If I, therefore, the master
and teacher, have washed
your feet, you ought to
wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model
to follow, so that as I have
done for you, you should
also do.

A Letter from the President
W
hat opportunities are we
offered in our lives to
serve others? In these
pages we recount modern-day
vignettes mirroring the washing
of the disciples’ feet. Here we
can be renewed by reading the
ways we have lifted one another
up, as a teacher does for her
student or a donor does for her
benefactor. Most especially, we
are lifted up by the stories of our
students, young women coming
to understand how to be positive
influences in their world, able to
effect change, to lead by serving.
In our work to fulfill the school’s
mission, we nurture our students
to understand as fully as they
can what it takes to lead changes
that will last. Critical thinking,
experiential learning, and
education for the whole student—
her intellect, her creativity, her
spiritual self—give young women
the opportunity to test themselves,
know themselves and surprise
themselves as they go beyond
being able to identify changes
that need to be made to actually
taking action.
Whether they experience six weeks
in Ghana building a school as
senior Rosemary Hua did, or take
the main stage at the Ignatian
family teach-in and peaceful
protest of the School of Americas/
Western Hemisphere Institute for
Security Cooperation in Georgia
as Emily Harrington did to share
her experiences in El Salvador
from last summer, or lead the
student body right here on
campus as ASB President Jennifer
Padilla does, they are learning
about leading in our global village.
They can become women like
alumna and Women of Impact
honoree Ann “Rooney” Blach
’56, who has, in the words of her
children, ended up leading every
effort she has become involved
in, all in the name of supporting
Catholic education. Or women
like our other Women of Impact
honoree, Undersecretary of
Education Martha Kanter, who
has devoted her life to educating
young people.
Ours is a tradition of goodness,
excellence, justice and yes,
leadership. This year we celebrate
the leadership our women have
offered this community for 159
years and now share in the world
beyond it. We are grateful for the
understanding and appreciation
that has grown in Silicon Valley
for the environment we have
created at Notre Dame—an
environment where young women
learn to foster hope by what they
do and the choices they make.
Students choosing a Notre Dame
education have chosen to be
challenged. Perhaps unconsciously,
they have chosen to define
themselves as leaders, women
who seek to serve, rather than be
served. For those of you who have
acted in this past year in service
to our students, I express my
gratitude for your leadership.
Your generosity has insured
that 104 families received over
$650,000 in financial aid. It
meant that, once again, not a
single student left our community
during the year because of
changing circumstances in her
family’s financial situation. It
meant that we could bring our
students to El Salvador and enrich
our Facing History and Ourselves
curriculum. We were able to
expand our server capacity thanks
to a generous gift from Cisco,
and open new business offices in
recently renovated space through
the generosity of the Swenson
and Current families, parents and
grandparents of Hannah Current
’08. Your leadership allowed Notre
Dame to maintain our financial
aid support in trying times, grow
the alumnae parent group (ND)²,
and introduce our signature
Women of Impact event to a sellout audience.
We nurture
our students
to understand
as fully as they
can what it
takes to lead
changes that
will last.
Thank you for standing with us
in these challenging times and
for expressing your faith in the
hopeful moments before us. We
needed you and you served us, and
in doing so, you led.
Ora et Labora,
Ann Skeet
President

Women’s Leadership—Ghana
An Uncomfortable Challenge

home with an
uncomfortable
challenge: how
does one embrace
her own freedom
and potential to
soar knowing that
her ‘sisters’ suffer?

