I met Shawn when he, his wife, and daughter relocated to my parish. To say the least, Shawn was an active parish volunteer and our families became close friends. About six years ago, Shawn was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer and needed to stop doing one of the things that he loved the most—coaching basketball. Shawn finished out the season then relayed his sad news to the team. They were heartbroken. For the next three years Shawn kept up the fight. He retired from his position as a detective for the United States Postal Service and three weeks later was put on hospice. The following week God called him home. Shawn had a positive influence on many people and inspired me to do my best while facing challenges head on. Shawn loved Disney World and the slogan “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” From him, I learned not to adjust my hopes and dreams, but to alter the steps along the way. Shawn made a big impact on me and my actions. I try my best to achieve goals and inspire others like he did. He truly stuck to his work, used creativity, and was kind. Despite his challenges and obstacles he always had a smile. Each day he woke up and carried his cross along his journey. Nothing would get him down and his actions exemplified both inspiration and leadership. Thank You Shawn for inspiring me to be the best person that I can be!

Dougherty began a scholarship for a girl from St. Agnes grade school who plans to attend a Catholic high school. Shawn served as a CYO basketball coach at St. Agnes and passed away from cancer. He loved working, being of service to others, and coaching CYO basketball!

Teti Gunard C. Travaglini Ex-Officio P eace and blessings to you as we celebrate the beautiful Advent and Christmas Seasons. I pray that each of you be blessed at this very holy time of year as we remember the birth of Jesus, our Savior. May we open our hearts to the graces He brings to us as gifts! Count on surprises, too! St. Paul, in the letter to the Colossians, tells us: “Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness.” (Col. 3:17). What great wisdom there is in taking time to pause in the midst of so many activities to thank God and to thank each other for blessings given and received. (Who remembers when we were told with the “advent” of the computer age that we would have so much more time to relax, to just “be?”) Let me begin by thanking each one of you for your ongoing relationship with Bishop Shanahan High School. You may be a graduate, a past parent, a present parent, a grandparent, relative or friend. No matter what the relationship is, by keeping in touch, you are an integral part of a wonderful community that is dedicated to providing a Catholic Education to young men and women, thus forming future Catholic leaders for our church and our world. I thank you for your spiritual, moral and financial support which permit us to partner with parents in the formation of their children in a peaceful, safe, and happy environment. We thank God every day for you. May I take this opportunity to ask you to please be generous as we make our annual appeal. “The Shanahan Fund” is a major source of financial aid for us. We use the money received through it for tuition assistance, for new, creative educational programs, and to offset the costs of our activities and sports offerings. We truly cannot do it without you and I thank you for your generosity. Our goal this year is $230,000. Thank you for helping us reach it! In this “Year of Faith” we entrust our cares to the Lord. Bishop Shanahan High School is alive and well. Our greatest desire is to continue to be able to offer our students an excellent, faith-filled education second to none. The goal of the Faith in the Future Foundation is to provide a Catholic Education to all who desire one. May this goal be realized; this dream come true. We thank the Foundation for all their efforts on behalf of our students, present and yet to come. There is so much for which to be grateful. Be sure to thank someone today! God bless you! We are always happy to see you at BSHS. May the blessings of these holy days be felt in your hearts and homes. Thank you! A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All! Sincerely yours, Sister Regina Plunkett, IHM ’64, President Sister Maureen L. McDermott, IHM, Ph.D., Principal