Mission All Saints’ Episcopal School of Fort Worth promotes academic excellence in a nurturing, Christian environment and upholds the Anglican tradition of worship.

Outcome Statement A graduate of All Saints’ Episcopal School will exercise genius within through developing a relationship with God, by engaging the world, and by serving others.

All Saints’ Episcopal School of Fort Worth administers its personnel, academic, extracurricular and tuition assistance programs without regard to gender, race, religion, ethnicity or national origin.

From Tad’s Desk I took a cross country jaunt with my dog this summer.

We drove the highways and byways, camped alongside fellow travelers, and saw folks from every stripe and color of life. People were out and about and trying to reconnect with their country, with each other and in a variety of communities. Sadly, I saw many small businesses shuttered; yet with hope, I found others trying to sustain and others seeking new growth. The surreal and relentless elements of COVID remain but people are trying to regroup and find semblances of order, peace and reconnection. So am I, and I imagine the same is true for you.

As we seek to reconnect and find ways to elevate and improve, I ask you consider what Peter Bregman notes in his article, If you want to get better at something, ask yourself these two questions. They are, 1) Do you really want to do better? and 2) Are you willing to feel the discomfort of trying new things that won’t work right away? You need to honestly answer ‘yes’ to both of these. (Harvard Business Review, November 9, 2018) While I do not promise to have all the answers, I will share my continued promise regarding how we face this discomfort at All Saints’. Our method of celebrating community and educating children will remain steadfast to the bedrock principles which have brought us to this day: We recognize God is at the center; we embrace a dynamic but complementary tension between faith and reason; we strive for excellence in all we do; we strive to seek Christ in all persons, valuing the dignity and worth of each person.

sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.”

Romans 12:3-6 Exercising genius within means using gifts that differ according to the grace given to us. Part of being a member of this community means we recognize the variety of gifts in our midst and give thanks. Over the years, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends have contributed their observations on this topic – what it means to be a Saint – and a few of these are offered here.

As you read through this edition of Innovate, you will see images and hear stories about the tiny miracles which unfold each day on our campus and throughout the communities our Saints serve. Note the broader application of our Portrait of a Saint, the achievements and resiliency of the Class of 2021, the creativity of the Phelan Award winner, the ever-expanding resourceful use of our campus to enhance teaching and learning (Exploratorium Courtyard space), and silver linings—things we learned from our COVID year+.

I invite you to learn more and look forward to a fulfilling 2021.

Blessings, This is good news. This is our Episcopal identity. This is who we are as a community. This remains unchanged.

The Apostle Paul is moved to share, “For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with

FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE

By Meg Hasten, Director of Communications and Marketing

A year like we have just undergone is one that reminds us of what we value most and where we still need to grow. Our academic team has been working hard the last two years developing a values-based rubric for our students that focuses on mastery; we believe students are best prepared for life when they leave, not just with good grades but as people of character. The development of these values will be fully integrated into all facets of school life: Classroom management, academic goals, faculty growth and evaluation, social-emotional curriculum, Chapel talks and even service learning.

It will also be woven into community expectations. Faculty, staff, board, volunteers and parents: We are all responsible for modeling what we expect from these young people, which is why we elevated this template from Portrait of a Graduate to Portrait of a Saint.

EACH MONTH, THE ENTIRE CAMPUS WILL FOCUS ON ONE SKILL FROM THE PORTRAIT. SEPTEMBER

starts wit h you

Our families make sacrifices to provide an All Saints’ education for their children. Tuition is a heavy lift, and we don’t take that for granted. Unfortunately, tuition alone doesn’t cover all the costs to run our School. We rely on an annual giving program, like other independent schools do, to cover the rest. Ours is called the All Saints’ Fund. And we are calling on you for your support.

Snap this for a feel-good.

The All Saints’ Fund sustains the essentials of the All Saints’ Episcopal School education model, one that inspires our students to be the best versions of themselves so they can transform the world.