by Mary Beth Riley, Principal
W
hen Rosemary Hua began
high school in the fall
of 2006, she, like all Notre
Dame students, was immersed
in a program influenced by
the Notre Dame Hallmarks.
Hallmarks that embrace
concepts of justice, peace,
service, diversity, dignity,
sacredness, community and
God’s goodness permeate the
learning here. In her junior year,
when Rosemary applied for and
received an international study
award provided by a generous
supporter of our programs, she
prepared to spend six weeks in
Ghana, learning and working in
a small village.
Besides her clothes, supplies
and well wishes of family and
friends, what else did Rosemary
have packed and ready for her
journey? From her 9th grade
Women’s Place Project in her
Religious Studies class, she
knew of the contribution and
strength of women across
the ages and from her junior
year U.S. History class, she
understood the dangerous
outcomes of discrimination in a
nation. From her journal entries
that follow, she shares how
those two concepts collided for
her in Ghana.
Rosemary returned home with
an uncomfortable challenge:
how does one embrace her own
freedom and potential to soar
knowing that her ‘sisters’
suffer? It is a challenge that
Rosemary is up to facing. She
has spent time in 9th grade
Global Studies classes and 11th
grade Peace and Justice classes,
sharing her experiences and
uncomfortable challenge. She
is looking at her future with
a deepened perspective on
justice and what her personal
contribution will be.
We educate for and act on
behalf of justice and peace in
the world. Rosemary helps
us strengthen this important
hallmark in our NDSJ
community.
Rosemary’s Journal Entry
Smack. He slaps her face, but decides he is not satisfied. He walks over to the dead grass, grabs a
large branch, and comes running at my host family sister to beat her head. My sister is silent, tears
streaming down her face. Her face strains to conceal feelings of anger and frustration, but I can hear
the thoughts running through her head. I want to protect her, free her, and keep her forever safe.
But then I remember I’m in Africa. I have been here for almost 20 days now, to build a kindergarten for my village here in Assin
Kumasi. I am witnessing the physical abuse of my thirteen-year-old host family sister by a chief of
the village. He is a tall, lanky, retired principal with a full white beard. Upon his arrival, he turns his
attention to my sister instead of me. He questions her about why she is not in school. My sister is a
very shy girl and does not speak, even when someone is speaking to her.
One day in school, my sister blankly stared at her teacher, who had just asked the same question
for the third time. The teacher openly reprimanded my sister, calling her retarded and stupid in front
of the entire class of about fifty-five students. My host family, humiliated, quickly pulled her out of
school. My sister has not sat in a classroom since the incident six years ago. Smack. My attention snaps back to the present, and the principal is at it again. He slowly raises
the club over his head for the fifth time, and when it comes down, I jump in front of my sister,
burying her head into my chest to protect her.
Free. I kicked the soccer ball to the nearest little boy across the field. Screaming with excitement,
a group of young African boys chased after the ball, and a loud cheer erupted when I regained
control of the ball, turned, and scored a goal. We all threw our hands out in the air and ran around
each other in circles, like a flock of birds flying without restraint in the bright sky. I turned and saw
Rebecca, my friend from the village who wasn't allowed to play soccer because she was a girl. She
ran to me with open arms. I ran towards her, catching her powerful hug with my warm embrace. In
front of my flushed, rosy face, she looked deeply into my eyes, giggled, and said, Ama Ago, wo ani
gye. Wo ani gye paa, which roughly translates to, Rosemary. You are free. You are so, so free.

