2019-2020 Annual Report of Giving
John H. Tucker, Jr. Co-Chairman
Founded in 2005 by the James Barry Robinson Trust, Saint Patrick is an independent Catholic school with an enrollment of approximately 400 students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Eight. We are committed to educating the whole child through our distinct model for educational success that allows us to celebrate the gifts of every child. Enrollment is open to children from all faith traditions, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, and spiritual instruction is designed to help the child as well as the family as they continue along their own faith journey. Saint Patrick Catholic School admits qualified students of any race, color, gender, ethnicity, national origin, or disability (if reasonable accommodations can be assumed by the school).
FROM THE DESK OF... Dear Friends of Saint Patrick Catholic School, The 2019-2020 school year was full of many amazing moments and remarkable achievements in academics, athletics, the arts, and community service. It was also, undeniably, a year of challenge, creativity, commitment, and constancy. Life is full of challenges that require us to embrace change. Change is the core of transformation and is founded upon a growth mindset. Education opens us to new ways of thinking, new solutions. This past year, we have had to reimagine every aspect of education. Working with the fundamental dynamics of our mission, teachers and staff, along with our parents, we have had to re-imagine the tools and techniques we use and adapt them. The expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of our talented faculty and staff, who pivoted on a dime to provide digital learning through engaging instruction and project-based lessons, inspired our students to excel rather than remain stagnant. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to shut our physical doors last March, our Wolfhound community joined hands (figuratively), in an incredible expression of support. This unwavering commitment to our legacy of quality and leadership inspires our combined efforts to nurture the highly intentional, total formation of youth.
The constancy of our faith, values and virtues that we have inculcated is the bedrock of the foundation that will allow our children to make decisions in successful and dynamic ways and to thrive in these unprecedented times. Our school was founded on the primacy of relationship, and our incredible partnerships with our parents, volunteers, and donors sustain our mission. We need your prayers and financial support, now more than ever, to meet the educational needs of our students, while keeping the health and safety of our Wolfhound community our highest priority. Thank for your belief in what we do and your generosity to ensure the mission and legacy of Saint Patrick Catholic School through these difficult times. With gratitude,
Stephen J. Hammond Principal

year-in-review Highlights From our Banner Year: 2019-2020 LIFE OF MIND For ten days during the summer of 2019, the Saint Patrick Catholic School STEM team returned to the University of Notre Dame to complete their second year as a part of the Trustey Family STEM Teaching Fellows. They had to go virtual for their mid-year checkin and finished up their final summer of coaching and peer collaboration remotely. The STEM Trustey fellows will continue to focus on incorporating cross-curricular STEM activities across all grade levels. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Spanish Department hosted our annual Fiesta Latina, showcasing the histories, cultures, and contributions of a variety of Latin and South American countries. Additionally, Hispanic families shared their stories about their own journey to the United States in classrooms throughout the month of October. Our two Learning Resource Center teachers completed a Dyslexia Advocate Program through the Dyslexia Training Institute at the end of December. These teachers supported over 30 students during the school day. Additionally, specific faculty members provided students with academic support after the school day as tutors or homework guides. Our Saint Patrick Catholic School Theatre Troupe had a particularly busy fall with not one, but two productions. The Troupe delighted audiences in November with S2S, a fun show featuring songs from popular Broadway musicals and movies! In December, audiences were treated to Bethlehem Inn, an interactive dinner-theater production written and directed by our Theater Director, Rocco Wilson, and his wife Kathi-Lee Wilson. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close school temporarily, our faculty and staff met immediately and began working on an online learning plan. An a-synchronous learning plan was implemented and presented to parents 48 hour later. Just two weeks later when Governor Ralph Northam mandated that all K-12 schools would close for the remainder of the year, Saint Patrick developed a new synchronous learning plan combining Annual Report of Giving
a-synchronous work as well as synchronous live classes through ZOOM. The teachers provided daily synchronous instruction in Language Arts or Mathematics, as well as asynchronous experiences in Religion, science, and Social Studies. Specialty teachers provided explorations in Art, Music, Spanish, and Physical Education. Fridays for a Purpose provided lessons to students and families on how to stay emotionally healthy, as well as how to bring their faith to action in the community. Many teachers facilitated special projects to keep students engaged, including virtual field trips, science experiments, scavenger hunts, lunch chats, flat-teacher adventures, book clubs, creating virtual zoos, writing superhero stories, virtual field day, tower-building contests, and creating art. Five early childhood educators participated in the Teaching Young Children Virtually Bootcamp in April. Lower School Teachers engaged in 1:1 coaching with the instructional technology facilitator and in many webinars to learn about technology applications for instruction. One Seventh Grade student received Highest Honors in the The WordMasters Challenge™ - a national vocabulary competition based on completing analogies. Highest Honors is awarded to students finishing among the top 10-15 students in the country at their grade level. In addition, one Eighth Grade student and one Sixth Grade student earned High Honors by finishing among the top two percent of all competitors at the grade levels. Five Middle School students advanced to the State National History Day Contest. These students advanced to the state-level contest after placing first or second in their divisions at the Regional National History Day Contest. One Eighth Grade student was selected to compete in the National History Day competition in June.
