*Note: Deadline for all reunion registrations is Tuesday, October 28th. <\/span><\/em><\/strong>This will help our staff make food, beverage, and seating preparations that will adequately accommodate all guests.<\/p>\n The Stanner Alumni Reunion is now only two weeks away, and time is running out to register! This year\u2019s reunion, hosted here at Molloy, will feature the classes of: 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, and 2009. We\u2019re still aiming to beat last year\u2019s record of 650 in attendance, but we have a ways to go. Help us make history by spreading the word to your classmates and reuniting on Nov 1st!<\/p>\n In addition, Molloy will honor four distinguished individuals with induction into the Stanner Hall of Fame: Dr. John Scileppi<\/strong>, PhD, \u201963<\/strong>, Sr. Elizabeth Bickar<\/strong>, Police Officer John Williamson \u201986<\/strong> (posthumously), and Rear Admiral Robert Duncan<\/strong> \u201968<\/strong>. These honorees have all exemplified the character and conduct reflected in Molloy\u2019s motto: \u201cNot for school but for life.\u201d<\/p>\n On Sunday, October 5th, the Stanner community took part in the 27th Annual Andrew Harvey Memorial 5K Fun Run at Molloy. This year\u2019s race happened upon one of the best weather days it has seen in recent memory, and runners were eager to advantage and make their way through the familiar (famous) route. The 5K begins on the school\u2019s track, loops around Molloy and the streets of Briarwood, challenges runners with a pesky hill known to many Molloy runners, and finally finishes up back on the track. A One Mile Race was also offered for runners who were eager for a different challenge, and later kids of all age groups took part in the Little One\u2019s Dash. Coffee, juice, bagels, cake, and rolls were offered to all runners and guests following the conclusion of the day\u2019s races, while the top three finishers in each age group and category were awarded medals for their outstanding performances. “I would like to thank Frank Gambino<\/strong>, Br. Bob Andrews<\/strong>, and all the volunteers, alumni, and family members that have helped make the Andrew Harvey Memorial 5K Fun Run one of Molloy’s proudest traditions,” said President Richard Karsten ’81<\/strong>. “It is never easy for any event to sustain 27 consecutive years of success, but the continued commitment of all involved with this annual run is truly inspiring. Congratulations to all.” Please refer to the links below for a list of winners and times. Thanks to all who made this year\u2019s Andrew Harvey Memorial 5K Fun Run a great success!<\/p>\n 5K Results<\/a> | 5K Results by Category<\/a> | One Mile Results<\/a> | One Mile Results by Category<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier this year we reported in The Beehive<\/em> that the Class of 1964, Molloy\u2019s largest graduating class ever, has been eagerly anticipating its 50th anniversary reunion for several years. Work to track down their classmates began as far back as 2012, but in March 2014 a larger contingent of \u201964 grads finally connected<\/a> to catch up as well as to make arrangements to begin a calculated Though this is a wonderful achievement, our committee members were not done. Greg, Barry, Larry, Gene, and Tom spent several hours at Molloy last week making phone calls and further spreading the word about their 50th anniversary reunion. The Stanner Alumni Center applauds the work of these dedicated alumni, and hopes that our many other class years reuniting on November 1st will show the same enthusiasm leading up to the big night. For more information on making a class gift, or about the upcoming Stanner Alumni Reunion, please refer to the lead article in this issue of The Beehive<\/em>, call (718) 441-9210 or email Maria Ford at mford@molloyhs.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n With the Warriors\u2019 regular season scheduled to begin on October 29th, Gold is currently getting her reps in during the team\u2019s preseason coverage. She recently tweeted photos from TV interviews she conducted with Warriors players Stephen Curry and Klay Thomas, as well as photos from Stanford\u2019s most recent Athletics Hall of Fame dinner for which she served as Master of Ceremonies. With a busy schedule ahead that is only bound to get busier, there is no doubt that Molloy\u2019s own Rosalyn Gold-Onwude is ready to meet these new challenges and more.<\/p>\n In addition, the following Stanners have been named Commended Students in the 2015 NMSP: Lillian Mangialino<\/strong>, Andreea Muntean<\/strong>, Valerie Rico<\/strong>, Joseph Schauer<\/strong>, and Lawrence Wu<\/strong>. Approximately 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2015 competition by taking the 2013 Preliminary SAT\/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT\/NMSQT).