A
By Leslie Arioto, Alumnae Relations
common thread exists in Notre
Dame alumnae and current
students, whether it’s the class of
1940 or 2013. That connection is
service and leadership. Over half
a century ago, Ann “Rooney”
Pfaff Blach (class of 1956) began
her commitment to the Notre
Dame community by serving her
classmates in a variety of ASB
positions. “My life has two parts,
a ‘then’ and a ‘now’,” says Rooney.
“All the volunteer work I’ve done
can be divided into these two
parts: ‘then’ as a student at Notre
Dame and ‘now’ what I have been
able to do since graduating from
Notre Dame.”
Then: Rooney held many
positions in student leadership and
volunteered many hours of her
time while at Notre Dame. She
served as freshman class president,
student body treasurer and vice
president, just to name a few.
“I wanted to do the right thing.
I wanted to stand out. I wanted to
impact the lives of my classmates
and work for the good of the
community and for each girl in
it.” For Rooney, that philosophy
still exists today.
Following her education at the
University of Oregon, Rooney
met and married Michael Blach,
Sr., a Bellarmine grad. Mike was
one of twelve children and paid
his own tuition at Bellarmine;
Rooney herself was from a family
of eight. She and Mike had four
children and in 1970 started Blach
Construction in Santa Clara.
Now: “After Mike and I were
married, we both continued to
volunteer in our community,
because you should always
be building, changing and
strengthening your community,”
explains Rooney. In 1989, Mike
passed away at the age of 50.
In Mike’s honor, on the day
following his funeral, fifteen
family members and friends
played golf, the game he loved
so much. Following the game
someone passed the hat and
collected $300. That was the start
of an educational legacy that
continues to this day through
the Blach Family Foundation’s
“Banana Ball” Golf Tournament.
The Blach Family Foundation
was established to fund Catholic
education for young people.
Rooney and Mike knew the value
of a Catholic education and the
struggle it can sometimes be to
make tuition payments. Over
the past 20 years, the “Banana
Ball” Tournaments have raised
over $300,000 to help students
with tuition costs at Notre Dame,
Bellarmine and Sacred Heart
Nativity schools. “I like to think
of it in terms of the number of
students we are able to help each
year,” says Rooney.
Rooney’s belief is, “When the
community has been good
to you, you need to be good
to the community. I want
students to take advantage of
the opportunities available
to them in the world, and I
believe that service, leadership
and commitment to our local
community is the beginning.
My hope is that students will
benefit from the exceptional Notre
Dame learning environment
and someday give back in a
meaningful way. Because this is
what we do. We lift it up each
morning. At night, we sleep. We
let tomorrow’s sorrows
and joys take care of
themselves. We do this.
This is who we are. Who
we, the Notre Dame
alumnae, will always be.”
Rooney was honored
at the Notre Dame
Women of Impact
event in October for her
service, leadership and
commitment to Notre
Dame and the community at
large.

Women’s Leadership—Senior Service Learning
Impacting Her Community
T
he mission of the Notre Dame Senior
Service Learning Project (SSLP) is
to combine a student’s interests and
talents into a project that will have an
impact on her community. Through
this process, students gain experience in
social activism and grow in leadership
skills. It is conducted under the auspices
of the Notre Dame Community Service
Learning Program, an integrated program
that combines skill-building, social justice
and personal responsibility. Students walk
away at the completion of the project
with a better understanding of both local
and global issues, the need for individual
involvement, and the processes for
implementing solutions.
The SSLP students develop a project
portfolio describing their work. At the
culmination of the project, they share their
project design and portfolio in a public
venue that requires students to utilize their
oral and written presentation skills. The
result is a real-world event that demonstrates
the student’s ability to conduct research,
manage a project from start to finish and
communicate the significance of their
project to the greater community.
I wanted to give the children at Sacred
Heart the opportunity to participate in
hands-on activities that would get them
excited about math and science. From my
own experience in middle school I know
that when schools are facing budget cuts
the first things to get cut are the hands-on
activities that are so key to keeping students
interested in learning.
The wall-to-wall presentation of student
projects in St. Julie Billiart Hall is a
profound statement about the power of
individual involvement. Adults from
the Notre Dame community and the
greater downtown community engage
the students in dialogue about their work
and in reflection about the value of their
contribution.
Every day I had a different activity that
connected to a lesson that I wanted the
kids to learn in math or science. Each week
had a different theme, some of which were
picked by the students themselves. The kids
showed their enthusiasm when they
would come running up to me at the start
of call to find out what we would be doing
each day.
“It is amazing to see the girls’
confidence soar as they
realize that they can make a difference in moving towards
a more just world.”
I taught my kids that they can make a lot
of cool projects with simple materials that
they probably have at home. But more
importantly I hope that they learned that
science can be fun and that learning in
general can be fun. And, I have learned
how to keep a group of rambunctious kids
under control, how to make lesson plans
and how to change those plans on the spot.