LIFE OF RELATIONSHIP This past fall marked the ninth year our families hosted students from the Rochester School in Bogota, Colombia. The Rochester School, like Saint
5 Patrick Catholic School, is an independent Catholic School and a Glasser Quality School. Four students stayed for ten weeks earning transferable credits for their school. They were also able to participate in our fall sports programs. Additionally, two sisters from The Rochester School chose to spend the entire school year with us, completing their year virtually from Colombia. Saint Patrick hosted the inaugural Sajo Farm Classic, a classic and antique car show featuring over 70 vehicles on the beautiful grounds on Sajo Farm in Virginia Beach. This first-time event was a great success, raising over $7000 for Saint Patrick Catholic Financial Aid, and helped us to further promote our school’s mission of Total Formation to greater the Hampton Roads community. Students in Pre-K through Sixth Grade shared the gift of song with our grandparents and “grand friends” at the Grandparent’s Day Program under the direction of Chris Kypros. Following the program, Fifth through Eighth Grade shared their visual arts talents by presenting a Middle School Art Show in the Francis and Harvey L. Lindsay, Jr. Art Connector. Seventh and Eighth Grade students served as gallery hosts and docents. We celebrated the 15th anniversary of Evenings at Saint Patrick, a series of over 50 enrichment classes for adults in our community on a variety of topics including cooking, wine and spirits, music, crafts, wellness and more. We added many new classes to this year’s line-up, which were very popular with our attendees. Construction of the new Outdoor Classroom was completed this spring. We utilized this space for a number of the Eighth Grade Graduate at Graduation panel presentations, as it allowed for proper social distancing in an outdoor setting. This incredible new outdoor space along with the enhancements made to our wetlands area with the building of the pier and creation of a Memorial Garden, “A Garden for All God’s Creatures”, in memory of Julia Delaney Hayes and Rebecca Anne Burlingame, offer a singular outdoor education experience for our students. For the third year, Saint Patrick was selected to receive a Virginia Naturally School Award from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Saint Patrick Catholic School was awarded the Pearl
School Award and recognized by the Lynnhaven River Now Members for the efforts that teachers and students put forth to sustain our environment. This past spring, in recognition our amazing faculty, many students and their families visited teachers’ homes with drive-by parades or sent them cards and pictures. In recognition of National Teacher Appreciation day, treats were delivered to each teacher’s front door, postcards were emailed from their students, staff sent video messages of gratitude, a photo memory presentation of retreats was shared on Throwback Thursday, and a Teacher Appreciation Parade ended the week. The teachers received cupcakes and a “joy jar” containing student messages. Likewise, many teachers celebrated their students with end-of-year caravans to deliver mementos.
LIFE OF SPIRIT We welcomed our new school chaplain for the 2019-2020 school year, Father Eric Ayers. Father Eric is also serving as the new Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Father Jim Curran, Basilica of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception, has served our school faithfully for over five years and assisted Father Eric during his transition and with our Third through Eighth Grade individual class Masses. We are extremely grateful for the support of these priests. Eight Grade students participated in their annual overnight retreat at Camp Silver Beach on the Eastern Shore. Part of this retreat experience involved a visit to two migrant farm worker camps to deliver donations collected by the school. The students were also able to extend their ministry to Father Michael who conducted Mass for the migrant workers. Our students read the readings in English and Spanish and served as Altar servers. Our faith-learning community, “Authentically Catholic, Warmly Ecumenical”, celebrated our friends of other faiths with love and intentionality on Christian Unity Day. We had twelve priests and ministers in attendance from eleven different churches and six faith traditions, further deepening the faith of our students. The 13th Station of the Cross - Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross – was dedicated virtually this year on the final morning of school. The Station Saint Patrick Catholic School | STPCS.ORG

of the Cross was blessed by our friend, Father Jim Curran. Bricks with the names of each Eighth Grade student surround the base of this station marking the Eighth Grade students’ legacy to the school. Our Fifth through Eighth Grade students posted stellar results again this year on the Assessment of Catechetical Religious Education (ACRE). They have scored above the national average for the past sixteen years.
