From the Head of School

Dear Friends,

Most Heads of School worth their salt can recite their school’s mission statements on demand; though ours is rather lengthy, you can feel free to test me next time you see me. (If I get it wrong, you get a Dove Bite, which, as some of you know, is my attastudent gift of choice.) As a reminder, our mission statement begins with the phrase, “Harnessing the power of inspired learning in a world-renowned scientific and vibrant artistic community…” and though many are familiar with our deep roots in the scientific community, it is our vibrant artistic community that is the richly deserving focus of this edition of The GAM. How fortunate our students are to have access to so many talented artists who work to inspire them!

And the timing could not be better for the language of the 21st century is as much the image or the performance as it is the word or the number. The world belongs as much to the creative thinkers and storytellers among us as it does to the data scientists and engineers. Indeed if the research is to be believed, the graduates in demand these days increasingly are those who defy or transcend such convenient polarities as artist/scientist, creative/ analytical, image/text, etc.

Elliot Eisner, renowned champion of arts education, generated a list entitled “10 Lessons the Arts Teach.” Among the items on his “the arts teach children” list are a) problems can have more than one solution, b) there are many ways to see and interpret the world, c) the limits of language do not define the limits of cognition, and d) often judgment rather than rules prevail. In our studios and performance spaces, students learn to edit on the fly, make something out of nothing, go back to the drawing board, feel and think, tell a compelling story, and persuade an audience. Oh, and along the way, they make some pretty awe-inspiring art too.

As you will learn in this issue, a particular point of pride at Falmouth Academy is that the members of our arts department are, themselves, practicing artists, often at very high levels. They are passionate professionals who model the inherent value of the arts through both their instruction and their participation in the wider art world. We are equally proud of the many alumni, some of whom are quoted in this issue, who are pursuing a range of careers in the arts. Finally, thanks to the generosity of our many friends and benefactors, the beautiful Simon Center for the Arts, in just the last year, has served as a home to the Cape Cod Theater Project, Skylark, the Woods Hole Film Festival, the Falmouth Chorale, the Cape Youth Symphony Orchestra, as well as gallery space for a number of exhibits featuring local visual artists.

All of this is to say that, true to its mission statement, Falmouth Academy is indeed the “vibrant artistic community” that it aspires to be and in so much as we are living into our ambitions, we have you to thank. In the past year, we have made significant upgrades to our technical theater booth, installed track lighting throughout our various galleries, acquired a state of the large print digital scanner, and much more. But more importantly your support ensures that our students have access to the extraordinarily talented faculty you will read about here (and to their equally extraordinary colleagues!)

On behalf of our vibrant community, thank you!

A Venetian Masquerade

Gala, student council’s biggest annual fête and fundraiser, returned to campus with a Venetian masquerade theme after a two-year hiatus. The event, complete with the ever-popular swing dance competition—won this year by dance partners Sarah Thieler ’22 and Ned Heywood ’23—was held on May 6, 2022.

Student performers delighted and dazzled audience members with illusions, live musical performances, and a bit of comedy in the cafe situated under a tent on the lawn. Inside, games of chance and skill were enjoyed. Proceeds from this highly successful event benefited the Native Land Conservancy.

Cirque des Rêves

Falmouth Academy’s most successful benefit auction to date had a circus theme and was held on the school’s front lawn under a big top the night after Gala. Organized by a dedicated group of parent volunteers led by Kyra Mercer ’24 and Kim Elber ’26, it was a light-hearted whimsical affair. Auction-goers were entertained with a competitive game of heads or tails, a musical performance by Falmouth Academy’s International Ensemble, and the quick-witted and fast-talking professional auctioneer, John Schofield P’01. The highest bidders took home a range of items from vacation rentals to fine art, one-of-a-kind jewelry to theme baskets. This year’s Fund-a-Need supported the purchase of a new tractor.

Graduation of the Class of 2022

A few unexpected blessings came out of Covid including a new tradition of holding graduation in the open air on the front lawn. The commencement ceremony for Falmouth Academy’s 43rd graduating class was held outside in the late afternoon on June 11th and was presided over by Head of School Matt Green and Chair-Elect of the Board of Trustees Megan English Braga, whose son Derick Sterling was among the graduates.

