MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear St. Martin’s Family and Friends, As I reflect on my nine years as Head of School at St. Martin’s, gratitude is the word that is pervasive in my thinking. Though the time was peppered with challenges and hurdles, the successes, victories, and opportunities have been nothing short of magical. The St. Martin’s community continues to be a vast and connected family, and this has always been our hallmark. A few years back, our valedictorian gave a remarkable speech, and while he was delivering his flawless address, his fingers were flying to solve a Rubik’s Cube. None of us knew that this was his intention, and the audience was captivated as we watched and listened to this talented young man accomplish both objectives simultaneously, and seemingly effortlessly. That same summer, when I visited a nearby coffee shop, whom did I discover behind the counter, waiting on me? This very same young man, our valedictorian. We exchanged a warm greeting before he had to go into the back kitchen to retrieve something. As soon as he stepped out, the women who usually wait on me inquired, with a sense of awe, how I knew him. I let them know that he was a recent graduate of St. Martin’s. They shared with me how impressed they were with him. He was so smart, kind, thoughtful, and capable. He could even make change without looking at the numbers on the cash register. They expressed that his presence brought a light into the coffee shop that hadn’t been there before, and they were so grateful to be working with him. Not all St. Martin’s students can solve a Rubik's Cube while delivering an impressive address, and most will not rise to the level of valedictorian. But what this young man has in common with his peers from St. Martin’s is his intelligence, his graciousness, his warmth, and his comfort level with new challenges. It has been an extreme pleasure to work with the faculty, staff, administration, and Board at St. Martin’s to create a learning environment that is challenging, nurturing, supportive, and

rigorous. Together we have designed and provided a uniquely innovative curriculum that teaches our students, from their very first days, how to think creatively, critically, collaboratively, and spiritually. From our early childhood play spaces to our Lower School Science and STeaM Labs, our chapel, our classrooms, courts, stage, and fields, and our Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design, we prepare our students to thrive in life and to embrace with confidence all that they will encounter. Next year marks our 75th year of following our mission to educate the young students who attend St. Martin’s to be fine, capable, and successful citizens of this world. The legacy of St. Martin’s is an honorable one, and filled with the promise of guiding and developing future leaders. My seven grandchildren are enrolled at St. Martin’s, and I look forward to visiting them and witnessing the continuation of this dynamic learning atmosphere. My hope is that, as they move through their learning years at St. Martin’s, they will become as accomplished as our talented valedictorian in ways unique to each of them. The love for and understanding of St. Martin’s that Ford Dieth expresses and embodies assures that our traditions and accomplishments will endure as he takes over the reins to lead the school toward the future. I will miss the day-to-day experiences as Head of St. Martin’s, but I look forward to cheering from the wings as our school soars into the future. That our students will continue to brighten their pathways is my sincere hope and expectation. My heart is filled with gratitude for all that I have experienced during my tenure at St. Martin’s. Thank you!

FORD JONES DIETH, JR. ’89 has been named Interim Head of School. Dieth has served St. Martin’s in numerous capacities since he returned to St. Martin’s as Head of Lower School in 2013. A valued member of the Leadership Team, he has helped direct St. Martin’s focus on campus safety as the head of the Safety and Security Committee and became the assistant head of school in 2019.

SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM NAMED LEADING CHAPTER BY THE NSDA

ROCK 'N

a SPRING VIRTUAL g MUSICAL PRODUCTION Not even a global pandemic could keep St. Martin’s Fine Arts Department from presenting its fabulous spring musical, “We Will Rock You.” The student cast, with Performing Arts Director Meredith LongDieth and Technical Theater Director Emily Ross, filmed a full-length performance of the rocking production with the 18-acre StM campus as the set. Most viewers streamed the performance on one of three nights from the comfort of their homes. In addition, the Performing Arts department was able to host an on-

campus, socially-distanced viewing party with concessions for the audience to purchase and munch on while enjoying the show.

This spring, the Upper School Speech and Debate Team was named a Leading Chapter by the National Speech and Debate Association. Each year, the Association designates one school in each of its 110 districts as the Leading Chapter for the district. It takes many years of commitment and support in speech and debate activities for a school to be given this honor, the highest honor the NSDA bestows upon a school. Pictured are Caroline Falgoust and Charles Patrick with the award. (Speech and Debate Team members not pictured include Nathan Chatagnier, Camila Figueroa, Hunter Richardson, and Gloria Ruiz.)

The production, which is based on the songs of the British rock band Queen, tells the story of a group of bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks, and acts the same. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden in this society, and rock music is all but unknown.

t. Martin’s chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) inducted 29 students as the newest members of the prestigious academic organization on March 31. The annual ceremony took place in the Solomon Theater where more than two dozen Saints were formally inducted into the NHS, increasing the StM chapter’s membership to 62.

The National Honor Society, founded in 1921, is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding students. More than just an honor roll, the NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These attributes have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning.

NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, and Canada. Membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments but also challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

In particular, each member participates in a tutoring program designed to pair NHS members with students from the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School who have requested academic support. NHS members also pursue their own individual projects in service to St. Martin's and the greater New Orleans community.

St. Martin’s NHS members contribute to the school community in many ways.

PRE-K STUDENTS

PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY DAY

Pre-kindergarten students were bursting with energy as they bounced from one station to the next in a pretend community. They worked and visited a gym, movie theater, concession stand, bowling alley, and more. The fun-filled activity was Lower School Community Day, a St. Martin’s tradition for nearly 30 years. Last year campus closed just prior to Community Day, but this year, with a little ingenuity, pre-k students were able to enjoy the tradition with just a few adjustments.