LIFE OF VOCATION Led by the Seventh Grade, students collected money for the Bahamas and items such as baby supplies, cleaning supplies, and toiletries, in conjunction with Catholic Charities of NC, for those in affected by Hurricane Dorian. Over 60 Middle School students served as student ambassadors as part of our Legati program. The students lead the Snapshot Tours of school during the year and served as hosts for school-wide special events. Almost half of the Fifth Grade students volunteered to serve this year. The Third Grade students continued to focus their efforts on recycling, leading the school-wide collection of plastic film for the TREX recycling project as well as recycling markers, highlighters, and expo markers for the CRAYOLA ColorCyle program. Fifth Grade collected back packs, snacks, and coins for their “God’s Got Your Back Pack and a Snack” service project. All items were donated to ForKids, a local organization assisting homeless children in our region. Our Middle School Girl Scout Troop built and will be maintaining a Little Lending Library on the edge of our soccer field. Saint Patrick received an award from Bishop Barry C. Knestout, Diocese of Richmond, for our school’s work with the Migrant Farm Workers on the Eastern Shore. The award was for hours of service. The Laudato Si Committee met monthly to discuss ways the students and community could be better stewards of Earth. The committee focused on a school-wide recycling program, and looked at ways we can reduce emissions to help keep our air clean. The committee is developing a proposal for a solar collection station for the school. Our Pre Kindergarten and Kindergarten students participated in a virtual Trike-a-Thon in May to benefit the Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters and raised Annual Report of Giving
$6,170. This is an incredible amount, especially given our current environment. Pre-K students also participated in the Anthem LemonAid program that raised over $400.00 for cancer patient care. Our entire Wolfhound community answered the call during the COVID-19 quarantine by donating canned goods and coins to the Cans and Coins for the Community project. We collected more than $2500 in coins, cash, and checks, as well as mountains of food donations to feed the less fortunate in our region. Donations were distributed to two Catholic ministries: The Basilica of Saint Mary’s Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen and The Catholic Worker. Thank you, Wolfhounds, for answering the call to serve the hungry in our city.
PHYSICAL LIFE Eighty-eight percent of our Third through Eighth Grade students participated in at least one of our eight sports offered. Basketball was by far the most popular sport. The Middle School Gold Boys Soccer Team won their seventh straight ETIS soccer championship, while the Middle School Green Boys Soccer Team finished strong with a 13-1 record. Our Cross Country team dominated the competition again this year. The Cross County Girls Team finished in first place and our Boys Team finished second overall. One Wolfhound boy was named co-champion in the Catholic Cross Country championship. The Middle School Green Volleyball Team secured the number #1 seed with the best regular season record. A school-record and league-high 20 basketball teams competed this season, finishing in first place in five of the six divisions. Although cut short due to COVID-19, this was arguably the Wolfhounds’ best season yet. Field Day was a fun-filled day for our Wolfhounds! While we couldn’t hold this event on school grounds this year, our families had the opportunity to participate in Field Day fun at home. Students gathered the required household items and spent the morning completing traditional activities such as the 50-yard dash, the bear crawl, and an egg relay, as well as creative challenges such as “the floor is lava,” “secret message relay,” “sock-er-skee ball,” and a “popcorn shoe relay.” Our students had to get creative and use problem-solving skills for some of the activities, and were challenged to show off their athletic prowess for others.
