Educating the Body, Mind and Spirit of Worcester’s Underserved Boys

Beannual reportthe 2009 Change “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

–Mahatma Gandhi

Dear Friends of Nativity, Faculty and Staff A Nativity education, at its most elemental, is about seeing the world through a new set of eyes. 2008-2009 School Year We ask our boys to radically alter their perception of what is possible in life. Put another Matthew Brunell, Esq. way, we ask our boys to now see themselves as individuals who reason thoughtfully, who President act compassionately, and who lead justly. We ask them to see the world as one filled with David Roach countless opportunities, and not a world of indifference and marginalization. Principal In the same vein - as a friend in this mission - I like to think that Nativity might also help Sean Dillion you see the world through a set of new eyes, through a prism of hope. You have joined us Assistant Principal in promoting a simple, hopeful, time-tested truth: life, family, and community can all be Father Simon Smith, S.J. improved through hard-work, courage and persistence. Admissions Director & Chaplain That being said, it has not been an easy year for hope-seekers. This past year, we have seen Melissa Zangari bulls morph into bears and lifestyles change, all seemingly overnight. And yet, Nativity Advancement Director has continued to be a source of hope. Consider a few of this year’s achievements: Philip Schneider  Our school entered into an incredible new space in January, moving into a facility Business Manager that more fully compliments our comprehensive educational programs. For example, Alexander Audette the new space allowed for Saturday tutoring classes for rising high school seniors, Teacher preparing them for the SAT. It has given us institutional site stability, at a reasonable Robert Cording cost and in a glorious new environment.

To that end, we are grateful & Teacher to a number of generous donors who have established full-scholarships for Nativity students at Providence College, College of the Holy Cross and Becker College. Nativity Fellows  Six years into our Nativity Fellows/Lead Teacher teaching-model, we continue to see Brian Duval results here and beyond. The model is based upon the recruitment of talented recent Alison Emery college graduates, the development of these teachers with assistance from Assumption Sarah Fontaine College and Clark University, and the retention of successful urban educators as lead Helen Horan teachers. This past year, we introduced and committed to a structured co-teaching Susanna Lynch model, drawing even more from the deep reservoir of talent that our teachers possess. Gregory Sclama It is also with pride that I write how over 90% of the two-year graduates of the Nativity Beth Sullivan fellowship currently work in education and a remarkable 70% are currently working in Board of Trustees urban education.

Summer session aims to empower students to realize that they are capable of making a positive difference in their community. Guided by a different theme each year - this year’s was Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “Be the change you wish to see in the world” - students spend their summer building up their academic ability and giving back to the community from which they come. Students take rigorous math and English courses in the mornings and work on community service projects in the afternoons. This summer, students rotated through three community service projects. One group worked to alleviate hunger by volunteering at a Heifer farm outside the city and at a food pantry within the city. Another group spent time reading to and organizing games for younger children at various day camps. Still another group learned from veterans about service and This session helped me the readjustment process. remember all of the things I learned last year. If it wasn’t for summer session, I would have a much harder time starting the next school year.

I learned how to give back to the community and the importance of it.

I overcame my fear of falling out of the raft while white water rafting.

During the summer, we read this really cool book called That Was Then, This Is Now, which tells us the story of two best friends who were like brothers until they started growing apart. It was one of the best books I ever read.

Though that thought is scary, there is also much to be learned from what happened. Racism will always be a problem in our world unless we expose ourselves to an open, tolerant environment and receive an education so that we don’t remain ignorant. Thankfully, I’ve experienced both of these lessons in my years at Nativity School. Nativity has allowed me to be in an open, tolerant environment. I spent eleven hours a day for 180 days a year with the thirteen other Nativity men in my class. We all have different lives and different backgrounds, but our differences have allowed us to become closer. Each and every one of them have become more than just friends; they are more like brothers. Without these thirteen gentlemen who are graduating with me, my two years at Nativity would not have been the same. I thank my classmates for being there for me and making life easier. They’ve taught me to not be the quiet one who separates himself from the crowd, but the one who is always involved and a part of a community with others.
