A LETTER FROM TOM MAIN

Dear King Community:

It is a pleasure for me to introduce each issue of Quest Magazine. A review of this issue’s

articles illustrates the incredible depth and breadth of the King program and experience.

Step into Grade 2 and learn about our highly effective LS Writers’ Workshop, imagine the

thrill of MS students exercising their right to vote, and climb aboard the interdisciplinary

US Expeditionary Studies course! You can also discover our focus on computer science,

and celebrate the great success of our Model UN Club, and our champion volleyball and

football teams. There’s even a wonderful section chronicling the history of our drama

and performing arts program. This is just a sampling of the content you’ll enjoy in Quest

as you explore the astonishing quality and range of the King educational programs.

We are indeed fortunate to have so many exceptional educators and fine students who

are deeply committed to excellence in so many ways. Their efforts result in such rich,

meaningful experiences.

Additionally, we’re happy to share our 2015-2016 Annual Report. It is always humbling

for me to review this list of individuals and families who support our school in such a

meaningful way. The programs you read about in Quest Magazine simply would not be

possible without the philanthropic success to which so many school families are deeply

committed. This support is a cornerstone of our institutional strength and our students

are the daily beneficiaries. Thank you to everyone who has chosen to make King a

philanthropic priority. Your generosity makes a difference.

Sincerely,

Thomas B. MainHead of School

QuestAs I sit down to compose this message, the

King campus is quiet. Students have left for

winter break and a peaceful silence has settled

in. It’s not uncommon at this time of year to

reflect on the past 12 months with celebration

and regret. But by the time you read this note,

we will be well into 2017. Rather than look

back, let’s look ahead and set goals that are

realistic and achievable.

A fresh start gives us a chance to assess which

of our habits and mindsets need to be tweaked,

eliminated, or strengthened and make changes.

I have vowed to travel more in 2017 and visit at

least one new destination in the United States,

creating new memories along the way. This

edition of Quest is filled with numerous stories,

all of which have created lifelong memories for

our students and our community. Let's create

more. My top five resolutions for our students

in 2017 are:

1. Think like a leader: inquire about participating

in the Global Education Leadership Summit

in February. Be a role model to the younger

students, they look up to you!

2. Be a champion: give 100% on the field/court

and aspire to be part of a championship team.

3. Step out of your comfort zone: take risks in

the classroom or on the stage and uncover a

hidden passion.

4. Rock the list: the Class of 2017 Matriculation

list will be amazing … have faith.

5. Practice the King Virtues and live as the best

possible you!

I wish our entire community a happy and

healthy 2017.

The sound of silence was nowhere to be found on October 28

when Grade 3 students gathered to present their self-made sound

devices to fellow students, parents, Faculty, and staff during the

Annual Sound Fair. Each student made a unique sound device,

which included everything from handmade guitars to telephone

cups, and demonstrated complex sound concepts like vibration,

pitch, and amplitude. "Making my sound device was so much fun!

I learned a lot about sound and I am proud of how my sound

device turned out," said Grade 3 student Kayla Ward.

The Grade 3 Team was delighted to see students exercise their

creativity and problem solving skills for the project. Wendy Kerr,

Grade 3 Faculty, commented, "this assignment lends itself to

exposing the students to a direct experience of the Engineering

Design Process. They move through all five phases of the process:

Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve as they develop and

enhance their sound devices. Our job is to provide the materials

and the support to allow the students themselves to troubleshoot

and refine their original concept. We will continue to draw on this

process throughout the year as we move through our curriculum

on energy."

Throughout the year, Grade 3 will continue their energy focus,

moving from sound to motion. "I enjoyed creating my Pan Flute

from scratch and modifying the design as I went along. The Sound

Fair was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to studying motion

next," said Grade 3 student Tal Aluf Medina.

On a rainy day last fall, Grade 2 students gathered around a paper ‘campfire’ huddled on the floor in sleeping bags, as each student read aloud a story they had written. This event was the culmination of a five week unit which focused on narrative writing. At the end of the unit, each student had written a four page story about one “small moment” in their lives and shared it with their classmates. “Since our unit involved Jane Yolen's Owl Moon as a mentor text, lights were off in the classroom and we projected an image of a full moon on the smart board. Students took turns reading their stories with the help of a flashlight,” said Lori McNulty, Grade 2 Faculty. “It was a wonderful celebration of their first milestone in this year's Writers' Workshop program.”

The Writers’ Workshop program in the Lower School utilizes the Teachers College (Columbia University) Reading and Writing Project Units of Study in Writing. These units of study in opinion,

information, and narrative genres of writing offer our students a comprehensive and exciting curriculum that touches on the prominent genres of writing that students will need to become familiar with moving into Middle and Upper School. “It is a dynamic and highly research-backed program that engages students to plan, draft, edit, and revise their writing in a goal-oriented manner that encourages writer independence and creativity in each student’s written expression. Using consistent language, classroom structure, and integrated performance assessments within the program, teachers are able to work with student’s personal writing goals and develop their writing along grade-level learning progressions,” said Lindsay Wyman, LS Director of Teaching and Learning.

In Grade 2, students worked on their stories daily and completed all the steps of the writing process, including planning, writing, revising and editing. They learned how to make meaningful word choices, how to make characters

move through actions and dialogue, and how to create a feeling or mood for their story. “The campfire was a special way to celebrate their creativity and how much they have all grown as writers,” said Mrs. McNulty.

Each week during Writers’ Workshop time in classrooms throughout the Lower School, students work on one of the genres of writing, either Opinion, Narrative, or Informational. Throughout the writing process, teachers are guiding students in small group conferences and 1:1 conferring sessions, to work on personalized goals to help each writer/author improve upon their written work. "Author celebrations” in the classrooms encourage students to own their own creativity and independence in creating their own pieces of written expression. “The celebrations, like the Grade 2 ‘campfire’ storytelling, allow students to see themselves not only as students in a classroom, but as authors of these differentgenres of writing,” said Ms. Wyman.

Dry Ice Week, a yearly tradition in the LS Science program, takes place every year around Halloween and offers a teaching opportunity for students to learn about properties of frozen CO2. Younger students begin the year by talking about matter and properties of matter. During this introduction, students investigate the phases of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Dry Ice is an interesting example because at room temperature, it is a gas and requires high pressure to become a liquid.

Grade 5 begins the year with an introduction to chemistry. During this introduction, students learn about chemical and physical changes, phases of matter and matter behavior, atoms, molecules, acids and bases, and the Periodic Table of Elements. Grade 5 uses Vernier pH sensors to track the change in pH of a liquid as they add dry ice to it. As the process of sublimation takes place, it produces carbonic acid which results in a drop of pH levels over time, and students witness this change happening on a live chart displayed on the smart board. Students in Grade 5 have a deeper understanding of CO2 through the introduction to chemistry, and they act as mentors and guides for the younger groups as they safely investigate dry ice at the science benches.

Shevon Morris, LS Science Faculty, was happy to oversee another successful Dry Ice Week. Ms. Morris added, "I am always amazed by what students can bring into the conversation about dry ice. For example, Kindergarten student, Evan Ingrum, shared a story that his grandfather told him about how canaries were used by miners to check for the presence of CO2 in the mines. He said that they would send the canaries in first to see if it was safe to go into mines."

Kindergarten student, Kate Oudsema, said, "I loved getting to play with the dry ice gas! When I popped the bubbles at my table, I could feel how cold the glass got after the dry ice was in the water for a few minutes."

Each year, just before Thanksgiving, students from the Middle and Upper Schools walk through the MS Atrium and stop to peek at the Grade 2 Cafe with a twinge of nostalgia. "The older students look in and say, 'Oh, it's that time of year again'," said Karen Raidt, Head of Lower School. "This event has become a yearly tradition for the Lower School and it's nice to see the younger students looking forward to it, but it’s equally satisfying to see the older students reminiscing about their event from years ago.”

This was the 27th year that Grade 2 students have hosted a Thanksgiving lunch for their families. Students and teachers have partnered together to grow this event from bagged lunches to a full meal prepared and served by the students themselves. It's a tradition that has become deeply ingrained in the King community, something that generations of students, both older and younger, look forward to each autumn. This year, parents and siblings at the Grade 2 Cafe were treated to veggie appetizers, deli-style sandwiches, and brownies decorated with candy turkeys - all cooked by Grade 2 (with supervision and support from their teachers). On the day of the feast, students delighted in playing roles as greeters, chefs, waiters/waitresses, and bussers, tasked with taking orders, bringing the food out to tables, cleaning up afterwards, and tallying up the proceeds. Everything collected from the lunch sales at the Grade 2 Cafe is donated to a charity of the students' choosing; past gifts have gone to aid causes including UNICEF and endangered species organizations. This year, Grade 2 purchased 17 teddy bears with the pro�ts (one from each student) to donate to the Varsity Hockey Team’s ‘Teddy Bear Toss’ in late December to bene�t Person-to-Person's Toy Drive. Grade 2 adopted the Varsity Hockey team as part of the LS adopt-a-team Super Fans for the winter season.

In addition to being a fun activity, the Cafe is also a chance for students to use their classroom skills in an inventive, engaging way: students labeled the appetizers at the feast in both English and Spanish, and wrote opinion pieces explaining which foods they recommended be included in the event. "Eat more vegetables," said Samantha Tillman, Grade 2 student. "Because they're healthier for you."

Dry Ice Week

Students in Grade 5 have a deeper understanding

of CO2 through the introduction to chemistry,

and they act as mentors and guides for the younger

groups as they safely investigate dry ice at the

science benches.

The Cafe is an opportunity to meld di�erent disciplines like math, art, and cooking with more intangible lessons such as kindness, politeness, and maturity. "The students take it seriously and feel very responsible for their job and for helping each other." – Karen Raidt, Head of Lower School

To capture the excitement of Election Day, the Middle School organized a series of events on Tuesday, November 8, to engage students and Faculty.

• The entire Middle School community - students, Faculty and staff - were given the power to vote. Four voting "booths" were stationed in the Media Center and the citizens of our community officially checked in at the voting registration desks, in the Atrium, in order to exercise their right.

• U.S. flags adorned the walls of the Atrium. The walls of the MS Commons were decorated with many posters, created by Mr. Waller’s Grade 6 History classes, explaining specific aspects of the election day process, including the function of the Electoral College, the platforms of each candidate (including description of specific issues - immigration, ISIS, economy, etc), and the results of recent elections.

• A large map of the United States, featuring the number of electoral votes per state, the projected result (Democrat or Republican) in each state, and the battleground states, hung in the MS Commons.

• The national election coverage was live streamed throughout the day on the big screen in the Commons, and Rob Waller, George Lewis, and Ken Lewis (All MS History Faculty) were available for questions from the students.

The event was a great follow-up to the discussions in MS History classes and the Grade 8 backchannel chats during the debates. “I am most proud of the fact that these students will always remember that their first opportunity to vote as a U.S. citizen was during their Middle School years at King. This great memory will be carried forever. I am also impressed by their great interest in political issues, and the knowledge, and distinctive opinions, they share,” said Ken Lewis. “The excitement was infectious.”

