“The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.”this phrase is posted in a very prominent location in the hallway of the beren middle School. all of our middle School students pass by it several times every day. it is there as a word of encouragement and a word of warning. the lesson we all know is that it takes work to be successful. it takes work to make attaining something special to feel valuable. it takes work to achieve something worthwhile. this is a lesson that we all know and understand and that is why we are intentional about celebrat-ing the work and the success that our students achieve every year. as i look through the pages of this issue and read about what our students have accomplished during this past year, i am amazed. i am not amazed that they achieved so much, but that they achieved so much and with such consistent excellence. Whether it is earning a recognition on the honor roll, or an outside award, or an academic competition, or an athletic title, or participating in a performance, all of these endeavors took effort.

all of these successes were the result of hard work by the stu-dents, and admittedly, they had some fun along the way. and they pursued these deeds with the support of their teachers, their parents, and their classmates. it is only through that combination that all of this was possible.

So, enjoy this issue of celebration and recognition. it was a wonderful year.

Thoughts from an Administrator and Parent

many people ask me why preschool is important. they wonder if it is worthy of their time and resources. after all, “isn’t preschool just play?”

Research has identified the first three years of life as the most signifi-cant part of human development. during these years the foundation for all future relationships and learning is formed. this foundation is built when the relationship between the parent or primary caregiver and the child is rooted in nurturing love and trust. this formation of secure attachment is critical, and when it is not established in a child, it is very difficult to reproduce at a later time. This time of life is precious and fragile. in my opinion there is not a more important stage of life to which our society should focus resources and care. The brain is more receptive to learning language in the first six years than any other time in life. this is the time in human development when language brings clarity to thinking…where curiosity and exploration find meaning in words…where children not only ask, “Why?” but are able to articulate thoughts and ideas of their own understanding. language is the foundation for learning, and it de-velops most substantially before a child enters kindergarten.at Wichita collegiate School, we believe that helping children be-come readers is one of the most important things teachers do. We love showing children how to unlock the code of our language. in preschool we focus on expressive and receptive oral language, pho-nemic awareness, letter and sound relationships, listening compre-hension, and vocabulary. When children are ready to segment words and write, they are supported to work at their own pace. most children do not learn to read automatically; they need our direct in-struction and support. the national association for the education of Young children’s position statement is a helpful resource to learn more. http://www.naeyc.org/files/naeyc/file/positions/WWSSLearn-ingtoreadandWriteenglish.pdf. Watching children learn to read is truly a special experience—one of which our teachers never tire. in addition to enhancing language and literacy, Wichita collegiate School nurtures the whole child. the curriculum is designed to en-courage children to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cog-nitively. through thoughtful classroom design, meaningful curricu-lum, and a wide array of learning experiences, each child’s growth and development is carefully guided by loving, nurturing teachers. fifty years ago a group of parents had a vision for a quality early learning environment that would provide rich learning experiences for their children. they held the early childhood years in high re-gard and set the standard for excellence from the very first year. A partnership was formed between the home and school with a shared vision to give children the best possible start in life; the home provid-ing the “roots” and the school providing the “wings.” to this end we remain dedicated now and in the future.

A p AREN T ' S pERSEpEC T I vE

before we had children, my husband Wade and i discussed how important education had been to each of us and our desire to provide the best possible education for our children. We believe

a strong preschool experience provides a base for all future learning. When our oldest daughter, claire, was a year old we began searching locally for classrooms for two-year-olds. after observing at collegiate, we knew it was an environment where our daughter would be comfort-able, well cared for, and taught age-appropriate skills. We now have two daughters enrolled at collegiate. our youngest daughter, Keira, has just completed the great beginnings class and claire will be completing her last year in early childhood this year as a kindergartner. our decision to enroll our children in collegiate preschool is reinforced each time our daughters return home practic-ing new skills or demonstrating new knowledge they have acquired. We appreciate their budding skills in counting, math, letter recognition, rhyming, and writing. Keira loves to play calendar and create rhyming words as we drive in the car. claire is highly motivated to write down important messages throughout the day and diligently works to sound out each word. each of the girls' teachers have approached teaching with a reflection of his/her own personal style/interests. in addition to the basic elements of education, we continue to be pleased when claire and Keira demonstrate an unexpected bit of knowledge. Keira started counting in Spanish from one to ten at the beginning of last year. We assumed she learned this from her sister until her teacher mentioned they included this in their daily classroom routine. claire frequently uses higher level vocabulary (e.g. predator, motion sensor, etc.) that she has learned during the weekly themes. We have also ap-preciated when their teachers point out specific areas of interest the girls have noticed in the classroom. claire was drawn to a poster about native americans in her classroom. after her teacher told us about this, we were able to supplement her learning at home in this area. Both of our girls have benefited from music and library as well. They enjoy listening to music and identifying musical instruments and styles of music. both of our girls enjoy reading books at home and have en-joyed hearing new stories in their classrooms. Keira's teacher told us she would excitedly jump up and down and clap her hands when she saw the librarian come into her classroom. Keira has not yet partici-pated in P.e., however, claire has learned many new skills in this class. She is very proud to be able to throw a frisbee, skip, tie her own shoes, and catch a ball without using her body. these were challenging but

rewarding tasks for her to practice and master. claire has also learned a great deal about other countries in P.e. She has a greater understand-ing of the world beyond herself and an appre-ciation for other cultures. the schedule at col-legiate also allows for free play during recess, which we firmly believe is an essential part of the preschool experience. finally, teachers and administrators have been helpful in supporting our job as parents. When claire transitioned from half-day to full-day, she struggled with eating lunch in the lunchroom. collegiate staff provided supportive suggestions to make the transition as smooth as possible.What stands out most to us as parents? at col-legiate, social and personal relationships are fostered between all children and adults, a vari-ety of opportunities are available for parents to volunteer and to be as involved as they choose, teachers and administrators listen and respond promptly to assist in problem-solving when concerns arise, and collegiate teachers are well trained and demonstrate a love of teaching. in our opinion, the collegiate early childhood staff consistently goes above and beyond what is ex-pected for a preschool education.We continue to choose collegiate each year as our daughters have not only developed a love for their friends and teachers, but also a curiosity and love of learning—all of which we hope will last them a lifetime.

Looking Back at 2012-2013lOWER SCHOOl

• Lo ok i ng back at 20 12 -20 1 3 •

another year has flown by and the Lower School staff and students are proud of the accomplishments made over the past nine

months. from new ideas to revisiting old ones, we believe the year to be a huge success!

in august, the lower School staff was retrained in the use of Kagan cooperative learning strategies during a two-day training. during the training the staff learned about the most recent brain research on how students acquire knowledge and how to help them take it to a deeper level of understanding. they also learned about cooperative learning structures that engage all learners in a topic and hold all students accountable in a safe and supportive environment. finally, the staff learned about how to create and encourage a class cli-mate that is both welcoming and non-judgmental. in order to help the teachers increase their success with these concepts, a Structure-a-month club was creat-ed to offer teachers the chance to review cooperative learning structures and get tips and tricks towards better implementation. in addition, each teacher was coached once a month on the use of these structures during a lesson being taught to students. the coach-ing occurred in the moment so teachers could apply the new learning immediately. over the course of the year, it was amazing to see how much the teachers grew in their understanding of the use of structures and in their confidence to use the structures within our challenging curriculum. We will participate in more training this fall and will continue coaching teachers as well.

