A small fire that damaged a room housing gym uniforms and school supplies left an open spot in the commons/cafeteria area and the Mothers’ Club, led by Mina Harrigan, agreed to underwrite start-up costs and officially sponsor the Shop.
Initially a small band of mothers faithfully tended the shop that offered sweatshirts, t-shirts, warm-up pants, homemade cookies, lollipops and much more.

It was a year for all of us associated with Benilde-St. Margaret’s to be able to work together toward the goal of improving the body, spirit and mind of the students who attend our highly rated Catholic school.
We are both inspired and humbled by our roles as president and board chair.
We are inspired because we have the opportunity to meet with students, faculty, staff, parents, donors, and friends who are passionate about excellence and innovation in our school. When we walk into the classrooms, we see inspiring aspects of 21st century teaching – collaboration, teachers responding to ideas and personalities, and students exchanging opinions and experiencing learning together.
We are humbled because the responsibility for assuring that our faculty, and our financial resources, are meeting the educational needs of our students today and in the future is challenging. BSM must provide our faculty with the means to: teach to the Googled learner; work with a student body that’s increasingly diverse; prepare students to compete for jobs in a global marketplace where communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creative problem solving are the “new basics;” and use sophisticated tools to measure student learning and fine tune instruction.
During the year donors gifted over $2,600,000 to BSM and there was a record increase in the percentage of alumni providing support to the school. Benilde-St. Margaret’s was blessed to grant over $1,300,000 in financial aid—a number we want to double by 2020. Donors also provided the funds to refurbish classrooms, make resources available for teachers to gain additional instruction, and complete the renovation of the track and field events area.
It is a privilege to work for Benilde-St. Margaret’s whose mission is “to develop our student's highest potential in mind, body, and spirit.” With that privilege comes a duty to be accountable, transparent and fiscally responsible. Through this annual report, we believe we continue to maintain our commitment to all three of those areas.
We invite you to take some time to browse through our website, www.bsmschool.org, and find out more about who we are and what we do. On behalf of Benilde-St. Margaret’s leadership, faculty and staff, thank you all for your ongoing commitments to BSM.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bob Tift ‘71 and Rod Jordan
