Hanna is a Great Inspiration for All of Us
A Glowing Letter of Recommendation for Hanna Schoenleber ’12
H
anna Schoenleber will be a twelfth grade student at
Archbishop Wood in September. I have known Hanna since
her 9th grade year at Wood. I came to know her because
she suffers from Arthritis. My knowledge of Hannah did not come
because she needed special accommodations but rather because she
would never accept special treatment.
At the beginning of her sophomore year, Hanna approached me
about an idea that she had. Hanna mentioned that she was often
in great pain but that her friends, both close and casual, did not
understand what it was like to suffer as she did and they especially
did not understand when one day she was in pain and the next day
she was fine. Often Hanna felt that her fellow students perceived a
desire for attention. Hanna’s plan was to make a presentation to our
9th grade students through an ongoing orientation program we have
called Wood 101. Her goal was not to gain sympathy for herself but
rather to raise the awareness among students of those around them
who are different because they cannot do everything that the other
students can do or that what they can do one day, they cannot do on
another day.
Hanna arranged to have representatives from the
Juvenile Arthritis Foundation come to school and along
with these representatives Hanna presented her story. The program was so successful and well received that
we asked Hanna to again present to our current
freshmen. These presentations were given over two
days to seven different groups. At the conclusion
of the year-long Wood 101 program the students
were asked to write about which presentation they
found most beneficial. Many students listed Hanna’s
presentation on Arthritis as the best. Their comments
included:
•“…because it was informative, beneficial and not
boring. The speakers were able to get their point
across without boring me and making me ignore
what they were saying.”
•“…because it was fun personal and informative.”
•“It was educational, got us involved and fun.”
•“…it was fun and I learned about something
my mom has.”
•“I learned a lot on how it affects everyone no
matter how old you are.”
•“It was amazing meeting a girl almost my
age going through all that.”
•“…because I thought it was interesting to
learn about the body and it runs in my
family.”
•“It makes us realize how we should help
those who are affected by it.”

Archbishop Wood
| Fall 2011
While these evaluations are those of 9th grade students, it is
important to note that these comments were written three months
after the presentation was made. The students remembered what
Hanna said and more importantly, they learned about how arthritis
affects other people.
In addition to working with our school community, Hanna is very
involved with the Juvenile Arthritis foundation. Last year Hanna
was the Teen Honoree for the Arthritis walk. This past school year,
Hanna organized a team of Archbishop Wood students to participate
in the annual walk to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. She has also served as the Master of Ceremonies for the National
Juvenile Arthritis Conference.
Within the school community, Hanna is also a member of our
Peer Leaders group which works with student in our school and
the local elementary school to address Drug and Alcohol concerns. Hanna is also involved in our Community Service Corps. She is an
anchor on our morning news program and has had significant roles
in our school shows and sings with our choir.
Hanna accomplishes all these things while carrying a rigorous
course of study which next year will include two Advanced
Placement classes and a Dual Enrollment class. Hanna is a
first honor student and ranks in the top half of the class. Hanna is a great inspiration to all of us. She never lets
her disability get in the way of her goals. She does not
complain, nor ask for special treatment. Most people
would have no idea of the challenges Hanna faces if
it were not for her desire to help her fellow student
accept those around them who suffer from any type
of disability.
When I review the achievements which qualify a
nominee for this award I see Hanna Schoenleber as
a perfect candidate. The most obvious qualification
is in her School/Community Leadership and
Volunteer Work but her participation in peer
leaders helps in conflict resolution, her work in the
school plays and our chorus is examples of artistic
expression which promote an understanding and
acceptance of people who suffer from a debilitating
disease. Hanna’s work with the 9th grade students
not only helped bring an understanding of those who
suffer from arthritis but also served as friendship
building.
It is with great enthusiasm and conviction
that I put the name of Hanna Schoenleber into
consideration for the Young Heroes Award.

