MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear St. Martin’s Families, While I was thinking about this issue of The Bell dedicated to our StM community, eight years of feeling at home at St. Martin’s passed through my mind. When I first arrived at St. Martin’s, I began hearing that the greatest quality of the school was its sense of community. To be candid, I don’t know of a school which doesn’t claim to have a defining sense of community. This awareness left me curious to see how the St. Martin’s community would distinguish itself. Suffice it to say that it didn’t take long for me to see just how special our community is. I quickly learned that: • St. Martin’s is a place where alumni, young and old, reminisce as fondly about their teachers, and the staff members, as about their lifelong friends. • It's a school where the pre-kindergarten teachers host a celebration for the seniors (their former little ones) each year at graduation time. • In the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, everyday acts of kindness by students are recognized by the faculty and administration and commended publicly. • People care for and look out for each other: From the parents, to the students, to the teachers, to the staff and administration. We know each other well, from the youngest to the oldest. • It is a school where the folks working in the dining hall know the students passing through their stations so well that they notice when they are absent, and they celebrate their milestones with them. • It is a place where in Chapel, the Butterfly Song (gestures included) is sung with the same zest and zeal by seniors and alums as it is by the children in the Lower School. • St. Martin’s is a community where God is revered. Every student who passes through the school gains and grows spiritually. • It is a school where the two-year-olds can be seen proudly reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, hand over heart, and marching exuberantly to their patriotic favorite, “It’s a Grand Old Flag!” And that patriotism continues all the way to the Upper School, where students lead their fellow students in reciting the pledge and the Lord’s Prayer. • And it is a school where the youngest to the oldest join arms and proudly sing the Alma Mater, swaying together whether in Chapel, in assemblies, or on the sidelines of sporting events. Pride in St. Martin’s underscores these moments in a deep and meaningful way. Writing about the sense of community at St. Martin’s evokes so many warm and wonderful feelings. The list goes on and on, and I am so pleased to be a member of such a strong community.

Merry Sorrells, Ed. D. Head of School

8 Likes An annual tradition in 8th grade Latin is the “legacy project,” a whole-class endeavor to design and create an educational “gift” to leave behind for future students to help them in their learning. In the past, these projects have included albums, board games, and original illustrated stories. This year’s project—which is perfect for this particularly energetic and fun-loving class —is to invent, draft rules for, and “road test” as many new team games as possible to bring Latin grammar and translation to the next level. The round-table discussion process began today, and, even after a mere 30 minutes, some epic ideas sprang forth. Can’t wait to see where this goes! #stmsaints 6 | The Bell

ADMISSION

In October, AP Biology students accepted a healthy choices design challenge from their teacher, Dr. Joe Vaccaro:

“How might we help the children of Bastion Community of Resilience to learn the science and the art of healthy smoothie making?” Bastion is an intentional New Orleans community in which wounded, ill, or injured veterans live alongside retired military and civilian volunteers. Students coordinated interviews, whipped up some quick prototypes, and reworked the recipes after tasting. The final products were delicious, custom-designed, and joyfully consumed by community members. The school’s Mobile Idea Lab served as a test kitchen for the evening. The classroom-on-wheels also provides studentdesigned STeaM experiences to the children of Bastion several times each semester.

Update We seek bright and motivated students who are committed to being successful in school and in life, and who are dedicated to our unique school philosophy. For more information about admission at St. Martin’s, visit stmsaints.com/admission.

The induction increased the school’s chapter membership to 55 total members.

Belle Johnson Scholarship In December 1997, as Doug Johnson ’60 and his family gathered to celebrate Christmas, he read a letter to his mother, longtime StM teacher Belle Johnson, which said, in part, “In honor and because of your efforts which enabled Glenn (Johnson Brady ’65) and me to attend St. Martin’s, I have created the Belle Johnson Scholars Foundation.”

