Trust in these values, as they will guide and serve us well in the future,&#8221; said Vassilia. Andrew reflected on their collective four year journey. He noted that on their first day as freshmen, their only common thread was the uniforms they wore, but now they no longer need a uniform to tie them together forever. &#8220;What links us now are the Marist values which forever distinguish us as faith-filled disciples, empowered witnesses, agents of service and justice, servant leaders, and spirit-filled members of our families and communities,&#8221; said Andrew. He later encouraged his classmates to go forth and use the values they&#8217;ve been instilled with to make the world a better place.

While Ms. Gannon expected it to be a bittersweet event, what she didn\u2019t expect was the series of surprises that unfolded throughout the period. First, longtime colleagues and friends Ms. Adele Solari and Ms. Jeanne Longerano brought in cupcakes and treats for Ms. Gannon and her students. Then, the AP Lit students presented Ms. Gannon with personalized letters. Lastly, at around 9:30AM, <strong>President Richard Karsten \u201981<\/strong> (her former student), joined by teachers and administrators, presented Ms. Gannon with several items, including well wishes culled from social media, and gifts, letters, and origami cranes sent in by alumni.<\/p>\n<p>As many will recall, Ms. Gannon would make a paper crane for each of her students as they moved on from her class; the crane serving as a reflection of her students\u2019 personal journeys. Upon hearing of Ms. Gannon\u2019s impending retirement, alumni organized a campaign via social media, using #CranesForMPG, to mail homemade cranes to Molloy in honor of Ms. Gannon. Special thanks to <strong>Megan Joyce Fisher \u201905<\/strong> and <strong>Gina Moriarty \u201904<\/strong> for their efforts to facilitate this kind gesture.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Gannon closed out the class by reading a prayer that she has read to her students every year. You can watch the presentation of gifts and Ms. Gannon\u2019s prayer in the video below. Thank you to everyone who has helped us to honor this extraordinary educator, and thank you, Ms. Gannon, for making such an impact on our Stanner family!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kEB7Bh2pU4M\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-17250 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6863_2.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6863_2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6873.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6873-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6908_2.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6908_2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6925.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6925-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6950.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6950-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6955.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_6955-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #014f7e;\"><strong>Stanner Life Commemorative Issue:&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>SPONSOR A JOURNAL AD<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Stanner_125_Transparent_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-17083\" style=\"margin: 8px;\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Stanner_125_Transparent_web-289x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"176\"><\/a>Production on our annual summer magazine,&nbsp;<em>Stanner Life<\/em><em>, is underway<\/em>.

The workshop was created by alumna <strong>Samantha Morgan \u201915<\/strong>, who was featured in the Beehive back in 2015 when she embarked on a study abroad program in Japan. That experience inspired Samantha to help other students learn about the opportunities available to them in college, and the ways they can take full advantage. Samantha received a grant and support from Columbia to make her workshop a reality. <em>(Pictured: Diana front row second from left, Billy back row second from left, Samantha crouched in front<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>The workshop began on a Friday night with a class of each participant\u2019s choosing. \u201cThe options for the first night were an engineering class using a 3D printer and a Makerspace Lab, a theater class, and a philosophy class,\u201d explained Diana. \u201cBilly and I chose the philosophy class. All of the options were meant to give you the feel of a real college class.\u201d Later in the evening, the participants were each paired with a Columbia student and roomed in their dorms overnight. \u201cWe really got the experience of what it\u2019s like to sleep overnight on campus,\u201d said Diana. Day two featured a tour of the campus, an in-depth session about the admissions process and financial aid, how to research colleges effectively, and a lecture led by Samantha herself about the pros and cons of studying abroad. \u201cIt was awesome to see another Stanner trying to help other students understand what it\u2019s like to be on a college campus,\u201d said Billy.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><strong>Cayla Kumar \u201820 Named Miss New York Outstanding Teen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Kumar_3_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-17266\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 8px;\" src=\"http:\/\/168.62.170.58\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Kumar_3_web-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"258\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/?p=16638\">In March<\/a>, we shared the story of sophomore <strong>Cayla Kumar \u201920<\/strong>, who was preparing for the Miss New York Outstanding Teen competition on April 7th.

Herbert, the father of former pro baseball player David Eckstein, attended St. Ann\u2019s Academy and later graduated from Molloy as an 8th grader. In doing so, he was one of the last grammar school students to graduate from St. Ann\u2019s \/ Molloy before it became a high school only. Herbert also maintained a close connection with Coach Jack Curran for decades, having played basketball for Curran as a Molloy 8th grader. He also remained a friend to our community and was very proud of his St. Ann\u2019s roots. Please keep Herbert and the Eckstein family in your prayers. | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/opinion\/audience\/shannon-green\/os-ae-whitey-eckstein-died-20180606-story.html\">Read More about Herbert Eckstein<\/a> | <em>Pictured below left to right: Herbert with St. Ann statue, Herbert with Coach Curran, and Herbert&#8217;s St. Ann&#8217;s \/ Molloy grammar school graduation portrait.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-17250 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_1_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_1_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_2_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_2_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_3_web.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Eckstein_3_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walk\/Run for Karina&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;THIS WEEKEND!