“Community Day benefits our students in so many ways,” said pre-k teacher Alma Roohi ’83. “Students learned firsthand the value of hard work and what it means to have a good work ethic. They gained respect for all jobs, paid and unpaid.”

For several weeks pre-k students learned about various community roles and responsibilities, as well as specific aspects of their community. On Community Day itself, half of the class worked the stations, while the other half shopped as customers. The activities also help students use money to practice their math skills. Children learned how to do mental math and grouping as they counted their profits for the day. “I’m proud to see our students learn how to work together as a team and how to serve others,” said Roohi. “Most importantly, they learned about St. Martin’s commitment to service by giving back to the greater community.”

Elizabethan Day REMAINS SPECIAL TRADITION FOR EIGHTH GRADERS

For more than 20 years, St. Martin’s eighth grade class has celebrated Elizabethan Day, a crosscurricular event that engages students in a study of English society from 1558 to 1603. This time in England’s history was marked by flourishing poetry, music, and literature. For students, the day is full of laughter and memorable moments.

Ford Jones Dieth ’89

Dr. Lori J. Despaux

NAMED INTERIM HEAD OF SCHOOL Board of Trustees Chair Patrick Comer has announced that Ford Jones Dieth ’89 has been named Interim Head of School following the departure of Dr. Merry Sorrells as Head of School. Comer also stated that the Board of Trustees will immediately begin the search for the next Head of School.

Dr. Lori J. Despaux has been named Interim Head of Lower School for the 2021-22 academic year. Dr. Despaux has 20 years of experience in independent schools as a classroom teacher and learning specialist spanning all lower school grade levels, pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. Additionally, she has taught undergraduate and graduate teacher education courses at Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans. She has served as a learning specialist at St. Martin’s since 2016.

“Anyone who knows him cannot help but feel [Ford’s] passion for StM,” said Comer. “As our Head of Lower School, Ford has not only led a team of teachers to create a loving and caring environment for our students but has done so while increasing enrollment.” Dieth has served St. Martin’s in numerous capacities since he returned to St. Martin’s as Head of Lower School in 2013. A valued member of the Leadership Team, he has helped direct St. Martin’s focus on campus safety as the head of the Safety and Security Committee. “I have known and loved St. Martin’s as a student, parent, and administrator for many years,” Dieth said upon being named interim head. “This school has been an integral part of my life and has helped shape me into the person I am today. For that, I am thankful.” During his tenure in the Lower School, he has overseen the selection of a new math curriculum, revamped report cards, and worked with a team to develop and implement a highly-effective early childhood literacy curriculum. As a result, various objective benchmarks show stronger academic achievement by Lower School students. Dieth graduated from Shenandoah University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1995 and received his Master of Education in 2006 from the University of New Orleans.

12 | The Bell

INTERIM HEAD OF LOWER SCHOOL

Before returning to St. Martin’s, he held a variety of roles at Grafton School in Berryville, Virginia, and at Christian Brothers School, Holy Rosary Academy, and Haynes Middle School (all in the New Orleans area). Dieth is a graduate of the Fellowship for Aspiring School Heads program sponsored by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). The program includes a year-long mentorship with a current head of school and one week of intense summer coursework with faculty at Emory University. Fellows are placed in five-person groups and spend the year researching and collaborating on topics to present at the NAIS Annual Conference. Dieth was one of roughly 100 candidates who were considered for the 50 spots in the fellowship program. Dieth and his family have strong connections to St. Martin’s. His wife, Meredith, serves as the Director of Performing Arts at St. Martin’s. Their children, Trey (rising sixth grader) and twins Kelly and Lee (rising third graders), are all StM students. Dieth’s brother and sisterin-law, Edmund ’93 and Suzanne ’92 Dieth, are also St. Martin’s graduates. His mother, Julie, was an StM kindergarten teacher for 31 years. His father, Ford Dieth Sr., served as president of the Dads’ Club and was most recently a Middle School religion teacher.

For more than three decades, Chuck Rivet was a fixture in the Upper School. He was a committed educator who worked tirelessly to instill an appreciation for and understanding of social studies concepts in his students. His goal was always to develop a student’s critical thinking ability. His classes aimed to challenge students to examine the ways in which events of the past led to the world we live in today. Throughout his lengthy tenure he taught World History, U.S. History, Civics, AP Government, AP Economics, Law Studies, and History of Vietnam. He served as chair of the Social Studies Department for nearly a decade. He was Dean of Students for many years as well. His duties have included club proctoring for numerous groups, including most recently the Key Club. In 2001 students dedicated The Shield, StM’s yearbook, to him. As a colleague he always strived to provide thoughtful service to his division, department, and peers. His consistent dedication to his position provided the Upper School with a wonderful teacher who will be dearly missed. Edwina O’Flynn has served the school in a variety of roles since joining the StM family in 1999. Initially, she worked as a part-time Development Office assistant. In the fall of 2003, she moved to the Business Office to serve as an operations clerk. While in that role she also helped in the Spirit Shop/bookstore. At the beginning of the 2004-05 school year, she found her home in the Middle School office where she was the Administrative Assistant until her retirement at the end of the 2019-20 school year. Though she officially retired in 2020, she continues to serve the school in various capacities, acting as a longterm substitute when needed. She embodied hard work and passion for her position. She constantly strived to make Middle School the best possible place for students in that division. She was a tireless professional, a helpful coworker, and a good friend.

