Empowering Young Women Since 1872
A magazine for alumnae, parents, faculty and friends of Villa Maria Academy
Fall 2016
Letter from the Director
Dear Villa Maria Alumnae, Friends, and Family,
“Yes, yes, yes we do, we have spirit how about you?”
This cheer has resounded on buses, fields and gyms
here for generations. This fall there has been plenty
of evidence that the Villa spirit is alive and well. On
August 29th we welcomed 119 members of the Class of 2020. They brought
with them unbridled enthusiasm for their new home away from home.
Our inaugural Homecoming weekend began with the Hall of Fame
dinner on Friday night, where our first class of four athletes and seven Fidelis
Award recipients was inducted. Each inductee speech referenced the Villa
spirit and how the school had positively influenced their lives. Even a little
rain the next day couldn’t dampen the spirit of all the alumnae, their families,
and current families who came out to celebrate Homecoming. Everywhere
I went, I saw alumnae proudly showing their children where they went to
school, while others gathered to relive the glory days. We celebrated our
state champion volleyball teams in the morning and our state champion
field hockey teams in the afternoon. It was truly an awesome “Villa Spirit” day.
As I write this, the Thanksgiving season is upon us, and I want you all
to know how grateful we are for your support. You support us with your
prayers, your time as volunteers, and your monetary contributions. As we
enter the holiday season, know how grateful we are for each and every one
of you and for all that you do for Villa.
As the year continues, I hope that you will find time to connect with us.
Let us know what is happening in your lives. We want to celebrate the good
times with you and support you through your challenging times. I hope
that you will remember us in your prayers as we strive to continue the tradi-
tion of excellence you all remember. It is challenging work but so rewarding
as well. So, the next time someone says, “yes, yes, yes we do, we have spirit
how about you?”, I hope you can answer with a resounding, “Yes I have spirit!”
Sincerely,
Kathy McCartney
Director of Advancement

Villa Maria is very grateful to Laura for offering her warm hospitality once again

Giving Tuesday, and programs like senior Capstone.
Our Villa fund donations totaled over $440,000, which allowed us to make the
following improvements to campus:
Security upgrades, including cameras throughout our campus
New HVAC in the gym

Additional outdoor seating and picnic benches so that students can enjoy
