Mission Statement
St. Teresa’s Academy is committed to the education of young women. We are a Catholic, independent, college
preparatory high school sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. The Academy is rooted in Christian
values and embraces a diverse student body. We promote excellence in education through a challenging
curriculum, personal responsibility, participation in extracurricular activities and an expectation of success.
N
ine years ago, I returned to Kansas City after having spent two decades as a teacher and administrator in Iowa. I will forever remember my STA
“sisters” who were the first to welcome me back. With open arms and gracious smiles, they allowed me to re-enter their lives as if I had never been gone.
I am so thankful for their friendship today.
The STA sisterhood I experienced and continue to cherish is alive and strong among our students and alums as well. I wish I could put my fi nger on it. Tell you
exactly what creates these bonds over the four years they share at the Academy, but I find it a bit elusive. Maybe sisterhood begins with our founders, the Sisters
of St. Joseph of Carondelet. United in life by common goals and causes, the Sisters have modeled unity as a means to heal social injustices and to find joy in life’s
simple pleasures. Or possibly it’s our all-girls environment where a culture of support and acceptance is created from the first day they arrive to the last day of graduation.
Whatever its root cause, I can tell you one thing for certain. The sisterhood of St. Teresa’s Academy is unique and so very special. It holds no geographic boundaries or length of
time. It’s infectious among those both young and old. And it certainly doesn’t exist in all schools. For so many of our students and alums, sisterhood has become a gift of love and
support, strength and laughter, all forged over life’s great joys and challenges. I hope you enjoy the stories to follow. Th ank you, alums, for sending them to us.
♥ Nan Tiehen Bone, President
“I don’t think
there are women
on this planet
that make me
laugh as hard,
or make me
feel as supported
and loved,
as my STA sisters do.”
A
s we pass through our four years at St. Teresa’s, we experience sisterhood in
different ways. We are first greeted by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet,
their bonds of sisterhood formed through their love for the teachings of Christ
and for educating young women. We soon discover our own sisterhood. Our deep bond
takes shape on the first day of orientation, and as it turns out, lasts well past the four
years we spend on the campus at STA.
We support each other through youthful joys and sorrows: first crushes, first dances,
first break ups, acceptance into colleges, family crises. The bonds of friendship
grow over the four years, maybe helped by proximity, but once we leave the halls of
Donnelly, Goppert, and M&A, we choose to keep replenishing these bonds. And we
are still supporting each other through all that life offers us to this day.
I am proud and feel blessed to say that I am still very close with so many of my STA
sisters. Even if I haven’t talked to or seen a classmate for years, when I do, it’s an
immediate pick-up-where-we-left-off experience. And the laughter, oh the laughter!
When my classmates get together, a good time is guaranteed. I don’t think there are
women on this planet that make me laugh as hard, or make me feel as supported and
loved, as my STA sisters do.
The sisterhood that exists with our class, and all STA alums, is so strong and so deep.
Sadly, we have seen our share of loss – two of our brightest lights are missing whenever
we reunite. We have held each other as we mourn the loss of fathers, mothers, sisters,
and brothers. But this is why these bonds are so important; they lift us up in happy
and sad times. No matter where life has taken us, this sisterhood is someplace we can
always return for support and love.

Recently, ten members of our class were able to schedule a dinner to honor and celebrate the 40th birthdays of our dearly
departed sisters, Lara Phelps and Eileen Teahan. It was a poignant night, but a celebratory one, just as our Lara and Eileen
would have wanted it. Although, they may have insisted on some dancing.

times. I am so thankful to have them in my life. And we sure have a lot of fun when we are together!"

Sisterhood
“Our STA
sisters/friends
all feel
they can share
what’s happening
in their lives.”
F
ollowing our 50th class reunion, many of us felt that if anything had come out
of our reunion experience it was that we loved getting together! We really didn’t
want to wait another five or ten years to see each other, so we decided that we
would pick a time/day of the week and a place to meet, and have anyone just show up.
No organization, no need to call, just come!
We have been gathering at Panera or someone’s home on Tuesday mornings for the
past six and a half years. It’s a casual gathering and we come as we are...in sweats
because we have just been walking or dressed for a fancy lunch later. Our STA
friends/sisters all feel they can share what’s happening in their lives which is then an
opportunity at times to ask for prayers, get some sympathy and support (we all need
it sometimes), discuss current topics and get new ideas, talk about the latest book or
movie, or hear the funniest stories ever. Tuesday morning has truly become a cherished
part of our week!

