What do we have in common?
Cultivating an Environment of Acceptance at NDA and Beyond
1
Message from the President
“ It all comes down to how we turn
strangers into friends.”
“Are service hours required at NDA?” That’s a question often asked by prospective students or
their parents. When I reply “no,” there’s usually a surprised look – until I explain my response.
The NDA community is involved in many service projects, but not for the reason of fulfilling a requirement. Being
of service to one another is being in relationship with one another. It is participating in the building up of the Kingdom
of God. It is the living out of our baptismal profession of faith.
It is also a response to the call of Julie Billiart, founder of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. She once said,
“Our charity must not be limited by the love we have for one another. It must make our hearts as wide as the world.”
One of our tasks as educators here at NDA is to guide our young women to open their eyes, ears, minds, and hearts
to the world community. It is not only to provide meals at Father Bill’s Place, but to examine the causes of poverty
and homelessness and how we contribute to the problem. It is to help our students see these men and women as real
people with hopes and dreams. Perhaps they made poor choices in the past. Perhaps circumstances went horribly wrong
for them. What our students learn intellectually must also take root in their hearts so that they grow in compassion
as well as wisdom.
The Sisters of Notre Dame were founded on the friendship of two women, Julie Billiart and Francoise Blin de
Bourdon. Together, they used their personal gifts and talents to respond to the needs of the poor in France and
Belgium during the upheaval of the French Revolution. Friendship is a core value at NDA as well. So often our
alumnae speak about the friendships that started during their NDA days and are still important to them today. But
it doesn’t end with these relationships. Our friendships need to strengthen us for the work we undertake in building
other communities. We also need to let these values influence how we look at our local communities, our church
communities, and our world.
We like to share stories in vita! that tell of our graduates making a difference in their community. Some have traveled
all over the world and others are still in their hometowns. It doesn’t really matter. It all comes down to how we turn
strangers into friends.

NDA Achieves Re-Accreditation
Notre Dame Academy was recently re-accredited by the largest accrediting body for public and private schools in New England and the oldest regional accrediting association in the nation, the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). “Achieving NEASC accreditation demonstrates NDA’s commitment to rigorous academics, a vibrant learning community, and strong mission,” said President Barbara A. Barry, SNDdeN ’69. “While we fully expected to receive this news,
this is a major accomplishment for our community.”
Re-accreditation is the result of more than a year’s worth of effort by committees of faculty, staff, and
administrators. They researched and wrote a self-study document and, with the involvement of many parents, alumnae, and students,
hosted a team of NEASC officials to complete the assessment.
In a letter to the Academy, the NEASC Commission on Independent Schools commended NDA on four specific strengths: “for the
dedication and professionalism of the faculty, the strong and clear sense of mission understood by all, the spirit of collaboration that
permeates the school, and the Campus Ministry program and community outreach … in tradition with its founders’ vision and legacy.”

Boston. Students were not the only ones to contribute to this worthy
cause; mothers, sisters, and friends showed up at NDA to board the
buses bright and early and represent Team NDA Hingham. The walkers
raised more than $4,000!

un bon voyage!
French students had the opportunity to participate in a French immersion day field trip to Boston. Students visited the French Library
and Cultural Center in Boston. The group then visited a French
bistro for lunch and dined on croque-monsieurs, onion soup, vegetable quiche, and even escargots! Students were excited to discover
that French culture can be found nearby without traveling to Paris!

