Around her grassy mount, our Alma Mater seesThe valleys low, the woods beyond, the hill of willow treesThe grotto’s ivied arch known to the singing breeze.Mount Aviat, Mount Aviat, we sing of you today.

You’ve taught us how to live, in study, work, and play,Receiving from the hands of God the happenings of each day.Now may we form one heart, united may we stay.Mount Aviat, Mount Aviat, we sing of you today.

With voices filled with joy, we sing of our school days,Of hopes, and dreams, and memories,our Alma Mater’s praise.Her kind Salesian care hasopened wisdom’s ways.Mount Aviat, Mount Aviat,we sing of you today.

From the PrinciPal’s Desk:

As I reflect on this past school year, I feel a profound gratefulness for God’s blessings on Mount Aviat

Academy. It still feels so wonderful to share that Mount Aviat Academy is a 2014 Blue Ribbon School of Excellence! I know our staff and our students will always remember this school year with fondness, too. Their response to receiving this recognition is also

something I’m especially proud of—staff planned and students supported through their own contributions a morning of service to give back to the community. While academic excellence is important, we are also learning to live Jesus and “be who we are and be that well.”

It is not just the achievements that I am grateful for but also the people. Those individuals who make up the Mount Aviat community love and care for our school in truly remarkable ways. I’d like to pay special recognition to two longtime volunteers. First, I’d like to thank Mr. Harry Hammond, who has served as the Chair on the Board of Trustees and was the vision behind the Aviat Foundation to ensure Mount Aviat’s future, just to name a few of his accomplishments. Second, I’d like to thank Mr. Larry Ertle, who established our Athletic Association and touched hundreds of students’ lives through his very successful volleyball program. In April, Mr. Hammond received the St. John Bosco Diocesan Award for Outstanding Contributions to Youth in Catholic school and Mr. Ertle received the Companions on the Journey National Award for

Outstanding Contributions in Youth Ministry. You both will long be remembered at Mount Aviat and we thank you for your years of service. We cannot thank our volunteers enough for their contributions to Mount Aviat.

Have a safe and happy summer, and we look forward to another wonderful school year in the Fall!

Yours in Christ,

Sister John Elizabeth Callaghan, OSFS

Mount Aviat Academy took a journey 150 years into the future through the National Engineers Week Future City Competition. Students

explored the engineering process, city planning, and project timelines as they designed a city of the future capable of feeding itself through innovative agricultural processes. The project involved several competition elements including a virtual city, city narrative and research essay, city model and team presentation. Beginning in September the team of fourteen 6th, 7th and 8th graders, along with Engineering Mentor Mr. Jeff Landis and moderator Mrs. Hanby, learned that the engineering process is all about planning and teamwork. Students were challenged by this year’s topic: Feeding Future Cities.

The Team gathered after school and researched, imagined, designed and modeled a way to grow a protein and a vegetable within the city limits that would feed a city of more than 75,000 residents. They developed aquaculture for indoor and outdoor shrimp farming and vertical farms for quinoa. They calculated and graphed the amount of protein needed per person, developed an elaborate filtration and irrigation system and modified the quinoa plants to adapt them to a vertical farm. The research essay then had to effectively communicate all this information in less than 1000 words. Who knew engineers had to be able to write?

More than 100 hours were spent in the SimCity program designing a virtual city. Students planned a city by

zones, provided all basic services, made trade-offs between industry and environment, educated and entertained the Sims while balancing the budget and keeping the taxes low. The city had to grow, thrive and renew itself. Points were lost if traffic was gridlocked, safety was compromised, services were outsourced, the mayor was impeached or the Sims were angry with their city conditions. Talk about pressure!

A model of Aquacopia, as our city was named, was constructed from recycled materials. The budget for the model and presentation materials was $100. The model had moving parts, was built to scale, incorporated important elements of the theme and showed proper use of zoning and city planning. It took all hands on deck to get the model ready on time and under budget!

The competition day was exciting, tense and “the best day ever” according to our students at the Philadelphia Regional competition. Students responded to questions from groups of judges and were amazing at thinking on their feet. Three students gave our formal marketing presentation before a panel of nine judges. The whole team had a great time transporting the model, which was not designed to be transported, through the halls for the presentation. Engineering on the fly and duct tape saved the day! In the end they finished well above the average and took home two special awards. The team is looking forward to next year when they will take on the challenge of managing solid waste in the future.

maa laUnches First girls on the rUn Program in cecil coUnty

Mount Aviat had the opportunity to start a Girls on the Run (GOTR) program during this past Spring. Not only was this a first for MAA,

but this was the first GOTR team in Cecil and Harford Counties. GOTR is a physical, activity-based positive youth development program that inspires third through eighth grade girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Each lesson is structured in the following way: Circle time, stretch and strengthening exercises, warm-up, workout and processing and wrap-up. Each lesson ends with an energy award (ask a GOTR to show you BANANAS!). The vision of GOTR is a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. The lessons touched on letting your star shine, positive self-talk, dealing with emotions, healthy habits, gratitude, real beauty, taking a BrThRR, courage, putting an end to gossip, what makes a good friend and our Star Power. The curriculum also requires the girls to develop and implement a community impact project. The “finish line” of the program is running a 5K.

The GOTR team was coached by Kimberly Strohmeier and Stephanie Skinner and consisted of 13 girls from third through fifth grade. The team met twice a week for 10 weeks after school. Their community impact project was a bake sale where they were able to raise $200 for A Buddy for Life, a local animal shelter in Elkton. The girls all crossed the finish line in the Bel Air Town Run on June 7th. The team would like to thank Norma Locke for laying the groundwork to start this program here at MAA. We look forward to many more GOTR teams in the future!