the 4th grade teachers embarked on a completely new unit last fall called “the heritage Project.” during this project, 4th grade students spent several weeks in-vestigating their family tree, their family culture, and what experiences made their family unique. Students were expected to interview many different members of their family and conduct research to help them bet-ter understand where their families came from and how this history has impacted the person the student is today. this project culminated with a heritage fair being held in the multi-Purpose room. each student

filled a suitcase with mementos and special items that reflected their new learning about their families. They also created a notebook of artifacts to be used as pri-mary and secondary sources. finally, with the help of mrs. Swearingen, students created a windowpane that contained a self-portrait, family crest, poem, and a weaving representing the colors of their family’s country of origin. The final project was a great suc-cess thanks to the hard work of everyone involved!

the lower School staff works very hard to make sure that the curriculum we are delivering every day is at the level our students and parents expect. in order to do this, we must continue to learn about new research in education and consider how that research applies to us here at collegiate. this year we focused on literacy and each grade level team participated in a profession-al book study. during their team time each week, the grade level teams met to discuss the book they were studying and how its principles applied to their class-rooms. the three books that were part of the study were: The Daily Five: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades, Reading Essentials: The Specifics You Need to Teach Reading Well, and Strategic Reading Groups: Guiding Readers in the Middle Grades. all three books helped us build our background knowledge in the best practices of reading instruction. many of the ideas presented in the books were implemented in our classrooms this year and more will begin to take shape next year as we continue to consider the needs of our students and how to help each student reach their highest potential in the area of reading.

this fall, the staff will continue working on curricu-lum mapping, but will move into the area of math-ematics. We began some mathematics training this spring and will continue with that professional devel-opment theme next year as we learn more about the latest research in mathematics instruction. We have every confidence that next year will be the best one yet!

• middLe schooL highL ights 2012-2013 •When I reflect on this year in Middle School, I think

about our amazing students and teachers and all they have accomplished. the school year began with every-

one excited but a little nervous about what the one-to-one laptop initiative would mean for both students and teachers. Would 5th graders be able to manage their own computers? Would the teach-ers use the technology regularly to enhance learning? how would our deep, rich hands-on curriculum provided by caring teachers be impacted?

the transition to a one-to-one program has been smoother than we could have imagined. Students had little difficulty learning how to use their new technology. Our fifth graders probably had the fewest issues of any grade in getting accustomed to their com-puters. the ability for students to create, communicate, and col-laborate has been dramatically increased due to the availability of this new tool. Students blogged about the books they read from the perspective of one of the characters, they created phenom-enal multi-media presentations on a regular basis, they learned how to organize themselves electronically using google apps and onenote, they produced and directed movies, and they learned how to interact online through digital citizenship lessons. as with anything new, this initiative was not without glitches, but all of us—teachers, students and administrators—learned much about troubleshooting, problem-solving, and persistence.

from day one of the school year, teachers were using technology in their classrooms to enhance what they have always taught. and although they were using technology regularly, students were still engaged in rich, active learning: debating, creating, putting on plays and musicals, interacting with their classmates and teachers, designing, writing, giving speeches, and getting their hands messy during art and science labs. one of the primary differences is that now students and teachers have the world at their fingertips and are able to explore the questions that arise during the process of inspired teaching.

as you peruse this issue of the connection, you will see where our middle School students shined in academics, athletics, and the arts. middle School students and faculty strive every day towards excellence, and we are so pleased by what they have been able to accomplish this year. it will be fun to watch the extrapolation of learning that occurs as students and teachers continue to grow in their creative use of technology.

UppER SCHOOl • 2012-2013 •

the 2012-2013 school year has come and gone, and i am reminded once again how special our Wichita collegiate community is. the upper School enjoyed a school year full

of academic successes, athletic accomplishments, beautiful artistic presentations, and throughout, a sense of pride and respect for our fellow classmates. It was a year that had too many sad and difficult tragedies, but our love and compassion for one another allowed us to heal and move forward. it is with great pride that i write this end of the year review, knowing how our entire community gave of themselves so selflessly to make 2012-2013 a great year. as much as i hate saying goodbye to seniors, the class of 2013 leaves well prepared to handle the challenges of the future. the 75 seniors this year were tremendous leaders who have left an in-delible mark on Wichita collegiate. our seniors will matriculate to 31 schools in 15 states and take with them nearly six million dollars in scholarship offers. i will take this one last opportunity to thank the class of 2013 for all that they have meant to our school; they will be missed.as soon as one school year ends the preparations for the following year begin. i am looking forward to another exceptional school year and know that the class of 2014 will lead us with their unique gifts and talents. thank you to everyone who makes Wichita collegiate the wonderful place that it is. it is an honor and pleasure to serve as head of the upper School.

~ Chris Ashbrook, Head of Upper School

the last time SaSnaK, inc. President Jon rolph spoke at a WcS graduation ceremony was at his own in 1997. Jon was President of his class,

and in that capacity, he had the honor of presenting the senior gift to the school. those in attendance en-joyed Jon's playful remarks to the man who delivered the commencement address: Senator bob dole. in his speech, Senator dole commented that the duty of a com-mencement speaker was to show up and keep it short. rolph commented that he intended to speak as long as he wanted, because, "after all, Senator, i am the President!" no one laughed harder than dole, whose unsuccessful bid for the u.S.Presidency had occurred a year earlier.after graduating from WcS, Jon continued to serve as President—of the student body at baylor university for four years. His first year election marked the first time in baylor's history that a freshman had been elected president.for the class of 2013, Jon delivered a heartfelt talk, in-terweaving his experiences at collegiate with his life since that time. he challenged the graduates to ask themselves three questions as they opened the next chapters of their lives: Who am i? Why? and who else? Jon encouraged the graduates, in light of their recently completed good life papers, to use the answers to these questions to define the significance of their lives. He also left them with four words to think about: curiosity, grace, courage, and present. Jon challenged the graduates to stay curious as they pursued their dreams; to give grace to themselves and others; to have courage, for it is in the valleys where we learn the most; and to be in the present where we discover love and hope. Jon enhanced these ideas by telling the graduates to look for truth, for healing, and for making things better. he com-mented that collegiate was a great place for academics and learning how to solve problems and how they need to learn to live with their hearts. they need to think about whom they want to become, not what do they want to do. .. .. .. .. ..as has become his tradition, headmaster tom

davis delivered his charge to the class of 2013 in a form that would be easily be remembered by

the graduates. he closed his remarks with this summary of his message:"i charge you not only to follow your heart, but let your heart lead you. Seek truth. Seek goodness. Pursue those dreams that you have. choose wisely and carefully those things you will treasure in life, for ‘where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.’"let what comes in your ear, e-a-r, become what you hear H-E-A-R, and let it define your heart, H-E-A-R-T. With no pun intended, take this message to your heart as you go from here to prove yourselves worthy."

on behalf of the class of 2013, class President Vafa behzadpour presented the class gift to the school: two new camcorders for use by the Video magazine students, a painted mural of the WcS crest, and a tree planted in mem-ory of the life and spirit of their classmate Stephen huber.

Salutatorian Jonathan go expressed appreciation to his family, his teachers, and fellow students. he urged his class-mates to pay attention to the little things that happen in life, saying, “it’s the casual, spontaneous, quirky moments that we will treasure, remember, and tell stories about.”

Valedictorian Sage farha took the opportunity to modify the valedictory speech given by a character in the movie, “Say anything.” unlike that character, who is simply scared about the future, Sage acknowledged her own nervousness but described herself as “intoxicated by the realization that our hopes and dreams have become tangible goals,” and that her “exhilaration outweighs any trepidation.”

each year at graduation, the WcS alumni association announces its choice for the distinguished alumni Service award and pres-ents the award to the recipient. this year, the alumni board invited randy love ’67 to present the award and announce a very special change to the award – the dedication and renaming of the award to honor randy Storms ’74. as mr. love noted in the announcement, perhaps the most impressive thing about randy’s life was his faith. randy was guided throughout his life by his strong faith, and the result was a rich life focused around serving and mentoring others. Perhaps no better example of a life of service exists anywhere in the collegiate community than the life of randy Storms. the WcS family will do well to remember him each year by dedicating this service award in randy’s name.this year’s recipient was allan dunne, class of 1991 and a collegiate “lifer.” as mr. love mentioned in his introduction, allan’s proudest and best accomplishment is that he is father to two children who attend collegiate – charlie (4th grade) and darcy (3rd grade). allan is a current trustee at collegiate as well as serving on the alumni board, where he was fortunate to share several years of service with randy Storms. While accepting the award allan stated that although he does not feel worthy of an award with randy’s name on it, receiving it will inspire him to try a little bit harder to be of service.

