As Rosemont School enters its 67th year of “Meeting the Wants of the Age,” we are amidst a new phase of self-
examination as we continue to position the School as a prime
destination for Catholic, coeducational, independent education in
a very competitive Philadelphia-area market.
Last spring the Board of Trustees authorized the administration
to enter into a partnership with Cognitive Marketing, a brand
development and strategic marketing firm that specializes in
independent schools. During the spring and summer, the firm
interviewed all members of Rosemont School’s
faculty and staff; more than 100 current
families and alumni;
and many families
that for one reason
or another chose to
send their children
elsewhere. Cognitive’s
market study will help
Rosemont School to create
a brand and positioning plan
that will more effectively target
families and raise awareness of
this great school.
This partnership with
Cognitive Marketing is a result
of our 2012 Strategic Plan, where Rosemont School was charged
to “articulate clearly and boldly the benefits and blessings of a
Catholic, coeducational, independent school education in the
tradition of Cornelia Connelly,” as part of our
goal to “Amplify Our Voice.”
Concurrently, Rosemont School has
welcomed a longtime parent, Megan
McHugh P’15’16’18, as our new Director of
Admissions. Megan and her husband T.J.
have been associated with RSHC for 13 years.
In addition, Megan was Parents’ Liaison for
five years, and looks forward to “sharing my
love of this School with others.”
“We have a phenomenal community, and I
really do believe that the School nurtured our
children in an age-appropriate way from the
time they were 3 years old in
all aspects of their education,”
Megan said. “Rosemont School
really enables each child to
achieve excellence and provides
them opportunities that you
don’t find at most schools.”
The feedback that she has
received from alumni and
their parents, Megan said,
demonstrates “overwhelmingly
how pleased they are with how
their children perform in high
school, how well their children
were prepared by Rosemont
School. We provide great educational opportunities but
also morals, values, and a love of God. To get all of these
things in a loving and caring environment is what makes
Rosemont School such a special experience.” d

Tom LengeL’s message
Dear Rosemont School Parents, Alums, and Friends,In addition to the “deep and wide”
coverage of events and happenings in
our School community as reflected in
this edition of Cachet, you will note that
our feature article focuses on our robust
Service Learning program.
As a Holy Child School, we are charged
“to work for Christian principles of justice,
peace and compassion in every facet of
life” and among the criteria supporting
that goal are the following:
• Programs are provided for all
constituencies that facilitate
reflection leading to action for
peace and justice in our neighborhoods, nation, and global community.
• The School has a dynamic community service program which requires student participation. The adults in
the School community, by their involvement, model the habit of service.
• The program instills in students a life commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship
realized in the “Actions Not Words.”
For many years, Rosemont School of the Holy Child has emphasized community service, and our older alums can
easily recall “Mission Parties.” I am pleased to report that that spirit is alive and well at Rosemont School in 2015.
We continue to believe that we are educating the leaders of tomorrow’s businesses, government, church, and
society. Even at an early age, we want Rosemont School children to understand the challenges of the world they will
inherit, and more importantly, the responsibility they will have as leaders to promote justice and peace in all that
they do.
In the last few years we have added service opportunities to many of our faculty-staff in-service days; served meals
to families at the Ronald McDonald House; launched a morning of service on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day for all
members of our community; and provided more opportunities for children to reflect on the service they have done.
In all these intentional ways, we have tried to “meet the wants of the age” with respect to our obligation to serve
and take care of the less fortunate in our communities.
Thank you for supporting these endeavors, and for your overall support of Rosemont School! d
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Lengel P’12

