Head of School, Dr. Mary Halpin Carter.

ear Friends,

In the main office, I overheard Jenny Boesch, our stellar Director of Academic Support, speaking with a mom and dad about Becca Karp who will be working with their 7 th grade son this year. “I know she’ll work her magic with him,” Jenny said, before going on to explain how this teacher would help their son grow and continue to strengthen learning skills that he and Jenny have been working on. I know Becca, and Jenny was absolutely correct in her assessment. How extraordinary it is for Derryfield to have such remarkable faculty that we regularly use words like “magical” to describe their teaching skills and ability to transform the lives of young people.

As the new school year begins, the campus is infused with a current of energy and excitement. Adults feel the joy of learning, too.

It draws teachers back after they retire; Candy Chaplin and Paul and Karen Whitmore are among the emeritus faculty who will be back on campus this fall. If visitors from another galaxy studied Derryfield, they would conclude it is the intelligent, curious, humorous, and caring life force that draws us all back every autumn. Who is to credit for it? Certainly, the exceptional people—the faculty, staff, trustees, students, and families. But it is also the work they do to push Derryfield forward that helps produce the energetic buzz, their determined, systematic commitment to being always

better as an educational community. We have, together, been implementing a strategic plan of communal design since 2013. The result has been significant strides forward in academics, innovation and entrepreneurship education, leadership, facilities, student life, alumni connection, global studies, service, diversity, and environmental sustainability.

You have a right to be proud of your school.

Our forward momentum assures that this year, too, will be one marked by accomplishment.

The faculty and staff have embarked on a year of inquiry into 21st century skills and teaching techniques. We read the book Twenty-first Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times by Bernie Trilling and Charles Fadel to provide a shared vocabulary and understanding of what every student needs to be able to do and the teaching methods that develop those skills. Next year, we will study program and the schedule designs needed to support 21st century skills. So much fascinating, vital research and work lies ahead.

Thank you for your loyalty and support for our extraordinary school. We hope to see you at a Derryfield event soon!

Best,

Mary Halpin Carter, Ph.D. Head of School

Perhaps Amy’s most special power was her ability to communicate clearly with me even though she was non-verbal.

From my earliest moments I had the ability to understand her, and she taught me many valuable lessons without ever speaking a single word. She taught me to live for each day, to enjoy the time we have with each other, because tomorrow is promised to no one. I learned that even those without a voice have something to say.

Everyone has a story, and it is important to listen carefully to the messages people express. scan for video

Joe Costa ’16 | Senior Moment

It’s ironic, in this day of endless connection, how truly disconnected we really are. We lose—in our rush to connect online and to please by being someone we are not—one important connection, and that is the connection to ourselves.

campus notes MATH TEAM WINS STATE NH-SMASH COMPETITION squarely in the middle of the pack, but an absolutely amazing essay round put us back on the map.” Ultimately, Derryfield ended the competition ahead of the rest, with 212 points to second place’s 175 and third place’s 155. Mr. Chang adds “Amery Jiang scored 32 points on her own (perfect score is 36) and tied with four others across the divisions for a first place individual award. Zach Levell, Shuting Zhang, and Kate Jiang were part of a large group of 26 students who received second place awards.”

T

he Derryfield School Math Team emerged victorious at the State NH-SMASH (New Hampshire Southern Mathematics Association of Senior Highs) competition on March 15 at Plymouth State University. Coach Harley Chang proudly shared, “It was a glorious day for the Derryfield Math Team as we edged out nine other schools to become the Small Division (Division IV) State Champions!"

Having placed second at the regional NH-SMASH competition on March 2, the team went into competition with high energy and confidence. The NH-SMASH league consists of five meets. The Derryfield math team consistently performed well at these competitions of thinking and computing math aficionados. The contest is attended by 21 schools split into three divisions of seven schools each.

He continued, "It seemed unlikely after the team round, which came first and put us

Each competitor chooses three of five topics and high total points win, so having a full

team is to one's advantage. Led by captains and seniors Amery Jiang, Margaret and Zach Levell, and Shuting Zhang, other members of the team that competed for the second place NH-SMASH win included: Angela Xu, Crystal Xie, Kate Jiang, Selina Zhu, and Colin Lawless. Those competing in the State meet were: Amery Jiang, Margaret and Zach Levell, Angela Xu, Shuting Zhang, Jack Miron, Kate Jiang, Selina Zhu, and Colin Lawless.

More great news! Five of the Derryfield team members received a perfect score on a single subject—more than any other school in the division­: Zhiqiao Jiang, Wanchen Jiang, Zachary Levell, and Peiluo Xu in Algebra 2; and Shuting Zhang in Geometry.

The team looks forward to building on their successes under the direction of Coach Chris Induni. Juniors Kate Jiang and Selina Zhu will serve as captains for the 2016-2017 academic year.

THE LASTING IMPACT OF TRAVEL

M

any Derryfield alumni recall participating in an international trip during their time here, but Derryfield’s formal global program is only seven years old. The program was created with the following objectives: increase global learning through the curriculum; enhance student diversity through enrolling a small group of international students; provide opportunities to learn about the world; increase world language proficiency; and provide volunteer opportunities through trips and exchanges.

Currently, 30% of the student population participates in a global program each year, with half of last year’s graduating class having experienced one or more trips. The 2015-2016 trips included: Washington, D.C. Politics & Culture (middle school), Habitat for Humanity, North Carolina (upper school),

D E R RY F I E L D T O DAY 2 0 16

Spain Language Immersion & Culture (upper school), Island School Research & Sustainability (upper school), and South Africa Cape Town & Durban Exchange (upper school).

Of course we want students to have fun while participating in these programs. We also want them to have experiences that deepen their understanding of the people, culture, and language, and/or make a contribution through service work. In a small city in Romania, our students had an unplanned meeting with a Holocaust survivor, who shared her story of surviving two concentration camps, losing friends and family, and life in Romania after World War II. These and other encounters give our student travelers a perspective they would never have as a regular tourist.

Sometimes the experiences our students have while traveling are a planned part of

the itinerary, and sometimes they are the result of taking advantage of a moment or an opportunity. For example, our Nepal trekking and service trip always includes physicians who set up clinics in two remote villages. On one Nepal trip, a student assisted with a procedure to clean and suture a deep cut on a toddler.

The physician had the supplies to perform the procedure, but no anesthetic was available.

This (and other experiences on the trip) led the student toward an international career path, and a lasting connection with the country.

Another student’s experience assisting with amphibian research in the Amazon led her to study zoology in college; and another student's Semester at Sea adventure inspired her to pursue the Peace Corps.

STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THE "REAL" COST OF FOOD

W

hen students in Brent Powell’s class on the American Food System talk about the real cost of food, they’re not debating how much Burger King charges for a Whopper. They have learned that there is so much more to the equation: a thoughtful discussion of any topic on the food system takes into balance factors such as nutrition, government policy, marketing, and environmental costs.

The class was presented with an opportunity to see ideas at work when Food Tank, a nonprofit organization committed to building a global community for safe, healthy, nourished eaters, hosted a live-stream panel discussion on True Cost Accounting in the Food System.

This topic perfectly blends the ideas they cover in class. The panel discussion was co-hosted by the Union for Concerned Scientists and held at American University with international experts representing the scientific, business, and government perspectives, including the author of one of the papers they had read earlier in the term. It was, indeed, a global event; 2,000 people viewed the live stream from 90 different countries.

This is where it gets tricky, because this class is an offering of the Malone Schools Online Network. The students in Mr. Powell’s class attend six different independent schools across the country, including Derryfield. Facilitating bi-weekly class discussions for the class involves the use of both hardware and software (Bluejeans) purchased, installed, and supported

by Derryfield and other participating schools.

This technology allows students to participate in the lively class discussions that are central to an independent school experience.

Students watched livestream of the Food Tank Panel while using the classroom chat feature of their learning management system to make connections and share feedback with each other, but the really amazing part of the experience came through social media. Students started tweeting into the conference discussion using the hashtag #foodtank, and even had a question discussed by the panel. The successful convergence of multiple technologies enabled an amazing classroom experience in which high school students were able to join a discussion with national experts in their field.