President of the WcS alumni association Patrick ritchie (WcS class of 2002) presented to headmaster davis a check for $75,068.31, a record amount raised by the alumni association, to benefit the Alumni Endowment, which helps to provide tuition assistance for academically qualified students who might not oth-erwise be able to attend WcS.

collegiate 4th graders put on a purrfectly wonderful version of The Aristocats this spring. the musical, based upon the 1970 Disney animated film of the same name, follows edgar the butler and his efforts to get rid of the cats who stand to in-herit the estate of his employer, retired opera singer madame adelaide bonfamille. edgar's dastardly deeds are for naught, and it is he, rather than the cats, who is stuffed in a trunk and shipped to timbuktu. the cat-napping tale was pure cat-nip for the delighted audienc-es. congratulations to lower School music teacher loni Griffin and cast and crew for a great production!

the middle School drama program closed out the 2012-2013 year with performances of the 5th and 6th grade play Larceny and Old Lace. based on the immortal broadway play Arsenic and Old Lace, our piece told the hi-larious story of two old ladies who prefer to take their casino winnings at gunpoint rather than go through the uncertain and time-consuming process of wagering! their latest ca-per gets them into trouble, especially when their criminal nephew shows up, but their honest nephew saves the day. liberty Sementelli and mia estivo wowed the audience as the two spinsters, and gabe fisher and malachi Watson handled the good and bad nephews.

On the first day of the month of March in an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race sud-denly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence. this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do, in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places… little Shop of horrors.

the month was march, the year 2013, and the place was galichia auditorium as the 7th and 8th grade performed the Little Shop of Horrors to packed houses. under the leadership of barb Schoenhofer, audra lee, and ruth Powell, the students rehearsed and danced for six weeks, overcoming unforeseen meteorological problems. connor caughlin wowed audi-ences in his debut role as the naïve and rather awkward Seymour. taylor cusick-Wetta brilliantly played the bleached blonde love interest of Seymour’s life. the all-singing and dancing energetic trio of ellen mines, lauren cusick-Wetta, and Tiffany Ruan kept us abreast of the story. In his first year at Collegiate, Will Lammers entertained us with his hilari-ous interpretation of mr. mushnik, and the sadistic dentist orin Scrivello was masterfully played by logan mitchell. no self-respecting insurance company would have dr. Scrivetto as a preferred provider. John Powell surprised everyone with his resonating plant voice, a part he enjoyed playing unseen in the wings. finally, every accolade possible must go to the other unseen part of the cast, Savannah Keezer, who took the art of puppeteer to new heights. congratulations to every member of the cast and crew, and a special thank you to Vaughn craddock, who is quietly (or do we mean noisily) becoming the school resident drummer.

We did two performances; the second was so packed that it was difficult for the actors to move around! Students performing in the inge scene were Shea murphy, elizabeth lammers, mathew munoz-morales, James Spradlin, nicole corby, Joe asbridge, hanna Watson, and maddie deVore.on Saturday, Joe asbridge and micah Watson competed against other high school actors from around the state in the first Inge acting competition. competitors were asked to choose among several scenes from William inge plays. Joe and micah performed a scene from Come Back, Little Sheba, as directed by upper School drama class assistant bailey burcham. the two collegiate students won second place in the competition and were awarded scholar-ships of $250 apiece at the gala event. all in all, this was the most successful festival ever for collegiate students!

Performers were allowed to select from any of the 85 songs that have won oscar awards. the selections varied from Somewhere Over the Rainbow, performed by Sophie beren, to Skyfall, performed by nicole farha. the senior girls sang The Way You Look Tonight, and the junior girls sang What a Feeling from Flashdance. the guys got together and performed eminem's rap tune Lose Yourself. the evening was hosted by our own two-time Jester award winner, rob egan.

bowLing the “Jack Stewart era” is over after four great and successful years on the varsity bowling team. So many coaches this winter commented when his name was in the line-up, “Jack hasn’t graduated yet?” Jack's ca-reer included a first place finish as a fresh-man, and 5th place and 12th place finishes at the 5a-1a State championship. Jack was selected by the Kansas bowling coaches to the 4a all-State team four consecutive years. he averaged over 215 during his four years and a 218 his senior year. a re-markable career!The varsity team loses five seniors: team captain Jack Stewart, dusty Youngman, alex Waldeck, and co-captains Sage farha and Whitney goldberg. the 2013 season in the aVctl iV division was an exciting one. The boys’ squad finished second in the league championship even though they won the total pins at league. the team improved considerably all season and looks forward to five members of the varsity returning in 2014. the JV boys, led by aaron brake and Jack naron, had a strong season with only one loss. the girls were competitive with three newcomers: maddie Janzen, brooke Weber, and Jee Yeon Kim. alex Waldeck led the team with a strong senior season.

boys' basketbaLLas has been the case for some time, we began the season with some very lofty goals and expectations. Sometimes though, things don't always go the way you have it mapped out. Such was the case this season. We started out hot, suffered a key season-ending injury to markus Phox, spent six weeks readjusting, and were back to being a very dangerous team by the end. Winfield beat us in the sub-state championship game by two points to keep us out of the 4a state tournament; we were so close. i will always remem-ber this group as the team that had to totally reinvent itself in the middle of the season, and did so successfully. i have never coached a team that played two polar opposite styles of basketball in the same season and was successful at both. this group of young men were great representatives of Wichita collegiate School and our basketball program. thanks men...

Coach Mitch Fiegel

giRLs' basketbaLLthe Wichita collegiate lady Spartans took a step towards returning to their winning ways. a squad led by 3 upperclassmen, and 14 newcomers, 13 of which were freshmen, made great strides during the season. the team was led by two seniors who had played key rolls in a state championship as sophomores, and received post-season honors as seniors. Jerica Skar was named to the all-tournament team at the el dorado tournament, first team aV-ctl division iV, and class 4a all-State honorable mention. Keli dunn was named to the all-hustle team at el dorado, Second team aV-ctl, and class 4a all-State honorable mention, before having her season cut short due to injury. Junior Jordan hull was named all-league honorable mention.Several freshmen played key minutes in varsity games, and showed prom-ise of what's to come. the success of the team was not necessarily mea-sured in wins and losses, but in the leadership of the upperclassmen and the steady improvement of the freshmen. as the young players were get-ting acclimated to varsity basketball, they showed what they are capable of. the future of lady Spartan basketball looks bright because of this group.

boys' tennisthe Spartan Varsity tennis team had another banner spring in 2013! in spite of having to replace three seniors from the top six of the 2012 team, the boys were up to the challenge. all 39 boys on the team won matches and displayed great sportsman-ship! the Spartans captured the tournament of champions, always a crown jewel in the season, and finished second in the very tough AVCTL 3/4 Division. In Regionals, the Spartans finished first, capturing the top two spots in singles (Travis Osland and Samuel Beren) and finishing second and third in doubles (max moxley/forrest Short and Sonny frank/daniel hullings). at state, the team was amazing, saving their best efforts for the biggest meet, capturing the 4a State title for the second year in a row. Osland and Beren fin-ished 4th and 5th in singles, and moxley/Short and Frank/Hullings finished 5th and 8th, respectively. a superb season for WcS tenniS!

giRLs' swimmingThe 200 free relay for Collegiate qualified for the state meet in Topeka. maddie daley, nicole corby, Julia gurney, and allie lindwall swam in the meet, and Sophie blackburn was the alternate swimmer. this was a momentous occasion as no WcS girls' swim relay has ever made it to the state meet.

giRLs' socceRthis year marked the inaugural season for Wichita collegiate girls' Soccer. the team was led by head coach craig brendan ryan and assistant coach Jillian King. eighteen dedicated and talented young ladies helped to get the program off the ground during its first season. While the team was not a part of the aVctl league, they participated in a few friendly matches with other area schools and competed in the Wichita northwest high School Women’s Soccer tournament. the team finished fourth out of eight teams and scored three goals, two by junior captain meagan richardson and one by senior captain alex Waldeck. Next year, as the team embarks on their first year of league play, they hope to build a program that will represent collegiate with pride and sportsmanship for years to come.

