Around IHA

OnMarch 9, 2020, artists in Honors Studio from the Class of 2020 began working on a mural for the IHA gymnasium as their final project. They were to paint two words in IHA’s Alma Mater on the gym balcony walls: “Let us go forward with COURAGE to do…” and “Alma mater, O lead us to VICTORY sublime, to victory sublime.” In September, National Art Honor Society students picked up their brushes to finish what their sisters started prior to quarantine.

This year, sisters celebrated virtually throughout the week with e-cards, e-gift cards, and Zoom sessions. Some were able to meet up safely to exchange gifts! BiancaD’Costa’21, National Honor Society (NHS) president, and Elizabeth Spizzo’21, NHS vice president, put together the NHS bulletin board in September.

GeriTabbachino’21 and Emma Viggiano’21 lead their Rookie Camp group in an outside activity. The generosity of IHA never ceases to amaze! Our IHA family donated three hundred seventy gifts through our Christmas Drive to the community members of Sacred Heart School, Jersey City; Youth Consultation Services; and Strengthen Our Sisters Shelter, Wanaque. Similar to many things this year, our collection and deliveries looked a little different. Thank you to Mrs. Sarah Shutrop, director of formation, for leading the charge, and to Mrs. Alice Rogers, assistant principal of students; Ms. Gerri Boland, director of guidance; Mr. Jim Foote P’17, pictured above; and Lauren Foote’17 for all of their help at the contactless drive-up drop-off at IHA.

Megan Bizub’21, Ellie DePhillips’21, Molly Lowell’21, Isabella Garzon’21, and Kaylee McKay’21 were part of a big group of seniors who dressed up as Mr. Clean for 2020 Halloween at IHA.
