letter from sister
St. Cecilia Academy principal, Sister Anne Catherine, O.P. presents Claire Johnson her class ring at the Junior Ring Mass held at
the St. Cecilia Congregation Motherhouse this March. Johnson is receiving the SCA class ring that belonged to her mother, Alicia
Marchesi Johnson ’82.
Dear Families and Friends,
Mens sana in corpore sano. We all know that St. Cecilia Academy offers
an excellent academic foundation, but this issue of Harpstrings trumpets
the fact that, as the Latin adage goes, of equal importance to a total
education of the human person is “a sound mind in a sound body.” In
other words, we are a unity of body and soul, mind and spirit, and the
mission of St. Cecilia is as attuned to the formation of the body and the
spirit as it is to the formation of the intellect.
This winter we were happy to launch a new SCA rowing program in
conjunction with the Nashville Juniors Rowing Association. After training on ergometers at school during the winter months and hitting Percy
Priest Lake this spring, our team is off and rowing, now competing in regattas in Tennessee and throughout the Southeast. The sport of rowing
is a great match for SCA girls, combining as it does physical endurance,
technical deftness, and an exquisite sense of teamwork.
This issue of Harpstrings illustrates how the commitment to “sound mind
and sound body” that begins in the physical education classes and afterschool training sessions of mentors like Coach Picklesimer and Coach
Kuyper continues even when Scarabs leave St. Cecilia, as evidenced by
a number of our alumnae who are integrating their passion for wellness
with their business and career interests. Staying healthy and encouraging others to be so has become a way of service for these women.
At Christmas our theater was filled to capacity with friends and supporters of St. Cecilia Academy who turned out in droves to see Brenda
Lee in her first-ever hometown concert. Brenda wowed long-time fans
and made new ones with a two-hour extravaganza of singing and storytelling. No wonder Little Miss Dynamite is a Country Music and Rockn-Roll Hall of Famer!
Whether it is in the classroom, at the all-school retreat, in athletics or
in the fine arts, education at St. Cecilia Academy is an education of
the whole person that provides a foundation for life. As we honor our
donors in our 2012-2013 annual report, I want to echo my own thank
you for your support of our students and our mission. As St. Irenaeus
said, “The glory of God is man fully alive,” and as partners with you at
St. Cecilia, together we have the privilege of seeing God’s hand at work
as our girls discover their gifts and find happiness and fulfillment by
becoming fully alive in Christ.
With prayers for you and your families,
Sister Anne Catherine, O.P.

SCA athletic director, Coach Maggie Kuyper,
is thrilled about the future of rowing at SCA.
“What is unique to rowing is that it is the
purest form of teamwork. The synchronization involved in every athlete in the boat
needs to be so precise in order to move, let
alone win a race. That’s why I am so excited
to offer rowing at SCA this spring. I think
our girls will learn more about what being a
teammate is all about and that is something
we really value at SCA,” Kuyper said.
The training for the spring season began in
February and the interscholastic races began in March. The team has had a strong
showing and ended their season winning
the Oak Ridge Dual Regatta. n

Alumna Laura Lynn Williams ’10 is on
the Samford University crew team. She
joined the team her sophomore year.
Even though SCA did not have a rowing
team when she attended high school, it
was her experience at SCA that led to
her interest in the sport.

“I was on the soccer team at SCA and
that always kind of pushed me through
more challenging experiences, so when
I got to college I missed those challenges and got really restless. When I
was asked to try out for the crew team
here, I found it even more challenging
and even more rewarding than soccer
had ever been, and I found a home in
that. Additionally, Saint Cecilia fostered
a love for tradition, and rowing is one
of the most tradition-based sports that
there is, so that definitely played a part
in it,” Williams explained.
Williams is excited to see St. Cecilia
Academy now has a rowing team.
“For the past few years I’ve commented to friends about how perfect rowing
would be for SCA girls because it requires a discipline and drive
that I’ve always seen
coming from St. Cecilia
girls,” Williams said.