THANKS TO OUR RETIRING TRUSTEESas the school year cycles over from one year to the next, there are some changes in those who participate on the board of trustees of the school. We are thankful for the commitment and support from all the trustees who give freely of their time and talents. two trustees are retiring from the board: george laham and cJ lett.

George Laham has completed nine years of service. george has been instrumental in assisting the school with various facility projects, most notably helping to get the electronic sign installed on Webb Road.

the other retiring trustee is CJ Lett. cJ has served on a variety of board committees over the past seven years and has always shared a vision of excellence for the school. along with his wife, Kim, he is the proud parent of two alumni: clint, class of 2010, and now madeleine, class of 2013. thank you, cJ, for all you have done to make collegiate a better place for our students.

Sharol Rasberry Jared Sprole

an engineer. he also enjoys playing basketball. in his can-didate questionnaire, elijah wrote that he applied to WcS because he felt that it was the best school around and would better prepare him for college.elijah established a wonderful academic record at derby middle School, and earned kudos from his teachers, who de-scribe him as a very polite, respectful young man who catches on quickly, is willing to work and always does it with a smile.When told that he had been selected as a malone Scholar at WcS, elijah said, "i feel truly blessed to have received the malone Scholarship. i will make the most out of this oppor-tunity!" We have no doubt that elijah will do just that!riley Sanders is the daughter of Jarrett Sanders (WcS class of 1988) and alison Sanders.like elijah, riley's favorite classes are math and language arts. While at coleman middle School, she compiled an im-pressive academic record. her teachers described her as a very organized student who is excellent at working independently as well as collaborating with peers. She is also described as a very compassionate and respectful student who is always willing to help others. riley was on Student council, Smd aid, nal, and circle friends. She also played volleyball and

performed some volunteer work for various organizations.in her malone Scholar's application, riley wrote that she believed collegiate will give her challenging courses and fel-low students who are nice and respectful towards faculty and staff. her father, 1988 WcS graduate Jarrett Sanders, indicated that while he was very pleased that riley wanted to attend his alma mater, the decision to apply was sole-ly riley's. after learning that riley had been selected as a malone Scholar at WcS, Jarrett wrote, “as parents, we are so proud of riley being awarded the malone Scholarship to attend WcS. as an alum, i know ‘the door has been opened’ for riley into an environment designed towards challenging each student to reach for excellence and achieve great things. it truly is a great opportunity that i hope she embraces and enjoys as much as i did to build memories and friendships of a lifetime.”We hope that you will take time to get acquainted with these two outstanding new students! We anticipate being able to add one malone Scholar next year. the malone Scholars Program is open to applicants in grades 7-12 who have not been enrolled at WcS. applicants need to have outstanding academic records, score in the 95th percentile on academic tests, and be of exemplary character.

Year after year, WcS parents report on surveys that the excellence of our faculty and staff is one of the things they love most about the school. anyone who has been at WcS for very long soon realizes that our faculty and staff are never content to rest on their laurels. they are constantly tweaking lessons to make them better, and taking

advantage of professional development opportunities to improve their knowledge or their methods.this quest for continuous improvement is evident in the classrooms, but it is also evident each year when the faculty gathers after the close of the school year to recognize the accomplishments and efforts of their colleagues. We hope that you will enjoy reading about their accomplishments, the new ideas they tried this year, the milestones they have achieved, and some special awards they have earned.

ceLebRat ing susan pangRacassistant headmaster bunny hill presented Susan Pangrac with her Proba te dignum award."Susan, i am supposed to strike a note of celebra-tion as i present you with our highest award, the Proba te dignum award. We are celebrating a grand career, a bright spirit, a creative tornadic en-ergetic woman – we are celebrating Susan Pangrac and her life among children. it is a little hard to do this, though, with a smile and gleeful heart – be-cause it represents an ending for all of us in this room. We won’t have you across the hall waiting to share an idea, some wisdom, or helpful comedic

relief. We won’t see you walking your children across campus, stopping to see the tree that looks strangely like the letter Y. We won’t drive by campus at midnight and see your light on, and we won’t hear your dr. Seuss laments. "Your influence on this school and on us goes even deeper than smiles and laughs and advice, in fact, educational policy and a deeper understanding of how children learn and how teachers teach is part of your legacy. Your col-leagues will remember so much. Kaye myers noted your innate understand-ing of young children. She says, ‘Susan has dedicated her life to educating her students, sometimes sacrificing her own health and welfare for their benefit.’ Suzeanne norton reminds us that it was you who brought alphabetic Phonics to Wichita and to collegiate, and it was you who helped create a bridge be-tween Early Childhood and Lower School when you moved to first grade. "Pat Swearingen remarked on your amazing creativity, which is high praise coming from her. but perhaps it is lori Primm who fully captures the scope of your influence. She notes Susan’s generosity as she tells this story: ‘One day Susan and i were entering the Wichita country club to attend a Young author’s luncheon. i spotted a beautiful baby grand piano in the lobby and made the comment that some day i wanted to own a baby grand and learn to play. Susan casually remarked, “i have a baby grand i would give you.” i chuckled and said, “oh that would be lovely!” She said, “no, i’m serious – i inherited two pianos and you can have one of them.” and so it came to be that lori experienced Susan’s generosity and gained a piano. lori also men-tioned that legendary humor. ‘Once a first grade father of twins stated that one of his daughters looked just like her mother. the other twin, he said, looked just like him. Susan wittily remarked, “oh, is she bald?”’"Susan – you were a gift to this school every day you were here. You changed the lives of your students. You have left a legacy of excellence. and, you are already missed. it is with tears that i end this presentation and with smiles that we send you on your way to a new beginning. Proba te dignum, evermore."

bRaVa, bunny hiLLheadmaster tom davis presented the Proba te dignum award to bunny hill for authoring the 50th anniversary history book of WcS."here i am breaking my own rule about not ever following bunny in a program, but there is no other order to do this so i am doomed to be last. We would like to recognize bunny with a Proba te dignum award for her tireless and artistic ef-fort in writing the 50th Year anniversary book, which we will be receiving copies of at the end of the summer. it was two years ago that bunny excitedly accepted the invitation to write the his-tory of the first 50 years of Wichita Collegiate School. overcoming some personal diversions along the way, she went about it in typical bunny style: looking through yearbooks; calling alumni; interviewing former teachers, parents, trustees, friends; sifting through thousands of pictures for just the right photo to include. Writing, ed-iting, and re-writing until the final product, a 160-page coffee-table book, was shipped off this past January to be printed and delivered in august. more than a labor of love, it was a labor of the heart as only bunny hill could write it. it is magnificent. We are all going to enjoy it, and it preserves the history, traditions, and philoso-phy of our school for future generations. among all the other ways bunny has impacted Wichita collegiate School over the years, this one will have its lasting impact. "bunny, thanks for the memories that you have helped create for us and that you have now re-corded for us. You have proved yourself wor-thy, and for that, we thank and recognize you with this Proba te dignum award."