<\/p>\n \u201cThe young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,\u201d commented a spokesperson for NMSP. \u201cThese students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.\u201d<\/p>\n Also, Molloy\u2019s Tahina Felisca<\/strong> and Brianne Lindee<\/strong> were named 2015 National Achievement Program Outstanding Participants Referred to Colleges. Tahina and Brianne are among 1,300 outstanding students who scored in the top 3% of more than 160K African American students who sought consideration in the 2015 National Achievement Scholarship Program when they took the 2013 PSAT and NMSP Qualifying Test. The National Achievement Scholarship Program was founded in 1964 to honor academically promising African American high school students. The scholarship competition is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which also conducts the NMSP open to all U.S. high school students.<\/p>\n Molloy will honor Stanners who have fallen in battle, as well as all Stanners who have served for the United States armed forces, during a special Veteran\u2019s Day Memorial Event on Friday, November 7th. The event will take place at Molloy at 3:00pm and feature a ceremony followed by a reception with light refreshments. The ceremony will recognize the valor of many, in particular that of Private First Class Louis Willett \u201963<\/strong>, a fallen Vietnam War soldier that gave his life to save the other members of his platoon. PFC Willett was posthumously awarded with the Medal of Honor for his bravery, and remains the only Stanner to be awarded with this honor (Read more about PFC Louis Willett<\/a>). We also encourage our alumni currently serving in any branch of the armed forces to attend the ceremony here at Molloy if their schedules permit. RSVP Online, or forward any questions or comments to jsommo@molloyhs.org<\/a>. Special thanks to members of the Class of 1963 for all of their hard work in planning this event.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

\n\u201864 Grads Lead Reunion Charge with Class Gift<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/a>reunion recruitment effort. This past summer proved productive for our \u201964 Reunion Committee members, as they contacted many classmates who have either remained connected to Molloy or who have not been active members of the community for some time. The work of these volunteers not only sparked great interest in the reunion on November 1st, but it also stirred a sense of school pride as well. An August letter, sent by committee members including Greg Spano \u201964<\/strong>, Barry Mastellone \u201964<\/strong>, Larry McNamara \u201964<\/strong>, Gene McParland \u201964<\/strong>, and Tom Kraemer \u201964<\/strong>, was received warmly by classmates near and far, and many responded by participating in a \u201cclass gift\u201d effort for the first time. The Class of 1964 has collectively donated over $16,000 to Archbishop Molloy High School\u2019s scholarship program since receiving the letter. This is an overwhelming display of school pride by our \u201964 Stanners, and everyone at Molloy cannot express enough thanks for their generosity.<\/p>\n
\nGold-Onwude \u201905 Making Strides in Golden State<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/a>In August, Stanner alum Rosalyn Gold-Onwude \u201905<\/strong> announced that she would be joining the NBA\u2019s Golden State Warriors organization as a sideline reporter. \u201cI am OVERJOYED to join Comcast SportsNet\u2019s Golden State Warriors\u2019 broadcast team,\u201d Gold said on Twitter (@ROSGO21<\/a>). The former Stanford basketball star previously made an impact with MSG Network as part of their television coverage of the WNBA\u2019s NY Liberty. Gold served as a Liberty sideline reporter and analyst from 2012 until this summer, providing on air commentary as well as digital content via social media and Youtube. Now her skills take her to northern California where the spotlight will shine just a bit brighter. Gold\u2019s own playing accolades are well documented, having played in three Final Four tournaments in college and having been named PAC-10 Defense Player of the Year her senior year. She was also inducted into the GCHSAA Hall of Fame in 2011 (pictured with Molloy President Richard Karsten ’81<\/strong>). Gold is a great asset to the Warriors in that she can relate to the players based on her own past success, and help bring their emotions from the court to audiences at home through her interviews.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
