2 / ST. TIMOTHY'S SCHOOL

I love history. I love to sit at the spot at the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream”

speech. On a road trip last summer, I pulled over in the middle of the Utah desert and marveled at the Behunin Cabin—a tiny, one-room shack, recently refurbished by the National Park Service, where Elija Cutler Behunin, his wife, and their 13 children lived in the 1880s. Any time I drive to the mountains, I gaze at the long-abandoned, collapsing, wood frame houses, and I imagine the time that those houses were new, when the paint was bright and children played on the porch.

There is something special in those moments when I connect with history. I think mostly about people… people who will never know me and who are now long since gone. Still, they left behind a legacy. Some legacies, like Dr. King’s, live on vibrantly thanks to his personal courage and gifts, as well as the deep commitment of those who followed. Other legacies, like the Behunin Cabin, are lost and then rediscovered. Still others, like those collapsing, abandoned houses in the mountains, likely will be erased forever.

I’m mindful of history and legacy when I walk through our St. Timothy’s School campus. I walk past the bust of Father Hale, and I am in awe of the sheer force of personality, vision, and determination it must have taken to create a parish school in the pine woods along the two-lane country road known as Six Forks. (I am certain that Fr. Hale’s legacy can never be erased!) I regularly look at the paintings in my office of previous heads of school Margaret Evans and Mike Bailey, and I’m grateful for their wisdom and grace in leading St. Timothy’s through times of significant growth and change. I notice all of the family names at the entrances to our classrooms and offices—with children who are now beyond college—whose generosity and commitment well over a decade ago gave us the beautiful building that I now work in and that my own children get to attend classes in today.

We celebrate our 60th anniversary this year with a deep sense of gratitude and pride for our current successes, too. Our students are thriving—in academics, arts, and athletics, they are achieving unprecedented levels of excellence. We are engaged in more service and outreach than ever before—from here in Raleigh all the way to Boucan-Carré, Haiti. With more parents, grandparents, and alumni families giving to our Annual Fund last year than ever before, we raised a record-shattering $250,000 to fulfill teacher and student wish lists. We hit an admissions milestone this year with a record 97%

re-enrollment rate, and our current enrollment of 506 is the largest St. Timothy’s School has ever been.

To our current colleagues, families, and friends, I offer a reminder that our successes are the legacies of all of those St. Timothy’s communities who came before. All of us—students, parents, teachers, administrators—are caretakers of a legacy of excellence that predated our arrival. God willing, we can only hope to maintain and to contribute positively to that legacy in our time together so that it may be enjoyed by those who follow us as they celebrate even greater successes.

To our alumni, their families, and all of our former friends and colleagues, thank you. I hope we are making you proud. Please continue to support us, and I hope you’ll let me know if there are any legacies of these last 60 years we might benefit from rediscovering as we look ahead.

It’s a great day to be a Titan!

Tim Tinnesz, Headmaster

HEADMASTER’S LETTER

All of us – students, parents, teachers, and administrators – are caretakers of a legacy

of excellence that predates our arrival.


August 17, 2017 marked the start of the 60th year of St. Timothy’s School. Beginning with a single kindergarten class of 16 students, the school steadily expanded over the years. Enroll-ment now includes 506 students in pre-kindergar-ten through eighth grade.

Middle school students were happy to see one an-other after a summer apart. Lower school students, including kindergartener Grant Scheer, were happy to see George, the Titan mascot.

It was a whirlwind beginning to our 60th year.

Science teachers Megan Shank and Phoebe Sanders were not about to let the rare solar eclipse of August 21 pass without fanfare. After all, the last significant solar eclipse through North Carolina was in 1984 and the next total eclipse over Raleigh won’t happen until 2078.

But on the third day of school when students were just settling into routine? “It wasn’t the ideal time of year to impose wacky plans and schedules,” Shank said, “but it was truly an educational opportunity we couldn’t pass up.”

Shank prepared age-appropriate activities for lower school students while Sanders arranged an educational slide show and video for middle school students.