the highest award given at Wichita Collegiate School is the Proba Te Dignum Award. It specifies the school motto as the standard of excellence - Prove Yourself Worthy. it is not given every year, but is a special tribute when someone has gone above and beyond to overcome an obstacle or to do something truly extraordinary on behalf of the school.

this year, Susan Pangrac and bunny hill were honored with the Proba te dignum award. Susan’s award was for 27 years of love and service to the students of Wichita collegiate School. bunny’s was for preserving the essence of collegiate in the 50th anniversary book.

speciaL Recognition of

MARCIAschuLtz

marcia Schultz, middle School athletic director and Pe teacher, retired this spring after 30 years at Wichita collegiate. marcia's

father, husband bryan, and several of their children were in the audience as two of her colleagues paid trib-ute to this special woman.

first up was middle School athletic director and coach troy black, who has worked with marcia for the past 14 years. Describing Marcia as "the fittest individu-al i have ever met," troy recalled how marcia would jog for miles every day, regardless of the weather, with the sole exception of middle School Sports awards day. "You could set your clock by marcia's workouts," troy claimed, adding that marcia kept up her routine until two weeks before her son Jace was born.

troy also paid tribute to marcia's organizational skills as ad, and to being a great role model for her students and her own children. "those who know marcia will say that she and bryan have raised great kids. there were many times when we would have parenting talks, and she would give me great and useful advice. i'm sure she thought it was just small talk, but i took it to heart and used it with my own kids...i thank you, marcia, for being my colleague, my mentor, and my friend."

assistant headmaster bunny hill took the microphone as a slideshow of photos of marcia over the years played on the screen. "these pictures," said mrs. hill, "remind us how long thirty years is...for so many decades all the girls who went through our school could count you as their teacher, their coach, their advisor, and their role model. This room is filled with people whose children you taught; my own daughter chose you as her one and only athletic coach – and her years playing volleyball and having you as an advisor were wonderful ones. You have been a tireless supporter of all things collegiate. in those years I have been witness to your efficient prepa-ration and execution of all athletic events, to your in-

defatigable energy and patience with young adoles-cents, to your ready smile and cheerful outlook, and to your own personal commitment to fitness and health. i have never heard you complain nor have i even heard you speak ill of your students."

mrs. hill also paid tribute to marcia's record "as the amazing mother of an incredible tribe of collegiate Spartans. Your seven children contributed in every possible way to the life of the school. their history with WcS spans the decades, and their roots are deeply entwined in the history of this school, as are yours. You and bryan were wise and calm par-ents, always standing close by offering support and gratitude. in so many ways you as parents exem-plify what we hope all collegiate parents will be. in turn, we were all enriched by our relationship with each and every Schultz who wandered through the years at our school. i know you treasure sharing their childhoods on this campus where you worked so hard providing a collegiate education to them. You have proven yourself worthy and served the school and your students well. You will be missed! We hope your future activities include some time to rest, to relax, and to find new passions or reacquaint yourself with old ones. Your 30 years and your collegiate career are noted with gratitude and love."

i just completed my third year as board chair of the Wichita collegiate School board of trustees. i am now be-ginning my fourth year as Board Chair and my final and 9th year on the board of trustees. it has been an honor to serve in this leadership role at WcS these past three years. i am extremely thankful for Wichita collegiate

and so proud of the school, its faculty, its students, its parents, its alumni and alumni parents. each of us plays an im-portant role in our school community and family, and together we support, celebrate, and endeavor to make Wichita collegiate the premiere private independent school in Wichita and the region. on behalf of the board of trustees, i want to thank you for your caring support of and commitment to the school.

the board of trustees focused this past year on three main areas: the upcoming 50th anniversary, ambassador-ship, and financial planning. Much thought and planning has gone into preparing to celebrate and mark Wichita collegiate’s 50th anniversary that will be celebrated this upcoming school year. an active 50th steering committee worked all year to plan events, gather volunteers, and outreach. the board of trustees has continued working on long-term sustainability for the 50th and has advanced its efforts with the 50th capital and endowment campaign that will kick off publicly at the start of the new school year. due to the hard work of the core campaign Steering com-mittee and the advanced and major gift committees under the guidance of Jeff and corey Johnson as the 50th campaign chairs, louise and mark holden as advanced gifts chairs, dara and ray geoffroy as major gifts Chairs, and Joan Moore and the Development Office, much progress has been made. It is very exciting to see how many of our identified projects will be funded, especially with the additional support of the community at-large this upcoming fall. We will have much to celebrate.

as part of the board’s role to provide sustainability into the future, we have worked on being ambassadors within the school and in the community at-large. We have analyzed and discussed at length financial planning for the future to ensure collegiate will continue to offer such an excellent product and experience for years to come. building an endowment and funding the campus master plan will also put the school in good stead moving beyond the 50th. the board of trustees is a dedicated group who use their talents and passions to make WcS even stronger. i want to thank the trustees for their time and commitment this past year.

the collegiate annual fund had another successful year led by parent chairs cindy and ed egan and Jennifer murati. for the third year in a row, we had 100% faculty participation, which is such a testimony to both our fabu-lous faculty but also to how much they believe in and support the efforts brought forth by the caf. thank you, fac-ulty, for such stellar participation. the caf raised over $318,000 this past year, which has funded the security card access across campus, the parking lot Phase i improvements, bleachers in the south gym, professional development for faculty, and campus landscaping. thank you to parents, alumni, alumni parents, and special friends for support-ing the caf, which has enabled the school to offer the extras that make the school and its campus so much better.

thank you for your continued support of and generosity to Wichita collegiate. Your contributions are very much appreciated and needed. Please start marking your calendars for the upcoming anniversary celebrations and join us all next year celebrating Wichita collegiate on such a major milestone. Please also consider making a gift to the 50th campaign when you are contacted next year.

on behalf of the Wichita collegiate board of trustees,

ellen g. berenboard chair

* This year will be a very big year for Collegiate as we cel-ebrate our 50th year beginning in the fall. Please look for de-tails in the centerfold of this issue of the Collegiate Connection and a campaign roll-out as soon as school begins in the fall.

“Gratitude is the memory of the heart.” ~ Jean Baptiste Massieu

there are so many things about Collegiate that fill our hearts with gratitude. We are thankful for the won-derful families who not only make the commitment

to provide their children with a collegiate education, but then also participate above and beyond with their time and gifts. All around our campus we enjoy the benefits of what every parent and friend of collegiate has done for future students. We truly reap the harvest of those who sowed the fields ahead of us.

We are thankful for our students who every day come to our campus with excitement and determination: excitement to learn new things and determination to do everything to the best of their ability. When you look through all the achieve-ments and accomplishments displayed in this issue, you can see that evidence. collegiate students are studious and curi-ous and industrious in all that they undertake.

We are thankful for the ways that parents get involved in the life of our school. the parent organizations are strong with dedicated volunteers and leadership. each group pur-sues their mission of support to the students either through fund-raising, friend-raising or hundreds of hours of volun-teer hours. the members of these groups not only make our community stronger, but they make friendships among each other that last a lifetime.

So, as the 2012-13 school year has drawn to a close, we say “thank you” to all who have made it another great year. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we mean that, with gratitude, from the bottom of our hearts.

over the past fifty years, Collegiate has been blessed with donors that had a vision for the future. they not only supported the current operations of the

school but chose to establish endowment funds that would have long-term benefits. Five of those endowment funds are specifically designed to enhance professional development for the faculty. every class, every conference, every educational opportunity that is attended brings enrichment opportunities for the stu-dents of collegiate. faculty discover techniques and new approaches to engage students’ imaginations by providing exciting and fun learning experiences.This past year, the following five endowments offered funds for faculty to apply to use within each endowment's specific guideline. Those faculty members that applied and were awarded funds are listed with the endowment that funded their professional development. • The Bridges Endowment was established by r. douglas

and helen fay bridges to provide training in the area of special needs students. faculty receiving funds in-cluded: Peggy drew and the learning lab instructors.