In the heart of spring, according to the Class of 2015, it was the perfect season to give thanks for a Rosemont
School education during the Commencement Mass at St.
Thomas of Villanova Rosemont Chapel last May.
In his presentation of the Graduates’ Theme, Gratitude,
Co-President Tommy McHugh said there were many people to
thank for the Rosemont School experience.
On behalf of his classmates, Tommy said, “Sending children
to private school is a big sacrifice, and our parents have worked
hard to give us the gift of a great education. They are the
reasons we are here.”
Teachers, he said, provided “life lessons that we will carry
with us forever … advice, encouragement, and comfort we
have received from these teachers is beyond words. They ALL
believed in us.” To his fellow graduates, Tommy said, “I have
loved being your classmate. I know that we will all go on to
achieve great things.”
In her Reflection, Co-President Kayla Brown recounted the
highlights of her years at RSHC, “where teachers encourage us
to work to our fullest potential, where friendships can last a
lifetime, and where we’re prepared for the future. Rosemont has
been a second family to us.”
To her classmates, she advised, “Let’s take the lessons
learned at Rosemont and use them throughout our lives, to be
leaders in our high schools and colleges, and to be the future
leaders of our country, through Actions Not Words.”
Twenty-three students received diplomas during the Mass.
Seven students were recognized during the evening for receiving
a total of nine academic scholarships to area private schools. d

We Are enriched by GivinG to others By Elizabeth McNulty ’15
At Rosemont School, I learned how to care for others. Through the years we learned many ways to benefit the greater community, and to be thankful not only to have been given so much but also how enriched we can become by helping others.
Students at a young age are taught through service projects, such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which raises money for cancer research. Every year afterward, our grade took on a special community service project.
A memorable opportunity came in 5th grade when we packed Jared Boxes with toys for children in the hospital, customized for a specific gender and age. As I went to the store to purchase what I thought a little boy would want, I realized how hard it must be for him. This was a great way to get our whole class involved, and it gave us more responsibility for completing a community service project.
Rosemont School also promotes service projects that involve the whole community. This year we collected cans for the Patrician Society Food Cupboard and bought presents for other children at Christmas. We donated $5 for charities on a free dress day, and packed lunches and toiletries for the needy on the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
This is true Service Learning; not only can you give back, but you also develop a greater understanding about your community.
In 5th grade I became part of a wider school community service effort. I was asked by an older friend to be the RSHC
representative and initiate the CandyCare collection. The goal of this project is to collect excess Halloween candy from grade school kids in the area and distribute it to homeless shelters so that it can be given out during the Thanksgiving holiday.
I approached Mrs. Lynn Gosnell with my idea, and she offered her full support. I began broadcasting for donations on the morning announcements, and the response from students, faculty, and staff was amazing!
I felt so accomplished doing it on my own and enjoyed making a difference. Little kids would bring in ziplock bags with three or four treats, and parents would hand over shopping bags of extra candy. Boxes and boxes of treats surrounded Mrs. Kit Tosti’s Academic Center desk. I continued the CandyCare project through 8th grade, and the donations grew larger each year. Students told me they enjoyed going house to house to get candy for others who needed it more than they did.
That is why I think this service project is special, and it will be with me always.

It is a function of the Service Learning program at Rosemont
School, which couples knowledge about a community need with
initiatives to address it. Community service also is a core principle
of the Holy Child Network of Schools, to “work for Christian
principles of justice, peace and compassion in every facet of life.”
(Goal 4)
An example: on April 26, about 40 students, faculty, parents,
and alums joined the Sweet Carolyn team for the Multiple Sclerosis
Walk in Devon, PA in honor of Carolyn Weber P’12’16. The
Rosemont School community also made contributions to the team.
“My wife Carolyn has been battling the unforgiving and
devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis for almost 20 years,”
said Brad Weber P’12’16. “When we joined the RSHC community
almost 15 years ago, suddenly our support network grew
exponentially. We now have what seems like an army fighting
shoulder to shoulder with us against MS.”
The walk typifies the School’s spontaneous approach to service
above self, in addition to a school calendar that is flush with
service projects.
“Service coordinators at other schools are surprised by how
much we do here,” said Deb
Borden, Associate Head of
School and Director of the
Middle School. “It’s not a
‘look at me’ program, it’s
what we do. It’s subtle, and
it’s a thread that weaves
through everything. At the
Sweet Carolyn walk, tons
of Rosemont School alums,
faculty, kids, and parents
showed up just because a
community member was in
need.”
“Like most other aspects
of the School curriculum,
our Service Learning Program
enriches our children and is
an example of how we make our overall program relevant in the
21st century,” Head
of School Tom Lengel
P’12 said.
“Over the years
we’ve added projects
like Empty Bowls and
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. Morning of Service,
where families come
together to help less-
privileged families.
The response that we
have received from our
families illustrates how
valuable they consider
these projects to be.”
Invariably, these
projects generally
come to fruition well
after the School day has ended. Families eagerly volunteered to
travel to Philadelphia and Delaware on weekends to prepare meals
for families of desperately ill children at regional Ronald McDonald
Houses. Families donated days off for the Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Morning of Service, and evenings for Empty Bowls and