Mr. Powell’s students saw the same nuanced connections they had studied in class reflected in the topics discussed by the panel, reiterating for them the challenge of finding easy solutions when several interconnected factors need to be taken into consideration. In fact, one student noticed that a panelist had oversimplified a point during the discussion. Students came away from the class with a sense of excitement to be included in the national conversation with experienced scholars.

TO OUR ALUMS: what are your lasting memories from a Derryfield domestic or international trip?

How have those experiences influenced your career, interests, or view of the world? Send an email to Susan Grodman, at sgrodman@derryfield. org. We will compile your feedback and share the results with you. Meanwhile, keep exploring!

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE: A PORTRAIT OF LEARNING

W

hen she visited Derryfield in 2011, Jo Ann Deak, a psychologist and educator and author of Your Fantastic Elastic Brain, once described the human brain as a ball of multi-colored rubber bands. When we are born, some of the bands are naturally thick and strong; some are thin and underdeveloped. Some of the bands are right on the surface and interact all day; some are buried and must be mined to be used and strengthened.

As Deak writes, "Every interaction a child has, during the course of a day, influences the adult that child will become.”

The Derryfield Middle School Learner’s Portrait invites a child to strengthen all of the bands— to explore and to develop a diverse range of skills, the “traits.” As a child engages in the day to day curriculum and community, every trait can be explored and strengthened. Serving meals at New Horizons with the seventh grade advisory, and planning a social event

with Leadership Council all develop skills in community building and belonging. Creating a graph to represent data, explaining your thinking in a math journal, and writing the code to make your robot place a block in a basket all strengthen problem solving. Taking on the role of a character for the sixth grade play, learning the trumpet for band, and presenting your justice project all develop your confidence and skills in speaking and performing.

This fall, Derryfield Middle Schoolers will begin to create their “mosaics,” a digital presentation of their dynamic Learner’s Portraits. When they emerge as eighth graders, their Mosaic will represent each aspect of their portrait as it has evolved—those experiences they consider to be most important among all that they have learned and experienced as learners and community members.

At Derryfield we strive to educate the

The Learner's Portrait At Derryfield we strive to educate the whole child. We understand the critical role we play in the development of lifelong learning skills and habits. We are equally committed to the teaching of these skills to the discipline-specific content.

Grounded in current brain-based research and best practices, our program is designed to help each student develop the eight facets of their unique “Learner’s Portrait.”

AS A DERRYFIELD STUDENT, I AM...

• an engaged community member • an active, healthy person • an organized, self-directed learner • a curious, critical reader and researcher • an inventive, informative writer • a creative composer and designer • an inquisitive investigator and determined problem solver • a dynamic and effective performer/presenter

FORMER NBA PLAYER, CHRIS HERREN, TALKS HONESTLY WITH STUDENTS ABOUT ADDICTION

A

s part of a comprehensive health and wellness program, The Derryfield School is committed to educating students on positive decision making, as well as understanding the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

To this end, a proactive approach was taken when former NBA basketball player Chris Herren was invited to speak with the eighth through twelfth graders during the winter trimester.

Chris, originally from Fall River, MA, seemed to have the world at his feet. He was a high school basketball star, college basketball standout, and NBA player for the Denver Nuggets and his home team, the Boston Celtics. Unfortunately, his addiction to a myriad of drugs, including heroin, caused him to forfeit all he had worked to achieve.

D E R RY F I E L D T O DAY 2 0 16

After many attempts at rehab Chris found success once again—he has been sober for seven-and-a-half years. As a result, he has made it his personal mission to share his journey with others and speak candidly about how his poor choices affected his life and that of his family.

Chris’s talk was both overwhelming and insightful, and the feedback from students was resoundingly positive. Many shared, “I felt as though he were talking right to me.”

When teenagers engage in meaningful/honest conversations about drugs and alcohol they are 42% less likely to try or abuse drugs and alcohol, a goal we hope to attain. M.S. Physical Education teacher Jeff Hastings concluded, "I’m most excited about the fact that our students are engaging in conversations with teachers not only about the impact his speech had on them but ​​with questions about drugs and

alcohol. That sort of impact is going to have long lasting effects on our community and that was exactly what I hoped to achieve— for us to talk openly about a difficult topic."

GLOBALLY-MINDED STUDENTS EXPERIENCE OTHERS' PERSPECTIVES

M

odel UN has historically been a popular club in the Upper School at Derryfield, giving globally-minded students the opportunity to experience how policy is formulated in today's world.

Students “step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's agenda.”

The culminating experience involves participating in a Model UN Conference where student delegates from schools across the country “make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the Model UN conference rules of procedure.”

Tyler Crews ’17 shared, “I became involved with Model UN my freshman year. At that point, I had signed up for seven clubs. Surprisingly, Model UN ended up becoming my 'thing.' My true passion for international politics emerged during my sophomore year conference, when I was placed on the Council for Women Empowerment. I had an awareness of the status

of Women Empowerment in the US, but I had never sought to educate myself on the global condition of women. What I learned horrified me, yet inspired me to help catalyze change. I realized that Model UN is not just about winning awards, or passing a position paper. Model UN is about recognizing what is happening beyond our small circles, and learning what you can do to support the international community.”

While Derryfield upper school students attended the conference at Harvard University, eighth graders had the opportunity to experience this process as well when, as part of their Justice class, they held a Model UN assembly on campus this fall.

According to Justice teacher Laura Russell, this practice has several objectives: to teach the students parliamentary procedure, to expose them to the art of negotiation, and to give them practice in researching a country and its position on a topic.

Each student represented one of 25 countries —from the United States and Saudi Arabia to France and Peru. Students were given the topic of food insecurity to research and prepare to debate in a general assembly. Delegates had four weeks of class time to conduct research and formulate their responses to the issue from the perspective of their country. With their knowledge in hand, the students had to draft and pass resolutions and try to convince other countries to support their stance.

STUDENTS EXPLORE THE UNIQUE ROLE NEW HAMPSHIRE PLAYS IN THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

T

he Derryfield School took New Hampshire’s “First in the Nation” status to a whole new level. Students had the unique opportunity to participate in a one of a kind learning experience with “The New Hampshire Primary,” an “innovative blended learning class taught jointly at Derryfield and online.”

During the first portion of the class, students attended one weekly lecture that introduced them to the constitutional basis for elections, examined famous political writings on primaries, and viewed fictional primary contests in film.

This work culminated in a mock debate held on the Derryfield stage, where participants modeled themselves after the various candidates running for president in this election cycle. In preparation for the debate,

the students generated a list of topics they wanted to discuss during their exchange.

From there, History teacher Dr. David Pook gave them a short list of topics. Each student created speeches for five topics, three of which they were able to discuss.

The debate utilized the newest technology, allowing one “candidate” to join in via cable uplink and included audience participation.

Students in the audience signed in to Socrative.com on their personal devices and participated in the discussion with the live results projected on the screen.

receiving weekly updates as the primary was happening. Gavin Shilling ’17, concluded, “The MOOC class was a lot of work, but because I was motivated by the topic, I saw it as more of a learning experience than just classwork. I gained information I wouldn’t have otherwise received.” He adds that the debate itself was very helpful in regard to his public speaking skills and understanding the motivations and politics that drive these debates. It also provided him with a clearer understanding of the candidates' perspectives on the issues.

To complete the semester, students joined the University of New Hampshire MOOC (massive online open course) which involved studying the history of primaries, and New Hampshire’s in particular, examining the realities of running a campaign in the State, and D E R RY F I E L D.O R G

T

he Derryfield School Lyceum Gallery and E. Charles Sanborn Visiting Fellow Program proudly presented Different Roots, Common Dreams: New Hampshire’s Cultural Diversity, featuring photography by Becky

Field.

Ms. Field's stories and her musical guests entertained students during a special assembly in February. The reception, held later in the month due to tricky New England weather, featured authentic Syrian refreshments from Aissa Sweets of Concord (a bakery owned by Derryfield alumna Evelyn Brensinger Aissa '99), followed by a presentation and book signing.

With 133 photographs and firsthand stories and quotes from New Hampshire immigrants, Different Roots, Common Dreams: New Hampshire’s Cultural Diversity illustrates the beauty and resilience of new American families and describes the joys and challenges of finding home in a new land. The photographs show workplaces, funerals, weddings, children at play, sacred ceremonies, and colorful celebrations.