600 pairs of NASA-approved, ISO-certified eclipse glasses were distributed So were the snacks – moon pies!

At precisely 2:46 p.m., with the moon covering 93% of the sun, everyone was outside – including a news crew from WNCN, the local CBS affiliate.

It was an unforgettable start to a week that ended with another celebration.

Solar Eclipse and Our 60th Birthday

TWO PARTIES IN ONE WEEK

Lainey Crisp (above) enjoyed eclipse-themed class-room activities while Lewes Powell, Emily Bolen, Gabe Emonston, Ashley Milslagle and Sophie Bray prepared to watch the moon make initial contact with the sun (at right).


Father George B.S. Hale founded St. Timothy’s School in August of 1958, when busy Six Forks was merely a two-lane country road. He recruited 16 students from his nearby Drewry Hills neighborhood, formed a kindergarten class and hired the best teacher he knew – his wife, Carolyn.

Student by student, class by class and grade by grade, St. Timothy’s School grew.

It took a bit of schedule juggling to assemble over 500 students, along with 75 faculty and staff, at one time. It took professional photographer Jennifer Robertson atop a 20-foot ladder to preserve the moment.

But what’s a celebration without a cake – or, in this case, a dozen cakes?

Happy birthday, St. Timothy’s! Here’s to the next 60 years!Katya Sullivan and Leah Atasoy (above right) enjoyed the cake celebrating 60 years of St. Timothy’s School.


BACK TO SCHOOL BBQ: Fun, Food and FellowshipFace painting, balloon animals, corn hole games, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk, pick-up basketball games for students on the playground and dads in the gym… there was no shortage of entertainment at the annual Back to School BBQ hosted by Friends of St. Timothy’s.

The event featured a mouth-watering Clyde Cooper BBQ buffet topped off with popsicles and cake.

The third annual “Feed the Pig” challenge was held to benefit the Annual Fund. Students dropped the change they saved over the summer into piggy banks designated by grade. Again this year, first grade won first place.

Perfect weather is always a bonus. The blue skies and ideal temperature that Sunday afternoon did not disappoint!


Servant Leadership Award for Maddie LemmonIt’s never crowded along the extra mile.

Maddie Lemmon’s yearbook quote proved prophetic last year when she was awarded the Chick-fil-A Servant Leadership Award for going that second mile.

Given annually by Chick-fil-A at North Hills, the award honors the graduating Titan student-athlete who displays humility, positive attitude, good work ethic, good sportsmanship and great character. The recipient is both leader and servant, willing to sacrifice for other teammates, coaches and opponents on the field.

Maddie ran cross country, played basketball and ran track.

Softball Team Climbs in CAMSC RankingFor a team just formed in the spring of 2016, Titans girls’ softball players pulled off an impressive end to the 2017 season by finishing second in CAMSC conference play during the regular season and seizing the runner-up spot in the conference tournament. The girls lost the title game to a well-established team from Franklin Academy.

Athletic Director Tracey Woodward praised the graduating eighth graders who were instrumental in the inaugural year and remained strong leaders and players into the second season. Fortunately, powerhouse pitcher Olesia Walch returns for another season of play in the spring. The team was coached by Tory Mitchener with assistance from Kerry Tully and parents, Kathy Walch, Todd Cobin, Adam Schneider, and Wes Hare.

A Fond Farewell from Tracey Woodward: The opportunity to lead the Titan Athletic Program for the last five years

has been a blessing for me and I will treasure the memories. I will miss

the daily interactions with the student-athletes, parents, coaches and

STS faculty/staff. I am confident that the program will continue to thrive

and properly serve our Titan athletes under the leadership of our new

AD Mike McConoughey (Coach Mike). I wish him and the entire St. Tim-

othy’s community all the best. Go Titans!!

They weren’t yet born on September 11, 2001 but they know all about the terrorist attacks that shook the nation and world. To honor the memory of lives

lost on that infamous day, eighth graders spent a morning of service at the 10-acre Interfaith Food Shuttle Farm.