Community Service Learning

Volleyball Camp for Girls
Through the development and management
of a summer volleyball camp for 4th through
9th grade girls, I learned how to be more of
a leader. It was a challenge to manage and
organize a group of girls and have them
focus on a specific task. Managing my
coaches (my friends and fellow volleyball
players) was another challenge.
It was wonderful to see the reciprocal
relationship between the girls and the
coaches. The older girls really enjoyed
being role models to the younger girls and
the younger girls really looked up to the
older girls. It was also amazing to see the
improvement in the younger girl’s skills.
It made me proud to see that sense of
accomplishment. I loved when I heard the
girls talking about how much fun they had
at the end of the camp. It felt good to know
that they enjoyed all of the things that I
had spent so much time planning.
The money that I raised at the camp went to
an agency that does research on Parkinson’s
disease – The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
This is an issue that is close to my heart
because my grandma was diagnosed with
Parkinson’s disease a few years ago. At the
end of the camp, I gave the girls packets
of information about the Michael J. Fox
Foundation. The girls understood the
importance of the issue and one girl in
particular asked a question that showed
me that my project really was making a
difference.

Kiran Palla
Environmental Education Program in Pakistan
I taught a group of children in the
neighborhood of Dhoraji in Karachi,
Pakistan about environmental sciences
and the impact that each person has on
the environment. Through hands on
activities and group discussions, we studied
global warming and the greenhouse
effect, alternate sources of energy, waste
management, and ways to reuse, reduce,
and recycle at home.
By teaching the basics of environmental
science, I gave the children a chance to
fully understand the impact that they
leave on the environment. They can truly
comprehend how connected our world is
and how delicate the environment is. With
this knowledge they can make their own
decisions on how they want to live their
lives and what they want to leave behind.
The children’s questions were enlightening.
They truly showed how much they had
learned through their words and their
actions.
Perhaps the best moment of all was when
one of my students got up to go throw away
his trash. He started towards the window
to throw it out on the street, paused, then
turned back and threw it in the trash can.
This is only a small step in the change
that needs to come in Pakistan, and in
developing countries all over the world, but
it is satisfying to know that the work that I
put in has had an effect on the lives of others.
Jadey Gonzalez
Music and Literacy Program at the MLK Library
My project, Music in My Hands, showed
me the importance of connecting with
students in the classroom. Getting to know
my students and their love for music made
me even more excited to go to class every
week and make music together. In the end, I
learned that it’s important for a leader to not
only be passionate about what she is doing,
but to also create relationships with the
people she works with. That’s what we were
made to do anyway – to be in relationship
with others and help each other grow.
In my elementary school music classes,
I discovered my love for singing and
performing. Due to budget cuts, the
programs I enjoyed have been eliminated.
My project addressed the need to bring
music back into the kid's hands. In the first
half of each class, I talked to my students
about the music genre and instrument of
the day and then invited them to make the
day’s instrument. After this, we sang songs
together and used our new instruments
to create the music. Making instruments
together and using them literally put the
music in their hands.
Music in My Hands was the first time I felt
like a true leader because I was the engine
behind it all – in planning, creating, and
implementing my project, and therefore,
making the changes I wanted to see
happen. Thus, I took the music in my
heart and in my hands, shared it with my
community, and hoped to bring music back
into kids’ hands.

Women’s Leadership—Learning from History
Facing History and Ourselves
What began as a co-taught tenth
grade English class two years
ago has expanded to include the
entire Notre Dame tenth grade
history, English and religious
studies classes. “We saw a natural
fit between the tenth grade World
History required curriculum
that included the Holocaust and
the literature we were reading in
English. And as a Catholic high
school our tenth grade religion
course ‘Moral Decision Making’
also had a direct connection to
the Holocaust,” said Charlotte
Carlson.
N
Adam Cintz meeting with
students after sharing his
story of survival in a Nazi
concentration camp
otre Dame’s current tenth
grade English, History and
Religious Studies integrated
program was sparked by the
interest of Jan Tupaj-Farthing,
Notre Dame Vice Principal for
Academic Affairs, and Charlotte
Carlson, English department
chairperson, after participating in
a summer institute with “Facing
History and Ourselves.” Facing
History and Ourselves is an
international program that invites
teachers to create classroom
environments that encourage
opportunities for dialogue and
reflection about tolerance and
justice. Using history, literature,
and firsthand accounts of the
Holocaust, students explore the
causes of destructive human
behavior and analyze the effects of
that behavior on society.
“I feel I have gained
more courage to
speak up if I think
something is wrong.”
—Sophomore