Presenter Becky Field shares her photographs and stories during a special assembly in February.

“My photography shows that while we may be different in many ways, we all have the same dreams,” said Field, “to have a safe home, a job that supports our families, a bright future for our children, and freedom to practice our religious and cultural traditions.”

About the Photographer: Becky Field’s images focus primarily on social documentary issues. Since 2012, she has photographed cultural, ethnic and religious diversity in New Hampshire. Field holds a Certificate in Photography from the NH Institute of Art and is a member of NH Society of Photographic Artists and Professional Photographers of America.

DERRYFIELD STUDENTS' CREATIVITY SHINES AT SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS

T

he Scholastic Art Awards is an annual juried art competition for students in grades 7-12. Their work is considered next to the artwork of hundreds of student artists from all over the state of New Hampshire.

Out of 38 individual entries, Derryfield celebrated with eight big wins! Among the winners, Rosie Steiner '17 was awarded a Gold Key for her digital drawing "Galactic." Silver Keys were presented to Susanna Barger '17 and Olivia Husak '17. Honorable Mentions was given to Megan Farr '18, Olivia Husak '17, and Anja Stadelmann '17. Recent alumnus, Noah Doherty '16, was recognized with a Silver Key and Honorable Mention for two digital art portfolios, and was presented with a scholarship from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. With new and expanding courses in the creative arts, Derryfield looks forward to even more students participating this winter.

THE CREATIVE ARTS AT DERRYFIELD: A YEAR IN REVIEW

T

he Creative Arts department at Derryfield strives to engage the mind, brighten the spirit, and deepen our understanding of the world around us while inspiring imagination, conversation, and hope. The magic of the Creative Arts offers a shared human experience.

Each year the magic is captured in opportunities that abound in the studio, on the stage, and in rehearsal rooms. Our program is marked by participation, personalization, and individual creativity. Derryfield artists did some amazing things this past year!

From the middle school wave to the upper school cafeteria, a steady rotation of stunning artwork filled the walls at Derryfield this year. Introducing five new visual art courses, students explored how technology can be implemented to create artwork through the practice of digital art, graphic design, and advanced digital photography. Printmaking and 2D Mixed Media further enhanced the existing visual art electives, and encouraged many collaborative and experimental approaches to the art making process. Middle school students blended their understanding of art history with creation, critical thinking and problem solving and developed amazing works of art. The hard work and creative efforts of our students was recognized this year with eight Scholastic Art Award Winners.

The Lyceum Gallery continues to be an active space for viewing and discussing artwork, with five different exhibitions, and numerous visiting artists who hold master classes and workshops. Experiential art trips to regional museums and galleries further enhanced student learning, and was highlighted by a trip to New York City where students met with two Derryfield alumni, artist Jeff Frederick ’87 and Katie Griffin ’00, Exhibition Manager at the Guggenheim Museum, as well as famed photographer and painter William Wegman.

The music department had a fabulous year with record audiences enjoying Winter and Spring concerts. Middle and upper school musicians performed at numerous assemblies and off campus events. Both choral and instrumental programs continued to grow in numbers and options. The Upper

School a cappella groups are especially popular and have inspired middle schoolers to create their own group! The instrumental groups continue to grow and the future promises more collaboration, more mentorship, and more growth.

At the state level, the Derryfield program continues to impress with students named to the NHMEA Jazz All State Festival, with each student featured prominently at the final concert At the New Hampshire All State Festival there were nine students selected, and two of them were invited to participate in the prestigious Chamber Music Festival.

nce again the main stage was filled with extraordinary performances. As part of the middle school curriculum all sixth graders perform in a musical. Half of the class prepared the outrageous How To Eat Like a Child in the fall while the spring section brought the house down with Schoolhouse Rock. The Middle School production of Disney’s Cinderella was a stunning display of talent, complete with a magnificent carriage.

Audiences experienced the power of theater as upper school thespians performed the smash hit musical Phantom of the Opera. Far beneath the majesty and splendor of the Paris Opera House hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist. Choreography, costumes and extraordinary vocals exceeded the most seasoned theater goers’ expectations.

The Crucible – Directors Jim Speigel and Ellen Desmond write, “Despite the weighty content, the Crucible is an intense drama with messages that get at the core of human desire and integrity in subtle ways.” Cast member Anna Mae Murphy, who played the role of Abigail Williams shared that in times of threat people lose their sense of good judgement and look for someone to take the lead. But what happens when leadership falls into the wrong hands? Audiences left this intense performance reminded that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

breakthrough manchester BREAKTHROUGH MANCHESTER CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF TEACHING, LEARNING, AND LEADING

J

ust over 160 people joined Breakthrough Manchester on July 15 to reconnect and reminisce, celebrate with the current community, and consider the future of this remarkable program.

In addition to the rich conversation and connections that made the occasion so special, we unveiled the 25th Anniversary film documentary that Jan Sutcliffe and Joel Schwelling volunteered hundreds of hours to produce for us. The film features five BTM teacher alumni who now all work together as colleagues in an urban turnaround school, UP Academy Leonard in Lawrence, MA. The film reminds us that the work we do is so important not only for individual students and teachers in the short term, but also for leveraging better education and greater opportunity for thousands of students across the country and across the globe in the long term.

Every former director returned to mark the event, along with the key early champions and founders. Left to right: Marc Hurlbut, Lynn Sorensen, Joel Vargas, Natalie Koepp Gray, Kathryn Robinson, Kate Erskine, Becky Berk, Pauline Elkin, and Nancy Stearns.

REFLECTIONS OF A BREAKTHROUGH MANCHESTER ALUM

Molly's Breakthrough Reflections

olly Provencher ’13 reflects on the impact and trajectory Breakthrough Manchester had on her life. A Breakthrough alum, Molly returned for her fourth summer of teaching with the program that inspired her to reach high. Molly is presently enrolled at Connecticut College, where she is studying history and education.

Dear Breakthrough, On my first day as a student, I was so small. You gave me a voice. On my first day the bus ride home was a magical carriage buzzing with newness.

On my first day I had spirit coursing through my veins. My teachers smiled, and played, cheered and joked unlike any teachers that have ever existed.

On my last day, everything was the same, except for me. And I never would be, for all the right reasons.

M

Dear Breakthrough, With no direction, gliding through high school, you never let me lose sight of college. When I wavered you were there. Stable as ever, ready to show me that difficult was just a synonym for challenge. And I always did like a challenge.

Dear Breakthrough, Your students are your heart and soul. Your students will work hard. Your students will go to college. They will shine bright in their classes like STARS. Your students will come to you when their world is falling apart before their eyes. And you, Breakthrough, will always be willing to help.

Dear Breakthrough, I will be a teacher soon. I will be the best teacher because I will always look for the praise and the prompt. Where I can improve and how I can increase achievement. I will look at where I need to step up and step back. I will jump at the opportunity to lean into discomfort. I will be crisp and say what’s core.

And most importantly I will always be early.

BREAKTHROUGH MANCHESTER SUMMER THEMES

PARTNERSHIP WITH SNHU ALLOWS PROGRAM GROWTH

F

or 25 years, Breakthrough Manchester at The Derryfield School (originally called Summerbridge) has worked with Manchester middle school students who have high academic potential but limited opportunities for enrichment and advancement, particularly during the summer months. Now, through a new partnership with Southern NH University, Breakthrough will extend mentoring, periodic workshops, college counseling, and school-year enrichment activities for these students right through their entry into college. Although the entire sixyear program is tuition-free, the expectations of students and their families are high.

Students must apply to Breakthrough as sixth graders; there is no other entry point into the program. “Breakthrough develops and fosters a unique culture of college-bound expectations, high spirits, positive risk-taking, personal growth and leadership,” says Becky Berk, Breakthrough’s Executive Director. “Our students support each other, swimming in a sea of like-minded and motivated students who demonstrate commitment to their own success and that of their peers. The fact that our students enter the program and develop and grow together is central to their success as scholars and leaders within their own schools and communities.”