FROM STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT TO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT 16 | INNOVATE Fall 2021

By William A. Knight ’04, Alumni Board President Assistant Chief Prosecutor, Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office

As a Lifetime Saint and former Student Body President, it has been a unique privilege to serve on the Alumni Association Board for the past six years. It is exciting to see how much the School and the Alumni Association have grown during this time.

When I arrived at SMU in 2004, it was the second time in my life I had been to a new school – the first time was in 1988. I was a member of the last four-year-old class to graduate from the basement of All Saints’ Church, so our School holds a special place in my heart.

I recently attended All Saints’ Commencement, complete with fireworks, and it was obvious to anyone there that our School has dramatically increased in every way over a short period of time. God’s goodness was on display all around us. The backdrop for the ceremony was the Chapel, which was lit up in All Saints’ blue; the perfect match to the beautiful blue sky on an unusually cool May evening.

I could not help but think about how I was seeing the dream our leaders spoke about when I was at All Saints’. My mom, Marion Knight, was secretary of the All Saints’ Board of Trustees when the Normandale campus was purchased – she was even the one who signed the check. I remember her excitement about how All Saints’ was changing for the better in a “big way.” As students, we all listened with anticipation about how our School would be “one day.” As I watched our newest alumni throw their caps in the air and fireworks lighting the night sky behind them, it suddenly hit me that I was witnessing “one day.” As if any of us needed further proof that God’s everlasting favor rests on this special place, there it was.

Fall 2021

INNOVATE | 17

Although my own 2004 Commencement ceremony did not include a fireworks show, I was amazed at how I still felt a deep connection to the School on a campus where I only spent one year. This was due in part to all of the familiar faces and, perhaps to a larger degree, the familiar names. Although Dr. B [Basden] went to be with the Lord years ago, I was comforted to hear several students, including the Commencement speaker, discuss the impact Dr. B. and others (they also mentioned names like Fanning, Crossley and Braun) had on their lives. Dr. B. was my first mentor outside of my own family and I credit her with my ability to type this message to you.

I think about her every time I sit down to write out a speech or to give a closing argument. As the Assistant Chief Prosecutor of the Intimate Partner Violence Unit at the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office, I use the skills I learned at All Saints’ every day. There are too many teachers to credit in this short message, which is indicative of the special nature of our School.

Even though the campus has changed, listening to the Commencement speakers made it obvious that the caring nature of the people at All Saints’ has not.

I also greatly enjoyed watching the current Student Body President deliver a speech in which the school

18 | INNOVATE Fall 2021

Bible was handed to the incoming President – this was a new tradition when I was at All Saints’. I remembered getting a laugh out of the crowd when I told then incoming President, Justin Light ’05, that it was appropriate for the presidents to hand down a Bible because the only person who could help you in this job is Jesus Christ. After the 2021 Commencement, I ran down the person holding the school Bible and asked if I could flip the cover open.

Sure enough, there was my signature that I put there on May 21, 2004 – 17 years earlier.

I share these thoughts with you because it is my hope that every All Saints’ Alumni Association member feels the same deep connection to our School that I do.

All Saints’ is not just a school to me, it’s home.

I am excited to serve as your Alumni Association President for the upcoming term and ask that you please let me know if there is anything our Board can do to help you personally or professionally. I want to thank former Alumni Association President, Bailey McGuire ’03, for doing such a phenomenal job during an exceptionally difficult year. We look forward to the great things you will accomplish on the All Saints’ Board of Trustees. I also want to thank Adair Ewin

Shannon ’09 who stepped down as Manager of Alumni Relations to embark on a new career in the medical field at her father’s practice. Adair was excellent at her job in every way and we are grateful that she will continue to serve our School as Secretary of the Alumni Association.

As we continue the momentum and progress we’ve gained, I am excited to announce our new Manager of Alumni Relations, Sofi Garza Boschini ’12.