St. Cecilia Academy is committed to teaching students that wellness is not just about
physical health and fitness. Being fit means being healthy in all dimensions of
your life. Coach Bryan Picklesimer, SCA strength coach, is revolutionizing how our
girls think about fitness and is inspiring a lifetime of good habits.
social, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of the students.
Chief in its objective is that girls acquire the skills of lifetime
health.
“Our goal is to educate the girls to live a truly complete and
healthy life beyond the weight room. We want them to be healthy
for a lifetime, not just while they are here at SCA,” coach Picklesimer said.
“Wellness
better prepares girls to be
strong women by challenging them to
continually grow. It is part of what makes
SCA excellent...”
In a given week, students spend two days in the weight room
emphasizing high-intensity, functional movements and Olympic
weightlifting. They spend one day in the classroom learning about
nutrition, healthy relationships and other important aspects of
well-being. They spend the fourth day doing an alternative exercise like Zumba, yoga, or jump rope.
“I really like wellness. It’s fun and I feel like I always get a really
good workout,” said junior, Maddie Clarke.

Inspiring a lifetime of good habits
What is the most requested elective course at SCA? Health and
Wellness with Coach Bryan Picklesimer. The class meets four
times a week and offers students an opportunity to get fit and a
whole lot more. The class employs a cross-training, functional-fitness approach as girls do Olympic weightlifting, jump on 30 inch
high boxes, learn about healthy relationships and even do a little
yoga. The class, first introduced this fall, is gaining popularity on
campus. Already, four sections of students have listed wellness
with “Coach P.” as their first elective choice in the fall semester.
Unlike traditional physical education courses, which focus solely
on sports, the goal of Picklesimer’s class is to build the mental,

Not many SCA girls have weight room experience when they
enter as freshman. After this class, they will feel comfortable
building their own fitness programs well beyond their years at St.
Cecilia.
“It can be intimidating for girls to go to a gym or weight room
with a bunch of guys. This class gives them the tools and knowledge to gain confidence and exposure to the equipment,” Picklesimer said.
Additionally, Coach Picklesimer challenges each girl to live her
true Christian vocation as God created her to be so that she can
become the best version of herself.
“Wellness is consistent and integral to the SCA mission. It is all
about enhancing the wholeness of the individual. Wellness better
prepares girls to be strong women by challenging them to continually grow. It is part of what makes SCA excellent,” Picklesimer

“Since I was a little girl I've always had a love for fitness and sports,
but it wasn't until high school that my love for competition developed.
Running track at SCA to my collegiate track career at Samford, and
from that experience I knew I wanted to be involved in fitness professionally.”
Kady Decker ’04 earned a degree in Health and Fitness Promotion
from Samford University, where she spent four years on a track scholarship. She first learned of Pure Barre the summer before her senior
year of college while visiting a friend in Lexington, Kentucky. She
fell in love with this ballet-inspired workout, and during her senior
year of school looked into franchising opportunities. After getting
approval to open a studio in Green Hills, Kady officially opened the
doors in March of 2009. One year later she opened a second location in Brentwood, Tennessee. Pure Barre is a group fitness class that
works muscles to fatigue utilizing a ballet barre and small isometric
movements, thus yielding results very quickly. Decker’s clients are
highly dedicated and loyal because of the results that they consistently see and also because of the support teachers provide in every
class. To learn more about Pure Barre, Green Hills and Pure Barre,

was able to enjoy leadership roles in many different facets in high school,
and I danced in every fine arts assembly, talent show, and even sometimes
in the hallways. St. Cecilia provided a nurturing environment for me to
grow as an artist and paved the way for me to be a strong female leader
in the community. “
In addition to owning Tennessee Dance Arts Conservatory and being
co-owner of Barefeet Studios, Jennifer Harwell ’89 has a master’s
degree in English and is the artistic director of a professional nonprofit dance company called Nashville in Motion. In all three of these
studios, the instructors believe that wellness is connected to the soul
and body. In Harwell’s studios, the instructors encourage artistic ways
of staying fit with dance in its many forms (ballet, hip-hop, jazz, Zumba, African dance, tap and yoga). Encouraging young souls to dance
helps them find joy in fitness. Harwell connects live music and visual
art with dance, so both children and adults connect wellness to “art
and soul” work. With Nashville In Motion, Harwell creates works for
dancers that tell stories about healthy living, such as a rock opera ballet called FIX that addresses addiction and recovery. In every aspect of
wellness, Harwell believes dance and art can inspire and change lives.

