Dear Sanford Community, I am excited to introduce this issue of SANFORD magazine, our 2017– 2018 Annual Report. As you will see on the pages of this publication, Sanford’s fundraising success was notable and the result of generosity from every group in the Sanford community. We are grateful for and humbled by the support Sanford received last year. Thanks to our donors—who supported the Annual fund, endowment, capital projects, and auction gifts—we received more than $1,300,000! Occasionally, folks ask, “Why give to a school that already charges tuition?” The simple answer is that the generosity of the Sanford community allows us to do more for our students. Past and present Sanford families, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff members, and trustees provide resources to make Sanford exceptional. We want Sanford to be the very best school it can be for our students. That means hiring the finest teachers and coaches, offering top-notch learning and playing environments, and continually improving our academic and co-curricular programs. Financial support makes these ambitions turn into reality. Read the testimonials and stories on the following pages. You’ll see how much we value our donors’ support, how philanthropy helps us create transformative experiences, and how and why some of our donors give to Sanford. Because of your gifts: • Faculty and staff members study in graduate school, making them stronger and more effective teachers, leaders, and administrators. • Our academic, artistic, and athletic programs continue to grow and expand. • Our facilities and campus provide a world-class learning environment. • Students enjoy a school experience that prepares them for a lifetime of success. I share these Sanford success stories with tremendous pride. Yes, I am proud of the amount of money our community raised in 2017– 2018. However, it is how we are using these funds to make Sanford Bolder, Brighter, and Stronger that excites me most of all. On behalf of the Sanford Board of Trustees, our leadership team, and our entire faculty and staff— thank you! All the best,
Mark J. Anderson, Head of School

Why We Give Sanford Inspires Student Philanthropy
In pursuit of attaining scouting’s highest honors, Alistair Bebbington ’20, Taryn Jenkins ’19 and Zachary Stevenson ’19 directed
their philanthropic efforts to benefit and partner with Sanford School. Bebbington and Stephenson achieved the rank of Eagle Scout with projects that required them to “plan, develop and give leadership to others” while Jenkins earned her Girl Scout Gold Award that challenges “girls to create their community legacy with a sustainable solution to a problem.”

Eagle Scout Project: Cross Country Trail Renovations
Eagle Scout Project: Outdoor Classroom
“My project was a renovation of Sanford School’s cross country trails. Four things were required to achieve this renovation: mulching a section of the trail that was getting a bit overgrown; installing a drainage pipe to allow water to pass under an area that frequently erodes; building 5 benches and placing them around the valley; and creating 20 mile marker or directional signs for the team to use during meets and practices. I chose this project to benefit the Sanford community because I have been going to Sanford for about 14 years and I wanted to do something to finally give back. Sanford instilled the spirit of philanthropy in me because of all the kind and charitable things that they choose to do to give back to the community. I felt like it was finally my turn to give back to Sanford.”
“My Eagle project was to build the outdoor classroom in Chapel Valley. I chose to have my project at Sanford because I wanted to benefit my peers and those who will come after us. I also wanted to give back to the school that had given so much to me. The Eagle project is required to be a service project that is helpful to any religious institution, any school, or the community. Philanthropy is the desire to promote the welfare of others. As an institution, Sanford has helped to instill a spirit of philanthropy through the school’s annual MLK Day tradition of service. Rather than just honoring the holiday with a day off, Sanford chooses to engage all the students in service and have them participate as a community in various projects. This not only shows the esteem of the school for service to others as part of our education but also allows the students to enjoy the experience with their friends. This lesson was one of the driving factors in my choosing to give back to Sanford and perform my Eagle project there. As a community, Sanford always seems to reach out to help those in need outside of the school as well as improve educational experiences for the students.”