Breakthrough operates with a unique StudentsTeaching-Students model. The students in the Breakthrough program are taught by college undergraduates (and some high-achieving high school students) who receive intensive training, mentoring, coaching, and support as emerging educators. Our dual approach—developing student potential as scholars while also inspiring the next generation of excellent teachers—has won accolades from Columbia University, the College Board, and the Drucker Institute, among others. In fact, the paid summer Teaching Fellowship at Breakthrough has been named a “Top Ten Internship for College Undergraduates in the Country” by Princeton Review. Breakthrough works to close the opportunity gap from two sides simultaneously—providing academic enrichment opportunities to students who might not otherwise have them, and developing the next generation of excellent teachers who are

A college education is increasingly necessary for greater earning potential in the 21 st century and beyond. Breakthrough Manchester is squarely focused on fully developing the talent of motivated students—students who are willing to work hard but who lack opportunities that their peers may readily afford. We look for students who like to learn, are curious, have dreams for their future, and typically earn above average grades in school—through talent or hard work or both. Accepted students also typically have one or more characteristics that put them at risk for obtaining a college degree: their parents did not attend college, they speak a language other than English at home, they are eligible for free or reduced lunch, their race or ethnicity is typically underrepresented on college campuses, or they live in a single parent or substitute caregiver household.

“We simply cannot afford to overlook the latent talent among our community’s children, regardless of their zip code, neighborhood, language, ethnicity, family income, or family structure,” according to Berk.

LEADERSHIP & ADVANCEMENT

DERRYFIELD KICKS UP ITS HEELS AT A FIESTA

A

fter taking a break for a year due to the 50th Anniversary Gala in 2015, the PFA Spring Benefit came back with an "Ole!" in 2016. Over 200 members of the Derryfield community gathered on May 14 at the Manchester Country Club for a rousing “Catorce de Mayo” celebration. Organized by event chairs extraordinaire Julie Taub, Lea Kelsey, and Brenda Lombardozzi, the event was as much for community building as it was for raising money, and it was a great success at both. Guests participated in raffles, popped balloons, bid enthusiastically on silent and live auction items, all while connecting, conversing, and generally enjoying each others’ company. In the end, over $100,000 was raised to support programs at both Derryfield and Breakthrough Manchester, and every guest, whether they were a winning bidder or not, took home warm memories of the event.

Celebrity Auctioneer Billy Costa delights attendees with his quick wit while drumming up dollars to support the PFA's initiatives.

DERRYFIELD WELCOMES NEW TRUSTEES

T

Bill Kelsey, father of Hannah ’16, Nate ’18, and Lila ’21, may be relatively new to Derryfield, but he and his wife Lea have already had a big impact. They both served as parent Annual Fund Chairs in 2015-2016, Bill is coaching the Middle School soccer team, and Lea was a co-chair of the PFA Spring Benefit in May. “Derryfield has offered a lot to my family in two short years,” says Bill, “community, passion for learning, and building confidence in oneself.

I am happy to serve on the Board to ensure that Derryfield can continue to offer that same experience to future generations of students.”

Bill has extensive insurance and real estate development experience, and is currently the

Neal Winneg ’78 joins the Board with a Derryfield history that goes back to the very beginning­—his parents, Fran and Dick Winneg were one of the original 39 founding families. A lawyer and businessman, he has been general counsel and an executive at a wide variety of businesses in the Boston area, including marketing, tech, and education-related companies. Neal has been tremendously impressed with Derryfield’s growth and progress from its early days as a small, alternative school, and is eager to work for its continued advancement and maturity. Having left Derryfield after the tenth grade for a boarding school experience,

and having two children who also attended different independent schools, Neal brings both an inside and an important outside perspective to his work on the Board.

Jim Lamp, husband of former trustee Laurie Lamp and father of Curtis ’09, Barrett ’11, Emmie ’12, and Griffin ’14, is an engineer by trade, and is the principal at J and Company, LLC in Tewksbury, MA. Although his children have all graduated, he’s pleased to be on the Board and to remain a vital part of the Derryfield community. He’s excited about where the School is heading and about the planned new facilities to support an “already great day school.” Being an engineer himself, and with three of his four children either in, or pursing, careers in STEAM fields, he’s especially excited by the new STEAM spaces, and is looking forward to helping make them a reality.

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR DEPARTING BOARD MEMBERS

M

ay 2015 saw another type of reunion for Derryfield: not for alumni of the school, but for the Board of Trustees.

Hosted by Karl and Louise Norwood and Vadim and Colleen Plotsker, current and former trustees gathered at the Plotskers’ home to celebrate the school and its accomplishments, and to look to the future. Attendees heard from Mary Carter about the strides the school is making toward its vision and mission, and what still needs to be done to realize them fully.

SUMMER GATHERINGS

Board Chair Brad Benson ’78 also took time to say farewell to departing trustees, and to thank them for their service. The entire school community echoes his words of gratitude.

John Arnold ’00 joined the Board in 2011, having served on the Alumni Council, where he continues to serve. His legal skills on the Governance Committee were invaluable, as he updated the Board and Alumni Council by-laws, and helped craft resolutions that were clear, concise, and understandable.

Gary Goudreau, parent of Taylor ’11 and Tiffany ’09, joined the Board in 2013, serving on the Buildings and Grounds committee, he generously shared his architectural expertise.

Although he had to end his term early when his firm bid to design Derryfield’s new facilities, Gary remains passionate about Derryfield and helping us reach our shared vision.

John Bryan, parent of Nick ’08, Cassie ’12, and Jessey ’16, joined the Board in 2010.

He was always a voice of wisdom and careful thought in discussions, and was especially concerned about and encouraging to faculty and staff.

Lisa McGrath, parent of Ryan ’19, joined the Board in 2013. She served on the Governance Committee and was secretary of the Board. She was always on the spot with marketing advice and had a wealth of good ideas about how to engage our community.

he sound of laughter and joyful chattering filled the air as the class of 2016 assembled for their final moments together as a class.

Graduates were welcomed by Head of School Dr. Mary Halpin Carter and commended for their collective accomplishments and playful approach to life.

"More than any class in recent memory, you have defined your

Retiring English teacher Richard Anthony gave the faculty address.

“We can’t tell where we’ll find things to latch onto; we can’t predict what or who will be important," however we can “pay attention to the world.” He spoke about Muhammad Ali's global impact, far beyond the confines of a boxing ring and athleticism. Much of who Ali was or became was of his own creation. “He created a version of himself, to a great extent with words,” words that were solidified through actions.

Class President Peter Lehmann presented the class gift, a donation to Derryfield’s Annual Fund “in honor of our excellent teachers, advisors, coaches, and directors—we have enjoyed class trips, international travel, assembly speakers, and been the recipients of unmatched educational experiences.”

Jessey Bryan ’16 spoke of the common characteristic among his class, "the willingness to move out of our comfort zones and participate in these new opportunities." He rallied the class to keep this momentum in 24

Dunbarton, NH

"Duke is the ideal place for me because it combines the benefits of a larger research university with the perks of receiving a liberal arts education­—Derryfield helped me prepare for the college process because the school has a lot of people with experience in shopping for a college as well as numerous connections to many higher learning institutes.

Even though finding a school can be overwhelming, Derryfield and its counselors helped by making students pay attention to what they really want in a school so they could narrow down their options." * 2016 U.S. Presidential Scholar

Pelham, NH

“I feel that my college search process at Derryfield was a true team effort. I had frequent discussions with my college counselor Mr. Barnard, my advisor Dr. Carter, and Coach Hettler.

The scheduled class meetings and information sessions regarding the college search process, Naviance, the college essay, and the Common Application helped to alleviate some of the stress that comes with making such an important decision. In the end I chose the college that had both the best academic and athletic fit for me."

The Class of 2016 included a U.S. Presidential Scholar, National Merit Scholar, National Merit Hispanic Scholar, and National snowboarding and equestrian champions.

Xinyu (Cynthia) Teng Qingdao, China

"As an international student, I did not start my college process until the fall of my senior year. I was afraid, confused, panicking and had no idea what I wanted to do in the future. It was Mr. Barnard, Mr. Lemire, and Ms. Josephson that helped me draw a blueprint of suitable colleges and make them come true. It was amazing how much we accomplished within such a limited time.”