“When we voted it felt like we had a voice that could be heard and actually mattered. It was awesome. We want to do it again and again. We can't wait to be able to vote for real!” Mariana McOsker ‘22 and Taylor Tapscott ‘22

Ken Lewis, MS History Faculty, challenged his Grade 8 ‘U.S. and the World’ History class to form opinions and become active, engaged citizens during the 2016 Presidential and Vice Presidential campaigns. Last fall, Mr. Lewis conducted "backchannel chats" during each debate, which provided an educational and fun forum for the students. A backchannel chat is a digital conversation that provides students with an outlet to engage in conversation during an activity, in this case, while they were home watching a televised debate. Students were asked to provide comments on their observations and perspectives during the debate, in real time. This created a steady stream of responses that everyone could read, "like" (the app has a "like" feature just like Facebook which denotes that the reader agrees), and respond. “The beauty of this exercise is that it provides a safe group forum for students who do not process information at the same pace as their classmates; it gives a "voice" to my quietest students who are hesitant to speak in class; and it also represents an outlet for all students to share their thoughts as they formulate them,” said Mr. Lewis.

According to ‘OurWhiteHouse.org’, whose mission is to educate, inform, and advocate for young people, literacy, literature, and libraries, “If we want young people to be as excited about their right to vote as they are about obtaining their driver’s licenses, we need to enthusiastically share our own interest in the election process with them. Watching the presidential debates together as a family is a great place to start.”

Following the debates, Mr. Lewis recorded the most serious, informative, and "revealing" comments on paper and discussed them in class the next day. This helped students understand di�erent perspectives and how we acquire our "political bias" during the election process. Mr. Lewis even shared a list of humorous responses, which students called the "outtakes," to enjoy in class.

DEBATING THE DEBATES

“I felt like you actually have a say in the society. It was cool because you have to really think about it.” George Papanicolaou ‘21

“It felt good to vote at school. I think it was well organized and planned by the King teachers and staff. It’s cool to see who our school favors.” Jack Czaja ‘21

In addition to the Election Day activities, there was great follow-up in the history classes the day following the election. Students were allowed to share their feelings and perspectives on the results, and the discussion was vital to their understanding of the political process. “Seeing the range of emotions as well as the perceptive responses demonstrated just how vested the students became during the election period. They certainly have a lot to look forward to, including, for many of the Grade 8 students, their first opportunity to vote in a real election in four years,” says Mr. Lewis.

Exercising Our Right

“It was a great experience to put myself in the shoes of a real adult. I was extremely glad to finally be able to make my own decisions in politics and understand the candidates thoroughly.” Sean Mullen ‘21

Middle School is a time of transition and preparation, when self-knowledge becomes a key part of future success. To this end, our MS students are put front and center during the annual student-led parent-teacher conferences, which take place in November to track a student's progress in the first semester. It's a chance for students to take an active role in the discussion about their strengths and weaknesses and to work with both their Advisor and their parents to understand how they learn and improve. "We strive to cultivate in our students a real ownership around their own learning, and student-led conferences are a crucial step in this process," said Chris Cunningham, Head of Middle School. "While we certainly hope that the process is helpful for families, the act of self-reflection on the part of the student is the main goal of the conference. We want students to critically assess their work, to honestly gauge their progress, and to identify personal areas for improvement, as these are the hallmarks of a lifelong learner.”

These conferences are more like a discussion between the parent and child, with the Advisor supervising the discussion. Students are encouraged to talk about ways they have already grown this year, areas where they'd like to continue to improve, strategies to support their improvement, and overarching goals for the year. The focus is not simply on getting better grades, but on building the student's understanding of the way he or she learns. Goals are not just academic, but also social, including speaking up in class, joining more team activities or practicing better organizational skills.

"I feel the conferences give me a window into the dynamics at home and I like seeing the parent/child interaction," said Brian Coughlan, Assistant Dean of Faculty. "Having the student-led conferences gives the student some ownership and voice into their education. When the student starts to see the differences, they then internalize the lesson more and hopefully gain better work/study habits."

For parents, the process is a valuable insight into the way their child is growing as a student. "The student-led conference is a great part of the King experience," said Doug Perlman, whose son, Chase, is a Grade 7 student. "The preparation for the conference is a terrific opportunity for students to pause and reflect on their strengths and areas for potential improvement. The conference itself allows students to work on their speaking and presentation skills and often fosters a constructive dialogue among the student, parents, and Advisor. We frequently discuss school with our boys and every year we learn something new. Everyone benefits from the process."

Grade 8 students Ethan and Abigail Anderson have been at King since Grade 4 and, in their third year of student-led conferences, have gained from the experience, as their mother, Heather Anderson, can attest. "The fact that this conversation is held with the students’ parents and Advisor present, makes the student much more accountable," Anderson said. "There is always room for growth for all levels of student." “It makes me feel more in control of what I need to do to improve," said Abigail. Ethan added: "It’s good for us to know what our parents and teachers think. We can talk to our teachers and parents and know how we can fix a problem.”

Student-Led Conferences

Most of all, students learn to self-evaluate, to present an assess-ment of their progress to the adults in their life with maturity, poise and a sense of responsibility in their own success — valuable qualities to take with them into the next step at King.

"We like to see our Grade 9 students start the year with that sense of confidence that comes from knowingquite a bit about oneself as a learner — and knowing how to advocate for oneself and take advantage of all the rich challenges that Upper School brings."

– Marnie Sadlowsky Head of Upper School

For lessons in leadership, cooperation, and public service, look no further than the Middle School Student Council. The governing body made up of 11 students, chosen at the start of the year by two school-wide elections, is taking an active role in making sure their voices are heard in the classroom, the dining hall, and beyond.

At a November meeting, the members gathered in Jenna Adimari’s, MS Student Council Advisor, classroom to discuss an important issue to the student body: gaining more flex time. Other hot button topics this year include implementing different snack food, longer lunch times and changes to the dress code, along with new ideas introduced by the council members themselves. Grade 6 student Nicole Barrera, the Student Council's Treasurer, ran with the idea of introducing a King Virtues Week, where each day would celebrate one of the school's four virtues — Integrity, Kindness, Perseverance, and Respect — and motivate students to find ways to embrace the Virtues in the classroom.

"I think it's really important that students learn how to have their voices heard," says Ms. Adimari. "I believe it's a great opportunity for them to learn how to construct an argument and present it to someone in a position of authority. And, it's also important for them to experience winning victories they've fought for."

One of these victories was already won this year: the dress code has been altered to allow students to wear King sweatshirts, a change for which the Student Council advocated. "It feels good to help out your peers," says Nicole Barrera.

How is Matter Recycled on our Planet?The unit included the study of biological, geological, and chemicalprocesses that recycle matter in a continuous flow and the interconnectedness on our planet. Once these understandings were achieved, students further investigated human impact on the four cycles and they posed another essential question, "How do humans affect the four cycles of matter on a global scale?"

To better understand the unit, Ms. Silbereisen challenged students with a conceptual project, the Cycles of Matter Comic Strip. “Rather than tell me that they understood the concept, I wanted students to show me. Each student was randomly assigned one of the cycles of matter the planning and assembling for the comic strip took place in class. In the end, they created characters, homes, a story, and more. They presented their comics to the class and explained some human activities that can impact their cycle in a negative way.”

Grade 6 student Lilah Sweillam enjoyed the project and being creative with the comic strip. “I did learn that it helps to be organized and plan everything out before you begin any project.”

Ellie Glinka’s favorite part of the project was learning about the water cycle while Jonathan Decker loved the carbon cycle. Elizabeth King enjoyed studying the oxygen cycle and how humans affect it. “After completing this project, I have a better understanding of the water cycle which will be helpful for my future studies” said Ellie.

Recycling has become a way of life for all of us but the earth has been doing it for billions of years. Last fall, in Lindsay Silbereisen’s ‘Cycles of Matter’ unit, Grade 6 students explored the essential question of, "How is matter recycled on our planet?”

Lessons in Leadership

Aside from the traditional roles of President, Treasurer and Secretary, the council also includes two representatives for each grade who are tasked with advocating on behalf of their fellow Grade 6, 7 and 8 students. This is also the second year that the student council has included two diversity leaders, Grade 7 students Nicole Roer and Emmi Freeman, "Studies show that kids have good ideas and can provide input from their perspective," says Emmi Freeman.

Ethan Anderson, Grade 8, Student Council Co-President: "I ran because it's a great opportunity. I wanted to expand on leadership skills. I also really like public speaking."

Wafa Nomani, Grade 8, Student Council Co-President: "I wanted to listen to my peers, to take their ideas into consideration and hopefully make them a reality."

On a beautiful afternoon last fall, students in my English 10 Honors classes had the pleasure of reading, writing, and brain-storming while walking. The immediate goal was to generate ideas for a writing project that asked students to envision a cinematic adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) – a classic horror novel exploring the con¦ict between Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation. Rather than sit in their chairs and worry about the upcoming assignment, we strolled over to the sports �elds for what I call a “literary ramble.” The exercise – in all senses of the term – really got going when students began to experiment with Twitter, Instagram,

camera phones, electronic notepads, or dictation software as they walked along. Some even tried pen and paper and found themselves reevaluating their approach to composition as a result. As one might expect, it is di§cult, if not impossible, to compose full sentences while walking. In fact, the activity was expressly designed to resist focused writing in an e�ort to mitigate stress and mental fatigue. Instead,the literary ramble invited students to explore the possibility that “messy” writ-ing, non-linear thinking, and a meditativeawareness of one’s surroundings are generative in their own way. Taking a stroll o�ered the class the breathing room to let the ideas ¦ow freely without the pressure to get the words exactly right, and many

students found themselves enjoying the pre-writing process. At the end of our hour-long walking session, students did not come away with polished sentences. Rather, they identi�ed a set of nascent ideas that were subsequently developed into freshly authentic essays. My premise is that ambulatory compositionfrees up the mind to wander from one topic to the next, generate new ideas, get momentarily distracted by the scenery before returning with an unexpected insight. Activating the body also activates the mind, I would argue, most especially for adolescents who can become cognitively sti¦ed by the physiological demands of sittingin one place for an extended period of time.

Reading, Writing & Brainstorming ... on the GoBy Dr. Daniel Block, US English Faculty

Within the context of a unit on Frankenstein, the exercise of reading, writing, and brainstorming on the go has particular usefulness as a strategy for not just conceptualizing the characters but experiencing the visceral power of Mary Shelley’s language. Famously, James Whale’s 1931 �lm adaptation of the novel made the creature into a lumbering, inarticulate monster and Victor Frankenstein into a mad scientist. So when students turned to the text, they were surprised to discover that Shelley originally imagined the characters quite di�erently: unbridled rage is the hallmark of Victor’s character whereas the creature stands out for his uncanny eloquence and sympathetic disposition.

To get behind the popular misconceptions fostered by Hollywood, I encouraged students to enact dramatic readings of Shelley’s dialogue at maximum volume. And since we were outside, no one was bothered by the noise. Before too long, students were standing atop the embankment running parallel to the �eld hockey �eld giving full vent to Victor’s fury at his creation: “Devil … do you dare approach me? and do not you fear the �erce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head?” A young man reacted by climbing onto the nearby bleachers to deliver the creature’s measured response as if he were eight feet tall: “I expected this reception …

All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!.” Rather than work through a close textual analysis of the dialogue as we usually do in class, the experience of reading outside and on the go enabled students to inhabit the characters, experience the intensity of emotion through their dramatization, and perhaps connect with the material on a deeper level. On our admittedly reluctant return to the classroom, students were enlivened by the exercise and primed to strengthen the connection between thought and experience, re¦ection and action, their work in class and out.

