CELIA NOWLIN ’19 MUSIC THERAPY

If you saw her on the news for receiving the Texas Woman’s University Chancellor’s Endowed Scholarship, you will definitely remember the humility and gratitude with which she accepted the award from the TWU Chancellor, Dr. Carine Feyton. The Chancellor noted Celia’s scholarship in the classroom – a high SAT score, high GPA and consistent high honors on the National Latin Exam – but focused more on the way Celia has combined her passion for music with her academic prowess to make a difference in seemingly subtle ways.

Through her year-long Junior Honors Thesis development, Celia began researching the connection between interactive, parent-child music therapy and decreased anxiety in hospitalized children. After witnessing the emotional benefits for both the hospitalized child and the child’s parent(s), Celia gave life to a concept that she would develop in her Senior Capstone Project: An on-demand hospital television network that provides instructional techniques for parent-child interactive music therapy. This bridges the gap between one-on-one sessions with the licensed therapist, whose schedules are growing more and more demanding.

To get her program off and running, Celia partnered with a licensed music therapist at Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, Shea Ingram (pictured, right), and Cook’s networking team to design and film professional and effective instructional videos that will be readily accessible for all patients on the television sets in their rooms.

Celia is the embodiment of exhibiting a lifestyle of leadership. In addition to making strategic community connections, she has also been forming similar connections on campus. As the Prefect of the Fine Arts, she worked with Andy ’19 and Jack ’19 Zukoski to pioneer the Saints Music Project, which links service-based activities with artists at All Saints’, and is the first student extension of the Texas Music Project. Celia is a member of the Tad Bird Honors College, a Student Ambassador, a winner of a Betty Lynn Buckley Award for Best Supporting Actress, a classically-trained pianist, and a winner of vocal state gold medals from the Texas Private School Music Educators Association (TPSMEA).

Celia will attend Texas Woman’s University in the fall and major in Music Therapy.

“I hope to always lead by example and to remain driven by my passions to make discoveries and changes that will positively impact my community.”

HARRISON ALEXANDER ’19 PRE-DENTAL

Overcoming a cleft lip has built Harrison into a brave, compassionate person. Countless consultations and procedures led to the most recent surgery which has allowed him to breathe easier by adjusting his bone structure. This has spurred him to empathize and help heal those with similar experiences as he’s faced.

Step One: Empathy. For two years, Harrison has brought the Created for Compassion project to All Saints’ by encouraging Middle School students to bring a teddy bear to donate. He partnered with Dr. John Kelley, DDS, to teach students about craniofacial differences and help them sew “cleft lips” on their bears. The bears were given to Cook Children’s Hospital and Samaritan’s Purse to comfort patients following their facial surgeries.

Additionally, Harrison has shadowed his childhood dentists, Dr. Janell Plocheck and Dr. Nathan West from Fort Worth Pediatric Dentistry, to learn about the basics of dentistry and patient care.

Step Two: Healing. Harrison will attend the University of Mississippi in the fall and plans to attend dental school. He also hopes to volunteer as an international student ambassador for Operation Smile while in college.

Harrison attended Operation Smile’s 27th Annual International Student Leadership Conference in Seattle last year, and has used his “free” time to letter in Golf, participate in the All Saints’ Drumline, and serve as the principal percussionist in the Fort Worth Youth Orchestra Philharmonic for four years.

“Who better than me to empathize with children going through a similar experience? I am eager to share my journey with others so that someday it may help them along their own journeys.”

PRE-MEDICINE + CULTURAL STUDIES To find a sense of belonging, Jaelan challenged herself to try new things, and she soon found that those experiences also led to a resilience and humility that have helped her better understand who she is and what she wants for her future.

Jaelan enrolled at All Saints’ her freshman year and pushed the boundaries of her comfort zone as she sought ways to get involved in a school that felt drastically different than her hometown neighborhood of Como. With a passion to give back directly to those in her neighborhood, Jaelan has served as a consistent tutor at Rivertree Academy where alumna Emily Ryan ’05 Williams serves as Principal. It was here she realized the need for advocates who could communicate well and empathize with both Black and Hispanic students, and it was here she decided that she could align her fascination with science to her personal cultural experiences with the purpose of providing low income communities with access to high-quality and empathetic healthcare.

Within the walls of All Saints’, Jaelan has also left a legacy of leadership through serving as the Head Prefect (Student Council President), a Varsity Cheerleader, President of the Challenge Success Club where

she advocated for student wellness, and in the cast of four musicals and five plays.

Jaelan will attend Elon University in the fall and has been invited to the Odyssey Program, which is a highly-selective scholars program for students who exhibit academic strength, civic engagement, and a passion for being a change agent in their community.

“I look forward to joining a community with a commitment to diverse perspectives, where I can be challenged and contribute my unique experience to the wellbeing of the entire community.”

PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY BLUE ZONES What started as a student’s Senior Capstone Project propelled the School’s commitment to wellness on to the national stage, earning All Saints’ recognition as a Blue Zones Project Approved™ School in 2018 – the first PK-12 school in the country to receive this designation. All Saints’ continues to

partner with Blue Zones Project® Fort Worth to implement evidence-based strategies to help children grow up to be healthy, productive members of society.

Our roots with the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) go back to 1998 when the current All Saints’ campus was purchased. BRIT conducted a biodiversity study on the then undeveloped property and identified the location for our RANGE program and native prairie preserve.

Recently, BRIT has assisted with a biodiversity study on the remaining 44 undeveloped acres, and summer interns are assisting with the remediation of the prairie.

BRIT

In 2017, BRIT launched an annual Emerging Artists gallery show, and chose All Saints’ for their first-ever student art exhibit. The exhibit was open to the public and displayed a collection of artistic works from 78 All Saints’ artists comprised of current students (Age 3 - Grade 12), alumni and faculty. All Saints’ will partner with BRIT for another gallery show in December.

In 2018, our Early Childhood program started implementing curriculum from BRIT’s Early Childhood Impact Series, focused on STEM learning specifically for young students by exploring in nature and connecting literacy with science learning.

CHALLENGE SUCCESS All Saints’ began partnering with Stanford University’s Challenge Success in 2012 after a faculty member identified the program as an opportunity to explore a different way of thinking about education, one that challenges society’s narrow definition of success as based on grades, athletic performance, awards, and test scores. Over the past several years, Challenge Success worked with All Saints’ faculty,

parents and students to increase academic engagement and well-being for students through evaluation and enhancement of student schedules, curricular design, meaningful assessment, school climate and community education. This is only the beginning of an ongoing and iterative journey toward achieving student success without sacrificing student wellness.

ONGOING ALL SAINTS’ PARTNERSHIPS:

Strong partnerships build the relationships, shared understanding and collective focus that are essential to make lasting progress.
