Notre Dame Academy 2019-20 Year in Review This Annual Report is a wonderful snapshot of how Notre Dame Academy is fulfilling its vision and mission. From the President Greetings Alumnae, Parents and Friends of Notre Dame Academy, Welcome to our Notre Damian Annual Report issue for the 2019-20 school year. We began the year with much hope and enthusiasm for another year of educational excellence at NDA and we ended with something quite unexpected-our first ever Remote Learning @ NDA program. This learning experience was something brand new and challenging as we all responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet our hope did not disappoint as our school community embraced this unprecedented experience with all the creativity and hard work that has defined excellence at NDA for generations. This issue of the Notre Damian documents that excellence in highlighting the many successes of our students, faculty, staff and alumnae. These many stories of success are due to the hard work and dedication of all who embrace the Notre Dame way. At Notre Dame Academy we focus on preparing our young women for success in their family, community and professional lives and this issue abounds with examples of that. We also acknowledge our many donors and benefactors who support our NDA community with such amazing generosity. True to the charism of our sponsors, the Sisters of Notre Dame, these alumnae, current and past parents, business leaders and friends of NDA demonstrate the commitment to giving back and paying it forward. The many gifts to the annual fund, scholarship programs, our annual Gala and raffle and numerous projects and campaigns make it possible for NDA to carry on our tradition of excellence even in the most challenging of times. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all who support our school. I am sure many of us are celebrating Christmas in a much different way than we have in the past. However what is not changed is a spirit of hope that we all feel as we rejoice in the birth of our Lord. That same spirit has permeated the halls of the Academy over this past year and contributed greatly to the stories of success found in these pages. It was certainly fitting that our school theme last year honored the first educational principle of the SND’s – the centrality of our Good and Provident God! God’s goodness was certainly alive and well as we rose to the challenge of the year with the loving support of so many! We are grateful to all whose hard work, dedication an