Ryan Goggin

Brown University

“The classes I took at Derryfield gave me an idea of what I wanted to major in, so the colleges on my list all had strong engineering and chemistry programs. The college counseling at Derryfield also taught me to balance my list of potential colleges with safety, target, and reach schools.

In the end I was accepted to both Princeton and Brown­—something I would never have thought possible, without the encouragement of Mr. Barnard and the college counseling office.”

student leadership LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BUILDS STUDENT CAPACITY

I

ntentional and sustained engagement for the common good—Derryfield’s working definition of leadership was created through an action step in goal two of our strategic plan, “Leading,” which calls for the School to “cultivate inspired, effective, and compassionate student leaders committed to enriching their wider communities.” As we enter year three of the current strategic plan, the leadership development program has progressed immensely, but is still a work in progress.

The goal of the leadership development program is to build the capacity of each of our students to be a leader when called upon.

Three main domains of leadership have been articulated. Students will work to develop a significant sense of self awareness, leadership style, and ability to work collaboratively.

Strengthening their character in order to lead compassionately and effectively is the second component. Finally, students will recognize and exercise their influence such that they will integrate their newly acquired skills into a group setting to work towards the common good.

In order to build this capacity in students, the Derryfield community is providing a myriad of opportunities to practice and hone leadership skills. These opportunities exist in the classroom, during advisory, on the athletic fields, on the stage, and behind the scenes, and by making daily choices that lead down a purposeful path. Almost 90 students participated in formal leadership development programs during the 2015–16 academic year, including Derryfield's first Annual Student Leadership summit and several off-campus leadership conferences.

Dr. Carter has begun working with students on developing personalized pathways that explore students' passions and enrich their course selections and extracurricular choices.

Providing students with opportunities and allowing them to take action based on what they learn is key to the leadership process. Mr. Dougherty's ecology class built a hydroponic

system, modeled after one students saw at The Island School as part of a global program learning about sustainability. Three rising juniors (Bella Hoang, Henna Malik, Sammy Hinton) started a racial awareness dialogue group on campus "to provide a brave space" where students can talk about issues often kept silent, after attending the NE Youth Identify Summit. In the spring seniors participated in off campus internships through the Independent Senior Project program, and over a third of those seniors were offered summer employment as a direct result of their diligent work during April and May. The PACTeam (Peer Awareness Community Team) worked with the 6 th and 8 th grade health and wellness

classes and are excited about an upcoming project to create a positive impact on campus (stay tuned). Overall, student participation in leadership opportunities in the 2015–2016 school year nearly doubled that of 2014–2015.

Looking ahead, a challenge grant from the EE Ford Foundation [$50,000 to support leadership initiatives, awarded in June] will ensure more students have access to formal leadership development opportunities. As the leadership program expands, we look forward to connecting with alumni, alumni parents, and other community members who want to be involved in this growing program.

Twenty-five Derryfield 10th-12th graders participated in the 2016 Student Leadership Summit held at the Burr and Burton Academy Mountain Campus in Peru, VT.

SENIORS EXPLORE THEIR PASSIONS THROUGH ISP PROGRAM

T

he ISP program has come of age, and fittingly during its 31st year, it had 31 program participants. This 300% increase from normal participation rates is due, in large part, to the tireless outreach efforts of Director of College Counseling Brennan Barnard and Director of Student Leadership Danielle Llewelyn. Equally important, a number of participants were offered summer work as a result of their internships, and a number of students worked for Derryfield graduates!

The student experiences were as varied as their projects. Students explored their passions and found that working in their desired fields was exactly what they hoped for—or not!

Some participants reveled in their working world responsibilities while others discovered that working has tedious moments, and that their opinions were not always valued. These programs lead to self-discovery that extended far beyond the intended program description.

Here is a sampling of projects and experiences.

Noah Doherty interned for the inaugural season of Mosaic, a Washington, D.C. theater company, dedicated to creating greater awareness of cultural differences and cultural tensions underlying the gentrification of the city. Noah shared, “Through the passion of my co-workers, I discovered the joy of working for a greater cause. The overall experience of Mosaic challenged me in unexpected ways. I learned to live on my own, how to find a passion, and focus on a project that didn’t materially reward me in any way.”

Hannah Kelsey interned with TF Moran in Manchester under the tutelage of Derryfield graduate Dylan Cruess ’97 observing the everyday language and schedule of an engineering office. Specifically, her project included working on site plans for upcoming Derryfield campus expansions.

Jessey Bryan worked at Common Earth Farms, which provides land and resources for local refugees to grow and sell produce.

Charlotte Leyden worked at A Market, learning various aspects of the business and establishing a social media presence for them.

Elizabeth Krogman worked with local authors to refine her science fantasy novel, and taught writing techniques to elementary age children at her public library.

Emily Van Duren worked in a horse barn, learning the business of equestrian industry.

Eric Anthony explored the business of antique dealing, both buying and selling, specializing in lunch boxes, mantel clocks, and books. His profits were donated to charity.

Bhutan, where they were persecuted because of their Hindu religious beliefs.

Luke Chapdelaine worked as a biology lab assistant, where he did Biomechanics research at Saint Anselm College under the guidance of Prof. Bill Ryerson of the Biology Department. Their ultimate goal was to model a Burmese Python strike.

Luke learned a series of software programs to calculate values that included position, velocity, and acceleration of snake strikes.

Victoria Bemis worked at Sports Medicine North. She writes, “Overall, this ISP has been the highlight of my education. I knew what I wanted for a career path, but now had the chance to focus on one area and test the waters of my comfort zone. I learned not only about the work that goes into a clinic, but [my] calmness in the face of surgery!”

The culmination of the ISP was an opportunity for our students to share their experiences during school wide "salon-style" presentations.

Many thanks to Alice Handwerk, Betty Jipson, Danielle Llewelyn, Megan Loosigian, Dr. David Pook, and Dr. Andy Myers for the many hours they devoted to coordinating and overseeing these projects.

Frankie DeIeso-Frechette worked with Child Health Services shadowing a pediatrician and nurse practitioner.

Gavin Faulkner worked in a large animal veterinarian clinic experiencing routine and emergency cases throughout New Hampshire.

Maddie Pierson worked at Nanocomp, learning the physics and chemistry of their product line, including development and testing of their product line.

x learning DESIGN THINKING, INNOVATION, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP EQUALS X LEARNING

T

he STEAM program at Derryfield is on a rapid growth trajectory under the leadership of its new director, Dr. Marco Masoni, who is focused on developing pathways for students based on their interests and academic goals. Derryfield students, through Dr. Masoni's X learning model, are encouraged to see themselves as innovators capable of mastering the kinds of creative problem solving skills that are valued in everything from robotics to interdisciplinary

team research and building apps.

There were many notable achievements during the 2015–2016 school year. Upper school AP computer science students participated in a statewide hackathon for the first time and taught middle school students from the Manchester area how to code Java as part of the national Hour of Code initiative. The middle school robotics teams both made it to the First Lego League state championships, where the sixth grade team earned a special Judges Award.

Using the X learning model, students created “innovation” projects and entered them in national contests, resulting in one junior Annalise Groves taking third place in the Inventor’s Challenge, sponsored by AT&T. The year ended on another high note with two teams of student entrepreneurs impressing the judges at the BizGen startup competition so much that one venture capitalist praised Derryfield students for performing better than teams he had seen at the college and post-college levels. There were additional successes by the Math Team and students participating in the Science Bowl. The summer

was busy, too, with primary school students on campus for two weeks of learning to code games and tell stories using robots.

The year ahead features a significant expansion of the STEAM program in a number of areas.

A new robotics course has been added, along with a third robotics team to complete the grades 6–12 robotics pathway. Course selection has been broadened to include courses aimed at tackling global problems and brand building, among others. Coding and maker workshops are being offered throughout the year, with learning opportunities ranging from 3D printing to circuit building. The first annual Maker and Innovator Xpo (“MIX”) will also be launched during the spring and students will be able to showcase and share their project work across grade levels.

Perhaps one of the most satisfying measures of the program’s growing success is how enrollment in STEAM programs has increased by over 100%, attracting students who previously did not see themselves as “STEAM types.” Together with faculty and staff, Derryfield students are building a true STEAM and Innovation ecosystem on campus.

