Greetings from Mount, where winter has finally relinquished its hold,

spring is bursting forth around us, and we celebrate — we celebrate new life, we celebrate the great promise of Easter, and we celebrate the many great accom-plishments of our students and athletes and their teachers and coaches. We have much for which to be grateful, and in these pages we happily share with you not only our reasons for joy but our hopes for the future. Yet, in the midst of this celebration, we remain ever mindful of the challenges of our times, especially those related to the economy. The challenges we face today have a bearing on our future, a future in which we hope more generations of young men and women will have the opportu-nity to enjoy the Mount experi-ence. Those future generations look to us to give them our best. They, too, challenge us. And we must respond. We must plan and prepare for the future in order to ensure our future. So we have dreams — of modern classrooms, new athletic fields, necessary renovations and improvements — but we wonder where and how we will find the means to realize these dreams. We cannot achieve our goals alone; we can realize our dreams and sustain the Mount experience for future Mounties only with your help — our friends, our support-ers, our partners. Yet, we know full well that you face many of the same challenges as we. I am reminded of the gospel story of the multiplication of the loaves and the fishes as presented in John’s gospel. Jesus looked at

the crowd and wondered where he would find enough bread to feed all those people. Andrew said, “There is a small boy here with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that for so many?” Very much like the economic times that challenge us today, Jesus, too, faced a situation in which the need was great and little was available to satisfy that need. But you know the rest of the story — Jesus blessed the bread and the fish, fed the multitudes, and when he was finished, there was food to spare. A miracle, yes — but would the miracle have been possible without the little boy? What would Jesus have done had the boy chosen not to share his bread and fish? Difficult times tend to make us more cautious. We are hesitant to share our resources, preferring instead to hoard them, not seeing them as gifts meant to be shared. For the boy in the story, his bread and fish may have been all he had. It may have been the only food there was to feed his family. His inclination certainly should have been to keep the food for himself. Yet, he generously, gratefully, and trustingly shared the little he had. He placed it in Jesus’ hands and then, through him and his generos-ity, Jesus fed the multitudes. It was because of the little boy, because of his willingness to share what appeared to be a meager gift, that Jesus was able to perform his miracle. We, too, look around at all those whom we might serve in the years ahead and wonder how we will ever find the means to do so. We hope and dream to renovate, improve, modernize, and expand our facilities so that future genera-

tions of students will experience the best education possible, a 21st Century education, an education in the tradition of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, an education of the whole person — body, mind, and soul. This dream can only be made possible when someone, like the little boy in John’s gospel, steps forward and says, “Take and use what I have.” The end of the John’s story finds the disciples filling twelve baskets with leftover scraps. It is a story through which we see that God’s is a house of abundance, not of scarcity — an abundance made possible by the generosity of one little boy through whom Jesus worked his miracle. Precious gifts from God were gratefully shared and thus many were blessed. Enjoy the pages of this issue of MOUNT and celebrate with us all that is good about the Mount experience. Then partner with us so that, through God’s grace, we might join together and share our gifts to sustain the Mount experience for generations to come.

Excelsior!

SUSTAINING THE MOUNT EXPERIENCE

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R I N C I P A L

Dear Friends of Mount,

Life at the school is busy as usual as we transition from one season to the next and

the academic year begins to come to a close. Activity abounds in a variety of ways. Our students are engaged in a plethora of service opportunities from school related events such as campus cleanups and musical fundraisers where bands perform, to community outreach such as working in soup kitchens in the state and visiting the elderly in area nursing homes. In the classrooms students are anxiously awaiting and preparing for end of the year exams where their performance and mastery over the course of the semester

will be measured. Our review of curriculum continues across grade levels and within departments as we seek to bring twenty-first cen-tury skills and practices to life. In sport, athletes and coaches are balancing weather with schedules, and managing to continually dem-onstrate the ideals of sportsman-ship and honorable competition which is so much a part of our success. Time and again our stu-dents are recognized by outside agencies for their contributions in all of these areas. Our mission is