Now, 22 years after that initial meaningful gift, the foundation has provided scholarship awards to nearly 100 students in grades eight through twelve in honor of Belle, who was a Middle School science teacher at St. Martin’s from 1955 to 1985. This year’s recipients are: Abigail Beck, Kylar Coleman, Jenna DeLatte, Garrett DeViney, Emory Farber, Katie LaForge, Lindsey LaForge, Rian McManus, Adriana Paz, Toi Robinson, Malorie Saucier, Alexis Steckler, Jacob Thomas, and Sydni Wiltz.

into appropriate sizes. They also practiced holding unplugged power tools. With their teachers’ help, they even practiced screwing two pieces of wood together.

“The teachers had a bench, but it was really tall for us,” explained Sadie Luby ’34. “We wanted a bench of our own.”

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER The next step was painting and assembly. When Collins noticed that she made a mistake with the assembly, she pointed it out to the students.

Rather than immediately purchasing a bench, teachers jumped on the opportunity to follow the students’ interest and embarked on a project to build one instead. The George Cottage’s Reggio Emilia-inspired program is based on the idea that children learn best when engaged in meaningful work that grows from their interests. For the teachers of these very eager three-year-olds, this project fit the bill perfectly. “We started by talking with the children about what makes something comfortable to sit on, and how many children they wanted the bench to be able to seat,” said Jenny Collins, George Cottage Oaks teacher. “They sat on benches with backs and without, with armrests and without. Each time, we discussed options and took a vote.” The group looked at photos of benches online to identify several potential style options. They then debated how many children should fit on the bench and measured the necessary length to accommodate them. Ultimately, students decided on the style and the height (short enough so their feet could touch the floor) of the bench. MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE Students practiced measuring with a variety of tools, from rulers to measuring tapes to t-squares. The children also began practicing how to safely use small handsaws, hammers, and nails with the guidance of their teachers. Then they used mallots to hammer golf tees into foam blocks. Once they mastered this skill, they hammered real nails into pre-drilled holes in scrap pieces of wood. PROTOTYPES AND POWER TOOLS When they were ready to build, students visited The Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design to have the wood cut

“I think it is so important for them to see their teacher make a mistake and stay calm enough to work through a solution,” she said. “We asked the class what they thought the solution should be. They wanted to back up a few steps and do it right. I was so impressed with that and the patience it took for them to decide to do the work over again.” For several days, teachers and students worked together to finish sanding and painting the pieces. Once it was completed, each student sat on the bench for a commemorative photo in the classroom. They also talked about where it should be installed in their play yard. Several students had noticed memorial or honorary plaques on some of the benches on our campus, and asked about what that meant. After a discussion about items around campus that were given to remember or honor a special person, the children decided that they wanted to honor Mr. Nolan Dewey (longtime StM staff member), so they dedicated the bench to his memory. “The pride on their faces after finishing the bench was such a joy to see,” said Collins. “They truly loved working on this project, and it shows how engaged they were with the entire process. The skills they learned were invaluable.”

SKILLS TO LAST A

LIFETIME

A LOWER SCHOOL CLASS LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS

he classroom is buzzing with activity as fourth graders move from place to place, excitedly writing on papers taped to each student’s back. Some giggle to themselves, while others remain focused on their task — writing thoughtful, specific compliments to their classmates. It is a fourth grade Life Skills class and the activity is called “The Gift of Me.” Students practice giving and receiving compliments and affirmations. With unbridled glee, they read each others’ compliments and guess the authors. The class is taught by Lower and Middle School Counselor Christina Heath, M.Ed., LPC-S, NCC. Heath says she often follows a specific curriculum, Second Step, a holistic program rooted in social-emotional learning. In addition, Heath works from personal lessons and a curriculum that covers topics such as impulse control, emotional regulation, respecting boundaries, diversity, sportsmanship, fairness, leadership, safety, self-esteem, mindfulness, listening, manners, friendship, gratitude, responsibility, citizenship, prejudice, problem solving, conflict resolution, loyalty, honesty, trustworthiness, health, nutrition, and exercise. “In Lower School Life Skills, we redundantly say that this is our nonjudgemental time to practice

our skills together in a safe space,” said Heath. “We do much of this through partner and group activities.” Growing research proves that empathy is a skill that translates to success in career and life, and is therefore essential to impart to students. Empathy helps students determine their identity and contributes to their ability to cooperate with others. Empathy can also help extend thinking, allowing people to stretch and test new perspectives and ideas — a key process for successful innovation.