NDA’s Corporation named four new board members:
Dianne Reilly P’98 ’00 ’09, Mark Baker P’10, Sister Anne
Malone, SNDdeN ’67, and Steven Habeeb.
This October, students were asked “What is community to you?”
They responded by writing on a green paper leaf and placed it on the
tree outside the Library. Students were then asked to do one thing
over the month to make NDA a stronger community. The tree turned
red, yellow, and orange as students shared how they helped a friend,
volunteered their time, or were kind to a classmate in need.
During the month of November, students were invited to “celebrate
abundance” as the sisters in the book so often do. Note cards and envelopes were placed in the Saint Julie Dining Hall and students wrote
more than 900 letters of appreciation to their classmates, friends,
and teachers.
college search begins for seniors
NDA hosted two college fairs for seniors this fall, welcoming representatives from more than 150 colleges and
universities from around the country. Admission
representatives from a number of schools visited campus
throughout the fall to conduct interviews with interested
seniors. They included: Providence College, Fairfield
University, Quinnipiac University, Saint Anselm College,
Sacred Heart, and Salve Regina.

heritage scholarship raffle
Each year, Notre Dame Academy students, faculty, and staff set out to
raise $75,000 to support the Heritage
Scholarship program. The Heritage
Scholarship was created in 2002 to provide tuition to an incoming freshman who
has demonstrated academic merit and strong financial
need, as well as the potential to be an active student
leader at NDA. “The Heritage Scholarship program is one
way to ensure that we are welcoming the best and brightest young women regardless of financial circumstance”
explains President Barbara A. Barry, SNDdeN ’69.
The tree near the Library turned red,
yellow, and orange as students shared
how they helped build community.
Proceeds generated by the Heritage Scholarship Raffle go
directly to funding these four-year scholarships. As a way
to build enthusiasm for selling tickets, students made
morning announcements and created fun incentive prizes
for top-sellers.

NDA
inclusive
Acceptance is at the Core
by meghan rowley little ’92
..............................................................................................................................
Isn’t it ironic?
The unique qualities embraced by adults are often the characteristics those same adults shunned as kids. What were they afraid of? Stars like Lady Gaga aren’t
scared. She grabs people’s attention with her elaborate garb and her catchy lyrics, but her real
message – it’s OK to be different – is not lost on today’s youth. Lyrics from her hit, “Born
This Way,” sums up the lesson, “I’m beautiful in my way, ’cause God makes no mistakes.
I’m on the right track, baby. I was born this way.”
Notre Dame Academy understands that individuality is the
real treasure. Regardless of a person’s race, religion, or socioeconomic status, she is welcome. The Academy promotes inclusive behavior by leadership example, through its academic
curriculum, travel opportunities, and outreach projects.
Leading by Example
Cultivating an environment of acceptance is paramount to
the NDA administration. In fact it is an integral part of the
school mission: “The Academy guides young women in
their personal faith formation, challenges students to pursue
academic excellence, and encourages social responsibility on
behalf of global justice.” The seed of acceptance is planted
before the freshmen arrive for their first day of class, and
it continues to grow long after each student leaves the
Hingham campus.
One student group plays a major part in setting a welcoming tone for the school. The Peer Mentors comprise 28
students – 14 seniors and 14 juniors – who serve as role
models, especially for the freshmen. Ms. Heidi Hayes, a
guidance counselor who is also involved with the peer
mentors says, “They welcome the freshmen and help them
with their transition to NDA by answering their questions
honestly, by giving advice, by introducing them to friends,
and by coordinating and running social events.”
Peer mentors welcomed the
freshmen on their first day
of school.
[
To create an accepting community, we must realize the
uniqueness of one another … and recognize that the differences
make us who we are.” jess nevins ’11, peer mentor
The connection between peer mentors and freshmen continues each day in homeroom where the older students serve
as a sort of human question and answer box. Peer Mentor
Jess Nevins ’11 considers her role – helping freshmen discover their place at NDA – to be her greatest responsibility.
“I enjoy observing the freshmen’s growth as they discover
their passions and interests within the NDA community,”
she says. With one year under her belt, she can see how the
sophomores have matured since her days with them in homeroom. “They have become more comfortable in their own
skin and have discovered all that NDA has to offer,” she says.
However, these 28 upperclassmen are more than guides for
the freshmen. They are leaders for the whole school. Hayes
is impressed by the dedication of the peer mentors. She says,
“It is true at any age, but especially for high school students,
that the opinions and actions of peers really matter. Influencing an environment necessitates involvement from all
parties, otherwise it only seems like an agenda or priority
of one small group.” The peer mentors do a superb job of
setting a tone of acceptance for everyone in the school.
Hayes says, “I know it is a priority for them that everyone
feels accepted.”
Nevins concurs. “To create an accepting community, we
must realize the uniqueness of one another, and we must
embrace these differences and recognize that the differences
make us who we are.”
Knowledge Is Power
The first step to accepting others is gaining an understanding of who they are. The Academy’s curriculum seeks to
]
expose students to diversity, broadmindedness, and a general understanding of others. “We teach our students to be
prepared to work and live in a global society,” says Mrs.
Kathleen Rowley Colin ’89, principal of NDA.
While the majority of the course offerings at the Academy
answer the call to train global citizens of tomorrow, Social
Studies, Theology, and World Language take a close look at
the pertinent issues. For example, both Social Studies and
Theology teach world religions. “One cannot understand
the world she lives in without understanding the people
she lives with,” Colin says. “Therefore, she must know the
religions, the customs, the cultures, and the history of the
people of the world in order to understand the way of the
world today.”
Honors World Affairs, a course offered as a senior elective,
is designed to develop the student’s global perspective by introducing issues and events of the past half-century, particularly in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. “By learning
about the struggles of others around the world, students are
exposed to the diversity of peoples and their religious, political, economic and cultural values, beliefs and practices,”
says Ms. Denise Capitummino who teaches the class. She
notes that emphasis is placed on developing the student’s
ability to take a different perspective. “Processing that skill
promotes acceptance, because you can understand and then
empathize with others,” she says.
All Theology courses stress the importance of recognizing
differences. The required sophomore class, Morality, taught
by Sister Pat Toce, SNDdeN, for example, lays the founda-