rchbishop Wood is the first secondary school in the
country to offer the “Exploration 21” Lab, a unique,
computer-based curriculum. This program can be offered due
to a donation from Richard Fonash ’82. Rich provided the
funds to furnish “the science lab of the future” in memory of
classmate Daniel Deever ’82.
Student Athletes Give Back to the Community
Over the last several years Archbishop Wood athletes have
participated in the “Athletes Helping Athletes” program in
conjunction with the Special Olympics of Bucks County. Here is a
great story about Colin Thompson ’12 and his relationship with John
Shulby (reprinted with permission of ESPN).
T
he measure of Archbishop Wood High School’s Colin
Thompson as a football player is a big one. He’s 6-foot-4, 255
pounds and ESPNU’s No. 1 tight end in the class of 2012. But
the measure of Colin Thompson as a young man is even bigger, a
fact to which Kathy Shulby is only too happy to attest. Shulby’s son,
John, has Down syndrome. John met Colin when they were in the
eighth grade at Holicong Middle School in Doylestown. Colin was
assigned to be John’s buddy at a track meet to ensure he got to all of
his events safely.
“That was the beginning of a friendship that has blossomed,”
Kathy Shulby said. Despite Colin transferring out of Holicong and
then going on to a different high school than John Shulby, the two
remained close. “It brings tears to my eyes,” Kathy Shulby said. “It’s
been a wonderful journey for John, Colin and our family.”
Tight end Colin Thompson has modeled his game after NFL
stars Jason Witten and Jeremy Shockey. The Shulbys followed
Thompson’s football career and went to his games. They befriended
his parents. Archbishop Wood High School started a program called
Athletes Helping Athletes, and Thompson took an active role. John
Shulby became honorary captain of the Vikings football team. “John
goes on the field and participates in the coin toss with the captains,”
Kathy Shulby said. “They play golf together. It’s a friendship that we
never expected, and it’s one of the best things to ever happen to John.
It’s not just the friendship and acceptance with Colin that’s so great,
but also with his teammates. It’s truly been an unbelievable and
wonderful experience.”
Colin said he gets just as much of a boost from John as John does
him. “John is one of my best friends,” Thompson said. “He is an
inspiration to myself and our football team to be better people. He is
a great kid, and he will do great things in life. I love him. He’s a big
part of my family and our football family.”
None of this is surprising to Steve Devlin. The Archbishop
Wood coach encourages his players to be active participants in the
community. “We do a lot as a team,” Devlin said. “I want our players
to realize just how fortunate they are, and I want them all to do
some big things out there. They all need to make an impact, and you
can see the happiness they bring to other people. It’s life changing.
Each year we always take on an organization and help out. We have
done Special Olympics, leukemia. We have done camps for those
organizations. It’s been a great experience for everyone.”
Devlin expects Thompson, one of his team captains, to take
a lead role on the field and off. “Colin and John have a unique
relationship,” Devlin said. “John is such a great kid. It touches
your heart to see those two together.” Thompson grew up playing
baseball and hockey in addition to football. But he knows what he
does best, which is block, catch and run. This four-star prospect is a
versatile talent.
“I block well at the point of attack,” Thompson said. “I am also
a mismatch in the red zone. I can catch the football. I can play in
the slot, motion out of the backfield and play a little fullback. I am
a complete player and my coach does a great job of moving me
around.”
Last season Thompson caught 13 passes for 208 yards and four
touchdowns. But don’t let his stats fool you.
“We spread him around and do a lot of different things,” Devlin
said. “Colin has size and is a great leverage blocker. He has hands
and runs very good routes. We use him in our play-action game.
Colin is smart and very determined. He’s the captain of our team and
has been a leader of our team since his sophomore year. That’s just
the type of kid he is.”
Thompson has patterned his game after a couple of tight ends
who’ve made a big mark in the game -- Jeremy Shockey and Jason
Witten.
“I have always admired those two players, especially the way they
handle themselves on the field,” Thompson said. “They are tough
guys with great hands. They are tremendous blockers and strong
runners after the catch. I emulate what they do. They are great tight
ends. They were great in college and have been in the pros, too.”
Thompson has already made his college decision. He committed
to Florida, giving the Gators a prototype tight end. But there was so
much more for Thompson about picking UF.
“In the end I just realized that there was no better place for me in
the country than Florida,” Thompson said. “I visited 15 schools, and
I wanted to find the right place for me. Florida has great football, it’s
a great school and Gainesville is a great town. Florida is the complete
package with great people. The coaching staff is highly respected. I
have become friends with them.”

