Annual Report 2009-2010<strong>Saying</strong> <strong>Yes</strong><strong>to</strong> God’s <strong>Plan</strong>


<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a Catholic, college prepara<strong>to</strong>ry high school for young womenfounded by the Servants of Mary and dedicated <strong>to</strong> Mary, the Mother of God.<strong>Marian</strong> teaches the beliefs of the Roman Catholic faith in a caring and lovingcommunity atmosphere.The mission of <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is <strong>to</strong> commit all its resources <strong>to</strong> the collegeprepara<strong>to</strong>ry education of young women, teaching them <strong>to</strong> be leaders and life-longlearners in a society where their talents and faith will give hope <strong>to</strong> the world.2


During the 2009-2010 school year, the <strong>Marian</strong> community <strong>to</strong>ok a closerlook at Mary’s prayer, the Hail Mary. Each Friday, the entire schoolcomes <strong>to</strong>gether in prayer <strong>to</strong> remember those of this community whohave gone before us in faith. We recite <strong>to</strong>gether the Hail Mary, askingfor Mary’s comfort and grace as we mourn the loss of our loved ones.We chose <strong>to</strong> examine Mary’s prayer as a means <strong>to</strong> better understandMary as a mortal and as the mother of God. As we reach out <strong>to</strong> her inprayer, we wanted <strong>to</strong> fully comprehend the message of the Hail Mary.Mary was so full of God’s grace that she was asked <strong>to</strong> bear His only Son.She was blessed among women as was the fruit ofher womb, Jesus. What is most amazing aboutMary is that, when she was asked <strong>to</strong> give theworld the ultimate gift, the birth of our Savior,she said “YES.” She didn’t weigh the pros andcons or consider what obstacles she mayencounter. Rather, she embraced God’s planand became a role model for young womenof faith everywhere.Looking closely at the Hail Mary and Mary’slife, we wonder if we <strong>to</strong>o are embracingGod’s plan for us. Do we even knowwhat it is? How are we saying“YES” <strong>to</strong> God? As youread throughthe 2009-2010Annual Report,learn abouthow membersof the <strong>Marian</strong>community aresaying yes <strong>to</strong>God’s plan.<strong>Saying</strong><strong>Yes</strong> <strong>to</strong>God’s<strong>Plan</strong>3


Dear <strong>Marian</strong> Family,Dear <strong>Marian</strong> Family,What an amazing first year at <strong>Marian</strong>! I officially began my journey ashead of school in July 2009. Immediately, I was welcomed with open armsby hundreds of parents at a new parent social. I will never forget theheartwarming feeling of being received and greeted with such kindness.Reflecting upon my time thus far, I must say that the girls never cease <strong>to</strong>amaze me. Every day, I am as<strong>to</strong>nished at the spirit and effort put forth fromthe students. Not a day goes by without a <strong>Marian</strong> girl being applaudedfor her work in and out of the classroom. These girls are best describedas confident, independent thinking leaders. This means that they areconstantly committed <strong>to</strong> giving of themselves for the betterment of others.Time and time again, they have proven that the word “can’t” isn’t anoption, and the word “can” has no limits. They are continuously striving forexcellence in all they do. With that said, I am honored and humbled <strong>to</strong> be apart of this community.During the 2009-2010 school year we examined Mary, the mother of Godand how she said “yes” <strong>to</strong> God’s plan for her. Mary serves as a role modelfor our students, faculty and staff and, as a result, we are all looking at howwe <strong>to</strong>o say “yes” <strong>to</strong> God. I am never short of examples, as you will read inthese coming pages.<strong>Marian</strong> would not be the superlative all-girl, Catholic high school it iswithout you. <strong>Marian</strong> remains fiscally strong. Our enrollment grew lastyear and our fundraising efforts were very successful. This is quite anaccomplishment during these challenging economic times. Unlike manyother nonprofit organizations, charitable contributions <strong>to</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> increasedlast year. This is a testament <strong>to</strong> the generosity of the <strong>Marian</strong> family and yourbelief in our mission and young women.Like <strong>to</strong>day’s <strong>Marian</strong> girls, you are saying “yes” <strong>to</strong> God through yourunwavering commitment <strong>to</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> and its mission. Your personal andfinancial assistance directly impact everyone in this school, and for that Iam truly grateful. Furthermore, I am thankful for saying “yes” <strong>to</strong> God’s planfor me here at <strong>Marian</strong>. I have been inspired by my faith and the wonderfulpeople I am surrounded by. This assures me that no matter the trials ortribulations I encounter, I will continue <strong>to</strong> say “<strong>Yes</strong>! I can do this.” I lookforward <strong>to</strong> another school year committed <strong>to</strong> not only saying “yes” <strong>to</strong> God’splan; but also saying “yes” <strong>to</strong> the support of the <strong>Marian</strong> family.Susan M. Russell Toohey ‘82Head of <strong>School</strong>4


