harvest. There is excitement in the air as the Mount community is full of life and possibilities. Just as our history of the Sisters of Saint Joseph brims with examples of how we have boldly transformed the Mount to meet the needs of the day, so too is our Alumnae Association following in those footsteps. Our Alumnae Association embodies the spirit of the Mount, reflecting the pride that defines and unites us.

Alumnae Happenings

A Letter from the Alumnae Association President

In keeping with our rich traditions, we began September with welcoming back over 120 Golden Girls to their annual luncheon at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club. It was inspiring to see women from as far as California joining together to show their Mount spirit. The rain did not dampen the spirits of over 130 golfers at the 18th Annual MSJA Golf Outing. We had a record number of women golfers for the second year in a row. Thanks to the leadership of Co-Chairs Michael and Beth Brown and our committee, we raised over $70,000. This is such an important fundraiser, as 50 percent of these proceeds fund the Alumnae Grant which provides a need-based tuition grant to the daughter of a Mount Alumna. Alumnae joined administration, parents and students to host the Mount’s Annual Open House on October 17. Our Mount Alumnae welcomed prospective students and their families as well as many Alumnae mothers hopeful that their daughters will continue their legacy. Inspired by the runways of New York City, the Special Events committee has worked feverishly to produce the “MOUNT RUNWAY 2010” fashion show. It was the perfect opportunity to join together students, parents and Alumnae. Everyone enjoyed dinner, shopping and the current trends for the fall and holiday seasons. I invite you to check out the Mount’s Alumnae website at www.msjaalum.org. There you can get additional information on the trip to Broadway, Lunch with Santa, Alumnae Day and many more exciting events! Over the years, we have built a strong community that “educates future founders” and links Alumnae to living lives of leadership and service. It is through your continued support to The Mount Fund that future generations can continue this legacy. Spes messis in semine…and you, as Alumnae, are bearing great fruit; the harvest is indeed proving plentiful. Enjoy autumn’s bounty,

A Mountie and Her

Ring FF

Reunited at Long Last!!

ifteen years ago, when S. Katharine Doyle, SSJ ’53, was living in Old Bridge, New Jersey, she had just finished chairing a Middle States Association Meeting on Long Island in NY, and was returning home by car. “When I got back to Old Bridge, I realized I did not have my MSJA class ring on my finger. It was a very bitter cold night, and my guess was that the ring had fallen off due to the cold.” The question was, where? S. Katharine looked all through the car, and everyone in her community kept looking for the ring—even for a long time after that. It was a leased car, and eventually, when the lease expired, the car was turned in, with no sign of her ring. Ultimately, S. Katharine stopped looking for and all but forgot about her ring. In the ensuing years, she retired to St. Joseph’s Villa in Flourtown, Pennsylvania, right next-door to her Alma Mater, the Mount.

Fast forward 15 years to March of 2010—a woman named Nora Saracena was visiting St. Joseph’s Villa, and lo and behold, there was S. Katharine’s ring -- in the parking lot of the Villa, which was now Sister Katharine’s new home. Seeing the initials KED inside the ring, she realized she could probably return the ring to its rightful owner. So she called Theresa Moyer, MSJA’s Director of Alumnae, to tell her that she had the ring. S. Katharine was thrilled to hear the good news, and could hardly believe that the ring would turn up, of all places, right in the parking lot of her new home at the Villa—71 miles from where she lost it. “I was dumbfounded that it would turn up right outside my new home. It was in such good shape—the stone needed to be polished, but otherwise, it’s in good shape. I’m so happy to have it back!”

Golden Girls Luncheon

Lois Trench-Hines ‘60 Cathy Drennen Siegl ‘60 Chairs of the 2010 Golden Girls Luncheon

raduates of Mount Saint Joseph Academy have always had a strong bond, and the Mount’s Golden Girls (Alumnae who have reached their 50th anniversary), gather each September to reminisce and enjoy each other’s company. The tenth annual Golden Girls luncheon was held Friday, Sept. 17, 2010, at the Whitemarsh Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill.

