One alumna inspired the St. Catherine’s community and people
around the globe to raise more than $125,000. Taylor Anderson
’04 was living the School Motto as a teacher in Japan when her life
was cut short by the tsunami this past March. The Taylor Anderson
’04 Memorial Gift Fund was established in her memory.
Grandparents’ & Special Friends’ Day
In June, Elizabeth Cabell Jennings ’81 completed 15 years of board service, the last five of which were as Chair of the Board of Governors. The mother of three Saints, Elizabeth led St. Catherine’s during a period of tremendous growth and was an inexhaustible volunteer and an eloquent advocate for the School. We are tremendously grateful for her service.
The Lower School gathered in late May to bid a fond farewell to retiring Director Margaret Bloor. After receiving a number of tributes, Margaret was surprised by the announcement that a new Lower School playground, named in her honor, will be constructed this summer. Margaret and her husband Dave were also honored as recipients of the 2011 Adelaide Rawles Flippen ’30 Outstanding Service Award for their combined 63 years of service to the School.

ST. CATHERINE’S DAY
Gifts were received from our school family, across the nation
and a variety of countries, including Japan. St. Catherine’s students
sold bracelets, including Taylor’s initials and an excerpt of the School
Motto. Lower School students donated proceeds from Make A
Change Mondays and a portion of the proceeds from the Joni Spring
concert was donated to match a variety of other on-campus efforts.
Working closely with the Anderson family, preparations are
underway to establish Taylor Anderson Reading Corners for the
Japanese schools in which Taylor worked. Funds will also benefit
rebuilding efforts for Japanese schools and children in an effort to
continue her legacy in the country she loved so much.
Daisy Days Co-Chairs Missy Mauck (left) and Sylvie Forestell (right) presented a check for $93,000 to Head of School Laura Fuller.

In recognition of her service to St. Catherine’s, our new independent research lab in the Upper School science facility will be named for departing Head of School Laura Fuller. Laura championed St. Catherine’s effort to position itself as a leader in science education and introduced several curricular changes, such as the STEM (Science Technology Engineering
and Mathmatics) program and Physics First. A plaque, bearing Laura’s name, will hang in the new space when it opens in the fall of 2012.
“This space is the culmination of a dream I have had for years to provide high school age students with the important research skills they will need to enter successfully the study of collegiate science,” Laura said.

Year in Review
Pursuing academic excellence • Developing character
Nurturing spiritual growth
Celebrating individuals • Building community
2010-11
THANK YOU to all of the devoted teachers, coaches,
spiritual leaders, parents, grandparents, alumnae,
friends, school staff, board members and countless
volunteers whose contributions big and small made
this an outstanding year at St. Catherine’s School.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go,
instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
An unprecedented new science program
requires unparalleled space for exploration
and discovery. A new science facility for our
Upper School girls incorporating Mullen Hall
will add new labs and update existing ones
with the most advanced learning models
available. The additional space will create new
opportunities to expand our science program
like never before, making it one of the most
transformative changes to St. Catherine’s
to date. Phase four is the final construction
phase in our campaign for growth, for the
future, and for the girls who will shape it.
We can’t stop now. Your hand in this is crucial.