Maureen Morin, Director of Advancement Sister Regina Plunkett, IHM ’64 Winter 2012 | Shanahan 1 W h a t ’ s Ha p p e n i n g a t S h a n a h a n Gratitude: The Key to True Happiness by Fr. Matt Guckin O ne virtue all happy people share is gratitude. Think about people you know who are happy. I PROMISE you they are grateful for what they have —regardless of what they have or don’t have. Just as Newton has his Law of Physics regarding gravity, Jesus has His Law of Happiness. And the Law of Happiness is gratitude. I always teach my students that trying to be happy is a moral obligation. That’s simply because happy people make the world a better place while unhappy people make the world worse. Consequently we have the duty to search for happiness. And happiness — that contentedness of being characterized by joy and peace —is found through gratitude. It’s a Law of Jesus because of His invitation to celebrate the Eucharist. The word Eucharist literally means “to give thanks.” We don’t simply “go to Mass.” Instead we’re called to participate in Mass by recalling the many ways God has blessed us and Fr. Matthew Guckin, Campus Minister, celebrates Mass in the Holy Land The word Eucharist literally means “to give thanks.” respond by saying “Thank You, Lord!” Do you want happiness? Do you want to make the world a better place? Think of your blessings. Think of your gifts. Go to Mass and give thanks to God for He is good and His love endures forever! n Students are grateful for their school My time at Shanahan has been the best time of my life. Jeff Mostyn ’14 Going to Shanahan is a wonderful experience because I get to practice my faith with the community, and the people here are great! Michael Davison ’14 I enjoy going to Shanahan because it is a warm and welcoming place where all of my talents are embraced. Erin McFadden ’14 2 Shanahan | Winter 2012 I enjoy Shanahan because all of the people are very nice and welcoming. Cullen Pina ’16 W h a t ’ s Ha p p e n i n g a t S h a n a h a n “Mrs. C” Honored with 2012 Shanahan Medal Service, Commitment, and Dedication I n 2002, the BSHS Administration initiated the conferring of the Shanahan Medal at Graduation. This medal is awarded to persons whose commitment, dedication, and contribution to Catholic Education deserve the recognition and gratitude of the Bishop Shanahan Community. The three words engraved on the back of the medal are: Service, Commitment, and Dedication. The honor for 2012 was to someone whose distinguished career as an outstanding music educator has spanned three decades. Throughout these years, the Bishop Shanahan High School Community has benefited greatly from her dedication and her commitment to excellence on behalf of her students. The students themselves quote her as often repeating: “I teach life through music.” The Shanahan Medal for 2012 was awarded on June 8, 2012 to Mrs. Margaret C. Campbell, affectionately known as “Marge” to her colleagues and as “Mrs. C.” to her students. Unique and gifted, she shares her talents with the Shanahan community, teaching her students that music is “of the spirit” and that they have a ministry to share. Throughout the years, Mrs. Campbell has taught Music Theory, Related Arts, conducted Mixed Chorus, Choral Ensemble, Select Choir and various other choirs as the needs arose. She has served as chairperson of the Fine Arts Department, show producer and director as well. Winning the B101 Choral Competition in 2010 and having her choir sing at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York are just some of the highlights of her career at Shanahan. For many years, Mrs. Campbell has selflessly served the Archdiocese of Philadelphia through her conducting skills and musical gifts by her participation in diocesan liturgies, concerts and special events, sharing her talents with generosity and grace whenever called upon. Mrs. Campbell is truly a woman of faith and dedication with a song in her heart! n Mrs. Margaret “Marge” Campbell receiving the Shanahan medal from Bishop Daniel Thomas. I am ever so grateful that Shanahan has afforded me the opportunity to share with my students the love, passion and personal growth—both spiritually and educationally —that can be experienced through Fine Arts education. These are all gifts from God! Marge Campbell Previous Shanahan Medal Recipients 2002 – Mr. Gerald J.