Dear Friends of <strong>Marian</strong>,In his book, Mary Mother of Sorrows: the Mystery of Comfort and Hope, LouisCameli states:“Identification with Mary means that Christians see herand say not only, ‘Look, there is the mother of sorrows,’and admire her. They also say, ‘Here is a lifeand faith pattern which I can call my own.’”This statement is reflective of what the <strong>Marian</strong> community was studyingduring the past school year. The purpose of choosing the theme, “<strong>Saying</strong>‘<strong>Yes</strong>’ <strong>to</strong> God’s <strong>Plan</strong>,” was <strong>to</strong> help the staff and students recognize that Maryis indeed a role model for us all. While studying the ‘Hail Mary,’ staff andstudents were contemplating how Mary’s life and faith connects with theirown. Her ‘<strong>Yes</strong>!’ <strong>to</strong> God went far beyond agreeing <strong>to</strong> become the Motherof Jesus. Her trip <strong>to</strong> visit Elizabeth, her life as a young wife and mother,watching her Son grow from baby <strong>to</strong> manhood, losing her spouse, the agonyof watching her Son being persecuted and put <strong>to</strong> death, and her place in theChristian community after His resurrection, all of these were done in ligh<strong>to</strong>f her positive response <strong>to</strong> God’s call in her life. Mary’s life changed at thetime of the Annunciation. Her whole life then revolved around saying ‘<strong>Yes</strong>’ <strong>to</strong>all God had in s<strong>to</strong>re for her. It was a daily recommitment. This is the life andfaith pattern we can emulate.As you can see in the ‘Year in Review’ section of this report, <strong>Marian</strong> studentswere involved in a myriad of activities from academic <strong>to</strong> extracurricular andathletic. Throughout all the achievements and challenges of the year, theseyoung women had daily opportunities <strong>to</strong> live as Mary did by following theMission of <strong>Marian</strong> and the core values which flow through that Mission.In doing so, these students of <strong>to</strong>day grow in<strong>to</strong> the faith-filled leaders in theworld <strong>to</strong>morrow.It’s a pleasure being back in Omaha and having the opportunity <strong>to</strong> be par<strong>to</strong>f the <strong>Marian</strong> community once again. As both a graduate and a Servant ofMary, I’m proud of the growth and accomplishments that <strong>Marian</strong> has hadover the years. It’s wonderful <strong>to</strong> see that the values on which the school wasestablished are still strong <strong>to</strong>day and will be carried out <strong>to</strong> the world by thenew alums each year.May Mary continue <strong>to</strong> provide a ‘life and faith pattern’ for you all.Sr. Mary Gehringer, OSM ‘66Provincial, Servants of Mary5

Now as a mother, I want my children <strong>to</strong> receive the same foundation at school and at home.”Heather tries <strong>to</strong> be a model of Christian living for her children. “Like all parents, I want my kids <strong>to</strong> know how <strong>to</strong> accept others, how <strong>to</strong> be happy for someoneelse’s accomplishments and how <strong>to</strong> lend a hand when it is needed,” explains Heather. “These are the values that <strong>Marian</strong> instilled in me that I am passing on <strong>to</strong>the next generation.”Heather also sees her professional work as part of God’s plan. “<strong>Marian</strong> taught me how <strong>to</strong> be a woman leader, how <strong>to</strong> challenge myself and how <strong>to</strong> achievethose challenges,” says Heather. “<strong>Marian</strong> also prepared me for college. I knew I wanted <strong>to</strong> continue my education so that I could get a good job,” she continues.“This is part of God’s plan for me. I am just as passionate about being an example <strong>to</strong> my children as I am about being an example <strong>to</strong> women who work outsidethe home. It <strong>to</strong>ok strength perseverance and faith <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> where I am, but I got there, and I want other women <strong>to</strong> know they can achieve their goals <strong>to</strong>o.”Heather also knows the importance of giving back. “Again, at <strong>Marian</strong>, service <strong>to</strong> others is a way of life, and I carry that mot<strong>to</strong> with me <strong>to</strong>day,” she explains. “Iam responsible for my family and my work, but I am also responsible for the community I share with others and the world in which I live. I want <strong>to</strong> do my part<strong>to</strong> make all of it better for me, for my family and friends and for those who share it with me. I am blessed <strong>to</strong> have learned this at an early age. I am blessed that<strong>Marian</strong> taught me this so that I can share it with the world.”19

Nancyfulfills <strong>Marian</strong>’s mission through her ability<strong>to</strong> learn from the students and familiesshe served, recognizing the needs of thosefamilies and then providing hope andsolutions.When Nancy was named principal of LibertyElementary Grade <strong>School</strong> in down<strong>to</strong>wnOmaha, she immediately <strong>to</strong>ok action <strong>to</strong>engage the surrounding community <strong>to</strong>ensure that families whose children were<strong>to</strong> be educated at Liberty were gettingwhat they needed from their school. Nancydiscovered that her students needed morethan an education, and she was ready <strong>to</strong>provide what services she could <strong>to</strong> hercommunity.Nancy changed the way Omaha Public<strong>School</strong>s teach and serve the underserved,undocumented and impoverished. Nancywanted Liberty <strong>to</strong> be a part of the down<strong>to</strong>wncommunity, not just a school.