Heritage Day
Celebration
The preparations begin far in advance. Each
year, students excitedly gather items and costumes to display their class colors at NDA’s annual Heritage Day festivities. While the day is an
amazing display of crazy outfits, its true purpose – promoting a sense of community and
fostering friendships – does not go unnoticed by
students. During Heritage Day this past fall,
Molly McElgunn ’11 served as a leader of a community building circle. The entire NDA community was broken up into circles containing
students from each grade and at least one faculty or staff member. The objective was to meet
more people within NDA, thereby strengthening
the school community. “Going into it, I thought
I knew almost everyone at NDA, but I was very
wrong,” McElgunn admits. “It was great to meet
other girls from different classes.”
The day also includes an outdoor Liturgy where
freshmen receive their Our Lady of Hingham
medals. Taking the time to officially welcome
each new student is an important step in building an inclusive school environment. Principal
Kathleen Rowley Colin ’89 adds, “It is a celebration of who we are as a community, who we always have been, and who we will continue to be.”

sexism. The goal is for students to take what they
learn and apply it to their everyday life, whether on the sports field or in
the community. “I tell the girls, it has to translate into who you are as a
person.”
NDA
inclusive
Just Choices is another Theology class that leaves a lasting impression
on NDA students. Required by all juniors, this class examines social
justice issues and how one’s decisions affect the lives of others. Sister Pat
says her students are very engaged and open to seeing something from
the other side. “The girls hold what they believe firmly, but they are
open to learning about another opinion,” she says.
Student enthusiasm is evident in language courses as well. Mrs. Anne
Marie Gean, who has been teaching French at NDA for the past 27
years, explains that world language classes are no longer just about
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. “Today we also celebrate
culture, music, art, and food.”