Spring of 2012 brought such an invitation. Through its ongoing cooperation with the College Board, the Office of Catholic Education was able to offer a part-time Mandarin teacher to Shanahan students. The opportunity was unique since this guest teacher from The People’s Republic of China would not only teach Mandarin but enrich the students with cultural awareness. This was a double blessing for Shanahan since one of the Middle States reaccreditation initiatives is global awareness. Students would not only have an opportunity to study, research, and listen to a speaker, but also to interact on a daily basis. The students’ reaction was most positive and students from grades 9, 10, and 11 registered for the course. Mandarin will also be offered in the 2013–2014 school year so that Mandarin II may build on the first year of study. Mrs. Haiying Liu arrived in early August and became the house guest of a Shanahan teacher. She quickly adapted to Chester County and was eager to make friends with her new colleagues. The Shanahan teachers soon found out that there were more similarities than differences teacher to teacher, but were stunned to learn that the Chinese school week is six and one half days long. With the opening of the school year it was time for Haiying to meet her students. Like the line from Jerry Maguire, she “had them at hello.” This instant connection is best expressed in the students’ own words. Freshman Anna Baffa comments, “I absolutely love Chinese class!” Another freshman, Mary Kate McCracken, supported the sentiment by stating, “Chinese is my favorite class! I look forward to learning new Chinese words every day and I think that it is so cool to speak Chinese words and phrases to my Giving thanks in Chinese 在 Shanahan 教学的近两个月,这里聪明好学的学生, 治学严谨的氛围给我留下了深刻的印象。还记得刚开学的几 天,我的学生们只用了三天就吸收了我原计划上一周的内 容。他们的热情让我感动,他们的投入让我感动,他们的求 学的欲望让我感动。在这片陌生的国家里,我很幸运能遇到 对我教学予以高度支持的校长 Sr. Maureen 以及在我遇到困 难时给予我无私帮助的朋友们。是他们的关怀让我很快适应 了异国的生活,是他们的帮助让我在教学上没有后顾之忧。 所以我由衷地感到:I am the one who is blessed. 4 Shanahan | Winter 2012 Mrs. Haiying Liu teaching with flash cards family and friends.” Sophomore Rita Shultz reflected, “I personally feel it’s amazing that I already can understand Chinese characters, when just one month ago, it looked like a form of abstract art to me.” Mutual admiration developed quickly between teacher and students. Mrs. Liu was very impressed by the caliber and dedication of her Shanahan students. Having prepared what she considered a week’s worth of material for her first full week, Mrs. Liu had to Continued on page 6 Mandarin Translation I am deeply impressed by the smart and engaged students in Shanahan over the past two months. I still remember how fast they grasp all the new knowledge of this new language. It took them only three days to finish all that had been intended to be taught in one week. I am moved by their devotion and desire to learn this language. I am lucky to meet the principal, who totally supports my teaching and I am lucky to meet all the friends around me, who offer their help whenever I am in trouble. It is their love that helps me adapt to this foreign country pretty fast and it is their selfless assistance that solves all the potential difficulty in my life and teaching. All these make me feel it from the bottom of my heart that I am the one who is blessed! — Mrs. Haiying Liu W h a t ’ s Ha p p e n i n g a t S h a n a h a n No Matter How We Say It—We’re Thankful! The Language Department Expresses Themselves in Their Respective Tongues Yo doy gracias por mis hijos, nietos y amigos. Me encanta viajar—especialmente a España y Francia. I give thanks for my children, grandchildren and friends. I love to travel — especially to Spain and France. Mrs. Mary Lou Meyer, Spanish teacher Estoy agradecido por…. Sin mi esposa (quien se graduó de Shanahan en mil novecientos sesenta y ocho), yo no estaría vivo hoy. Ella me cuidó despúes de mi cirugia a corazon abierto con bypass cuádruple. Y ahora mismo ella me cuida con mi cáncer incurable como resultado de la exposicion al “agente naranja.” En mi mente, las mejores cosas de la vida no son las cosas. Mi esposa me ha salvado la vida. I am thankful for… Without my wife (who graduated from Shanahan in 1968), I would not be alive right now. She took care of me after my open heart quadruple bypass surgery and now she takes care of me with my incurable cancer as a result of exposure to “agent orange.” In my mind, the best things in life