Ways To Give To Molloy This Christmas Season<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Molloy is blessed by the philanthropy that our Stanner community provides. Your support impacts every facet of our campus and allows our school to say “yes” to capital upgrades, innovative programs, research projects, and exciting hands-on learning opportunities. We are truly grateful for your charity. THANK YOU.<\/p>\n

During the Christmas season we receive a number of calls regarding a variety of giving options such as IRA rollovers, stock and security transfers, and how to designate Molloy in one\u2019s estate planning. To help you and your professional advisors, we have created a \u201cDonor Information<\/a>\u201d page on our website. There you will find information to help you learn about multiple giving platforms and their advantages, and to determine which can best benefit you, your loved ones, and Molloy.<\/p>\n

Should you ever have any questions please reach out to the team in the Stanner Alumni Center at 718.441.9210 or alumni@molloyhs.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We thank you all for what you have done and continue to do to help our school continue to grow and flourish in the Marist tradition.<\/p>\n

First Recipient of Karina Vetrano Memorial Scholarship Speaks With The Beehive<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In June, Molloy announced the first recipient of the Karina Vetrano Memorial Scholarship<\/strong>. Molloy welcomed Jenna Schonmann \u201922 <\/strong>and her family to the second annual Walk\/Run For Karina, where they met President Richard Karsten \u201981<\/strong> and the Vetrano family. Jenna said she was very excited to attend Molloy in September. The Beehive<\/em> recently sat down for an interview with Jenna. (Pictured above left: Jenna. Right: Jenna volunteering at Open House.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Jenna is a Middle Village native and an alumna of PS 128, where she played volleyball for three years. She considers herself a creative person who enjoys to draw and doodle. She also likes to attend Broadway shows, and considers Hamilton<\/em> to be her current favorite.<\/p>\n

When applying to high schools, Jenna heard a lot of good things about Molloy from her older sister, Julia, who graduated from Stanner High in 2018. When the Schonmann family learned about the Karina Vetrano Memorial Scholarship, they encouraged Jenna to submit an application. \u201cI wrote an essay and talked about my interests in school, art, and sports,\u201d said Jenna. \u201cIt makes me proud to be able to honor Karina, and I\u2019m really happy to be at Molloy. I\u2019ve made a lot of friends so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Jenna\u2019s favorite classes is Biology, and she shared that Mr. Attard \u201906<\/strong> is her favorite teacher. She enjoyed a recent lab assignment which tasked her with analyzing the cells of an onion under a microscope. Outside of class, Jenna has joined SMILE, or Something More In Life\u2019s Experience<\/em>. \u201cI like how you\u2019re just able to talk and it doesn\u2019t leave the room. It\u2019s a comfortable place,\u201d said Jenna. She is thinking about what other clubs she would like to join, but she might wait until next year to join more. Jenna has also heard a lot about Esopus, and is interested in going on a retreat there soon.<\/p>\n

The Beehive<\/em> thanks Jenna for sharing her story, and for honoring Karina by taking full advantage of her Molloy experience. Gifts to the Karina Vetrano Memorial Scholarship help students just like Jenna to receive a quality Catholic Marist education and realize their great potential here at Molloy.

Campus Ministry Holds Annual Toy Drive<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Molloy students have been working hard this Christmas season to collect toys and gift cards for families in need. Students who donated $2 or more to Campus Ministry\u2019s recent mission collection enjoyed a dress down day on December 14th, while students donated many new toys to the drive. An amazing $3,829.81<\/strong> was collected during the dress down day. Students and clubs also had the opportunity to sponsor a child or family, a new option meant to make the act of giving even more personal. 318<\/strong> children were matched with sponsors. Gift cards will also be purchased using funds from the mission collection, which will give the receiving families the opportunity to enjoy shopping for toys and gifts. All of the donations collected by our students will be distributed between three local charities. Special thanks to Mr. Germano and Campus Ministry Leaders for their efforts in running the Toy Drive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Readers of The Beehive<\/em> are invited to download a PDF version of the newest edition of The Stanner<\/em>. Founded in 1944, The Stanner<\/em> is Molloy’s most widely circulated student-run print publication.

The 2018-19 Stanner staff includes over 25 reporters, seven graphic designers, two senior associate editors, and two Editors-In-Chief. Brainstorming sessions, held for each issue, give the staff an opportunity to collaborate on and consider many interesting story ideas. In addition, Editors-In-Chief Sydney Bryant \u201919<\/strong> and Lauren Klein \u201919<\/strong> plan to survey Molloy\u2019s student population at large via social media to find out what issues they want to read about.

The Christmas Carol  <\/em><\/strong>Delights AMHS, Briarwood Communities<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations to the Stanner Players, who delivered five outstanding performances of The Christmas Carol<\/em> this December. In addition to performing for Molloy\u2019s students and families, the Players also offered a private performance for children in the local community.<\/p>\n

Director Shannon Winters \u201906<\/strong> shared her thoughts in the playbill. \u201cThe classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge is one that audiences of all ages are familiar with; everyone has seen at least one movie version of Charles Dickens\u2019 novel A Christmas Carol<\/em>,\u201d said Winters. \u201cThe plot and characters are well known and loved, and this is where producing The Christmas Carol<\/em> becomes daunting. Everyone has a preconceived notion of what they expect to see. I am incredibly proud of this cast for not only meeting expectations, but exceeding them. Not only do many of them inhabit one character, but several over the course of the play \u2013 no easy task. They have made 18th Century London come alive, and they are the heart of this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
