Please Take Our Survey: Molloy’s Strategic Plan
During the upcoming 2018-19 school year, Molloy will be conducting a formal Strategic Plan to assess the dynamics of the education market place in New York City. In order to effectively do so, we need the input of our key constituents: faculty, staff, students, alumni, benefactors, and our community at large. The Strategic Plan process is designed to gain insight from those who have the deepest stake in the future of Molloy. Key opportunities and challenges will be identified to ensure that the vibrancy of the mission at Molloy continues to thrive for generations. Please complete our survey by August 30th.
Repairs to Front Entrance & Track Are Underway
In our last Beehive, we shared news about our latest major capital project: adding air conditioning to classrooms in multiple phases. This week, we share a few photos from other areas of our campus receiving attention. First, the main entrance on Manton Street is under construction as a crew works to repair damage from fallen trees back in May. At the moment, the entire walkway and parts of the lawn have been pulled up. Repairs will be made to the awning and front signage soon, while last week the crew began repairing the netting around the cross (the nets are meant to repel birds).
Elsewhere, back by Stanner Field, several damaged sections of Molloy’s track are currently being pulled up and prepped for replacements. Facilities within the building, including hallways, the Capt. Marsloe Gym, and the Jack Curran Gym, are all being cleaned and receiving fresh coats of wax. As for the air conditioning project, the first phase is just about complete. This capital project figures to take several years to fully realize, as only select classrooms receive air conditioning during each phase. For now, the Main Street side of our campus figures to be much cooler in the warmer months.
Expect to see the finished products once school is back in session in September. Be sure to read our next Beehive for more coverage.
Stanner Life Magazine: Coming Soon!
The newest issue of our alumni magazine, Stanner Life will be dropping in mailboxes around the globe very soon. This issue is a special one, commemorating our 125th anniversary. We won’t be sharing any photo previews just yet, but we do want to give everyone one last chance to update their mailing address so they receive this special magazine. Please note that due to the increased size of the book, one copy per household has been mailed, rather than multiple copies for family members that share one address. Please feel free to contact us to let us know if you’d like an extra copy, or if you did not receive it and would like us to send you one.
Send your updated address information, or your children’s updated information, to alumni@molloyhs.org. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the new Stanner Life!
Changes to Molloy’s Alumni Login Feature
Stanners intending to login to Molloy’s alumni website at www.molloyhs.org/alumni/ may have noticed some changes recently. It is at this time we must announce that the alumni login feature is no longer active on our website. The link to login has been replaced by a link to update contact information and opt-in to The Beehive. The Beehive is one of the most important ways that Molloy shares news and engages with alumni and the greater school community. With this in mind, the ability to opt-in to the newsletter is now more prominently featured on our website. We hope that this will make The Beehive available to an even great number of alumni, and keep even more Stanners informed about the many great stories from around our school.
Click on the screenshots below for examples of where to look and what to expect:
While we understand that many alumni enjoyed the ability to login to our website, please know that we are considering new ways to engage and connect with alumni online. We hope that you will continue to read The Beehive and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn for future announcements. If you have any questions, please contact alumni@molloyhs.org. Thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm regarding all things Molloy, as well as your patience and understanding regarding these recent changes.