“My experience playing soccer and tennis at SCA allowed me to establish
my love and passion for fitness. I was involved with sports starting at an
early age, but during my time at SCA I really learned the importance of
fitness and of maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle overall. My experience with SCA athletics led me to play soccer in college and motivated
me to maintain that active lifestyle after college as well. The passion for
fitness that I established at SCA ultimately led me to the decision to pursue
a career in fitness by opening up Studio Novo Nashville.”
“In terms of St. Cecilia, my interest in nutrition as a field of study really
began there in my junior year. […] I did a survey on what students ate for
lunch in the cafeteria. […] I found that the two most commonly consumed
foods by St. Cecilia girls were Cheetos and Milky Way bars (we would
melt the Milky Way bars in the microwave and eat them with a spoon). In
considering the implications, I began to think about the need for vitamins
and minerals and making better food choices.”
Anna Hance Tefel ’03 is the owner of Studio Novo Nashville, featuring the popular Lagree Fitness™ technique. The method is a
full-body workout done in 50 minutes. Lagree Fitness™ integrates
the key elements of resistance and counter resistance in a sequence
that allows for periods of zero gravity at peak muscle contraction.
In a relatively short period of time, the workout strengthens the
body, tones and elongates the muscles, improves endurance, jumpstarts the metabolism, burns fat, increases flexibility and postural
alignment and restores the body’s natural balance. The composition
of this method is significant in that it encourages maximum exertion
while allowing for a low risk of injury. This sequence also promotes
flexibility and elasticity. Visit www.novonashville.com for more information and for the complete class schedule.

named the 2012-2013 State of Tennessee
Volleyball Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NHFS). This distinction comes on
the heels of being awarded the Tennessee

the Year award last year when the SCA volleyball team won the state championship
and when two of her volleyball team captains were also recognized by the TSWA.
Coach Kuyper took over the St. Cecilia Academy volleyball program seven years ago and
in that time has built the most successful athletic program in the school’s 153-year history.
“It is a privilege to be a part of such an accomplished volleyball team. It is an incredible feeling to be identified as coach of the
year for a sport to which I have dedicated
all my life,” Coach Kuyper said.

and served as a captain in 2004 and 2005.
Coach Kuyper was honored for her achievement before a home volleyball game this fall.

Past SCA Dads keep the spirit alive
For the last 22 years, every Monday night at St. Cecilia Academy,
long after the girls leave campus and the cleaning crews have retired
for the night, a dedicated group of men arrive at the all-girl school
to play basketball, a group comprised of past SCA dads and sons.
“It’s a combination of competition and camaraderie. Basketball
brings us here, but it’s the company that provides the most benefit to
us,” said former SCA dad, Frederick Strobel.
“We’ve been playing here so long
it feels like
home,” Strobel said.
The weekly game started in 1991 when Strobel’s daughters, Paich
’04 and Sarah McKay ’07, were at Overbrook School. They put an
ad in the Overbrook bulletin and recruited several dads to play halfcourt games in the Overbrook gym. They mimicked the heat of the
professional basketball season and played from January to March.
In 1994, the guys moved to full-court games, playing three to four
30-point games a night. In the spring of 1996, they made a decision
to play year-round. This is when the game moved to the St. Cecilia
gym.

Former SCA dads, Pat

“It’s a special shared experienced. Many of us have daughters that
played sports, many that played basketball on this court. We came
to every game and cheered them on, so that makes playing here a lot
more special,” Strobel said.
The usual players?
Paul Beavin, whose daughter Susan Beavin ’08, played basketball
at SCA, is a regular. He also brings his sons Will and Patrick to play.
His late son, Paul, was also a regular.
“It’s the kind of place a dad enjoys so much, that he brings his son.
This is multigenerational. I’m 62 and still playing,” Strobel said.
Other former SCA dads that make Monday night basketball at SCA
a part of their weekly ritual are Pat Clarke (Cassetty Ann Clarke
’08), Jim Reyland (Maggie Reyland ’05, Emily Reyland ’07), and
Henry Geny (Jennifer Geny ’08 and Elizabeth Geny ’08).
While the Monday night games drew many SCA dads in the beginning, they have evolved to include a full roster of about 35 men of
former Father Ryan High School basketball players, Montgomery
Bell Academy grads, and other friends of SCA fathers.
“We’ve been playing here so long it feels like home,” Strobel said.
Cheers to all the former SCA dads who have helped create a new
SCA tradition. This was and always will be your home. n