LOWER SCHOOL The Lower School Life Skills curriculum focuses on skills for learning (such as listening, following

In addition to empathy benefiting the greater community, it also helps individuals sell to and influence others. Putting yourself in another’s shoes allows you to use their perspective as a common starting point toward influencing them to your point of view — a skill critical for leaders and managers.

MIDDLE SCHOOL In Middle School, the curriculum focuses on empathy once again by using an empirically-based social-emotional learning curriculum. In addition, students begin working in advisory groups every other week. Advisors work in groups and one-on-one with students on a variety of academic, social, and emotional topics.

“I am passionate about the importance of Life Skills at St. Martin’s, especially for our Lower School students,” said Heath. “Learning these skills helps students put into words the feelings and emotions that they sometimes don’t know how to express. It also gives them the skills to successfully work through difficult situations. The result is that our students feel safe, supported, and ready for a lifetime of learning.”

One initiative Lower School students love is Caught Being Kind. Heath designed the program to promote and encourage integrity and empathy. Faculty watch for students showing unprompted kindness and caring. In her Life Skills class, Heath reveals the students who were Caught Being Kind that week. She describes the kind action before naming the student behind it. Students enjoy listening, guessing the student, and praising each other’s actions.

TREASURED TRADITIONS

Alumni

Brown Bag Lunch By Mary Lee Wayman Saucier ’91

The Alumni Brown Bag Lunch is an StM tradition my family looks forward to, each and every year! My three children anxiously await the arrival of the invitation in the fall. The invitation, whether decorated with little ants on a red checkered tablecloth or a bright orange pumpkin carved with a giant M, marks a very special day for them. It is a day when alumni students are set apart from the rest of their peers. It is an event that allows my children to celebrate our family’s unique history and relationship with the school. My children have attended the lunch each year since they were students of the George Cottage. They have enjoyed eating chicken tenders, fresh fruit, salad, and of course, chocolate chip cookies. It has always been intriguing to see what type of embarrassing memories the alumni director has found deep in the stash of yearbooks and school memorabilia. All three of my children have loved getting to see their mom’s hilarious hairdos or awkward Middle School glasses. However, their favorite part of the afternoon has always been running off to play yard games with their friends who share in this unique experience. This year

en alumni "It is a day wh t apart students are se f their from the rest o event that n a is t I . s r e e p e n to allows my childr mily’s celebrate our fa nd unique history a school." e h t h t i w ip h s n relatio the Alumni Brown Bag Lunch brought our family the usual excitement and enthusiasm, but also a few tears. This was my daughter’s 16th and final year at the event, because Malorie will be graduating next spring. It is difficult to imagine attending the Alumni Brown Bag Lunch without her. We have watched her grow up at this event, through each division and every grade. She will truly be missed next year. We have been blessed to have all been together at a school that values alumni relationships, and holds events to show students of alumni how important they are to the school. My children thoroughly enjoy having a unique event to celebrate the fact that they are part of St. Martin’s legacy!

HEARD ON CAMPUS

Fall Fellowship For more than 25 years, the StM community has gathered before the Homecoming football game for the Fall Fellowship Cookout. Young and old Saints come together to enjoy food and fun before heading down to Tony Porter Field for kickoff. Current students and their families, alumni, and faculty (both past and present) all enjoy visiting with friends and showing off their Saints pride.

“I like playing with my friends and eating the cookies!” — Zachary Irons, George Cottage, Trees Class (3-year-olds)

“What I enjoyed most about Fall Fellowship was the sense of community and togetherness. Everyone around me was showing their amazing StM spirit. It was so great to be a part of that with the St. Martin’s family for my last homecoming as a student.” — Jacob Thomas, Upper School Student, 12th Grade

“With both of our boys now in college, we don’t have as many opportunities to visit with the many StM friends we have made over the years. The Fall Fellowship was a great way for us to catch up with friends, faculty, and young alumni (our boys’ friends who we miss too)!” —Heidi Gremillion, parent of two alumni, former Board of Trustees Member

“I really like how you get to hang out with your friends and play games together and eat delicious food. I love Fall Fellowship!” — Jessie Gaspard, Lower School, 4th grade