Gean applauds her students for realizing the importance of learning a
second language in today’s global society. The Internet makes it easy to
share materials, including news articles in class. “We’re always talking
about current events, not just in France but in African countries, Haiti,
and other French-speaking nations,” Gean says. Often the issues overlap
with those explored in another course. “It’s wonderful when there is a
tie-in to another class or an outreach project,” she says. “The girls apply
what they learned in Just Choices, and speak intelligently to it in our
French class.”
Beyond NDA
Academy faculty and administrators commend students for their inclusive attitude. Gean says NDA students know who they are and are
comfortable with themselves. “Class discussions show that they are not
afraid to speak their mind,” she says. “Our girls stand up for what they
believe.”

embracing immigration
Immigration is a hot topic in today’s political arena. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are active advocates for migrants worldwide and believe that the human dignity and human rights of undocumented migrants should be protected.
A justice and peace committee within the Sisters of Notre Dame community raises awareness about social justice issues. This fall the
group spread the word when the Dream Act was about to go to vote in Washington, D.C. The Dream Act would create paths for the
children of undocumented immigrants to become legal residents – an action strongly supported by the Sisters of Notre Dame.
In a reflection about immigration policy, an author writes, “There is no such thing as an illegal human being. We are all, first, children
of God, endowed with the image of our creator and deserving of respect.” The reflection goes on to say, “Any good public policy must
be based upon respect for your fellow human beings as children of God. It must be based upon respect for family and community.”
The Dream Act remembers that.

Great Expectations
The Bell Sisters Reflect on their Mother’s Commitment to NDA
by lynn page flaherty
Most of us inherit something from our
mothers: blue eyes, a great recipe, a turn
of phrase, maybe a piece of jewelry. For
1961 graduate Mary McGivern Bell’s
three girls, a love for Notre Dame
Academy and a commitment to giving
back were handed down early on from
their mother.
“As the youngest of the three girls in our
family,” explains Katherine (Kat) Bell ’03,
“I always knew I would go to NDA.
Although I was given the option to go
elsewhere, it didn’t really occur to me to
look somewhere else.”
Mary McGivern Bell ’61 surrounded by her three girls,
Eileen Bell Tran ’97, Katherine Bell ’03, and Maura Bell
Boucher ’88 as well as her mother, Anna McGivern.
Eileen Bell Tran ’97 concurs. “I always knew that we had a family
legacy at NDA. My great-grandmother (Katherine Gardner) attended NDA in the 1800s and my mother attended in Roxbury.”
Mary’s daughters knew NDA held a special place in their mother’s
heart. “She often told us stories about all sorts of friends, teachers,
and classes,” explains the eldest, Maura Bell Boucher ’88. “We met
many of the friends she made there while we were growing up.”
Mary McGivern followed in her grandmother’s footsteps, enrolling at
Notre Dame Academy’s picturesque Roxbury campus. She graduated in 1961, just four years before the brick Victorian buildings
would give way to a modern new school in suburban Hingham. She
earned her bachelor’s degree at Emmanuel College, married Matthew
Bell, launched her career as an elementary school art teacher, and
moved to the suburbs. The Bells raised six children – three girls and
three boys – in the Bradley Woods section of Hingham.
When asked to compare her NDA experience with that of her
mother, Maura starts with the obvious. “I was able to take the bus
to school; my Mom lived in the city and rode the T. We had a
sprawling campus; she had a converted boarding school.” But, she
chuckles, “We actually shared some of the same teachers!”
sharing one’s talents
Mary McGiviern Bell ’61 is an elementary school
art teacher, but her artistic achievements go far
beyond the classroom. Mary designed Notre

