Responding with hope and education
The entire community at Mount Saint Charles Academy is responding to the coronavirus outbreak with an extraordinary response that puts students’ learning and social and emotional needs first.
Administrators and teachers alike made it possible for Mount to be one of the first schools in Rhode Island to launch online classrooms and learning to ensure the community’s safety. Our teachers, students, and staff have led the way in building a community that adheres to the Mount Saint Charles mission.
Mount feels strongly that learning is a social process and that our school community is integral to our success. And while virtual schooling is not ideal, we have together developed a structure that allows to continue the learning process seamlessly.
To that end, the learning community at Mount has embraced four key pillars to ensure success, regardless of technology:
- Learning requires individual effort and commitment
- Academic integrity is essential
- Respect of the learning environment is very important
- There will be challenges, and it is our responsibility as a community to support each other in this process
For more about how proactively Mount has responded to support online learning, you can ready WPRI’s article here:
“Thanks to all of the teachers and leadership team for keeping our kids connected and focused. You really have impressed us. Thank you!“
Staying connected to students through education
Our students have continued their education without missing a beat, via both face-to-face online instruction and independent learning tasks and assignments. Mount students continue to start their day at their usual time, beginning with announcements and prayers before moving into their classrooms. By giving students a consistent schedule to follow, we are able to support our community’s academic needs while balancing the emotional and social needs of our students, their families, and our teachers and staff. The results speak for themselves – in the first week of online learning, our attendance rate for was greater than 99%!
Our classes are being taught in the face-to-face online environment offered by Google Classroom. Assignments are shared through the Mount portal – exactly the same way they would be under normal circumstances. And Wednesdays have been designated independent learning days – there is no direct teacher instruction, but teachers are available to help students as needed while they work on their assignments throughout the day.
Every single day that students learn counts as a school day, and count toward graduation requirements.
Mobilizing Students to Help
Mount students are no strangers to giving back, and they have stepped up again and again. Many have signed on to become Virtual Peer Assistants, and will be manning the Virtual Learning Center and helping other students with their learning and assignments.
Administrators, Teachers, and Staff Are Connected
We are keeping connected in similar ways to the way we would under normal circumstances. Our faculty meet-ups have moved online, and we now have remote office hours. Our administrators and teachers are also connecting with colleagues across the state, sharing their experiences and helping others adjust to an online learning environment.

Social-emotional support for all students
The social-emotional health is part of our everyday mission at Mount, and in the face of this crisis, there are unique challenges and opportunities. Mount school counselors have been proactive in developing tools and offering support to students and families, making sure that they are available all day and scheduling virtual appointments for those students who need them.
In addition, school counselors have assembled numerous resources that support a wide range of student needs. These resources are made available via the Mount student portal and students and families are notified directly when new resources are made available. These resources include:
- tips about successful online learning
- guidance for talking about and preparedness in the current crisis
- updates about Mount
College Readiness
Despite the unique environment we find ourselves in, students and school counselors are continuing to work together toward preparing for college, particularly for juniors and seniors. That includes everything from SAT and AP testing preparation, college research and inquiries, and financial aid applications.