• The Clark Endowment, established by Steve clark in mem-ory of his wife Judy Clark, is specific to educational oppor-tunities for lower School faculty. don funke and Shirley meissner were awarded funds.

• The Nick Madison Endowment, established in memory of dr. nick madison by his wife June and two daughters, is to be used for professional development in the area of science. Scott hawley and Janice crowley were award-ed funds to attend national science conferences.

• The Taylor Family Endowment, established by dan and Kate taylor, is for extraordinary educational opportuni-ties for upper School faculty including sabbaticals and internationally renowned conferences or workshops. Jillian King, chris ashbrook, Janice crowley, and Peter deVries attended national and international conferences within their areas of expertise.

• The Ford Foundation Endowment, given to collegiate through a matching grant request, offers funds for any division as long as the award each year is rotated to a different curriculum area. the ford foundation endow-ment provided individual funds for Kathy Wagner to at-tend a national conference this past year and for Joyann brake, Steve elmore, and Kristin anneler to attend con-ferences in the summer and early this year.

thanK You to the families that established these en-dowments! Your vision and generosity are providing in-valuable continued educational opportunities for our fac-ulty.

a word about

THE ANNU Al fUNDCollegiate Annual Fund

We would like to thank the collegiate community for another successful year of fundraising for the collegiate annual fund (caf)! With your help, we raised just over $318,000 during the 2012-13 school year. every year, all of the WcS commu-nity constituents – current families, faculty, staff, alumni, grandparents, former families, and trust-ees – come together in support of this vital effort. caf provides the resources for the elements of WcS life that distinguish the collegiate educa-tional experience.

this year, the WcS community had some impres-sive participation rates:

• 40 volunteers ensured the campaign’s success• 100% Board of Trustees participation• 100% faculty and staff participation• 55% parent participation• 63 first time donors

the 2012-2013 collegiate annual fund embraced six initiatives: a state of the art security system for every building on our campus, more parking for the lower School and early childhood divisions, professional development for the faculty, new bleachers for the South gym, middle School play-ground enhancement, and campus beautification in light of the school’s 50th anniversary in 2013-14. these projects were nearly funded, thanks to the dedication of many. the middle School play-ground funding was not completed and may be recommended for completion in 2013-14.

thank you to all of the volunteers who made calls, wrote notes, and supported the caf efforts in many ways. it takes a community to execute this effort, and it takes a community to make it suc-cessful. Your continued support through yearly tax-deductible contributions to the collegiate an-nual fund is not only welcome, but is essential to the vitality and promise of our school and its mis-sion!

have a wonderful and happy summer,

Keith deltano is a nationally known inspi-rational speaker for kids. he is passion-ate and direct. his style and presentation were beyond fun for the students and his message clear. take care of each other and be kind. he shared his personal story of learning differently and his struggles with fitting in. Mr. Deltano has been a mili-tary police officer, public school teacher, youth leader, private counselor, and edu-cational comedian. mr. deltano draws from these experiences to share and work with students on ways to deal with bully-ing and unkind words. he does empha-size sticking up for each other and how to speak up for yourself. Keith deltano came to WcS in november to present to all divisions. he presented to our lower School, middle School, and allowed us to videotape his presentation to show to the upper School at a later date. mr. deltano also met with all our teachers and parents after school for a workshop on working with students to recognize and address any concerns with bullying. the students responded very warmly to his presentation, and we had follow- up with questions and discussion after he left. the teachers also felt he was effective in presenting to the students. it is a blessing we had a special speaker to discuss issues that affect all schools and in a way that the students could relate to. our culture is to provide a positive and safe environment for our students. We talk about this in the classroom, hallways, and all over campus. mr. deltano provided support to our ef-forts today and moving forward.We want to thank the taylor family endowment, the clark endowment, and the ford foundation endowment for making this important presentation pos-sible on our campus.

the bRidges endowment it was an honor to be a recipient of the r. douglas bridges and helen fay bridges endowment. this endowment allowed me the oppor-tunity to attend the learning and the brain conference in february 2013 in San francisco. the conference title was teaching creativity in the twenty-first century: using brain Science to ignite innova-tion and imagination. over 1500 professionals attended the confer-ence from twelve different countries. attendees included teachers, college professors, psychologists, medical doctors and Phd’s.one of the topics of the conference was whether or not creativity can be taught. it is a common belief that children are either born with artistic talent or they’re not. but research indicates that creativity is more of a skill than an inborn talent, and it’s a skill parents and teachers can help their children develop. Young students need a lot of time for self-directed, unstructured, imaginative play – free of the burden of adult direction. children need to learn to take risks and to be allowed to make mistakes and fail. Students need freedom to explore their ideas and to gain confidence by placing an emphasis on the creative process rather than the specific outcome. it is an almost universally held belief that creativity occurs primarily in the arts and humanities – literature, performing arts, or fine arts. However creativity is a fundamental component of many other fields, such as biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, earth science, and engineering. today’s schools are charged with preparing students for jobs that have not yet been imagined or created. technologies are changing rapidly and problems we can’t foresee will arise. our students will live in a global world and will need to develop the skills and knowl-edge that will allow them to compete and interact with diverse peo-ple. Schools need to help develop individuals who are both creative and entrepreneurial. a child who grows up to be innovative and creative will be well prepared to compete.

Peggy Drew, Kindergarten Teacher

We want to thank you for sending us to the fundamental learning center’s conference, “face it. dyslexia and literacy.” the conference focused on what can be done to make sure that children with dyslexia grow up in healthy academic environments. While there, we were able to watch a screening of the movie, the big Picture: rethinking dys-lexia, which was directed by James redford, son of robert redford. The documentary film showcased both successful students and adults with dyslexia. after the movie, Karen Pritzker, executive producer, opened up the floor for questions and answers. Attending the confer-ence, re-emphasized how important it is for both educators and par-ents to not just know about the symptoms and causes of dyslexia, but also the best ways to help children meet the challenges they will face. We appreciate your support in providing us with this opportunity!

NT the cLaRk endowment the second and third grades were awarded Smart response clickers as part of the 2012 caP fund. i had the privilege of attending Smart response training thanks to the Judy broshears clark lower School endowment award. the second and third grade teachers had already spent several in-service hours this summer setting up the clickers and preparing assessments for our students. one goal is to have the clickers provide instant feedback to our students as they are as-sessed on a variety of curricular areas. additional goals are to accommodate our students’ special needs and provide feedback to the teachers to help us develop meaningful lessons. i left warm Wichita on tuesday, when we were experiencing 90 degree weather and arrived in San diego to a chilly 70 degrees. nevertheless, i came prepared to learn how to include our Smart response clickers seamlessly into the lower School curriculum. the class was small with just 5 students but all were eager to learn the newest features of the Smart response click-ers from Smart technologies. i spent 7 hours in class that day, working through my lunch break, so that i could bring all of the new features back to our lower School teachers. While i had used the clickers for assessments i had prepared, i now was learning a simple way to include any assess-ment in the Smart response format. on thurs-day, i arrived back home to cloudy Wichita and 40 degree temperatures. the cool weather did not deter me from sharing my new knowledge with the teachers at Wichita collegiate lower School! as a result of this training, i am now offering a once-a-month class where teachers in the lower School and early childhood can come to learn new techniques about the Smartboard and Smart response clickers and get help with questions and problems we can solve together. an additional plus to the training was that the Smart technologies class instructor mentioned a new update to the firmware of our Series 800 Smartboards that allowed us to have four stu-dents at one time writing on the board. i had not heard this update news and was eager to come home to try this out. the second graders can now participate at the Smartboard four at a time and are enjoying this new feature.thank you so much to caP for providing the Smart response clickers and to Judy bros-hears clark lower School endowment for pro-viding the training to help us use this technology more effectively to help the students at Wichita collegiate School.

