Marymount School Celebrates Distinguished Athletic Director
By David Beltran
Monika Anderson, an athletic teacher and director at Marymount School New York City, recently retired after twenty-five years at the school. She was honored at an All-School Mass at Saint Ignatius Loyola Church at Park Avenue and 84th street, attended by the entire school, faculty, and parents. A chorus of students sang Awake, Awake, a composition by Haugen. Headmistress, Concepcion R. Alvar, gave the welcoming remarks and underscored the character and integrity of Anderson, which, “have touched all of us.” Alvar continued, “Anderson was the first to congratulate, the first to console, she is beloved, compassionate, and kind, with an outstanding sense of humor and dry wit.”
There was a luncheon following the service at the new campus at 116 East 97th street. #