expect to see the same school differently,

three different decades of white graduation
dresses. “My sisters and I often laugh
about our NDA experiences,” says Maura.
“We may have attended the same school,
on the same campus, but doing it so far
apart, we each experienced completely
different high schools.”
Yet their high school memories share similar happy themes. Kat says, “The most
memorable part of NDA for me is the relationships I built there; my five best friends from NDA will be
my five bridesmaids when I get married this August. “
“During high school, you change so much, you come in very dependent from middle school and you walk out very independent on
your way to college” remembers Eileen. “NDA gave me the perfect
environment to grow and develop into a confident young woman.”
Each sister recognizes that their mother’s affinity for NDA goes beyond her student experience. An active volunteer for most of her
alumnae years, Mary’s involvement with the NDA Alumnae Association was a matter of fact for the family. “My mom always wears
her medallion,“ says Eileen. “She seems to find women everywhere
we go that also attended NDA, due to the medallion.”
While NDA has always been a constant in the life of the Bell family, the family’s commitment to the Academy is one on which NDA
has long been able to depend upon.
Sister Barbara A. Barry, SNDdeN ’69, NDA’s president, is one of
many who have appreciated Mary Bell’s service to her alma mater.
“Over the years, there has always been a core group of alumnae we
could count on for anything the Academy needed, but particularly
to help us find resources for a family in need. Mary Bell has always
been one of the first ones I could call.”
Eileen remembers one of those situations. “One of my favorite
things about NDA is that really, truly people care.” Eileen recalls
her mom mentioning a student who was going to have to leave the
school due to financial issues. “I do not know the details of the situation, but the issue arose at one of the alumnae meetings. The
girl was able to continue attending NDA due to the women who
were sitting at that meeting.”
m
“Mom always stressed giving back.
She always felt that she’d been so blessed along the way.”

Growing up in a family of eight, and now juggling four small children of her own and a career as an emergency room nurse, Maura
acknowledges that it can be tough to follow through on one’s good
intentions when the Alumnae Fund campaign begins. But no matter how tight her family’s budget, she thinks participation is important. “The quality of the education we received, you can’t put
a price on it.”
She recalls receiving financial aid during her days at NDA. “Without that support, I would not have been able to attend.” Today,
she says, “I realize there are many families struggling to afford the
tuition. My hope is that with support from me and other alumnae, we can ease the burden on those families.”
Now living in New York City, Kat still feels the pull to Hingham.
“I give back in hopes that other girls can develop similar lasting relationships and NDA can continue its tradition of sending confident and prepared young women to high-caliber colleges and
universities. If I had daughters, I would happily encourage them to
choose Notre Dame.”
Eileen agrees. “I give back because I want more girls to have the
amazing opportunities I had. NDA has a high academic standard
and all of the students are treated with respect. NDA provided
every opportunity academically, athletically, spiritually, and socially
that I could want and more. I want to make sure that all girls have
this amazing opportunity, too.”
Like so many things, these women tie their own philanthropy back
to the lessons learned from their mother. “Mom always stressed
giving back,” says Maura. “She always felt that she’d been so blessed
along the way.”
Says Kat, “Giving back, monetarily or otherwise, has always been
close to her heart, just as it was to her mother’s. I would like to
think she’d be proud of all of us for following in her footsteps.”

The Bell Family attended NDA during four different
decades. Things certainly changed from year to year!

Planning Ahead
For many philanthropic graduates, outright gifts are the only
way they know to support their alma mater. While annual contributions are vitally important to NDA’s current operations,
the Academy’s financial future is also strengthened by commitments that won’t be realized for many years.
That’s a message that was easy for Carolyn Launie ’00 to embrace. When the certified financial planner was completing the
paperwork required for her company-sponsored life insurance,
she listed Notre Dame Academy as the primary beneficiary.
“Part of my role as a financial planner involves teaching my
clients the creative ways they can put together the pieces of
their financial picture. In reviewing my personal finances, I
found my group life insurance to be an intentional way in
which I could at some point in time make a significant financial contribution to my alma mater.”
This simple gesture makes Carolyn a member of the NDA’s
McAndrews Society, a group of individuals who have taken
steps to provide for future generations of NDA students. “This
sort of legacy gift doesn’t have to cost you anything now, but
can make such a difference for the Academy in the years to
come,” says Lynn Page Flaherty, NDA’s director of institutional
advancement. “We are so grateful to Carolyn and others like
her who not only take steps to provide for NDA, but who, by
notifying us of their plans, allow us to properly extend our
appreciation.”
The McAndrew Society
honors those who have made Notre
Dame Academy part of their legacy
through a planned gift. Members of
this group have included a bequest
provision in a will or trust or provided
for NDA through a retirement plan or
insurance policy. For more information
about how a planned gift can benefit you and NDA,
please contact Lynn Page Flaherty, director of institutional advancement, at 781.749.5930, ext. 2246.