Every once in awhile, we are fortunate enough to

have a knack for making us feel special. Alumna

unique pen pal relationship she maintained
while she was a student at St. Cecilia Academy,
a relationship that helped her learn that she, like
all of us, is loved unconditionally.
that being different is good
and something to be proud of.
I remember sitting in front of the television
really close to the screen, so close that I could
touch his sweater, and time and time again
his recurring sentence was, "Boys and girls,
isn't it good that we are all different? If we all
were the same, think how boring it would be.
If you have something that makes you different, be proud of this. I am proud to know
you." That calm, low, reassuring voice of his
was laced with such confidence and assuredness.

the silver medal she won in the 200 meter
breaststroke at the 2004 Paralympic Trials.
In her own words
Contributor: Katie Wells ’00
I never would have thought that Fred Rogers in his blue sweater behind the screen
would be the one, who taught me that being
different is good, and if you are different or
have a disability to be proud of it. See, I was
born with one arm, but I never gave it much
thought because my family acted like it was
no big deal. When I started daycare, I was not
prepared for kids making fun of me. Even at
that young age of three of four, it was Mister
Rogers on his show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood who gave me the confidence to know
www.stcecilia.edu
Years later, while at St. Cecilia, I decided
to write Mister Rogers to thank him for the
many ways he had helped me, and he wrote
back! In his first letter he wrote, "What you
told me about yourself reminded me of one
of our songs in our musical story about Josephine the Short-Necked Giraffe, "You're
much more than your neck…Well, Katie,
you certainly are much more than your one
arm...I'm proud to know you." He understood that a disability doesn't define a person. Just the fact that he had a character on
the show named Josephine the Short-Necked
Giraffe showed that he got it.
He also taught me to have poise, dignity, and
composure when kids were making fun of
me. He reflected on this in a letter when he
wrote, "I can only begin to imagine some of
the difficult times you've had, and it was
heartwarming to know that you would often
think of our Neighborhood messages about
being kind to others, especially at times when
children were making fun of you."
“Well, Katie, you certainly are
much more than your one
arm...I’m proud to know you.”
I wrote him back, and then he wrote again.
Over the next five years we exchanged so
many letters I lost count. Now they are all
neatly organized in a binder in chronological order. You can see at one point where he
transitioned writing the letters on a word processor to a computer. I received his last letter
in January 2003, just shy of exactly a month
before he died. I didn't know that he was battling cancer, nor did I know this would be his
last letter, but I think he knew. He ended his
last letter with, "Katie, all of your friends here
in this Neighborhood wish you deep peace
and simple joys— both given and received."
Mister Rogers, I’m proud to know you. n

The SCA Athletics Hall of Fame was created to recognize extraordinary athletes, coaches, and contributors whose dedication to the mission of SCA Athletics serves as a model for SCA students to emulate.
“It is an incredible honor to be a part of the 2013
Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Each of these
women made a unique mark in SCA Athletics and
we were honored to share their stories. They each
left a legacy for all St. Cecilia girls to emulate on and
off the courts,” said SCA Athletic Director, Maggie
Kuyper.

Meet Emily Peters, SCA class of 2014, and
her mother, Mary Holzmer Peters, SCA class
of 1982.
Best known to the St. Cecilia community
for her accomplishments as a Scarab cross
country runner, senior Emily feels that her
pre-running butterflies are most intense just
prior to her team’s pre-race warm up drills,
directed by head Coach Teresa Marchetti assisted by Coach Bryan Picklesimer. When
the starter’s gun booms, Emily’s butterflies
depart for Mexico, and her focus narrows at
once to matters at hand: performing at her
highest level!
Mary, Emily’s Mom, and a former Scarab basketball athlete in her own right, along with
Dad, Dr. Mark Peters, are their daughter’s
most enthusiastic fans. In fact, all of the
Peters are runners, and Mary is training
for her first half-marathon (13.1 miles).
Mom testifies that Emily is self-motivated in her drive to be her maximum best
in her sport, putting together her own
training agenda and sticking to it, religiously. Emily has the Will to Win!
Emily says she has developed the
“mental toughness to put out of my
mind all negative thoughts and images and push my body to the max.
Convincing myself that winning is
possible,” Emily declares. “Running
is a team sport; but it is basically an
individual sport.”
Mom agrees. ”In other team sports,

