What It Takes Doing the Magis at Jesuit Academy

Annual Report 2015

FOR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF CHICAGO JESUIT ACADEMY “CJA is like my second family. I trust the teachers and they taught me everything I needed to know before graduation. Thank you for making this all possible. Now I’m able to continue down the right path towards a bright future. Ultimately, I’m planning to give back to the school that has made me into a man. That school is Chicago Jesuit Academy.” Shermar, Class of 2015 A Letter from the President

A.M.D.G. August 2015

Dear Friends, During a quiet moment before school recently, I had the opportunity to talk with one of our parents about her experiences at her son’s prior school. He had previously attended his neighborhood elementary school, and as he moved from third to fourth grade his mom had grown increasingly concerned about the quality of his education. At the start of fourth grade, she approached his new teacher to see if there were any enrichment opportunities for her son at the school. The teacher was kind, but struggling to manage her packed classroom of thirty-four students. She contended that with nineteen boys in her class, most days were a battle just to keep order. The teacher said she would try to find a few more challenging activities for our parent’s son, but she never did. Our parent wanted her son to go to college, and she realized he was falling away from that path. That’s when she went looking for another school and found CJA through a trusted friend. Her story mirrors the stories we have heard from several parents since the founding of CJA in 2005. It’s the story of talented, strong and capable young men who haven’t been given the chance to learn in a school with the structure, support and rigor they deserve. When these students start their studies with us at CJA, our teachers often get phone calls from their parents saying, “CJA is what my son always hoped school could be.” For many of our other families, their experiences with school before CJA were much more difficult. Some students were previously denied critical services. This was the case for a student with Tourette syndrome, whom his former principal had derisively called “bird boy” because of his involuntary verbal chirps. Other students enroll at CJA unable to read – putting them well below the third-grade grade equivalency where most of our fifth graders begin their studies at CJA. A heartbreaking number of our students and their families are also struggling to manage recent losses of loved ones to the violence in our neighborhood. This is why we are so deliberate in everything we do at Chicago Jesuit Academy. It’s why Mr. Diehl or Mr. Beckley greets each student every morning with a firm handshake while asking, “Is there anything that you need from me?” It’s not a throwaway line, but rather a heartfelt question. If a student responds with a silent shrug or presents with tear-stained cheeks, his next stop will likely be a special breakfast with Ms. Fleming – one of our amazingly dedicated social workers. If instead a student is wheezing or feverish, he’ll go directly to our school nurse, Mrs. Gilmour. Our goal is to take stock of the unique context of each student. I’m always amazed by how many students answer the question with only a warm smile and a polite, “No, thank you.” They have reservoirs of determination and courage that I don’t think I would have been able to tap when I was 10, 11 or 12 years old. Despite so many obstacles, our young men find their way to CJA ready for the challenges of a new day. … As a Jesuit school, we call this the magis – the pursuit of the qualitative “more” in the service of the universal good. The pages that follow are filled with stories about the great things that happen when our students, alumni, families, faculty, staff and friends ask themselves, “What more am I called to do in the service of others with the gifts entrusted to me by God?” I hope you join me in taking great inspiration from these stories and the beautiful ways in which so many talented people within our school community are choosing to answer that question. Thank you once again for believing in the promise of our students. In gratitude,

Matthew Lynch President Chicago Jesuit Academy Class of 2015

“You have a purpose that reaches beyond anything you, me, your parents or anyone else may even be able to distill in this moment. Still, I know for certain that you have a purpose granted from above that gives you more value than any of us can ever realize.” Mr. Blake Sercye, 2015 Commencement Speaker Grad-At-Grad Religious Award Winners Awarded to Shermar by Mr. Beckley “Shermar has chosen the greatest rule of all – to love God with all his heart, with all his mind and with all his soul, and to love his neighbor as himself.” Intellectually Competent Awarded to Calyle by Mr. Diehl “Three things will always stick with me about Calyle: how he is humble enough to ask Loving questions and follow-up questions, how much time and effort he puts into his learning and Awarded to Shermar and Cecil by Mr. Kane how little it seems he does his work simply “Shermar and Cecil have given me extra life, because someone tells him to.” they have given each of their peers extra life, they have given this school extra life, simply through love. Through acts of affection, kindness, and care you have made CJA a better Committed to Doing Justice place and saved me many times. ” Awarded to Amari by Mr. Houlihan “I can’t even begin to name all of the ways that he makes his classroom and his school better Open to Growth places to be. He influences his classmates daily, and I’ve never seen him ask for a reward.