HEARD ON CAMPUS

Reflections Silver Linings in a Pandemic There is no getting around how arduous the 2020-21 school year was. Yet in all that hard work, there were also some wonderful moments and some entirely unexpected silver linings. The Bell asked StM community members what silver linings they had found amid all the difficulty we have been through together.

“I got to spend more time with my family. My teachers learned more about Google Meet, so that I felt like I was in the classroom even when I was learning from home.” — Sly Johnson, Class of 2029 Lower School

“The way I was able to maintain and even build new bonds with students and teachers was something that was actually great about this year. Though I have always been able to do this at StM I feel like it was even more valuable because of the situation.” — Christopher Catinis, Class of 2021 Upper School

“During the lockdown period, our Cottage faculty went to incredible lengths to engage families, and grieved the loss of daily contact with their beloved students. When we returned, every teacher mentioned how grateful they were to be on campus and in person every day with ‘their kids.’ Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and for the Cottage teachers, it made their passions burn brighter!” — Holly Dalferes, Director of George Cottage

“The extra time spent at home due to the pandemic allowed me to thrive creatively and gave me freedom to improve my skills in art, music, and poetry.” — Isabel Lovera, Class of 2025 Middle School 44 | The Bell

Celebration of Spring

TREASURED TRADITIONS

THE TRADITION OF MAYPOLE

For hundreds of years, communities in various countries have celebrated the first day of May by watching dancers weave ribbons around a Maypole. Beginning in the early 1980s, St. Martin’s Lower School joined in this tradition as a way to celebrate the arrival of spring. Today, second grade students explore the season with nature walks and spring-themed poetry built into their curriculum. In addition, students perform dances and songs around the Maypole for an audience of parents, family, friends, and the Lower School student body. By Ford Jones Dieth ’89

lthough it was not a tradition when I was a student in Lower School, Maypole is one of my favorite Lower School traditions. I’ve seen our students weave ribbons around the Maypole as they perform in the Lower School quad many times. Our own StM Maypole celebration was especially moving for me as I watched my three sons participate in this fun day. Regardless of which children are involved, I love the event because of its associations with the season of spring. Spring at StM is such a happy time. As the year ends, there always seems to be a bit of nostalgia for the closing of another school year.

This event also is yet another showcase for St. Martin’s wonderful faculty and its approach to education. One of the many strengths of the Lower School curriculum is that we use a hands-on approach that makes

learning part of everything the students do. I love to see the way our second grade teachers weave elements of spring into different aspects of learning. Students investigate how places around the world celebrate spring, and they experience spring by using their senses while exploring on nature walks. Each year, the tradition continues as the students learn and perform a traditional Maypole dance to celebrate the start of May. Over the years different teachers have made adjustments to the event or put in their own additions, but it has always been with the interests of students at the center. As Head of Lower School, I have cherished this tradition and was extremely thankful we were able to maintain it in this unusual school year. Students were eager to perform their songs, dances, and ribbon weaving for their parents. It was so great to be able to

welcome Lower School parents on campus for the first time to watch their children perform, even while maintaining our health and safety procedures. I look forward to seeing this lovely event for many years to come.

Ford Jones Dieth ’89 is the interim head of school. He has been a member of St. Martin’s leadership team since he became head of Lower School in 2013, and previously served as the assistant head of school. He is a member of the 13-Year Club, having attended St. Martin's from kindergarten through his graduation in 1989. His wife, Meredith, is the Director of Performing Arts at St. Martin’s. Their children, Trey (rising sixth grader) and twins Kelly and Lee (rising third graders), are all StM students.

Letter

To the

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TRANSLATE FRENCH LETTER FROM WORLD WAR I hen Director of George Cottage Holly Dalferes’s aunt discovered a letter, written in French, among family papers, Dalferes knew just whom to turn to for help with translation. She contacted Middle School French teacher Mary Kay Beck, who jumped at the opportunity to bring a real-world scenario into the classroom and create an immersive learning experience for her students. As the students began to translate the letter, a touching story emerged. From the information contained in the letter, along with some research Dalferes’s aunt uncovered, Dalferes’s maternal great-great grandmother, Belle Ramsey, was identified as a recipient of the letter. It appears she was part of a group of people in the Austin, Texas area that exchanged letters with families of French soldiers who had been killed during World War I, leaving many French children fatherless and, effectively, without financial support.

46 | The Bell

The family believes the penpal relationships were set up through the church in which they were active members. Lillian Bordelon ’25 was one of the Middle School French students to translate the letter, uncovering this passage: “My husband was killed on the sixth of April in 1917 defending his country and leaving me with three little children. I teach them to love our dear American friends who helped us win and who by their generosity help also raise our little orphans.” Daniel Fink ’25 and Eamon Velasquez ’25 translated a paragraph in the letter to discover this message: “Who knows, Madame, the future will bring us together maybe and I will be able to show my gratitude.” Beck felt it was a great exercise for students.

INSIDE THE CLASSROOM

“It allowed them to work with a primary source as well as giving them a glimpse into the lives of everyday people in an extraordinary moment of history,” said Beck. “I'm sure there were thousands of war widows in Europe at that time who did not know how they were going to support their children. Apparently many Americans helped with this crisis, including some from Holly’s family.” Dalferes’s aunt plans to donate the letter and other items of genealogical interest to the Austin History Center, the local history division of the Austin Public Library. Dalferes is thrilled to have been able to connect her family’s history with students’ learning. “I am so pleased with the results, and my aunt Charlotte is grateful as well,” said Dalferes. “This is a great

snapshot of life post-WWI and I am thrilled to know that philanthropy like this was a part of our family history.”

