A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends and Supporters of Loretto Academy,

As I look back on the 2011-2012 academic year, there is so much for which I am grateful. Your generosity and sharing of your time, your talent and treasure are among our blessings. In particular the young people, who are the reason for Loretto’s existence, are a source of joy and pleasure. There are days that I think I may take for granted all our gifts. I am grateful for:

• The 650 students who study, play & pray here. • The gift of the sacraments we are able to celebrate with the 31 students who were given the gift of Reconciliation and Communion. • The gift of the energetic youngsters who participated in our athletic programs. • Our first robotics team of 4th and 5th graders, who did a wonderful job of competing at UTEP in their competition. Ours was the youngest team in competition- Go Angels!! • The celebration of the Sisters of Loretto’s 200th anniversary was inspiring and life giving as we enter this 21st century. • Loretto’s choir director led in the Diocesan Choir at the City’s Tree Lighting Ceremony and parade.

I have immense pride by the activity, academic accomplishments, and creativity that our students exemplify every day. When I hear of our students initiating community service projects on their own, I know that our mission to educate the whole child is being carried out. We continue to receive updates about our alumnae continuing to serve God and each other. Hopefully, the following pages will give you a glimpse of our days here. What you will read in this report which is a reflection of your generosity and the dedication of our faculty and staff, and our attempt at fiscal responsibility.

These days I find myself reflecting on Margaret Wheatley’s quote, “After all is said and done, we have the gift of each other. We have each other’s curiosity, wisdom and courage.” These gifts and more make me grateful for Loretto - a wonderful place for our children.

My prayers continue to be; that we trust in God and serve with the gifts we have been given.

With a heart filled with gratitude. I remain,

Sr. Mary E. (Buffy) Boesen, SLPresident

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRPERSON

Dear Loretto Family and Friends,

More than fifty years ago my parents, believing in the lasting value of a Catholic School Education,

sent their daughters to parochial school. We took all of the standard academic subjects of that time,

but were also taught personal discipline, good manners, respect for people and their property and

faith in God. Those core tenets have served me well throughout my life.

Now, years later I find myself blessed to be at the helm of the Board of Trustees of Loretto

Academy and a front-seat witness that those core values of Faith, Justice, Respect and Service to

others are still the firm foundation of the education every Loretto student receives.

The challenges of educating 21st century students include readying them for competing in a global

economy that requires critical thinking, problem solving, excellent communication and fluency in

technology. A Loretto Academy education provides all this but also ensures that the student knows

the value of service to others, the importance of respect for all living things and that strong faith is

at the center of all successes.

As you review the impressive graduation and scholarship statistics within the annual report, know

that every level of education at Loretto – from Pre-K to high school graduation, is supported by

dedicated and inspiring teachers, counselors and administrators whose sole purpose is to awaken

each student’s own expectations.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, many of whom are graduates or spouses or parents of Loretto

Academy students, thank you for your continued confidence in Loretto’s work. Our ongoing needs

are many and we could not accomplish our mission of excellence without the generosity of you, our

extended Loretto family.

God Bless You,

Patty Tiscareño, Chair

Board of Trustees 2012-2013

* New to the Board in 2012-2013 School year


eevery year, each class and service student organization chooses a service

project. Teachers and students coordinate with the non-profit in need, and

for that year, the class assists the non-profit with their areas of need. at the

end of the year, students write a reflection paper on what they learned, and

how they will incorporate the value of community in their everyday lives.

In high school, every student is responsible for committing 20 hours of their

free time to serving others. loretto also has ten students organizations

committed to serving the community on both sides of the border. every

spring, the High school organizes a week of giving back called s.H.o.U.T.

Week, also known as students Helping out Week. During this week the

student Council organizes a school wide drive to collect items needed by

local non-profits. below is a list of some of the projects that the students

coordinated this year to serve the community. Due to it being the sisters of

loretto 200 Year anniversary, many of the service learning projects were

geared toward the sisters of loretto Mission Projects.

SISTERS OF LORETTO JUBILEE CELEBRATION

The El Paso Times were generous enough to print an article every Monday, about a different Sister of Loretto and the impact that she made in the community. Eva Antone Ross ’65 and Irma Portillo ’55 researched and wrote the articles that were featured in the El Paso Times. Today, they are compiling the articles into an e-book, which will be available on www.loretto.org in the summer.

Eva also coordinated volunteers and resources to display Sisters of Loretto artifacts and historical boards in an exhibit dedicated to the Sisters of Loretto on the Borderplex. The exhibit was open for two weeks, and many alumnae came to see the exhibit and share stories about their favorite sisters of Loretto.