The US Model United Nations Club (MUNC) at King promotes student understanding of international issues and relations, as well as the role and procedures of the United Nations. It is also an opportunity for students to measure themselves in interaction with other able and motivated students from around the world. In November, 20 students participated in this year’s Brown University simulation of the United Nations and certainly found themselves measuring up very well! Two US students won awards, which is an amazing achievement given that they competed against nearly 1000 students from different schools around the world, for only five awards. Hannah Berrick ‘19 received a commendation for representing the United Kingdom in the General Assembly’s Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian Committee, and Mathilda Von Guttenberg ‘20 won second place, outstanding delegate award for representing the Netherlands in the General Assembly’s World Health Organization.

Hannah debated the topics of preserving the media and journalistic freedoms in Eastern Europe, protecting the rights of indigenous people in the Asia-Pacific region, and human rights violations in refugee camps. Mathilda debated the topics of incentives relating to organ donations, prevention and control of non-communicative diseases, and the issue of drug patents in relation to developing countries.

“This was my first Model UN conference and my goal was to learn from more experienced delegates and strengthen my public speaking skills. So, when I did receive an award, I felt pride in knowing that I continued the King legacy at Brown. Model UN doesn't just teach us about diplomacy and global issues, but it also teaches us how to help each other and support one another,” says Hannah.

The Brown conference was the first MUN event for Mathilda, a new Grade 9 student this year, and she thanked Mr. Galanopoulos and Megan Glinka ‘17, MUN Club Leader, for making it a wonderful experience. “I went to the conference with little expectations. All I wanted out of my first conference was to see how everything runs and to have fun. However, It turned out to be much more than that. Not only did I get the chance to spend time with students from many different countries and different backgrounds, but I got the chance to discuss and solve issues that are current in this world in front of one of the biggest committees at the conference, the World Health Committee. Model UN this year was amazing and I look forward to participating in the future and hopefully improving every year.”

During the simulation, our students participated actively in lobbying, sponsoring, writing, and passing resolutions on pertinent global topics. “It was truly wonderful to see our students actively and seriously engaged in a highly competitive venue, and an intellectually charged and intensive atmosphere,” says Christos Galanopoulos, MUNC Faculty Advisor.

A Model for the World King Home Conference:Building on the success of Brown MUN, King hosted a home conference In December, for our US Club. The day included a speaker panel and two committee sessions. King welcomed Jessica Faieta, Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, who discussed current political trends in Latin America, and Judith Karl, Executive Director of UN Capital Development Fund, who elaborated on how the UN interacts with the private sector. The student committees were United Nations Economic and Social Council, World Health Organization, Unification of Germany 1865-1871, and America During the Second Red Scare. “We worked incredibly hard on our background guides and came up with very interesting topics for the delegates to debate. The delegates were engaged and asked lots of questions to further their understanding. The older students were able to advise them on many issues that will be crucial for future conferences. This conference proved that King MUN has a very bright future ahead,” said Club Leader Megan Glinka ‘17.

“The two distinguished speakers gave us useful perspectives on how to approach problems facing the UN and students raised provocative questions. Overall, there was a healthy and provocative academic climate throughout the conference,” said Mr. Galanopoulos. "Not only were participants in the King MUN conference able to learn about events (both past and present) but they were also able to polish their understanding of how to craft position papers, working papers, and draft resolutions effectively,” said Club Leader Richard Jove ‘17.

In late October, King had the pleasure of welcoming former Treasurer Rosie Rios to speak to US students and Faculty. The 43rd Treasurer of the United States discussed many topics including her campaign to place historical women and minority figures on currency. Treasurer Rios’ relentless persistence will finally be realized in 2020 when Harriet Tubman will be featured on the $20 bill. This year also coincides with the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote. Jason Tifford ’18 was instrumental in securing Ms. Rios’ visit. “I enjoyed this presentation and I admire Treasurer Rios’ dedication to putting a woman on United States paper currency, which no one has ever done, or even tried.” Treasurer Rios also discussed her new initiative ‘Teachers Righting History’ – an educational project that highlights historic American women in classrooms across the country. US students also heard more about her career in government, and how it changed Treasurer Rios to become who she is today.

“My goal is not to simply discuss the importance of women in history, but to give credit to those who have been forgotten.” – Rosie Rios

“Ms. Rios said ‘You have to look back, in order to move forward’ and I think that was the most compelling quote from her presentation,” added Jason.

There was an excess of Raspberry Pis and a plentiful number of uses. That was reason enough for Eamonn Nugent ‘19 and Tristan Golden ‘19 to create the US Computer Hardware Club - a new club offering this year. “The idea to build a high performance compute cluster originated from several students requiring a large amount of computing resources, and no current feasible way to provide them. We decided to use the Pis to build King a supercomputer. By the end of the academic year, we hope to have the cluster up and running, providing compute resources for classes and students working on independent projects,” said Eamonn.

According to RaspberryPi.com, the Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer that can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the Internet, and playing games. Sue Heintz, Computer Science and Digital Applications Faculty, is the Club Adviser. “Tristan and Eamonn have had a desire to build a computer and this was the perfect opportunity. Tristan’s father donated five old computers for the exercise of taking them apart and understanding how they work,” said Ms. Heintz. The Club worked with Mark Silence, Performing Arts Faculty, to design and build the case that will house the computer. “I've always been interested in computers, and spending time in school working with them is like a mini dream come true,” said Eamonn. “Since I was young, I've been taking computers apart and playing with them. I enjoy the sheer logic involved, that no problem is unsolvable.”

During a Club meeting in early December, students set up the circuit boards by installing a heat sink on each board. Next, they will mount the boards into the cases, install the operating system, and begin setting up the software. “Their goal is to move the completed computer to the science department so students can begin to do complicated computational chemistry problems,” said Ms. Heintz. Ideally, the Club would like to develop classes around the cluster, teaching students how to use it properly, and have students utilize software installed to perform their own tasks. “We hope to complete the compute cluster by the end of the year and with the unused computers, maybe we can make a laptop to give to students in need of computers,” said Tristan. “Upon completion, the cluster will be christened Nebula, preferably without champagne,” adds Eamonn.

In Grade 12, the college counseling office becomes

a senior’s best resource. Counselors are there to make sure seniors get all their applications in on time, get the necessary

recommendations, and help them fill out the common app. They push seniors to visit the campuses

and listen to excited reports of sprawling grass lawns or bustling city environments. They are, it seems, the “Yodas” of the process: Get in to college you will! Their calm attitude almost makes the process look easy.

Ask any Grade 12 student, and they’ll tell you that the pressure is on senior year. They are, most definitely, not so relaxed. Not only do they themselves know how significant the time is — how to juggle applying to college with playing sports, with getting good grades, playing sports, and, most importantly going to the candy bar and doing parent-sponsored yoga stress busters — but also it seems that everyone in the outside world, from strangers to well-intentioned relatives, enjoys asking if you know where you’re going yet. For seniors, the checklist before deadlines seems endless: make a prospective list, visit the campus, write the essay, write the supplements, get the grades, apply on time, do the interview. Assuredly, only some parts of the process are fun. As Megan Glinka ‘17 admitted this fall, “I really enjoyed the process of visiting lots of different campuses and meeting different students. However, when it came time to submit applications, I was incredibly nervous. Now I’m just waiting for responses which is even more nerve wracking.”

Hitting send on the application is perhaps one of the most nail biting parts of the process. To think an application is now out of one’s hands is both relieving and concerning. Leaving a college counselors office, seniors know that they have just handed over an incredibly personal part of themselves on which they’ll be judged. Importantly, seniors also know that the Counselors have helped us be the best position for successful searching.

On the Road to CollegeBy Kayla Lichtman ‘17

The Senior Dilemma(Counselors) are, it seems, the “Yodas” of the process: Get in to college you will!

Their calm attitude almost makes the process look easy.

Below are some tips for seniors from Jessica Landis, Senior Associate

Director of College Counseling:

1. Every school on your college list should be one that you would be happy to attend, not just the reaches. There is no point in applying to schools that you have no interest in just because you will get in. Make sure that you are choosing "likely' schools that would be a good fit for you and where you could see yourself being happy.

2. Don't talk about the college process with your friends. No one ever follows this advice, but I will never stop saying it. Every year, ridiculous rumors pop up and all it does is create more anxiety for everyone. At the very least, come to your college counselor when you hear things that concern you so we can set the record straight for you.

3. Become best friends with your college counselor. Not literally, of course, but it's so important that we see you frequently during the senior year and ideally before then. When you are proactive about coming to see us, we can make sure your list is strong, your applications are on track, and that all of your questions are answered.

4. College decisions are not a referendum on you as a person. They are not accepting or denying you; they are accepting or denying your application. That may seem like a subtle distinction, but it's crucial to remember this.

5. Enjoy your senior year of high school. You only get one and you shouldn't waste it worrying about whether or not you will get into college. Spoiler alert: you will.

It was a perfect fall day on the King campus. The colors were in full bloom and our entire community - students, parents, Faculty and Staff - came together at our Admission Open House to provide a warm welcome for prospective families. The event, held on October 23, attracted 600 people, and volunteers served as enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guides assisting guests with confidence and ease. “At the end of the day, numerous guests commented to me that they were extremely impressed with the knowledge, confidence and kindness our students exhibited,” said Nina Newman, Director of Admission and Financial Aid.

Head of School Tom Main addressed a full house during the divisional programs. "This is one of the great freedoms of Independent Schools – we get to determine what is most important to us – and then pursue those goals with vigor and purpose," explained Mr. Main. He continued to highlight the four components, on which King focuses, to provide the best educational experience for students - characteristics parents should expect from King:

• Academic Excellence – King will challenge students and demand the best of them in the classroom.

• Exceptional Teaching – We have superb Faculty who are experts in their fields, true intellectuals who are extremely well educated themselves – and fantastic with children. Here at King, students have many role models.

• Thorough preparation for success at the most and highly selective colleges and universities, and in life beyond. Our matriculation list is impressive. We prepare our students to succeed at college – not just get there!

• Community – King will provide a community that is kind, safe, inviting, and supportive. A place where kids are comfortable and at ease tackling challenges and feel valued for who they are.

Kelly Conheeney '18 and Richard Jové '17 were the student speakers for the day, and they shared their King experiences with our guests. “Academically, I have been prepared for each new challenge that has come my way. Being a part of this community has allowed me to try new things, develop into a strong student, and make lifelong friendships,” said Kelly.

Richard commented that coming to King was the best decision he’s ever made. “King pushes you to venture into the unknown and also engage & become active in the community.”

RS Global Education Starts at King.

It was only a few days but the quick trip to Bogota, Colombia will make a world of difference for the King Cares Service Program and our community. In mid-December, Gilles Chosson, Director of Global Education, Jenna Temple, Director of King Cares Service Program, and Enzennio Mallozzi, Head Coach Varsity Boys’ Soccer, traveled to Bogota to meet with the Orphaned Starfish Foundation (OSF) and visit an orphanage that they hope to support in the coming years. The OSF is dedicated to working with orphans, victims of abuse, and at-risk youth. Their mission is to foster lasting change in the lives of the children they serve by giving them the opportunity to develop vocational skills through computer technology and gain employment that will enable them to overcome the cycle of poverty and abuse. OSF CEO Andy Stein commented, “I am so glad they were able to see firsthand the difference King is making in the lives of the children of Orphaned Starfish.”