Developing a quality curriculum
is no easy undertaking. The
faculty involved in the program
made a commitment to
participate in the summer Facing
History Institute; to revise their
course goals and objectives; and
to develop a year-long timeline
of activities and intersections to
help students make important
curricular connections. Their work
required reading new material and
re-thinking how to use familiar
pieces.
The tenth grade school year
begins with an orientation to the
integrated curriculum, creatively
christened “Complicate Your
Thinking.” While the girls are
not sure where this sophomore
journey will take them, they
soon learn that they will be
thinking about what they learn
in a new and different way. The
faculty commitment continues
throughout the year because the
only way the integration can
sustain itself is through regular
meeting and dialogue between
and among the teachers involved.
What is clear by the end of the
year is that this experience of
thinking and seeing differently
helps students to develop a
deeper understanding of the
historic events, the people, and
the individual and group choices
that are made. Students are
able to grasp how easy it is for
history and human behavior to be
repeated and, more importantly,
how future choices can be made
to effect positive outcomes.
For the last two years Notre
Dame has been blessed to have
Holocaust survivors come to
speak to the tenth grade classes
and to bear witness to the events
of history. Their firsthand stories
help to personalize for the
students the horrors of this period
of history and the unbelievable
strength and courage that was
necessary to survive. In the nottoo-distant future, survivors of
the Holocaust will no longer be
with us. As they interact with
our students, the girls realize the
importance of bearing witness for
future generations who will not
have the opportunity to meet a
survivor.
Inspired by our mission and the
tradition of social justice, Notre
Dame is currently working to
expand the cross curricular
concepts into the eleventh grade
with an integration of U.S.
History, American Literature and
“Peace and Social Justice” religious
studies courses. Common themes
to be explored will focus on
issues of race and membership in
American society.

accounts and

Women’s Leadership—Sisters of Notre Dame
The Spirit and Charism of St. Julie
is Very Much Alive
S
r. Carol Shoup, SND can
be found in the Notre
Dame library every afternoon
helping students with research
and homework, assisting in the
Community Service Learning
office, and substituting in classes.
“It has been a pleasure getting to
know the faculty, staff and the
amazing young women,” Sr.
Carol says.
Before coming to Notre Dame, Sr.
Carol taught high school theology
for several years while living in
and facilitating a small retreat
center in western Massachusetts.
Not a stranger to California,
she earned a master’s degree
in spirituality at Holy Names
University some years prior. When
transition time came along she
looked at possibilities for ministry
that carried the charism of the
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
“It was a ‘homing’ inclination that
led me to a Notre Dame learning
community,” she says. She had
been given a copy of the Learning
Community Hallmarks by one of
the Sisters of Notre Dame de
Namur in Massachusetts and
that led to an exploration of
possibilities in California.
Sr. Carol was informed that at
Notre Dame High School in San
Jose, the spirit of St. Julie Billiart
and Françoise Blin de Bourdon,
the founders of the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Namur, was very
much alive. With a strong focus
on justice and peace this school
seemed to be where “it was all
happening.”
As she opened the front door on
her first day at Notre Dame, Sr.
Carol approached a group of girls
and teasingly asked, “Does anyone
know who Julie Billiart is? I’m
looking for her.” She was delighted
when all the girls answered “Yes!”
and started telling her everything
they knew about Julie and
Françoise. Sr. Carol said, “It was
like St. Julie and Françoise were
still alive and were two of their
best friends.”
The charism, or gift, offered
by the Sisters of Notre Dame
de Namur is a witness to the
goodness of God where they live
and minister. This is seen in a
commitment to relationships and
education for life. Sr. Carol sees
what’s happening at the school as
quite wonderful, especially for the
elder Sisters, to see the founding
spirit of the Sisters alive and active
in the young women of Notre
Dame. “They have been and will
be the carriers of the goodness of
our Good God into the future,
helping to make this a just and
more peaceful world,” said Sr. Carol.