2020 Mount Saint Charles Winter Sports Awards - CheerleadingBrother Lee Barker, S.C.
(née Eugene Colon Barker)
BROTHER LEE BARKER, S.C., 92, a resident of Mobile, Alabama since 1998, passed into eternal life at the Mobile Infirmary on the Feast of the Annunciation, Wednesday, March 25, 2020. Brother Lee, born Eugene Colon Barker on September 22, 1927 to the late Dr. Charles Barker of Lockport, LA, and the late Aline Coulon of Thibodaux, LA, was a native of Thibodaux, Louisiana. He is also preceded in death by his brother and sister, Charles Barker and Pamela Barker Dupont, respectively.
As a pre-novice, Brother Lee entered the formation program for the Brothers of the Sacred Heart on September 9, 1945 at Metuchen, New Jersey, and there he professed first vows on August 15, 1947.
The Brothers’ chapel at Saint Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, MS, was the site of his final vows on June 10, 1953, and in 2017 there was a great celebration when Brother Lee marked the 70th anniversary of his first profession.
During his years in ministry, Brother Lee served as teacher, coach, Junior Master, Principal, Provincial Councilor, Provincial, Vocation Director, Local Religious Superior, Director of Residency, and Guidance Counselor. He ministered to young people in the Bronx, NY; Alexandria, LA; Metuchen, NJ; Daphne, AL; New Orleans, LA; Bay St. Louis, MS, and, since 1998, in Mobile, AL. But through most of it, Lee was the consummate magician, always having a trick or two (or more) in the pack he wore on his waist, and working magic in the lives of young people for over 72 years. Whether he was teaching a class, administering a school, or helping a young person overcome homesickness, Brother Lee had a profound influence on everyone with whom he came into contact. He will long be remembered not only as a skilled water ski instructor and discernment facilitator, but as a GIANT in the Province for his leadership, prayerfulness, warm smile and southern charm. To many, he epitomized what it meant to be a Brother of the Sacred Heart.
Funeral services for Brother Lee will be postponed until such time as the pandemic has passed and we can gather to properly remember, pray for and celebrate our Brother.
Our Sur la Glace figure skaters are missing the ice these days! They are keeping up with their off-ice conditioning, meeting virtually with Coach Sarah daily, and today they had the opportunity to chat on Zoom with 3x National Champion and Olympic Bronze medalist Ashley Wagner! They asked Ashley questions and discussed everything for her Olympic experience, to training techniques, to navigating social media. Thank you Ashley for being a great role model for our skaters during this difficult time!!

Mount Saint Charles Academy earns continued accreditation
from New England Association of Schools and Colleges
WOONSOCKET, R.I., March 26, 2020 – Growing enrollment, innovative academic programs, effective planning and decision making have helped Mount Saint Charles Academy earn another 10-year accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the school announced today.
Accreditation is a crucial assurance of quality to families of prospective students, teacher candidates, foundations, and colleges. It confirms that Mount offers a quality education with comprehensive curriculums, adequate resources, and processes to ensure constant improvement. The NEASC is one of six regional accrediting agencies which are recognized by the US Department of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
In notifying Mount of its decision, NEASC commended the entire school community for moving decisively to improve enrollment and stabilize finances, even though that involved some hard choices.
“Though the actions required to bring about greater financial stability and increased enrollment to Mount Saint Charles have involved difficult decisions, the administration has certainly met the school’s challenges directly and efficiently,” NEASC wrote in its certification letter.
The evaluation team also praised Mount’s efforts to balance class sizes and teacher responsibilities, and to improve communication across different parts of the school community.
Mount’s faculty and staff were commended for embodying and animating the mission of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart to make students known, valued and treasured. The school was also commended for innovating academic programs and co-curricular offerings and transforming the physical footprint of the campus to meet evolving needs while preserving the historic heart of the school.
The accreditation process included visits by NEASC staff and volunteer examiners and a detailed self-evaluation. The process evaluated the school’s governance, enrollment, curriculum programs, students’ experiences, availability of resources, among other factors.
“The teachers, staff and students did a great job showing the evaluation team what Mount Saint Charles is all about. The team was impressed by our cooperation. You don’t get praise like that unless everyone pitches in heart and soul,” said President Alan Tenreiro. “We appreciate the team’s feedback. It’s so valuable to have knowledgeable, objective outsiders confirm what we’re doing well and suggest how we can improve. It’s all about moving ahead and constantly thinking about how we can do better for the students.”
Here is our very first post for the 2020 Winter Sports Awards! Stay tuned as we will post a different sport every few days until all are posted. Today: Boys & Girls Swimming! Congratulations to all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_dyRRi4TMs&feature=youtu.be