Rosemont School volunteers were part of the Sweet Carolyn Team for RSHC parent Carolyn Weber P’12’16 during the MS Walk in Devon last April. “It was the largest team at the event over two years running. What a testimonial for the importance of the event and the love from our RSHC community,” said Brad Weber P’12’16.

“It is so wonderful to see everyone interact,” said Lynn Gosnell
P’00’02’05’06, RSHC’s Community Service Coordinator, recalling
the evening at The Village. “Our parents have to tear their children
away from their community tables when they pick up at the end of
the evening. It is beautiful to watch!”
The students, even as young as Early Childhood, are eager to
cross generational boundaries, such as visiting the Sisters at New
Sharon for Masses, parties, and meals.
“It’s mutually beneficial experience,” said Mrs. Borden. “Most
things, like drives, are parent-driven, but we look for student-
directed service, which I think is always the way to go. That way
they feel empowered and can make a difference.”
Even children in the Three Years program, Mrs. Borden said,
“certainly understand kindness. They know when people are in
need of help. Kids of all ages do that naturally.”
“Service Learning is a thread of our leadership program, a very
important thread. It becomes part of who you are. Giving back is a
tangible thing we want to teach our children.” d

4th GrAders “dive” into cushions to help needy
You can pardon Rosemont School’s 4th graders for walking with their heads down around campus. They merely are trying to help people. For five years, 4th graders aided the less fortunate by collecting “found” change for a Diving Jar. The students scarfed up precious metals from cushions, auto mats, sidewalks, playgrounds, even dryers, recalled retired teacher Ann James. She “coined” the concept “Diving Into Cushions,” organized to raise money for a sister school, St. Rose of Lima in Philadelphia. “Children used to get so excited just to find a penny or nickel on the playground,” Mrs. James said with a laugh. “More importantly, the children took ownership of the projects because they voted on which organizations to support, which made it special to them.” These found funds have purchased a wall map and Time
for Kids subscriptions for St. Rose of Lima, as well as donations for the Peace Corps. This year the children decided on three new projects – and two of them gained wide attention. The children raised $290.82 for the St. Joseph’s University Kinney Center for Autistic Children, which was co-founded by the grandparents of 4th grader Max Barton. After the donation, three students
attended a St. Joseph’s University basketball game, where they were called onto the court during a break to present their donation and be recognized. “Of course the whole place erupted in applause,” said Mrs. James. “The children went off the court with their arms in the air.” In addition, the students’ $162.21 donation to the Make A Wish Foundation was cited on Comcast Sports Net. A chosen young boy attended a Flyers’ practice, where he received hockey gear and tickets to a game. “The network said this was made possible by kids at Rosemont School of the Holy Child,” Mrs. James recalled. The children also donated more than $109 to Project Hope, an international health care organization. Max Barton said he enjoys coin hunting while returning to School from Masses at Rosemont College: “It really is fun to collect coins so that we can help the less-fortunate people. It makes me feel good to help children in a special way.” Classmate Tess Cosgrave – who said she found $5 just by kicking mulch - agreed: “It makes me feel happy to know I am helping others with their lives.” Mariel O’Leary donated 20 quarters that she found scattered on the grass after a community baseball game.
“You can’t have a better feeling than helping someone,” she said. d

