From Tad’s Desk

Dear Saints,

We are at an inflection point of time but we are not without precedent. Life was perceived as easier and less complex decades ago. Certainly, technology was different and populations less compacted. But humanity? We humans have been a mess since the dawn of time.

During the last several years, schools have faced increased pressures as we engage in the great calling of instructing children, trying to focus on educating the next generation of citizens, alongside the world screaming from the margins. Parents, families, communities are passionate about their children, and the world appears to be melting before our eyes. Schools are lightning rods of scrutiny and concern because we are dealing with our most precious resource: Children. Throughout, the All Saints’ Episcopal School community has exercised grit and resiliency, and I am grateful for all who love us, warts and all.

Teaching is not for the faint of heart; indeed, it is a deeply humbling experience. The book Think Again reminds us that humility is often misunderstood. Rather than low self-confidence, humility is about being grounded and recognizing that we’re flawed and fallible. Yet, from these challenges, we see opportunity for growth and renewal. The training ground at All Saints’ is a long pursuit for knowledge and exploring creative solutions to simple and complex problems. We balance this quest by being an intentional community of faith, a community of great humility.

Throughout this issue of Innovate, you will see clear examples of our long pursuit. Consider the impact of the All Saints’ Episcopal School Curriculum Foundation, central to our interdisciplinary approach to learning, and History in Motion. Consider the impact of Robin Page, former Early Childhood Division Head, and our subsequent excitement in the hiring of Michelle Symonds. Be sure to take notice of the remarkable achievements of our Middle School Rocketry team, which placed highest among all middle schools in the nation and nearly took the top prize against a STEM-specific high school! Share in the adventure of a young scholar who embraced the challenge of new vistas in Switzerland. Celebrate alongside the Class of 2022 and their families, honoring a job well done and joyous expectations of things to come.

I marvel at the remarkably diverse and outstanding talents of all our Saints, and I am deeply grateful for the gifts of so many who make our community strong. Enjoy.

Blessings, Tad Bird Head of School

BUILDING ON A LEGACY

By Dr. Tad Bird, Head of School

Every new school year brings changes but even more so this year. We welcomed in a new leader for our renowned Early Childhood program: Michelle Symonds, M.Ed.

Michelle’s academic pedigree is as impressive as her professional career. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor’s in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, followed by a Master’s in Instructional Technology from the University of Houston. Moreover, she completed coursework both in Educational Leadership and Supervision and in Special Education, earning her Educational Diagnostician Certificate in 2014.

The foundation of her educational philosophy is based upon the pillars of world-renowned Reggio Emilia methodology. This childinitiated, interactive practice allows students to demonstrate their own creativity and take ownership of their educational journey, laying the foundation for more confident, independent learning. Additionally, another focal point for her has been developing literacy in young learners through a long-standing relationship with Rice University’s School of Literacy and Culture, and has encouraged and supported the training of teachers at multiple schools in this nationally-recognized program.

Her leadership background is extensive and diverse, spanning more than 26 years in Houston-area Christian schools. In 1995, she began her educational career at Presbyterian School as a First Grade teacher, and eventually moved into the role of Director of Academic Technology; soon afterwards, she was elevated to Early Childhood and Lower School Assistant Principal. In 2003, she became Director of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Children’s Place, a position she held for five years before being called to serve as Head of Primary School at St. Francis Episcopal School in Houston. Most recently, Mrs. Symonds faithfully served as Head of School at Holy Spirit Episcopal School for the last five years.

Michelle brings a wealth of formal and practical professional acumen to All Saints’. Please join me in welcoming her to our community.

Q&A WITH

MRS. SYMONDS

DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN AND/OR PETS?

I have two grown children. My daughter, Addie, is in her second year of graduate school at NYU. She is a playwright specializing in Musical Theater. My son, Will, is a recent Trinity University graduate. He started work in August at Ernst and Young as an auditor. As empty nesters, my husband, Will, and I are kept entertained by our three pets: Dog, Teddy, and two cats, Loki and Pippin.

TELL US ABOUT ONE OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL MENTORS.

I am blessed to have had many wonderful mentors over the years, but there is one that stands out as instrumental in shaping my professional trajectory and instilling values that I continue to hold dear. Twenty six years ago, Dr. Ellen Welsh, my first Head of School, believed in me and encouraged me despite my status as a second year teacher. She provided me with so many incredible opportunities to learn and grow as an educator and as a leader. One opportunity that made a major impact was an invitation to join her at a Heads of School Breakfast featuring a presentation on Implementing Technology in Schools. I was so inspired that I contacted the presenters and enrolled in graduate school, eventually obtaining my M.Ed. in Educational Technology. Ellen created a new role at the school and I became the school’s

EC Faculty Christine Weathers and Jordan Lincoln with Michelle Symonds

first Director of Academic Technology. Years later, things came full circle when Ellen asked me to speak on a panel at a Head’s Breakfast on the topic of Educational Technology. Ellen models all that I aspire to embody as a professional: intellectual curiosity, integrity and a steadfast commitment to doing what is right for students. We’ve remained connected all these years and I am grateful for her friendship and guidance throughout my career.