Another new tradition, ushered in this year, was that members of the senior class choose their speaker with input from the faculty. Tasha Sudofsky was honored to give the keynote address and Valedictorian Zach Crampton presented the Class of 2022. Their remarks were followed by the seniors reading excerpts from their peer references and then the conferring of diplomas. The official end to the 2021-22 school year was marked with the ringing of the gong by Student Council President Tasha Sudofsky and Vice President Mia Galvam, which was quickly followed by a shower of confetti being shot into the air by the newly graduated.

A Trip to Cimmarones

In the wee hours of the morning following graduation, a group of 12 students and their chaperones, Carol DiFalco and Ben Parsons, embarked on an 8-day service learning trip with Global Vision International. This was the third Costa Rica service trip for Falmouth Academy. This year they traveled to Cimarrones, a region in the eastern Central Valley known for its pineapple and banana industries and its proximity to several Cabécar indigenous villages.

I enjoyed this trip because of the people I met, like our guide, Andrés. He was so welcoming and loved sharing with us about his conservation work rehabilitating sea turtles. From him, I learned that six out of seven species of sea turtle nest yearround in Costa Rica.

And people like Sergio, a man who makes handcrafted jewelry and weaves baskets for a living in the mountains of the Leon province. Through him and others, we learned about the income disparity between west coast tourist towns and eastern mountain communities. Many of the people we met in Las Brisas were native Cabécar people, who didn’t speak Spanish or English, only their own native language.

I learned a lot about how a receptive kind nature can help you connect with people. I think many of us realized by the end of the trip that helping someone doesn't always mean supporting them—listening to and understanding them can be even more impactful.

FA SUMMER, A Success Story

Charlie Jodoin, who many know as the Covid-Response Coordinator or the Director of Stagecraft, assumed a new role this year as Director of Auxiliary Programs, which included managing FA SUMMER, Falmouth Academy’s summer camp. Jodoin made many substantive changes to FA SUMMER including making it a full-day/8-week flexible program where participants could choose from an array of activities including robotics, French, hip-hop, ceramics, science, archery, soccer, and theater— just to name a few— to create their own unique day. A professional staff that included experts in their fields, as well as a bevy of energetic high school and college-age counselors, led the activities.

In addition to FA SUMMER, Jodoin organized a successful outdoor movie screening of the cult-classic Casablanca that kicked off with “Friends of Rick” trivia. Be on the lookout for more community offerings from Auxiliary Programs.

A Celebration of the Earth

On August 28th, Grammy-winner saxophonist Paul Winter teamed up with pianist Henrique Eisenmann to play under the stars before a nearly sold-out crowd at Falmouth Academy’s 2022 Summer Concert. It was a perfect Cape Cod evening, and the crowd was delighted by the instrumental, and occasional vocal, musings of this dynamic duo who created an alchemy of classical, folk, and jazz music.

Since the 1970s, Winter has been drawing inspiration from the sounds of Earth’s creatures, melding them with his music both for their musicality and in service of his environmental stewardship message. At the concert, he lifted up the three-note phrasing of the well-tempered wood thrush, which he discovered in his own backyard in Connecticut, as well as the sounds of the Alaskan tundra wolf and the humpback whale. The performance

was multi-modal, mixing spoken word, singing, live instrumental music, and audio recording.

Henrique Eisenmann is a Brazilian pianist and composer and teaches improvisation at The Juilliard School and New England Conservatory. In addition to accompanying Winter, he performed an eclectic repertoire of music that included a tribute to the world’s most beloved game of soccer and a folk song, “Lavadeiras do Jequitinhonha,” about washer-women from Northern Brazil.

A highlight of the evening was the hopeful and bittersweet performance of “Ukrainian Spring,” one of their newest compositions, which was released on Earth Day in honor of the Ukrainian people and their land. The evening ended with the audience howling along to “Wolf Eyes,” Winter’s lyrical tribute to an often misunderstood, gentle creature.

Crafting Life Lessons

Socktober, Sewvember, Crochember, Yarnuary, Fiberary are just some of the clever names for an after-school offering born out of Librarian Britta Santamauro’s love of crafting, particularly knitting. As the play-on-words might suggest, fiber arts in this context are projects made out of synthetic or natural fibers such as yarn, but can also include weaving, surface design, knitting, felt-making, basketry, hand papermaking, interlacing, dyeing, and fabric construction.

Santamauro is no stranger to teaching students how to knit. She first did so right out of high school when she participated in a year-long exchange program in Central America where she successfully taught sight-impaired children in Honduras, despite a language barrier. From that experience, she learned a lot of tricks to help people not only learn to knit but to love it.