St. Cecilia Academy inducts five alumna to the SCA Athletic Hall of Fame
continued from page 14
All five of the inductees played at the collegiate level after graduating from St. Cecilia.
Annie Herbert Daniel '60 was the SCA
volleyball co-captain in 1959 and tennis
captain in 1960. She went on to attend Converse College, where she was a member of
the aquatic team. She is a graduate of Peabody College of Vanderbilt University where
she was also a member of the aquatics team.
“I am forever grateful to St. Cecilia for all the
hours of education, discipline, and sports. I
am grateful for the fine friends I made who
continue to be in my life today,” said SCA
Hall of Fame inductee, Daniel, on her participation in SCA Athletics.
Sister Margaret Andrew Baker, O.P. '77
played basketball at St. Cecilia Academy.
During her senior year in 1977, Sister Margaret Andrew made the Nashville
Banner All Nashville Team. She continued playing basketball after graduating from SCA at the University of the
South at Sewanee.

Sister Mary Cecilia Goodrum, O.P. '89
was a multi-sport athlete during her time
at St. Cecilia. At SCA, she was a member
of the basketball, soccer, softball, tennis,
and track teams. She made the All Nashville Basketball Team from 1987 to 1989,
was a member of the Basketball 1000 Point
Club in 1989, was named the TACA Player
of the Year in 1989, made All Region Soccer
from 1987 to 1989, and made All State Soccer from 1987 to 1989.
Marianne Stuart Stoll '94 played tennis at
SCA, held the number one singles position,
and made All Midstate in 1994. She went on
to play tennis at the University of Evansville.
Ashleigh Ann Garman '04 played golf at
SCA. She was the Robert Trent Jones (RTJ)
Junior Golf Tour Winner in 2002, Player of
the Quarter RTJ Junior Golf Tour in 2002,
and the RTJ Junior Golf Tour Championship
second place winner in 2002 and 2003.
Garman continued to play golf at the University of Memphis in 2005 and at Belmont
University from 2006 to 2008. n

DAUGHTERS AND MOTHERS: An Athletic Legacy
like basketball, if you’re having a bad day, a
teammate may be able to take up the slack,
but in cross country, that doesn’t happen,”
said Mary. This reality is another of those
negative ponderings that Emily’s “mental
toughness” must close out.
Once the finish line passes under her feet
and the satisfaction of “reaching my goals”
is realized, Emily is able to soon let go and
begin to focus on the next race. On the other
hand, if her hard work “doesn’t pay off,” this
tough-minded young lady can likewise push
those negative memories aside and move on.
Mom says, “Bad races are never discussed at
home!”
Those endless miles of solitary running,
speed work on a nearby track, and, of
course, after-school practice with her Scarab
teammates have paid off for Emily. In her
freshman year she was Cross Country State
Champion, a Region Champion her senior
year, and State Runner-up her junior and
senior years! Her Scarab team was State
Runner-up in both her freshman and senior
years. Emily has been named to All-Metro,
All-Mid-state, and All-State teams during
these four years. She is also the winner, by
unanimous committee vote, of the Doug
Hall Relays Scholarship and the Brandt &
Mandy Snedeker Scholarship which is an
award presented by the Nashville Sports
Council.
Since cross country is a fall sport, Emily puts
her interscholastic competition craving on
the back burner until spring when she runs
on the SCA Track and Field team. She has
qualified for the State meet in the 1600 meters and 3200 meters runs each season thus
far, and was State Runner up in the 3200
meters run in her sophomore and junior
years.
And lest we forget why we are here at SCA,
Emily is an outstanding student, taking four
Advanced Placement classes as a senior.

