Each year, many members of the Molloy community come together and contribute to the planning and eventual success of the Jim Kinnier Stanner Golf Classic. The Classic benefits from the loyalty and dedication of some amazing alumni, parents, and friends, many of whom donate items for auction, purchase and sell raffle tickets, sponsor journal ads, and encourage new golfers to participate in the outing. The Stanner Alumni Center is often asked the question, \u201cHow can I get involved at Molloy?\u201d Sometimes the answer is as simple as volunteering one\u2019s time and efforts for the Stanner Golf Classic. Not only do our volunteers help make each outing a historic moment for Molloy, but the money raised by the event each year goes directly to students in need who are eager to join the Stanner family. It is truly work that supports a great cause. Last year\u2019s outing brought in over $153,000 for Molloy scholarships \u2013 a new record! The bar has been set.<\/p>\n
Working with the Golf Chairman each year is the Honorary Chair. This individual is often a longtime supporter of the outing who the Golf Board is proud to recognize and thank for their outstanding work. This year\u2019s Honorary Chairman is John Coster \u201974<\/strong>. John is no stranger to the Stanner Golf Classic. He and his colleagues at Jzanus Consulting<\/a> of Floral Park have been staples at the outing for well over a decade. The Jzanus team, who specialize in revenue recovery and revenue improvement services, HIM coding validation, clinical documentation improvement, and home care for the elderly and disabled, are always among the first golfers to be registered, and they are always eager and excited to hit the greens for a good cause. Much like our Chairman, John Coster takes much pride in being a Stanner. When told he would be honored on May 4th, he was ecstatic and enthusiastically joined the Golf Board members at one of their meetings for the first time. John is excited to do his part in making the outing a success once again, and the Board and Stanner Alumni Center could not be happier to work with him in this capacity. He is well deserving of this honor.<\/p>\n If you would like to honor our Chairman, John Fazio, our Honorary Chairman, John Coster, or Maria Ford, please consider golfing with us this year. You may also sponsor an ad in this year\u2019s golf journal, which will be presented at the outing and circulated digitally on www.molloyhs.org<\/a> and in The Beehive. For more information on registering or sponsoring an ad, or to receive an invitation or raffle tickets, please contact Maria at (718) 943-3186 or mford@molloyhs.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n Archbishop Molloy High School recently helped enrich the learning programs at ComUnidad Juan Diego, a community outreach organization for Latin American Immigrants in the Archdiocese of New York, with a donation of 10 laptop computers. ComUnidad offers educational support services, English lessons, financial education, social services support, and family education programs for Latin American immigrants and their families. Many of their students are also enrolled in Catholic grade schools and hope to benefit from the organization’s services through high school. Br. John Klein<\/strong>, a former faculty member and principal at Molloy who also once served as the first Provincial Superior of the Marist Brothers for the US Province, is currently working with the ComUnidad organization. \u201cMolloy\u2019s great generosity will enable both our young people and the \u2018older\u2019 students in our ESL program to have Internet access and the ability to work on a variety of educational programs,\u201d said Br. John, who visited Molloy last week with colleague and friend Br. Santos Garcia.<\/p>\n The Brothers were greeted by President Richard Karsten \u201981<\/strong>, Principal Br. Thomas Schady<\/strong>, IT Director CJ Mallia<\/strong>, and IT staff members Matt Morgado \u201908<\/strong> and Dan Charvet \u201902<\/strong>, all of whom are pictured above. \u201cThis was a great opportunity for Molloy to extend charity to a Marist initiative outside the school,\u201d said President Karsten. \u201cThe Marist family is global, and many of our students come from ESL families. We teach the importance of putting the needs of others before our own, and in turn I\u2019m proud that our school has the ability to help an organization such as ComUnidad Juan Diego.\u201d<\/p>\n Presently, Br. Patrick is part of the FMSI-Geneva team and a member of the Marist community in Pr\u00e9vessin-Mo\u00ebns, France. He will take over for Br. Ben during the next Provincial Chapter, which is scheduled for June 2015. Br. Patrick was Provincial of Poughkeepsie (now USA Province) from 1994 to 2000. He began to follow Marcellin\u2019s way in 1973, and has enjoyed living in the Marist community carrying out the mission of the Christian education of young people and poor children through different services in the United States, and working in the defense of the rights of children through FMSI Geneva.