While some students harvested cherry tomatoes and peppers, others prepared soil for planting by raking and putting down organic fertilizer. When that work was completed, they fed the non-profit farm’s chickens and goats.

After returning to school, eighth graders gathered in the media center for a short video produced by the News and Media class, a collection of student interviews with faculty about their 9/11 experiences.

Tarboro native Inez Ribustello, former sommelier at the renowned Windows of the World restaurant atop the World Trade Trade Center, told students about her 9/11 journey. Although she was in North Carolina for her sister’s wedding and escaped the tragedy, she lost numerous friends and colleagues.

Eighth graders concluded the afternoon with a reflective writing assignment based on the events of the day.

Remembering 9/11 With Service and Reflection


He grew up around the corner from St. Timothy’s School where his parents still

live, but Basil Hassan has gone a long way – literally and figuratively – since his first day on campus as a four-year-old.

After 14 years at St. Timothy’s and Hale High School, Hassan went on to NC State University where he earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in aerospace engineering. Today he is a senior manager at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM, one of the top engineering labs in the world.

In June, Dr. Basil Hassan returned to the place where his education began to deliver the graduation address to the Class of 2017.

He began with a sprinkling of childhood anecdotes: his dog often roaming the campus looking for him, the day he incited a riot in French class, being sent to the school office for that and other reasons, frequent complaints from teachers that he talked too much in class…

By his own admission, Hassan was not a stellar student.

In the eighth grade, however, he landed in a demanding math class with a teacher who would become one of his favorites. At the same time, rigorous science classes kicked in. Something clicked and, with a lot of hard work, Hassan discovered that he was actually very good in math and science. The path to his

career as a rocket scientist was emerging.

“I want you all to realize what this school has done for me,” Hassan told the graduating eighth graders, “and what it has and will do for you.”

He left them with three specifics to ponder – sacrifice, family and relationships.

His parents sacrificed a lot to send him to St. Timothy’s and Hale, and Hassan reminded graduates that their parents made the same sacrifice to give them the best opportunity for success in the future.

“As I look back on my time here,” Hassan continued, “this school always created a family atmosphere. I know from friends who sent their children to St. Timothy’s that family atmosphere we enjoyed then is still the same now.”

Finally, Hassan talked about relationships cemented at St. Timothy’s. “These friends who sit with you today won’t be the only friends you make in life,” he said, “but they are likely to be the most important and meaningful ones you will ever have.”

Admission Director Cathy Clement celebrated 35 years at St. Timothy’s. She was trained by the best – Carolyn Hale, the only other admissions director the school has known.

FACULTY NEWS

First grade teacher Debbie Potter retired in June after a career spanning 41 years, including 21 years at St. Timothy’s. Her family joined her at an end-of-year faculty luncheon. That wasn’t the last we saw of Mrs. Potter, though. She was back in September subbing for her friend and former colleague, Sharon Carlson.

If first grade teacher Sharon Carlson seemed busier than usual last spring, it was most likely due to both of her daughters getting married – less than two months apart! Daughter Ashley wed Kevin Thompson in March at 128 South in Wilmington. Daughter Emilee (STS Class of 2006) wed Lance Carrier in May at Hudson Manor in Louisburg.

STS extends a warm welcome to our new faculty: (front) Dr. Jane Elkins (MS writer’s workshop), Jennifer Scully (grade 2) Hayden Holt (Spanish), (back) Keaton Albert (MS service learning), Sara Mann (MS math), Rob Cocker (network administrator/IT specialist), Christine Schumann (kindergarten) and Becky Harris (kindergarten assistant). Missing from the photo is Brian Russell, assistant athletic director.


Sarah Stanley and Brandon Bogumil are among 15 educators throughout North Carolina who were selected to join EDEx, a newly-formed cohort for those interested in teaching design thinking and using it to enhance their classroom curriculum.

EDEx kicked off at the Hopscotch Design Festival in Raleigh in September when participants met with renowned leaders in design innovation and explored practical ways to bring design into the classroom.