Notre Dame History
door to her former life of privilege.
Though Françoise eschewed
material goods for herself, her
inheritance funded the opening of
a free school for poor girls. Their
work with the children, including
some orphans, was a great success
and they attracted many young
women to join them.
B
orn in 1751 in Cuvilly,
France, Julie Billiart was the
very spiritual child of a poor
shopkeeper. At age 22 Julie lost
the use of her legs. With her body
failing her, she turned to God
as the source for her comfort
and spent hours in prayer and
meditation. Many came to her for
counsel and comfort, including
Françoise Blin de Bourdon, an
aristocrat's daughter.
France had entered a period of
political and social upheaval.
The French Revolution saw the
imprisonment and beheading of
aristocrats and many of those in
religious life. Churches closed.
Schools closed. In 1804, churches
reopened and the message of
the Gospel could once again be
preached. In June of that same
year, Julie was healed from the
paralysis that had plagued her for
22 years.
On February 2, 1804, Julie and
Françoise professed vows of
poverty, chastity, and obedience
as Sisters of Notre Dame. For
Françoise this meant closing the
The Sisters came to California in
1851 at the invitation of the Most
Reverend Joseph Alemany, O.P.,
Archbishop of San Francisco, to
establish a school in San Jose, then
the state capitol. The location on
Santa Clara Street for the new
Notre Dame College (day school,
boarding school, high school and
college) was chosen at the advice
of the Jesuit Fathers who had
recently opened a school for boys
(Bellarmine) at nearby Mission
Santa Clara. Notre Dame opened
on August 4, 1851.
In 1923, because of changes in
the city and expansion of the
educational work of the Sisters,
the College of Notre Dame
was transferred to the Ralston
estate in Belmont on the San
Francisco Peninsula. The high
school continued on the Santa
Clara Street site until 1928,
when it was moved to its present
location at Second and Reed
Streets. The nucleus of the new
site was the spacious home which
the Honorable and Mrs. Myles
P. O'Connor had given to the
Sisters in 1898. Notre Dame High
School San Jose has been at its
present location for 82 years and
in downtown San Jose for 159
years.

donor reception on March 12,
2009 in Julie Billiart Hall. The
hall was filled with family, friends,
fellow Notre Dame supporters
and 165 Woman’s Place Projects,
a collection of 165 original table
settings designed and created by
the freshman class. The settings
honor women who have made
a significant contribution to
humankind by their lives, values,
and achievements.
Each student creates a place setting
and writes a toast in honor of the
woman she selected. Mary Ellen
and Arnold were presented with an
original Notre Dame place setting
and a toast in their honor.
A T O A S T to Mary Ellen Nolan ’53 Bruni and Arnold Bruni:
We propose a toast to you, Mary Ellen and Arnold Bruni. We honor the two
of you for your continuous support of Notre Dame High School.
Our toast begins with Arnold’s sister who in the fall of 1951 asked her brother
to drop her off at Notre Dame. It was at that drop-off that Arnold Bruni first
spotted Mary Ellen Nolan on the steps of the O’Connor mansion in her “ free
dress” bright orange skirt and navy cashmere cardigan.
That was the start of two young people who became a couple, raised a
wonderful family and have always believed in giving back to the community.
Mary Ellen, we honor you for your invaluable insight and advice while
serving on the Notre Dame Board of Directors, the Development Committee,
and the Alumnae Board.
Arnold, we honor you for the support you have shown with your many
contributions through your business, Exchange Linen Service.
Mary Ellen and Arnold, we honor both of you for your conviction that
“education is the fundamental building-block in instilling self-esteem in
students and preparing them for a successful life.”
“Arnold and I both believe education
is the fundamental building-block in
instilling self-esteem in students and
preparing them for a successful life.”
— Mary Ellen Nolan ’53 Bruni