alive and growing in new ways each year. All of this is made possible through the cooperative spirit which exists among faculty, stu-dents, staff members and parents. This partnership in education sets us apart from many other schools and is in large part due to the founda-tion we enjoy as a school of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Our history reminds us of the call to this mission in the Church of service to the young people entrusted to our care. In this mission we seek to form the whole person, helping them to develop their God-given intellec-tual and physical abilities, and to advance their spiritual, moral and

social consciousness. Part of this mission is shared by our many benefactors, who through their spiri-tual and material assis-tance provide the means and support for our young people to reach for excellence. It is in this community of the school and family where our

students grow to become success-ful men and women who give of their time, talent and treasure to further the kingdom of God here on earth. They are making a differ-ence in the lives of many through their determination and hard work. In the area of sport, our students are formed as young men and women of character, generosity, and fairness. Efforts to improve the culture of sport have had great success at Mount due to this strong sense of community and partnership with the family.

Students who serve teams as captains take on an added layer of responsibility and leadership. Through their example and encouragement, student athletes rise to the level of honorable competition which has gained for Mount recognition as an exem-plary school in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League. For two consecutive years, Mount Saint Charles has won the Challenge Cup. This award recognizes the success of our athletes and coaches, our fan support, and most importantly our good sportsmanship. We have much to celebrate and much for which we are proud.

Loved be the Heart of Jesus.

A s you, our alumni, families, friends, and benefactors are well aware; Mount

Saint Charles has a strong tradi-tion of academic excellence and athletic distinction. Mount Pride has been instilled in generations of our students. Through sports, we seek to form the physical strength and coordination of young people, as well as their character and ability to work cooperatively. We strive to teach that success is only gained through self-sacrifice and discipline. With this in mind, all of our students have the op-portunity to take part in sports from intra-mural to interscholastic competition. More than fifty teams currently compete under the banner of the Mounties. Our success, ap-parent in the national, state, and class championships, is more importantly evident in the fact that our teams are regular recipients of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League’s (RIIL) Sportsmanship Award for the manner of their play and quality of their character. This quality is very appar-ent in our tennis program which has exuded Mount Pride since its inception in 1973 when Richard Lawrence, a member of the Eng-lish department and our athletic director, began the club. Mr. Law-rence and our tennis coaches have worked hard to create one of the most successful and highly re-spected programs on campus and

around the state. He successfully led the boys’ team for 32 years and has coached our girls’ team for the past 20. At one point he had the girls on a six year winning steak, not losing a league match in that time. This equates to over 60 straight wins. His girls have been the Division 1 RI State Champs six of the last nine years, and have won the Division 1 North League title for eight consecutive years (2002-2009), setting a new RIIL record for consecutive champion-

ships. In the past nine years alone 45 of our girls have been named All-State players and many more have been named as All-Division players. Since the boys’ program was founded in 1973, there have been 20 championships, including four state titles. Ever since the girls’ program was started in 1984, there have been 22 championships, including 8 state titles. In addition, the junior varsity girls have also had five championship seasons and two state titles in the past six years. There are few if any schools in Rhode Island who can claim that kind of success.

Currently we have six tennis teams, three per season, a boys and girls at the junior high, junior varsity, and varsity levels. Our ten-nis program has a no-cut policy; any child that goes out for tennis, no matter their experience or abil-ity, is guaranteed a spot on a team. Our junior high teams average 25 students a year while our junior varsity and varsity teams average 35 each. That equates to 95 tennis players per season or a whopping 190 players each year, 20% of our

student body — all of this without a court to call home. For over thirty-five years Mr. Lawrence has had to rent, beg, and bor-row court time from anyone that will listen. However, enough time at reasonable hours is becoming more difficult to come by. All of this leads us to

our current undertaking.