Academy during the changing classes, will
also notice that Emily is endowed with not
just a few leadership traits, the two most
obvious being those of confidence and presence! The faculty noticed Emily’s poise her
first year as a Scarab and named her Best All
Around Freshman. This year her classmates
elected Emily President of the Class of 2014
and was also voted by her classmates with
the Senior Superlative distinction of Best AllAround. Mary is quick to say Emily’s leadership is an outgrowth of “the complete St.
Cecilia experience, with running being just
a part.” Chalk up another victory for all-girls
education, St. Cecilia style! n

Brenda Lee performed to a sold-out audience
in early December at the St. Cecilia Academy
theatre. A long-time SCA supporter, Brenda
Lee sang her classic hits, including “I’m Sorry” and “Personality,” in addition to her famed
Christmas song, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” As an unexpected treat, she also
sang a medley of songs she once declined that
other artists went on to turn into hit records.
“Brenda told me she turned down the opportunity to sing at prominent venues in town
this year. What a privilege it is that she chose
to sing at St. Cecilia Academy. She is an entertainer through and through and she gave us
a fantastic show,” said Sister Anne Catherine,
O.P. principal at St. Cecilia Academy.
Jim Crowe, co-host of the “Woody and Jim”
morning show on 107.5 The River, was the
master of ceremonies for the event. His
daughter, Juliana Crowe ’16, is a student
at St. Cecilia.
The Tennessean, writing about the concert,
said Lee “remains Christmas magic” even after all these years of performing.
“It was truly a magical evening. But more
than magic, it was really the presence of

The Jesse and Anita Harris
Scholarship Fund
When Ian Bodell retired in 2008, his
company had a tradition of donating
to the retiree’s favorite charity. Ian
chose the St. Cecilia Endowment because he believes St. Cecilia Academy provides a high quality education
to young women (his daughter, Kelly,
is a 2009 SCA graduate). He also
believes a robust endowment is the
foundation for an educational institution’s financial success. Together
with his wife, Suzanne, they created
an endowed scholarship fund. The
awards (up to $5000 per recipient,
per year) are made to an incoming
freshman from Christ the King Par-
ish School with identified and qualified financial need that would like
to attend St. Cecilia Academy and
would otherwise be unable to enroll
due to the financial commitment.
Ian and Suzanne named the fund to
honor Suzanne’s parents who had
a life-long commitment to Catholic
education.

easier for a camel to pass through

shared that wealth with us.”

Dear SCA Alumnae,
We have had some wonderful events at
SCA this fall which were well-attended by
alumnae. We had a great alumnae turnout for the SCA Ladies Tennis Tournament
held in November. Alumnae of all ages
and tennis abilities came out to support
this event. Proceeds for this tournament
will go towards resurfacing of some of the
courts. It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all.
The first weekend in December we held several alumnae
events. Namely the Alumnae Athletic Hall of Fame for a
packed crowd. It was amazing to see how much this honor
meant to the women that were recognized. Each woman talked about how St. Cecilia had shaped them into the confident
women they are today. Also, alumnae came out in droves to
attend the Brenda Lee concert. She performed to a sold-out
crowd.

Athletic Hall of Fame. From left, Mary Ellen Brown Schenk, Hall of Fame Inductee Annie Herbert Daniel, Peggy Lampley Robeson, Bolin Kane Stumb,

We are trying something new this year by starting to have
events by the decades. For example, in February we hosted an
80’s decade Art Night. Stay tuned for details of other decade
get-togethers.
This spring we have many great alumnae activities. On March
27 we had a Rosary Ceremony in the Chapel to pray for and
welcome each senior into the Alumnae Association by presenting them with a rosary. As always, we had the popular Alumnae
Easter Egg Hunt on April 12. To finish up this school year
of activities, we will host our annual Alumnae Mass and Luncheon on June 7. I hope to see you at these special events.
Blessings,

