Fall 2016 Letter from the Director Dear Villa Maria Alumnae, Friends, and Family VIEWS of VILLA Empowering Young Women Since 1872 A magazine for alumnae, parents, faculty and friends of Villa Maria Academy Fall 2016 Letter from the Director Dear Villa Maria Alumnae, Friends, and Family, “Yes, yes, yes we do, we have spirit how about you?” This cheer has resounded on buses, fields and gyms here for generations. This fall there has been plenty of evidence that the Villa spirit is alive and well. On August 29th we welcomed 119 members of the Class of 2020. They brought with them unbridled enthusiasm for their new home away from home. Our inaugural Homecoming weekend began with the Hall of Fame dinner on Friday night, where our first class of four athletes and seven Fidelis Award recipients was inducted. Each inductee speech referenced the Villa spirit and how the school had positively influenced their lives. Even a little rain the next day couldn’t dampen the spirit of all the alumnae, their families, and current families who came out to celebrate Homecoming. Everywhere I went, I saw alumnae proudly showing their children where they went to school, while others gathered to relive the glory days. We celebrated our state champion volleyball teams in the morning and our state champion field hockey teams in the afternoon. It was truly an awesome “Villa Spirit” day. As I write this, the Thanksgiving season is upon us, and I want you all to know how grateful we are for your support. You support us with your prayers, your time as volunteers, and your monetary contributions. As we enter the holiday season, know how grateful we are for each and every one of you and for all that you do for Villa. As the year continues, I hope that you will find time to connect with us. Let us know what is happening in your lives. We want to celebrate the good times with you and support you through your challenging times. I hope that you will remember us in your prayers as we strive to continue the tradi- tion of excellence you all remember. It is challenging work but so rewarding as well. So, the next time someone says, “yes, yes, yes we do, we have spirit how about you?”, I hope you can answer with a resounding, “Yes I have spirit!” Sincerely, Kathy McCartney Director of Advancement FALL 2016 Features Villa Storms the Shore 4 Graduates, past parents and friends of Villa Maria gathered in Avalon to enjoy cocktails, light snacks, and great conversation.

  • With More Than 10 Years of Performing, You Could Say This Young Woman Has Been Given a “Coat of Many Colors”
    With more than 10 years of performing, you could say this young woman has been given a “coat of many colors”. The fabric of her life brings forth a vast array of opportunity and experience. Mary Sarah was raised in the Texas Opry circuit where she first began defining and honoring her traditional country roots. She then went on to land a major touring role with Kidz Bop at the age of 12. Combining her touring experience with her love of traditional country music gave way to an once-in-a-lifetime album – duets featuring Country Music Legend’s like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, and much more – all before the age of 18. In 2016, America embraced her on the #1 rated TV show in the country, The Voice. Her blind audition garnered her a 4-chair turn singing country’s iconic “Where The Boys Are” by Connie Francis - a tune that continues to garner standing ovations and whispers of the greatness of her mentors; Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and the likes of Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. She quickly advanced onto Team Blake. Her undeniable talent and infectious spirit have since kept her in the spotlight. Since finishing 5th on of The Voice (Season 10) & serving as The Kohl’s Greenroom Host (Season 11), the Texas ingénue’s opportunities have only expanded coming off the show to include her Grand Ole Opry debut, Ryman stage appearances touring across the United States and hosting Radio Disney's Red Carpet coverage for the CMA Awards. She has graced the iconic stage of the Opry a total of 5 times since.

  • Lessons in Leadership 2014 Outstanding Alumna Suzanne Hollis Apple ’76 and Alumnae Reflect on Learning and Leading
    SPRING/SUMMER 2014 Lessons in Leadership 2014 Outstanding Alumna Suzanne Hollis Apple ’76 and alumnae reflect on learning and leading Remembering Mary Davis Inside: Special Graduation Section - Celebrating The Class of 2014 I love data, and I spend a lot of time keeping up with the latest research in education. I have noticed a recent batch of articles that has tried to conclude that there is little to no advantage to single gender education. I think the flaw in these studies is that many virtues of girls schools can’t be measured. Nowhere is that more true than when you are talking about leadership. Any objective observer in Memphis who knows St. Mary’s will tell you they recognize and admire the leadership qualities they see in St. Mary’s alumnae. The lives and stories represented by our annual Outstanding Alumna winners, including this year’s honoree, Suzanne Hollis Apple ’76, demonstrate the significance and the subtlety of leadership. You would expect to hear from a school that is “old and improved” that leadership remains an impor- tant educational goal but that the means of arriving there is changing. As Head, I see that in two ways. First, we are encouraging a growth mindset that sees risk and failure as part of learning. More and more, we hear students talk about how they grow because they are not afraid of making a mistake. In just one example, our school-wide STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum teaches the girls, even in 1st grade, that the process of making things means finding what works after discovering what doesn’t.

    NEWS RELEASE Boot Barn Donates $11,000 to Celebrate Employee Mary Sarah's Advancing as a Top Eleven Finalist on NBC's The Voice 4/26/2016 IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/26/16 -- Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT), America's largest western and work wear retailer, is donating $11,000 in celebration of employee Mary Sarah advancing to be one of the eleven finalists on NBC's primetime singing competition, The Voice. The donation was made to a charity close to Mary Sarah's heart, the Caiden's Hope Foundation. "My brother was born prematurely at less than two pounds," said Mary Sarah. "The emotional, financial and spiritual impact of the health issues he faced, and that other families of premature babies face, can be overwhelming. Caiden's Hope Foundation is one of the few organizations that provide support to these families. I am proud to be a national ambassador for the Foundation and appreciate the donation and support the Boot Barn family has shown me on my journey as a country singer and to this important charity." Mary Sarah is a current contestant on The Voice, earning praise from all four judges. The last live episode that aired on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 announced Mary Sarah's advancement in the competition, along with ten additional talented singers. Mary Sarah has been a part of the Boot Barn family for several years. To support her life-goal of becoming a country music artist, Mary Sarah moved to Nashville and began working part-time at Boot Barn. "We are so proud of, and happy for, Mary Sarah," said Jayme Maxwell, Vice President of Marketing at Boot Barn.

  • Traction Monitoring Is Like Hard Liquor
    DIERKS BENTLEY Somewhere On A Beach Capitol Records Nashville (UMGN) TRACtion Monitoring CONTENTS Is Like Hard Liquor — Charts Dear Readers; The TRACtion monitoring system is kind of like hard liquor. At first it may be a bit hard to swallow but, in a while, the taste gets better as does, perhaps, your mood. TRACtion shows us that many predicted airplay reports don’t coincide with the historical detection data it provides. Now, here is the part where your mood improves. TRACtion is showing that there are a lot of great programmers who are playing many different records -- both major label and indie. When you see artists like Olivia Lane, Brian Collins, Rachel Turner, and others, legitimately competing and breaking the glass ceiling by having singles in the mid-to-high 40s, it should give you inspiration. It can be done; it isn’t easy or everyone would be doing it, but it can be done. I guarantee you their teams are able to use the real airplay data from TRACtion as precision GPS to see where they can work their social media, book gigs and build fans. If you aren’t already using TRACtion as your GPS, you are losing ground to your competition. PAGE 2-4 One thing I want to point out is that many of the TRACtion monitored stations are dually reporting to other trades. — In TRACtion, we are currently monitoring 495 country radio stations 24/7. Their airplay data is available to all Chart Breakouts who have requested to be added to the beta group of users.