Stanley and Bogumil are no strangers to the mindset of design thinking’s approach to learning, collaboration and problem solving.

Last year, Bogumil transformed a technology lab of desktop computers into The Imagination Lab, a creative space where lower school students use technology to solve simple problems by brainstorming, designing solutions and evaluating their effectiveness.

This year, Stanley transitioned another technology lab into The Editor, a similar space with more complex challenges for middle school students.

As a part of EdEx the pair will meet throughout the school year with top innovators across the state, get hands-on experience with design thinking tools and bring this knowledge back to enhance their makerspaces at St. Timothy’s.

In addition to EDEx, Bogumil was accepted into the Teacher Advisory Group at the College of Design at North Carolina State University. This group meets monthly with the College’s K-12 Design Lab to advise on developing programs for teachers and students.

Leaving His Mark At The U.S. Air Force AcademyAlum Nico Hillmann, who earned his private pilot’s license before graduating high school,

is a member of the Class of 2019 at the United States Air Force Academy.

If that’s not enough to impress, consider this: As a sophomore last spring, he traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the International Congress of Hispanic Literature conference on Latin American authors from the 1500s to the present. Hillmann, one of four cadets selected to attend, presented an analysis of a mid-1500s novel.

Majoring in international affairs with an emphasis on military strategy and Latin America, Hillmann is minoring in Spanish. Academic subjects, however, are just a part of his training at the Air Force Academy.

After a try-out process that encompassed his entire fourth-class (freshman) year, he was invited to join the Precision Flying Team, a group of 27 select cadets

As Hillmann explains, not all cadets intend to become Air Force pilots. Some prefer a career in aeronautical research or another science in the private sector, but he is among the roughly 50% with USAF pilot aspirations.

In his perfect world, Hillmann said, “I’ll fly the A-10, an aircraft with the sole purpose of providing air support for troops in contact, for as long as they’ll let me.”

NICO HILLMANN:

“I’ll fly the A-10, an

aircraft with the sole

purpose of providing

air support for troops

in contact, for as long

as they’ll let me.”


There is a holiness about time. Whether we think time is a man-made construct or a gift

God has given us to enjoy while we are here on earth, makes no difference. When we

think about time, especially the passage of time, we naturally attach a sacred meaning to

it. Of course, in the Church, we mark time as sacred because we believe all time is veiled

in the birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. We are here living

our lives under the presence of the Holy Ghost and waiting for Jesus Christ to come again

in glory as He said He would. That makes any time a sacred or holy time. We even mark

our years by the amount of time from His Resurrection, 2017 years.

There’s no mistaking the sacredness of time and we mark the special times of our lives by

giving thanks to God in prayer. We have a local tradition in the chapel services here at

St. Timothy’s School that helps remind us of the holy and special times of our lives. The

tradition also reminds us that God made each one of us in His image and that He loves

each one of us. We do this by praying for each student, teacher and staff member in the

month of his or her birthday. After the special birthday prayer, each person celebrating a

birthday that month receives a prayer card with a birthday blessing.

Beyond marking our own birthdays, we are this year celebrating the 60th birthday of

our own St. Timothy’s School. What a wonderful time to give thanks for the blessings

we have known by being part of this school. With the passing of each year, our school

becomes more and more special to us. There is a weight, a respect, an honor given

to institutions that pass the test of time. The honor and thanksgiving become more

meaningful because, with the increase of time, schools like ours become better and better.

Since we are 60 years old, we have gained the experience and knowledge of how to do

things the right way. We are actually improving with time.

There is still another great blessing we know from the witness of St. Timothy’s School.

With our 60 years of faithful witness to the education of children, thousands have been

taught, prayed for, and sent on to continue growing into the faithful and bright young

men and women God has called them to be. Happy Birthday, St. Timothy’s, and may

God continue to bless you with everything you need to grow and flourish.

Father Jay C. James

Rector of St. Timothy’s Church and

Chaplain of St. Timothy’s School