The Goal and The Gift

Our goal is to construct six tennis courts on a parcel of land, 1.967 acres, which we own across from our Logee Street entrance. We have begun receiving proposals from contractors and it is looking like the project will come in at around $350,000. Mount has been very fortu-nate to have an anonymous donor approach us with a lead gift of $50,000 in the form of a challenge grant. For every dollar that we raise the donor will match the gift

WE INVITE YOU, our alumni, family, and friends of Mount Saint Charles Academy and the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, to join us for a wonder-ful 12 day guided tour visiting the sites important in the founding of the Brothers of the

Sacred Heart and the history

WALkING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE FOUNDERS:

A Journey to France with the Brothers of the Sacred Heart

of France. During the tour we will relive the early days of the Congregation re-connecting with time and place that meant so much to Father Andre Coindre and Brother Polycarp. We will see Lyon where the Brothers were founded: Le Puy, Monistrol, and Le Motte which played important roles in

their history; the holy sites of La Salette and Lourdes. We’ll visit Paris — The City of Lights; and so much more as we spend 12 wonderful days traveling together. For more information contact Donald Demers at demersd@mountsaintcharles.org or 401-769-0310 x111.

one for one up to $50,000. We have also begun working with the United States Tennis Association who is reviewing the technical aspects of our plan in order that they meet USTA standards. We hold out hope that they may also assist us with a grant. Even with this there is still a lot of work to be done. The more we raise the more we can accomplish. Our hope is to light the courts thus providing easier scheduling for our teams. We would also like to landscape around the courts which will im-prove the neighborhood and in-

tegrate the area into our campus. Finally, any money we raise above and beyond what it will take to construct the tennis complex will allow us to set up an endowment for the upkeep of the courts and equipment for generations of tennis players to come. At this time virtually all naming opportunities are still available. The chart on page five shows some of the ways in which you can get involved in this tremendous project. Remem-ber, a gift of any size brings us that much closer to realizing our dream. We hope that you see this is an opportunity to be forever

a part of Mount’s future. For when our dream is realized, when our new tennis complex is complete and in use, hun-dreds of Mount’s students will have you to thank. And you will have had a hand in help-ing Mount not only realize its dream, but fulfill its mission. And in some way, you will have become a part of the champi-onship teams of the future. To discuss this project or the naming opportunities please contact Donald Demers, our director of institutional advancement, at 401-769-0310 x111 or by email at demersd@mountsaintcharles.org.

T he Institute for International Sport has named Richard Lawrence, the longtime ath-

letic director at Mount St. Charles Academy, one of 20 living Ameri-

cans who have “made signifi-cant contribu-tions to the practice of fair play and have enhanced the national consciousness

regarding the central importance of sportsmanship.” Lawrence joins a list that includes retired women’s basketball coach Jody Conradt, retired NFL coach Tony Dungy, college football coach John Ga-

gliardi, NBA veteran Grant Hill, ethics advocate Michael Josephson, former tennis champion Billie Jean king, human-rights activist and expert on sports issues Richard Lapchick, ESPN anchor Bob Ley, Empire 8 Athletic Conference commissioner Chuck Mitrano, baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial, golf legend Jack Nicklaus, Middle-bury College athletic director Erin Quinn, hockey Hall of Famer Mike Richter, baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., former UConn basket-ball coach Donald “Dee” Rowe, Positive Coaching Alliance founder Jim Thompson, Olympic swimmer Dana Torres, college basketball commentator Dick Vitale, and sports psychologist Rick Wolff.

The institute said the follow-ing of Lawrence: “Over 40 years as a high school athletic direc-tor, he has nurtured a pervasive culture of honorable competi-tion that for players, coaches, parents and teachers has influ-enced behavior on the field, in the classroom and in later life.” The institute released the list in celebration of the 20th anniver-sary of National Sportsmanship Day. National Sportsmanship Day was launched in 1991 by Institute Founder and Executive Director Dan Doyle with the objective of engaging athletes and other com-munity members in thoughtful discussions about the concepts of sportsmanship and fair play.

Many students here at Mount are involved in the Service Opportu-nity Depot, an organization at the academy that provides community service opportunities for students.