Sisterhood 5
“The Academy
is more
than a building,
it is a community
of sisters
who genuinely
love and support
each other.”
6 Sisterhood
I
left St. Teresa’s after freshman orientation with three immediate friends, and in
May I will leave with six hundred and three. We are all friends here. The Academy
is so much more than a school, it is a home. This is a place where all people are
accepted and loved for who they are. We are one big family, made up of different
backgrounds, races, and personalities that fit perfectly together. St. Teresa of Avila
told us, “In this house, all must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear,
all must be helped.” In this sisterhood, I have been embraced by young women who
embody these characteristics and strive to live them out. I cannot thank God enough
for blessing me with the opportunity to be a member of the Academy.
The thought of leaving St. Teresa’s brings tears to my eyes every time. The hardest day
of high school will be the day when I have to say goodbye to my classmates, teachers,
and friends. I am dreading the tearful goodbyes that are only four months away, but I
know that even though I will no longer be physically encircled by my sisters, they will
always be in my heart. As I step into the next chapter of my life, I will see them in every
smile, every box of pizza, and every cherished friend. I will see them in every laugh,
every Chris Cake, and every much needed hug. The Academy is more than a building,
it is a community of sisters who genuinely love and support each other. We are stars,
and even though I may not always see them, I know they will never disappear...
♥ Emma Allen, Class of 2014
Excerpt from Academy Woman nominee essay
Students and faculty recently learned that two of their own—the school’s principal for student affairs and a fellow
student—had been diagnosed with cancer and would lose their hair. As a way to honor them and all individuals affected by
cancer, STA students gathered together in the gym as 127 of them cut off their hair and donated it to an organiziation who
makes free, real-hair wigs for cancer patients. It was an incrediblely emotional event and true Girl Power in action!

"I love these girls
and they make
my life better..
they make
me better."
W
here do I start with these girls? They are my life, my loves, and my life
long friends! We’ve known each other for a very long time which, in
turn, means we’ve been through the tough teen years and have learned
to become women together. We got each other through STA (good and bad) and
boyfriends (good and bad). We all went our separate ways for college and yet
our friendships survived. We’ve been at each others’ sides through engagements,
weddings and now babies! We may not talk daily or even for months at a time;
however, the bonds we’ve made with each other will allow us to never skip a beat
and pick up like we’re physically together every day. I love these girls and they
make my life better...they make me better. For this I thank them and I thank STA
for the relationships it allowed me to make with them.

Inspiring Women 11
Class of 1967
S
ophomore year at STA, Patty Alshouse Cross,
Mary Fitzgerald, and Mary Jo Giblin Saviano,
started what has become a life-long friendship
through many trials and many more joyous times.
Through weddings, births, deaths, major illnesses,
and retirement plans, we’ve kept up with one another
over the many years. One of our most treasured
traditions is our fall trip. Patty moved to Kansas
City with her family from Minnesota. She married
after college and ending up living in Texas. Because
she dearly missed the annual fall colors we love so
much in the Midwest, we established our yearly “fall
trip.” Every October, we plan a trip somewhere that
regales us with the color of the season. Fall 2013 was
our 23rd year and we continue to plan ahead for our
reunions. We are truly STA sisters!

Class of 2007
Class of 1980
F
from 1976-1980, fourteen girls developed a
connection that still exits today. We shared
classes, boyfriends, parties, sledding, TP-ing,
football games, dances, and vacations. We saw each
other in good times and bad, and still chose each other.
D
uring the holiday season, alums from the
Class of 2007 got together to catch up,
share memories, and laugh together. We’ve
stayed friends through colleges near and far, moves
across the country and across the ocean, new jobs,
and new loves. This coming September, we will be
reunited again as bridesmaids standing proudly by
Mary Nulton’s side as she ties the knot! We’re so glad
that St. Teresa’s brought us together and look forward
to many years of friendship to come!
♥ Kelly Nelson
At each and every stage, you could always count on
these girls getting together to support each other, serve a
funeral meal, pray for whatever was the need at the time,
share a glass of wine to mull things over, and basically
laugh our buns off at our lives. When life changes occur,
whether its tips on potty training, how to handle our
teenagers or our relationships, these are the women we
turn to for support or laughter.
I believe it was the bond forged through those gates on
57th Street, where we learned each others’ strengths and
weaknesses, gifts and failures, priorities, faith, and sense
of humor. We learned in high school how to be there for
one another and that we matter deeply to each other. We
know each other. There’s nothing to hide. Our secrets
are known by these women! And what better comfort;
they still love us! One thing that is sure: the next chapter
involves each other and more laughter and tears. I can’t
wait…