leaving his legacy Standing six feet, seven inches tall, Mr. John H. Tucker, Jr. is quite an impressive man. Even more impressive is his background in education. His list of achievements is as long as he is tall. His passion for shaping and molding young minds, his leadership in independent school education, his love of the Fine Arts, and his innate ability to fundraise are unmatched in our community. His career in education spans sixty-five years. He began teaching at Norfolk Academy in 1955. In 1970, he moved to Roanoke to serve as the Headmaster for the North Cross School. After eight years in Roanoke, he returned to Norfolk Academy to lead the school as Headmaster, eventually retiring in July of 2000. Or, so he thought. Saint Patrick Catholic School was nothing more than an idea in the year 2000. The James Barry Robison Trust had proposed to build a new Catholic school on the west side of Norfolk, the first new Catholic school in the area in fifty years, with a goal that the school would be not only one of the best Catholic schools in the country, but also affordable and accessible to as many families as possible. Chuck McPhillips, a James Barry Robinson Trust Board Member, knew just the person to ask to serve as the educational consultant for this new school. And the rest, they say, is history. John Tucker’s impact on Saint Patrick is immeasurable. From his input on the physical building, to the core curriculum with an emphasis on public speaking, Mr. Tucker’s role as our Educational Consultant has been transformational. In looking back, Mr. Tucker says that one of his
most significant achievements was the role he played in “tracking down Steve Hammond and bringing him on board as Principal.” His creation of the Celtic Cross Society for Planned Giving is another in his list of significant achievements. Mr. Tucker was keenly aware that instituting an endowment program was essential in ensuring that students receive a quality education for years to come. He established the Celtic Cross Society to honor individuals who have made a commitment to Saint Patrick through deferred giving. Planned gifts made to Saint Patrick are invested in perpetuity, with a portion of investment income used each year to offset a variety of school expenses. Mr. Tucker is transitioning in his role at Saint Patrick. Mr. Tucker stated, “It has been great to be a part of the school and to assist in making it what it is today, but my physical presence is no longer needed.” That said, he is still “ready, willing, and able to help.” Mr. Tucker will now serve as Co-Chair, along with Mrs. Jane P. Batten, of the newly formed Saint Patrick Catholic School Foundation. This mission of this foundation is to hold and manage the endowment to support financial aid, faculty development, operating needs, and capital projects. With these two at the helm, guiding the Foundation, the future of Saint Patrick will remain undoubtedly bright.

A Classic Event What do you get when you combine over 70 antique cars, a crisp fall day, and a beautiful outdoor venue? A “Classic” event! The inaugural Sajo Farm Classic Car Show was held on Saturday, November 2, 2019, on the expansive grounds of Sajo Farm in Virginia Beach. Ray and Derinda Bunch, friends of Saint Patrick and classic car enthusiasts, graciously hosted this event on their property to benefit Saint Patrick Catholic School Financial Assistance.
with the assistance of Ray and Derinda Bunch, the Sajo Farm Classic Car Show was born. As George stated, “In my opinion, this is the most incredible fundraiser for Saint Patrick. It is just pure FUN! To see it evolve to this level has been very fulfilling and heartwarming for me, and to be able to do this with my son is so special. I realized years ago that Saint Patrick is the type of school you want to keep helping long after your children have attended there.”
An amazing array of classic and antique cars was on display that afternoon. Attendees talked to car owners and heard stories of their prized possessions, while enjoying food by Mission BBQ, wine and beer tastings, and live music by Dan Pellegrino as well as Mike Powers and Jeff McLaughlin of the Fighting Jamesons. VIP ticket holders were treated to hors d’ouevres and bourbon tastings led by bourbon aficionado Stanley Lawson in the Guest House.
As the event grew, so did the planning committee. Several other parents of Saint Patrick students joined including Phil Grathwol and Michael Willette. Phil shared the following about this event, “Owning a 1965 Ford Mustang, I’m involved with the Mustang Club of Tidewater and other car clubs in the area, so one of my responsibilities is reaching out to them to promote our show. After our huge success last year and the quality of cars that turned out, I see it as having great potential to be one of the premiere car shows in the area.”
The idea for the car show started over six years ago, when car enthusiasts George Neskis, alumni parent, and his son Nicholas, Class of 2017, shared their desire to put together a showcase of local classic cars with fellow Saint Patrick parents Mike Glenn and Erika McCullough. The first event featured 20 classic cars in the side parking lot of Saint Patrick. The event grew even bigger over the next few years and in 2017, the event was moved off campus to Doumar’s, thanks to the generous offer by Saint Patrick parent Thad Doumar. Exposure and interest increased at this new location, and more car owners came out to display their cars. In 2019, George brought the idea and dream of an East Coast “Concours d’ Elegance” to the planning table, and
An event of this size and caliber would not have been possible with the support of generous of our friends and sponsors. Special thanks to our hosts, Ray and Derinda Bunch, and inaugural sponsors: The Decker Law Firm; Doummar & O’Brien; Elite Motors; The Law Firm of Shawn M. Cline; Marathon Development Group; the Neskis Family; Zoby, Broccoletti & Normile, AccurateTune Plus, Priority Automotive, Montanga, Klein, Camden Law Firm; Swartz, Taliaferro, Swartz & Goodove; Wynne Ford/Volvo; Aegean Pools; Alestra Automotive; the Gibney Family and the Glenn Family.