“Fall Fellowship is a time to get closer with not only your grade, but everyone at StM. It brought me closer to the people in my grade that I don’t normally talk to, and even my teachers. Fall Fellowship is loved by all ages, and should never end!” — Sophie Chailland, Middle School, 7th grade

COVER ARTICLE

Traditions From St. Martin’s Day to Senior Chapel to Community Day in pre-k, St. Martin’s traditions run deep. They help establish the school’s identity and signal what it values. Some of St. Martin’s most cherished traditions revolve around its tightly-knit community and its commitment to the ideals of Faith, Scholarship, and Service. “Traditions at St. Martin’s are an extremely important part of our culture, community, and curriculum. They are woven into the fabric of all the special and unique qualities found in a St. Martin’s education. Now, as a parent, I’m able to celebrate some of my favorite traditions with my sons and relive my childhood at StM once more.”

School Pride At StM, students create endless memories that they can carry with them long after graduation through school spirit. Pride in St. Martin’s sets the tone for various aspects of the school and its students, translating into higher expectations of one’s self and surroundings, pushing for positive changes in the school community and beyond. “St. Martin’s is a place where the youngest to the oldest join arms and proudly sing the Alma Mater, swaying together in Chapel, in assemblies, or on the sidelines of sporting events. Pride in St. Martin’s underscores these moments in a deep and meaningful way.”

—Ford J. Dieth, Jr. ’89, Head of Lower School and Assistant Head of School

—Merry Sorrells, Head of School

Connectedness Students at St. Martin’s feel connected to their teachers. Faculty, staff, and coaches serve as mentors, role models, sounding boards, leaders, and inspirations. That deep connection extends to students as they develop lifelong friendships with each other. It is not uncommon to hear from alumni that they remain connected to each other, to the school, and to their former teachers for decades after graduation. “It makes me happy that StM is truly a family school where students, parents, and teachers continue their friendships even after graduation. What fun it is to attend students’ weddings, baby baptisms, and birthdays celebrations. Communication is key at StM, and that also makes me happy.” —Donna Lewis, former Director of Admissions and first grade teacher, a current member of the Board of Visitors, and the 2019 Dorothy Porter Service Award recipient

“One of the things that stands out to many St. Martin’s alums is that we're very much still good friends and still so connected to each other. Within the New Orleans community, St. Martin’s alums still have this crazy ‘glue’ keeping us all connected that you can’t put a price on. That’s something that I cherish and look forward to seeing happen for my daughter [Lila ’23]. It’s noticeable and tangible and incredibly special.” —Lester Coe ’84

Support

Engagement

St. Martin’s community members care for and support each other. From faculty and staff to classmates and families, all are welcomed and included in the StM community. Students benefit from a strong, active group of professionals who support and guide students to be the best version of themselves. While its students, faculty and staff, and families come from all walks of life, St. Martin’s is a place where all belong and all are seen as individuals.

The school, parents, and the community all work together to promote the health, wellbeing, and learning of all students. Many parents stay actively involved through the Saints Community Organization, a forum that facilitates open communication, collaboration, and fellowship between families, administration, and educators of St. Martin’s. The SCO hosts numerous fundraising and fellowship events, including the spring gala, golf tournament, Fall Fellowship, Back to School Bash, Family Fest, and Donuts with Dads.

“I am very proud of the level of support we are able to provide for our students and each other at StM. Our size lends itself to knowing each other very well and fostering good relationships, which provide the foundation for a strong community of support.” —Heather Patterson, Upper School Counselor

Safety Before students can succeed academically, they must feel safe. St. Martin’s uses a variety of measures to ensure students’ physical safety. Of course, safety extends beyond the physical well-being of students. At St. Martin’s, students also feel welcomed, supported, and respected as individuals. “We've spent the last year really addressing the various aspects of providing a physically safe environment for our students and faculty. But it's important to remember that we, as educators, are also constantly working to ensure that students and faculty feel socially and emotionally safe as well. Celebrating - not just recognizing - individuals' unique perspectives and places in the world is what makes this community as diverse and welcoming as it is.”