One of the most liberating life lessons of learning how to knit or crochet is that it is okay to be bad at something when you’re first starting out, said Santamauro. Many people try it but don’t stick with it. A counter to this unwanted outcome is to tackle more modest projects, such as a small stuffed animal or a hat, rather than the more time-consuming first project, the scarf. For the more advanced knitters, Santamauro guided them through the perils of turning a heel as they knit socks together. Whatever their level, a consistent group gathered together to try their hands at all kinds of projects including crocheting bookmarks in Ukrainian colors that were sold to raise relief funds. Whether they came for the satisfaction of making something with their own hands or to socialize with friends, fiber arts knitted them together.

An Odyssey to the Self

As part of the interdisciplinary 9th-grade Changing Earth curriculum which debuted last fall, science teacher Liz Klein had the inspired idea to have her 9th-grade students study the geology of the Mediterranean after they read the Emily Wilson translation of The Odyssey in English class with Monica Hough. Students were asked to identify the geological features of regions around the Mediterranean; determine how they might have shaped aspects of society, both then and now; summarize what happened at that location in The Odyssey; and, describe the tectonic setting.

Above: Use a mobile device to scan the QR codes to reveal facts about the region.

Below: Monica Hough discusses the Odyssey with her 9th-grade students.

The “aha moment” came through a discussion of Daniel Mendelsohn’s An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic, which Hough had just finished reading on the recommendation of colleague Doug Jones in The Bookworm a few years back. In Mendelsohn’s poignant true story, he and his 81-year-old father decide to follow Odyssey’s travels and take an epic journey of their own, which leads to all sorts of connections and reflections on fathers and sons in the epic and in real life, explained Hough. Klein and Hough agreed that students should do something similar using one of the many maps that scholars have created to show real locations that likely correspond to those found in the fictional text. The result was an interactive map with QR codes linking to the student’s discoveries and descriptions.

“Myths help to explain the world and the human experience,” said Hough. “The Odyssey reflects on what it means to be human and to accept, even embrace, mortality.” The very first word of the epic poem in its original Greek is “man,” explained Hough, but its connotation is not just singular—of one man—but universal, includes all of humanity. Hough hopes that her students connect with this 3,000-year-old epic because they can see the relevance of these experiences and ask these timeless questions today. She mused, “Haven’t we all been lured by our versions of Lotus-Eaters, tempted by Sirens, and, at times, been caught between Scylla and Charybdis?”

As suggested in C.P. Cavafy’s poem, Ithaka, it is the journey itself that is the reward.

The Art and Science of Plankton

Students in Sharon Kreamer’s biology class studied and drew inspiration from the artistic illustrations of 19th-century naturalist, Ernst Haeckel, while participating in an Arts Across the Curriculum assignment tasking them to embroider ocean plankton under the tutelage of art teacher, Lucy Nelson. Haeckel’s gorgeous prints in the book Art Forms in Nature illustrate the beauty of microscopic marine life. Kreamer’s students were asked to research ocean zooplankton and phytoplankton and then create their original representation through embroidery in the style of Haeckel. The accuracy of Haeckel’s precise natural forms from the late 1880s has been confirmed by modern microscopy and still influences artists and designers today.

“Plankton are the essential, but often overlooked, base of food webs in marine and freshwater ecosystems,” explains Kreamer. They can be defined as small, often microscopic organisms that are unable to swim against a current. Plankton are a very diverse group of organisms including algae, diatoms, protozoans, and the eggs and larval stages of crustaceans and other larger animals. Students researched the role of their chosen plankton in its ecosystem as well as the organism’s key characteristics before commencing with needlework.

Students either used a template or created their own and were required to include at least four different stitches. Working on 6" hoops with needles and floss, students learned the patience and

attention to detail necessary to create the painstakingly beautiful designs that traditionally adorned fabrics such as dresses, men’s waistcoats, and household linens.

Kreamer invited her students to donate their designs to be fashioned into a quilt, which she stitched together over the summer with a water-themed fabric border. It now hangs in the science wing.

Scottie Mobley Goes to the Galápagos

This summer, science teacher Scottie Mobley traveled to the Galápagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago just off the coast of Ecuador. It is home to a diversity of plant and animal life with many species unique to the island, which makes it a destination for ecotourism and wildlife viewing. The site was made famous by Charles Darwin’s visit in 1835, which inspired his theory of evolution.