2020 Mount Saint Charles Winter Sports Awards - Boys & Girls SwimmingRest in Peace Br. Lee BarkerBrother Ronald Hingle, Provincial, announces the passing of Brother Lee Barker: It is with much sadness that I write to inform you that Brother Lee Barker passed away Wednesday afternoon, March 25, 2020. He died peacefully at the Mobile Infirmary, a hospital in Mobile, AL, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, a feast of Our Lady. Lee always had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin. He was 92 years old.
Brother Lee entered the pre-novitiate for the New Orleans Province at Metuchen, NJ, on September 9, 1945, and professed first vows on August 15, 1947 in Metuchen, NJ. He made final vows on June 10, 1953 at Saint Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, MS. It was a great celebration when Lee marked the 70th anniversary of his first profession in 2017.
During his years in ministry, Lee served as teacher, Junior Master, Principal, Provincial Councilor, Provincial, Vocation Director, Local Director, Director of Residency, and Guidance Counselor. But through most of it, Lee was the consummate magician, working magic in the lives of young people throughout the south for over 72 years as a Brother of the Sacred Heart.
Please pray for Lee’s peaceful repose, but also for the consolation of the members of his local community in Mobile, i.e., Paul Mulligan, Celestine Algero and Matthias Amos, who were particularly close to Lee all these last years. We thank his local community for being such a support to Lee all these years, especially Brother Paul Mulligan, who faithfully and daily tended to Lee’s personal needs.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Indeed, we have lost another giant in the Province.

2020 Winter Sports Awards Night Message

2020 Winter Sports Awards Night message from the Mount Saint Charles Athletic Director Ray LeveilleEach spring Mr. Lawrence has his students in AP Literature create a Kindness Project. Mr. Lawrence says, "It consists of practicing an act of kindness and writing about it in a creative way, using some of the writing practices that the authors we studied used.The story must be true. It must show an act of kindness. It must also speak about the impact the act of kindness had on the recipient." This week we share a Kindness Project Essay by Paige Ambler. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
The Kindness Project
Life is uncertain. Life is scary. Life is unfair.
It often throws unexpected curveballs -- but, here’s the catch -- you never know how fast or how hard they will be thrown.
I have been dreaming about senior year since I can remember. Senior Prom, Senior Supper, Graduation, Convocation...each event has dominated my thoughts as I have watched my sisters experience this incredible year of their lives....the year everyone should fondly remember.
I’m disappointed to say that the remainder of my senior year has been taken from me, from us, due to the recent outbreak of a global pandemic.
Do I empathize with those battling the illness?
Of course.
Do I appreciate the health professionals who put themselves in harm’s way to heal the sick?
Absolutely.
However, my heart can’t help but break at the possibilities of not walking the halls again with my best friends, not being able to cheer them on at their senior nights -- the nights at which they should be commemorated for their four years of hard work and dedication, not celebrating with them one last time on June 7.
As 2:15 finally rolled around on my first day of online classes, my eyes grew cloudy as I shut my laptop for the day.
What now, I whispered to myself as I stared at an empty wall in my dark room.
For lack of a better idea, I walked downstairs only to find my frustrated mother working on virtual assignments for her seventh-grade students, and my unhappy sister lying on the couch wishing she was still in Barcelona.
I sat next to my sister, ignoring the sound of the TV, and looked out the window towards the sun...it was a beautiful day.
Finally, it came to me.
Let’s go for a walk.
No, I’m busy.
No, I just want to stay inside.
Fresh air would be good for all of us, I retaliated.
And it was.
While walking around the neighborhood, we exchanged more words than we had all weekend. My mother shared with us her concerns of online teaching, my sister expressed her sadness about the loss of her semester abroad, and I? I listened -- because I was not the only one falling apart, though of course that is what it felt like.
Whether it was because of Mother Nature’s beauty or my mere suggestion, the three of us laughed, smiled, bonded, and suddenly found light in what has proved to be the strangest time of our lives.
As I suggested more and more walks, days grew more bearable and smiles grew more plentiful.
Life is uncertain. Life is scary. Life is unfair.
So, to the graduating class of 2020:
I recognize your pain...I feel it myself.
But, you are not the only one suffering. You are not the only one confused. You are not the only one scared.
In the interest of your loved ones, put your uncertainties to rest and take care of them -- they need you now more than ever.
The bigger picture is out there. It took me a while, but I know you will find it too.
So, take a deep breath. Hug your mother. Chances are, she wants to see you walk across that stage just as badly as you want to.
Thank you for joining us for the Holy Rosary this morning. See you next Wednesday at 9 a.m. here: meet.google.com/qmj-zoes-fxz