As the students began to translate the letter, a touching story emerged.

The project is just one example of St. Martin's innovative approach to teaching that equips students with the skills and mindsets necessary to succeed in college and in life. Students solve real-world problems and focus on acquiring skills such as problemsolving, adaptability, empathy, and collaboration. Lessons like Beck’s letter translation project not only inspire students but also teach them the value of learning and creating in ways that can have a positive impact beyond the walls of a classroom. Facilitating the connection between the classroom and the real world drives intrinsic motivation and reinforces the concept that StM students can be a tremendous asset to their communities and the world.

Upper School club sponsors

YOUTH CLOTHING DRIVE

nspired by Martin de Tours, the school’s patron saint who gave half his cloak to a naked beggar, Clara Conatser ’21 formed a club to help provide clothing for at-risk children and teens throughout the city of New Orleans. Conatser says kids who are suddenly removed from dangerous environments often own nothing more than the clothes on their backs. The club aims to help youth feel stronger and more self-confident and hopes the recipients derive a measure of comfort from knowing that the gifts were purchased by caring teens. The club also provides formal or semi-formal clothing for school or other events. “I often take for granted just how blessed I am,” said Conatser. “Realizing that there are people my age who would give their right hand for a life like mine has made me so grateful for all of my blessings. It is easy to get so caught up in the petty annoyances of everyday life that we forget to be grateful. Through the Cloaks and Dresses Club, I hope to spread God’s love to those in my community who need it the most so that one day, they, too, can pass it on.”

Members of the Cloaks and Dresses Club collected clothing and raised funds to purchase new clothing to benefit local youth.

Club members raised funds and planned shopping expeditions. They also created clothing tags with words of encouragement such as inspirational quotes or scriptures to offer love, support, and comfort to children and teens in difficult situations. In addition, the club collected and donated hundreds of new and gently used clothing items worth thousands of dollars. Due to COVID-19, some of their planned fundraising activities were cancelled. However, the resourceful club members had two successful delivery bake sales over the summer of 2020, as well as other fundraising activities during the school year. Club members include Abbie Beck, Rikki Bourg, Kaylee Caracci, Clara Conatser, Prudence Dudley, Cami Figueroa, Grace Fleshman, Leven Greene, Katie LaForge, Diamond Lewis, Ryn Patin, Ava Richard, Catherine Ronquillo, and Rachel Royerre. Ms. Mary Bond is the club’s faculty advisor.

SEIZE the MOMENT, StM ON

Friday, March 13, 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards signed a proclamation that halted any gathering of more than 250 people and closed

all K-12 public schools statewide due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus in the state of Louisiana. By 2:00 p.m. that day, a message went out to parents and families letting them know St. Martin's campus would be closed beginning Monday, March 16. It was the last day students, faculty, and staff would set foot on campus for the 2019-20 school year.

The StM community immediately began reaching out and living up to the motto, “Together We Are Saints.” Despite remaining socially distanced and in lockdown for many weeks, students, parents, faculty and staff, families, and friends remained in contact and tried to make the best of the difficult situation. In the days, weeks, and months since that day in March 2020, members of the StM community have continued to support and lift each other up, truly earning the title of “Saints.”

We are all going through such hard times but we are so very

lucky to be at StM where our health, both physical and mental, are top priority. Looking at the positive things we still have can help so much in shifting our perspective from the negative to the positive. JORDAN WEINBERGER George Cottage faculty and parent of Sean ’31

HOW I SEIZE THE MOMENT

I Seize the Moment

by immersing myself

in my students.

Their stories, experiences, and personalities help me to live each moment for what it is. The joyful excitement of a kindergarten student is contagious. They help me to take those moments and run with them.

As my time at St. Martin's dwindles,

I cherish each laugh

and smile I share

with my classmates.

STEPHANIE GASPARD, Lower School faculty and parent of Ashley ’24

There are some days when discouragement sets in...

I try to come up with something different to do in my teaching that will shake things up a bit and energize the kids. This is not easy with all of the restrictions we have, but if I pray about it, something fresh will come to me.

PORTRAIT OF A

LEADER Dr. Sorrells’s portrait to hang in Martin Family Library Continuing a longstanding St. Martin’s tradition, Sorrells’s portrait will hang in the Martin Family Library in a gallery with other portraits of former heads of the school. Artist Luke Ahearn was commissioned to create this 20"x30" portrait.

54 | The Bell

The Bell asked the individuals who chaired the Board of Trustees during Sorrells’s tenure – Michael Nicoladis ’78, Stephen Huber ’89, Ana Mesa Ortega ’85, and Patrick Comer – to sift through all the moments of nine years and identify her primary through lines that carried the school forward in its mission to help students prepare for college and life through Faith, Scholarship, and Service.

Merry Sorrells’s Leadership Had Strategic Impact on St. Martin’s Mission As we highlight the effects of Merry Sorrells’s tenure for almost a decade as Head of School at St. Martin’s, you will see the gratitude of the StM community expressed in a variety of ways in this issue of The Bell. It simply is not feasible to list every remembrance from our community about the contributions she has made to the personal lives of students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners – the list would be endless. St. Martin’s is counting on you to share your memories personally with her of the moments she seized to enrich your lives.