Mobley traveled with Ecology Project International, as part of a professional development program for science teachers that promotes inquiry-based methods to foster exploration and handson science to improve scientific literacy, promote environmental protection, and facilitate cultural exchange.

Through EPI’s exclusive partnership with the Galápagos National Park, Mobley and her group left the tourist sites behind to explore the world’s natural laboratory and work directly with national park rangers to study the Galápagos giant tortoise. “My group monitored tortoise populations on Santa Cruz Island and assisted with invasive snail eradication,” explained Mobley. She also learned about research being done at several giant tortoise breeding centers and the Charles Darwin Foundation, collected data on marine microplastic levels, and conducted snorkeling surveys at the Galápagos Marine Reserve. “My time was spent learning-through-doing while we hiked, explored, and snorkeled,” said Mobley. “It was amazing, and I’m grateful for the experience.”

A Coda for Music in the Mountains

In fall of 2004, Music Director George Scharr planned to take the Falmouth Academy Jazz Band to Europe on a performance tour. However, things fell through at the last minute. “I had to think fast so as not to disappoint this group of pumped-up kids,” recalled Scharr. He went home and discussed things with his wife Suzan, who suggested a trip to the White Mountains instead. This was a natural choice as the Scharrs had been vacationing in Lincoln, NH, for years and could pull something together quickly. Thus, Falmouth Academy’s Music in the Mountains program made its debut in the summer of 2005.

Over the last 17 years, the Scharrs, accompanied by a merry band of music makers, have taken anywhere from 12 to 30 students to New Hampshire for 5 uninterrupted days of performing and playing, with time carved out for hiking and exploring. “This is a period of great growth, both personally and musically, for the students,” said Scharr. He explained that not only do students play music nearly all day long, they also share in the responsibility for the success of the trip through managing equipment, keeping to a tight schedule, introducing the sets, and comporting themselves with a professional level of showmanship.

such as the Whale’s Tale Waterpark and Clark’s Trading Post; historical locations such as the Balsam’s Hotel in Dixville Notch and the Littleton Library; and other tourist destinations including the Mt. Washington Hotel, Indian Head Resort, and a cruise aboard the Mt. Washington on Lake Winnipesaukee. Music selections were chosen to match the venue, which kept the schedules and ensembles fresh and gave students a breadth of experience.

“Music in the Mountains was my first experience of being a touring musician,” said Tyler Gwynn ’12, a professional drummer with Tenth Mountain Division. “Packing up a bus full of musical gear and hitting the road with your best friends was something I looked forward to every year at FA. By the time I started touring later in life, that initial experience made it that much easier—loading in and loading out, scheduling, improvising when you can't find gear (a lesson I first learned in Dixville Notch when I forgot the kick pedal!), as well as how to have fun and explore the towns you're visiting—are all lessons that, to this day, pay off.”

Lodging and performance venues have varied over the years but typically the group performed at no less than five locations around New Hampshire. Venues included amusement parks

Sippican music teacher and former Falmouth Academy parent, Hannah Moore P’04 ’06 ’08 ’09, was a founding chaperone and helped lead the trip until Paul Weller, former FA teacher of the Mixed Instrumental elective, took over in 2009 until he retired in 2021. After a Covid-imposed hiatus, Falmouth Academy’s Chorus Director Maggie Bossi assumed the role. She added choristers to the trip and Director of Strings Ensemble Norma Stiner added strings.

The New Hampshire refrain of Music in the Mountains came to a close this year, but Scharr is already composing new opportunities for students to travel and make music together.

A PASSION for theARTS

The aphorism, “those who can, do; and those who can’t, teach” does not bear out at Falmouth Academy. The arts department is populated by talented professional artists and musicians in their own right, who make art and music in addition to being inspiring teachers. In fact, one might suggest that the experience of pursuing their own craft, enhances what they bring to class. It just might be the secret sauce to the dynamism of Falmouth Academy’s arts department.

George Scharr

George Scharr plays bass trombone for the Cape Symphony Orchestra, is the founder and conductor of the Symphony Swing Band and the Downtown Dixie Strutters, and is a founding member of the Cape Symphony Orchestra and Plymouth Philharmonic’s Brass Quintets. He is also known to give preconcert talks for the Cape Symphony Masterpiece Concerts.

Scharr is the Chair of Falmouth Academy’s arts department, the Director of Orchestra and Advanced Jazz Band, and Falmouth Academy’s Director of Community Outreach.