O
ur friendship formed freshman year at STA. We all had different
connections to one another—grade school, sports, drill team, classes,
car pools. Our friendships morphed and strengthened throughout our
four years at STA, and have continued to do so over the nearly 20 years since
our graduation. During high school we were inseparable. While we have lived
in different cities, states and continents since graduation, in all but geography,
inseparable we remain. We’d like to think we’ve matured, and in many ways
we have. However, our spouses will tell you of the teenage laughter, squeals and
stories they endure each time we are together. Our triumphs and tragedies have
changed since high school, but what remains constant is our love and support
of each other. While we have endured more of both than we felt we deserved or
could tolerate at times, our friendships help make the victories sweeter and the
defeat bearable. While we do not see each other as often as we would like, once
together we immediately connect as though no time has passed. We are forever
friends, forever sisters, forever grateful for one another and to STA for bringing
us together.

ver the years, life threw us its curves and we began praying for one
another, then for family and friends, and eventually requests came from
outside our circle. Turns out, we’ve become a pretty powerful prayer
group or so we’ve been told! We have been together for many years. We support
one another in tough times, operations, illness, and death, and celebrate the good
times, grandchildren, retirement, and travel. I think we’d all agree that our STA
friendships are among the most important in our lives. They nourish us, sustain
us, and make us laugh.

Class of 1979
W
e call ourselves the Circle of Friends, a
close knit group of five women from the
Class of 1979. It is a name that originated
from a Christian rock song of the same name that
perfectly describes the tight bonds of friendship. We
were not a “group” in high school but had occasional
social outings in common. It was nearly 15 years after
graduation that we really started to solidify our true
connectedness as a group.
We have nurtured these friendships in many ways. In
each other, we have found unconditional acceptance and
love and trust that builds over years. Together, we have
woven a tapestry that weaves together our individual
stories with our shared memories.
"Thank you St. Teresa’s
for the foundation
upon which these
bonds formed.
It was at the Academy
that we were introduced
to the amazing possibilities
of the bonds women
are capable of forming."
Over time, we’ve learned how much relying on one
another enhances our lives and our ability to negotiate
life’s sometimes tumultuous terrain. None of us feel
alone. That is a gift. In a world where people don’t
always take time to nurture relationships, we know we
are blessed.
Thank you St. Teresa’s for the foundation upon which
these bonds formed. It was at the Academy that we
were introduced to the amazing possibilities of the
bonds women are capable of forming. They do, indeed,
enhance our lives. And God smiles. Because through
Him, we celebrate each other.

Planned Giving
A Simple and Powerful Way to Support STA
W
hile it is often perceived as complicated,
planned giving can be very simple and
straight forward. Here are three ways you can support
STA through planned giving:
1. Bequest: This is a gift in any dollar amount
that you provide in your will. Consult your
attorney, but sample language in your will
could be as simple as:
“I give, devise and bequeath to St. Teresa’s
Academy, 5600 Main St., Kansas City, Missouri
64113, (dollar amount or percentage of estate)
for its general use and purposes (or for a purpose
as specified).”
2. Beneficiary: Name St. Teresa’s as the full or
partial beneficiary of a retirement plan, IRA or
life insurance policy.
3. Stock: Another convenient way to support
STA is through a gift of stock. This can be a
current outright gift, or provided through a
bequest in your will.
Planned giving can support both your charitable and
financial objectives. Above all, we want to make it
easy for you. Please contact us for assistance.

Teresa of Avila Society
The Teresa of Avila Society recognizes and celebrates those who include St. Teresa’s
Academy in their estate plan. Your planned gift creates a legacy that will carry on
St. Teresa’s mission of excellence in Catholic education for generations to come.
If you have named St. Teresa’s in your estate planning, please let us know so we may
recognize your generosity.

Class of 1967
"...Most of us then
journeyed on to STA
where our friendships
and caring
continued
for four years.
And now,
47 years later,
we are all
still in contact...
Our STA women
are pretty special! "
L
ittle did I know that almost 50 years later I would still have the same
close friendships that we had in high school. Our friendships have
continued through college, marriages, births, deaths, happiness, sadness,
kids, and now grandkids. We get together every month for dinner and never
run out of things to talk about. Some of the best laughs of my life have been
shared at this dinner. It’s not only about the good times. It is knowing we are
there for each other in all times.

"When I made
the choice
to spend
my time
with these girls,
I made
the choice to
create the
best friendships
I will ever have."
I
t was like God was putting together a puzzle for me
and I never saw the entire picture until I became an
adult. When I made the choice to spend my time
with these girls, I made the choice to create the best
friendships I will ever have. Our time together in these
past twenty-two years has been filled with so many ups
and downs, but our friendship has lasted the test of
time. When we are together, we can only be our true
selves because it is what we’ve always known of each
other. It only gets better as time goes on, and I can
thank St. Teresa’s for showing me the priceless gift of
sisterhood.

