A Letter from the Headmistress Dear Marymount Community, Mother Marie Joseph Butler founded Marymount to educate both the heart and the mind, seeking to nurture the compassionate, conscientious spirit to complement the analytical, questioning brain. Empathy is one of the greatest skills that we can teach our children today. In the words of a concentration camp survivor in an address to educators: “Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more human.” At Marymount, we live out the RSHM mission to serve those who are most in need of justice – the powerless, the deprived, the voiceless – so “that all may have life and live it to the full.” We teach our students to use their time, talent, and energy to help care for their sisters and brothers and to stand up against hatred in all its forms. In this edition of the <strong>Legacy</strong> magazine, we honor three alumnae who continue to fulfill this mission by giving back to their local and global communities and making a positive impact. We come to Marymount with unique backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs, but our community of diversity finds commonality in our commitment to the values and mission of the School. Together, we find the courage to recognize our differences and build bridges across divides; the strength to be our best selves and approach others with empathy and understanding; and the conviction to advocate for ourselves and for those in need of our help. These are the hallmarks of a Marymount education, and as such, I have the utmost confidence in the young women we launch into the world as the bold, wise, engaged leaders of tomorrow. With gratitude, Concepcion R. Alvar Headmistress 2