He has been recognized as a gifted and innovative educator by the Massachusetts Music Educators Association and the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, but his students know this firsthand. Although an exacting teacher, his enthusiasm is infectious and his encouragement knows no bounds. A consummate showman, he makes the work of making music seem effortless…but don’t be fooled. Scharr was classically trained at the New England Conservatory and, even in his late ’60s, still maintains a robust career outside of the classroom. He has been playing since early childhood—thanks to his mom, he likes to point out—and began his professional career at 16.

Scharr has played with a very diverse group of conductors and performers including Yo Yo Ma, Peter Schickle (PDQ Bach), Morton Gould, Daniel Pinkham, Joshua Bell, The Drifters, Freddie “Boom Boom” Cannon, Wendy Law, Royston Nash, Rebecca Parris, Bobby Vincent, Ike & Tina Turner, Nadia SalernoSonnenberg, Gunther Schuller, Sesame Street’s Big Bird, the Paul Winter Consort, John Pizzarelli, Dee Daniels, Byron Stripling, Pat Carroll, and Bill Holcombe, just to name a few. Despite this acclaim, Scharr is as gracious and hardworking as he is professional and talented.

His experience as a professional musician provides him with a rich and varied network of fellow professionals, which he freely calls upon to teach a master class, give student lessons, or

even join the arts department. In recent years, Scharr has added notable musicians to the roster of part-time teachers at Falmouth Academy including Margaret “Maggie” Bossi (chorus), Paul Weller (mixed instrumental), Norma Stiner (strings), Geraldine Boles (piano), and Andrew Hellwig Saxes (clarinet and flute). He’s even been known on occasion to rope in his daughter Caroline, who is also classically trained by the New England Conservatory, to teach music. His most recent hire, Paul Matthias P’28 (woodworking) came about because the two men play together. Matthias is an accomplished trombonist.

Scharr scouts and cultivates talent, not only for his department but also for engaging and relevant visiting performers and community speakers. He has brought the likes of Sons of Serendip, the Canadian Brass, Livingston Taylor, Jung-Ho Pak, Hyannis Sound, and most recently, Grammy winner Paul Winter and Henrique Eisenmann to Falmouth Academy.

But at the center of it all are his students. There is seemingly no limit to the lengths Mr. Scharr will go to support them in their pursuit of music, whether that is orchestrating performance opportunities such as Music in the Mountains or Pops by the Sea; preparing and transporting them to auditions all around Massachusetts; or hosting interested students to jam together the week before school starts, much like pre-season sports.

Former student James Goldbach ’21 summed it up, by saying, “Mr. Scharr was my music teacher for four years, and my friend and mentor for just as many. His unconditional support and funloving teaching style combined with his ability to hold students accountable without being overbearing or discouraging make him a teacher like no other. Never was I as happy as when the jazz band finally pulled together a song in one of our last practices before a show, and Mr. Scharr’s face lit up. I will be forever thankful for his generous dispensing of musical knowledge, and his constant kindness.”

Susan Moffat

Susan Moffat has taught photography at Falmouth Academy since 1996 and still finds joy in it every day. She started the year off by bringing her students outside to join her inside a refrigerator box cum camera obscura to introduce them to how light travels through space. “Photography is essentially about playing with and controlling light,” explained Moffat. This lesson is quintessentially her as she is an experiential learner, teacher, and professional photographer.

Moffat describes herself as a visual storyteller and educator, who is “drawn to humanity and the social struggles therein.” Her most recent work, Chasing Coal, explores the post-economic decline of the coal industry in NE Pennsylvania, home to the largest known anthracite coal bed in the world. Moffat was born in Moscow, PA, and her grandfather ran Moffat Coal Company. Her portfolio was recently accepted for review by the Social Documentary Network and she worked with Amber Bracken, the 2022 World Press Photo of the Year award recipient.

As the child of a professor who taught overseas in both Greece and Iceland, her family traveled extensively, which informed Moffat’s worldview and interest in how people inhabit the Earth. She later earned a BA in both photography and environmental science at Hartwick College and then an MAT from Rhode Island School of Design.

Moffat believes traveling to be one of the best ways to expand a person’s cultural proficiency so that they can become stronger global stewards and citizens. To that end, she has traveled extensively in the US; taught and worked overseas in Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Chiapas, Mexico; and organized international student trips through Falmouth Academy to Cuba, Belize, and Thailand. Knowing that such grand trips are not always possible, Moffat takes full advantage of trips to local landmarks and digital resources to introduce students to “a new way of seeing the world,” which, she says, is what she loves about teaching.