the nick madison endowment last summer i had the opportunity to at-tend the american chemical Society gas chromatography workshop in chicago. the instructor, dr. lee Polite, trains mostly chemists from industry to learn how to trou-ble-shoot any issues they may have with their gas chromatograph (gc). i was fortunate to get not only great training from dr. Polite, but also learned a great deal from chemists who use the gc in agriculture, government, medicine, and a variety of consumer indus-tries. this workshop allowed me to bring more relevant information back to my research students and help them to better understand how the gc works and proper protocol to use when trouble-shooting. Students were able to gain a better understanding of appro-priate selection of temperature versus pres-sure for separating gas chromatogram peaks. there were many good labs and exercises the students were able to do as a result of this learning experience.i really appreciate the nick madison memo-rial endowment for Science for granting this unique experience. Wichita collegiate has always had a great lab-based science pro-gram, which meets the criteria of training in science, technology, engineering, and math-ematics (Stem). all the grade levels of sci-ence incorporate Stem appropriately into their subject whether it is natural science or physical science. however, this gc oppor-tunity was an over-the-top experience in that the chem Station software that the students use is high tech. the chem Station has the ability to automatically integrate peak areas using calculus. in addition, the students use engineering to manually install the column, replace parts, cut new parts of the column, replace septa, flush columns, check for leaks, and the list is quite extensive. the students put their data into excel to analyze their re-sults and compare them to published stan-dards. And finally students pull all their research and article review together and present at the Ku-medical annual Poster Presentation. many of the comments we re-ceived from judges and medical doctors indi-cated that they were very supportive of this type of scientific research.This opportunity has definitely been a great benefit to students at WCS.

the n ick madison endowment first of all i would like to thank the nick madi-son memorial endowment for Science for the op-portunity to attend the national Science teachers association convention that was held in Phoenix in December, 2012. I felt it was very beneficial to me as a teacher and for collegiate as a whole.the major emphasis in science education has recently shifted to Stem, which translates to a need to focus on Science, technology, engineer-ing, and mathematics. this whole conference was geared in this direction, being mentioned in almost every one of the 13 sessions that i attend-ed. to summarize some of the great things that i learned:• There is a new TI calculator that might be a

good replacement for the current ti-84s that the students use. i also learned of new ways that we can use our current calculators to col-lect data on scientific probes that Collegiate already has.

• I found several new demonstrations to teach about radiation in Physical Science.

• There is a great science and engineering con-test called ecybermission that our 7th and 8th graders might really enjoy. i met the national director and believe it would fill a need in our middle School.

• Several of the sessions concerned how to get our students building things and doing more hands-on engineering. i got several new ideas that i would like to incorporate into a new en-ergy unit when i teach physics during the sec-ond semester.

• I went to two sessions presented by nationally known educators who presented on the teach-ing of polymer chemistry. as a result of this, i would like to add a short polymer unit to the chemistry section of my course.

• I got a score of great new demonstrations from nationally known presenters that in-cluded past nSta presidents. i can’t wait to show these to my students!

on top of this, i had the opportunity to meet the head of education for the chandra telescope. She is a great resource for teaching about space and stellar evolution. She is also the director of the astronomy event for Science olympiad and this will be a great help in the preparation of our Sci-ence Olympiad teams. I also went on a field trip to the state of the art Phoenix crime lab. it was interesting to see how they used science to solve crimes.again, i would like to say thank you for allowing me this great opportunity. it was well worth it!

.. .. .. .. ..THE TAylOR fAMIly ENDOWMENT thanks to the generosity of the taylor family endowment, i had the extreme pleasure of attending the independent Schools institute at the harvard graduate School of educa-tion in mid-october 2012. Joined by 50 independent school administrators from around the country and the world, we were able to share information and ideas as well as listen to and communicate with eight different Professors of education from harvard university. the conference began with a presentation from howard gardner, who in his most recent book, Truth Beauty, and Good-ness Reframed, discusses steps educators can take to introduce and nurture viable notions of truth, beauty, and goodness. the thought-provoking gardner then spent time with small groups of us discussing how this information could help trans-form our own schools. While there is no definitive answer to what constitutes truth, beauty, and goodness, it was clear that discussing these ideas with faculty and students is very important. these conversations have begun with the faculty in the upper School and will continue with both faculty and students in the 2013-2014 school year.the other speakers at the conference were as thought-provok-ing as gardner and focused on topics such as creating learning organizations, utilizing case studies as a teaching and learning tool, designing curriculum that fosters global competency, and how to articulate and measure a school’s value proposition. i came back to Wichita with a great deal of material and even more ideas on how to add to the value of our school. i have exchanged several emails with richard light and continued our conversation on creating a “learning organization” that broadens and deepens the experience of our students. rich-ard has shared a survey he designed for harvard freshman that has been used at other leading colleges, and we are mak-ing modifications that will be useful for our Collegiate com-munity.the entire experience at the independent Schools institute was professionally rewarding. along with great ideas and resources, i came away with multiple contacts of educators around the country, some of whom i continue to communicate with, and i also left the conference with a sense of validation. We are a tremendous school at Wichita collegiate and much of what we do is right on track with what the great minds at harvard are thinking. of course there is always room to im-prove, and that is exactly why i am so thankful to the taylor family endwoment for providing me with this opportunity to help make Wichita collegiate a stronger school moving for-ward. i would be remiss if i didn’t mention that i was also able to meet with two alumni while at the conference. tyler dobbs, a rising sophomore at harvard, and eben bitonte, a rising junior at mit, took time out of their busy schedules to meet me. both are doing well and are as impressive as they were while they were at collegiate.

THE TAylOR fAMIly ENDOWMENT this past spring break, tufts university hosted the annual conference for the northeast modern language association in boston. i want to thank the taylor family endowment for providing me the opportunity to attend.essentially, the conference consisted of university professors, authors, and Phd candidates present-ing and defending pieces of literary criticism. Per-haps this doesn’t describe a typical spring break experience, but the time was a solid investment as a number of the panels related directly to authors studied in our aP Senior literature class.Though there were a number of influential panels, the following three offered the most benefit: “The Artemis Archetype” underscored the significance of mythic understanding to fully interpret and comprehend modern surroundings; “trauma in fiction” highlighted both the necessity (and limi-tations) of figurative language; and finally “Cor-mac mccarthy and modernism” examined the motif of the parallax, of making an object seem to move by viewing them from different angles—the significance of manipulating narrative point-of-view to create specific affects in the reader.the effect of the experience was both enlighten-ing and encouraging. after having attended, i feel i have a better grasp on how to more precisely and efficiently teach specific literary techniques. The conference experience also encouraged me about our aP focus the past two years—our emphasis on writing persuasive, argument-driven literary critiques is preparing students for success on the aP exam and also preparing them for the types of writing and thinking they will need in their ongo-ing academic and professional pursuits.And finally, the conference provided a happy sur-prise: the artemis panel—already under contract for a book on the topic—needed one more chap-ter. after exchanging ideas and writing samples, they agreed to have me write it. Publication is ex-pected in 2014 or 2015.

