Sweatshirt Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, May 19th, the Class of 2022 walked the halls of Molloy in their college sweatshirts!
A much loved tradition, seniors were encouraged to wear a shirt or sweater from the college or university they will attend in the fall. From Harvard to Vanderbilt, and Cornell to Columbia, Stanners are attending some of the most prestigious schools in the country! We\u2019re so proud of our seniors, and wish them the best of luck wherever they are headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on May 19th, in honor of the end of the school year, Spanish teacher Se\u00f1or Bronsen<\/strong> put together a “Fiesta Final” for the juniors and seniors. During their lunch periods, Stanners were treated to fun music and party lights in a festively decorated cafeteria. During senior lunch, Se\u00f1or Bronsen and his student interns organized an interactive Spanish lesson to put everyone’s language skills to the test. It was great seeing the whole cafeteria participate, even the French and Italian students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography Club Featured in Online Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The William F. DiPietra Foundation provides grants and other monetary prizes to Media Arts students at Fordham University, Long Island University, and Archbishop Molloy High School. Founder and President, Helen DiPietra<\/strong>, created the foundation to honor her late son William, a proud Stanner and photography enthusiast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

William F. DiPietra ’94<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

William F. DiPietra<\/strong> graduated from Molloy in 1994 with the dream of pursuing a career in media. He received a B.A. from Fordham University and an M.A. from Long Island University, both in the Media Arts. Bill loved his work as a filmmaker, director, and screenwriter. Unfortunately, Bill suffered from a serious illness and passed away in 2017. To honor his legacy, Long Island University reached out to Helen to inform her that an award would be given to a college graduate in Bill\u2019s honor. Touched, Helen decided she wanted to create an award to assist Media Arts students, because that\u2019s what Bill was passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting off awarding a grant during graduation at Long Island University, the foundation grew to provide grants to Media Arts students at Fordham University and Archbishop Molloy High School, scholarship awards to students at St. Elizabeth Catholic Academy, and donations to EMS FDNY Help Fund, FDNY Honor Emergency Fund, and Ronald McDonald House. According to Helen, \u201cOur mission statement is to provide grants to Media Arts students primarily at schools Bill attended, but also to causes that are especially significant to us, honoring his career as a firefighter as well.\u201d Mostly funded by friends and family, the foundation has awarded about $50,000 in grants over the last three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to providing grants, Helen created a Photo Exhibition that invites students to submit their original photos to be displayed on the foundation\u2019s website. Initially highlighting college students, in its third year Helen reached out to Molloy and asked if there was a photography program available. Working with Mr. Joe Sommo \u201803<\/strong>, co-moderator of the Photography Club, parameters of the exhibition were established: students of the club would each submit five photos depicting a theme of their choosing. All participants were awarded an honorary prize, while the top three won a larger prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