Lucy Nelson

Lucy Nelson earned a BFA at Denison University and an MFA in painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She was the art department fellow in college and a finalist for the Dedalus Prize and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant in graduate school. “Nowadays, I juggle balancing my painting practice and full-time teaching with being a good mom,” explained Nelson. On the best days, she gets up at 4:00 AM to work for a couple of hours before the rest of the house wakes up. Those quiet hours are precious and essential to her identity and practice as an artist. When Covid shut down the world, Nelson recalls that her painting practice contracted, “I felt my work shrink to fit the smallness of my daily life.” Hesitant to leave the house, she turned to her family and home for inspiration. “I loved the repetition and insanely small details of the patterns I incorporated into the figures and portraits,” said Nelson. “It became a meditative practice for me.”

Nelson’s current work investigates the social construct of domesticity and her sense of dislocation within that construct through portraiture and pattern. Through her exploration of tradition as both an imposition and as something to be embraced free from expectations, she weaves a tapestry of contemporary domestic life that alludes to both its dark and benign aspects.

As a teacher, Nelson strives to share the passion she feels for painting and creating. “I hope it inspires my students to see that I am a practicing artist and show my work around the country.” This past year she had a show with Cube Art in Boston, Frosch & Co in New York, and Cove Street Arts in Portland, ME. The struggles students face in the studio, she says, she’s faced too.

Since coming to Falmouth Academy, Nelson has continued to innovate and expand the fine arts program. She established the drawing elective and teaches all levels of painting. When her schedule allows, she also adds special interest offerings such as screenprinting. Nelson has also expanded Falmouth Academy’s Arts Across the Curriculum program, which was originally called Arts in Humanities, to include all five academic disciplines taught by three art faculty.

Seth Rainville

Seth Rainville’s aspirations of playing football for Boston College were cut short by a career-ending injury only a few games into his senior year of high school. While rehabbing in a full leg brace for what seemed like an eternity, he shifted his energies toward his love of art. He landed at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth with designs of becoming the next great painter. Little did he know that when faced with signing up for his first free elective, an introductory ceramics class, he would meet the professor that would change the trajectory of his career. Rainville recalls Chris Gustin looking at some of the drawings in his sketchbook and saying, “You do realize that clay is just a 3-dimensional canvas.” And that’s all it took for Rainville to change his major to Ceramics.

After receiving a BFA with honors, Rainville set his sights on graduate school, but while establishing residency in Phoenix, he was offered a teaching position at the Phoenix Center for the Arts. By the age of 27, he was the head of the department and sat on the Artist Advisory Board for the newly founded Ceramics Research Center in Tempe.

Rainville returned home to manage the ceramics studio at UMass Dartmouth, and then went on to found the NAVIO Artisans Collective in New Bedford, serve as curator of the New Bedford Art Museum, while continuing to exhibit his own work around the country including at the Ferrin Gallery in Lennox and the SOFA exhibition in Chicago. In 2014, he accepted a position teaching at the Falmouth Art Center, and in 2016, was awarded an artist residency at Harvard University.

In addition to considering its form and structure, Rainville invites his students to see the clay as a canvas and to bring a painter’s sensibility to their finish work. He also thinks outside of the box with regard to the possibilities of working with clay— considering not only hand-held structures but architectural ones—a perspective that will serve him well as the new 3-D lab elective teacher. This year, Rainville plans to install an outdoor totem-like sculpture on the school grounds that was collaboratively created by his students last year. It seems like Rainville is already leaving his mark on Falmouth Academy.

Liz Ledwell

Liz Ledwell was hired in 1992 to direct FA’s drama program and teach English. She brought to the task a wealth of experience as an actress, director, and talent scout, as well as a degree in drama with a minor in film from the University of Southern California and one in literature from American University.

She and Clyde Tyndale, director of stagecraft, worked strategically to build a repertory company where all students involved learn the skills needed—both onstage and backstage—to successfully put on classic and contemporary productions. To date, she’s directed over 100 productions. Guided by their artistic vision, the Simon Center for the Arts black-box theater was realized and completed in 2017 through the generous support of donors. A ’70s-themed As You Like It was the first play held in the space in spring 2019.