aren’t things. My wife has saved my life. Ciao a tutti, Io avrei tante cose da ringraziare, ma quella piu’ importante e’ il miracolo della vita. Senza la mia vita non potrei godere, apprezzare, conoscere, scoprire e avere tutto quello che ho. Tutto dipende e parte dal miracolo di una vita che mi e’ stata donata. Quindi io ringrazio I miei genitori e tutti quelli che combattono e pregono per il “rispetto per la vita”. Senza una vita non avrei potuto avere I miei bambini e non avrei potuta essere qui a BSHS dove tutto e’ testimone di vita, con 1300 studenti, tanti talenti e tanto affetto. Saluti Greetings to everyone, I have many, many things to be grateful for, but the most important one is the miracle of life.” Without life, my life, I wouldn’t be able to travel, admire new places, learn new things, meet new people. Everything starts and begins with that little miracle of life. So, I thank my parents for choosing life and all those who fight, protect and pray for the “Respect Life” movement. Without life I wouldn’t have had my children and I wouldn’t have been able to be at BSHS where I am surrounded by many miracles (1,170 students), many talents and lots of love. Mrs. Rosina Natale, Italian Teacher Mr. Chuck Leahan, Spanish teacher Je suis reconnaissant de la force spirituelle et de la direction que le don du Saint-Esprit m’a apportées toute ma vie. Je suis reconnaissant à mes bons parents qui ont partagé leur foi avec moi. Je suis reconnaissante pour ma fille et beaucoup d’autres bénédictions chaque jour de ma vie. I am grateful for the spiritual strength and the direction that the gift of the Holy Spirit has brought me all my life. I am grateful to my good parents who shared their faith with me. I am thankful for my daughter and many other blessings every day of my life. Gratias ago Deo propter entem. Esse bonum est. Est perfectio omnium perfectionum, id quod facit omnia bona. Cum ortu ascendo iam ens, et non possum delinquere esse. Dixit Deus “Ego sum qui sum.” Dico “Sum Tecum. Incipiat ludus!” I give God thanks for being. Existence is good. It is the perfection of all perfections, that which makes all things good. At dawn I get up already being, and I’m not able to fail to be. God said “I AM who am.” I say “I’m with You. Game on!” Fr.

Marching Band is Grateful to Foundations The Connelly Foundation and the Nick Smiles on the Fine Arts Foundation provide funding I t has been a longstanding dream of the Shanahan Music Department to resurrect the Bishop Shanahan Marching Band which disbanded in the early ’70s. The department already has an outstanding reputation with its concert band, jazz band, string ensemble, and pep band, but a major piece was still missing. Sister Regina Plunkett, Sr. Maureen McDermott, and Music Director and Fine Arts Department Chairperson, Mr. Chuck Keating hoped to realize this dream, as did the students of the music department. In 2011, a grant proposal was made to the Connelly Foundation, who generously awarded the grant to purchase new computers, software, and instruments, including outdoor percussion instruments. The Connelly Foundation continues to be a faithful supporter of Catholic education and Bishop Shanahan High School. In 2012, the Nick Smiles on the Fine Arts Foundation generously awarded a grant to purchase 125 band uniforms. The proceeds raised from the Foundation’s 2011 and 2012 5K runs funded the grant. “Nick Smiles” was formed after Nick Mullin ’08 passed away following a four6 Shanahan | Winter 2012 performing in a parade band.

Through the technology software program, Pin Yin, students are able to learn Chinese characters. Mrs. Liu initially introduced herself to the class as “Doris” — her American name. But the Shanahan students were eager to immerse themselves in Mandarin, and learned her Chinese name was Liu Lao Shi. Unanimously, the students now echo their gratitude to the Office of Catholic Education, the College Board and the People’s Republic of China for this tremendous learning experience. Resoundingly, they stated, “Xie, xie, Liu Lao Shi” which translates, “Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Liu!” n W h a t ’ s Ha p p e n i n g a t S h a n a h a n We’re Grateful for Imaginative Artists Bishop Shanahan Art teacher, Mary Ann Thompson with her students, Ian Saboe and Victoria Burns, after receiving certificates from Pennsylvania State Representative Duane Milne at the Wharton Esherick Museum’s woodblock competition exhibit.