She says that the long-lasting20


elationships she made with families in thosepositions are some of the dearest in her life.Even in Nancy’s community service work,she has remained an advocate for childrenand families whose voices may not alwaysbe heard. She served on Boards for the RoseTheater, Girls, Inc., and Voices for Children.Nancy is a woman who embodies peaceand justice and who has dedicated her life<strong>to</strong> that mission. The hope she has brought<strong>to</strong> the families of the OPS school system isunparalleled.Joe and Bonnie Shea<strong>Marian</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> honored Joe and BonnieShea, pictured back row center, with the2010 <strong>Marian</strong> Award for the many years ofselfless service they have given <strong>to</strong> the Omahacommunity and <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.If one had <strong>to</strong> use a word, or better yet threewords <strong>to</strong> describe the Sheas, they would be:Faith. Family. Friends. These are thecorners<strong>to</strong>nes of the Sheas’ life.Let’s begin with Faith: the Catholic faithhas been the foundation upon which Joeand Bonnie have built their life. They havealways trusted in God’s plan for them. Faithand family go hand in hand for the Sheas.Joe and Bonnie put family first. They arevery active parents in the lives of their eightchildren, three boys and five girls and their21 grandchildren.Joe and Bonnie have been members of St.Phillip Neri Parish for 35 years, and they havebeen more than just parishioners. Joe andBonnie sent their eight children <strong>to</strong> gradeschool there, and as a result, Bonnie becamea permanent fixture at St. Phil’s. She wasa Room Mom for all of their kids’ classes,which kept her quite busy. In 1986, Bonniewas given the St. Philip Neri Volunteer ofthe Year Award. Joe was an equally activedad, as his children would say: “He coachedeverything under the sun”—baseball,basketball, and softball <strong>to</strong> name a few.The Sheas commitment <strong>to</strong> Catholiceducation continued with <strong>Marian</strong> for theirgirls and Creigh<strong>to</strong>n Prep for their boys.There’s an interesting fact about Joe andBonnie Shea and their five daughters, Kelly,Katie, Kristy, Maggie and Maddie. <strong>Marian</strong> isblessed <strong>to</strong> have had 20 wonderful years withthe Sheas as current parents because each oftheir daughters was four or more years apartin age, so each daughter walked these hallsone at a time.<strong>Marian</strong> kept the Sheas quite busy for thosetwenty years and beyond. Joe and Bonniewere both active in the Home & <strong>School</strong>Association, Bonnie worked on numerousFEST events and the two were supportersof FAME (Fine Arts Enthusiasts at <strong>Marian</strong>).In recent years, Bonnie chaired this paren<strong>to</strong>rganization as their youngest Maddie, whograduated in 2009, was a very active thespianand choir member. Joe and Bonnie nevermissed a single performance. In fact, in 2009,the Select Women’s Choir, of which Maddiewas a member, competed in its first Festivalof Gold in New York City. With a personalfondness for NYC, Joe and Bonnie <strong>to</strong>ok thelead in planning this trip. The trip was a hugesuccess and, as a result, Miss Cathy Pruittecommissioned Bonnie’s assistance <strong>to</strong> planthe 2010 trip <strong>to</strong> Chicago, and Bonnie obligedher.Currently one can find Joe working next<strong>to</strong> his three sons and two sons-in-law atRochester Armored Car Company, whereJoe is president, and one can find Bonnielunching with her “moms club” whichconsists of her four daughters, Kelly, Katie,Kristy and Maggie.Faith, family and finally friends: For those ofyou who do not know Joe and Bonnie, youcannot find a nicer, friendlier couple. It isno wonder that so many people call thesetwo “friend.” With their faith in God andtheir family at their side, Joe and Bonniealways have time for others, no matter theirobligations. As their son Bill puts it: “Myparents taught me how <strong>to</strong> enjoy all aspects oflife. No matter the situation or how busy theywere with work, they always seemed happyand made everyone that surrounded themfeel the same.”The Sheas are truly living testaments of theServite charism of service, compassion andcommunity.21