SWEET MEMORIES
Connecting with an early alumnae board president
Q & A with Sarah Case Kurek ’39
Contributor: Chenoa Jacobs, director of alumnae relations
Q: How did you become an alumna board president in 1952?
A: I want to give Emma Dalton and Agnes Eckhardt all the
credit. They were the ones who kept the alumnae luncheon going
for many years. They asked me if I would take over for them. So I
called the first meeting in the library and Sister Aloysius was our
mentor. I called the meeting to order and asked for the reading of
the minutes. Sister laughed and said, “We’ve never had minutes.” I
went out and bought everyone “Robert’s Rules of Order.”
Q: What is your favorite memory of your time as a student at
SCA?
A: There were so many. Sister Mary Luke was my favorite teacher
and she was a sculptress. There were 3-4 students in her class and
she really enjoyed it. Mount Rushmore called and wanted her to
help carve it out, but she declined. I also spent a lot of time in
the library. I painted a lot of the binding on the sides of the books

Rockin’ Around the Tree with Brenda Lee
Hopkins University. Another granddaughter, Jordan Snider, is currently a junior at
the school.
The concert was a benefit for the St. Cecilia Academy Fine Arts Campaign. SCA
is in the major gift portion of a $4 million
dollar campaign to significantly enhance
their fine arts wing with new art rooms,
gallery space, a new dance studio, and
music practice and drama rooms.
“It was this school that pushed her and
drove her to better do what she wanted
and needed to do in her life,” Lee said of
her granddaughter during the concert.
More than 500 people attended the concert, including fans from as far away as
Wisconsin and Seattle. Also in attendance
were Brenda Lee’s family and friends,
whom she acknowledged and brought on
stage to sing with her and Santa Claus.
Vince Gill, dressed as Santa Claus, surprised Brenda Lee on stage. Together with
Overbrook School students, they sang
“Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”
Lee was also joined on stage by the SCA
choir. She sat on the stage and wiped away
tears as she listened to the choir, under the
leadership of SCA choir director, Stephanie Hahn Nolan, sing “Somewhere over
the Rainbow” and “Silent Night.”
Connecting with an early
alumnae board president
Parent Jim Crowe was the master of
ceremonies for the Brenda Lee concert
held this Christmas.
“It’s friends like Brenda that makes St. Cecilia Academy the special place it is and
has been for 153 years. Her generosity and
the generosity of so many help the school
to flourish and will continue to allow it
to grow physically through the building
of the new fine arts center,” Sister Helen
Marie Glaser, O.P. ’76, chair of the Brenda Lee Concert Committee said.
After the concert, Lee greeted fans and patron sponsors at the campus White House
for a post-concert reception. Attendees
had the opportunity to meet Lee and take
a commemorative photo with her. n

when they used to do that sort of thing, along
with Sister Fidelis. Also, when I first arrived
at St. Cecilia, I was a boarder and was in 8th
grade. I arrived by train from Michigan during
the Depression in 1935. I came on St. Cecilia
Day and I thought it was so much fun because they were celebrating. Mother Reginald
told me, “We don’t do this every day.” Sister
Mary Agnes was the principal at the time.
Mother Reginald was my cousin and encouraged my parents to enroll me there. Another
memory was at Christmas time. We went out
into the community in North Nashville and
delivered food baskets. So, I believe that my
job is to pay it forward. That is something else
I learned at SCA.
Q: Did you or your classmates ever do any
fun pranks?
A: Yes! We short-sheeted beds and raided
the kitchen…I think they knew it was us.
Freshmen had to open the doors for seniors.
I took a test after 8th grade and I was able to
skip 9th grade, so some people were upset
that I didn’t have to do it. Also, only seniors
were allowed to live in the “flats,” but my
class wanted to be with everyone. So Sister
Mary Luke let us live with everyone else in
the dorms and decorate with white and pink
to make it fun.
Q: How do you stay connected with SCA
Alumnae?
A: HarpStrings magazine. It’s a dream come
true.
Q: What is the greatest lesson SCA taught
you?
A: There was so much, but I always remember Sister Mary Agnes saying, “We (St.
Cecilia) can give you facts, but the greatest
thing a school can give you is to teach you
how to think.” The important thing I learned
was how to research. n
Sarah now resides in Lexington, TN where she
lives with her two daughters and son-in-law. She
enjoyes the beauty of nature and her grandchildren.