“[My wife] Nicole and I believe that the volunteering of our time and effort to the St Martin’s community sets an example for our two kids, Cole [’25] and Christian [’29]. Through observing how invested we are in their educatIon and extracurricular activities, they will continue to understand the importance and value of this and remain fully engaged in all learning opportunities afforded to them. For us, education comes first; however, opportunities that St Martin’s provide for its students through sports are invaluable as well. Being the Golf Chairs has allowed us the opportunity to directly impact the Athletic Department and offer support in providing resources that are needed to compete on and off the field.” —Stephen LaCoste, 2018 and 2019 Golf Tournament Chair, 2019 Co-Volunteer of the Year

—Jenny Velasquez, Middle School Head and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator

Spirituality Based in faith and steeped in the Episcopal tradition, St. Martin’s integrates spiritual formation into the overall educational experience. The Episcopal tradition also calls the StM community to offer love to all people through inclusivity. As a result, St. Martin’s supports the individual faith journey of every student. Students are taught Christian beliefs as well as those of other major world religions, particularly those represented within the student body. “Our spiritual lives are shaped early and have a profound effect on the people we become. When we send our students out into the world, part of their thriving will be that they have been formed in transcendent values, those that are foundational and eternal. At St. Martin’s, we don’t have to go searching for those values; they are built into the very mission of a faith-oriented school.” —Rev. Ford "Jeff" Millican, Jr., Director of Spiritual Life and Upper School Chaplain

A Life Well Lived

Nolan Dewey 1958 - 2019

Margie Conatser

A Lasting Impression

1934 - 2019

There are certain people you meet in your life who make a lasting impression. Mr. Nolan was one of those people. Whether it was serving our food in the cafeteria, setting up special events on and off campus, or delivering supplies to various divisions, you could always count on Mr. Nolan to stop, say hello, and ask how you were doing. He remembered personal anecdotes about each person’s life, whether regarding a parent, child, or alumnus, and took great interest in hearing how families were doing. In the dining hall, faculty, students, and staff all knew that if we were in Mr. Nolan’s line, we were definitely getting our money's worth in food. He took great pride in preparing flavorful meals and making sure we had large enough portions to enjoy every last bite. He was delighted when parents came to him and asked, “Mr. Nolan, how do you make your tater tots? It’s all my son talks about at dinner.” When I thought about this, I realized this was how he showed his love for us, by giving us sustenance to power us through the remainder of our day. Mr. Nolan took great pride in feeding us and this pride was a reflection of how much he cared for us. Nothing made him happier than when a student came back for seconds of his mashed potatoes. Although Mr. Nolan did not attend St. Martin’s, I truly feel he was the heart and soul of our community for 24 years. It has been said that a measure of a man’s success in life is not how much money he has made, but how many lives he has touched. If that’s the case, Mr. Nolan had a wildly successful life, touching thousands upon thousands of students, parents, and staff during his time at St. Martin’s. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. By Eileen Smilari

Just as in the words of St. Martin’s alma mater, “Her teachings will be there to guide us,” Margie Conatser’s legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of the lives she touched. Her service to St. Martin’s began in 1959, teaching second grade and third grades. She later served as Head of Lower School for more than two decades. Margie’s strong stewardship and guidance left an indelible mark on her faculty, students, and families. Margie encouraged and inspired our community through her commitment to high educational standards, innovation, developing curiosity, creativity, and higher order thinking. Under her leadership, St. Martin’s Lower School received the National C.A.P.E. Award, recognizing its excellence as a Blue Ribbon school. For Margie, students were the first priority. Treating children with respect, celebrating their unique qualities, and developing the whole child were hallmarks of her leadership. Margie believed in the power of using different teaching styles to match students’ learning styles. She encouraged, inspired, challenged, and supported her faculty to develop a culture of lifelong learning so they would be better teachers for their students. Because of Margie’s love of literacy, she immersed the St. Martin’s community in reading. Under her leadership, Lower School students experienced opportunities to meet award-winning children’s authors and illustrators. Through multidisciplinary enrichments, students became strong readers and creative writers. Margie developed a strong, caring culture. The faculty was vested in St. Martin’s because Margie was vested in them. She created an extended, supportive family that continues today. Living her life with grace and steadfast determination, Margie was true to her convictions and will be remembered as a dynamic leader, wise mentor, and beloved friend. A life well lived needs no further embellishment. By Margaret Perret Budde, Tina Hintz, Debbie Scalia, and Carolyn Wanek Treuting