“I give because of the transformational impact Sanford has had on my life. I’m humbled that my giving contributes, in a small way, to the school’s ability to have a similar impact on current and future students.” –Kenny Mitchell ’93
giving back Taryn Jenkins ’19 Girl Scout Gold Award Project: Jumping the Hurdles Play Book—Foster Care to College “I had experience with community service projects that supported foster care children such as My Blue Duffle Bag through Kind to Kids, and I wanted to do additional work for this population through my Gold Award project. Through research, I was struck to learn that less than 10% of foster care youth transition to college and wanted to do something. My project, Jumping the Hurdles Play Book—Foster Care to College, involved the creation of a resource website, distribution of college kits from donated items, and raising awareness. Sanford provided the perfect partnership for the college kits’ distribution component of my project. I worked with the Home & School Association to collect items to outfit dorm rooms for 12 students who were making the transition to college, and the support from the community was incredible. College prep is so much a part of our everyday function at Sanford. Because this is something that we all work towards as a school community—students, parents, faculty and staff—this was a great project to allow us to pause and support others who have had a different kind of journey and appreciate the hurdles faced. The connection and support for the project were immediate, and the donations from Sanford families totally exceeded my expectations and goals. Our Sanford community once again showed that we care about communities well beyond our campus. Sanford School continuously supports meaningful service projects. But from this project, Sanford School has shown me the power of sharing a need and watching steps of action take shape and momentum towards results and solutions. I’ve always been active in community service projects, but this experience with Sanford allowed me to feel empowered to inspire others to support philanthropic goals. I plan to build upon this experience while serving others during my college years.”
The Johnstons:
GENEROSITY RUNS IN THEIR FAMILY
Alice and Reed Johnston
enthusiastically contribute to Sanford’s Annual Fund. They also choose to give to a specific project each year. Most recently, they have supported the Sanford Auction through their willingness to be the lead gift donors in the event’s paddle raise. Their generosity has funded needs including the establishment of a computer lab in the Middle School, upgrades to the Sports Center, and faculty summer study grants. By giving publicly in this way, Alice and Reed are able to encourage others to give during the paddle raise portion of the auction, resulting in an even greater impact.
A commitment to philanthropy is in the Johnston family’s DNA. Alice and Reed serve as a positive example for their daughter Grace, a Sanford lifer and member of the Class of 2019. Grace has been actively volunteering, whether for the Bayard House, B+, Pancakes for Parkinson’s or simply selecting a charity such as Feed My Starving Children to receive donations in lieu of gifts for her “Sweet 16” celebration. Last year, Grace was nominated to run for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Delaware Student of the Year. Grace raised over $62,000 through numerous events on campus and in the community. A waffle breakfast in Sanford’s dining hall brought the school’s families together in support of LLS. As a result of her commitment and fundraising success, Grace raised more than any previous student had in Delaware and was the first female to be recognized as Delaware Student of the Year. Alice and Reed shared, “As a family, we believe in the power of giving. We also believe in Sanford School, having seen how our daughter’s education and experiences have developed her over the last 13 years into a strong, independent, intelligent young woman. Our giving to Sanford stems from our commitment to education and volunteerism. We are so grateful to Sanford for all they do for Grace and can think of no better way to say thank you.”

Why We Give The Wahls: MAKING OUR CAMPUS BOLDER AND BRIGHTER Kimberly and Adam Wahl prefer to give to
specific campus projects and their support has been integral in many of the recent campus updates. The renovation of Quigley Hall and Stewart Cottage benefitted from Adam’s expertise in HVAC and air handling systems. Similarly, his interest in teaching young people basic carpentry skills led to a gift that resulted in the establishment of the Wahl Woodworking Shop in Stewart Cottage. This fall, the Upper School woodworking class was the most popular elective offered to students. Kimberly has a passion for reading. In addition to volunteering with the Home and School Association, she annually makes a contribution to the Lower School’s Hammonds Library. A monetary gift allows for the purchase of books that are desired to fill out the collection. With respect to why the Wahls are strong supporters, Kimberly shared: “Adam and I believe in giving back and teaching our children how important that is. Sanford has given so much to each of our kids and we are happy to give of our time and resources.”

“It is coming up on 50 years since I graduated from Sanford, a long time chronologically but seems like yesterday when I think about all the experiences I had while a student there. Sanford for me was a second home as a boarding student, and it was a warm and welcoming home at that. Each year I look at the yearbooks and the writings of my classmates and remember how much Sanford means to me. While Sanford is not a boarding school anymore, it is obvious that as in the past, the present Sanford is a leader in education leading to well-rounded graduates who will make their positive mark on society as they continue their education and enter the working world. I am a strong believer in all that Sanford did for me and my classmates and now does. I donate to Sanford to keep the great education programs viable and to allow the curriculum to grow and expand into new areas as needed. This is where Sanford excels—staying educationally current while providing the nurturing environment all students need to explore new ideas and learn for the future.” –Stephen Rose ’69