The Varsity Boys soccer team has been raising money for the Orphaned Starfish Foundation for the past few years with their King Cares 5k event. “We traveled to Bogota to explore how we can strengthen our relationship and to discuss options and details to organize a King service trip one day,” said Ms. Temple. “This trip was the most meaningful trip I have taken. It provided a deeper understanding to all of the work we do for the King Cares 5k. Now the question is, how do we move forward and make a lasting difference.”

Even with the language barrier, Coach Mallozzi was able to make an instant connection through soccer. “I hope this trip is the start to a long partnership between King and the OSF. I think the relationship will be mutually beneficial and a special opportunity for children on both sides of the equation. We can all learn so much from each other. Our kids will be empowered by truly understanding the impact they are making around the world. At the same time, the OSF kids can offer a fresh perspective to us, enriching our appreciation for what we have.”

The group hopes to develop a deeper collaboration and foundation in terms of education but also create lasting friendships. “What a very special few days we experienced in Bogota - touching, humbling, heartwarming and extremely rewarding. I look forward to going back and spending more time. In the spirit of King’s Mission and Virtues, this is kindness in its finest form,” said Dr. Chosson.

In October, a group of Chinese teachers and administrators from the JianHua Experimental School, a private institutionin Beijing, visited King to observe our unique style of personalization and learn more about our Global Studies program. Several US Faculty invited the group of teachers and administrators to visit their classrooms.

The group expressed their thanks on how warmly they were welcomed by our Faculty and students. Ma Lu, the English teacher from Beijing attended various classes and communicated with the Faculty and students on many topics.

“What impressed us most was that everyone is so proud of King School, a great school with a long history and good reputation. We also look forward to further collaboration with King on international education and diversity program. We look forward to welcoming you in Beijing!”

– Ma Lu, the English teacher from Beijing

Gilles Chosson, Director of Global Education, spent the day with our visitors, and comments, "It was indeed a very fruitful visit and we all enjoyed hosting our distinguished guests. We had great conversations about potential future collaborations."

Welcoming our Friends from China

Our Dream is Singing with EveryoneBy Vanessa Odenbach, Marketing Manager

Students in Grade 3 were buzzing with excitement on a cold December morning while they awaited the arrival of their friends from The Greenwich Japanese School. As a part of a cultural exchange program, students from the Japanese-speaking school visit King once a year, and King students visit their school as well, in support of both schools’ commitment to global education, which begins with building an understanding and appreciation for different people and cultures.

The morning started with a greeting in Japanese from three King students. Koko Seagren, mother of Grade 3 student, Eric Seagren, is a native of Japan and fluent Japanese speaker. She played an integral role in teaching the students proper Japanese diction in the weeks leading up to the visit. “When Mrs. Mansfield (Grade 3 Faculty) first explained what she wanted to do, I thought it would be too difficult for them. But they worked really hard and rose to the occasion” said Mrs. Seagren.

It was a special day for student Eric Seagren, who rarely has the opportunity to share Japanese culture and his second language with his fellow classmates. Throughout the visit, he chatted excitedly in both languages and helped translate when students struggled with language barriers. “I usually like to keep my talents to myself, but it was nice to share them with everyone today,” said Eric.

The rest of the visit was spent playing games like “human

bingo” where students paired up with a Japanese buddy to find out what they have in common (like favorite places to travel or favorite subjects in school) and where their interests differed. They also spent time in groups doing scratch art, board games, building with legos and, of course, playing on the playground.

The yearly visit ended with The Greenwich Japanese School students singing a Japanese thank you song. This year, however, the King students surprised their Japanese counterparts by signing the song back to them in Japanese. “I am just so incredibly proud of them. They worked so hard to show the other students that they appreciated all their effort in speaking English to us each year.” commented Grade 3 Faculty, Jamie Mansfield.

CARES

The Boys Varsity Soccer team and volunteers welcomed more than 100 runners to the King campus on Sunday, October 30, to kick off the 4th Annual King Cares 5K. Prior to the start of the race, Boys Varsity Soccer Coach Enzennio Mallozzi and team captains, Michael Burke and Matthew Goodfellow, addressed the crowd, thanking them for their support. Captain Michael Burke '17 described the team's commitment to involving the greater community in the annual event: "Getting help outside the community brought the soccer team closer together and made us more driven to work toward our common goal. The outside help we received from local businesses, Barclays, and numerous families helped make this year’s 5k the most successful one yet."

Each team member was responsible for reaching out to friends, families and businesses outside of the King campus to drum up additional participants, sponsors and donations for the event. Their outreach and commitment to the event proved to be successful when they announced that they had raised over

DEFINING KING CARES SERVICE PROGRAM

Jenna TempleDirector of King Cares Service Program

Last summer, I was fortunate to receive a Faculty sabbatical that funded my wellness retreat and allowed me to focus on the King Cares Service Program. After researching various locations throughout the world, I decided on Canyon Ranch, in Tucson, Arizona, and nearby Dove Mountain for a few nights as well.

I had two major goals for my sabbatical. The �rst focused on wellness. For me, this meant physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. The other equally important goal was to work on the strategic plan for the Service Program.

With all that this adventure had to o�er, I was sure to include designated time for “work” in my daily schedule. Upon my arrival at Dove Mountain, my goal was to research and then edit and rewrite the King Cares Mission Statement so I could use my time at Canyon Ranch developing the actual strategic plan.

I started by researching the term “service learning.” Most references interchange service learning with community service. Upon stepping into my role as Director of King Cares Service Program, I was still trying to understand the di�erence. My research in Arizona taught me that service learning is related to curriculum, integrating meaningful service with re¦ection in the classroom. Much of the service in which we engage at King is not directly related to instruction in our core classes. Upon my return, I began to brainstorm with other Faculty and will unveil a new mission statement and strategic plan next year.

$30,000! Captain Matthew Goodfellow '17 commented, "I am very proud of the efforts from everyone on the team to incorporate businesses and members of their communities to benefit our cause. It was great to expand the 5k beyond the borders of King, and as a result our efforts have yielded greater donations than ever before."

The annual event benefits two non-profit organizations with local and international reach. Here at home, the team donates funds from the King Cares 5K to Boys and Girls Club of Stamford and Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich. In addition, the team volunteers their time at both organizations to teach, coach, and play soccer with local children. Internationally, the event benefits The Orphaned Starfish Foundation, which provides vocational and computer technology training to orphans, victims of abuse, and at-risk youth to enable them to overcome the cycle of poverty and abuse. The foundation has helped over 10,000 children through 50 programs in over 25 countries.

The community kicked o� its participation in the 22 Push-Up Challenge in November when PreK-Grade 12 students gathered with Faculty and Sta� on the turf �eld to remember and honor American veterans. After a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance, led by the LS Leadership Council, the entire community completed at least 22 push-ups at their own pace. Some students even surpassed 100 push-ups. In this event alone, we completed upwards of 16,000 push-ups!

Community members tracked their own pushups over 22 days: LS students completed their push-ups in PE class, while MS and US students completed their push-ups on campus and at home, and Faculty and sta� members kept track of their own results. It was a remarkable and rewarding Community experience.

The King Cares Service Program hosted the first Great Pumpkin Challenge in the LS Gymnasium in late October. Over 200 people gathered on campus to decorate pumpkins and help raise money for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a camp for children with cancer or severe blood disorders. The community raised $2,160, and King is proud to support this cause. In addition to the pumpkin decorating, the event activities also included a temporary tattoo station, face painting, and great conversations with community members.

Jenna Temple, Director, King Cares Service Program, was pleased with the support that we provided to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. "I was overwhelmed by the abundance of people who volunteered to help with this event. The amount of student and Faculty volunteers was amazing. With all the Fall events happening in the community, it was wonderful to see so many people from the King Community attend this event to raise money for such an important camp. Although the main goal was to raise money, the event also provided families an opportunity to spend time together, be creative, and celebrate the season. Overall it was a perfect Fall day."

Maria Gomez, Director of Annual Giving at Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, said, "The King School community is incredible and I love their commitment to giving back to the community in a variety of ways. I hope the guests walked away with heightened awareness of the kids and families served by Hole in the Wall and with enthusiasm for the upcoming Halloween activities."

King Community Gives BackStudents across all three divisions made quick, cheerful work of the King Cares Person-to-Person Food Drive in late November, just in time for Thanksgiving.

This year, students �lled 275 crates of food, making King's annual collection the top private donation of food to Person-to-Person in the state of Connecticut. The drive is a collaborative e�ort between students, parents and teachers, which helps Person-to-Person serve needy families in the Fair�eld County area. Last year, the nonpro�t was able to provide 759, 255 meals from food donations like King's — an enormous impact, said volunteer Norman Stone. "We're very grateful," Stone said as he helped students load up the two trucks full of food on Friday. "There's a tremendous need."

A large group of Middle and Upper School students collected donations outside the three divisions all week leading up to the �nal day, Friday, November 18. A new endeavor this year was sorting the donations. This gave students hands-on involvement in the annual drive, as they sorted cans and boxes of food and checked all expiration dates. The drive relied heavily on Michelle Sibrizzi's MS Cares Service Club and Cathy Mishkin's US Hope Club.

King parents Eileen Hillenmeyer, Heather Anderson, and Molly Zola were onsite helping students sort and load the food donations, which ranged from pasta sauce to peanut butter and jelly. Trader Joe's in Stamford donated 1,200 bags for food collection and students were responsible for attaching a wish list to each bag and bringing it home to �ll.

"I talked with some of the students and they said they learned that not everyone has the luxuries that we do and that we need to be appreciative of what we do have," said Betsy Pacey, Grade 5 Faculty. "The students were happy to be able to help others who are less fortunate than we are."

It was a chilly day in mid-December when 12 Faculty and six students departed for the airport bound for warmer weather in Atlanta. The group was headed to the 2016 NAIS People of Color Conference (POCC) and Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC) and it was more than the weather that lit a fire in their hearts and minds. The theme this year, Advancing Human and Civil Rights: Fulfilling the Dream Together, was a fitting motif for this year's location and a call to action for our schools in society. According to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) POCC website: “Rooted in the world-changing legacy of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we at NAIS and the conference co-chairs were united in a desire to invoke "the dream" as remembrance, aspiration, and inspiration for the work of equity, diversity, and social justice. Calling explicit attention to both human and civil rights invites critical thinking about the concerns of today and also recognizes the depth and comprehensiveness of Dr. King's approach to injustice and social equality.”

It was the first POCC experience for Chris Cunningham, Head of Middle School, and an extremely memorable one. “The conference had an excellent blend of philosophical and pedagogical discussions as well as some very practical and actionable workshops. I enjoyed Bryan Stevenson’s keynote speech on his work in striving to combat the inequities in our legal system and appreciated his advice to work to change the narratives around race in the country. There was also an excellent workshop on using the social studies curriculum to explore the similarities and differences between the 1960s Civil Rights Movement and the Black Lives Matter movement that will be worth exploring in King’s social studies curriculum.”

Jonathan Coulombe, US Dean of Students, commented that the theme, Advancing Human and Civil Rights: Fulfilling the Dream Together, aptly referenced Atlanta, the conference’s location, as the heart of the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement and birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Without question, this theme relates to the King School community in that we strive to embody our school virtues of Integrity, Kindness, Perseverance,

Reflecting on Our Own Identityand Respect. The conference expects each of us to reflect on our own identity (even our own various identities) and how our words, actions, and experiences affect those around us.”