Current ParentTracy Wernsman always knew she wanted <strong>to</strong> be a mom. As an educa<strong>to</strong>r with Omaha Public <strong>School</strong>s, Tracy fell in love with her students time and time again, butshe knew that life was not easy for some of them. Some of her students were in foster care because of unpleasant conditions at home. She wanted <strong>to</strong> be morethan just a teacher <strong>to</strong> these students; she wanted <strong>to</strong> be the safe haven for them. At the end of her father’s life, as she cared for him in her home, she <strong>to</strong>ld him ofher dream <strong>to</strong> be a mom and received his blessing <strong>to</strong> adopt.Tracy quickly began the process <strong>to</strong> become an approved foster parent, with her ultimate goal <strong>to</strong> adopt a child in need. At the end of her training, she was askedwhat kind of child she wanted <strong>to</strong> help. “I <strong>to</strong>ld the advocate that when I closed my eyes I saw a seven-year-old girl,” says Tracy. “The advocate began <strong>to</strong> cry, thensaid, ‘I have a girl I want you <strong>to</strong> meet.’”Tracy was introduced <strong>to</strong> Tamarrah, then seven years of age. The two immediately bonded. When Tamarrah went <strong>to</strong> live with Tracy, Tamarrah’s four-year-oldbrother, David, stayed with the previous foster family. “They said they wanted <strong>to</strong> adopt him, and I was happy <strong>to</strong> know that would happen for David,” says Tracy.However, 10 months later, through unforeseen circumstances, David was left without a home. “An advocate called me immediately <strong>to</strong> see if I would care for himwhile she worked on a plan,” says Tracy. “After one night in my home, I knew David was <strong>to</strong> be a part of my family. Tamarrah was overjoyed <strong>to</strong> be with her littlebrother again.”Adopting David and Tamarrah was a gift from God explains Tracy. “Tamarrah was the girl I pictured when I thought about my family,” says Tracy. “I realize nowthat David was part of this vision <strong>to</strong>o, I just needed Tamarrah <strong>to</strong> show him <strong>to</strong> me.”Tracy says <strong>Marian</strong> is like an extra vitamin for Tamarrah. “I knew seven years ago, when Tamarrah became my daughter, that she would attend <strong>Marian</strong> one day,”says Tracy. “Our lives are already grounded by our faith. <strong>Marian</strong> simply extends that foundation and continues <strong>to</strong> enrich and fortify her life.”<strong>Marian</strong> is doing its part <strong>to</strong> support Tracy as a mother. “<strong>Marian</strong> recognizes the vocation I was called <strong>to</strong>, motherhood,” says Tracy. “The teachers, counselors andstaff are all helping Tamarrah find her giftedness, which in turn is supporting God’s plan for me as mother <strong>to</strong> her.”29

Suffering from a severe illness that left herlegs paralyzed for three years, St. Teresa experienced a vision of “thesorely wounded Christ” that changed her life. She focused her faith onChrist’s passion and set her vision on the reformation of her order ofCarmelites. Saint Teresa practiced mental prayer <strong>to</strong> keep Christ insideof her. She said, “Prayer is an act of love, words are not needed.

St. Therese of LisieuxPatron of the missions Feast Day: Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 1up <strong>to</strong> $99With fierce determination and faith, St. Therese of Lisieux soughtpermission from the Holy Father himself <strong>to</strong> enter the CarmeliteConvent at the unusually young age of 15. Saint Therese was raised inan atmosphere of faith, where every virtue and aspiration was carefullynurtured and developed. This resulted in St. Therese becoming aPatroness of Missionaries; she also initiated “the little way” – doingsimple but powerful things for the love of God.Supporting <strong>Marian</strong> at this level shows that what may be perceived as asimple and small gift can, in reality, make a powerful difference.3 MColleen Connor Abraham ‘59David Drzaic & Amy Adams ‘81Jim & Patricia Haney Adams ‘70Jim

The check represents a four-year, $50 pergraduate pledge <strong>to</strong> <strong>Marian</strong>’s annual giving program, The <strong>Marian</strong> Fund.In 2007, <strong>Marian</strong>’s Advancement Program began meeting withthe senior class <strong>to</strong> discuss women in philanthropy and theimportance of financially supporting organizations that they careabout and that they want <strong>to</strong> see advance in their mission andvision. The program, called the Senior Gift Pledge, is designed <strong>to</strong>encourage and inspire graduating seniors <strong>to</strong> continue sharingtheir resources with <strong>Marian</strong>. Because more than half of <strong>Marian</strong>students graduate with help from tuition assistance, the SeniorGift Pledge is a way for students <strong>to</strong> say thank you and directlyimpact their peers, schoolmates and future <strong>Marian</strong> girls.The first class <strong>to</strong> participate, the Class of 2007, <strong>to</strong>ok this lesson<strong>to</strong> heart and collected four-year, $50 pledges--$5 the first year ofcollege, $10 the second, $15 the third and $20 the fourth--frommore than 83% of its members.
