INTRODUCING

STUART NEWS 2021 Welcome back!

As I begin my twelfth and final year at Stuart, my heart is full knowing how much our community has achieved on behalf of the girls and young boys in our care. Even a pandemic could not hinder the unstoppable spirit of our students, faculty, staff, parents, trustees and friends. I am so pleased to introduce you to our remimagined Stuart News, which has been designed in a more ecofriendly format that allows you to connect with our school. Like many of you, this past year has given us the opportunity to reflect on what we want for our students and our world, and we hope that this magazine will provide you with a chance to reconnect with Stuart and learn about the amazing things happening on our campus. And my goodness — we do have an incredible year planned! As you will read in this issue, Stuart has not let the pandemic slow us down. Last spring, the Board of Trustees approved a new Strategic Plan, Faith in Her Future, to propel Stuart into a new decade. With Sacred Heart as our cornerstone, Faith in Her Future ensures that every girl and young boy at Stuart is provided with an exceptional experience to ensure their success at Stuart and beyond. This past summer also included renovations to our Student Center, which will provide our students with a versatile, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility intentionally designed to meet the dining, socializing, teaching and conferencing needs of our students across every developmental stage. This new center will be 7,400 square feet (an increase of 2,300 from the existing dining area and kitchen) and will offer cafe-style seating, collaborative dining and classroom spaces, an amphitheater designed as a teaching kitchen, and a partitionable conference area. In keeping with our commitment to sustainability practices, the Student Center will also include energy-efficient windows, HVAC system and ionization system. This project will also include renovations to our Early Childhood classrooms in the C-Corridor to include both an academic and gross motor space to better serve our youngest students. Lastly, please stay tuned for more information on The Campaign for Stuart, a philanthropic campaign dedicated to supporting the people, programs and places that advance our mission of preparing young women for lives of exceptional leadership and service. Thanks to the early generosity of many members of our community, we are already more than 90% to goal, and I invite every member of our community to join us in supporting the next generation of UNSTOPPABLE Stuart women. With love,

Patty L. Fagin, Ph.D | Head of School

FAITH IN HER FUTURE After 18 months of extensive community-wide feedback and engagement, Stuart’s Board of Trustees is pleased to announce a new strategic plan: Faith in Her Future. As Stuart’s roadmap for the next five years, Faith in Her Future utilizes Stuart’s Sacred Heart mission as the cornerstone for our path forward: We believe our Sacred Heart Mission calls us to educate and empower girls to be a force for good in an increasingly complex and connected world. We will awaken a sense of faith, purpose, belonging and commitment to justice through deeper understanding, articulation and application of our Sacred Heart Mission, Goals and Criteria. With this foundation, Faith in Her Future outlines four pillars centered in the belief that our mission as a Sacred Heart school calls us to live the Goals and Criteria. Through academic excellence, leadership and

S TU ART NEWS 2021

service, diversity, equity and inclusion, and health, wellness and connection, Stuart has prioritized these areas as opportunities for growth and continued excellence in the future.

Academic Excellence:

ACCELERATE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Our vision for education further empowers every Stuart girl to discover her strengths, find her voice, and realize her full potential as a scholar, leader and agent of change in service of the greater good. We will evolve our teaching and learning structures and practices to be increasingly interdisciplinary, rich with experiential learning, responsive to girls evolving needs and interests, deeply rooted in our Sacred Heart values, and expanded by our international network of Sacred Heart schools.

Leadership and Service:

MODEL THE MISSION

Stuart is uniquely positioned as an all-girls Sacred Heart school to empower young women for lives of academic and professional excellence in satisfaction of their personal aspirations, and in exceptional leadership and service to our world. We will reach more girls in more ways with year-round leadership and learning opportunities for the Stuart community and beyond.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:

DEMONSTRATE OUR DEI COMMITMENT

By focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our program and community, we will ensure that global understanding and cultural competency become an integral part and celebrated outcome of a Stuart education. We will fully demonstrate our Sacred

Heart commitment by defining and operationalizing a DEI strategy and action plan that welcomes and respects persons of all faiths, and educates and empowers students to eradicate social structures, practices and systems that perpetuate racism and other injustices.

Health, Wellness and Connection:

ACTIVATE HER POWER TO THRIVE

The Stuart community is grounded in purpose, and wholly invested in the success and well-being of every Stuart girl. We will mobilize and connect our community across generations and geography to create an unprecedented network of support and opportunity that provides Stuart girls with the gift of a lifetime of wellness, sisterhood and connectedness.