Reflections on Dr. Sorrells' impact can be found everywhere this icon is seen.

As Dr. Merry Sorrells closes out her nearly decade-long tenure as head of school, St. Martin’s focus is on the appreciation it feels as an institution. This gratitude is centered on Sorrells’s role in seizing the ideas that came in a million moments to build out St. Martin’s mission in strategic ways.

Among others, three pivotal areas of her impact emerge.

The commitment to Innovation + Design initiatives through several iterations: • An enhanced STEAM program across all divisions • The development of our current Innovation + Design program • Fundraising for and construction of The Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design • Hiring of professional staff to integrate growth mindsets in instruction across the curriculum at all grade levels

“Merry recognized the need for change and did not shy away from tough decisions.”

The development of our International Student Program which created a microcosm of the global community in which all our students will live, welcoming students from Asia and Central America to the St. Martin’s community and designing academic courses in support of the program

The significant expansion of the George Cottage early childhood learning program: • To serve infants as young as eight weeks • To strengthen the Reggio Emilio-inspired design of the program • To expand and enhance facilities and grounds to accommodate the new learning focus

– Michael Nicoladis ’78

Spring/Summer 2021 | 55

A DECADE OF Tracking nearly 10 years of growth under the leadership of Head of School Dr. Merry Sorrells.

Progress

July 2012 Dr. Merry P. Sorrells steps into the role of Head of School. Sorrells brought stability to the school, taking over as St. Martin's fourth permanent head in eight years, and was the first woman to serve in the position.

2012

2013

Sorrells, along with Student Council President Jacob Thomas '20, presented a check to Cafe Reconcile on St. Martin's Day 2019.

“I was always impressed by her way of handling even the toughest situations with kindness, determination, and fairness.” – Ana Ortega ’85 56 | The Bell

Merry Sorrells and her beloved late husband, Kim, embraced a longstanding StM tradition by living on campus in the Van Slate House.

2014 October 2013 Sorrells launches one of her signature programs, the Innovation + Design program, with the opening of the school’s Idea Lab. As the first of its kind in the region, the Idea Lab was simultaneously a studio, classroom, and community workspace. Sorrells also added two faculty positions to implement the new curriculum: Director of Technology Learning, and Director of Innovation + Design.

“‘The Episcopal Church welcomes you’ has been the signpost for so many congregations for over 50 years. St. Martin’s, under Merry’s leadership, has continued that faith tradition such that all families regardless of background can find a home and family in our school.” – Patrick Comer Sorrells addresses students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Dan and Frances White Chapel on the first day of school in August 2012.

January 2015 St. Martin’s international program begins with the goal of helping to prepare students to become global citizens. The program has hosted students from China, Honduras, South Korea, and Vietnam.

September 2016

Sorrells addresses the student body at one of her favorite StM traditions: St. Martin's Day.

2015

2016

August 2015

St. Martin’s announces plans to build a new state-of-the-art building to serve as the hub of its Innovation + Design program. A groundbreaking was held two months later in October.

George Cottage infant program begins, offering care to students as young as eight weeks old.

Sorrells speaks to the crowd gathered at the George Cottage expansion blessing in September 2016. The addition increased the capacity of the Cottage by nearly 40 percent.

George Cottage building expansion is complete, and Sorrells helps cut the ribbon at the ceremony marking the milestone of the early childhood program.

2017

Sorrells visits with the Class of 2021 at its Senior Crawfish Boil on the Alumni Lawn at the Van Slate House.

Spring/Summer 2021 | 57

“Merry always focused on educating our children for the future they would be entering post-college, not for the world as it exists today. She is passionate about preparing the whole child for the future that awaits that child. Her emphasis and passion for the Idea Lab

was one example. Merry pursued outside funding from a host of donors to fund the development and construction of the first freestanding Idea Lab in New Orleans after reading about similar labs at MIT and Stanford. St. Martin’s, through Merry’s vision and leadership,

was a pioneer in this field. Every private school in the city has now followed suit and created its own version of an Idea Lab. It was this kind of forward thinking that served our children well, and will continue to serve them well in life after St. Martin’s.” – Stephen Huber ’89

June 2017

January 2017

Sorrells leads the charge to redesign St. Martin’s summer camp program, featuring three camps: Summer Day Camp, George Cottage Camp, and Theatre Camp. After the first summer, all three programs sold out and had immediate waiting lists.

May 2018 Sorrells earns her Doctorate of Education in Executive Leadership from the University of Holy Cross, New Orleans after successfully defending her dissertation, titled “An Action Research Study of an American High School as it Adapts to Support the Transition of Chinese Students.”

The Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design opens and Sorrells cuts another ribbon to the 4,900 square foot facility, which now serves as the centerpiece of the school’s Innovation + Design program.

2017

2018

March 2017 The Champions Club is established to provide the funding necessary to sustain St. Martin’s highquality, mission-driven athletic program.

2019 February 2019 Sorrells is named the president of the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) board of directors. She is the first woman president of the ISAS board of directors in its nearly 70-year history.

Sorrells at the Lower School bell on the first day of school in August 2018.

“Merry always kept faith and family values at the forefront and sought to enhance St. Martin’s Episcopal identity.” – Michael Nicoladis ’78 58 | The Bell

Sorrells meets with pre-k students after they visited the "Magic Pumpkin Patch" on the Alumni Lawn at the Van Slate House in October 2020.

