In Memoriam
Sr. Susan O’Halloran, CND
This years annual Fund
“Sr. Susan O’Halloran
was always so kind and
caring. She had one of
the brightest smiles I
can ever remember. As
Principal of NDA she
was a gifted leader and
was truly dedicated to
all of her young students. I will always
remember her.”
report is dedicated to sr. susan
o’Halloran, Cnd, who died december 25, 2008. sr. o’Halloran
was principal of notre dame
academy elementary school
Lori J. (Mazzola) Zanelli
from 1968 to 1982. While 14
years have passed since she
served at nda, she is remembered fondly
for her kindness, her graciousness and her
leadership.
1967 was the first year that the elementary
school had a separate principal, and in 1968
sr. o’Halloran began her reign. it was a time
of remarkable growth and change. Just two
of the many interesting initiatives that
marked her twenty-four years as principal
were the annual festivity in honor of st.
Francis which included a menagerie of pets
from parakeets to ponies for the blessing of
the animals, and the strong support for the
“Working with Sr. Susan was the
best experience of my working life.
She was a joy to be with. Her door
was open to anyone who needed
her. What I remember most was the
wonderful relationship she developed with the parents. Working at
Notre Dame became part of my life,
and my husband’s life as well.”
Rosina Pallada
Elementary Secretary. 1969-1985
“I remember Sr. Susan’s
warm smile and infectious laugh. One memory which I think
illustrates exactly who
she was as an educator
and leader was her
distribution of report
cards. Sr. Susan would
come to our classroom
and of course we were a
little nervous when our
names were called in
front of the whole class.
But somehow Sr. Susan
managed to calm our
anxieties with just a
smile and a nice word
that was always personalized for each student.
Everyone had great respect for her. You knew
you could talk to her
because she was so kind
and caring.
Fathers
guild which
eventually
started the
now famous
Family day.
sr. o’Halloran lived
fully the belief stated by Tracy O’Donnell Murray
saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, “teaching is the work
most suited to draw down the graces of
god if it is done with purity of intention,
without distinction between the poor and
rich, between relatives and friends and
strangers, between the pretty and the plain,
the gentle and the grumblers...”, and she inspired her teachers to believe the same.
Mission Statement
In the tradition of the Congregation of Notre Dame, the mission of Notre
Dame Academy is to advance, embody and excel at liberating education, an
education which leads each girl and young woman to become an agent of
her own transformation and of the transformation of society.
Belief Statement
As a Catholic community founded
on the transforming mission of
St. Marguerite Bourgeoys and dedicated
exclusively to the education of girls:
We believe that each girl is a true original
filled with a divine light which
only she can radiate to the world.
We believe each girl is on a spiritual journey
maturing from a child of God to a young woman
of the Gospel.
We believe in academic excellence
which is innovative and cutting-edge moving
continuously from good to great.
We believe in cultivating leadership in each girl
which is defined by integrity, imagination and the
courage to stand up for her own rights and
needs and the rights and needs of others.
We believe in being a welcoming,
inclusive community which embraces all members
of our local, national and global families
with justice and compassion.

A Message From The President
dear Friends,
ew! at’s the word that comes to mind as i think about introducing this report. new! everything seems
N
so new here at notre dame academy although it has been a long enduring institution for 105 years now. But
so much has changed. is fact is a vibrant indicator of the evolving life of nda; a life that you parents,
alumnae, friends and supporters have made possible.
i came to notre dame in september 2008, just as the school year was beginning. e early Childhood
Center was completed and four classes of beautiful little girls came squealing into their gorgeous, practical,
comfortable new building. e 8th grade classrooms had been totally refurbished and so they too were truly
excited about their new place. ere was a lovely walkway around a huge hole in the ground on the High
school side of the campus. e new Chapel/dining Hall/arts and Humanities building was underway. all of
the grades were full and the campus was bustling with activity. i wondered how all of this could be happening.
in october a new Mission advancement team came on board, Jackie, Michael and Pauline. We have been
busy discovering what keeps this big enterprise called notre dame academy afloat. We learned that there
were two major streams of funding, e Capital Campaign and the annual Fund. e Capital Campaign
money is used specifically for the new construction, endowments or restricted programs. e annual Fund
money is exclusively for the yearly operation of the academy. at money bridges the gap between actual
expenses and money raised by tuition and fees. For some reason, the report was not done last year, so we
had to do a great deal of research to put together a comprehensive report. each of us was new to the situation and so this took us a little longer than we had hoped.
In the tradition of the Congregation of Notre Dame, the mission of Notre Dame Academy is to advance,
embody, and excel at liberating education, an education which leads each girl and young woman to become
an agent of her own transformation and the transformation of society.
Without the generous support of the families, alumnae and friends of nda, even our very dedicated staff
could not make that mission statement a reality.
so as i begin my term as President i want to first express my gratitude to a staff that challenges our girls
and young women to excellence every day. and then, to all of you who have contributed financially to our
continued pursuit of a liberating education for so many, i extend a profoundly heartfelt tHanK YoU.
i am committed to maintaining/creating a climate of excellence that will assure you that you have invested
wisely. i hope to broaden our global awareness by focusing the attention of the entire school community
on ecology at the Heart of the Christian Message. and above all i look forward to restoring our chapel as
literally the center of the campus and figuratively as the center of all our endeavors.
in the spirit of st. Marguerite Bourgeoys, i thank you.
Prayerfully,
sr. Patricia Corley, Cnd

“If it is the will of God, I shall want for nothing.”
The aim of Campus Ministry at NDA
Father Carlos Urbina
anksgiving Liturgy
is to work closely with the adult and student populations to infuse and integrate
both Gospel values and the charism of
the Congregation of Notre Dame into all
aspects of NDA life, and to bring our
Mission of transformation alive through:
a variety of Prayer Experiences, Retreats
at each grade level, and regular involvement in Christian Service.
In the spirit of Marguerite Bourgeoys,
foundress of the founding sisters of
NDA, and of Our Lady, we strive to live
with others in an open spirit of “visitation”: receptive to God moving within us,
and generously sharing the joy of God’s
gis with each other. It is in this spirit
that we discover God, welcome God in
those around us, and celebrate in Joy the
power of God living among us! Mary
said in scripture, “My soul proclaims
Your greatness, O my God, and my spirit
rejoices in You.” Like Mary with the
apostles, we nurture community, and
welcome the movement of the Spirit to
help us to “transform society”.