STUART LAUNCHES

NOTHING STOPS A STUART GIRL. CAMPAIGN Stuart girls are unstoppable forces. When fifth-grader Lydia Benson ’28 welcomed new students to Stuart by sharing “nothing can stop a Stuart girl from achieving her goals," NOTHING STOPS A STUART GIRL. was born. The powerful statement NOTHING STOPS A STUART GIRL. has grit, shows resilience, and it speaks to the future endeavors of our students beyond the walls of Stuart. It represents how our students feel about themselves and what our families want for their daughters. It supports how alumnae from all 58 years at Stuart feel about their preparation for life and career. It has always been Stuart’s mission is to prepare young women for lives of exceptional leadership and service within the framework of the Goals and Criteria of the Schools of the Sacred Heart. Stuart prepares young women to be UNSTOPPABLE—to be fierce, smart, confident and, most importantly, to make a difference. The primary goal of the campaign is to showcase the benefit of Stuart's all-girls education by putting our students in the spotlight. Stuart girls are Renaissance women: They’re exceptionally multi-talented, compassionate global citizens and provided with a highly personalized academic experience to make courageous decisions in life. Our students are guided by mentor faculty to recognize their individual limitless potential, and they are given the platform to use their voice. Stuart girls are ready to use their powerful minds and voices to make change happen. They are enlightened with a deep sense of spiritually and strong individual moral compass. Full of confidence, energy and steadfast in their goals, they have learned to activate their natural talents and develop the skills necessary to achieve whatever they aim for out of life. They are challenged to take risks both inside and outside of the classroom, learning and thriving in an environment where girls ALWAYS take center stage. As experts in educating girls, we know how critical the formative years are for girls to know that they truly can do anything in life. By the time they graduate, Stuart girls are ready to change the world for the better. To learn more about NOTHING STOPS A STUART GIRL. and our unstoppable students, visit stuartschool.org/nssg

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION In the Fall of 2020, Stuart was blessed to welcome Monique Jones, MSW, M.Div., as our Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In her first 90 days at Stuart, Ms. Jones invigorated Stuart’s commitment to DEI through engagement of students, parents, faculty, staff, trustees and alumnae. Over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year, Ms. Jones led a series of new initiatives, including: Courageous Conversations The Stuart Parent Association, in partnership with Stuart staff, hosted a series of Courageous Conversations’ to discuss topics around diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Diversity Committee Expanding its diversity of voices, the Diversity Committee grew to include student, alumnae and parent representation. At monthly meetings, four subcommittees around recruitment and retention, curriculum, culture, and communication met to identify opportunities for growth, research best practices, and recommend actionable steps. Student Diversity Board ("SDBoard") Stuart girls played a critical role in advancing our work with diversity, equity and inclusion with the launch of the Student Diversity Board in 2020. Composed of Upper, Middle and Lower School students in fourth-grade, SDBoard members discussed and made recommendations for how we can create a more inclusive community at Stuart. Diya Paul ‘22 chaired the committee, and served as the student representative to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. Bias Incident Report For the 2021-2022 academic year, Stuart will be initating a bias incident reporting system to provide students with a place to report incidents directly to the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Stuart is deeply grateful to an anonymous alumna from the mid-1980s who has generously supported future initiatives in diversity, equity and inclusion around intersectionality. Her generous support will allow us to further advance this work and enhance the experience of the Stuart community.

THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR GIRLS'

LEADERSHIP AT STUART The National Center for Girls' Leadership at Stuart (NCGLS) works to support and empower the next generation of female leaders. Through research, professional programming and development of innovative curriculum, Stuart serves as a resource to parents, students and educators throughout the world. This past year, NCGLS was pleased to launch and reimagine a series of initiatives, including leadership endorsements in STEM, Business and Entrepreneurship, Social Justice, and Arts and the Humanities, a Labtuat’s Learning Lab Sophomore Internship, and a three-part Women in Leadership Speaker Series.

S TU ART NEWS 2021

WOMEN ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE CRISIS In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stuart virtually hosted three women leading on the front lines of the pandemic: Dr. Shelley Hearne '79, Director, Center for Public Health Advocacy at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; Rosina Wickart P '26 '29, Vice President, Supply Chain Procurement supporting Johnson & Johnson Global Pharmaceuticals; and Rebecca Greeley, Team Lead, Infection Control, Healthcare, & Environmental Epidemiology Infectious and Zoonotic Disease Program | Communicable Disease Service, New Jersey Department of Health. As professionals and women navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, they shared their wisdom and lessons learned during the pandemic.

FOUNDING HER FUTURE Students in all divisions opened the school year by hearing from three Stuart graduates for the second of the NCGLS Women in Leadership panel series of the year. Joining virtually were Sianna Elise Peal '14, founder of FÀNDÉ; Shana Jordan '09, Chief Operating Officer and founding team member of Lolli; and Michelle Gillen-Doobrajh '01, co-founder of Tildie’s Toy Box in Philadelphia, who spoke of their non-linear journeys into entrepreneurship, challenges through COVID-19 and lessons on life and leadership.

JUSTICE IS HER MISSION For Stuart’s third Women in Leadership panel, student hosts from each division joined Director of the NCGLS Bonnie Milecki to interview Dr. Ivonne Díaz-Claisse P’21, founder and president/CEO of HISPA (Hispanics Inspiring Students’ Performance and Achievement); Toni Mitchell P’27 P’35, Princeton police officer and co-founder/CEO Blm Brew Co.; and Catherine van Kampen ’84, attorney and nonprofit board member.