The 2009–2010
Dear Friend,
What a year it has been! We are pleased to report that Notre Dame Academy saw its most successful fundraising
year to date, raising in excess of $1,000,000. Reaching this seven-figure milestone is a first for the Academy and
the impact of this philanthropy has helped to enrich and energize our vibrant and thriving learning community.
These funds allowed us to make capital improvements, increase financial aid and scholarship awards, and
enhance student life in a variety of ways, including:
Capital
• 77 new windows and blue panels were installed on the front of the building
• The dining hall, now named in honor of Saint Julie Billiart, was renovated – new floors, lighting, ceiling
panels, as well as tables, chairs, and new columns all help make the space fresh and bright
Financial Aid & Scholarship
• The Class of 2010’s senior class gift established a three-year scholarship to help a freshman continue
her studies at NDA
• The Laura Guidoboni Scholarship was awarded for the first time to a member of the junior class
• An anonymous bequest created a multi-year fund to provide financial assistance to students from Quincy
Student Life
• Additional guest speakers and field trips were made possible through “wish list” gifts
• The dance team received new uniforms, theology classes benefited from a collection of DVDs, and science
students used a new centrifuge
On behalf of our young women who benefit from the great generosity of the NDA community, we extend
our admiration and gratitude.
Sincerely,
President

Fideles Society Reception
On October 6, NDA hosted an appreciation reception for some of the Academy’s most
generous donors: members of the Fideles Society. More than 75 alumnae, parents, and friends
gathered in the newly renovated Saint Julie Billiart Dining Hall for a lively evening celebrating their support.
Guests heard from senior Molly Morrissey who shared how their giving has impacted her studies. Lynn Page Flaherty, director of institutional advancement, thanked donors for their gifts
and Principal Kathleen Rowley Colin ’89 provided an overview of NDA’s focus on community building. To conclude the evening, donors were the first to learn about the results of the
re-accreditation team visit and the strategic planning process now underway from President
Barbara A. Barry, SNDdeN ’69.
The Fideles Society, Notre Dame Academy’s leadership giving society, includes individuals and
organizations that support NDA with annual gifts of $1,000 or more. The society’s name signifies
the faith its members have in the Academy’s mission.

A New Look
This September, students returned to NDA and were
warmly greeted by a renovated dining hall. The
turquoise tiled columns and old tables were gone,
giving way to new floors, increased lighting and brighter
ceiling panels, as well as new tables, chairs, and
re-designed columns.
These extensive renovations were made possible by a
generous donor family. While they prefer not to be
identified, they asked that the space be named in honor
of Saint Julie Billiart. Sister Barbara A. Barry, SNDdeN,
president of NDA, shared, “In naming this dining
hall, we remember and honor the legacy of friendship
between the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur cofoundresses, Julie Billiart and Francoise de Bourdon.
This beautiful and welcoming new space fosters a spirit
of friendship and the entire community has benefitted
from this extraordinary gift.”
Our benefactors felt strongly that girls deserve facilities
and resources every bit the equal of those at NDA’s
brother schools. They are strong supporters of women’s
education and want to ensure that our students are
given every opportunity to grow into faith filled, socially
responsible young women.

responsibility on behalf of global justice.
In support of this mission, vita! magazine communicates through its pages the newsworthy activities of members of the NDA community.

Your gift to the Annual Fund touches every aspect of the NDA experience.
Tuition alone cannot meet the true cost of an NDA education, and gifts to the
Annual Fund are used to provide students the resources they need to thrive.