This didn’t come from any sense of being better than his classmates, but from a realization that they all need to learn and grow together.”

In Gratitude For Our Faculty Prince “I recognize that I’ve received a significant gift from the faculty and staff of CJA, and I look forward to sharing this gift with others. I’ll share it with my family, my friends and my classmates in high school. My education at For Our Benefactors CJA mattered.” Kristian “We’ve seen and done things that I never dreamt I would. The benefactors made that happen because they have hope and confidence in us. For Our Parents & Families They invest in young men who can do anything Tyreick they put their minds to, and I intend to honor “Our families are really important to our their investment.” achievements. By feeding us, caring for us, and loving us at our most difficult moments, our families made it possible for us to concentrate on school and learning. By partnering with CJA, our families helped us trust that the work was worth it.” High School Acceptances

Academic Growth Though the Class of 2015 entered CJA testing higher than many other CJA classes, on average they still lagged behind their peers nationwide – over half a grade behind in Language and Math and a grade and a half behind in Reading.

However, they quickly made up for lost time. By the end of fifth grade, on average, they were testing above grade level in Reading. By the end of sixth grade they had caught up in Language and by the end of seventh grade they had caught up in Math. By graduation, the Class of 2015 was testing as high as many of their future classmates in college prep high schools across the country – on average, above the tenth-grade level in Language and Math and above the eleventh-grade level in Reading.

Outside services that work with CJA students on campus offer “The students in need of long-term services have been exposed to students therapeutic services, group and individual counseling and traumatic events or are being exposed to those events now and it’s speech therapy.

For students to begin bravely addressing these issues and finding “There are a number of students dealing with issues that are a ways to overcome these obstacles, they need access to the lot deeper than what we see on the surface,” says Ms. Fleming. services within CJA – such as teachers and social workers – as “Some of those students have one-on-one therapists from outside well as outside services that partner with CJA – like counselors, therapy agencies and others receive psychoanalytic therapy from psychologists and healthcare professionals. independent therapists partnering with CJA.”

CJA’s four social workers and two social work interns offer students The consistent, quality and loving care that CJA students receive daily check-ins and weekly individual and group counseling through these professionals helps them begin to grapple with the sessions in addition to supporting students and families in times of complexity of the obstacles in front of them and chart paths to crisis.

Ms. Fleming works with rising fifth graders at significantly higher rates than the national average. Without consistent and quality care or medication, an asthma attack or other medical issue can result in a trip to the emergency room for a student and his family. In response, CJA’s School Nurse, Pam Gilmour, coordinates medical care for students by administering medication and offering immunizations at school. She has also built partnerships with a mobile dental clinic and facilitates access to family physicians, dentists and ophthalmologists who can provide ongoing care for students and their families.

In addition to a lack of quality healthcare, the options for families to purchase healthful food are sparse in the neighborhoods CJA serves. CJA’s campus itself is bounded on three sides by food deserts, which lack access to fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables.

“Nutritionally, we have issues at both ends of the spectrum,” explains Mrs. Gilmour. “Some students present with high or obese Body Mass Index (BMI) and others are underweight with low BMI. Both issues relate to dietary choices and the availability of nutritional food.”

To counteract the lack of fresh and healthful food available, Mrs. Gilmour manages the relationship with CJA’s food provider ensuring that the breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack provided at school include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.

“My goal is to help our students learn how the decisions they make today affect their health tomorrow, next week and as adults. By the