In addition to teaching English and directing, Ledwell is the creative force behind the drama electives. Over the years these have included acting, play reading and analysis, Shakespeare, musical theater, improvisation, film analysis, screenwriting, and video production. These last two came in handy during the pandemic when Ledwell needed to design course content that would work well remotely. Together she and her students wrote and filmed The Circle Dance, which she edited with the help of Charlie Jodoin, who took over from Tyndale in 2019. It premiered red-carpet style in an open-air screening on the lawn at Falmouth Academy, in spring 2021.

Ledwell’s approach to extracurricular drama productions is inclusive, and she aims not just to direct a great production but to expose her students to this history and breadth of theater. “I like to think of myself as a creative problem solver,” said Ledwell, “who works in collaboration with the students to make our shows successful.” To that end, she is discerning in choosing just the right play that suits the interest level of the students and often adapts them so that everyone who wants a part, gets one. She is known to say, “there are no small roles, only small actors.”

Charlie Jodoin

“Theater has long been my passion!” declared Jodoin. “From my very first role as Charlie Brown back in middle school in A Charlie Brown Christmas, I discovered the power of theater.” This rings true, as Jodoin brings a theatrical air and great enthusiasm to whatever he is doing. Over the years, he’s been an avid consumer and supporter of the arts as well as an actor, director, set and lighting designer, technical consultant, stage manager— and he’s probably written a script or two. While not always his main profession, he’s always found a way to stay involved in theater.

Falmouth Academy afforded Jodoin an opportunity to marry his skill, passion, and position as the Director of Stagecraft. “Once I made the decision to move out of public school administration, which I did for nearly a decade, the opportunity came my way and I’ve never been happier.”

In addition to his work at Falmouth Academy, Jodoin is the resident lighting designer for the Priscilla Beach Theatre in Plymouth, MA, which is the oldest barn theater in the US. Previously, he was technical and production manager for the College Light Opera Company in Falmouth, the technical and stage director for Hull Public Middle and High School, and the founding director of Fall River’s Middle School Theater Program. In 2010, he was awarded a gold medal from the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild Middle School Festival for directing and designing the middle-school production of Jane Eyre. This winter, Jodoin will be bringing Jane Eyre to Falmouth Academy, as he takes over as director of the middle-school play.

Maggie Bossi

Hiring Margaret Bossi as Falmouth Academy’s Chorus Director in 2021 was quite a coup for the music department. She directed the Chatham Chorale for 25 years, retiring in 2008, and has served as the Conductor of the Woods Hole Cantata Consort since 2018. Bossi is currently the Director of Music (chancel choir, bell choir, and organist) at Dennis Union Church. She brings over 50 years of teaching experience to Falmouth Academy, going back to her first appointment at the Winsor School for Girls in 1971.

Norma Stiner

Norma Stiner picked up the violin in the 4th grade, and never put it down. She earned a degree in music education from Boston Conservatory, and has built her career around performing and teaching. Although most of her professional experience has been playing orchestral and chamber music throughout New England, Stiner also played back up to some notable stars in their day, including Liberace, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, and Johnny Mathis, to name a few. Stiner still plays with the Cape Symphony. Her educational philosophy is deceptively simple—start with the student and follow with the subject.

Boys Varsity Lacrosse

The boys varsity lacrosse team finished the season with an overall record of 9-8. They were the first boys lacrosse team in school history to qualify for the MIAA tournament where they won their opening round game over McCann Technical School before losing to eventual state finalist, Sandwich. The season included two victories over Sturgis as well as wins over Bishop Stang and Monomoy. Senior tri-captains Cody Feldott, Jack DiFalco-Wheeler, and Jack Butler were outstanding leaders while also setting a high standard with their play on the field. All three were named to the all-league team for the Cape and Islands Lighthouse Division, while defender Christian Hanoian ’24 received an honorable mention.

There were many remarkable individual accomplishments to note. Cody Feldott ’22 broke the school record for goals in a season, finishing with 78 goals and 20 assists. Jack Butler ’22 also broke the previous goals record and is now in second place behind Feldott with 72 goals scored on the season. Jack DiFalcoWheeler ’22 proved himself to be the best face-off player in school history, winning 75% of his faceoffs on the season while scoring 10 goals and assisting on 21 others. Hanoian had an outstanding season on defense, covering the opponents’ best offensive players and quarterbacking the defense. He led the team in takeaways with 69, despite missing some games due to injury.