Her entry was made into a button which was handed out to all who attended the parade. Academic Initiatives Jesuit Virtual Learning Academy S Grateful to Be 80 Years Young Sr. Clare Maureen Graven celebrated her 80th birthday September 14th with fellow staff. She has been a valued member of the Shanahan community for 12 years. We are grateful for the gift of Sr. Clare and for all of our Sisters —Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They unselfishly devote their lives to Catholic education and our children. Bishop Shanahan is blessed to have nine IHM Sisters! Over the past four years, I have always looked up to and admired those older than me and now that I’m the oldest, I’m excited to be a good role model and inspire the underclassmen. I am grateful for choir because it gives me the perfect way to do that.” Kristin Kompa ’13 hanahan has recently obtained, through a generous grant from the Connelly Foundation, a membership in the Jesuit Virtual Learning Academy (JVLA). At this time, Bishop Shanahan is the only non-Jesuit high school being afforded this educational opportunity. This means that unique courses taught in the Jesuit tradition can now be offered to students as an online option. Some of the online courses include: AP Art History, AP Computer Science, AP Music Theory, AP Environmental Science, and Beginning Arabic. Through this virtual learning program, Shanahan can continue to grow its course selection and offer students the opportunity to take courses for which they possess a particular passion. Currently, nine students are enrolled in the JVLA. Partnership with Widener University S hanahan will partner with Widener University in the Fall, 2013 to bring an Engineering class to its growing curriculum. Shanahan students will be able to earn college credits by taking part in this program. This course will be in addition to a PreEngineering/Computer Aided Design (CAD) course which has been offered by the Mathematics Department for several years. One-On-One Initiative B egun in 2011-12 school year, the one-on-one program required that all incoming freshmen have netbook computers which are used in the classroom environment to enhance the learning experience. Freshmen enrolling for the 2013-14 school year will be required to have tablets, as Shanahan strives to stay technologically current. By Fall, 2014, the goal is for all Shanahan students to be using one-on-one technology. Winter 2012 | Shanahan 7 alumni news Blessings Along the Camino de Santiago By Laura Trusila Class of 2009 (We’re so fine.) I ’ve heard it said that you are blessed if you can look back on your life and recognize the moments where your life changed, and you are even more blessed if you have the wisdom to see those life changes while they are happening. My mom, in her motherly wisdom, saw it, but I didn’t. “Your trip is going to be life changing,” she said. I didn’t quite believe her. Sure, spending most of July 2012 hiking 200 miles across Spain would have to change me somehow, but I had no clue as to how much. I was thinking of the Camino as a hike, not as its true purpose, a pilgrimage. Saint James the Greater was so on fire with the faith after seeing his best friend die and rise again, that he needed to tell anyone and everyone all about Jesus. The Camino de Santiago, also called “The Way of Saint James,” is a pilgrimage throughout Spain that follows the footsteps of Jesus’ apostle as he evangelized. For over a thousand years, pilgrims have been making their ways to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where Saint James the Greater is buried. After seeing the movie The Way, I had wanted to walk the Camino alone. I did a lot of research and blog-reading to know that English is a common second language in Spain, so the fact that I didn’t remember much past “hola” after years of Spanish at Shanahan didn’t worry me. It worried my mom though. She wanted me to find a group of Americans to go with. I went to Spain with FOCUS, Fellowship of Catholic University Students. The ten people in the group turned out to be the reason that blisters, heat, language barriers, more blisters, and hostels were blessings. They were the most joyous people I had ever met. Much to the surprise of fellow travelers, the eleven of us became best friends within a few minutes of meeting because we had the deepest possible connection. God was at the center of our lives and thus, He was also at the center of our friendship. Our authentic joy radiated and attracted 8 Shanahan | Winter 2012 Laura Trusila (far left) with fellow pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. others. We met two atheists along the way who kept asking about and discovering more Truth each time we walked with them. One of my favorite memories took place in the lobby of a hostel. We were praying our daily Rosary aloud, with a new leader jumping in each new decade. On the fifth Joyful Mystery, an unfamiliar voice started the Our Father. He had heard us praying and quietly joined us. It was such a beautiful surprise to hear him lead us in prayer and know he took a few moments out of his day to praise God because of our example. We arrived in Santiago on July 24th, the eve of Saint James’ feast day. Our hostel had been reserved months beforehand, but something went wrong. Turns out our reservations had us leaving the day we actually arrived. As the celebrations for Saint