I am humbled to announce that we successfully completed The Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign and surpassed the $26.8 million dollar goal thanks to the generosity of our community. This Campaign allowed Stone Ridge to transform our learning environment in order to meet the dynamic needs of the School’s educational program. This significant project created a campus that serves the heart, mind, and soul of our entire community. 

The Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign has been more than a fundraising effort; it has served as a promise to invest in the future of our girls. We are grateful for all of you who have given generously to this project. Your philanthropic contributions have transformed the campus, enabling the School to embrace the opportunities and challenges of 21st century education with the same innovative spirit that inspired St. Madeleine Sophie Barat to empower each child to capitalize on her unique potential. 

Warm regards,

Sincerely,

Catherine Ronan Karrels ’86
Head of School

As campaign chairs, we want to thank you for your generous investment in the Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign. Thanks to you, over the past five years, we have raised $26,831,310 toward our comprehensive goal of $26,800,000. Your investment enabled us to transform the School by creating a heart to campus with the new Mater Center, Shelter Hill Campus Walk, and new playgrounds. Furthermore, this Campaign enhanced current academic buildings with renovated spaces for learning and gathering.

We are truly blessed to be a part of the Stone Ridge community with our daughter Sophia and believe this is an exhilarating time to be a part of the School’s history. While Stone Ridge has always been a leading school in all-girls education in the Washington, D.C. area, the Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign allowed the School to strengthen its current mission. The impact of the campaign’s goals to educate the whole child and fulfill our promise that girls graduate confident, courageous, and compassionate women is evident in each of our students. 

Lastly, we had the privilege of working with an incredibly devoted team of volunteers whose unwavering commitment to the goals of the Cor Unum • One Heart Campaign made this fundraising effort a great success. We are grateful to all of you who have joined us on this exhilarating journey. Thank you for making this dream a reality for Stone Ridge students today and for generations to come. 

Sincerely,

Anna Marie Parisi-Trone and Robert Trone