A cornerstone of POCC/SDLC is the culmination each day when affinity groups meet to share and explore experiences within safe and supportive spaces . ”By surrounding oneself with supportive members of one affinity, one can better utilize shared experiences as a catalyst for change back home in our school community,” said Sebastian Gilbert, Computer Science and Digital Applications Faculty. “Affinity groups are some-times overwhelmingly powerful due not only to the multitudes of colorful members of the independent school community in one particular space, but also the acceptance in realizing this equity has not yet been reached in totality within NAIS schools. With an intellectual collective of differing worldviews being shared, it is impactfully resonant to recognize ourselves as trailblazers in equity and diversity.”

Among the six students traveling was Riley Jones ‘18 who now understands that the purpose of SDLC was not to teach you something but to present ideas and perspectives and allow you to interpret it in your own way. “ It was an amazing experience! I think many students believe that the conference encourages people only to think a certain way and have a certain mindset but that is just not true. I thought I knew everything about the spectrum but I was wrong. You cannot force young people who don't understand these topics to educate themselves and listen to you. What you can do is share what you know and how it may apply to other people and hope they learn something from you.”

Keeniun Brumskill, Director of Diversity, commented, "The conference had a deep focus on addressing important issues of equity and inclusion, and learning to engage in productive conversations. The conference helped reinforce the skills that King students learn daily. Each narrative taught them to understand that a leader is one who leads by example and inspires others. The conference provided us all with a powerful to-do list to support what King already has in place, to provide an inclusive community that is safe, respectful, appreciated, and supported by all.”

Make this summer a time for learning new skills while having loads of fun, by registering your son/daughter for the Summer Institute at King. The registration deadline is June 2.

The King Summer Institute (SI) had another successful season in 2016 with just over 200 participants in our different programs: daily Fun Camp, weekly sports offering, and three and six week academic classes. Of the hundreds of participants, 32% were non-King students and many of them came from surrounding public and private schools.

The Fun Camp had on average 12 campers a week, and ran for six weeks. They had weekly morning classes based on each week’s theme. Campers traveled off campus every afternoon for a field trip to surrounding attractions our area has to offer. Rockin’ Jump seemed to be one of the fan favorites!

Summer Institute offered 15 Upper School Academic courses; many of them were credit courses. Students enrolled in Mathematics, Public Speaking, Global Education, Writing, Computer Programming, and Art courses. Seven Middle School enrichment courses were offered, including two new classes, Anatomy and Grammar. Sports camps included Mountain Biking, Field Hockey, Volleyball, Baseball, and Basketball.

New last summer, Summer Institute collaborated with the Stamford Youth PEACE Basketball Foundation. PEACE, along with our King Varsity Coaches, hosted two, one-week sessions for children entering grades five through nine. We also had a number of students from the Foundation participate in many of SI’s academic courses, through PEACE’s “Beyond Limits Academic Program,” which provides opportunities to under-privileged youth.

We look forward to offering all students a great summer program for 2017!

On Tuesday, November 22, Tom Decker, Director of Athletics, addressed our fall athletes, coaches, and parents during the Fall Sports Awards Assembly in the PAC theater: "When reflecting upon the fall, my thoughts go back to the start of pre-season practices, when most of you sacrificed the opportunity to sleep late each morning, eat whatever you wanted, and live the unstructured life that summer

vacation provides. For these reasons, and many more, you made the commitment and sacrifices needed in order to prepare yourselves for your seasons. In return, despite all of the sore muscles, bumps, and bruises, you made a personal commitment to yourselves, to your teammates, to your coaches, and to your School. You were tested over the course of the season, and succeeded, as you developed from a group

of individuals into a team. This, coupled with the efforts your coaches put forth to prepare you, enabled all of you to achieve success. King was dominant in both the FAA and New England conference this fall. It did not, however, come without sacrifice, without the loss of a team member due to an injury, or at times even failure on the field.”

Girls' Soccer finished with 8 wins, the most in recent years, and came up short in a few games that could have easily put them over the .500 mark for the season, and they made it back to the FAA Tournament, where they gave #1 seed St. Luke's a run for their money.

Football, finished with a 9-1 record, capping off their season with a stellar 49-28 victory over the Tilton School for their first NE Championship in 20 years.

Our JV volleyball teams had great success, which included each team claiming first place finishes at the FAA JV Tournament, and our varsity team capped off their second straight 20-0 season when they defeated the MacDuffie School 3-0 in the NE Championship game.

“The time that you spent together this season as teammates, and as friends has been invaluable. You have grown as individuals, and have learned many lessons from your experiences.”

– Tom Decker

Athletes were tested

and achieved success

Despite not having the success they hoped for due to numerous injuries, Boys' Soccer played this season with a talented group of underclassmen, and their future is bright as well.

Cross-country had both individual and team successes, where the boys finished third in the FAA during the season, and fifth at the New England Championship Race. Additionally, Jonathan Richter finished in the top ten in the FAA Championship Race, and Rachel Bissell, John Kennedy, Richard Jove, and Harry Linnan finished in the top 20.

It was late December - there was no snow; no elaborate opening ceremony; and no world records were broken but that did not deter our LS students from enjoying and excelling in our LS Olympic Games. It was the 18th year that the LS Physical Education department hosted the Games, which brought student-athletes from all corners of the school into the gym for a week of games and activities including bobsled, luge, winter bowling, moguls, curling, speed skating, biathlon, skeleton, nordic combined and other relays.

Danny Gouin, Assistant Director of Athletics, Lower school PE supervisor, helped organize and facilitate the Olympics this year. “This unit in physical education allows students to compete in class as we keep score for the �rst time during the year, It also helps us to reinforce teamwork and sportsmanship concepts that we teach in class,” said Mr. Gouin.

The panel of judges included Danny Gouin, Karen Cella, Associate Director of Athletics, Mark McAndrews, LS Physical Education, and PE Interns Ali Stoddart and Mikey Serricchio. “We give points based on where each team �nishes each relay, three points for �rst, two points for second, one point for third. We also have points that each team can earn based on loudest team cheering, best sportsmanship, and straightest line,” added Mr. Gouin.

Karen Raidt, Head of Lower School, looks forward to this weeklong event every year. “I love watching the students participate and hearing them talk about the events with excitement. They encourage each other even if they’re on opposing teams. The Winter Olympics help to develop students’ sense of teamwork and respect for each other, and instills the spirit of competition and sportsmanship, preparing them for team sports in Middle and Upper School,” said Mrs. Raidt.

Setting Records in the Lower School!

Our fall athletes gathered on the turf field in mid September to hear from former NFL player and now motivational speaker Willie Green, thanks to the generosity and assistance of King parent Paul Michalski. Mr. Green, who was the top ranked running back in the USA while in high school, went on the play at Boston College where he was a two time MVP and all time top rusher. He was also named to the College All American Team as the top rated running back in all of college football.

Don’t Give Up, Get up

After Boston College, the Cleveland Browns drafted Mr. Green in the first round.

Ezra White '18 attended the presentation with his teammates. "I was really interested to hear Mr. Green's story. He provided valuable insight on the hard work that made him successful and the mentality that goes behind it. Lessons like Mr. Green's mean a lot because they show that anyone can be as successful as they want as long as they put in the work."

Ella Bruck '17 commented, "I enjoyed listening to the advice Mr. Green offered. Not only will I apply what he said on the field and with my team, but also in my daily life." As his bio reads, "Willie is a full time motivational speaker who travels worldwide. Having had a challenged childhood growing up, he reminds his audiences that in life it's not about how you start, but how you finish."

As his captive audience listened, Mr. Green also spoke about winners and losers, making the right choices, being kind and loving, and having a vision. He stressed that champions don’t give up, they get up.

Students also created the scenic environment by working with an artist in residence, Miranda Hynes, (alumna of King Middle School) to create full-sized body tracings that they decorated with words and symbols from their own lives and the lives of their characters. “It was a pleasure to work with students on such vital material, and to be their guide as they dramatized issues so close to their own lives” added Ms. Darnton.

Participating in the play was a new learning experience for Grade 7 student Nicole Roer, “This was different for me because I had to build a personality for every character I played as opposed to only focusing on one character. But, you always have to stay in it and build your character because, as the cast was told many times, that is the difference between an average play and a play where the audience will never believe that we’re only in Middle School.”

Director Amy Darnton selected these one-acts because she wanted contemporary material that would allow students to explore issues such as building relationships, finding personal identity, and stepping outside the group. “While they identified with the various situations, students were wary at first because they were used to a more traditional dramatic form with one set of characters and one plot. It was a challenge for them to play multiple characters, but as they got deeper into the rehearsal process, they began to see the threads that held the piece to-gether. Each student rose to the occasion and acted to the best of their ability, so that by the performance day they had created a cohesive piece of ‘living art’,” said Ms. Darnton.

MS Students rehearsed for weeks and their work paid off in early November when they presented "Changes: Middle School Life in Three Acts." The vignette play consisted of short scenes and monologues that explored the social, emotional, and physical ups and downs of life in middle school.

Mr. Silence thought the play went tremendously well and the feedback from parents, students and faculty that attended was very positive. “One thing I'm particularly proud of was the actors confidence in the material and their performances, especially considering that they were instrumental in the creation of the production from the very beginning.

We talked frequently about their sense of "ownership", and that was very apparent in the final product.” – Mr. Silence

Ciara O’Donnell ‘18 played the role of ‘Ciarlatina’ and encourages all students to participate in at least one show at King and possibly unlock a new passion. “The cast this year was comprised of the most talented, funny, and diverse people I know, and it was an absolutely incredible experience to work with them and watch the play come together. I saw notable improvements in my acting, as well as the ability to evaluate my skills and make them better. The advice I would give to aspiring actors: don't give up. Whether you get a role or you don't, you have to persist and stick with it. Because in the end, it's worth it.”

Rachel Kadlick ‘18, a veteran of King’s Performing Arts program, played the role of Beatrice Rasponi’. “When I told people that we had chosen Servant of Two Masters as our fall play, they were surprised and impressed that we were doing a play in the commedia dell'arte style. I felt nervous about of the audience would react, because King had never taken on a play like this before. Then I remembered what Mr. Silence said when he sat the cast down to talk about the play. He told us that the audience may not even laugh at all, but what matters is that we put everything we have into the play. Something that I have learned throughout my time in performing arts at King is that a your attitude really has an effect on the whole cast. It’s not all about what role you get, but what matters is that you stay positive and still participate and try your hardest, because hard work does not go unnoticed!”

In November, the Upper School presented "The Servant of Two Masters" by Carlos Goldoni as their fall production. The Commedia dell’arte (a form of theatre characterized by improvised characters and masks), which inspired Goldoni to write "The Servant of Two Masters" was a reaction to theater that was considered too static, stuffy and stoic for performers who wanted to improvise and make their audience laugh at the number of different ways they could fall down and hurt themselves. Director Mark Silence and the cast borrowed many of the elements of the traditional Italian Comedy to make their own contemporized version of Goldoni’s vision. US Faculty Mark Silence, Director and Set Designer, thought the play went tremendously well and the feedback from parents, students and Faculty that attended was very positive.

“It feels like it helped me figure out that, even though some of the situations might be bad in the play and you haven't experienced it yet, you're lucky to have a little preview on how to handle it, if needed.” – Grade 6 student Gouri Krishnan

Artist-in-Residence Program Arrives at King

STUDENTS STITCHED ON THE CANVASES WHILE CONTEMPLATING THE OPEN-ENDED

QUESTION PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST, “WHAT IS DARK ENERGY?”