To learn more about these initiatives and more, please visit National Center for Girls' Leadership - Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart (stuartschool.org/ncgls). The work of the center is made possible thanks to the generous support of alumnae, parents and community members, and the Harris B. Siegel Fund for Student Leadership, established by Patricia Costante P’12 and Stephanie Champi ’12. Their generous gift was given to Stuart in gratitude for Mr. Siegel, a longtime director of college counseling.

Service AT STUART

Stuart honored its commitment to service during the COVID-19 pandemic with reimagined service opportunities to engage our students and families. As the needs in our communities increased, Stuart students, parents, faculty and staff collectively participated in a series of initiatives to support our neighbors. At the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year, Stuart hosted a virtual StuartFest/Day of Service and completed over 600 hygiene and snack bags for the homeless, which were delivered to those most in need through the Father Benedict House and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal in Atlantic City. As Stuart transitioned to the holiday season, Stuart launched a Season of Service in partnership with the Upper School Outreach Club and Stuart Parent Association. This year’s program included the Thanksgiving food collection, Coat Drive, and Christmas Sharing Program to benefit Womanspace and Better Community Housing of Trenton (formerly known as Martin House). In January, Stuart continued its over 40-year-old tradition of Loaves and Fishes, providing meals to those in need in the greater Mercer County area at Loaves and Fishes in St. Mary's Cathedral on Perry Street in Trenton. While social distancing guidelines limited those able to participate in person, the Stuart community was steadfast in its commitment to continuing this tradition. Stuart’s dining services, FLIK, prepared 400 hot meals, and the entire Stuart community contributed the necessary items and resources to provide over 600 lunches and amenity bags to recipients of Loaves and Fishes. Special thanks to Kerry Yates P’28, Jennifer Teaney P’30, Gabriella Milley P’24, Ted Magani P’19 P’22, Lisa Pisano P’25, Susan Prusan P’31, Missy Bruvik P’07, Walt Cupit, Katherine Gibson and Elena Nickerson for their assistance in delivering and serving this year.

ATHLETICS UPDATE At Stuart, we believe that athletics are critical to life-long health and wellness, as well as leadership development. While the COVID-19 pandemic presented a number of challenges, it did not deter our students or coaches from achieving excellence on the court, field or track. Over the course of the year, our students were recognized for their accomplishments, including: •

The Trentonian announced their All-Star teams in the Fall of 2020 and recognized Lily Harlan ‘23, Catherine Martin ‘21, Lia Bull-Krieg ‘21, Audrey Blandford ‘22 and Kaitlyn Magnani ‘22 making the All-Prep Field Hockey Team. Molly Lagay ‘21 was also named an Unsung Hero of the Year by the paper for this season.

•

Janiah Adams ‘21 has been nationally recognized as an agent of change by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association for her social justice leadership at Stuart and in the Princeton community.

•

Ariel Jenkins ‘21 achieved the milestone of scoring her 1,000th point in basketball. Ariel is attending Georgetown University.

•

The Stuart track team returned to competition after nearly two years that had been lost due to COVID-19 led by captain Morgan John ’21.

•

THE BUILDING OF

Community

Stuart was blessed to continue with its commitment to living Goal 4 and the building of community as a Christian value during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the Stuart Parent Association, Stuart Alumnae Board and school-wide programming, the Stuart community remained connected across the globe. In addition to virtual service offerings, the Stuart community stayed strong throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.

LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION

Stuart alums gathered virtually from across the globe for a “coast to coast” toast to the Christmas season. Alums Eva Pelczer '02, Kelly Fitzpatrick '04, Arielle Moule '96 and Domenica Marchetti '80, all experts in the food and beverage industry, shared holiday food and beverage tips for the holiday season.

In honor of the Lunar New Year, Stuart’s Chinese Parent Association hosted a virtual celebration with dumpling making, a presentation about Chinese culture, and performances featuring students and parents. Among the presentations was a video by Anita Liu ’23 followed by a real-time dumpling demonstration with Claire Wang ’26, Dr. Vanessa Yanhua Zhang P’26 and Elizabeth Lynn P’18.

LEARNING OUR HISTORY In April, Stuart alumnae, students, parents, faculty and staff had the opportunity and true honor to hear from Princeton historian Shirley Satterfield for a discussion hosted by Stuart’s Black Alum Affinity Group. Mrs. Satterfield took the Stuart community on a virtual tour of the cultural and racial history of Princeton, including its Italian immigration, and changes seen and experienced through urban renewal. She shared personal stories growing up through Princeton’s racial segregation and desegregation, and brought more awareness to the African American history of the town. The Stuart community is especially grateful to the program’s organizers, Monique Jones P ‘25 and Miss Harmon Snow ’97, as well as committee members Zoelene Hill ’00, Barbara Horne ’94, Naimah Beyah P ‘27 and Nikema Missouri P ‘13 P’23.

We were able to offer five days of inperson, virtual and hybrid learning to each and every student in our care, ensuring their personal and academic success no matter the challenges facing our world. On behalf of every girl and young boy at Stuart, thank you!

ALL DONORS Thank you to the philanthropic leaders in our community who made gifts and commitments during the 2020-2021 fiscal year that enriched the experience of Stuart students. We are especially grateful to our loyal supporters, who have contributed for five or more consecutive years.