DERRYFIELD'S FIRST DESTINATION IMAGINATION TEAM ADVANCED TO GLOBAL FINALS

T

Their designed yielded a trophy and medals, but more importantly a coveted spot at the nationals—41 of the 300 State teams advance.

At the state tournament, The Derryfield team, named The DS DIatonic Donuts, selected a Structural Challenge—the Musical Mashup.

The challenge involved designing and building a structure that supports weight and is a musical instrument. The design must then be implemented in a number of creative and structural objectives.

While DI is new to The Derryfield School, it is a popular program around the world in which small teams of students from kindergarten through college address challenges that have a focus in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the arts, and service learning. The Challenges are openended and, just like “real life,” have crossover to different disciplines, and students must develop big ideas, create amazing props, manage the project and expenditures, and do it all themselves.

ANNALISE GROVES ’17 PLACES 3RD IN AT&T INVENTOR'S CHALLENGE FOR 'ROCKMATE'

W

hile many schools are expanding course offerings in science, technology, engineering, and math, Derryfield is taking things one step further, examining these subjects in a projectbased approach that teaches students the concepts of design thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship. It was just that type of experience that led Derryfield STEM student Annalise Groves to enter The Imagination Foundation’s Inventor's Challenge, where her invention, RockMate, earned third place from among hundreds of entries worldwide.

Tasked with creating a viable solution to an actual problem, Annalise’s invention allows rock climbers to keep their phones “on the line” while scaling mountains. She created a phone leash called RockMate, made of paracord and adjustable to fit any phone. The leash is secured to a retractable string, which can be attached to a rock climbing harness, and allows climbers to safely use their phones during climbing treks.

While there was no programming or technology involved in building her invention, Annalise applied an innovator’s mindset to designing a solution to a problem relevant to her interests and passions.

Groves said she designed the RockMate, made of about $10-worth of parachute cord, by going through four versions before arriving at the final product. The entire process took about a month and a half, said Groves.

It is guaranteed that the technology currently available to our students will be outdated by the time they reach the workforce, but the skills and strategies they learn will be put to good use for their entire lives.

Inspiration to innovate often arrives in everyday moments. Groves and her brother, a fellow rock climbing enthusiast, wanted to capture their accolades but could not do so safely—Rockmate became the solution.

ALUMNI ENTREPRENEURS ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

O

n Monday, May 9, four Derryfield alumni entrepreneurs visited campus and shared their insights with students and other guests on the challenges and rewards of starting a business, in the School’s second annual Alumni Spotlight. The day began with a networking breakfast, where other alumni and guests of the school were invited to mix, mingle, and share ideas. Following the breakfast and a tour of campus, the four shared the stage at an all-school assembly, at which students were invited to ask questions of the group.

The four alumni represented a very diverse group of industries. Evelyn Brensinger Aissa ’99 founded a bakery, Aissa Sweets, LLC, with her husband Ahmad in 2012, with a mission of making

truly authentic Syrian sweets using pure, high quality ingredients and traditional production techniques. Cam Brensinger ’94 founded NEMO Equipment, Inc. in 2002 to make the highest quality and most innovative products for outdoor adventure. REBIScan, a medical device startup specializing in advanced ocular scanning technologies, was co-founded in 2009 by Justin Shaka ’00. Champagne & Ink, LLP, based in Newport, RI, is a creative event design and styling company begun by Ellen PJ (Jipson) Kelly ’00, specializing in custom designed wedding and event stationery, letterpress, prop building, photo shoot styling and direction, decor sourcing and creation, vendor curating, and much more.

sustainability ENVIRONMENTAL GLOBAL TRIP SPAWNS HOMEGROWN AQUAPONICS SYSTEM

T

his spring, students in our Environmental Science class designed and constructed a fully functioning and productive aquaponics system. In the introduction to a video she and her classmates produced about the project, junior Phoebe Socha said, “We decided to create a sustainable aquaponics system because we were inspired by a number of the world’s current problems like the warming oceans, ocean acidification, impact on global fisheries, and the current freshwater crisis.”

Initially inspired by a fully functioning large scale system that they encountered while at the Island School (one of our global program offerings), three students from the Environmental Science class returned ready to create a smaller scale model for more sustainable food production.

Aquaponics: “A system of aquaculture in which the waste produced by farmed fish or other aquatic animals supplies nutrients for plants grown hydroponically, which in turn purify the water.” (Oxford English Dictionary) Throughout the year, the class explored a wide variety of topics such as the global water crisis (rising physical and economic freshwater scarcity worldwide); increasing plastic pollution, including the bioaccumulation of chemicals and associated health effects due to plastic ingestion in fish; ocean acidification; coral bleaching; and overfishing to name just a few. In an effort to engage students in a “real world,” relevant project where students could design, build, and maintain a system directly addressing several of these concerns, the students researched aquaponics and subsequently constructed a fully-functioning system to raise both fish (blue tilapia) and plants (tomatoes, watercress, strawberries, lettuce, and arugula) in an almost closed system that uses 90% less water than traditional farming, eliminates the need for added fertilizers for plants or water treatment for fish, grows significantly more produce per square foot than traditional farming, and uses far less energy than traditional farming.

To be clear, this small scale system itself does not promise to make Derryfield more sustainable or even to decrease our environmental impact as a community. Yes, we have harvested and eaten lettuce and arugula; we have strawberries ready to pick and watercress and tomato plants that are thriving. The tilapia have settled into a stable and healthy environment and can one day be harvested as food as well. All of this is true, but it is a very small scale system that models one unique approach to addressing some pressing environmental problems while meeting the demands of a growing population. This project was not designed as a one size fits all solution, but rather as an opportunity for students to wrestle with the challenges that any proposed solution has and to think critically to address those challenges.

Aquaponics also has very real challenges related to its environmental impact and the ethics around it. Although the system has only two inputs, electricity and fish food, it requires electricity to run a water pump and an aerator. Solar power could be used and fish food could be grown, but our system is not yet that sophisticated. Future classes may research and test ways to further reduce the inputs and maximize the outputs.

Check out the student project on the page they built on the instructables. com website as part of their assessment. Their instructable page has had over 4,600 views and 136 “likes.”

THE DERRYFIELD SCHOOL OPERATING BUDGET FUNDING (2015-2016 Operating Budget)

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Derryfield School, On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Advancement Committee, I am pleased to share the philanthropic achievements of the 2015–2016 school year. Our robust community of parents, alumni and alumni families, Founders, grandparents, faculty and staff, trustees, and friends of the School has once again demonstrated its tremendous commitment to Derryfield by donating to the Annual Fund.

The Annual Fund supports vital initiatives at the School, providing the necessary financial resources to bridge the difference between what tuition covers and the total per student cost, and enables Derryfield to provide an outstanding and enriching experience for its students. This year, on the heels of the School’s 50th anniversary celebration, the Annual Fund reached a record breaking total of $644,275. Furthermore, the Annual Fund has grown by over $200,000 in past five years, reaffirming your strong commitment to Derryfield.

Participation rates were also inspiring. For the second year in a row, over 90% of current parents supported the School! The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) reports that the average current parent Annual Fund participation rate at independent day schools across the country is 72%, underscoring Derryfield’s phenomenal parent participation rate. Alumni participation was also impressive, growing to 22% this year, well above the NAIS average of 9%, and a top record for the School. These achievements would not be possible without the tireless efforts of volunteers and the capable support of the Advancement Office.

Derryfield continues to set ambitious goals, which depend upon the community’s generosity and support for the Annual Fund and capital campaigns. When you give to Derryfield, you are giving the gift of a Derryfield education and ensuring that the School maintains its level of excellence and commitment to students.

The Senior Class Gift was presented at commencement to Head of School Mary Halpin Carter by Class President Peter Lehmann. The gift was directed to Derryfield’s Annual Fund to support the arts, athletics, and financial aid to honor teachers, advisors, coaches, and directors.

The Eighth Grade Gift was made in support of “wish list items” to enhance the entrance to the Middle School by replacing the trash and recycle bins with attractive 21st century receptacles. These will be purchased by the Building and Grounds office through vendors who offer quality furniture and equipment needs.

