Move along, there's nothing to see here...

CSH is Disneyland North


Read your blog everyday.


Great work.


Just wondering about today's post - Are you implying that Sr. Magnetti was removed from her position for some unscrupulous reason. Just curious.

Thx,
Bill Griffin


COMMENT:


Dear Mr. Griffen,


Thank you for your dedicated readership.


I sincerely appreciate it. I know at times it is difficult to read because of spelling and gramme errors cause by my vision impairment.


I have been told a rumor, but can not confirm it.


CHS is a very tight knit and close community and it is not easy to confirm the rumor in this very uniform group, but you must admit that it is strange that Sister Joan Magnetti is avoiding the press at a time that everyone wants to celebrate her good works and provide a swan song that she would always remember.


I certainly am not aware of Sister Joan Magnetti ever being treated badly or burned by the local Greenwich media.

Article Launched: 10/22/2008 03:26:55 PM EDT


Convent of the Sacred Heart's headmistress, Sister Joan Magnetti, will retire as head of the all-girls school in June, after nearly two decades at the helm, the school has announced. Magnetti, who has worked as the backcountry school's headmistress since 1990, will be replaced by Pamela Juan Hayes, a 1964 graduate who has also worked as a member of the school's faculty and administration. "We are delighted that Pam, a graduate of our school, has been chosen," Magnetti said in a statement. "Her love and mission of Sacred Heart and her experience as a Sacred Heart student, teacher and administrator solidifies the past and gives great hope for the future." Magnetti declined to be interviewed about her retirement plans.

There Are Many Good Works Occurring At CHS

But The Odd Departure Of Sister Joan Magnetti Is Troubling.

If You Will Notice Kathy Failla , director, public relations and communications at CHS has put a up on a one sentence blurb on the the school's website about Sister Joan Magnetti leaving in the article about and how Pamela Juan Hayes will be the new Headmistress of CHS.

19 Years Of Sevice Reduced To One Sentence

Personally I Find This Very Stange.


Pam Juan Hayes - New Incoming Head of School

By Kathy Failla , director, public relations and communications
10/16/2008. Greenwich -

The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Pamela Juan Hayes '64 as the next Head of School for Convent of the Sacred Heart beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Board reached its unanimous decision following a national search and with the enthusiastic participation of more than 400 parents, alumnae, faculty and staff, students, and friends. She will succeed Joan Magnetti, rscj, who announced in March that she would step down in June 2009, after 19 years as headmistress.

Pam will bring to our School her passion for Sacred Heart education, her belief in the importance of an all girls' environment, her wide-ranging expertise with Sacred Heart schools, and her devotion to the legacy of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and to the Goals and Criteria that guide our community.

Pam brings a strong record of experience in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools as a faculty member and an administrator for three Sacred Heart schools - Greenwich, New York and San Francisco. In 2000, Pam was appointed to her current position as Director of the Schools of the Sacred Heart at San Francisco.

Hopefully, The CHS Board And Kathy Failla Will Wake Up And Properly Honor Sr. Magnetti's Service Even If There Might Be An Estrangement.