August 2019 The George Cottage enrollment swells to 108. During Sorrells’s first year as head of school, the enrollment in the Cottage was 36. The school’s overall enrollment grew 16.3% during Sorrells’s tenure.

May 2021

March 2020 Sorrells leads the school through an unprecedented global pandemic. With the support of the Board of Trustees, she made a commitment to faculty and staff to continue to pay salaries, such as dining hall staff, while the campus remained closed.

2020

The Dr. Sorrells Top 10 Summer Activities List becomes a permanent tradition for Lower School students.

June 2021 Sorrells departs after nine years of leadership.

2021 May 2020 Sorrells directs the proceeds from the 2020 Gala (as well as from other sources) to be used for the newly-formed Tuition Relief Fund, which helped provide a bridge to support StM families financially impacted by the pandemic.

January 2021 The Lower School science lab refresh is complete. The project doubled the physical space of the existing science classroom, creating an experience-focused learning environment to support protected and age-appropriate science experimentation in Lower School.

“Dr. Sorrells is a consummate academic and constantly strives to increase academic excellence. She pioneered the Design Thinking approach to innovation at St. Martin’s, which had an impact all the way to Lower School. Dr. Sorrells was also the visionary for the funding and building of The Gibbs Family Center for Innovation + Design, the first of its kind in our area.” – Patrick Comer

The Show

Must Go On VIRTUAL GALA ATTENDEES TREATED TO FUN-FILLED INTERACTIVE EVENTS

When it comes to a celebration, where there’s a will, there’s a way. St. Martin’s first-ever virtual Gala proved that a pandemic was not going to stop a party, especially one for a good cause. The “Show Must Go On” Gala saw two nights of virtual events — for adults and families alike — along with a fabulous online silent auction. The result was interactive fun with the proceeds benefiting the school’s tuition assistance program, faculty “wish list” items, and campus enhancements. Friday night’s Family Circus, led by ringmasters F.D. Barnum (Ford Dieth, Jr. ’89) and Ethel Bailey (Ethel Madden), was a fun-filled night with an interactive virtual event that featured bingo games, a live magician, and even a performance by acrobatic cats. Attendees enjoyed taking home an exciting goodie box that included a make-your-own-pizza kit, gourmet popcorn, an StM cookie decorating kit, and an StM door hanger kit. On Saturday night, Robby Seacrest (Robby Stanley) hosted an Evening of Shining Stars. Attendees dressed up for a night of interactive fun featuring wine and cheese presentations from St. James Cheese Company and Epoch Estates Winery. Guests were also treated to a live performance by New Orleans’ own Kermit Ruffins. Patrons enjoyed taking home a curated box that included wine by Epoch Estates Winery, assorted cheeses, a set of stemless acrylic wine glasses, and gourmet desserts. Gala Chair Allison DeViney ’92 and the Gala committee made a special effort to help support local businesses that have been hit hard by the pandemic. DeViney and the committee reached out to StM parents and asked them to support local shops, restaurants, and businesses by purchasing gift cards that were then donated to the Gala silent auction.

“It has been a really difficult year for so many local businesses and entrepreneurs,” said DeViney. “It was really important for us as members of the StM community to do what we could to support so many of them... Our school’s motto is ‘Faith, Scholarship, and Service’ and it has been exciting to be able to support our school while living up to that StM promise.” The entire event not only brought StM families and friends together in a manner that has been sorely missed this year, but also supported the school in a significant way.

StM is grateful for the enthusiastic commitment of our tournament committee and volunteers led by tournament chair Stephen LaCoste. A very special thank-you is extended to our tournament sponsor, Eustis Insurance & Benefits | A Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC, for

TEACHER FEATURE

IN A CHALLENGING YEAR, StM'S SCHOOL NURSE GAVE

EILEEN SMILARI, M.S.N., School Nurse, Student Services Department Chair

“

Our community has remained as safe as possible throughout this extremely trying year, and that is without a doubt a testament to her. —Interim Head of School Ford Jones Dieth '89

If you think the life of a school nurse is simple — just bandaging scraped knees and taking temperatures — think again. In the years since School Nurse Eileen Smilari began at St. Martin’s in 1998, she has tackled a number of community health issues — from outbreaks of lice to instances of communicable diseases such as hand, foot, and mouth. But none of these compared to her work to help keep St. Martin’s faculty, staff, students, and community safe as the school faced this unprecedented global pandemic. The weeks since March 2020 have put school nurses and other healthcare professionals to the test like no other. From the earliest days of the pandemic, before the mandatory shut-down of schools in Louisiana, Smilari was monitoring COVID-19 and preparing contingency health plans for the StM community. She maintained extremely close contact with Ochsner Health System and the Louisiana Department of Health, and followed ever-changing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. “Eileen has been of extraordinary service to St. Martin’s for more than two decades, but I am sure no year tested her patience, thoughtfulness, organization, or stamina more than this year,” said Interim Head of School Ford Dieth ’89. “Eileen exemplifies St. Martin’s ideals of Faith, Scholarship, and Service. We are so lucky to have her as part of our school community.” Upon graduating from Fairfield University School of Nursing in Connecticut, Smilari began her nursing career at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. She went on to earn her MSN in Nursing Administration from Hunter College in New York City in 1990. Much of her early career was spent in patient services and home health care in the New York area. She moved to Louisiana in 1998 and began working at St. Martin’s as the school’s full-time, licensed registered nurse. In 2018, she was named the chair of the Student Support Services Department. Throughout the summer of 2020, Smilari was instrumental in getting St. Martin’s Summer Care off the ground and was an invaluable resource as the school made careful preparations to re-open campus for the 2020-21 school year.