St. Martin’s Welcomes New Members to the Board of Visitors St. Martin’s Board of Visitors is a select group invited by the Board of Trustees to take part in an advisory role to help carry on the longstanding tradition of excellence in education at St. Martin’s. This group is composed of alums, parents of alums, and former administrators, many of whom have ties to StM that span decades. This fall, St. Martin’s was delighted to welcome new members to the Board of Visitors during a two-day gathering that began with a cocktail reception hosted by Liz Martin Armstrong ’78 and Jennifer ’76 and Bruce Parkerson ’75. The following day, members attended a meeting in The Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design where they enjoyed a presentation from Head of School Merry Sorrells, who shared important school updates and news about projects underway at St. Martin’s. Members concluded their morning with a tour of the Upper School as well as some of the newer areas on campus. St. Martin’s is grateful for the outstanding loyalty, dedication, and friendship provided by its Board of Visitors, and appreciates its integral role in strengthening the school.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

KELLY MCGEEHAN ’92 AND THE 1983 VOLLEYBALL TEAM

ARE THE NEWEST INDUCTEES INTO THE ST. MARTIN’S ALUMNI ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Homecoming at StM is a celebration. As Kelly McGeehan ’92 pointed out in her Hall of Fame acceptance speech, “It’s a time for generations of Saints to come together in celebration of what this school once was, what it is now, and what it has the potential to be.” It is for that very reason that, during Homecoming Week, St. Martin’s inducts the newest members of the Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame in a ceremony attended by “generations of Saints.” For 2019, the inductees were Kelly McGeeehan ’92 and the 1983 State Champion Volleyball team. McGeehan was a multi-sport athlete at St. Martin’s who participated and excelled in volleyball, soccer, and track and field. During the induction ceremony, she was introduced by her father, former coach and Hall of Fame member Charles ‘Chick’ McGeehan. Kelly McGeehan received many accolades over the years, including being named to the 1989, 1991, and 1992 All-District Soccer and 1989 and 1992 All-Metro Soccer Teams. She was also named to the 1991 and 1992 All-District Track and Field Team. In 1992, she was named District MVP in field events. McGeehan was also a member of the 1992 State Champion Track and Field team. At one time, she held the StM records for shot and discus. She was the leading scorer during the 1989 and 1991 soccer season. During her senior year, she served as team captain for all three sports and was voted St. Martin’s Most Athletic Girl. 44 | The Bell 44 | The Bell

If Homecoming is a time to celebrate as Saints, the members of the 1983 volleyball team were champs yet again. The group of women that came together for this induction celebrated each other and their enduring friendships with energetic cheerfulness as though they had just won the State Championship the day before. The 1983 Saints volleyball team capped a great season with the Division III State Championship. With a 30-6 record for the year, the team dominated multiple tournaments throughout the season, routinely beating schools from larger divisions. The team finished the season undefeated in eight straight district matches. Several members also earned postseason honors: Tracey Moore was named District MVP. Peyton Pettit and Jeanne Herrington were named 1st Team All-District. Shannon Goodrow, Andra Rodriguez, and Mary K. Williams were named 2nd Team All-District. Members of the team were: Alexis Brown, Margaret Christy, Shannon Goodrow, Jeanne Herrington, Cindy Hild, Janet Jenkins, Leah Miciotto, Anne Mitchell, Tracey Moore, Peyton Pettit, Andra Rodriguez, Shannon Ryan, Marsha Smith, and Mary K. Williams. The team was coached by Linda Trevino and Kerry Vogt. The group was introduced by its coach, Linda Trevino. Each year St. Martin’s inducts new members into its Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame, which was established in 2006. The Hall of Fame recognizes individuals and teams who distinguished themselves in interscholastic athletics as players, coaches, athletic trainers, or administrators while at St. Martin’s. To submit nominations for the 2020 Hall of Fame, visit stmsaints.com/alumniawards.