Recently, religion teacher, Barbara Ferrer, moderator and a group of students spent a day at the Commu-nity Harvest Farm in North Grafton, MA. The farm, run exclusively by

volunteers, grows fresh produce which is donated to the area food banks, and supplies local food kitch-ens. The students worked hard and potted over 1,300 seedlings.

The Juniorate—Marc was just 14 years old and living in Nashua, NH, with his mother and two sisters, when he entered the Juniorate of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in Harrisville, RI. After two years with the Brothers, and with the numbers of aspirants waning, Marc and the remain-ing few students relocated to St. John’s Residence in Woonsocket.

Mount—Following the move to St. John’s Residence, Marc and the others began their studies at Mount Saint Charles; it was here that they would remain for the rest of their formative years. While studying at Mount, Marc and Br. Robert Croteau, SC (now the Provincial) became friends, a friendship which endures to this day. At the time, Marc’s favorite uncle, Br. George Ernest, SC was teaching physical science and applied physics at Mount and also served as the rink’s Zamboni driver. While at Mount, Marc ex-celled. He was named editor of the ‘Hilltopper’ and also spent time working on the infamous ‘Hillstomper’. During his junior year, Marc served as a member of the Mount Math Team and won the chemistry trophy during statewide competition.

Education—Following gradu-ation from Mount, Marc would go

M O U N T S A I N T C H A R L E S A C A D E M Y

one to earn his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University (1974). He majored in criminal psychology and was fortunate to have the opportunity to study under the influential behaviorist B.F. Skin-ner who served on the faculty. He would graduate from Harvard magna cum laude with highest honors in psychology. Following Harvard he would head west to study at Stanford University (1977). He earned his MBA, paying his way through with California State and Stanford University Fellowships.

Career—Currently serving as Chief Operating Officer of Estuate Inc. in Sunnyvale, CA, Marc manag-es all aspects of business strategy, sales, alliances, service delivery, and operations for this Silicon Valley based IT services firm. Prior to this Marc spent eleven years in mar-keting and general management with three global IT firms: Virtusa Corporation, Sierra Atlantic Inc., and Oracle Corporation.

The Gift—In the late 1990’s Marc was contacted by Br. Crote-au and asked if he would consider making a major gift to Mount. Marc was happy to do what he could for his alma mater and planned his gift using his Oracle stock. Marc made a pledge of $100,000…then the tech market took a nose dive. Marc was disappointed that he

couldn’t fulfill his pledge as he had planned but kept in touch with Br. Croteau promising to fulfill his obligation as soon as he was able. True to his word, eleven years later Marc ful-filled his pledge. In conversations which took place between Marc and Herve Richer ’74, Mount’s president, it was agreed upon that Mount would renovate classrooms in honor of Br. George Ernest .

Trust—Marc and his wife Stephanie, who reside in Cali-fornia, are the parents of a son, Christian Bernard Herbert, who recently graduated from Menlo College. In planning for the future of their family and Mount, Marc and Stephanie have taken other stock and established a trust of which Mount is a beneficiary. This is a planned gift which will assist Mount in the future; we hope the very, very distant future. If you would like to discuss a planned gift, a gift of stock, or even classroom renovation needs, as Marc and Stephanie have done, please do not hesitate to contact Donald Demers, our director of institutional advancement, at 401-769-0310 x111 or demersd@mountsaintcharles.org.

90’S MULTI-CLASS REUNIONMarc Hebert ’70 – Alumni, Friend, and Benefactor Marc Hebert a graduate from the class of ’70 has remained a true friend and supporter of Mount no matter where the road has taken him. Marc recently saw an opportunity to financial assist Mount when a former employer of his, Sierra Atlantic, in which he held shares, was sold to Hitachi Corporation. When Hitachi began paying out for the privately held shares Marc transferred 20,000 shares to the school. We were then able to sell them back to Hitachi. With the proceeds from the sale Mount has been provided the opportunity to completely renovate three classrooms (rooms 302, 304, and 306) this summer. The money will pay for new floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, windows, student and teacher desks, and presentation technology. Gail Bryson, alumni director, had the opportunity to catch up with Marc recently and learn about his life and his love of Mount.