.. .. .. .. ..THE fORD fOUNDAT ION ENDOWMENTattending the 2013 american alliance for health, Physical education, recreation, and dance national convention in charlotte, north carolina, was a great privilege. i went to many activity sessions that allowed me to return with new games, skills, dances, and equipment that will be most use-ful in my teaching. many of these activities will correspond nicely with my theme for next year, “fit to learn.” in ad-dition, i targeted those sessions that dealt with physical ac-tivity breaks or “brain breaks” that are meant to revitalize children in the classroom setting and help them refocus on academic work and prepare for learning. this is an area that i have had an interest in for the last year, so acquiring more information on the subject was very beneficial.With our school’s recent focus on technology, i also made an effort to attend presentations that highlighted the use of technology in the physical education setting. i was in-terested in finding ways to use various types of technology for assessment purposes, as well as creative teaching ideas. i have to admit that i was extremely intimidated by the overwhelming amount of information that is available, but i discovered that there are some wonderful resources that can greatly aid the physical educator. i was introduced to various computer programs, web sites, and new or updated equipment like i-Pads, cell phones, heart rate monitors, pe-dometers, gaming stations, and flip cameras. All of these technologies allow for immediate feedback to students, par-ents, or the teacher via internal or external computer pro-grams that store physical activity information from the piece of equipment that is being used. this information can then be accessed at any time. the ability for a student, teacher, or parent to see progress is greatly enhanced through the use of technology. i have returned from the convention with a greater interest in working with the school’s technol-ogy department to find the best overall assessment program available to me for use with young students.i thank you for your generosity in sending me to the aah-Perd convention and appreciate the chance to bring back new and exciting ideas to share with students and colleagues. i always feel i learn so much from my interac-tions with physical education professionals from around the world. In the end, my students are the greatest beneficia-ries of this professional development opportunity.

bo osteR cLub booster club has experienced another successful year in large part due to the support of our WcS family! financially, we were able to fund over $36,000 to support extracurricular activities on campus. We are dedicated to providing funds to not only improve our facili-ties, but to keep WCS competitive regarding our fine arts depart-ment, academics, and athletics. every year we regularly fund over 30 groups at WcS. in addition to that we accept fund requests from staff members each September and January and discuss the benefits of their needs and how it will enhance WcS. Some of the improve-ments we have supported for the 2012-2013 school are as follows:

• US Volleyball: iPad and Volleyball Software• Expand Trophy Case in US• Support to Hemisphere and Poetic Justice• Athletic Training: training and exam table• Track and Field Hurdles• LS playground items• New Surround System in US Gym (1/2 of the cost)

if you would like to see a complete list, contact a booster club board member...we love to share what we are able to give back to the school!

unfortunately, the money we are able to fund these projects with doesn't grow on trees. We use the revenue from concessions, shirt shack, member dues, booster night silent auction, and activity pro-gram ads. A hundred percent of the profit goes directly back to the school!

We will be offering our 2nd annual booSter club PeP rallY catered bY lYonS bbQ fridaY, auguSt 30, 2013 5:30 WcS football Stadium

this will be a perfect opportunity to reconnect after summer and meet new families, see the introductions of fall sports participants, and watch a football scrimmage. even better, there will be many booster board members who will be more than happy to get you signed up to be a member of booster club and/or a board mem-ber. it is our school and everyone deserves an opportunity to get involved and have input where the funds are distributed!

Thank you for providing your constant financial support, hard work, and forward thinking that enables WcS to remain at the top. We look forward to expanding our booster club/Shirt Shack family and all of the success that lies ahead for 2013-2014!

respectively Submitted,beth copher, Booster Club President

e pATRONS Of THE ARTS Patrons of the arts is a volunteer parent organi-zation focused on providing, in the form of time and funds, the extra things that are not covered in our school budget to our creative fine arts faculty. generous volunteers gave their time this year by introducing themselves at the back-to-School fair and by handing out programs and greeting parents and faculty at concerts. they raised money to support the arts by selling memberships and front row reserved seats at the thanksgiving Program, magazines and oth-er gifts online at great american opportunities, and finally, by hosting our every other year fun-draiser, Party with a Purpose. this party would not have been possible without the dedicated work of angela fox and michelle majors.

because of the generous support of the Wichita collegiate School community, Patrons of the arts was able to raise over $20,000 during the 2012-2013 year. the following are several ex-amples of how this money was used for our fine arts:

• Lighting Board for Theatrical Services

• Updated Music Technology Software for the middle School

• Cameras for different departments

Special thanks go out to my board and ruth Powell for her leadership. Your support was greatly appreciated and made my job easy. thank you.

AlUMN I NEWShappy 50th birthday, WcS! What a great journey it has been and

what an even brighter future lays ahead for this great school and community. as president of the collegiate alumni board,

i encourage and welcome all alumni to the wonderful events we have planned throughout this milestone year honoring our 50th anniversary.

- friday, october 18, 2013 – homecoming day & alumni bbQ

- Saturday, october 19, 2013 – WcS all-time Sports banquet & hall of fame

- monday, october 21, 2013 – collegiate golf classic

- Saturday, april 26, 2014 – 50th anniversary gala dinner & dance

- friday-Saturday, may 2-3, 2014 – fine arts celebration Weekend

We will have a few changes this year. homecoming will be bigger and better than ever. We will have a large tent on the practice field to the south of the stadium in-stead of its normal location in the rounds. the food will be kabobs, there will be giveaways, games, and bouncy houses for the kids. all alumni and their families are invited.

our golf tournament fundraiser will be held at crestview country club this year. it will start at noon instead of the morning start, and conclude with dinner and a silent auction. Please look for your invitation in the mail. We would like to have 100 golfers participate and have our biggest tournament in history to coincide with the 50th celebration.

it’s going to be a big year, and it needs to be in order to follow the tremendous year the alumni board had this past year under the leadership of Patrick ritchie. We had our biggest giving year ever by raising over $75,000 for the alumni endow-ment fund. We want to keep that momentum going by setting a goal for this year of $90,000. I am confident we can do it with the great support we have from all alums around the country.

as always, if you have any questions, would like to update your informa-tion, or make a contribution, please contact the development office at 316-771-2222 or go online to www.wcsks.com and don’t forget to “like” Proba te dignum on facebook.

looking forward to a great 50th year!

Sincerely,

Jed bond, class of 1996President, WCS Alumni Association

cLass of 2013 agents every year each class votes for fellow classmates who they feel would be the glue to hold their class together in years to come. the class agents are very important because they serve as a formal link between collegiate and their class.

• Keep in touch with classmates, providing new information about them to the school whenever possible.

• be a contact and source of information for their classmates about the school, especially during reunions and other big events.

• Participate in fundraising for the alumni endowment through phone-a-thons and annual mailings.

THE RANDy STORMS MEMORIAl • and RefLection aRea •

on Sunday, february 3, a tragic automobile accident took the life of randy Storms, his wife Suzy, and his faithful service dog hen-ley. investigators suspect that a medical condition caused randy to lose control of his vehicle. Word of the horrible accident spread, causing ripple effects of disbelief and sadness throughout Wichita and beyond, to all those who had the privilege of know-ing this exceptional couple. on randy's facebook page, doz-ens of friends and colleagues shared memories of randy and Suzy, and sadness at their loss. a memory wall was created at great harvest bread company, a frequent meeting place for Young life.

as bunny hill recently wrote, "our hearts are broken over this untimely loss. randy’s greatest gift was noticed early in his life, he loved everyone. the grace he exhibited throughout his life was evidence of an inner peace and love of god that he shone on anyone who crossed his path. his legacy of passion, love, and devotion remain with us as does the memory of his warm heart, ready smile, and love of WcS."

Please join the collegiate community on Saturday, october 19 at 11:00 a.m. in the Quad as

we dedicate the Randy Storms Memorial & Reflection Area.

after the dedication, please join us for breakfast in the Alumni tent at the south end of the football field where we

can enjoy chris cakes' pancakes and share memories of randy and the early days of collegiate.