“I give because of what I see and hear when I’m at Sanford from students, faculty, alumni and administration. Our traditions continue; it’s Sanford family.” –Katherine Hughes Moon ’68
The Pias: SUPPORTING MINDFULNESS FOR OUR COMMUNITY N
ancy and Michael Pia established a charitable foundation in 2002 to support projects and organizations focused on the well-being of children. As the parents of two alumni (Lisa Pia Reed ’99 and Amy Pia Clark ’02) and grandparents of three current students (Abby Clark ’30, Tyler Clark ’32, and Sawyer Reed ’32), the Pias knew that the Kenneth D. Jones Chapel was a campus landmark. The chapel was in great need of repair and system updates. Funds had been raised for renovations from among the school’s alumni, but it did not meet the total cost of the renovations. While saving the historic building was important to the Pias, it was the resulting educational and personal growth opportunities for students that were of greater interest. After learning more about how the updated chapel would be integrated into the school’s curriculum and programming, they were eager to support the project. The Pias’ commitment went one step further. A portion of their gift was used to initiate a mindfulness program that was introduced to faculty and students in the fall of 2018. Many faculty members were eager to expand their knowledge of how mindfulness could help them become more effective in the classroom and benefit their students. The Pias have long been advocates of mindfulness—the practice of being fully present. Scientific research shows that practicing mindfulness improves one’s ability to manage emotions, reduces anxiety and the
feeling of being overwhelmed, and increases understanding and empathy toward others. In the first few months of implementation, the program has been met with enthusiasm, and mindfulness has become a meaningful asset to the entire school community. The Pias’ generosity is not only making Sanford a better place for students to learn and our faculty to teach, it is also serving as an example for others about how they can make a difference. Nancy Pia stated, “I believe practicing mindfulness can significantly enhance the emotional and mental health of children, and it is my hope that our students will reap its benefits well beyond their years at Sanford.”

WAYS TO GIVE:
Investing in Sanford
G
iving to Sanford is an investment in the future of the school. Gifts ensure that current and future students enjoy the same sense of community enjoyed for generations, as well as experience excellence in academics, athletics, and arts. n There are numerous ways to make an impactful gift to the school. Each is significant and appreciated. ANNUAL FUND The Annual Fund helps fund the immediate operational needs of the school. Gifts to the Annual Fund benefit today’s students immediately. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of a student’s education. If tuition were raised to meet the entire amount, a Sanford education would be out of reach for most families. If you can only make one gift, we hope that the Annual Fund is your priority. Annual Fund gifts come from current families, as well as alumni and their families, grandparents, faculty and staff, trustees and others who believe in Sanford’s mission.
RESTRICTED GIFTS Sanford has numerous financial needs for facility improvements and curriculum upgrades that cannot be currently met from the school’s operating budget. Donors may restrict their gifts to meet particular needs of the school. A conversation between the donor and the school can help educate the donor about the school’s desires and allows the school to learn more about the donor’s particular interest. Donors often are willing to make a larger gift if they understand the specific wishes of the school.
ENDOWMENT GIFTS Contributions to the endowment fund provide for the longterm sustainability of the school. The endowment is invested and income is available for use by the school. Sanford has specific guidelines that allow the endowment to grow and provide income for general operating or designated needs. Gifts to the endowment may be made through outright gifts or planned gifts, which provide immediate and future benefits to the donor, as well as Sanford.
MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES Donors may recognize the memory of a friend or loved one with a gift to the school. Contributions can also be made in honor of a student, friend, faculty member, or event. GIFTS IN KIND A gift to Sanford can have an immediate and specific impact on the school. From no-longerneeded instruments to play costumes and classroom items, these contributions come in numerous forms.

