Dear Stanner Community,<br />
In our last issue of Stanner Life, I described what it means to be Marist. Among the<br />
most important characteristics of such an individual are making your mark on the<br />
life of another, and putting the needs of others before self. As a Catholic Marist high<br />
school, it is imperative that we continue to teach these ideals to our students, as<br />
well as manifest them as the leaders who nurture their growth. The end result is a<br />
community steeped in faith that embodies our motto, “Not for school but for life,”<br />
in extraordinary ways throughout their lives.<br />
In retrospect, the 2012-13 school year proved to be a year unlike most others in<br />
<strong>Molloy</strong> history. The events of this year tested us in so many ways. After the devastation<br />
left in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, many members of our community were<br />
left with financial and emotional burdens. <strong>Molloy</strong> also lost true “giants” in Coach<br />
Jack Curran, Brother Francis Regis, and our founding Golf Chairman, Joe Gordon ‘64.<br />
The loss of these men reminded us all not only of the value of loyalty and commitment,<br />
but that we must always be ready to carry on the legacy of those who lay the<br />
foundation for our own success in life.<br />
While <strong>Molloy</strong> was challenged in many ways, I am proud to say that our community<br />
“stepped up,” revealing that we truly are Marist. I am thankful for the kindness and<br />
generosity of our students, administration, faculty, alumni, families, and friends<br />
who all came together and exhibited their selflessness and love for each other by<br />
volunteering their time and resources for those who needed it most. Whether it was<br />
our students pitching in to clean up homes in the Rockaways, or faculty and alumni<br />
planning tributes for our lost “giants,” our community expressed the Marist Charism<br />

I truly look forward to the year ahead. I am positive that our community will continue<br />
to visit <strong>Molloy</strong> in record numbers, and we anticipate a very exciting and engaging<br />
event season this Fall. If we have learned anything over the past year, it is that<br />
coming together is what keeps us strong. I look forward to<br />
working with all of you in keeping <strong>Molloy</strong> as strong as ever.<br />