WHO INSPIRES YOU?

An author that continues to inspire me is fellow UT grad and Episcopalian Brené Brown. I’ve read all of her books and her research and approach resonate with me. Through an opportunity with the Episcopal Diocese, I attended a twoday Dare to Lead Workshop. There are so many messages in Brené’s work that I find inspiring but I am particularly drawn to her commitment to living with authenticity and recognizing that some of the more challenging emotions and actions, such as vulnerability or engaging in difficult conversations, are necessary for true connection and require courage.

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO GIFT FOR A PRESCHOOLER?

I usually choose something for building and/or construction, including legos, magna-tiles or old fashioned blocks. I also

like toys that spark imaginary play scenarios, such as dress up clothes and imaginary play props. Also, you can never go wrong with high quality children’s books. Check out the Texas Library Association’s 2 x 2 list for children age 2-grade 2.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT IN YOUR NEW POSITION?

I am most excited about meeting the families and children within my Division. Each student brings their own unique personality, interests, thoughts and ideas. I look forward to learning as much from them as they learn from us. I am excited to work with the incredible teachers in Early Childhood. During our summer one-on-one conversations, I am learning more about their interests and passions and where they seek to both grow the program and grow professionally. One of our first endeavors will be enhancing our outdoor classroom that currently includes a variety of planters. In addition to gardening, we hope to add sand and water exploration and a mud kitchen. I also hope to facilitate regular trips to the RANGE for our Early Childhood students. I believe nature exploration develops the whole child with opportunities to strengthen cognitive skills, fine and gross motor competencies, language development, social and emotional skills and spiritually through appreciation of God’s creation and learning how they can take care of our beautiful world.

TRANSFORMATIVE LEGACY

Robin Page, former and first-ever Early Childhood Division Head, moved to Florida to be closer to family after faithfully serving All Saints’ for more than a decade, building a transformative legacy. She is now the Primary Division Head (PK - Grade 2) at St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School in Tampa, FL.

Our number is 12, for the number of hand-painted Kindergarten Picnic shoes we have in our closets.

Tuition is set by our Board each year after evaluating all economic factors. However, the cost to provide the All Saints’ experience for every student is significantly higher. To make up the difference, the School generates program revenue and alternative revenue, draws from endowment earnings and raises additional funds – the All Saints’ Fund – to maintain financial health. We ask everyone who has a connection to the School to give to the All Saints’ Fund. Because the stronger the fund, the stronger the All Saints’ experience.

HISTORY REIMAGINED

By Lindsay Griffis, Fifth Grade Faculty

Traditions at All Saints’ run deep. From the Kindergarten Family Picnic to Commencement on the Great Lawn, the All Saints’ Episcopal School experience is filled with annual traditions meant to bind us together. One of the hallmark traditions in Lower School is the Fifth Grade Living History Museum, where students research a selected historical figure and present the person through costume, props, and a carefully studied speech. Visitors to the “museum” include our littlest Saints in Early Childhood through our Upper School seniors, and many of our friends and families. When asked about Fifth Grade, older students reminisce fondly about their time as George Washington, Thomas Paine or Abigail Adams.

Mrs. Griffis with Keller Franklin ’29 and Ryley Ahern ’29, who investigated Benedict Arnold.

In the spring of 2022, Fifth Grade’s Living History Museum was reimagined and rebranded History in Motion. Fifth grade Saints were challenged with a nineweek learning unit that contained many features of the well-loved project with several additions.

History in Motion was aptly named, for we know that history is never stagnant. Students evaluated how their historical figure not only impacted the past, but how their contributions and achievements affect the world today. They accomplished this through a five-stage process.

INVESTIGATION

Students investigated the life and times of their chosen person to determine how their choices critically impacted the world around them, both then and now. While research can sometimes feel like an isolated process, students had a partner to help validate their information. Our Lower School Librarian, Mrs. Harris, was invaluable at guiding students to trusted sources and citing our work.