In efforts to record the oral history of the Sisters of Loretto, Eva Antone Ross ‘65, contacted alumna Dr. Kristine Navarro-McElhaney ‘84, from UTEP’s Oral History Department; together they coordinated interviews that are available for the public to hear about the history of the Sisters of Loretto. Since the Sisters were celebrating such an important benchmark, the two of them along with Analisa Cordova ’03, submitted a proposal to StoryCorps so that when they traveled through El Paso, Loretto would be the location they chose to conduct the oral histories. From Loretto, we were able to share stories of Mother Praxedes, Sr. Pat Joyce ‘60, and many memorable stories from alumnae that will now be archived in the US Library of Congress.

SISTERSOFLORETTOCELEBRATE200YEARS2012 was all about the Sisters of Loretto Jubilee celebration. The Sisters of Loretto were recognized at the City, County, State, and Federal level in January.

Louis Lambert celebrated the mass. the liturgical dancers from orchesis performed and filled us with their grace. the Loretto choir lead by Lynne plote and michael hernandez set the tone of our blessed mass. after the mass, everyone rushed inside to eat brunch and hear the stories of the sisters of Loretto. at the event, Lupe Casillas Lowenberg presented her digital art piece of art dedicated to the sister of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross.

the committee that put this lovely event together was Luz Diaz, monica moreno ‘77, sr. helen santamaria ’61, alama oaxaca ’71, and Laura Baylon ‘72. We thank them for their time and dedication. this event raised just over $5,000 which we were able to give to the sisters of Loretto on the Border that dedicate their lives to helping others and education.

it was a wonderful year, and we hope that everyone enjoyed all of the celebrations.

FINE ARTS

THEATREARTSTheatre at Loretto Academy has always been an important part of the school’s curriculum and culture. Musical Theatre is now being offered as a course. All Loretto students who study, and perform with the Loretto theatre program, will be ready for any BFA and MFA theatre program at any University! The International Thespians Honor Society chapter at Loretto is currently 50 students strong and growing! The Fall production was a dramatic interpretation of The House of Bernarda Alba, and the Spring Musical was Flashdance. Every year, they are adding new productions for our general public to see the exuberant talent our students have.

ARTMrs. Coral Jensen ’76, the middle/high school art teacher, leads our Art Honor Society, AP, and art classes. Last year the girls displayed their talents at the International Extravaganza. The girls designed and modeled dresses made out of recycled materials. They also sold art rendering from the mid-evil era at the Renascence Fair.

MUSICALARTSOur middle school will be eligible to participate in 2012/2013 TMEA Middle School District and Region Competition. This is a great opportunity for our girls to experience choral singing competition with the other public schools in El Paso.

Another goal for the Loretto Middle School, is to enter some of the local district solo/ensemble and choral competitions with approval of the fine arts directors. These productive steps will encourage our middle school to strive for extreme excellence and help improve classroom academic/test scores.

Our elementary arts program really shined bright this year. Our students celebrated Dia de Los Muertos through art altars and songs that they learned in Spanish. Every Christmas, the students perform a lovely array of song and dance taught by their music instructor Lynn Plote. In the Spring, Reyna Hernandez, our Art Teacher organizes an Art Auction and Lynn coordinates the performances for the Spring Show.

DANCELoretto has a modern, lyrical, and classical dance club, Orchesis, which is directed by Ceci Franco Cortez ‘85. Ceci also instructs the dance class elective in the Francis Dance Studio.

TuiTionassisTanCefor the 2011-2012 school year we raised $512,886 in financial assistance and gave out aid to 72 students. With exception to the Miles and Challenge foundation, the money we receive from donors if not specified for a specific student, and is spread out among those students that apply for aid and qualify during the time of registration. There are some circumstances, where we need to take from our general fund to help families in emergency.

YOUR INVESTMENT IN LORETTO ACADEMY

THECHALLENGEFOUNDATIONSCHOLARSHIPLoretto Academy is an active partner with the Challenge Foundation Program that provides realistic pathways out of long standing environments of poverty and need.

The Challenge Foundation, developed by Don McFall of Denver, CO, was established to create a unique program to provide at-risk young women a legitimate opportunity to escape their impoverished environments. The Challenge Foundation approach is to educate the whole child, not only academically, but to provide experiences that reveal a world of opportunity. Beginning in the 6th grade, the Challenge Foundation program provides for rigorous academics and personal growth opportunities for disadvantaged students to empower them to attend and graduate from college and to make a positive impact in their own communities.