Sofi is a graduate of All Saints’ and has been an active member of the Alumni Association since she graduated in 2012. She is returning to All Saints’ from JLL Capital Markets, where she worked on the Corporate Finance team. Sofi brings a lot of passion and a strong work ethic to this role, and I have no doubt that she will pick up right where Adair left off, continuing to strengthen and grow our Alumni Association.

In closing, I am sure you share in my sadness at the passing of two of the greats, Susan Doyle and Kent Henning. They are irreplaceable pillars of our community who were beloved by multiple generations of students and faculty. I challenge everyone in our community to live up to the standard they set, not just as Christians but as Saints, as we strive to diligently perform the Lord’s work until He calls us home.

Fourth Grade small group session on the Union patio

THE AUTHOR OF ECCLESIASTES REMINDED US THAT THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. I DON’T DARE QUESTION THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON BUT GIVEN THE LAST 15 MONTHS, I CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER IF WE’VE FINALLY PROVEN HIM WRONG. Here at All Saints’, and around the country, teaching in the middle of a pandemic certainly felt very new indeed. Despite the many challenges of the 20202021 academic year, we discovered that there were several silver linings, bright spots and changes or adaptations that we will keep as we move forward.

In true All Saints’ fashion, we have all learned from this experience and will use it to continue to improve and grow.

If you had walked through the hallways of the Upper School last year, you would have seen a classroom with about half of the students present and the other half projected on the wall via video call. The teachers were adept at technology, using iPads to project the classroom to those who were attending virtually.

The biggest challenge facing our faculty was how to create a hybrid classroom where all students felt engaged and part of the experience. True to their innovator spirit, our teachers embraced technology like Screencastify, Kami, Nearpod and a variety of other tools to break down the digital divide and engage students, no matter their location. Faculty shared with each other what worked, what didn’t,

34 | INNOVATE Fall 2021

what they were trying next and collaborated in new and exciting ways to enhance the student experience.

Faculty report that the adjustment to the structure of the classroom forced them to take a close look at their content and really focus on what were the most important and relevant items for students to learn.

In having to recreate lesson plans, the assignments, topics and activities that they had “always done” were pruned away to ensure the concentration was on what really mattered for their subject with a heightened emphasis on mastery of learning. The faculty also shared that many of the digital tools they used allowed for quicker feedback, which inturn enhanced mastery.

Another silver lining that the faculty identified was an increase in student agency, learning through activities that are meaningful and relevant to learners, driven by their interests, and often selfinitiated with appropriate guidance from teachers.

Student agency gives students voice and choice in how they learn and are assessed. We know that student choice increases motivation, which increases

learning. The fluidity of on-campus learning and virtual learning meant that not everyone had access to the same resources all the time. It was no longer feasible for everyone to take a scantron test or create the same poster board. As such, faculty allowed students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways. Students were endlessly creative in the way they shared their knowledge and learning; from songs to videos, to art projects and essays, and yes, even the good old fashioned scantron test, our Saints showed tremendous variety in demonstrating their learning and increased agency.

While our faculty have always had a strong focus on developing the whole child, they indicate that this year allowed them to become more fluent at weaving non-curricular items into their coursework. This took many forms including digital skills, technology support and even appropriate use of technology. It also included social-emotional learning, whether it be through Advisory and morning meeting curriculum or simple classroom discussions about the difficulties facing our community and world during the pandemic. Our expert teachers brought a fresh intentionality in developing the skills articulated in our Portrait of a Saint: Being guided by integrity, creative problem solvers, valuable collaborators, effective communicators, faithful community members, empathetic global citizens, and committed to personal growth.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we all feel a fresh appreciation for this special community.

Being unexpectedly forced apart made us realize how much we enjoy being together.

Seeing each other in the Union, at a sporting event, during drop-off and pick-up, and everywhere in between is a special part of our daily rhythms that we will no longer take for granted. COVID did force us to rethink some events, though. For example, in Early Childhood and Lower School, the traditional ‘Meet the Teacher’ day has always been a fun (and a tad crazy) reunion. This year, we had to pivot by scheduling individual meetings and we discovered that it allowed each child and family the opportunity to connect with their teachers and share their hopes and fears for the year ahead. It allowed each child to be known individually and led to more authentic relationships, which feels right and true for our community. So, while we cannot wait for the big group reunions and celebrations, we have learned to make space for individual connection as well.