The Mount Aviat Academy 5K and Sister Walk celebrated its 5th year on Sunday, April 26, 2015. It was a beautiful, chilly spring morning with sunny

skies. Almost 200 runners came to complete the hilly 3.1-mile course in Manchester Park and surrounding areas. The runners ranged in ages from 3 to 76 and the course was marked and hand timed by Fuel 3 Sports. The overall male winner was Patrick Smith with a time of 19:47, and the overall female winner was Caitlin Pierce, Class of 2001, with a time of 26:04. As overall winner, Patrick received a $25.00 gift card from the Olive Garden of Elkton for all of his hard work. Our principal, Sister John Elizabeth, placed 3rd in her age bracket with a time of 41:03.

This event would not have been a success without the support of our sponsors. We would like to thank the following organizations for their contributions: Family Healthcare of Elkton; McCool Insurance; Dr. Elizabeth Lowe, M.D.; Formal Affairs; Premier Auto and Tire; DiPietro and Grace Families; Newark Dental Associates; and ATI Physical Therapy. We also would like to thank Knights of Columbus Bishop Becker Council No. 2427, Olive Garden, Costco, W.L. Gore, Bagelmania, Mr. and Mrs. Donald LaPointe, Unique Image, and Road ID for their donation of food or supplies. Their donations kept our runners well hydrated during the race and supplied the goodies afterward. Bib winners Gregory Kerek and Holly Wokcik were lucky and won Gore-Tex running jackets. Finally, we would like to thank our next-door neighbors, the Moose Lodge of Elkton, for allowing us the use of their parking lot for our finish line, and to the Cecil County Sheriff Department for their police presence during the race. All participants had a fabulous time and we look forward to another successful event next year. Because of the support we have received at the 5K as well as proceeds from the Auction, and a grant, we are excited to announce that we will be able to add a new walking path around the playground!

In the Winter season, the Mount Aviat Athletic Association sponsored six basketball teams to participate in the Diocesan athletic league. This year,

the Diocese added Pre-JV leagues to support 3rd and 4th grade students, and MAA had two teams for that league. A 3rd and 4th grade co-ed team, led by Chris Locke and Bill Stegemerten, displayed their enthusiasm for learning the fundamentals of the game in a great inaugural season. In addition, a Pre-JV 4th grade boys team, coached by Dan Black, Nicole Greenplate, and Monica Trout, was fun to watch as they competed. The 5th grade boys team continued their development under the watchful eye of coaches Jackie Hartman and Monica Trout. This group of players continues to demonstrate strong teamwork balanced by individual skill development.

Led by John Spych and assisted by Pat Kelsch and Scott Willman, the 6th grade boys came together to demonstrate exactly how athletics are an extension of the school community. The team built special plays to ensure that every player had the opportunity to score during a game. The girls JV team, led by Rich Pierce and Rob Colgan, was able to build on their legacy of success and win the St. Peter’s Tournament at the end of the season. The Varsity 7th and 8th grade boys team, led by Chris Locke, Gina Psenicska and Monica Trout, continued to produce exciting competition. The team capped their strong season by winning the St. Peter’s Tournament in impressive style.

Off the court, the basketball teams attended a University of Delaware basketball game and participated in the half-time High Five Tunnel. Special thanks to Tracy Willman for coordinating an extremely well-attended event. In addition, in April, the Athletic Association held the annual Sports Banquet to recognize the efforts of our student-athletes and coaches. Overall, it was a strong year for the Athletic Association that was created by the willing efforts of our head coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, parent volunteers, and the enthusiasm of our student-athletes.

The Athletic Association is looking for interested parent volunteers to join our board to support the athletic interests of our students. A vibrant sports program is an important part of the school community and a great way for parents to get involved. If you are interested, please contact Steve Dymowski at athleticdirector@mountaviat.org.

The success of the Friends and Families of the Oblate Sisters continues to be seen in all their events. The Friends held their annual Cream Puff Day in

February. Again, they exceeded last year’s total. The new record is 5,800 cream puffs. That makes for a very long day. With the help of some great volunteers—some that start at 1 a.m.—they were cleaned up and out the door at 4:00 p.m. Because of the success of this one-day cream puff sale and other events such as taco lunch and the Christmas Bazaar, the Friends were able to make a sizable donation toward refurbishing and air conditioning the third floor of the convent.

Not all events, though, are fundraising events. The Friends continue to host fun activities such as Grandparents’ Day, the Roller Skating Party and the Family Dance. This year’s Grandparents’ Day was well attended with about 230 grandparents sitting down to a New Orleans-themed lunch. The roller skating night and the family dance are events that encourage families to spend time together and to interact with other school families. The Roller Skating Party and Family Dance were both a big success, even though they had to be rescheduled due to weather. The theme of the dance continued the spirit of Mount Aviat’s Blue Ribbon celebration as students were encouraged to wear their “I Glow with School Spirit at MAA” shirts and were given glow sticks to dance with in the darkened gym. Families donated canned goods to support the Immaculate Conception Outreach as part of their entry fee. Boxes of food were delivered the next week.

Due to the increase of all their events, the Friends will be moving to a new format of using event-based Chairs. After putting out a call for help, each event has been assigned a chairperson. Chairs will be used to run each of the following events: Ice Cream Social, Roast Beef Dinner, Taco Lunch, Trunk or Treat, Family Dance, Christmas Bazaar, Cream Puff Day, Teacher Appreciation Week and Grandparents’ Day. A step-by-step guide on how each event is organized and run is being prepared by the current board, under the guidance of Sister Joseph Margaret.