James’ feast day are bigger than our Independence Day, the entire city was booked solid with pilgrims. We resolved to camp out. But God is good. As if He hadn’t proven that enough times in my life so far, He came through for us again that day. As the eleven of us sat down to lunch, a lady came up to us asking if we needed a place to stay. She and her mother ran an apartment-style hostel just a block away from the Cathedral. Her hostel had two beds to a room instead of fifty bunk beds in a huge room. By God’s providence, she still had five rooms left and even gave them to us at a discounted rate since it was so late. I didn’t see it until it was time to say our goodbyes that God had used my ten fellow pilgrims to change my life. He was there as they patiently taught me to view my sufferings as blessings. Aching feet meant that I had feet to walk on. A bathroom was a blessing and one with toilet paper was a luxury. A heavy backpack reminded me that buying useless stuff is weighing me down. I didn’t realize all the prayer, all the time spent in silence with God, all the answered faith questions, and all the laughter we shared would combine to change my heart. After a month spent without my phone or computer, I came home with a better understanding of God’s precious gift of time that I should be using for His glory, and not to idle my life away procrastinating. I’ve noticed that I have grown in patience and genuine love for others. I now catch myself before I open my mouth to complain. I have a long way to go, but I can say with certainty that the Camino was God’s gift to me that pointed my life straight toward Him. ¡Buen Camino! n alumni news Grateful for a Warm Shanahan Welcome Home August 2012 Email from Daniel Glass ’07 T hank you so much for welcoming Beth and I with open arms yesterday! The man I am today is not the boy I was back in high school, so to return to my alma mater after five years and be warmly welcomed and treated so well was a true blessing! I will be heading out to Wau, South Sudan on Sunday with the Salesian Lay Missioners (SLM) program. From what I have heard, I will be working on a project that aims to give homeless children the chance at an education and life they otherwise would miss out on. My personal mission is to love. If I can make just one kid smile, I will call my time there a success! You were talking about the school’s mission to increase global awareness and I would love to contribute what I can to that. I feel that awareness of not only international work, but serving fellow man and recognizing Christ in every human life needs to be a crucial part of a student’s life in high school. Peace and Love, Daniel Glass Update – Thanksgiving 2012 All is well in Wau! Teaching and working with the children is going great! I teach a few sections of English and Math to older students who are studying for a vocational trade (such as auto mechanics, masonry, carpentry etc.). In addition to these students, I teach a handful of street children who are taking classes at the VTC (I teach math and English for them as well).

By Kate Conway ’05 and Dave Grady ’05 (pictured above) D ave and I met our freshman year at Shanahan. We were originally scheduled to have all eight of our classes together. However, after switching math classes, we were left with six periods together. So, we saw each other quite a bit during the day. Ironically, we really hit it off in Chemistry. I sat at the lab table in front of Dave and turned around to talk to him any opportunity I was provided. A few days after that first school year ended, I knew I wanted to see him again. I invited a few of our friends over to hang out, go to the local pool and come back to my house for some pizza. We hung out for the next three days. We went to movies, got ice cream, and played basketball together. On the fifth day, he asked me out… on AOL instant messenger. I said yes. Ten years later, he asked me to marry him and again, I said yes! Our time at Shanahan were wonderful foundational years in our relationship. We were inseparable. We shared a locker, walked to classes, ran on the track team and participated in the bowling league. We had many of our classes together. One of our fondest memories is the Halloween costume contest. We spent weeks brainstorming what our costume would be. Dave had a great idea—we could dress up as the men’s and women’s bathroom signs. We worked on them in his basement: measuring, drawing, and painting. We won cutest couple in both the Halloween contest and overall! My parents Frank ’79 and Beth Simasek Conway ’80 also went to Shanahan and started dating early in high school. They went on to 10 Shanahan | Winter 2012 date through college and got married soon after graduating. They had four children, three who attended Shanahan. When Dave and I started thinking about our engagement photos, we both agreed that taking them at Shanahan would be perfect. It is where we met and where we fell in love. We contacted Mrs. Morin about getting into the school and she worked with us to make it happen. We are so appreciative. Chris Anderson ’05, Dave’s best friend, best man, fellow Shanahan grad, and a photographer for Artistic Difference, took our photos for us. Dave and I couldn’t be happier and we can’t wait to spend our lives together! n Mom and Dad (Beth Simasek Conway ’80 and Frank Conway ’79) at prom and now Silver Medal Winner G erhart L.