The King School community welcomed an artist-in-residence, Laura Kaufman, in October for our exciting inaugural year of the Visiting Artists Program.

This program was conceived to provide the opportunity for students to engage in an immersive educational experience with a practicing contemporary artist, while discussing developments in contemporary art practices.

Ms. Kaufman, a Hudson Valley artist, inspired and educated King’s art students while creating a site-specific collaborative project with them. The final project was a (nearly) 15 foot-long frieze, which hangs in the Performing Arts Center lobby. The project involved stretched canvases, paint, embroidery floss, rhetoric, anagramming and redaction of the anagrammed words. Over the course of a week, students stitched on the canvases while contemplating the open-ended question presented by the artist, “What is Dark Energy?” King students from all divisions participated in this effort. Autumn Iafrate ’17 expressed the value of Ms. Kaufman’s residency, “It made me realize that it’s not impossible to turn my passion into a career. It was incredibly interesting to be able to talk with her and discuss our views on how important it is for there to be meaning behind what we create and how that in itself makes a piece.”

At the opening reception in the Performing Arts Center lobby, sponsored by the Parents Support the Arts Committee in late October, students crowded around the frieze to find the area on which they had worked. Ms. Kaufman

described her experience at King stating, “I am excited to have had this opportunity to connect with King students and teachers and to share my perspective. The community here is a curious one and

everyone dove into the dark energy embroidery project whole-heartedly. We had a fantastic whirlwind of a week, stitching away and chatting about my path as an artist.”

" ... WE HAD A FANTASTIC WHIRLWIND OF A WEEK,

STITCHING AWAY AND CHATTING ABOUT

MY PATH AS AN ARTIST.”

Lauren FredetteDirector of Development

Q&A

What are some of the highlights of your first few months at King? And obstacles?I have loved being a part of King School since the very first day I arrived. It is such a vibrant community of faculty, parents, students, and administrators. It is truly an honor for me to be focused on advancing King’s mission every day and I am passionate about it! One challenge is the number of people I want to meet. Development work is all about relationships, and there are so many wonderful people in the King community that I still need to get to know.

Where did you work before you came to King?After college, I started working in event planning, which led me to organizing large fundraising events for Special Olympics Massachusetts. I learned so much about philanthropy and what inspires people to give in my ten years there. I then accepted a position as Director of Advancement for a school in Peabody, Massachusetts and hired a school advancement consulting firm to help me transform the development program. We had such success together that when my husband needed to relocate to the NY area with IBM, they asked to join them as a consultant. For the last five years, I have worked one-on-one with schools across the country to help grow and improve their development programs. What was it about King that attracted your interest?For years, I’ve received daily emails about development-related opportunities across the country...it’s good for consulting leads! 99 out of 100 times I delete them without reading them. For some reason, I opened and read the one email that highlighted the Director of Development opportunity at King. It felt like a lightning bolt went through me, and I thought…”that’s MY job.” It was one of those great moments in life that I will never forget. It was just the right time and the right thing for me and my family, and I hope for King.

What does a typical day look like for you as Director of Development? There is no typical day in development work! Our role is to build a commitment to the mission of King, and to partner with all those who make a difference to today’s and tomorrow’s students. So, I balance being in constant conversations with donors, prospects and volunteers while also leading the team, and being an administrator on campus.

How does the Development office support our families? And our Alumni Community?

Giving to King, through gifts and volunteering of all kinds, is like throwing a pebble in a pond, causing a ripple effect. It touches lives that touch other lives. Every day, I see the exciting and lasting difference that so many people make here at King. When families, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends connect with us and give something of themselves, we are all part of a stronger mission that matters, and changes lives.

I would like to see alumni and parents of alumni continue to reconnect with the School and our students in meaningful ways. There is a lifelong connection that all members of the King community have with the School and with each other, and we want to make sure that they are aware of the ‘wow’ effect that they can have on our students, now and in the future.

What is your main goal for your first year at King?I want to strengthen and put in place programs that will support King School in growing, thriving, and realizing the exciting vision that Tom Main, the Board and the greater school communityhave for the future of our school. No big deal, right?! LOL.

In addition to your new role at King, you are also a new family. How have JC and Tess and your husband enjoyed their first year and how was the transition for your family?It has been a joyful experience for all four of us to meet the other students and parents and to be so graciously embraced by the community. JC and Tess absolutely love being students at King. When we learned that they had been accepted, my husband and I took them to a restaurant to tell them the good news. Every eye was on us because we were so enthusiastically celebrating, and we haven’t stopped! They’ve made good friends and had a lot of fun. Their academic program is rigorous, and I love to see them learning and being challenged so effectively by their teachers every day. Tell us one thing about yourself that someone might not know.I love perfume! One of my hobbies is studying fragrances and categorizing them by nose and note. I have lots of favorites but the classic Shalimar by Guerlain never fails!

Anything else you would like to add?Thank you to the many people who make my job so much fun. The generosity that I see every day to King’s mission in support of our students and faculty is truly heartfelt and inspiring. My door is always open if you’d ever like to stop by - I would love to get to know YOU!

Jonathan Coulombe Upper School Dean of Students

Q&A

What are some of the highlights of your first few months at King? And obstacles?Two main highlights come to mind for me. First, walking around preseason practices for fall sports and getting enthusiastic waves and smiles from students Maya Mandava, Cara Shattan, Lily Fox, and others. Their kindness helped me to feel welcomedbefore I was even known! Second, seeing my daughter, Phoebe, stand up with the rest of her PreKindergarten class in the openingall-school assembly was a moment that will remain with me.

Where did you work before coming to King?I was at Salisbury School, an all-boys boarding school in northwest CT. I served as grade level dean and then as Chair of the English Department while also coaching basketball and baseball.

What was it about King that attracted your interest?I loved the fact that King leads with its Virtues and cares about producing graduates who respect themselves, who care about others, and who develop the habits of mind that will lead to success regardless of their path in life.

What does a typical day look like for you as Dean of Students? Right now, about fifty percent of the day is scripted and fifty percent is reactive based on what might be happening on that particular day. I support US Faculty Becky Rabassa and Megan Yelton in the Leadership Seminar, I spend time checking in with individual students who may be struggling to achieve their academic or social goals, and I help monitor a study hall. At times, I may also confer with individual teachers about a particular class dynamic that may be failing to thrive.

Tell readers a bit about the leadership opportunities in the Upper School and what role you play in the Leadership Distinction and with Prefects:Students can engage in leadership in various ways in the Upper School. We have students who are elected members of the Student Council, who sit on the Peer Review Board, who become Prefects, and who take important roles in the various clubs we have at King. In my capacity as Dean of Students, I am helping to further define the role of Prefects as leaders of the School’s core virtues of Integrity, Kindness, Perseverance, and Respect. Their primary job is to help the community to embrace and embody these core Virtues in everything we do. I meet regularly with the Prefects to participate in a discussion about issues connected to the student culture and to help shape and direct any work that they are doing with their peers. We do as

much as we can to invite and involve their participation so that the student body feels ownership of the culture and of the School.

How do you see your position as an asset to students and why?I think a school environment like King’s can move very fast: students are striving to contribute to clubs and teams while excelling academically; Faculty are working to design lessons, grade assessments, and supply extra help all while supervisingadvisories and clubs. The nature of those priorities makes it challenging to think broadly about our systems, so I think my position can help to look horizontally across students’ experience at King to see how we might improve our commitment to our core Virtues and help students to be the best possible versions of themselves at this age.

Is there a single most important piece of advice for incoming high school freshman?Don’t let your particular focus consume you, which I frequently see in one of two ways: first, a student may identify most intensely as a social creature who will be proud and confident as long as his/her relationships are strong and vibrant; second, a student may identify most intensely as a scholar whose pride and confidence are based upon academic achievement in the form of numerical grades. The problem with the former is that so much of an early adolescent relationship can be tied up in banter and posturing for the purpose of establishing a superficial social hierarchy. The problem with the latter is that so much of true scholarship is built upon the type of failure that causes a student to reflect, adjust, and retry, often with more success. In both cases, students can make the mistake of privileging short-term validation over the type of growth-mindsetprocess that will truly sustain them in high school and beyond.

If you were a junior or senior in high school again, what would you do differently?I would be in a dramatic production. As much as I enjoyed being an athlete, I wish I had stretched myself by putting myself on display in what was to me a riskier setting. I think I was so concerned with my current identity bubble that I couldn’t imagine losing that, but I would have been a more mature, more substantive young adult had I put myself in front of an audience in high school.

Tell us one thing about yourself that someone might not know.My big pick-up strategy when I met my wife was asking her which health-care plan I should choose. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Lauren with her two children, Tess, Grade 6, and JC, Grade 8.

Working on several interwoven components, students have utilized King's campus and laboratories to explore oceanography, meteorology, geomorphology, navigation, wilderness medicine and skills, trip planning, and leadership. The academics have been integrated into experiential learning with relevant and concrete connections to the reality students face on the water and in the coastal environment. In addition to learning in the classroom, students will train in local waters at Stamford's Cove Beach and other areas that o�er advanced conditions and opportunities to practice planning and leadership.

Miles Johnson ‘17 signed up for the course with little knowledge of the subjects he would be studying, but a love of the ocean and the desire to learn new skills with a group of people who felt the same. “I’ve learned a lot, not only about oceanography and the other sciences behind the course, but also survival skills and what it means to lead and be a leader. I’ve pushed myself physically and mentally in this course. From learning di§cult and demanding techniques to studying the intricacies of currents and winds, this course never ceases to present challenges to our group. If all goes well and our group continues to work as hard as we have been, I feel Scotland will be a great time for all of us.”

Students will continue to hone their skills, knowledge, �tness, and experience so that they can identify and solve a variety of problems in a dynamic environment. During March spring break, the class and instructors will dedicate one week to Wilderness First Responder training and

certi�cation. For the �nal class project, the group will go on an kayak expedition in June to the Outer Hebrides o� the coast of western Scotland. If conditions permit, students will make the voyage to St. Kilda on a rigid in¦atable boat and will use that boat as a mothership. They will be shadowed by a support vehicle while they kayak along the coast of South Uist and circumnavigate the main island of Hirta.

Andrew Schoudel, US Science Faculty and Instructor of Expeditionary Studies, is con�dent that his class will be ready for the June 2017 expedition. "The Outer Hebrides of Scotland represents a blend of natural and human history and a wealth of opportunity for exploration. It is the home of ancient civilizations, Viking expeditions, and a rich mix of geologic, oceanographic, meteorological processes that are unique on Earth. The training and studies that began last June are focused on preparing our students to be safe and e�ective as they explore and learn about the relationships between them and the Earth, others, and themselves."

For Josephine Lewis ‘17, everything about the class screamed adventure, and she is always looking for a new adventure. “I didn't realize how intense it was actually going to be until I started the summer training: six weeks, �ve days a week, �ve hours a day. The class really pushed me to both my physical and mental limits. The students in the class are a medley of driven and focused individuals and it was exciting to develop new relationships. Expeditionary Studies has made me into a stronger individual and I can't thank Mr. Schoudel enough for it - he is an amazing and experienced mentor.”