MSC feels strongly that learning is a social process and that our school community is integral to our success. Virtual schooling is not an ideal situation but the structure developed will allow us to continue the learning process. To this end, students are reminded that:MSC Songs Of Comfort
Inspired by Yo Yo Ma
This past week, world renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma, began the idea of “Songs of Comfort” amid global crisis. Ma has been posting videos of himself performing short pieces and asking other musicians of all levels to do the same. Yo-Yo Ma on encouraging 'Songs of Comfort' amid global crisis: bit.ly/Yo_YoMa
We at Mount Saint Charles Academy are asking our students and members of our Mount family to join us with “MSC Songs of Comfort.” We introduced the idea to some of our students on Thursday, March 19th and we will be talking with the rest of our students next week. We are also asking any parents, teachers, alumni or friends who may be able to record a short live video performance of any ability level, to please share your “Song of Comfort” with us. We plan to have everything from our 6th grade beginners to professional musicians. One particular request is for any combination of siblings or students with their parents. We are looking for short videos or about 1 and a half minutes to 2 minutes. It also does not have to be music. Please feel free to share art, dance, drama, poetry or anything else that comes from your heart to bring comfort at this time.
Please upload all video submissions to Google Drive and share them with Brian Rowe via email at Roweb@mtstcharles.org. We will be featuring some of our submissions on the MSC Fine Arts youtube page to be shared with the Mount community.
Thank You, and may you feel God’s Grace, Peace and Comfort

Yo-Yo Ma, one of the world’s most renowned and beloved musicians, is trying to provide comfort in this time of crisis. Ma has been posting videos of himself performing short pieces and encouraging other musicians -- of all levels -- around the world to join him in offering “Songs of Comfort.” ...Provincial, Br. Ron Hingle joined MSC faculty members and our team of administrators for our virtual faculty meeting this afternoon. From his residence in Louisiana, Br. Ron led us in prayer and brought news from the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. He also praised MSC —not only for the roll out of our virtual schoolhouse— but for keeping the physical, social-emotional, and spiritual well-being of our students at the center of all we do.
Dear Mount Alumni and Friends,
I hope this note finds you and your family healthy and well. Please know we are thinking of you during this extremely challenging and uncertain time. Mount is keeping you and your families in our prayers. And if there’s anything you need, we are here.
Mount’s virtual learning plan made sure that students did not skip a beat. We were featured on WPRI Channel 12 News. Click this link to see the story: bit.ly/MSC_WPRI

Advice from a member of the class of 2020: "I am trying so hard to stay positive in a time filled with such negativity. I have been trying to find ways to stay motivated at home during virtual school. One way I do this is by changing locations if I find myself getting bored, not eating lunch near my workspace so I can give myself a break and clear my head, and trying to spend as much time as possible coming up with things that I am grateful for." Mount Pride is an understatement!

Stay tuned for details about our “MSC Teacher Home Workspace Bingo Game!” There will be a bingo board with pictures of home workspaces from our beloved MSC teachers. Each picture on the board will be numbered and students can submit their guesses via a link to a Google form.
Details coming soon in the Mount Minute and social media.

2020 Providence Journal Readers' ChoiceSocial distancing doesn’t mean you eat lunch alone at Mount Saint Charles Virtual School! Miss. Ryan decided to check to see if any students were logged in during the lunch block - they were — so she sat with them— virtually of course. ❤️
Don’t let this virtual time stop you from meeting with your school counselor! MSC school counselors are available virtually throughout the day. Can’t wait to see you soon! #gomounties
Instruction at MSC has not skipped a beat! Although our teachers miss seeing their students in classrooms and walking the hallways of MSC—-students and teachers are still able to make those personal connections via Google hangouts. Students are not simply following a series of hyperlinks on a document during their school day. Instead, they are meeting with their teachers and classmates in a virtual classroom. 👍🏻📚💻🙌🏻
Keep your school night routine tonight. Keep your routine tomorrow morning with breakfast etc. before school. Have materials out to access virtual school tomorrow. Be on time to your first class! Meet our school expectations at all times. See you online Mounties!
Remember Mount does not consider this vacation and students will be on virtual schedule immediately Monday. Listen to the Governor also about what not to do after virtual school.