Who would I become? What friends will I make? What teachers will I have and how will they impact me? These, along with hundreds (at least it seemed like hundreds) of questions ran through my mind. Little did I know that my life at BSHS formed me into the successful, independent, faith-filled, adventurous woman I am today. September 2012, ten years after walking through the Shanahan front doors for the first time, I roam through the halls on the “other side.” Memories flood through my soul and flashbacks overtake my mind each step I take through this glorious school. Who knew I would be coming back as a faculty member at my Alma Mater? God always has a way to surprise me. In the summer of 2011, He led me to Montenegro, Peru for a few weeks to seek his needy children. The IHM Sisters have a beautiful mission in Peru and the school I worked closely with is called Fe y Alegria No. 37. I taught English to the high school children and I fell completely in love and I knew I would have to return and bring others to share this indescribable discovery. In July of 2012, I returned with a group of friends and these children stole an even larger chunk of my heart and taught me an inspiring lesson. The children live in extreme poverty, yet, they thirst for education and beg not to leave this safe haven they call school. I had a profound moment while teaching this summer and started to tear up. I realized how lucky I was to have grown up the way that I did. I went to SS. Simon and Jude School, Bishop Shanahan High School, and Immaculata University, all excellent educational institutions. I stood before these children and realized that most will never have the opportunity for University education, yet, they do not care. They are so thankful for the education they have and they take advantage of anything that is offered. As simple as that may sound, it struck a nerve inside of me that I cannot let go. Last year, money was collected during a charity day at BSHS and the money was donated to Fe y Alegria. With this money, Sr. Barbara Burnett, the principal, was able to build a new library and stock the shelves with brand new books. The new library was named “The Bishop Shanahan Library.” Over the last few weeks, as I walk the halls of Bishop Shanahan as a teacher, I realize how lucky I am to be back at BSHS. I have never been more thankful to Our Lord, for the gift of a great education that includes the beauty of our Faith. The Holy Spirit is all over this place and God is at hand. He is working wonders and opening the hearts of thousands of the youth that roam through these halls, whether they realize it or not. He builds us into courageous beings that are able to ask Him of His love, seek His love and knock on the door of His heart. Thank you Lord, for challenging me to “Seek the things that are found above.” n Winter 2012 | Shanahan 11 alumni news Save the date for: The Shanahan Rugby Alumni Scholarship B&B Celebrating the 20th Year of Shanahan Rugby Saturday, January 5, 2013, 7pm –10pm SS.