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Molloy\u2019s Science Olympiad team achieved great success at this year\u2019s Regional Event hosted at Grover Cleveland High School. Out of 37 participating schools from across New York State, Molloy placed fifth, qualifying them for a trip to the State Finals. Only the top seven finishing schools in the Regional Event are invited to the State Finals. In addition, Molloy placed seventh out of 58 total teams competing at the Regional Event. Individual members of the Science Olympiad team also earned numerous honors and medals across the board for their outstanding work on the various events featured in the program. Those achievements are listed as follows: 14 of 15 Molloy team members successfully earned medals, and several received multiple medals. \u201cOur youngest and newest team member, Alex Rief \u201918<\/strong> is to be commended for his outstanding achievements in both of his tough events,\u201d said moderator and science teacher Mr. John Attard \u201906<\/strong>. \u201cAnthony Balaguera \u201915<\/strong> should also be commended on medaling in all of his events. All of our sophomores, including Julian West<\/strong>, Stephanie Lechki<\/strong>, Vivian Chen<\/strong>, and Andrew Christophorou,<\/strong> should be commended for earning medals in some of their events.\u201d The State Finals will take place at Le Moyne College in Syracuse on March 13th and 14th.<\/p>\n Congratulations are in order for the girls JV basketball team, who finished an undefeated 23-0 season as Diocesan and City Champions! Congratulations to the players and coaching staff on this wonderful achievement.<\/p>\n Other Molloy athletes had a successful winter season as well, producing excellent team records and memorable seasons. The boys Varsity basketball team won the Presidents Day Roundball Classic at Central Catholic HS and reached the Semi-finals of the Diocesan Playoffs. The team entered the City Playoffs as the #4 seed from B\/Q and advanced to the semi-finals. The Boys JV basketball team is currently 15-1 and entered the City Playoffs as the #1 seed, advancing to the semi-finals. The boys freshman basketball is 14-2 entering and will enter the City Playoffs as the #1 seed. Meanwhile, the girls Varsity basketball team is 19-6 and play in the State \u201cAA\u201d Playoffs on March 10th.<\/p>\n The girls Varsity swimming team was undefeated in dual meets and Individual Champions 3 years in a row. The boys swim team captured the Divisional Champions and sent 3 swimmers to State Meet. The girls Varsity track team are City Champs and BQ diocesan champs. The boys track teams: Frosh, Soph & varsity teams are BQ champs and the Varsity boys are 3rd place Intersectional Championships. The JV bowling team captured both the City and Diocesan Championships while the Varsity bowling team were crowned the Diocesan Champions.<\/p>\n The trip began in Warsaw, Poland, where the group spent two days with their hosts at the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews. Tours of the museum were supplemented with a bus tour through Warsaw, where the remnants of the Warsaw Ghettos still act as a window to the past. The ghettos were neighborhoods in which Jewish families were moved by the Nazi regime to further intimidate and control them. \u201cWhile touring Warsaw we also stopped at a Jewish cemetery. Many were victims of the Holocaust, but many were not, and it was a reminder that so many people had lives before the war and that life here was not always affected by the specter of war,\u201d said Sabina.<\/p>\n Sabina\u2019s group would finally arrive at the Auschwitz camp after already experiencing days of emotional scenery and testimony. \u201cWhile touring Auschwitz what stood out to me the most was the survivors showing their families around the camp with full knowledge of the grounds,\u201d said Sabina. Haunting were the sights of the entrance to Birkenau, where train cars with prisoners would funnel into the camp. This visual would serve as the backdrop for the event itself. The area was covered by a large tent, while the train tracks were lit and encased in plastic, allowing attendees to walk the path many unwillingly took over 70 years ago.<\/p>\n Sabina took away much from the experience. \u201cI believe the purpose of the journey was to reinforce the notion that we must bridge the past to the present. As teachers we have a responsibility, when the curriculum allows, to share the very real stories and lessons from this unfortunate time period. I am so grateful for the opportunity to travel to Auschwitz. Seeing and hearing the last witnesses of the Holocaust was so powerful, and I was reminded of how important my role as a teacher is. We all have a responsibility to teach that the past is truly present, and it needs to be present in order for us to learn from our mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jeremy Magno \u201913 <\/strong>is a social media marketing intern at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. Jeremy\u2019s pitches to small business owners all over Brooklyn to get their businesses online. \u201cMany small business owners are not taking advantage of free online services to advertise and bring in revenue for their businesses,\u201d explained Jeremy. Through his internship he will conduct outreach into Brooklyn neighborhoods and set up appointments with small business owners to help their online presence. \u201cWith the work I did with my fellow CUNY members, we secured a $25k grant from Google,\u201d said Jeremy, who is interested in networking with Stanner business owners.