M
y memories of STA only grow fonder as I age. At the time, of course,
it didn’t occur to me that the friendships I had made would last a
lifetime. I’m proud to say that my closest friends are the ones I made
while at STA. Most of them were fellow Stars, a few from surrounding schools,
but the bond we made remains unbroken. Some of our 1986 class of phenomenal
women have moved away, but many of us remain connected and banter with the
best of them through digital social channels. My closest friends are all still near
me geographically, and it brings me great joy to know that I can count on them
no matter what. They’ve cared for me during struggles, they’ve celebrated with me,
and I can count on them for anything. I, too, have had the honor of watching them
blossom, develop their careers, become mothers, active community members, and
I’m proud to have them as part of my life. I cannot imagine my life without them.

even girls from four catholic grade schools became friends for
life at St. Teresa’s Academy. Some of our memories stray outside
the criteria for the Academy Girl: arranging our “new” modular
scheduling for free time together (for sunbathing nearby while discussing
long dresses for the next dance); cafeteria fun (with a few pie fights and an
apology to our entire class); secret sessions in the sick room inside D111;
pranks in the library; boys (and boys streaking across campus – “Girls, get
away from the windows!”); weekends taking turns borrowing a parent’s car
and older friends’ IDs; and a lot of sleepovers (without much sleep).
Despite all above efforts to the contrary, as well as dire predictions by
worried counselors, we must have assimilated enough education to start
in our diverse career paths. We’re still active in each other’s lives, through
weddings, babies, birthdays, vacations together, and struggles, too. Our
annual time together at the lake transforms us into teenagers as we laugh,
catch-up and retell old stories while indulging in adult beverages.
y friends and
I loved our
time at STA.
Many of us have stayed
friends after graduating in
2006 and spreading across
the country for college.
We try to get together
whenever we are home
for holidays, whether it’s
dinner, drinks, or simply
stopping by each other’s
family homes to say hello!
The shared stories of our
time at STA bring a lot of
smiles and laughs.
2006
2015 will be the 40th anniversary of our graduation from St. Teresa’s
Academy. I doubt any of us could have imagined we would still be
together, supporting and enjoying each other as much as ever, all these
decades later.

Class of 1969
being there
for each other...
we are
ever lasting friends."
W
e were all coming home for Christmas vacations from our various
universities and were excited to see each other. We gathered for our
first fondue party at Louanne’s parents’ home. Six giddy college
girls devoured the Andre’s fondue and desserts and emptied eleven bottles of wine!
We didn’t realize we were beginning a lifelong tradition in which all of us looked
forward to.
Each year we got together and celebrated with stories from school, boyfriends,
and future jobs. The conversations shifted [based on our life stage], but our
friendships were always most important to us. The bonds we made in elementary
and high school have lasted through 40 years of never missed fondue parties every
Christmas. It is the highlight of our holiday. Just the girls. There is lots of laughter,
love, stories, memories, appreciation, and now maybe wisdom.

Track and Field
The McDonnell Family Sports Complex is the result of an innovative partnership between
St. Teresa’s Academy and UMKC. The new track and field promotes the health and
wellness of all STA students and enhances the school’s athletic programs.
Donations are still needed to fund this project. Please consider a gift or pledge, or sponsor
a personalized star on the fence surrounding the complex.

T
hrough email, the three of us stay
connected. Each knows we can reach out
to one another for prayer and a pick me
up. Each time I’m in Kansas City, it’s just the three
of us at dinner. We all look forward to a glass of
wine, a great meal, and, of course, remembering the
good times, a time we cherish and hold dear. Would
I change anything? Only one: that we could have
started this sisterhood sooner.

Class of 2005
’ve been living in Valparaiso, Chile, for the past
five years. During this time, I’ve been visited by
many STA alums, some staying a day or two, a
week or two, or even months at a time. It’s been great
to have so many fun visitors from high school, and I
love being able to host all of the Stars that come my way!
Katie Alley, ’05, visited me for a week while she
was traveling around Latin America. Eli Medina,
’05, came on a whim and stayed for three months
before traveling around Latin America with her
sister, Kathleen, ’07, who also stayed for a few weeks,
making that summer one of the most fun I’ve ever
had here. Suzanne Russel, ’05, and her Ausie husband,
made a quick pass through town on their way to
Patagonia. Alex Persely, ’04, came for a wonderfully
long weekend. Kate Cofran, ’05, is currently staying
with me, mostly to improve her Spanish. And finally,
Katie Kelly, ’05, visited, too.

A
few more months and it will be a year since we graduated
from possibly one of the best places on earth. We are all,
without a doubt, so grateful for the Academy and the
sisterhood it fostered in our class. This was especially evident as we
celebrated our dear Becca’s life. I look at her prayer card every day
now and say St. Teresa of Avila’s words that are written on the back.
Becca, we love you, sweet girl.
"Peace. Love. Stars. Chocolate.
Waldo Pizza. Sister Joan."