School in Louisiana

Eileen has been of extraordinary service to St. Martin’s for more than two decades, but I am sure no year tested her worked extensively with Ochsner Health System to create the health and safety protocols that helped keep St. Martin’s campus as safe as possible during the school year.

patience, thoughtfulness, organization, or stamina more than this year.

The school year opened at a breakneck pace for Smilari as she maintained regular contact with families affected by COVID-19. She helped teachers and administration work through specific classroom scenarios to remain in compliance with COVID protocols. She also worked closely with families, helping to identify any possible close contact in quarantine situations. She prepared innumerable individual and mass communications to families, keeping them abreast of any updates. Her tireless work was noticed by scores of faculty and administrators, parents, and students. “Our community has remained as safe as possible throughout this extremely trying year, and that is without a doubt a testament to her. Eileen spearheaded a number of controls that helped keep our campus safe. We could not have had as successful a year as we did without her excellent guidance and steadfast work.”

St. Martin’s Episcopal School is the first designated Project ADAM and Ochsner HeartSafe school in Louisiana. Project ADAM is a national nonprofit program intended to help schools in all communities build CPR-AED or Public Access Defibrillator programs. St. Martin’s earned the coveted Project ADAM classification by successfully implementing a high-quality awareness, training, and effective emergency response program to address sudden cardiac arrest. The goal is to provide a certified Heart Safe environment for students, visitors, and staff. According to Interim Head of School Ford Jones Dieth, Jr. ’89, this designation recognizes the work that has been spearheaded by School Nurse and Head of Student Support Services Eileen Smilari.

“I applaud Nurse Smilari for spearheading this effort, on top of everything else she has had to tackle this school year,” Dieth said. “Eileen consistently goes above and beyond to keep our StM community and campus safe.” Smilari says she is thrilled that St. Martin’s is working with Ochsner and is Project Adam certified. “This extra training and resources can help keep our community safe,” said Smilari. “To be able to extend this training to the majority of our faculty is a true benefit to all in our school community.”

Above and beyond all her COVID-specific tasks, Smilari continued to develop plans for student care based on assessment, interventions, identification of outcomes, and the evaluation of care. She served as a consultant to other school professionals, such as food service personnel for students with allergies. She also provided health-related education to students and staff in both individual and group settings. “Eileen is a blessing to work with,” said Lower and Middle School Counselor Christina Heath, who works regularly with Smilari as part of the Student Support Services Department. “The devotion and care that she has for our families is second to none. Eileen has a graceful method of advocating for our students while maintaining their privacy. “Her understanding, and goal of meeting every child’s needs in every way — academically, socially, emotionally, and physically — comprise just a small part of what makes Eileen so talented and amazing at what she does,” continued Heath. “She’s action-oriented and strives to develop wellness plans for any community member in need. Eileen truly is the backbone of Student Support Services!” Spring/Summer 2021 | 67

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Interview with of the Class of 1972 Sartain an independent director and human resources advisor. With a distinguished 40-year career in human resources, she is also an author and frequent speaker. She led human resources at Yahoo! and Southwest Airlines during transformative periods. Both companies were among Fortune magazine’s “Best Places to Work” during her tenure. Sartain now serves on the board of directors of ManpowerGroup and of AARP, and is the chair of the AARP Foundation. She is a former board chair of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the immediate past chair of the SHRM Foundation Board. She formerly served on the boards of Peet’s Coffee and Tea, and Shutterfly Inc. Sartain is a member of St. Martin's Board of Visitors.

What are some of your fondest memories from St. Martin’s? “The Class of 1972 was such a fantastic class and I have many fond memories. First, some of us convinced our favorite school administrator, assistant headmaster Robert Cairns, to help us add musicals to St. Martin’s cultural offerings. We put on our production of The Boy Friend in a dinner theater, cabaret setting in the old cafeteria, which was in an old barn. A spaghetti dinner was served for the performances. My close friends Priscilla Rutledge and Tommy Capps played the leads, and Wright Eavenson and I played the comedic counterparts, with many others playing supporting roles. It was so much fun, and we hope we introduced a new tradition to StM. “We also started something called Senior Weird Day. We decided all the seniors would dress up in weird outfits for the day. (Tommy Capps and I started that one!) And, since many of us who participated also were on the yearbook staff, we made it official! “We didn’t have cars, so seniors and juniors were allowed to carpool. We each drove one day a week using our parents’ cars. Our carpool started going to Café Du Monde every Friday. Before long, half the class and many of our teachers joined us. We used to pick up our English teacher, Mr. Edmonson, on our way down to the café. It was so much fun.”

What advice would you give current StM Students? “Enjoy your time at St. Martin’s, and participate in activities that spark your interests. Don’t be afraid to take on leadership roles. ...I didn’t miss a chance to get involved and have fun while participating. This prepared me with leadership skills, team building and team member skills, and the ability to get things done while pivoting when necessary. I didn’t realize how far ahead I was of other students until I got to college. My academic skills were advanced, but so were some of the softer skills that led to my success in business.”