It seems this school has always been part of my being. I came here in 1st grade, and I remember how Head of School
Mother Mary Elizabeth kissed each child on the cheek the first day
of school at the Great Hall entrance. In our room I was greeted by
Mother Mary Constance, whom I absolutely loved. The impression
she made lasted a lifetime, and it was because of her that I wanted
to teach; my dream was to be the inspiration she was and to treat
people the way she did – and to teach here.
When I graduated from Immaculata College in 1967, I was asked
by Head of School Sr. Helena Mayer if I wanted to teach at Rosemont
School and I said,
“absolutely yes.” My
dream had come
true!
School is so
di f ferent now,
largely because of
how we incorporate
technology in our
curriculum; it has
enhanced what we
do and has given our
children a broader
view of the world.
Yet, so many things
remain the same.
The most important
thing to me is that all
children are treated
with respect and leave with a lot of good memories.
Cornelia Connelly said, “Confidence begets confidence.” We
want children to become confident and to do that, we have to be
confident of them.
I have taught 2nd grade for all but two years, and I have
especially enjoyed teaching children the sacraments. It is so
meaningful to help children to develop their faith and to hear the
children express that faith.
This year each child wrote a memory of something they learned
in religion class. All of them are so precious, but here are a few:
“I learned to get to Heaven, you need to walk humbly, love
tenderly, and do justice.”
“I learned to stay on the path to Heaven and if I go the wrong
way, turn back.”
I certainly feel at this point in their little lives that they got
something out of this. I pray it stays with them.
(Husband) Denny and I are so happy that we were able to send
four children here and to see them experience the things that I
experienced. I am so thankful that I get to experience them still. d
FAMILY PROFILE
It’s a typical late-day mealtime for the D’Elias, snacking around the island in their Newtown Square kitchen. The
D’Elias rarely sit still, it seems, even for dinner, with activities
within and without Rosemont School frequenting the family
calendar.
The D’Elias - including parents Steve and Chrissy, sons Stephen
’13, Joey ’14, and Tristan ’17, and daughter Thalia ’18 - have been
a Rosemont School family since 2005, when Stephen entered 1st
grade. They were encouraged to visit by a neighbor, Maria Latran
P’08’10’12, said Steve, and the family immediately felt a connection.
Steve and Chrissy liked the size of the school, the small classes,
and the Catholic affiliation. Both of them had graduated from
Archdiocesan schools in Philadelphia.
“We think it’s important being in a school that has a religious
background.” said Steve. “Rosemont School also has its own chapel,
and that’s a good thing to have.”
“It felt like a family-oriented school, and a very safe
environment,” said Chrissy, “with children that were very well-
taken care of. The children always seem happy to see the teachers,
and that shows this is a special place.”
Chrissy was involved for many years in the Parents’ Auxiliary,
serving as president in 2012-2013 and chairing the Spring Auction
in 2011. She also creates several photo galleries each year for
Rosemont School, including the Commencement video.
The D’Elias are a family that clearly love sports. Fall and winter
pursuits outside of Rosemont School include competitive ice
hockey, with all four children playing in leagues that often take
them through the friendly skies. In the spring, the focus turns to
roller hockey. Tristan (football, basketball) and Thalia (field hockey,
basketball) also fit Rosemont School sports into their schedules.
Stephen appreciated the value of his education when he moved
on to Malvern Preparatory School after graduation.
“The first year I felt I was over-prepared compared with other
students,” he said. “All of the teachers prepared us well.”
Joey, now a sophomore at Malvern Prep, says that he enjoyed
the close-knit classes and relationships with his peers, and claimed
“you never lose touch with them.”
“The other day I was on the phone and I was asked, ‘who are
you texting now?’ I said it was someone from Rosemont,” he
added with a laugh.
The Rosemont School model of Young Falcons to 8th grade
is particularly helpful for the children’s advancement, Steve said.
“If it were Kindergarten through 12, you just would be seeing
the same kids for all those years,” he said. “Transferring into
high school helps the kids get the experience of transitioning into
college.”
“And the 8th grade graduation is something Rosemont School
does so well. It really makes for a special feeling for the kids and
their parents.” d
“ The students always seem happy to see the teachers, and that shows this is a special place.”Chrissy D’Elia