Tennis

Falmouth Academy’s tennis club met four days a week at TJO Sports to develop their skills and play intramural matches on the three indoor courts. Thirty-seven students (20 middle schoolers and 17 upper schoolers) walked up the short path through the woods every afternoon to work on their forehands, backhands, volleys, and serves. Several players also had the opportunity to travel to CCA for an inter-squad match, which resulted in a strong showing for the Mariners. Ben Gulmann ’23 noted, “Tennis club was a great opportunity for players of all levels to unwind while learning the game.” Ezra Ackerman ’26 shared, “I definitely learned more about the game.” Josh McGuire ’26 added, “It wasn’t just about playing tennis, it was a community. I’m glad I chose to play this year.”

“With so many interested players, and so many hours spent on the court this spring, there’s little doubt that Falmouth Academy is poised to make the leap to more competitive matches next year,” said Coach Ben Parsons.

Sailing

In the spring, Tasha Sudofsky ’22, Soren Peterson ’22, and Gus McGuire ’24 sailed with the Falmouth High School Sailing team, which is a member of the New England Schools Sailing Association (NESSA), a division of the Inter-Scholastic Sailing Association (ISSA). The Yachtsmen sailed out of Quissett Harbor, and the team finished the season by competing in the Cape and Island League Fleet Championship, which was held in Hyannis on March 25th.

Fourteen schools competed in the championship race, and teams were assigned to either the A or B squad for a total of six races each. Gus McGuire ’24 was in squad A and Tasha Sudofsky ’22 and Soren Peterson ’22 were in B squad. Overall the Yachtsmen, with the help of three Falmouth Academy sailors, ranked 6th, but the B squad came in 3rd place overall.

Shachoy Elected Trustee Emerita

The Board bid a fond farewell to dedicated member Laura Ryan Shachoy, who stepped down in June after 13 years of service. A parent of three FA alumni, Laura served in a variety of leadership roles during her tenure. In recent years she chaired the board’s Committee on Trustees, where, among many initiatives, she

led the effort to update the bylaws. She was also a board representative on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council. In recent years she chaired the head of school search that brought us Matt Green, and served as a member of Falmouth Academy’s Campaign Committee. She is currently serving on a new Campaign Design Study Committee. Laura’s enthusiasm for Falmouth Academy is contagious.

We have tried to make this report as complete and accurate as possible as of June 30, 2022. We appreciate your sharing with us any errors or omissions.

Thank you.

Dear Friends of Falmouth Academy,

This past year saw a return to near-normal activity at Falmouth Academy: students gathered in person daily for all-school meeting, ventured to Marconi Beach for our annual sand sculpture competition, participated in all four sports, attended Gala and Prom, and more. Parents gathered for potlucks in Hutker Yard and celebrated together with community friends at our annual—and record-breaking—Auction, held on the front lawn in a tent on a chilly May evening.

2022-23 also saw great momentum in terms of fundraising in a non-campaign year. The Fund for Falmouth Academy raised more than $512,000 in unrestricted funds—a 28% increase over FY2021—from the 551 parents, alumni, faculty, trustees, and friends listed in this report. We also received over $300,000 in restricted funding from foundations and friends of the school to support tuition assistance, the Falmouth Academy endowment, and the establishment of a professional archives for storing and cataloging Falmouth Academy history and memorabilia.

The ongoing, generous support from our community signals that the time may be right to embark on a major new fundraising initiative designed to support the priorities outlined in the school’s FA Forward strategic plan. During this past summer, 352 individuals were interviewed or participated in a survey designed to gauge interest in key priorities including support for faculty recruitment and retention, tuition assistance and diversity initiatives, and facility enhancements to complement important programmatic and curricular priorities. As we write this letter, work is nearing completion on a Campaign Design Study report from our consultants at CCS Fundraising that will help guide the Board of Trustees as they consider whether to launch a bold new fundraising campaign.

We continue to be humbled by the generous, far-sighted support of our community. Your ongoing investment in our school is vitally important and your participation in a future campaign will be key to positioning our school and students for success as we approach Falmouth Academy’s 50th anniversary in 2027. Thank you for your commitment to, and belief in, the value of a Falmouth Academy education.

Sincerely,

John Heyl

The Josiah K. Lilly III Society | A Legacy of Support

In 1987 philanthropist Josiah K. Lilly III donated 34 acres of Beebe Woods so that Falmouth Academy could build a permanent campus. The Josiah K. Lilly III Society recognizes that transformational gift and honors those who have made bequests, included Falmouth Academy in their estate plans, or made deferred gifts to benefit the school into the future. (Italics indicate bequests realized.)