“There is so much information and different history articles on the Internet. It is important to know which history websites and activities are good and trustworthy.” Keller Franklin ’29

“I’d also suggest reading a book instead of searching for a bunch of websites. Most websites have the exact same information, but in a different word choice. Reading a book helped me a lot with events in Dolley Madison’s life, and why she is famous.” Amy Gates ’29

DISCOVERY

Students discovered what makes this person still relevant and shared what they learned in a curated podcast. Students visited the Lower School Exploratorium with Mrs. McCollough to learn about a variety of podcast styles. They then wrote, edited and performed their scripts. Our Saints had the opportunity to write creatively and insert their own opinions. Podcasts are featured on our very own History in Motion channel on Spotify.

“For our podcast, we used an app called Anchor. Anchor helps you create podcasts with no fee, and publishes them to top apps, or websites for podcasts. We also learned a few podcast types, like Q&A. When I did a Q&A, my partner and I thought of very in-depth questions, like ‘How did you feel when you signed the Declaration of Independence?’” Liam Crawford ’29

Adele Bolton ’29, Elle Whisenhunt ’29 and Liam Crawford ’29

OUR GOAL FOR HISTORY IN MOTION WAS TO PROVIDE A STUDENTCENTERED, COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT CHALLENGED EACH STUDENT IN A UNIQUE WAY.

CREATION

Students created a Pop art rendering of their individual during co-curricular art classes. Mrs. Montgomery, Lower School Art Faculty, led students through a multistep procedure that began with selecting a portrait, digitally adjusting the color to a monochromatic scheme, and painting it themselves with acrylic paints. The cover of this issue reflects a variety of those portraits. Students also competed in a contest for the History in Motion brochure cover.

“Something we did that was really really fun was painting the self portrait of our person because our art teacher is amazing…I loved making the cover art for the brochure and when we gathered in the Exploratorium to see who the winner was–it was extremely fun.” Allie Beth Wieser ’29

PERSONIFICATION

The live performances have always been essential and powerful moments for the fifth graders. In collaboration with our theater department, students completed a theater workshop with Mrs. Singleton and Mr. Longacre, Middle and Upper School Theater Faculty.

In this workshop, students learned how to monitor their tempo, projection, and posture. They also learned how to use items from around the house to create a costume that accurately and respectfully characterized their individual. Students had the opportunity to determine which memorization techniques worked best for their personal learning styles.

“I learned that kinesthetic memorization is easiest for me.” Carson Campbell ’29

“Costume making is harder than it looks. Presenting is easier than you think.” Ryley Ahern ’29

REFLECTION

In collaboration with Mrs. Gresham and the All Saints’ Instructional Technology Department, students built their own Google sites. These sites act as portfolios for their History in Motion products. Student websites include their written essays as well as photographs and videos of their costumes, performances and artwork. Our Saints now have a documented body of work that moves with them to Middle School to demonstrate their skills and quality of work.

Mrs. Singleton, Middle School Theater Faculty, presenting to fifth graders

“I never thought that I would ever miss this project so much. This was a lot harder than I ever imagined but I would do the whole thing again in a heartbeat.” Elle Whisenhunt ’29

“I thought of it [History in Motion] as a mountain that nobody had climbed. Dangerous, but glorious to be the first.” Greyson Parker ’29

We all know that studying history helps us understand the world around us – and ourselves – a little better. It has been said that history repeats itself, and watching our Saints accomplish all they did through the inaugural year of History in Motion is a feeling I can’t wait to repeat. The tradition continues….reimagined.

HISTORY IN MOTION IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE ALL SAINTS’ CURRICULUM FOUNDATION THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF THE LEE AND RAMONA BASS FOUNDATION. THE CURRICULUM FOUNDATION SUPPORTS PROGRAMS THAT ARE INTEGRATED, INNOVATIVE AND VALUE-CENTRIC WITH FIRM ROOTS IN DEVELOPING A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

SWISS ADVENTURE

By Liz Sellers ’26

Not many kids are dreaming about snow skiing in the summer. I was going into eighth grade and, if I am being completely honest, the two main factors that prompted me to apply for The Winter Term were travel and skiing. I quickly came to realize that those two components would be very enjoyable but not even close to the best part.

The Winter Term is a three-month program directed by Peter and Anna Harvey in the village of Lenk, Switzerland. A co-ed group of 45 seventh and eighth grade students from across the world are accepted into The Winter Term to experience an incredible ski, academic, and character building-focused program.

The Winter Term seeks to combine the educational richness of a good international school with social and emotional attributes of the finest summer camps by offering rigorous academics and diverse activities in a community that emphasizes trust, cooperation, respect for others, and accepting personal responsibility. - The Winter Term website

All Saints’ was a huge help throughout the entire process, from application to my return. Four teachers wrote me letters of recommendation: Mrs. Caruthers, MS English Faculty; Mrs. Conan-Simpson, Manager of Instructional Technology;

Mrs. Hartman, MS Math Faculty; and Mr. Smith, MS Religion Faculty. Mrs. Hartman even wrote me a letter while I was gone!