Viking Fund Exceeds Goal
D
id you know that tuition payments go directly to the
Archdiocese to cover the teachers’ salaries and benefits?
Archbishop Wood relies heavily on the Viking Fund to help
bridge the gap between the income from the school fees and the
expenses to operate the campus, update technology and provide
extracurricular activities.
The Viking Fund helps Wood stay on the cutting edge of 21st
century learning, while keeping true to its mission of Catholic
education. Thank you for giving to the Viking Fund – it is an
investment in our future. This past year the Viking Fund raised
over $325,000 from 442 donors — a dramatic increase in from
previous years.
The best new is that 32 individuals and businesses joined The
President’s Leadership Society, lead benefactors who, through
their generosity, demonstrate a commitment to the mission of
Archbishop Wood High School. Membership in the society is
open to all individuals, companies, and foundations that make an
annual gift of $1,000 or more. Annually members are invited to
a reception hosted by the President and the Board of Advisors.
To learn more about the President’s Leadership Society and about
The Viking Fund, contact Tim Dunn, Director of Advancement at
215-672-5050, ext. 227 or at tdunn@archwood.org.
In the 2010-11 Viking Fund (formerly the Annual Fund), which
ended June 30, 2011, the Wood community again responded most
generously with a record $375,000 in contributions! According
to Dan Wagner ’91, Viking Fund Chairman, “The word is out.
People recognize the value of Wood — the strength and vitality of
the school, its students and faculty — and they genuinely want to
be a part of this excellent tradition.”
Although this record-setting number is extraordinary,
what makes Wood unique are its leadership volunteers: the
alumni, parents, Board members and friends who give their
time and energy to promote Archbishop Wood High School
and its advancement initiatives. “You’re only as good as your
volunteers,” said Tim Dunn. “I’ve never worked with a more
dedicated and enthusiastic group of volunteers and supporters
than those at Wood. We are indeed blessed.”
Gifts to the Viking Fund help supplement the operating
expenses of Wood, touching all facets of campus life: financial
aid and scholarships, teaching resources, computer technology,
campus ministry, fine arts, extracurricular activities, and
athletics. “When we ask people to support Wood by making a gift
to the Viking Fund, we are asking them to invest in the future of
Archbishop Wood High School. An investment of this type is not
only critical to our ability to keep a Wood education excellent and
affordable — but it is also the truest measure of Wood’s value,”
said Gary Zimmaro, Wood President.

Building for the Future — Endowed
Scholarship at Archbishop Wood
A
rchbishop Wood has a long tradition of providing tuition
assistance to qualified but financially challenged students.
Since the school’s foundation in 1964 many gifts have been
made by alumni, parents and friends to fund these need-based
scholarship awards. These gifts have helped support the
education of hundreds of Wood students over the years — a
Catholic education that literally would not have been possible
without scholarship assistance.
Scholarships gifts to Wood are placed in the Viking
Educational Trust Fund. Each year the income generated
through the investment of our endowment along with annual
gifts underwrite the tuition of needy students.
Currently, the balance in the endowment is approximately
$300,000. From gifts and interest on this money, we are able
to make awards of about $15,000, only 5 % of our total financial
aid budget. The remainder needed for financial aid must come
from annual fund gifts and special events revenue. Ideally,
endowment should provide for at least 50% of scholarship
expenditures. Schools with healthy endowments can provide
substantial financial aid.
To endow a scholarship for one student for one year costs
approximately $50,000. Most existing scholarships generate
smaller awards. A scholarship can be established either through
a one-time donation or donations over a period of time. The
scholarship can be in the name of the donor or named in
memory of a loved one, teacher, classmate, friend. etc.
While unrestricted gifts to the Viking Fund are critical to
sustain current operations at the school, gifts may also be
restricted to the Viking Educational Trust Fund. We must grow
our endowment significantly to provide a strong future for
Archbishop Wood. To set up a named scholarship fund contact
Gary Zimmaro, President (215) 672-5050.