Jenkins did have a great birthday with his family and was delighted that his granddaughter was off to Germany for a year on a fine arts scholarship, having just graduated from college at Duke. Classmates wrote loving memories of Martha Nelson Frost ’62, who was married to B. Murray Frost from our class, and were happy to know that Fr. Jenkins was in touch with Martha before she lost her battle with cancer in May. He had her laughing about incidents at StM 50 years ago.

Octavia Art Gallery, 700 Magazine Street in New Orleans, is showing 22 pieces of William Monaghan’s newest work (November 2 through December 31). The exhibition is titled Environmental Studies, and the gallery’s website salutes Bill for using “industrial forms and fabrication methods to create paintings that distort perceptions of depth and space, explore the role of objects in the authorship of art, and challenge our relationships with the unwanted and unnoticed remnants of consumer culture.” Bob Merrick was named an Activist of the Year by St. Charles Avenue Magazine. Anita Zervigon-Hakes recently spent two weeks in Paris visiting two grandchildren who are going to school in Paris to learn French. In the Fall 2019 issue of Fleur de Lis: The Journal for the Society of Louisiana Irises, the group published a lovely story “A Window Into Our Iris Past: The Extraordinary Nelson and Hutson Families of New Orleans.” The piece focused significantly on Martha Nelson Frost, who passed away in May, and her connection to the Society.

In July, John Jenkins celebrated his

95th Birthday. He received appreciation and birthday wishes from many Saints.

“Happy birthday Father Jenkins! Thank you for being the wonderful person that you are and for being such a great influence and support to so many of us for so many years. We all love you and always will be grateful for having you in our lives.” — Susan Breit Carroll ’60

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

One School, One Community In a literal sense, the term “St. Martin’s community” refers to school administrators, teachers, and staff members; the students who attend the school, and their families; and alumni, friends, and organizations who have a stake in our school’s success — to name just a few. But at St. Martin’s, “community” means so much more.

Ana Mesa Ortega ’85 has been a member of the Board of Trustees since August 2013. Her term as Chair began in August 2017.

I hear it so often from current parents, faculty and staff, and fellow alumni: St. Martin’s is not just a school. We’re a family. Every individual’s experience of St. Martin’s is unique and special. I cherish the many friendships made over the years and feel passionately that we achieve great things together as one school and one community. If you ask my daughter what she loves most about StM, she happily says, “Mom, at our school everyone is welcome and accepted!” Our school community includes the most supportive, caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around. I believe our culture of connection and support is why our students graduate well-prepared for college and life.

“I’m proud to be part of this group that believes everyone plays a role in loving and supporting every individual.”

I’m proud to be part of this group that believes everyone plays a role in loving and supporting every individual. I hope, as you’ve read through this issue of The Bell, you’ve enjoyed all the stories and photos of the individuals that make up our strong community. Maybe you felt a surge of pride, as I do each time I attend a school event, find out about a new accolade a student receives, or reconnect with my classmates. I feel so fortunate to be involved in such a wonderful school and couldn’t be more excited for its future. Sincerely,

Ana Mesa Ortega ’85 Chair of the Board of Trustees

THEN + NOW

THEN St. Martin’s Episcopal School first celebrated St. Martin’s Day in the 1950s, and the tradition has evolved throughout the years. The annual celebration honors the school’s patron saint and namesake. Throughout the decades the day has included dedications, skits, chapel services, games, and even a National Honor Society Induction. As pictured on St. Martin’s Day in 1977, Upper School students played games before an all-school picnic. By 1995, the tradition of games had evolved to organized competitions between grades. NOW Today, StM Day is one of the most beloved days on the school calendar. Woven throughout the fun-filled day are the three tenets of the school’s mission: Faith, Scholarship, and Service. The opening chapel service represents faith. The discovery hunt, which encourages students to work together and learn more about their school and community, emphasizes scholarship. In honor of St. Martin, who was known for his kindness, the student body spends the weeks leading up to St. Martin’s Day raising money for a selected charity. Through this, they practice service. Students still participate in games and end the day with an all-school picnic.