Their contributions didn’t end there. Winter Term students are required to bring our own Math and languages curriculum so we wouldn’t fall behind. Sr. Binkowski, MS Spanish Faculty, created a beginning French course for me since French would be more relevant in Switzerland than Spanish. We studied Science, English and History separately while there. My teachers were extremely supportive and understanding when creating the curriculum and made sure I was confident in my studies.

This program was the absolute best three months of my life so far. I truly met some of my best friends there and I would do it again in a second.

“I love that Liz was able to explore a new place and make new friends, all while continuing her eighth grade studies that were connected to our Middle School curriculum. Upon her return, Liz was more confident, was excited to highlight her completed work, and modeled how each child’s educational journey is unique.” DR. NICOLE STROUD, MIDDLE SCHOOL DIVISION HEAD

They have picked their credit areas, provided evidence, and all of their courses have been entered into the portal. All Saints’ will now move from the Beta stage to the Pilot stage where students collaborate with colleges on their transcript markers. All Saints’ will also engage in the MTC Learning Record process which captures and reports the competency-based learning of students while honoring the traditional transcript.

McCollough Honored WITH CAMERON PHELAN CREATIVE WRITING AWARD

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. US English Faculty members Brook Tanner and Allyson Eaton delivered this year’s prompt, which was to describe a scene in which a significant historical moment is about to take place.

The 2022 winner is Kate McCollough ‘23, whose winning entry is featured here describing the theft of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa from the Louvre in Paris in 1911.

THE MOMENT JUST BEFORE

The scene could have been a painting - a still life - not unlike the many hung along the walls in gilded wooden frames. The only movement in the hall was from bits of dust swirling lazily in a beam of morning light. In and out, around and back - disturbing nothing as they silhouetted a slight draft. Monday mornings were ordinarily quiet at the Louvre; today was no different. The museum would not be opening its doors to the public. Had it opened, however, the scene would have been the same. Parisian people were oftentimes too exhausted from the exciting night before to give much thought to anything other than a hearty bowl of cassoulet to curb their wicked hangovers. On this lazy Monday, only people dressed in white smocks carrying dirty rags could be found in the museum; the pungent perfumes of cleaning agents left hanging in the air would be their sole trace.

The scene remained as it was for some time. Masterpieces of artists past had no audience but the beam of light and the dust. The hall was a tomb of tribulations and triumphs, of painstaking detail and poise: another catacomb of Paris meant to be sealed forever. Perhaps it had been this way for thousands of years, undisturbed and preserved. Unfortunately, human nature cannot help but indulge. We must crack open the stone doors if there is the slightest chance of treasure within.

It was with this temptation that three men had snuck into the gallery the night before. For hours they slept like stones, hidden in the depths of a supply closet. It was now, when they began to stir, that the spell was broken: the stillness disturbed. A golden doorknob shifted. The doors of the tomb were finally unsealed. A haunting creak echoed off the walls as a man stepped forth into the beam of light. His appearance made the dust move menacingly about, silently protesting what was to come. Behind him trailed two more men. They were all dressed in ill-fitting white smocks and carried a comically large blanket. Under different circumstances, one might say they looked like infants tottering about the hall. Also like infants, the men seemed unaware of the significance of the history surrounding them. Clumsily they walked, waddling to their prize. A painting of a woman looked down on the men. Her eyes seemed to follow their movement; her smile seemed to know what they did not.

THEIR PORTRAITS CAN BE FOUND ON THE COVER!

ANSWER BANK

He authored three autobiographies and believed in dialogue across racial and ideological divides, having been quoted as saying, “I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.”

Daughter of a Missouri senator and wife of a California senator, she was a political activist and writer of her husband’s adventures exploring the American West.

A campaigner of equal rights for women and African Americans, she was the first female citizen to be depicted on a U.S. coin in 1979.

Likely more of a nickname for a group of heroic women who carried water to soldiers on the Revolutionary War battlefield.

After buying his freedom from slavery, he enlisted in the militia and was cited as serving valiantly in the Battle of Bunker Hill, Battle of White Plains and the Battle of Monmouth.

He was the only individual to be elected governor of two different states; he was the sixth governor of Tennessee and the seventh governor of Texas. He also served as the first and third president of the Republic of Texas.

She was emancipated from slavery shortly after her famous book of poetry was published.

She is one of only two women to have been married to one U.S. president and the mother of another.

Born in a Kentucky log cabin, he became a lawyer and the sixteenth president of the United States, leading the country through a Civil War and abolition of slavery before his assasination.

The abolitionist and feminist who authored both Little Women and Little Men