Talk to John R. McConnell ’66 about his second career, and be
prepared to do a lot of listening.
His passion is both genuine and
unchecked.
John retired recently as partner
at Deloitte Consulting after 27 years,
and decided it was time to give
back to disadvantaged children in
Philadelphia.
“I’m a native Philadelphian and I
love this community, but we have a
crisis in education that is destroying
the city,” John said.
“I received an excellent education
from an excellent school at Rosemont
School of the Holy Child. I didn’t do
anything to deserve or earn the great
education that I received at Rosemont School, St. Joseph’s Prep,
and Georgetown. I felt like I hit the lottery three times. It was
given to me by the accident of my birth. It enabled a purposeful
and happy life.”
So wouldn’t it be interesting, post-Deloitte, to create a similar
education model to help transform people from a life of poverty
to a life of dignity?
Thus was born Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School in North
Philadelphia in 2012.
The school is exclusively for low-income children. Applicants
are extensively interviewed and are required to take an academic
test. They also understand that the reward of a first-class
education requires a major commitment.
The academic day begins at 7:55 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.,
from the second Monday in August through the last Friday in June.
Cristo Rey’s curriculum combines formidable academics with
work internships in businesses where the students are mentored
by college-educated adults. The work program accelerates the
students’ development, and the wages they earn help pay for the
cost of their education.
By any measure, Cristo Rey is a major success. This year’s
enrollment is a building-busting 450 students. Cristo Rey looks
forward to its first
graduation in June
2016, with a class
of 95 - all of them
expected to attend college.
“When we opened the school, part of the objective was to
expose these good kids to a bigger world,” John said. “Businesses,
too, have the opportunity to work with lower income people that
constitute one-third of the population of Philadelphia. Cristo Rey
opens the real world to all of us!”
“It’s such a wonderful feeling at the end of a day. I know kids
who came here three years ago thinking they weren’t going to
amount to anything. Now they come back from working at a law
firm – certain that they will be a lawyer!”
John said that the Rosemont School motto of “Actions Not
Words” is a guiding principle.
“A lot of people can talk about this problem in the city, but my
job is to corral other like-minded people to make this happen,” he
said. “These kids might not have started at the same place as I did
in life, but they will finish at the same place.” d
ST. DAVIDS, PA
“ I received an excellent education from an excellent school at Rosemont School of the Holy Child. That is what I wanted for the children at Cristo Rey.”

Anne Kaier ’59 has alove of language. It has
been the foundation of her
extended education, from
Rosemont School of the Holy
Child, to Oxford, England, to
Harvard University, where
she gained her doctorate. It
was the basis of her career
as a corporate copywriter
for Shared Medical Systems
and is now to her second
career as an award-winning
author and professor of
literature and creative writing
at Rosemont College and
Arcadia University.
Where she once
wrote for her livelihood,
Anne Kaier now creates
for her soul.
Recently, she published a brief memoir, Home with Henry,
about her trials and tribulations with a skittish cat that she
rescued from a highway. The tidy 102-page book (check out Anne’s
introduction at http://www.annekaier.com/content/home-henry-
memoir) earned glowing praise from John Grogan, author of the
New York Times bestseller, Marley & Me: “Pet lovers will lap up
every word.”
For the Philadelphia Stories website, the reviewer, Jeanne,
said, “It’s not maudlin, it’s not strident, and it’s not a cry in the
wilderness. It’s about relationships, trust, and being comfortable
in your own skin. She writes cleanly and well.”
“Writing comes naturally to me,” said Anne during an interview
last spring. “We were encouraged by the Sisters at Rosemont School
to write reasonably sophisticated sentences and diagram them.
Rosemont School was very, very good to me. I was surrounded by
loving people, and it was a place that I felt accepted and respected.”
Anne still speaks warmly of her Rosemont School classmates,
such as Kris Flick Strid ’59 P’83’86’88’89 GP’15’17’21’21’22’23,
Judy Wankmiller Cassidy ’59 P’85’86’90’93, and Helen Meeks
Horstmann ’59. Trust and companionship were vital to young
Anne – as they were for Henry the stray. She was born with a rare
skin condition that she discussed candidly in her essay, “River
Creature.”
“People with this condition might have been scorned and had
difficult childhoods,” said Anne. “I didn’t experience that at all,
and that has much to do with the ethos of Rosemont School.
Teachers were protective of children who were vulnerable in many
different ways.”
Outside of teaching and writing, Anne also is a supporter
of Philadelphia poetry organizations and frequently performs
readings of her work.
“For my readers,” Anne said, “I hope they feel that they are not
alone, that other people have had experiences similar to theirs. For
my students, I hope that they will learn to think for themselves.” d