Loretto Academy selects six students every year to participate in the full program and supportive activities. These bright students are provided 100% tuition assistance, school uniforms, personal computers, tutoring, mentoring, and other supportive care provided through the program. The academic achievements and personal growth of the Loretto Challenge students is remarkable, and makes this one of the most successful programs on our campus. Our first student will graduate in 2013. Loretto intends to follow and support her through college. Loretto’s commitment to the Challenge Foundation Program is to match their gift of raising funds for the scholarship program, so that every Challenge student’s tuition is paid for.

Process of the ProgramThere are two part-time directors, Connie Perez and Jo Soto ‘71, that oversee the success of our students, communicate with parents and mentors, to insure the success of the program.

The core components of this opportunity are as follows:

• Long Term Commitment – We invite students to interview with us during their fifth-grade year. Once selected, Loretto makes a long term commitment to educate them through their 12th grade graduation. The philosophy behind starting them at 6th grade is to help mold their self-esteem and values, as they prepare to enter their teenage years.

• Summer Program – The girls attend a cultural and academic enrichment summer program that helps them build their knowledge base, develop study-skills, build confidence needed for leadership, and exposure to positive social experiences and academic environments. This is offered for the students entering the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.

• Tutoring – Students are provided one-on-one tutoring to support academic success, and a safe environment that is rarely available to economically disadvantaged children.

• Mentoring – Each student is provided a mentor for the full seven years, and beyond college. These mentors are volunteers who serve as role-models, provide personal support to the student and their family to encourage academic success, and help in the student’s personal development.

The faculty/staff and volunteers of Loretto Academy fully understand and embrace this program, and understand the concept that human success requires the blending of the science of education with heavy doses of Catholic compassion, caring, and service to all of God’s creation. This last summer two girls volunteered in Costa Rica, and this next year two other girls will be volunteering in Peru. These service learning trips are funded by the Challenge Foundation program.

This information is not intended as financial or tax advice. Please consult with your financial or tax advisor to determine specific tax implications and the right strategy for you.

GiVinGToloreTToaCaDeMY

Gifts of Cashthe most direct and easiest way to provide immediate

support to Loretto is to make a gift by cash, credit card,

or check. spreading out the payment terms of your

investment, with the flexible option of making annual,

semiannual, quarterly, or monthly payments. Gifts are

tax deductible for federal income tax purposes to the

extent allowed by law.

Credit Card Paymentsthis is a flexible, secure, and convenient method of

payment that lends itself to a single gift or a series

of periodic gifts. We also have a square device that

allows us to accept credit card gifts on the go and at

events. you can also call our office and we will be able

to accept your gift over the phone.

online Payments you may make a gift using a credit

card or a paypal account at our secure

website www.loretto.org.

ChecksChecks should be made payable to

“Loretto academy.”

ask your company to match your giftmany companies offer matching gift programs that allow

their employees to double or even triple their gifts. Current

and retired employees, or sometimes even their spouses,

may be eligible for matching gifts programs. please visit

your company’s human resources department and ask

for a matching gift form to include with your charitable

contribution to Loretto.

Gifts of securitiesstocks, mutual funds, bonds and other securities

given to Loretto academy may provide a

considerable savings in capital gains taxes for

the donor. please notify Loretto’s advancement

office if you are making a securities gift so we may

appropriately recognize your gift as well as place it

in a designated fund.

Gifts of Real estateGifts of real estate provide the same advantages as

gifts of securities. By deeding real property directly

to Loretto academy, the donor provides a meaningful

impact on the school mission, benefits from significant

tax savings, and does not suffer any decrease in regular

cash flow.

Gifts In Kind and Talent any trade of services or goods can be accepted

and given accredited fair market value.

Planned Gifts and long Term Investments planned gifts, including bequests, trust arrangements, life income gifts, and gifts of life insurance are an excellent

way to make a lifelong testimony to an institution that has profoundly impacted your life. these types of charitable

contributions are important to the longevity of the institution and provide support for endowments, scholarships and

special projects.

endowment scholarships Classes, friends, families, individuals can all have an

opportunity to start an endowed scholarship or fund.

bequests and Testamentary TrustsGiving through an estate gift provides the school with a

gift of a lifetime. Gifts can be made by adding a codicil

to an existing will or by writing a new will. this method

of giving is fairly simple and may reduce the federal

estate tax liability for your heirs. please consider leaving

a legacy at Loretto academy!

Charitable Gift annuitiesCharitable gift annuities (CGa, a life income gift,

are win-win investment options for donors. through

a CGa, a donor receives an immediate charitable

income tax deduction as well as an annuity

payment over the remainder of the donor’s life.

beneficiary under your policy.