Winter 2012 | Shanahan 13 advancement Generosity for Years to Come … it is in giving that we receive … By Leo Parsons ’78, Chair of the BSHS Advisory Board A s many of you know, our BSHS Advisory Board has been very focused on raising our Endowment Fund from $10,000 in 2006 to over $1,000,000. I am happy to report that we are making tremendous progress through our FACES campaign and our annual Endowment Golf Outing and, as of September 2012, these efforts have resulted in over $973,000 in Endowment dollars! We are confident that through your continued support and the work of our Board, we will surpass our $1M goal this year and with Sister Regina and Sister Maureen’s prayers, we expect to hit our goal by Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, we have often heard that “…it is in giving that we receive…” In helping with our FACES Endowment Fund campaign, I have had the opportunity to talk with people about our mission at Shanahan and the need that exists right here in our beautiful county. Every year, families are impacted by loss of jobs, health issues or lack of earning potential and cannot afford to send their children to Shanahan. Worse yet, some are forced to pull their child from Shanahan and find a lower cost alternative. Over the past few years volunteering, I received the gift of getting to know Oscar and Vivian Lasko more closely. They are a local, West Chester family of Jewish faith who just this year made a major contribution to our FACES campaign. Oscar Lasko, a successful entrepreneur and businessman, helped his father grow and develop Lasko Products, a global consumer products business, and learned the value of integrity, honesty, trust and loyalty. He supports Catholic education and the development of children with Christian values because of the relationships he has formed with Catholics throughout his life here in West Chester. Some of those relationships include employees and suppliers of Lasko Products.

Plunkett Golf Outing scores perfect record 6 in a Row! W e truly have been blessed! Our 6th Annual Endowment Fund Golf Outing, held on Tuesday, September 11th was everything we had prayed for and more. Thanks to all of our very generous supporters, the Endowment Fund, created for tuition assistance for students who desire but cannot afford a quality Catholic Education, has benefited once again! This year’s golf outing raised over $62,000. The day would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our Golf Committee: John Morrissey (Chair), Leo Parsons, Jack Enoches, Brendan Kelly, Leslie Kelso, Carol Loffredo, Glenn Marshall, Courtney Mulvey Lofgren, Rich Miller, Mike Parker, Rose Pera, Kevin Quinn, Rob Reynolds, Larry Skahan, Diane Ward, Sr. Regina Plunkett, Sr. Maureen McDermott, Maureen Morin, and Deb LaPorta. This year’s $10,000 raffle winner was Joe Skahan. Thank you so much for all of your support! Lisa and Bill Boland, Laurie Davis, and Gary Gilligan enjoy the Golf Outing! Annual Report 2011–2012 | Shanahan 37 Auction ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ is Shanahan’s 25th Auction & Restaurant Fair Thank you for your loyal support! O ver the past 25 years, Shanahan parents have journeyed from the Serengeti to the Eiffel Tower. They have been in gardens and forests and on the red carpet. They have traveled from medieval times to the 1950s. They have gone to the seashore and now to the ball game. These are just a few of the various auction themes we’ve enjoyed over the past 25 years. What began as a group of parents wanting to give back to Bishop Shanahan with their time, talent, and treasure has grown into our major annual fundraiser by parents for our students. It takes months and countless volunteers to prepare for each event. But the effort is well rewarded as the front lobby and gym area are magically transformed by decorators’ imaginations. Hundreds of items arrived for both the silent and live auctions. The monies raised go directly towards helping our Shanahan students. In addition to the auction, many local eating establishments supply their “fare” for the Restaurant Fair portion of the evening. It’s a great way to taste a wide variety of dishes all arranged under one roof!

T hanks to the generosity of over 1,000 Shanahan Fund donors, the 2011–2012 Shanahan Fund shattered our previous year’s total and exceeded our longstanding goal of $225,000 — we received $226,319 by June 30, 2012! Thank you seems SO small for such great generosity! The administration, faculty, staff, and students of Bishop Shanahan would like to thank our faithful supporters who responded to our “call to action.” You are remembered daily in our prayers. Last year, four archdiocesan high schools came close to closing their doors forever, but thousands of donors stepped forward to insure the future of these schools. We in the Shanahan community cannot be complacent —we must continue to promote and preserve our mission here to spread the Word of God through education. How can you do that? By supporting the Shanahan Fund! Our goal for the 2012-2013 year is $230,000. Let’s continue to strive to make Shanahan the best it can be! May God bless you for your goodness.