Taking Science Out to Sea

By Samuel Raymond, Digital Communication Manager

In June 2016, eleven Upper School students embarked on a six-week training module to learn basic kayak strokes and maneuvers, self and assisted rescues, rolling, navigation, planning, leadership and problem solving in the marine environment. This trip was the �rst step in the yearlong Expeditionary Studies class, introduced for the �rst time in 2016.

Each day last summer began with a student-led weather and tide brief, followed by a warm-up activity to set the tone for the morning. The instructors constantly challenged the group to solve problems of increasing complexity and to take ownership of the learning process. As a team, they learned from constant, thoughtful re¦ection of what worked, what did not work, and what could be improved. A few days of wind blowing against current made for more advanced conditions, and set the scene for the group to practice open-water rescues and to appreciate the importance of mastery of skills and situational awareness. The summer training module ended with a video assessment and a group discussion of what we accomplished during the six-weeks together.

The course will continue through the 2016-2017 school year.

“I didn't realize how intense it was actually going to be until I started the summer training: six weeks, f ive days a week, f ive hours a day. The class really pushed me to both my physical and mental limits."– Josephine Lewis ‘17

The Hour of CodeINSPIRING STUDENTS

It didn’t take long for Kindergarten students to master the programming of their robot, ‘Coji,’ and send it across the table with circular motion and emojis ... and lots of laughs. The students were participating in the school-wide Hour of Code, on December 8, during Sue Laramie’s robotics class. Young students were learning how to manipulate symbolic lines of code and write their own code for the Ozobots and Dash & Dot robots

while older students across campus were programming in Python and JavaScript. “The robots empower and lay the foundation for more complex programming languages,” said Ally Noel, MS Computer Science Faculty.

The Hour of Code began four years ago in an effort to bring computer science programs into K-12 education. It began as a national effort and has now expanded world wide – even President Obama wrote his first line

of code in 2014 during this event. Computer Science Education Week was selected to take place this particular week to honor Admiral Grace Hopper, the first woman programmer who developed the Cobol Programming Language.

Advanced programming students in the Upper School were ambassadors during the event this year. Through-out the first few months of the school year, they programmed in Java and

covered the more complex issues including loops, if/else statements and boolean logic. “This knowledge and skill allowed them the opportunity to teach and assist their peers during the Hour of Code. It is important that King be a part of this opportunity to learn how to create technology. The Hour of Code lesson plans and activities can be used to inspire students in many different areas, such as science, math, physics, history

and more,” said Sue Heintz, Chair of Computer Science and Digital Applications.

“We hope that students gain an understanding that even Mark Zuckerberg had to start at the beginning. A solid understanding of computer programming and coding will empower students to think creatively and utilize these skills across all disciplines,” said Ms. Noel.

Shevon Morris, LS Science Faculty — McDermott Award RecipientLast summer, as a recipient of the McDermott Award, I traveled to Venice, Italy to participate in the MOSE (Experimental Electromechanical Module) Project. This project focuses on ¦ood prevention as well as planning, design, and evaluation.

The success of the MOSE project in Venice, Italy is an exciting example of how engineers have used the engineering design process and teamwork to �nd potential solutions to the very real problem of the ¦ooding and sinking of Venice. On my trip, I was able to see evidence of past ¦ooding and new construction throughout the local islands. Throughout my studies, I have had the opportunity to speak with experts in the �elds of civil engineering and geotechnical engineering to �nd out what considerations were taken in the planning and development of the modular gates that automatically raise with unusually high tides to protect the Venetian Lagoon. Through talking with local Venetians, I was able to gain perspective on how the ¦ooding, and more recently, this project have a�ected their lives.

This experience will further inform my PreK-5 science units with additional insight into meaningful engineering practices as well as problem-solving activities with regard to our region’s own challenges with ¦ooding concerns. On returning to King, I utilized this insight to work on projects with my classes and the Engineering Club. In the Club, students were tasked with �nding a solution to a problem posed to them: a Nepalese village needs to build a Tarpul - a structure to get you over ¦ooding rivers - to cross a river and reach the local medical clinic.

Susannah Branch, US World Languages FacultyWith the help of the Summer Sabbatical Grant, I traveled to Spain in June 2016 to reconnect with the self I left behind when I moved back to the United States in 2012. My goal for this journey was to have authentic linguistic and cultural encounters, both by maintaining existing relationships with people and places, and by seeking out new experiences and challenges. My trip began by leading the King Global Education trip and helped start me o� on this literal and �gurative journey; it is fascinating to lead adolescents in what is often their �rst immersive linguistic and cultural experience. Once the students were in their home stays in Alicante, I was able to observe, guide, and support them as they navigated this new experience. It set the tone for my own time in Spain in a really lovely way.

I stayed in Spain, once the King students departed, and my �rst stop was Santander, a northern coastal city in the province of Cantabria. I was fortunate enough to rent the very apartment where I used to live. While in Santander, I spent time with old friends from all over Spain. Many are from Cantabria, and it felt so right to hear and speak in the musical northern-Spanish tones and intonation. I was also able to speak with locals who have long lived in Ortiguera, a tiny village almost on the border of Galicia, the population of which is aging and dwindling year by year. Later I traveled to the Canary Islands, a part of Spain that was unfamiliar to me until this trip. I made my way back to the United States feeling that I’d both rea§rmed and strengthened old connections and relationships and formed new ones. I kept a journal of memories and new vocabulary while I was in Spain, and with its help, I am already incorporating into my classes stories and language from my experiences abroad. I look forward to continuing to blend real-life experiences with my teaching, and I aim successfully to inspire students to have a similar experiences when they travel to Spain.

At King, we strongly believe that a top quality Professional Growth and Development (PG&D) program is the cornerstone of our success. Faculty members at King are talented, committed, knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about their work. The PG&D program enables Faculty to stay up to date on new research, attend top conferences and workshops, and grow as teachers.

The Faculty Summer Sabbatical grants provide funding to support teachers who wish to explore subjects and ideas and develop their knowledge and expertise in a manner that will positively impact the work that they do with students.

In early December, a group of faculty from all three divisions gathered in the MS Commons for the first ‘Food for Thought’ event this year. This particular gathering was inspired by a recent Learning and the Brain Conference in Boston centered around “Educating Ethical 21st Century Citizens.”

Clara Brodie, MS English Faculty, shared about "design journals," which encourage metacognition and taking academic and creative risks. This approach helps students and Faculty externalize and then organize the different aspects of their lives

Julia Finkelstein, US English Faculty, presented on civic learning, exploring the topic of citizenship and how we can develop this skill in the classroom. Ms. Finkelstein opened her presentation by posing the question to Faculty: "What role, if any, did the 2016 election play in your experience as an educator this past fall?"

Patrick O’Neill, US History Faculty, presented about his interdisciplinary approach of using Theater Arts and English to teach about a particular period in European history through Shakespeare’s Othello. In doing this, Mr. O’Neill hopes Faculty will strive to further explore similarities between their disciplines and find opportunities to foster deeper learning through collaboration.

King is committed to Professional Growth and Development and makes one of the highest investments in this area among our peer schools. All Faculty participate in at least two PG&D training sessions each year and will have a chance to attend the next ‘Food for Thought’ on March 9.

The PG&D committee at King is charged with organizing in-house professional growth and development including inviting speak-ers to campus, coordinating summer reading, and planning other events throughout the school year. The 'Food for Thought’ series, which takes place 2-3 times annually, was created as a way to have Faculty and staff from all three divisions come together and discuss various topics relevant to teaching and learning at King. Recently, these events have served as a venue to showcase and share information that Faculty across the divisions have gathered and learned at conferences and workshops. Teachers share how the information is being applied in the different divisions and report that they learn a lot from each other and take away inspiration for their own classrooms, no matter the age of the students with whom they work.

The #GiveKingTuesday initiative was an incredible testament to the philanthropic strength in our community. In a 24-hour period on November 29, 2016, King received over $666,000 in gifts and pledges from 416 di�erent households, making a total of 482 gifts. King set local records for #GivingTuesday generosity as an independent day school. #GiveKingTuesday also had a signi�cant impact on our 2016-17 Annual Fund goal of $2.4 million. On this day, Annual Fund donations were 30% ahead of Giving Tuesday last year and the number of donors increased by 92%. As a result of these contributions, we have now received over $1.5 million in Annual Fund gifts/pledges towards our goal of $2.4 million!

#GivingTuesday is a national movement, harnessing the power of social media to support philanthropic causes around the world. Here at King, the momentum started at midnight, when Head of School Tom Main kicked o� the giving with the �rst online gift. Throughout the rest of the day, King’s social media channels buzzed with exciting updates about King's rapid progress. #GiveKingTuesday Champions, Helen Santoro, LS Faculty , Micaela Malin P’27, ‘21, Fiona Fine ‘90, P’23, ‘21, Christos Galanopoulos, US Faculty, Lori Auletta, LS Faculty, Rob Waller, MS Faculty, and Cathy Mishkin, US Faculty, helped spread the word with videos and personal thank you calls throughout the day. Gifts and pledges continued to ¦ood in as late as 11:50 p.m.

Three generous challenge grants galvanized the King community to participate in record numbers. Debbie Dietz ‘90, P’27, ‘24 and her husband Bryan wanted to make their challenge primarily to demonstrate how important alumni are to the school and its future. “The more alumni that are present and engaged with King School, the stronger we all are as a community and an institution. I hope my gift will inspire other alumni to reconnect.”

Alex Soros ‘04 decided to make his challenge gift in honor of Mr. Galanopoulos. Mr. G had an impact on Alex’s life that has been extremely meaningful and is partly responsible for his lifelong interest in history and philosophy, which Alex is following as he pursues a PhD in intellectual history at UC-Berkeley.

John and Liz Stanise P’25, ‘20, new to the King Community this year, had a blast watching the number of gifts increase throughout the day, and decided on the spot to issue the third challenge. “It was exciting, and we wanted to show our gratitude for our children’s wonderful experience at King and how welcoming the King community has been.”

The King community cast a strong vote of con�dence in the Mission of our School by rallying around #GiveKingTuesday. Alumni, parents of alumni, parents, students, faculty, sta� and friends from all over the country participated with an outpouring of generosity, creativity, and caring. King School is tremendously grateful for the partnership of so many loyal donors on this day, and every day!

We came together to make history!

One of the primary goals of an historical archive is to trace institutional history so that in many ways the past will inform the present and quite possibly inspire the future. With the history of King, Low Heywood, and Thomas in its many configurations over the years I was struck by the ever-present thread of Drama and the Performing Arts as proof of this. From the earliest photographs of productions that exist from the early 1900’s at the King School, to the ambitious outdoor costume pageants that were a regular centerpiece of the Thomas School,

The Theater TraditionBy Rick Starr,

King School Archivist

you cannot miss the excitement, dedication and commitment of both the students and faculty. One has only to view photographs of the ambitious Low Heywood productions of the 50’s and 60’s complete with full set, costumes and makeup to see a growing tradition in dramatic excellence. Particularly impressive was the strong collaboration between King and Low Heywood-Thomas in the years leading up to the merger in 1988. As the schools merged and the productions became more elaborate and inclusive, musical theater took its logical place and both classic and contemporary shows were presented with equal excitement and dedication. With the addition of the Performing Arts Center, the drama program continues this tradition of excellence and only reassures us that the show will indeed go on for many years to come.

