Earlier this week, Mr. Jeff Gallagher ’88<\/strong>, longtime social studies teacher and track coach at Molloy, suffered a serious medical emergency. Mr. Gallagher is in serious but stable condition. He is in the company of family and friends and is receiving excellent medical care. We ask that our Stanner family please join us in praying for Mr. Gallagher, that he may experience a quick and full recovery. With respect to Mr. Gallagher and his family, we also ask that you please also respect their privacy at this time. We will keep our community updated as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we know that Mr. Gallagher will appreciate all the prayers and “Big Smiles” you are sending his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Freshman Day Retreats have once again been a success! From January 30th – February 1st and on February 9th, members of the Class of 2026 visited Thomas Berry Place in Jamaica, Queens. There, freshmen were taught what it means to be a Marist Youth, participating in group bonding activities that strengthened their relationships with each other and the Marist faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the retreat, Stanners learned about the five Marist Pillars: Presence, Simplicity, Family Spirit, Love of Work, and In the Way of Mary<\/strong>. Activities highlighted what it means to follow these pillars, as well as their importance to the Molloy community, in and out of school. Students learned about St. Marcellin Champagnat, and listened to talks given by fellow students about how Molloy has positively impacted them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although annual retreats are usually held at the Marist Brothers\u2019 Center at Esopus, the Freshman Day Retreats have shown students that the physical place is not as important as the people inhabiting it. Students learned about each other, participated in group activities, and built a community that will continue to grow through their four years at Molloy and beyond. Director of Marist Life and Mission Ms. Lori Wilson<\/strong> shares, \u201cFor most of the freshmen, it was their first retreat experience\u2026and they were pleasantly surprised that they were able to do so much!\u201d She also thanked the junior leaders, saying, \u201cOur nine junior students who led the retreats worked hard, and felt like they accomplished what they had hoped for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 2nd, Molloy held a prayer service in honor of Black History Month, reflecting on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The service was created and entirely led by students, who spoke, recited poetry, shared reflections, and performed.

Anthony Kerr \u201823<\/strong> began the service with a welcome speech, encouraging everyone in attendance to \u201cembrace change within ourselves and as a community,\u201d and to \u201cbelieve in and fight for our dreams.\u201d Karolina Lundqvist \u201823<\/strong> followed, singing \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d in the form of prayer. Abigail Mallia \u201823<\/strong> read an excerpt from Dr. King\u2019s \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech, and Favour Olobor \u201823<\/strong> reflected, saying, \u201cI believe that our school community is capable of bringing dreams to action.\u201d Favour continued, \u201cI have a dream that we as Stanners will live in such harmony that we will be an example to not only future Stanners, but to every single person we come across.\u201d

Aiden Wynter \u201823<\/strong> and Tarik Lajoie \u201823<\/strong> led intentions, praying for justice and equality. Antonia Dey \u201824<\/strong> ended the service with an original poem, in collaboration with members of Molloy\u2019s Step Team, Jaiden Clarke \u201823<\/strong>, Gina Garcia \u201823<\/strong>, Favour Olobor \u201823<\/strong>, and Shathia Lupi O\u2019Brien \u201824<\/strong>.

Introducing: The Music Club!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molloy is proud to introduce its newest extracurricular, The Music Club! Started by senior Anthony Kerr \u201823<\/strong>, The Music Club has been an idea of his since his freshman year. After putting in the work, the club is now up and running! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Music Club, which is open to all Stanners, is described as a space where people can come together to talk about, listen to, and create music. Its mission statement reads, \u201cThe Music Club aims to introduce a broad spectrum of musical genres that members of the Molloy community may not have typically been introduced to on their own.\u201d Some goals of the club include cultural education, analyzing song lyrics, emotional growth through community, manifesting positivity, and building a general interest in music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club\u2019s theme of unity did not come about by chance. As its founder, Anthony said that the idea for The Music Club solidified itself during the year of at-home learning, due to the pandemic. He shared, \u201cBeing in isolation, it seemed like the world was consumed with problem after problem. As a form of escapism, I turned to music. It got me through the pandemic and broadened my perspective on many things.\u201d He continued, \u201cMusic has the power to unify, educate, and bring joy regardless of differences, and I wanted to bring that to Molloy.\u201d After returning to school and discussing his idea with his friends, Ms. Murdocca, and Dr. Penikas, Anthony\u2019s club proposal was approved during his senior year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club, simply, is a forum where students and faculty are encouraged to come together and speak about music. Anthony shared, \u201cI feel that oftentimes, we get so caught up in our schoolwork, and I wanted to create a place where we can incorporate our passions into school life. The Music Club is all-inclusive; we are interested in an array of different genres from popular to the obscure, as long as it promotes unity or understanding. We want people to feel welcomed to share their taste regardless of how different it is.\u201d….Click the button below to read the full story on Molloy’s website<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