These new foreign language offerings will not run if enough students do not register. Please keep that in mind as you choose classes for next year. Thank you.
Mount Saint Charles Expanding Foreign Language Opportunities for the 2020-2021 school year: Intro to Portuguese and Portuguese
Mr. Barbosa is excited to be a part of it all. "I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach Portuguese language and culture to the students of Mt. St. Charles. Portuguese is the 6th most spoken language in the world with over 260 million speakers. Rhode Island has the 3rd highest population of Portuguese Americans in the U.S, with strong populations also of Portuguese speaking Cape Verdean Americans and Brazilian Americans, making it a very relevant language in our communities across the state. The Portuguese are known not only for their language, but also for their music and delicious food. I look forward to sharing all of these wonderful aspects of the Portuguese culture with others in this upcoming school year."
Quinn Fitzgerald '22 says, “I am so excited that Mr. Barbosa is introducing a Portuguese class to Mount. I have always taken a language since I was in kindergarten and I am so excited to have a new opportunity to learn a new language with a great teacher. Even though Spanish is my main language that I’ve been learning since kindergarten, I am excited to have a new opportunity to learn a similar language that resembles Spanish.”
Coronavirus Update
March 11, 2020
We are watching carefully for changes in the coronavirus outbreak, and we want to update you with new information. Mount’s leadership was on a statewide conference call with the Department of Health earlier today. The Department of Health indicated that there is no evidence that children are more susceptible to the coronavirus and in consultation with the RI Department of Education and CDC, is not seeking to have broad closures of schools in RI.
Today, The State of RI provided guidance to schools regarding mass gatherings and activities. The State has asked schools to avoid hosting gatherings of 250 or more and to remind visitors that are sick or showing symptoms of illness to not attend events. There is additional guidance that any visitors 60 years or older or a person with underlying health conditions not attend close proximity events. The State will reassess this guidance after 2 weeks.
Please review new information and measures that our school is taking:
Mount will make hand sanitizer stations available at all smaller events and ensure that seating proximity is separated by a larger then normal distance.
Mount will limit spectator events on campus to under 250 people including the student participants for the next few weeks.
The spring athletic liturgy and blessing is cancelled.
The Winter Sports Awards Night is postponed to a later date.
The Mission Drive Music Night will be limited to 250 ticket holders and participants.

Mount families - PLEASE READ and SHARE!We are asking all of our families and friends to PLEASE SHARE this post with everyone you know. Let’s pull together as a GSCS family to help one of our own students find a kidney donor! ❤️ #TeamColtan
Coltan Tiburzi, 11 yrs old, (currently enrolled in our 5th grade) is in need of a kidney transplant and has recently been activated on the transplant list. We have known since he was 1 yr old that he would eventually need one. We are trying to avoid him having to go on dialysis. He has been managing with medications so far, but it is getting to the point where that is not going to be enough. We are hoping and praying there is someone out there who would be willing to be tested for a possible living donor for him. He has O type blood. There are no monetary costs involved for the donor. If anyone is type O blood and would be willing and able to get tested to be a possible donor for him or if you just have questions, please contact Kim at 610-217-6540 or email at ktiburzi@ptd.net. Thank you for your consideration.” ~ Kim Tiburzi, Coltan’s mother