Now that I think about it, I guess Solomon was right after all; there really is nothing new under the sun.

Just amazing, hard-working teachers striving daily to know, challenge, and support their students by doing whatever it takes. That is certainly nothing new under the All Saints’ sun.

TAKING LEARNING OUTSIDE 38 | INNOVATE Fall 2021

By Ann-Marie McCollough, Lower School STEAM and Project-Based Learning Coordinator

What if I told you that there is one scientifically proven way to help your child build confidence, develop creativity and imagination, learn responsibility, enhance sensory stimulation, increase physical activity, stimulate curiosity and reduce stress and fatigue? The solution is simple: Give your child access to the outdoors. The research to support this conclusion is abundant. From the American Pediatrics Association to institutions such as Harvard, Johns Hopkins and the National Association of Child Development, studies have shown the benefits of both structured and unstructured time outdoors are tremendous.

Our unique and faceted outdoor areas were a critical factor to the success of Lower School remaining open in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020-2021 school year. The need for individual cohorts of classes to remain socially distanced had teachers and administrators thinking creatively about where and how spaces could be used. Although the RANGE is a fantastic outdoor classroom, Lower School teachers needed close, convenient options for getting students up out of their desks with a chance to take off their masks.

At any given time, you could find a class of kindergartners playing on the playground structure and another on the field. Two third grade classes could be splitting the Great Lawn, while a couple of fifth grade classes could be found on the basketball court and in the St. Francis Courtyard, while yet another group was exploring the Butterfly Garden! We found teachers extending the desire to be outside to instructional activities such as reading stories in the shade of a tree, conducting experiments on the playground and bringing their math lesson to the tables outside of the Union. More and more our teachers and 440 students were not only playing outdoors, but learning outdoors as well!

“I love getting outside during the school day,” said Annie Heinzelmann, Fourth Grade Faculty. “Especially last year during the pandemic, it was like a breath of fresh air...LITERALLY! There is always a way to relate being outdoors to the curriculum if needed. One of our favorite outdoor lessons was identifying lines of symmetry in the design of the Chapel building. The kids LOVED it and truly needed to step away from their desks.”

Landscape and hardscape design for the Expolartorium Courtyard

CREATING SPACE FOR MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES As the Lower School STEAM and Project-Based Learning Coordinator, it is my job to help teachers make learning as hands-on as possible. I believe nature and access to the outdoors is a critical factor to meeting that goal. Dr. Bird’s foresight to include a door when we were designing the Exploratorium created the opening to help teachers think “outside of the box” of the four walls of their classrooms. Instruction literally had a path through the Exploratorium door to the outdoors. With the two spaces that flank the entrance of the Lower School, we have distinct possibilities to transform our entrance into beautiful learning spaces to be shared across grade levels and among Divisions.

40 | INNOVATE Fall 2021

Since launching, we have wandered throughout the outdoor space on the Exploratorium side and marveled at the possibilities for how it could best be utilized. In the spring of 2019, Tad Bird Honors College Capstone students were invited to participate in a design thinking challenge to help us envision those possibilities.

The presentations were thoughtful and wellresearched, and the seniors were hopeful to leave behind a legacy for Lower School students. With their input, we have created a design that will allow for focused experiences and open-ended exploration.

Flagstone paths invite curious minds and tiny feet to explore. It is easy to imagine kids stretched out on our tree circle benches sketching, scrambling over boulders and the natural log, investigating sound with our musical fences (a gift provided by the PTO), and having an up close look at that roly poly they found with our magnifying station. Our chicken coop is an understated, clean design that blends in rather than stands out, designed and soonto-be built by parent Alan Garcia (Emily ’29, Megan ’29, Sam ’32 and Andrew ’35). The coop is an extension of the beloved First Grade experience of hatching chicks each spring and will be an opportunity for this project to potentially expand into our 4H Program. On sunny days, a line of easels can be set up on the sidewalk where students will be unafraid to make a mess as they paint their masterpieces.