Kayleigh Laymon, Julie Plungy, Sanusha Bijj, Megan

You have inspired others by supporting Notre Dame financially and by
volunteering for causes that benefit the entire school community. Your actions
are an example for current students who will look back on their time at Notre
Dame and, like you, will show their thanks to the Sisters of Notre Dame and
their teachers by “Paying It Forward.” You have been a shining example of
what a couple dedicated to Catholic education can do.
For this, we want to thank you!

“Without
reservation,
I can say
that my four years at Notre
Dame have prepared me
not only to meet, but to
apprehend and master the
challenges of university life.
From guiding me on how to
manage my time effectively,
to empowering me to assert
my voice confidently and
capitalize on the resources
and opportunities available
to me, Notre Dame
consummately equipped
me with the tools, the
insight, and the courage to
pursue success and thrive
in even the most rigorous of
educational environments.
Most importantly, however,
ND taught me how to think.
It is this process of
constructing, understanding,
articulating, amplifying my
thoughts and ideas, that is
the most cherished gift of
my ND experience.”

Giving to Notre Dame
Ways to Give to
Notre Dame
There are many options available
to you to support Notre Dame’s
legacy of providing an outstanding
education for young women.
Pledges or gifts of outright cash
or appreciated securities are the
most common ways you can
participate. In consultation with
your financial advisor, you may
also consider life income gifts
that include naming Notre Dame
High School in your will, or with
life income plans or naming a gift
to the endowment.
1851 Legacy Society
The 1851 Legacy Society
recognizes those individuals who
have named Notre Dame High
School with a bequest in their
will, or with life income gifts
or named endowment funds.
Lifetime Giving
You can support Notre Dame by
making a bequest in your will or
estate plans. These include gifts
of real estate, cash, securities or
closely held stock, and outright
cash gifts. You can also make
a sizable contribution to Notre
Dame now to help meet our
current needs without reducing
the estate you will pass to
your family by purchasing life
insurance, naming Notre Dame
as beneficiary.
Endowment Giving
Tribute Gifts
When you contribute to Notre
Dame’s endowment, you help
secure its future. Your gift to our
endowment is carefully invested
and managed for growth. The
restricted principal is preserved
in perpetuity and the interest
earnings are used to provide
scholarships or to support
programs, depending upon your
wishes. You may establish a named
fund or contribute to an existing
endowment for scholarships
or programs.
What better way to remember a
family member or friend than by
making a gift to Notre Dame in
their honor or memory? You will
receive an acknowledgement for
your gift and a note will be sent
to the family of those you have
remembered.
Annual Giving
The Annual Giving campaign
is our yearly appeal to parents,
alumnae and friends for
consideration of an unrestricted
gift to Notre Dame San Jose that
will help make up the difference
between tuition income and what
it costs to operate the school on a
daily basis.
Meeting our objectives for annual
giving allows us to maintain a
balanced operating budget while
also making regular investments
in our overall facilities, academic
programs, technology and
co-curricular programs.
Special Events
Notre Dame hosts three major
fundraising events annually: a
golf tournament, a crab fest and a
gala auction. Your underwriting,
sponsorship and attendance
at these events raises funds
for tuition assistance and the
operating budget.
For More Information
If you would like information or
have questions about any of the
giving opportunities listed above,
please contact Anna Quinones in
the Advancement Department at
408-294-1113 ext. 2158 or
[email protected].
Your gifts to Notre Dame High
School are tax deductible as
allowed by law.
Matching Gifts
If your company has a matching
gift program for its employees,
you can double your gift with a
corporate match. Check with your
Human Resources office to see if
your or your spouse’s employer
offers a matching gift program
or contact the Notre Dame
Advancement office.
We have carefully reviewed the names of donors listed in this report. If your name has been