Viking Fund Makes Capital Improvements Possible at Wood
T
his past summer saw a number of improvements around
the school campus including a new second State of the
Art Computer Lab, a new Art Room, and an outdoor Fountain
in the courtyard dedicated to legendary Wood faculty member
Rich Kelly. In addition new boilers were installed replacing
the original boilers from the 1960’s and all new lighting was
installed to illuminate the building at night along York Road.
These are on top of the improvements last year to the
school which included a new music lab, new paving along
the school driveways. Your generosity and support of the
school’s “Viking Fund” have helped to make all of these
capital projects possible. Thank you for your support of
Archbishop Wood.

Pat (Whelan) Fogel ’71 Leaves a Lasting Legacy to Wood
W
hen Pat (Whelan) Fogel ’71 passed away a
year ago, she left a bequest of more than
$40,000 to Archbishop Wood High School. But
for those who knew her during her days at Wood,
the real legacy is the memories that “Whelan”
created during her high school days.
Pat is remembered as someone who was at
once shy yet funny, zany yet extremely bright. A
winner of the Latin Award in her senior year, Pat
also excelled at German, was a twirler for Wood’s
award-winning band, and worked at the long gone
Bucks County Drive-In.

Archbishop Wood
| Fall 2011
“Whatever Pat did, she threw herself into
it 1000%,” classmate Gail (Roney) Mallett
remembers. “Whether it was securing the
Mission Banner by selling cupcakes for her
homeroom every month, or being the first (along
with Kordelski) girls in the Catholic (or any
other) League to twirl fire at a football game,
Whelan would not back down.
She was a wonderful, shy, brilliant, generous
and funny person. I will never think of her
without smiling.”

Current Parents &
Parents of Alumni
We remain so very grateful to our parents who actively support our mission here at Archbishop Wood. In addition to fulfilling their tuition
obligations, many current parents volunteer in the Parents Association, booster clubs, in the athletic and fine arts departments as well as in the
Advancement Office, over 20% have donated this year which enables Wood to continued being one of the top schools in the area. We are also
grateful to the Parents of Alumni who continue to support Wood even thought their children have graduated.

Create a Lasting Memorial in
our Alumni Prayer Garden
M
emorialize a family member, favorite scripture, or
saying. Thank friends, alumni, faculty or corporate
donors who have helped Archbishop Wood maintain its
mission of providing a Catholic education to generations
of young people. Your message on a 9.5-by-6 inch stone
paver will be permanently displayed in the Alumni
Prayer Garden. The $150 covers the cost of the stone
and engraving and contributes to the garden’s ongoing
landscaping expenses. The stones will be highlighted at
the Memorial Garden Blessing to be held at the Alumni
Mass on Sunday, April 29, 2012. Each donor will be sent
an invitation to the Alumni Mass and Breakfast event.
For more information on this fundraising project,
contact Tim Dunn at the Alumni Center at 215-672-5050

Archbishop Wood Events Center/Sports Complex
Field of Dreams
Taking Shape
A
feasibility study is
now underway for an
Events Center/Sports
Complex for Archbishop Wood High School. Anyone
familiar with Archbishop Wood
knows that we have been in need of
our own athletic fields and facilities.
Since 1964, Wood has had to beg,
borrow and rent fields for our teams.
Despite this, we have still had some
of the most successful sports teams
in the area.
Over the years, many have
dreamed of a facility for Archbishop
Wood. We are hoping that with your
support and prayers that this dream
can be realized. As you can see
from the drawings, a football field,
lacrosse and soccer fields, an 8 lane
track and tennis courts are part of
the complex. These fields, along
with our baseball field positions
Wood as one of the elite schools in
the area. The combination of our
excellent academic reputation along
with first class faculties will keep
Wood competitive and vibrant in the
future.
We hope we can look forward to
your support as we undertake this
exciting project. We hope you will
dream with us and make this project
a reality.