With over 120 in attendance, the room came alive with warmth and camaraderie, laughter and delightful conversation. It is hard to imagine that graduation was at least 50 years ago, and these ladies have maintained ties with one another and with the Mount that grow ever stronger as each year passes.

a plaque for the Mount’s Boathouse

Presented by her Classmates to Lois Trench-Hines ’60

GG

ood afternoon, everyone! My name is Joan Dull McGuigan, Mount Class of 1960.

How many of you have heard about, or perhaps toured the Mount’s Boathouse? Last spring I was part of the group of Golden Girls who took advantage of a trip there. It’s along the Schuylkill River in Conshohocken. We were all impressed to learn about the facility’s past history, present function, and future potential. One of our classmates, Eileen McGonigal Wallace, immediately proposed the idea that a plaque needed to be hung there in recognition of the woman who spearheaded its existence—Lois Trench-Hines. Back in the late ’50s when Lois was a Mountie, there were only two interscholastic sports at the Mount: basketball and field hockey. Lois participated in both…famous for her halfcourt basketball shots and her Gibraltar-style hockey goal tending! Sports fed her spirit. Years later, she had a chance meeting with another of our classmates. Was it chance or Divine Providence? While driving, Lois spied Sandy Shields Madden walking along carrying an oar. Lois did a “U-ey” in the middle of the road and was introduced to the Philadelphia Girls Rowing Club. The rest was history!! She joined. She competed…including

24

one event in Russia. Lois embraced the sport. Fast forward many more years and guess what happened? Crew became an activity, a club, and finally a competitive sport at the Mount. It takes years of plowing fallow ground before soil produces. Lois would be quick to downplay her role while lifting the efforts of others to prominence. Yet her consistent emotional and financial support and enthusiastic vision for the role of crew at the Mount and for its boathouse must be acknowledged! Crew is one of 11 sports at the Mount today. The crew women have won three international championships. Last spring it was announced that crew members earned more full-ride scholarships to prestigious colleges and universities than other Mount athletes. Celene Sukalski Boggs, a classmate living in California, reported that she had heard of the crew members’ rowing successes way out there on the left coast! Spes Messis in Semine. The hope of the harvest is in the seed. The harvest is rich! In our family we have a saying: we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us! We thank them and bless their names. Today, Lois, your class family thanks you and blesses your name. On behalf of the Class of 1960, it is my honor to present this plaque saluting your efforts. It will be hung in the Mount’s Boathouse for all future visitors to read.

Mount Saint Joseph Academy Annual Report 2009-2010 29


A Message from Chairman of the Board Mount Saint Joseph Academy Annual Report 2009-2010 As chair of the Board of Directors, I am very pleased to present the 2009-2010 Annual Report of Gifts which showcases the extraordinary generosity of our Alumnae, current parents, past parents, staff and friends who year after year take an active role in continuing the mission and vision of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who founded Mount Saint Joseph Academy 151 years ago. Gifts to the Annual Fund support the operating budget and offset the 20% gap between the tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating each student. In addition to those who gave financial support, we are truly grateful to the large number of volunteers who gave of their time and talents throughout this past year to ensure the success of each of the Mount’s many events and activities. The Golf Outing, chaired by current parents Beth and Michael Brown, supports the Endowment Fund, making it possible to offer financial aid to those students who need it. This event also directly benefits our Alumnae through the Alumnae Scholarship Grant which is awarded to the daughter or granddaughter of a Mount Alumna. Celebrauction XXVI, “A D’Vine Experience” was a spectacular event due to the tireless efforts of co-chairs Bob and Eileen Fabiszewski. The Special Events Committee comprised of both current parents and Alumnae sponsored the Christmas House Tours, the Spring Fling and a series of cooking classes. This Special Events Committee donated a portion of its proceeds to the new signage located at the corner of Wissahickon and Stenton Avenues. From these multiple sources of income we have been able to add to the endowment fund, making it possible to offer financial aid to students needing it. Our Alumnae Association, led by Trish Zugay Burkholder ’74, continued to reach out to our Alumnae from across the decades. From the ever popular “Golden Girls” luncheon to Alumnae Induction, there are events for every age group throughout the year. In its second year the College Age Internship Program successfully assisted a number of our Alumnae with networking opportunities as they begin to plan for their post-college careers. We are proud of the Class of 2010, our newest Alumnae, for their 96% participation in the Annual Fund Senior Class Initiative. They serve as a fine example for our alumnae to continue to remember the Mount in their charitable giving. Also, responding to the findings of the Alumnae survey, we have begun to suggest and solicit various forms of planned giving to ensure a solid future for the Mount. Finally, I thank my fellow Board members for their efforts throughout the year. Their commitment to the mission of the Mount is evidenced in the countless hours of meetings that result in a fiscally-sound school with a renowned reputation for outstanding academics, sports programs and community service programs. On behalf of the entire Board, I thank each of the individuals and organizations whose names appear in this book. Your generosity allows another generation of young women to experience a “Mount education.” We are sincerely grateful.

Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) In 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania established the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program to enable private businesses to receive a tax credit on specific corporate taxes when making donations to a non-profit scholarship program. The EITC program enables Mount Saint Joseph Academy to provide financial aid to students whose families have an adjusted family income of no greater than $50,000 plus $10,000 for each dependant up to $100,000. Companies will receive a 75 percent tax credit for donations for a single year commitment to EITC . The tax credit increases to 90 percent if the company commits to making the same donations for two consecutive years. A business paying taxes in Pennsylvania can receive up to $300,000 in tax credits annually. As of July 1, 2008, the definition of “business entity” has been expanded to include S Corporations and Partnerships which can receive up to $200,000 in tax credits annually. For more information on this program, contact Maggie Doyle in the MSJA Finance Office at (215)-233-3177, ext. 316. We are immensely grateful to the following businesses for contributing to the Mount through the EITC Program during the 2009-2010 school year. AF&L Insurance Company Berwind Property Group, Ltd.

his edition of the Mount Magazine includes the Annual Report which documents those in the Mount community who have given their financial resources as well as their time and talents to advance the mission of the Academy.

There are many names that appear several times throughout the report. People who contribute to the Annual Fund, volunteer at activities, serve on Boards, etc. There is one person, however, who covers all of the visible bases, and is also a significant presence in the behind-the-scenes work here at the Mount. In addition to being a past parent (Katie ’99, Tina ’01), past board chair, and current board member, Jim Paul is responsible for the many visual changes to the Academy’s look in the past few years. With the assistance of the talented staff at TJ Paul, Inc., Jim has been responsible for the new letterhead logo, banners in the parking lot, 150th Anniversary logo, countless years of designing Celebrauction logos, new signage at Wissahickon and Stenton, and most recently, the new Mount Fund logo. This past September, Jim accepted the role as Purple & Gold chair of The Mount Fund. A role that he championed for many years with his wife, Denise, Jim stepped back into this position as a member of the Development Committee of the Board of Directors. He is innately aware of the importance of the Purple & Gold club and its impact on the annual operating budget of the school. We are truly blessed to have someone that we can count on year after year for his steadfast belief in the Mount. Thanks, Jim!!

Sister Claire Hélène Society Mount Saint Joseph Academy Annual Report 2009-2010 We acknowledge with deep gratitude the following who have provided for the Mount’s future:

Planned gifts and bequests play an important role in the voluntary support of Mount Saint Joseph Academy. The Sister Claire Hélène Society has been established to honor those alumnae and friends of Mount Saint Joseph Academy who have continued a tradition of remembrance at their alma mater. The society is named in memory of a beloved Latin, religion and French teacher who inspired two generations of Alumnae of both the “old” and the “new” Mount. Members of the Sister Claire Hélène Society are those who have left a bequest to the Academy, or have notified the school that they have created a provision in their estate plans to benefit the Mount. These provisions include trusts, arranging bequests and making gifts of life insurance, naming the school as a beneficiary. These gifts become a permanent part of the Endowment, providing a source of income upon which the school can depend and use to plan for generations to come.