<\/a>Each Stanner Golf Classic names a Chairman who acts as one of the lead driving forces of the outing. The Chairman is an ambassador for Molloy who shares the school\u2019s mission with alumni, parents and corporate sponsors to encourage more awareness for the goals of the outing as well as increased participation. This year\u2019s Golf Chairman is Stanner Hall of Famer John Fazio \u201987<\/strong>. A member of the Golf Board for many years, John brings a love for Molloy that is rarely equaled. As a student, John worked on The Stanner, enjoyed the Italian Club, and loved trips to Esopus with friends. Those experiences stayed with him, and he has remained a proud Stanner throughout his life. Together with his brothers Gino \u201981<\/strong> and Gaetano \u201901<\/strong>, John has worked with Molloy for many years on several capital projects and renovations as acting vice president and senior manager of G. Fazio Construction. Some recent projects include the modernization of the William J. Murphy Library, the student cafeteria, and the first floor chapel. He has clearly been a dedicated alumnus since the day he graduated, and following in the footsteps of his older brother Gino, who was Chairman several years ago, John is determined to successfully fulfill his role as Chairman and make the 29th annual outing a memorable one.<\/p>\n![\"Maria](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Maria_Ford_2014_low_res.jpg\")
<\/a>In addition to introducing our Chair and Honorary Chair, it is important to note that this year will be Maria Ford\u2019s last Stanner Golf Classic. Maria, Molloy\u2019s Alumni Relations Director, announced her retirement earlier this school year effective June 2015. She has been the lead planner for the Classic for 18 years, helping the event climb past the $2 million plateau for all-time money raised. Her work has been remarkable, and we have all been proud to call her our colleague and our friend. As a Stanner parent and spouse herself, Maria knows full well the benefits of a Molloy education, and she has done everything in her power to give students the opportunity to succeed here. We hope that you will join us in congratulating and thanking Maria for many years of service and success. She has certainly earned it.<\/p>\n![\"Like](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/f_logo.png\"){kind=logo}

<\/a>A budding tradition has gained momentum at Molloy, with the Class of 2015 the most recent performers to take the stage to present the Senior Showcase. After a successful run last year, this year\u2019s theme was voted to be Saturday Night Live, which eventually morphed into the above headline. \u201cRumor has it the seniors had been planning their senior show since sitting in the audience during last year\u2019s performance,\u201d said Ms. Shannon Winters \u201906<\/strong>, Director of the Stanner Players. \u201cThey walked into our first brainstorming meeting with a multitude of ideas, ready to work and put together something different.\u201d The end result was a series of skits inspired by the iconic comedy show, including an opening monologue, musical numbers, parodies of Disney\u2019s Frozen<\/em> and Fox\u2019s Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/em>, and a particularly funny Driver\u2019s Ed class featuring a pirate, a nervous teen, and a jock. The seniors put on two performances \u2013 one for students after school and the second for parents over the weekend. \u201cThe seniors were amazing throughout the entire process. They did everything, including directing their peers, preparing costumes and props, and spent hours perfecting dance moves,\u201d said Ms. Winters. \u201cTheir dedication and determination is commendable, and I think they should be extremely proud of what they accomplished.\u201d Ms. Winters went on to say she hopes that the senior show will continue to inspire the underclassmen to work even harder in subsequent years, eventually becoming an important part of the Stanner Players\u2019 yearly repertoire.

<\/p>\nSabina Kobinski ’04 Journeys to Auschwitz for 70th Anniversary of Camp’s Liberation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
![\"Sabina](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Sabina_Kobinski_Portrait_2014-225x300.jpg\")
<\/a>Last summer, Sabina Kobinski \u201904<\/strong>, a history teacher at Molloy, entered the selection process for a professional development program offered by the University of Southern California\u2019s Shoah Foundation. According to their website, the USC Shoah Foundation is \u201can institute for visual history and education dedicated to making audio-visual interviews with survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides a compelling voice for education and action.\u201d The program, titled iWitness Auschwitz: Past is Present, promised to bring 25 teachers from around the world on a journey to Auschwitz, a notorious Nazi concentration camp where many innocent people of diverse nationalities and religious denominations were held in captivity, tortured, and killed during World War II. The journey would include meeting survivors of the Holocaust, traveling to the remnants of the Warsaw Ghettos, and culminate in attending the 70th anniversary event commemorating the liberation of Auschwitz by Russian troops. \u201cI never thought I would be chosen for this honor,\u201d said Sabina, whose great-uncle was held captive by Nazi soldiers in Poland in 1942. \u201cI was humbled to be offered this once in a lifetime experience, but also anxious because I did not know what to expect in terms of the emotions that would challenge me during the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Sabina](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Kobinski_Auschwitz_3_WEB-300x241.jpg\")
<\/a>Traveling with Sabina were teachers from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and other corners of the globe \u2013 all of whom represented Morman, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and other religious denominations. \u201cThe diversity of our group provided unique perspectives and a stronger experience as we toured many important sites and spoke with Holocaust survivors,\u201d said Sabina, who was one of 15 representatives from the United States and the only teacher from New York.<\/p>\n![\"Paula](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Lebowics-300x186.jpg\")
<\/a>The group would then travel to Krak\u00f3w, where survivor Paula Lebovics spoke about her experience as a Holocaust survivor. A native of Poland, she talked more about her life before the war. \u201cHearing Paula talk about her life before the war, I was again reminded that there was once much joy and happiness in the lives of these people. She was only six years old when the war erupted and changed her life completely. She was not liberated until age eleven.\u201d (Pictured: Paula Lebovics is photographed with other prisoners on the day Auschwitz was liberated<\/em>)<\/p>\n![\"A](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Auschwitz_1_WEB-150x150.jpg\")

<\/a>Many notable heads of state were present for the anniversary event, as well as the founder of the Shoah Foundation, film director Steven Spielberg, who spoke with Sabina and her group about the importance of their presence and participating in the iWitness Auschwitz program. During the anniversary event itself the mood was somber, yet a theme of resilience came through from many of the survivors who spoke. \u201cThe speeches were very powerful, none more than that of survivor Roman Kent. He said, \u2018Hate is never right, and love is never wrong\u2019 and urged everyone to never be a bystander. I was speechless during and after the ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n
