Congratulations to our very own Sr. Ellen Convey, IHM, who was honored with the first annual Robert Molyneux, S.J., Award today by Saint Joseph’s University’s Center for Urban and Catholic Education. “The award will be given each year to a Philadelphia educator who has made exceptional advances in innovation and efficacy for Catholic schools — capturing the essence of the magis — to do something of deeper worth, in the current moment, for the greater need.” Well-deserved recognition, Sr. Ellen! Read Saint Joseph's University's full write up.

“Residents in the inner-city are not as involved in the stock market,” Gesu trustee Paul Welch explains to the library full of 8th graders. “As you grow, you can help others learn about it. It’s about giving back—helping the community and your neighbors.” 

This year, Welch, a senior research analyst and partner at PENN Capital Management, brought a variation of a Chicago-based school investment education program to Gesu. In November, Gesu’s 8th grade students began with a $2,000 investment. Each “investor” selected a stock of interest to them with the goal of making money as a class gift to Gesu School. Over the course of the project, Welch tracked the simulated performance of the students’ portfolio, and taught the students ins and outs of investing.