Jeffrey Baron shares news from Virginia Tech: “I joined the Formula SAE team and have really enjoyed the problem solving challenges associated with it. I impressed the senior team members when I came up with a solution to one of the issues the team has been having with the car that didn’t require completely disassembling and redesigning the entire component. Now they are helping me to get my machine shop access a semester early so that I can do even more for the team. I have actually learned more about engineering from that club than I have in my engineering class. Being a part of the FSAE club gives me a creative outlet to pour some of my hyper-focus energy into, allowing me to more easily focus on the tasks that I do need to get done.” ▪ Kristi Boucher played tennis her freshman year at the University of Vermont. ▪ Natalie Duncan

She got her TEFL certificate and used the Workaway web site to scope out the many volunteering opportunities. ▪ Emma Garfield was honored to represent Derryfield and New Hampshire at the Lions Twin State Soccer Cup last summer.

The Cup was a match between the top seniors in NH and VT at Castleton State College in Vermont. While not boasting about being a top senior, she said that it was amazing to play with the girls who are simply incredible athletes. The game itself did not go the way they expected, as Emma’s team lost, but the score does not reflect the way that New Hampshire played! ▪ Sandy Lockwood was at Babson this summer.

MARSTON ’01 AND DEVINE ’76 RECEIVE ALUMNI AWARDS The Distinguished Alumni Award was awarded posthumously to Blake Marston ’01 and the Alumni Service Award was awarded to Jeannie Devine ’76 at Founders’ Day as the kick off to reunion weekend.

Faculty member Jeff Hastings awarded the 2016 Distinguished Alumni Award posthumously to W. Blake Marston ’01, a member of the US Navy’s elite SEAL special operations force, who served in the Navy for six years, achieving the rank of Special Warfare Operator 1st class. The award was received by his brother, Chris Marston and fellow alumnus, classmate, and teammate Matt D’Alessio ’01. “Blake Marston was an inspiration to our students,” said coach Jeff Hastings. “He was the best of the best, in his approach to all he tackled, whether it was baseball or his chosen career path. It was this combination of hard work and dedication to the game that helped earn him eight career no-hitters, three first team All-State nominations, as well as the 2001 Player of the Year, and then numerous awards as he served in the elite Navy SEAL program. While at Derryfield, he was a leader on and off the field; we honor his sacrifice (and the sacrifice of so many people in the military who put themselves in harm’s way on behalf of our nation) with this award.”

This award is given to an alumna/ us who exemplifies the Derryfield ideal, and Jeannie did this as she tirelessly worked with Jennifer Melkonian to make the Fiftieth Gala the extraordinary event it was. Says Jennifer, “Jeannie was my right hand, we couldn’t have done it without her.” Jeannie reached out to families and acquaintances, bringing members of her class back to campus, some of whom hadn’t returned since their graduation.

GAP YEAR IN REVIEW

M

y gap year was absolutely phenomenal!

I had the opportunity to travel to Spain for three months for intense Spanish immersion in the golden city of Salamanca. I then spent three more months traveling through Australia and New Zealand, doing service work as well as exploring the beautiful mountains and mysterious caverns decorating the countries.

During my stay in Spain, I lived in an apartment complex and shared a room with another girl from California. Every morning I had intensive Spanish immersion classes. Then, after classes, I would help teach younger Spanish students English. We would teach them basic English, American culture, and about certain holidays that we celebrated in the United States that they didn’t typically celebrate in Spain. Salamanca was a very small city and everything was within walking distance. On days that I wasn’t teaching students, my friends and I would go explore the city, its many antique stores, and beautiful parks.

On long weekends the organization we were working with, API, would take us on small trips to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, and so on.

After my three months of studying in Spain, I headed to Australia and New Zealand to complete my next goal. A group of 13 other people and I traveled all of the northern and southern islands of New Zealand as well as the east coast of Australia. The three months were split into two

different sections, one week of service work, and then the next week was all about adventure.

Our adventures consisted of exploring caves, canoeing down rapids, skydiving, rafting, repelling off waterfalls, cliff jumping, hiking, camping, and many more incredible activities. For service work, we helped out in several farms and learned many new skills such as chopping wood and herding cattle.

Taking a gap year allowed me t0 feel much more mature and confident, which will help me succeed in college and beyond. It allowed me to take a step back and take a breath before diving headfirst back into school. I was able to expand my comfort zone, learn new things, and explore new opportunities.

LETTER FROM ALUMNI COUNCIL PRESIDENT GAYLE MCGINNIS ’76 Dear Friends of The Derryfield Community, The Alumni Council had a busy and productive year and is already busy putting exciting plans in place for the year ahead.

The Council has multiple roles: • Staying abreast of what is happening at the School, • Strengthening ties of our alumni to the School, and • Increasing alumni participation in the Annual Fund in order to expand academic, athletic, and arts programs offered to current and future Derryfield students.

For the academic year 2015–2016 we had three guest speakers from the School present at our council meetings: • Mary Carter, Head of School, shared with us the state of the school, plans for the upcoming year, and the master facilities plan.

• Ben Dougherty, Head of the Upper School, discussed the strategic plan for The Center for Purposeful Leadership, which could include partnering alumni leaders with students for mentoring and shadowing opportunities and developing internships for seniors at local institutions.

• Kathleen Rutty Fey ’87, Director of Admission, discussed activities and sought input for strategies to increase enrollment, especially for the middle school.

The alumni council has four subcommittees, each have activities throughout the academic year that support the mission of the Alumni Council: Engagement, Leadership, Outreach, and Nominating subcommittees.

The Leadership Subcommittee was led by Anne Lucas ’02. The activities supported by this group included: • The Annual Country Fair last September.

• The Annual Fund Drive, including efforts from alumni volunteers reaching out to classmates and two phon-a-thons, staffed by alumni from several classes. The outcome of these collective efforts is that the Alumni Fund participation is over 20% for a 2nd year in row!

• The class of 1968 leads the reunion giving challenge with 53% class participation!

• Our newest alumni, the class of 2016 led a senior annual fund challenge and were able to achieve 54% participation!

Now these are two classes to beat!

The Outreach Subcommittee was led by Kathleen Rutty Fey ’87. The activities supported this year were: • Creation of class Facebook pages for reunion classes • The addition of class notes submission button to the alumni website • Increased and more consistent communication with alumni • Creation of a survey to determine interest in mentoring high school students, which could include networking support, shadowing opportunities, and internship opportunities, etc.

• Opening the online alumni directory to make it easier for classmates to stay in touch

The Engagement Subcommittee was led by Kelly Steele Reis ’97. The activities supported by this group were:

The Nominating Subcommittee was led by Chris Norwood ’99. The activities worked on by this subcommittee were:

• The 2nd annual Alumni Spotlight Series with a focus on Entrepreneurs. Four alumni returned to campus and shared their experiences starting their own businesses. A big thank you to: Evelyn Brensinger Aissa ’99, Cam Brensinger ’94, Ellen PJ Kelly ’00, and Justin Shaka ’00.

• Updating the Bylaws for the Alumni Council. Our appreciation to John Arnold ’00 for providing us with the legal expertise needed to finalize these.

• Independent Senior Projects Partnership: this subcommittee is partnering with the School to create a network of alumni working in a variety of fields who can identify/set up potential opportunities for “real world” experience and learning.

• Reunion weekend was a great success with over 100 alumni returning to campus and class parties at various homes and locations.

• Regional events were held in both Boston and New York, as well as small gatherings across the country in other regions of faculty and staff travel.

• Selection of the Distinguished Alumni and Alumni Service Awards for reunion classes • Addition of senior class representatives to the council to present the student perspective

I would personally like to thank all the members of the Alumni Council for their commitment of time and effort to the support of The Derryfield School. The Members include: Lori Evans Alderin ’00, John Arnold ’00, Peter Bielagus ’94, Bennett Freeman ’70, Laura Hunter ’00, Eliza Kissick ’16, Ed Lemire (faculty representative), Walter Milne ’82, Daniel Muskat ’86, Chris Norwood ’99, Kelly Steele Reis ’97, Davis Richmond ’86, Kathleen Rutty Fey ’87, and Zachary Sherman ’16.