Thomas, The Argosy, 1938

Thomas had boys in attendance in the lower grades in the early days. An example of the extent Thomas would go to in the dramatics program

The food trucks o�ered a wide selection of choices as Redi Rooster, Taco Loco, New Haven Pizza Truck, Snappy Dawgs, and an ice cream truck ascended on campus. The School Store tent was packed all day with lots of King gear on sale and a new addition this year was the PA plant sale, which o�ered beautiful mums for fall decor. The Jazz Orchestra and Jazz Combo, comprised of Middle and Upper School students, �lled the air with their amazing sound and tremendous talent.

Homecoming 2016 was a picture-perfect day. The King Community came together under blue skies for a day of family fun and Vikings spirit. The LS bake sale did not disappoint with a variety of sweets and co�ee for all to enjoy and the MS 'Smash, Bash, and Dash' corner was a big draw for students. The LS Kids Corner is always a favorite and our youngest fans enjoyed in¦atable bounce houses and human hamster balls.

The Alumni tent welcomed families and friends from every decade. Lauren Fredette, Director of Development, attended all events that weekend and commented "It was great to see so many people who bleed blue and gold on campus! The weekend was fun for everyone – from our lower school students to our alum from the Class of 1947! Many of the people who had not been on campus for a while remarked on how much King has grown and changed. We can be proud of our beautiful facilities!"

The PA Homecoming Committee did a great job in planning and organizing the weekend, and their hard work made Homecoming a great success, once again!

BLAKE HUGHES writes “Greetings from beautiful Newburyport, Massachusetts where we have lived for 56 years. I am probably one of the last members of the class of 42 where I �nished at the bottom of my class. My wife, (Ruth Brown) from Glenbrook and I have been married for 70 years. We have 3 sons, 6 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.”

“My memories of King are fond ones but I also remember our English master, Mr. Sawyer, throwing erasers or chalk at any boy who acted up in class! Mr. Olson loved math so much he would stay up half the night working algebra equations and expected us to love math just as much!”

“Until retirement, I was a merchant and an artist here in Newburyport. Recently I was made Knight of the Legion of Honor by the government of France for my wartime services, which was very gratifying. Of my old class, Ned Dwelle and Bill Spicer were pilots in World War II and Jim Healey was an Army Ranger.”

“One of my friends here in Newburyport was Arthur Harper (now deceased) who was Headmaster of the Thomas School long ago.”

“The growth of the school is amazing to me having graduated from the old building on Colonial Road, and I am delighted to see you prospering.”

The work is challenging and very rewarding. I'm very happy to report that I have recently re-married the Perfect Man, October 8th, St. Helena, California! We are blending our two families (my four children + one daughter-in-law, and his two daughters and granddaughter...not so easy, as I'm sure some of you have discovered!) All that said, life is grand! I was thrilled and honored that my dear classmate from Thomas, Bug Reismeyer Sutton, came all the way from New York, by way of Italy, to help us celebrate our wedding day."

GARRY BRIGGS, CMO of Facebook, just recently made Business Insider’s top 50 CMOs list, coming in at #28. Gary became Facebook’s �rst Chief Marketing O§cer in 2013 after jumping ship from Google.

1986

CRAIG MALKIN, PHD reports "After building a wonderful life with a loving family –beautiful wife and twin girls, now 12– and a thriving private practice as a clinical psychologist, I decided to add a second career just to keep things interest-ing (read: hectic) by becoming an author. Writing a book had been my life long dream, so when my wife beamed at me one day, in the midst of my panic, and reminded me that I was “livin’ the dream,” I knew she was simply being a supportive partner and in no way sarcastic.

That dream is now a reality, in the form of my recently released book Rethinking Narcissism (AKA The Narcissist Test), which has been translated into 9 languagesand, happily, seems to have been well received by readers and experts, alike. It was a tremendous sacri�ce on my whole family’s part to help me clear space to write each week, and in the end, it’s only deepened my gratitude that they’ve put up with me for as long as they have (my wife and I met in 1994!).

While authoring a book, I learned some invaluable lessons along the way: always smile at the camera, but don’t grin; never ask, ‘what the hell does that mean?’ when you’re live;” and, most importantly, I’m truly lucky to have such caring friends and family. I guess I really am “livin’ the dream.”

Since I only have a maximum of two classes a day, it seems like a breeze to get all of my work done on time. I give all the credit to the faculty and administration who put in extra time to develop that time management skill within each student. It is great to have an e§cient and organized homework system, especially with basketball season starting up this Sunday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate every single faculty member and advisor at King for all of their hard work in that area."

GRANT TINKER – King School Class of '43, passed away on November 28, 2016. He was 91. The former CEO and Chairman of NBC, he was also the co-founder of the television production company MTM Enterprises with his wife at the time, actress Mary Tyler Moore. Before he became a national TV legend producing classics such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” and “Hill Street Blues,” Grant Tinker was a King School sports legend and had been at King for 10 years of his life.

The Tinker Family goes way back in the history of King School. Grant’s two sisters graduated from Low-Heywood, Joan Tinker Swift in 1945 and Phyllis Tinker

Campbell in 1942. Their parents were also alums. Arthur Tinker was King Class of 1913 and their mother, Margaret Hessin Tinker, graduated from Low-Heywood in 1920. Their cousin, Marian Morse graduated from Low-Heywood in 1937.

“The most important years of Grant’s life were spent at King School. He often said that the foundation of his life came from his experience at King.” Tinker’s sister Joan Swift said. He was a lifelong supporter of King School.

ALEX BRITTON ’14 developed his �rst app at the age of 12 and is the Founder of Britton Enterprises, a mobile application development company. He has designed and developed over 15 applications and apps featured on the iTunes homepage and top charts. Alex is now a student at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU. The King Alumni o§ce checked in with Alex last fall:

As a student at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, I have the privilege of crafting my own major/ concentration. My concentration is in Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Real Estate. A program such as Gallatin gives me great ¦exibility in my educational pursuits – which is perfect for my personality and learning style.

In addition to coursework, I actively participate in the entrepreneurial scene on campus. NYU is home to an “Entrepreneurs Lab,” which provides

students with a space to work on start-ups, business advice, and sometimes funding. Furthermore, I am a member of the Entrepreneurial Exchange Group, a club that fosters entrepreneurial thought and helps with networking throughout the New York City tech environment. Through this organization I have been able to go to several di�erent o§ces and make connections with professionals at companies such as, Spotify, Tumblr, and Google.

King prepared me by instilling the value of time management and organizational skills. These teachings have certainly helped me throughout my time at NYU, with my internships and my own business endeavors.

There were many teachers at King that I appreciated; however, I would have to say that Mr. Pusack was most impactful. Math is not my strong suit. With that said, he pushed me to learn the material. We also got along well on a personal level. He took an interest in my personal projects and acted as a supporter. Furthermore, we bonded over hitting golf balls at Sterling Farms while I was on the golf team. He really understood how to reach my “high school brain” then — as such, I was able to walk away with great math knowledge and fond memories.

What are they up to now? The King Alumni office checks in with two young alumni

King prepared me by instilling the value of time management and organizational skills.

KATHARINA FOCKE ‘15 is currently a sophomore in the Dual BA Program between Columbia University and Sciences Po in Reims, France, situated 40 minutes outside of Paris, where she is studying the relations between North America and Europe. Katharina will return to Columbia University junior year, majoring in Political Science and Economics. Upon graduation in 2019, she will receive bachelor’s degrees from both universities.

The regional campuses of Sciences Po include 1/3 of students from France, 1/3 of students from the area of study, in this case North America, and 1/3 from the rest of the world, most notably Europe. This allows for a very international group of students in Reims with many diverse backgrounds. The opportunities that I was given at King truly shaped me and allowed me to develop inside and outside of the classroom. It was through the Model

United Nations Team and the guidance of Mr. Galanopoulos that I found what I am passionate about: International Relations. The conferences that I attended through MUN helped develop my public speaking skills, something that I have been able to put to great use with the many oral presentations required at Sciences Po. Through organizing our MUN Conference at King, I gained the experience necessary to be involved in organizing our Model UN conference in Reims for several hundred students.

King prepared me not just for university but also for my experiences abroad. King’s support allowed me to gain the con�dence to move to France for two years, a country whose language I did not speak. King gave me the guidance and support I needed to become the person who I wanted to be, and to make the decisions that I needed to make, from course selections to ultimately my college choice.

It was through the Model United Nations Team and the guidance of Mr. Galanopoulos that I found what I am passionate about …

2015-2016 Annual Report 59

A Letter from the Board of Trustees President, Tom Conheeney

Dear Friends of King School:

Our sesquicentennial year was a celebration of King’s strengths, virtues,

and legacy. There is much of which to be proud. As we reflect on our history,

it is equally exciting to look toward our future for the students of today and

tomorrow. The primary way that we all can support the school in continually

“raising the bar” is through giving — of time, energy, and financial contributions.

And because of your exceptional generosity, gifts to the 2015-16 Annual Fund

exceeded $2,360,000 - a new record!

I’d like to share some other important facts :

• 97% of Parents and 100% of New Parents gave to the Annual Fund

• More Alumni and Parents of Alumni made a gift than in any previous year

• The Legacy Ball broke records with 463 people in attendance and $627,000 in gross proceeds

• The Class of 2016 launched the endowed Legacy Fund with $163,000 in gifts

• Over $3,000,000 was generously contributed and committed for general

and restricted endowment

I, along with the entire Board of Trustees, am honored to thank you for your

partnership in advancing King’s mission. Building on a tradition of excellence,

we look forward to a bright future ahead for our beloved school, and appreciate

each and every one of you for your investments in King. It is with your continued

support that we have made King’s growth possible.

Sincerely,

Tom Conheeney

President, Board of Trustees

Grandparents play a special role in the development of our students, and we are grateful for their generous support. Their Annual Fund gifts totaled $59,825 in 2015-2016.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATIONA Letter from 2015-2016 Parents’ Association President, Carmen Failla

Parents’ Association 2015-2016: Legacy. Strength. Pride.

The Parents’ Association’s events during King’s sesquicentennial year were

certainly fitting of a celebratory year! Last year’s great success was only made

possible due to the tireless efforts of our parent community. We kicked off the

2015-2016 academic year with an unbelievable homecoming and our 150th

year culminated with the elegant and hugely successful Legacy Ball. The

Legacy Ball’s Chairs, army of volunteers, auction item donors, event sponsors,

and guests all stepped up, showed up and made a difference.

And, let’s not forget the organization and coordination of everything in

between! Every committee meeting and event sponsored by the PA depends

upon the willingness of parents to contribute in some significant way -

volunteering for blocks of time, sending group e-mails, providing food and

supplies. These contributions all add up to a tremendous amount of pride that

our parents have in our school, our children and our community. Our parent

community is the strength on which the PA stands. It was simultaneously

impressive and humbling to see how quickly and selflessly parents gave to

the King Parents’ Association. Our successful year contributed $190,000 to

the legacy of the PA Endowment Fund for Scholarship and $225,000 for

immediate scholarship use.

I feel very privileged and grateful to have worked with many of you last year!

Thank you to the many parents who gave so kindly of their time, talents

and energy.

With appreciation,

Carmen Failla

The success of the Parents’ Association - the events and parent programming it sponsors, and the fundraising initiatives it leads - would not be possible without the tireless effort and dedication of so many individuals. We would like to recognize those parents who assumed leadership positions within the PA organization during the 2015-2016 school year, and thank them for the difference they have made at King.