My brain imagines a secret garden with plants and foliage that will inspire curiosity and care for our natural world.

Second graders in the Butterfly Garden

Inspiration for the green space on the other side of the entrance came from witnessing a class of second graders in a giant circle taking turns standing up and reading their very own writing aloud for their peers. After each child finished reading, classmates would clap and praise the author’s hard work. The discussions that followed involved students speaking up about the strong points of the writing and giving advice on how to make the piece even better.

This was clearly a more formal instructional opportunity and inspired a design that would highlight the work of teachers and students.

Hence the journal circle idea was born, and it will be designed and built by parent Jay Hasten (Davisson ’30, Sam ’33 and Tucker ‘36).

CHILDREN CAN’T BOUNCE OFF THE WALLS IF THERE ARE NONE Upon completion, I see kindergartners circled together listening to a story, third graders reading aloud their own writing, sixth graders presenting a project and juniors engaged in a seminar discussion. The journal circle will be surrounded with simple but elegant plants to soften the space. Over time, the journal circle can become a place for crucial conversations, in-depth discussions and important presentations.

The lessons learned from last year are countless. It is possible, though, that the most valuable thing is how we learned to step outside and take a moment. It is exciting to capitalize on this lesson as we look forward to this year unfolding and the completion of our outdoor learning spaces.

THE PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD

Landry Milliken ’25 and Estella Turner ’22 earned The President’s Volunteer Service Award for volunteering over 100+ hours with more than 20 different Fort Worth charity organizations in 2021. These Saints found a way to make an immeasurable contribution to our community during a pandemic, all while balancing their academic course loads, sports teams and social obligations. This prestigious award honors individuals in recognition and appreciation of their commitment to strengthen our nation and communities through volunteer services.

ADVANCING SOLAR

President’s Volunteer Service Award

The All Saints’ Solar Car Team placed fifth in the Advanced Division of the National Solar Car Challenge race at Texas Motor Speedway this summer. The Advanced Division allowed the team to use Lithium-Ion batteries, hub motors and more efficient solar panels, resulting in a very different car than in previous years and the team’s biggest fiberglass project to date! The team first built a mold for the flat shell that sat over the frame of the car and then layered the fiberglass on top, which took several months to complete.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE HERO

Evan Knight ’27 was designated as the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth’s Monthly Hero in January 2020 for her ongoing volunteer efforts. Evan is best known at Ronald McDonald for collecting 30,000 pop tabs, which were taken to be recycled in exchange for dollars to support the children and families served at the Ronald McDonald Houses. Evan has been actively volunteering at RMHFW for several years, is a member of the National Charity League and volunteers at local dog shelters.

To honor the memory of Cameron Phelan ’99, an endowed award is presented to a junior who excels in creative writing. Selected by a panel of English Department faculty and administrators, each winner receives a $500 tuition grant. This year’s prompt was to write a poem which captures the essence of 2020 and what it means to be you, using the corresponding image and caption as a guide.

The 2021 winner is Maricella Wilson ’22, whose winning poem is on the next page. Runner up is Ethan McBee ’22.

In the Words of a Black Teen All people of color have felt the pain of having their soul plagiarized by the United States of America.

Belittled, bashed, beaten for the sin of their very epidermis, feeling Cast away to the depths of society Determined to make a name for ourselves somewhere created by us but not for us.

Energizing the younger generation for their Futures while Giving them the nuggets of wisdom necessary for life, for today, for survival.

Hold your hands, high like a kite, where the police can see them In case they decide to become judge, jury and executioner.

Just do anything to make it home alive.

Know the power you hold will not be diminished by the Looks of your classmates in grade school Perplexed and startled by the intricate designs of the box braids that laden your head.