New Course Offerings at MSC in Computer Science for the 2020-2021 School Year:
-Intro to Computing & Data Science
-Cybersecurity Fundamentals
-Game Design
-AP Computer Science A
-Drone Based Robotics with Brown University
Hear what Aryan Bhadouria '22 has to say about how the computer science programming at MSC has progressed since he started here in 7th grade: "Ever since my first year here in 7th grade, the technology at Mount has become progressively better and better. Since the introduction of google products to our classrooms, technology has been incorporated into the curriculum. I’ve been told by my guidance counselor that I’ve exhausted all of Mount’s technology courses -- however, this will never be true. Just this week, Mr. Simard told me about a drone class he is running next year in association with Brown University. This course is just one of the classes that Mount offers in partnership with local colleges and universities. Besides classes, Mount also has technology extracurriculars. I participate in and am captain of the Robotics Team, and Mount gives our team amazing resources, such as on-demand funding for any robotics parts and a 3D printer. Through Mount’s robotics program, I’ve been nominated and awarded the “FTC Dean’s List Finalist”, and I am advancing to Detroit on May 1st. I would have never had this opportunity without Mount. I am proud to be a Mountie!"

MSC is proud to announce that Aidan Turner '20 recently won first place in a statewide architectural competition which required students to design a visitor center for a submarine (the USS Cod) in Cleveland, Ohio. Students had many requirements and guidelines that they needed to follow when drafting floor plans, elevations, sections, etc. Aidan's drawings were sent on to the regional competition!
Brother Marty, Aidan's mentor and teacher for Architecture II, had the following to say about his talented student: "Aidan Turner is every teachers wish for a student. He is kind and appreciative of all that you do for him. During the school vacation he spent three afternoons and evenings working on a project for a contest organized by the National Association of Women in Construction. we got word that Aidan won 1st place in this architectural contest. Aidan will always help anyone who needs his help no matter what he needs to do for himself. Aidan is what all teachers wish for in a student."
The entire MSC community echoes Br. Marty's sentiments. Congratulations to Aidan and his family!

URI launches new Multimedia Studio Production Summer Camp for high school students and recent graduates. The program will introduce students to production skills used in a professional, state-of-the-art multimedia broadcast studio. With guidance and supervision of a broadcast industry professional, students will explore approaches to multi-camera directing, video camera operations, video and audio recording, newscast production, studio lighting, studio sets, blocking, shooting interviews, pre-production, and live and taped television production.
No previous experience in film or TV production is necessary. Students will also receive three college credits for completing the camp that are transferable to the Harrington School (and may be transferable to other institutions).
The workshop runs Monday through Friday, July 13–17, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The registration fee is $995, and lunch will be provided each day.

We are in the beginning days of the MSC Lenten Mission Drive to benefit the Robert Shitima School in Kabwe, Zambia, Africa. Over the last couple of decades Mount has partnered with the school, which is operated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, to assist them financially. Our donations have helped them build buildings, renovate and maintain facilities, provide food, improve irrigation, and secure their property. Students were asked to bring what they can because every dollar helps them exponentially. Thank you for considering a donation to help this effort. Checks should be made out to MSC with the memo for Mission Drive.https://vimeo.com/81908455

Miss. Ryan’s class chose new independent reading books during a book tasting in the library yesterday!
Congratulations to TC 419 for raising $1002.00 for the animals affected by the Australian Bush Fires. When students heard about what was happening to the animals that were in the path of the fires they knew they wanted to do something. First, they made posters to educate their classmates and teachers. Then they sold snacks during a 2 week period. TC 419 met and exceeded the goal they set for themselves. All donations went to the World Wildlife Fund and directly to the Australian BushFire Fund. Thank you to all who contributed.
The faculty and staff at MSC Academy would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Beauvais for writing the following proposal and for Cardi’s Furniture for responding to her proposal with an extremely generous donation!
“As educators, we place so much of our time and effort focusing on the social, emotional, and cognitive needs of our students. Often times we neglect the needs of the faculty and staff who give so freely of time and talents in service to their students. It is important to provide a space for teachers to be deliberate in taking time for the betterment of their own body, mind, and spirit.
As a school, we are nearing our centennial year of educating the young students of Rhode Island. Our building, although in very good shape, has parts that date back to our origin in 1924. Our faculty & staff room is one of these areas. We are looking to give it a facelift that will support this separate space for teachers and staff members to renew and refresh, to give the best of themselves and their talents to our students.”