You have had an extremely successful career. What are you most proud of? “I have had the great fortune of being in a key leadership role in several of America’s best companies to work for — companies that are or were known for their stellar culture and people. Looking back now, I am most proud to see the accomplishments of all the people that I have had a small role in hiring, developing, and mentoring over the years. Several times a year, I get notes from people retiring or moving to a new role…who thank me for taking a chance on them. I love seeing people learn and grow, and I suspect I learned to love that as I was mentored at St. Martin’s and other educational and business settings.”

How did you “seize the moment” this past year, during the pandemic? “I signed up for virtual webinars to hone my skills in corporate governance, DE&I, and executive compensation and taught some of these skills through webinars to others. I was able to convert some of my consulting work to online work and, to my surprise, it was worthwhile. “I honed my cooking skills by watching cooking shows, and tried many new recipes. “One funny story is that, early on, I was so bored that I decided to make masks for my family and friends when masks were not readily available. I learned to sew at St. Martin’s in junior high but hadn’t done so for at least 20 years, short of mending or sewing on a button. I connected with classmate Jamie Hauser through Facebook. She shared with me an online pattern recommended for health professionals. I made over 250 masks for my friends and fellow church members. I was reminded of how much I loved sewing and I hope I can continue to use those skills. “I currently serve on several for-profit and notfor-profit boards, and we learned to continue our work through Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I think the pandemic has changed the way we will work permanently. We learned that we can be flexible and work virtually, and that some mixture of in person and virtual work is probably possible and ideal.”

What have you taken away from this experience of working and living through a pandemic? “I learned to never take for granted my time with friends and family. Now that we have re-entered, I am treasuring every moment! My youngest niece was recently married, and the entire family attended. We couldn’t wait to see each other and give each other hugs!”

In the Spring/Summer 2018 issue of The Bell, I proudly wrote of watching my son, Diego (’18), graduate from St. Martin’s. As a graduate of the Class of 1985, I am grateful that I have been able to share the StM experience with my son and now with my newly-graduated daughter, Sofia. I am so proud of all her accomplishments and how she “seized” every moment and opportunity during her 16 years at StM. In that article, I spoke about how bittersweet it is to watch your child walk across the stage at graduation. It was bittersweet then and remains so now. I have always valued what an accomplishment it is to become a St. Martin’s alum, but never more so than as I’ve watched the Classes of 2020 and 2021 come of age in this unbelievable time in history. When the COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from publishing the 2020 issue of The Bell, I was unable to write my final message as Board Chair. That, as it turns out, was a blessing in disguise because now I can write it in the issue that features my daughter as a graduate. I’d like to offer the Classes of 2020 and 2021 the same advice I gave to the Class of 2018. While our world surely looks different now than it did three years ago, the lessons you learned as StM students will carry you forward the same way as they have for the generations of StM alums before you. As you move on to the next stage in your life, I want to share with you some of what I have learned throughout my time at St. Martin’s: Get involved in your colleges. Many of you are going off to a college where you will not know anyone. Get to know the people around you. Don’t be afraid to branch out and try something completely new.

The longest distance between any two points is the shortcut. Wanting something immediately means you will probably pay later. Be willing to be patient, work hard, get dirty, and have blisters. Remember that you always have a choice, no matter what the situation may be. Show gratitude to everyone who has

helped you get to where you are today. Success is not measured by your job, your education, how much money you have, or what kind of car you drive. Success is measured by who you are, how you treat others, and how you lead your life. And finally, remember: There is no place like home. Always know you are welcome at St. Martin’s. I hope you will return to your alma mater often and realize, as I have, what a wonderful school and community it is. St. Martin’s has prepared you for not only college, but also for your life ahead. Congratulations, StM alums. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish! Sincerely, Ana Mesa Ortega ’85 Outgoing Chair [2020] of the Board of Trustees

...StM decided to Seize the Moment, to shine

I started my tenure as Chair of the Board of through, and show the Trustees last July. St. Martin’s, like all schools, was grappling with how to manage the rapidly world our better selves. changing environment around COVID and how we were going to be able to support our students, parents, faculty, administration, and staff. The summer of 2020 included the murder of George Floyd and intense discussions about race. Let us also not forget the presidential election and its aftermath. All of this included a challenging environment for our jobs, businesses, and supply chains. Any one of these would be too much, and the combination of them all could have been overwhelming to our community. And yet, StM decided to Seize the Moment, to shine through, and show the world our better selves. Obviously, we aren’t going to agree on approaches to all of the challenges of the day, but we are united in our values: Faith, Scholarship, and Service. The Episcopal Church grounds us in the tenets of providing a welcoming environment for all. We focused on Scholarship, even if we are distant learning. And our Service, to each other, our school, and our community, has never been stronger. If we can survive and thrive through all the obstacles of 2020, then nothing can stop us. Now is your time to step up. Your school has never needed your support like now. It was obvious that you should help during the pandemic… but it’s those that show up after the cameras have left that make all the difference.

THEN Twenty-five years ago, the Class of 1995 posed for a photo in front of the Van Slate House. Wearing tuxedos and white dresses to commencement has been a St. Martin’s tradition since its first graduating class in 1951. The school’s archives include each senior class taking a similar group photo since at least the mid-1990s.

NOW Not even a pandemic and social distancing could keep the Class of 2020 from participating in this beloved tradition. With the help of technology, the Class of 2020 was able to continue this decades-long StM tradition by taking individual graduation pictures that were Photoshopped together.

2021

This year, the Class of 2021 was eager to gather in person on Commencement Day to take its iconic group photo.