IN MEMORIAM

Matt Sherman ’12 passed away in Waltham, MA, on January 13, 2016. He was born in Manchester on August 4, 1993, the son of Richard ’82 and Dorothy “Dot” (Cameron) Sherman. After graduating from Derryfield in 2012, he went on to University of Tampa and transferred to Brandeis University, where he was a senior. Matt was a very creative soul. He was a talented writer and hoped to pursue a career in writing or music production. He liked to explore the meaning of lyrics in an effort to understand the world around him and the struggles of others. Matt was a movie aficionado/film critic who enjoyed all genres of film, but especially anything superhero-related.

Matt was a true and loyal friend to all those he cared about, always putting others before himself. He cherished time spent with friends and looked forward to their traditions of camping, hiking, and bonfires. Matt enjoyed time with family, whether it was fishing and boating on Cape Cod, binge watching a new TV series he’d discovered, or sampling his brother’s baking. All those who loved him miss him.

Greg Morin ’01 of West Newton, MA, died on March 1, 2016. Greg was born in Concord, NH, on April 14, 1983, to Jeff Morin and Betsy HamlinMorin, and started at Derryfield in the seventh grade. The intellectual curiosity and thinking skills that he developed at Derryfield served him well at Trinity College in Hartford, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and later at George Washington University Law School, where he got his JD. After working in Washington, D.C. for several years, he moved to Boston and began practicing law at Latham and Watkins, where he was known for his calm manner, work ethic, and dry wit.

Greg married Erica Miller in September of 2010 after they both graduated from law school. They enjoyed travelling together, and the places that they visited include Bali, the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Iceland, Angkor Wat, Istanbul, and Egypt.

Their adorable daughter, Katherine (Kate), was born in November of 2014. Her irrepressible smile, intelligence, great curiosity and boundless energy are a reflection of just some of the fine qualities that Greg and Erica shared.

He leaves his parents, Richard and Dot, and his brother, Zach ’16; his maternal grandparents, George and Margaret (McPherson) Cameron; his aunts, Ellen Sherman and Heather Brodio; his uncle, Bob Sherman; and his cousins, Beth, Michael, and Michelle.

He is survived by his loving wife, Erica Morin, and daughter, Kate; his parents, Betsy Hamlin-Morin and Jeff Morin; his grandmother, Jacqueline Morin; a brother, Doug Morin, and an aunt, Laura Chandronnait.

Casey Bonus April 14, 1978–March 6, 2016 His sister, Kelly shares, “Casey was a larger than life guy. I think a planet is the perfect metaphor for Casey; we always joked that he was on Planet Casey. He had gravity that pulled you in, whether you liked it or not. He had an abundance of life and spirit that was equal parts harmonious and contradictory. He had an atmosphere that protected you and made you happy and alive.

He had such a strong will and independence that was his orbit—you could never snap him out of it, it was just too strong. There was sunshine and plenty of it, but there were also storms, and desert and endless water. There were lakes, mountains, friends, and family. It was Casey’s world, and those of us that knew him we were just lucky enough to visit for a while.”

He was a Derryfield student in the 7th grade, graduated from Masconomet High School in Boxford, MA ’96 and St. Lawrence University ’01. He was passionate about the outdoors, skiing, fishing, bosting, swimming, grilling, ice cream, Wyoming, his neighborhood of Southie, and his friends. He leaves behind his mother, Cheryl Bonus Travers; brother Brady Bonus ’90, sister Kelli B. Gribbel ’87, three nephews, Hayden Gribbel, Alan Bonus, and Bailey Bonus; a niece, Lily Gribbel, his girlfriend Emily Radomile, his beloved dog, Cleo; and hundreds of friends.

LIFE AFTER DERRYFIELD

catching up with Kristie Migliori ’07 chronic diseases. Protective factors, including positive relationships with adults, a safe environment, social-emotional and coping skills, can reduce the effects of toxic stress to optimize development. Dr. Deitch’s unique design of the CHS model encourages a team approach.

I work closely with our Pediatrician, Dr. Lisa DiBrigida, and the team of family support workers, behavioral health consultants, nutritionists, nurses, and our child development program to reduce toxic stress and promote protective factors.

H

ow can you make the mouse-trap car travel a longer distance? What are the five themes of geography for your favorite movie? At Derryfield, the teachers taught us to look beyond what is right in front of us by asking the questions to gain a deeper understanding. Now I spend the majority of my day asking the questions, sometimes to the dismay of my teenage patients.

I think it is the most important part of my job as a Nurse Practioner (NP) because that additional information helps me to individualize plans and optimize health outcomes for my patients.

My interest in medicine started in Ms. KeefeHancock’s 9th grade biology class, and strengthened as I studied Cellular Neuroscience at Colgate University. At Colgate’s health care conference, I learned more about the NP profession. What sparked my interest was the ability to work and build relationships with patients after completing a two year Master’s program, having my own patient panel, and focusing on holistic care and patient

education. That is why I am still very happy with my decision to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Nursing from Boston College in 2013 and since then, I have worked as a Pediatric NP at Child Health Services at Manchester Community Health Center. CHS was founded by Dr. Selma Deitch, who was also one of the founders of The Derryfield School.

Our clinic site provides care to over 3,000 children. Almost half of the families are refugee or immigrant families. While many families are thriving, many also struggle with psycho-social issues.

Research has shown that childhood experiences and their environment can affect brain development and health outcomes. Toxic stress, such as poverty, bullying, socioeconomic disparities, exposure to violence, parental untreated mental health or substance abuse, can increase the risk of behavior problems and

There is no typical workday at our clinic. Usually I see 18 to 24 patients in a day. I diagnose and treat acute illnesses, manage chronic illnesses, and complete well child exams. For each patient there is a different story and plan. A visit for an ear infection is never just prescribing an antibiotic.

It is routine to ask about psycho-social health at each visit and to coordinate introductions with the rest of the team as needed. The family support worker will meet with a family who is homeless or help set up robotics camp for a ten-year-old who loves science. The behavioral health consultant will talk with a mother who is struggling with substance abuse or help a boy who has observed domestic violence. This is all part of our team approach to integrative health care.

The best part of my job is asking the questions— both to find out how we can help the families and to hear their stories. For every story of hardship, there are countless more stories of joy and accomplishments. I love asking my patients “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and watching their faces light up with their answers.

During most visits, the children are smiling and playing with toys, and the adolescents humor me by putting down their phones to talk about their accomplishments and goals for after high school. Every day they teach me about resilience.

It is a privilege to work with them.

GIVING PROFILE

T

he Derryfield School was already a familiar name to Bill Zorn by the time his first son, Alex ’11, came to school here in 2004. Beginning his career with the McLane Law Firm in Manchester in 1980, he heard the name frequently from senior partner John Graf, whose children also attended Derryfield, and who was an outspoken proponent of the school. Impressed by what he heard about a school whose values of academic excellence, service, and respect mirrored his own, when the time came for his boys, Alex ’11 and Tyler ’14, to start middle school, the decision was an easy one. He was pleased to know the school would be his ally as a parent, inspiring his sons to achieve all that they were capable of.

Bill began his service on the Board of Trustees in 2008. In that time, he’s come to recognize that although Derryfield projects an image of stability and continuity, there is at the same time continual change and innovation. He’s been especially excited by the energy of the past few years around the new strategic plan and the master facilities plan, and feels that it’s really “my time and our time [as a Board] to take the school to that next level.”

bill zorn Derryfield Trustee and alumni parent Bill Zorn with his sons, Alex ’11 and Tyler ’14.

Bill’s enthusiasm for helping Derryfield make the leap to the next phase of its growth is all part of his philanthropic view. As a Board member and campaign co-chair, he has been an important part of the growth of many New Hampshire non-profit organizations. His passion is to provide others with “the ability to improve themselves, and in particular, provide children with the opportunity to grow and develop with integrity to their highest level possible,” which he feels meshes perfectly with Derryfield’s mission.

As the co-chair of Derryfield’s current capital campaign, he gives and encourages others to do likewise because he feels that an investment in children is the ultimate ground-floor opportunity to “move society forward in a meaningful way.”

We thank Bill for his dedication to Derryfield and his willingness to invest in the future of so many young people in New Hampshire.
