Catherine Szary ‘60Elms Alumnae Gives BackNearly 40 years ago, Ms. Catherine M. Szary (Cathy) graduated from Our Lady of the Elms. Even though she graduated and moved on with her life, she never forgot her alma mater. Cathy always spoke highly of Our Lady of the Elms and enjoyed being a part of the Elms family. She also consistently made annual gifts to the Elms Fund for Excellence to support the Elms ongoing mission: Our Lady of the Elms, an independent, Catholic school rooted in the Dominican tradition, educates girls and young women to listen openly, evaluate wisely, speak bravely, lead justly, and serve compassionately.

Cathy believed that “the school relies on philanthropy in order to advance academic excellence and that it was important to give back what little I could afford each time”. While nearly 75% of the Elms’ operational budget is covered by tuition, the additional 25% necessary for operational costs must be covered through generous donations. The operating budget pays for teachers’ salaries, classroom supplies, extra-curricular activities, campus maintenance, and so many other costs associated with educating an Elms girl.

Cathy liked the idea of a single-gender education because it helps to guide girls and young women to find their voice, while focusing on the many ways they learn and grow. It’s not just in the classroom. It’s the combination of the Elms community, the culture and the expectations that our school instills, that makes the education the Elms offers such a powerful and transformative experience.

Over the years, Cathy’s generosity supported Our Lady of the Elms in many ways. She gave of her treasure by supporting the Elms Fund for Excellence. She gave of her time by volunteering or participating in events on Campus like the Blessing of the Animals with her dog, Skipper.

Cathy recently passed away, yet she continues to passionately support Our Lady of the Elms efforts to educate future women leaders. Cathy made a generous planned gift, investing in the future of the Elms because she knew that students being educated at the Elms today will become the leaders of tomorrow.

Each gift made to Our Lady of the Elms through the Elms Fund for Excellence or through Planned Gifts, provides unique opportunities for our students. We hope you will consider supporting Our Lady of the Elms with a planned gift. Your participation sustains the Elms experience throughout the year – and our traditions through all the years.

For more information about supporting the Elms Fund for Excellence or to make a Planned Gift, please contact Julie Forgach, the Director of Institutional Advancement at 330.867.0751 or [email protected].

Information Technology @ the ElmsBy Dan McGee, Director of Technology

Technology in the 21st century has proven to be an essential tool in nearly every aspect of our lives. Just as the Elms meets the challenge of academic excellence in subject areas present in the school since its founding, new technologies have become mainstream in the world and the classroom. The ideas

of 21st century skills relating to technology, creativity, and research are currently being firmly embedded in the academic fabric of our school.

In terms of educational and administrative technology at the Elms, we have successfully remained ahead of other similar institutions. Our basic information technology infrastructure continues to be evaluated with the goal of exceptional education in mind. In late 2010, we were able to complete a seamless switchover of the Elms’ phone system, while adding phones to classrooms. This project will enable a cost savings to the School. Students in grades 9-12 were given Elms email accounts, and all students were provided with Elms-branded Google Docs accounts, furthering our focus on empowering and educating through technology. In looking to the future, a group of parents, students, and faculty recently came together to discuss feasibility of a One to One laptop program.

The faculty at the Elms uses technology in engaging ways. Each classroom in the Elementary School is outfitted with a SmartBoard interactive whiteboard, while almost all the High School classrooms have SmartBoards. An Elementary School teacher is blogging with her students, teaching them how to collaborate online in today’s society with peers as well as experts in the field of science and

technology. English and World Language classes in the High School use Moodle to take their class discussions online and address students’ multiple intelligences.

Technology use at our school introduces a host of needs. Examples of current school technology needs include, replacing current computer hardware for students and teachers, software upgrades, SmartTables for the preschool, and keeping faculty and staff current on technology trends and developments. We function as an educational community with the goal of giving our students the tools needed to succeed in their future careers – some of which are not yet in existence. If you are interested in helping Our Lady of the Elms with any of our Technology needs, please contact Julie Forgach, Director of Institutional Advancement at 330.867.0751 or [email protected].

The Elms Circle of Angels is a caring group of donors who wish to be contacted if a student or potential student is in need of tuition assistance. When contacted, donors may choose whether or not to support the student and at what level they are most comfortable. The generous donors who give to help a student through the Circle of Angels will earn their wings and receive a beautiful lapel pin.

Since the Elms Circle of Angels began in 2010, there are already four Angels who have donated to the fund. Through The Beck Family Foundation, Michael Beck and his daughter Kristin Clark Beck ’90, donated four years of full tuition for an incoming freshman who would not otherwise be able to attend the Elms. Both Ann Amer Brennan ‘51 and Ebony Miller Yeboah-Amankwah ’96 earned their wings by helping two incoming freshman for their four years at the Elms.

You can also help change the life of a potential Elms girl in the Elementary, Middle or High School! If you are interested in joining our Circle of Angels, please go to www.theelms.org/angels or contact Julie Forgach, Director of Institutional Advancement at 330.867.0751 or [email protected]. You will be notified when we have a student in need.