How You Can Give ✓ CHECK OR CREDIT CARD: These are the most common methods of submission, and you may donate online, in person, or via U.S. mail.
✓ SECURITIES: By gifting appreciated securities, you can avoid capital gains. An income tax deduction may be taken in the amount of the fair market value at the time the security is gifted to Sanford. By selling depreciated securities and gifting the sale proceeds, you may also offset other capital gains in the given year. Please contact Sanford’s Development Office to receive electronic transfer instructions for your broker.
✓ PLANNED GIFTS AND BEQUESTS: As you do your financial and estate planning, consider including Sanford in your plan. Options can include an outright bequest, making Sanford the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA rollover, real estate, charitable trusts or life income gifts. All of these tools could provide you and your heirs tax benefits, while creating a legacy for Sanford.
✓ MATCHING GIFTS: Many employers match employee contributions to non-profits dollar for dollar or even at a more generous rate. In most cases, Sanford School qualifies for matching gifts. Both you and your employer will receive credit for the gift. The Development Office can assist you in completing the necessary paperwork. See your company’s human relations department to learn more about their plan.
On October 17, 2018, the Development Office hosted a bonfire in Chapel Valley to recognize leadership donors and other individuals who supported 2017–2018 fundraising initiatives. During that event, (top) Sanford faculty members Casey and Libbie Zimmer connected with Sanford trustee and alumni parent Gregg Somerville; and Head of School Mark Anderson, current and alumni parent and Sanford trustee Stan Sykora, and Sanford faculty member and parent Scott Davenport engaged in a spirited conversation.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING
Sanford . Special Annual Report Issue . Fall 2018
Dear Sanford Community, We express our sincerest gratitude to each and every donor who made 2017–2018 a banner fiscal year for giving at Sanford. Gifts to the Annual Fund, restricted gifts, gifts in kind, and proceeds from the Home & School Auction totaled more than $1.3 million. The combined effort of more than 875 supporters contributed to achieving this benchmark. In addition, numerous volunteers shared their time and talents to make Sanford a wonderful place for students to learn and a special community for families to thrive. Sanford seeks to help students find their passions. Every day our faculty lives the school’s motto, “No talent lies latent.” This Annual Report highlights several donors who give because they have found their passions and want to help our school thrive. You’ll also read about the myriad of ways that philanthropy has enhanced the school’s community, campus, and programs. You, too, can give to promote your passions. Every year, 100% of faculty, staff, and trustees give to the Annual Fund because they are invested in what they see happening on campus daily. Alumni give to honor their time as a student or to remember someone who had an impact on their time at Sanford. Grandparents give because they have a perspective about what is important to them: their grandchildren and future generations of young people. Parents give because they are enthusiastic about the education their child is receiving. Let us know where your interests lie, and we will let you know how you can support Sanford students. At this time of thanksgiving and celebration, we value your commitment to Sanford. We hope you will continue to find a way to make an impact on the school, for this and future generations of students. With sincere appreciation, The Sanford Development Team

Donor appreciation notes Thanks to Annual Fund gifting,
we were able to purchase VEX IQ robots for teams of two to program. It’s been fun watching students plan, execute, and finally tweak their programs to fix bugs. I frequently remind students that although we’re programming, these are life skills—planning, implementing, and fixing! –Jen Nightengale ’82, Technology Teacher
After having started
teaching over a decade ago without any formal background in education, I was more than happy to have the opportunity to go back to school and earn an advanced degree in education. Throughout my graduate program, many of the techniques and practices that I had learned through experience were validated and reinforced through the research I did. Additionally, my program allowed me to explore some areas that were of keen interest to me, that I had not yet experienced through my work. These included the place of gaming and virtual worlds in education, working with students with autism spectrum disorder, and the changes and challenges that our students face in the years following graduation. My program also created an opportunity for me to design and run an after-school STEM program at Sanford in the winter of 2016–2017. Earning an M.S. Ed. from the University of Pennsylvania was a phenomenal experience, and the first time I pursued an educational opportunity for myself. I am very grateful that Sanford supported me in this endeavor, and I look forward to continuing to reinvest my education back into Sanford. –Ensign Simmons, Science Department Co-Chair

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING
Donor appreciation notes I have learned so much in graduate school, but the two topics that have impacted me the most are diversity and science literacy.
Diversity is an important topic in today’s world, but talking about it can be taboo. Through the University of Delaware’s Promoting Equitable Schools course, I have learned that it is important for educators to talk about diversity, race, and gender in school. I now have strategies to talk about these topics in advisory while making everyone feel safe, heard, and respected. Reading science can be hard for many middle schoolers. One reason is students might have zero background knowledge on the topic. They are reading the words but the passage doesn’t make sense to them. Thanks to Literacy Across Content Areas, I have learned some tricks to deepen background knowledge, like reading uncomplicated science comics or watching a short video before starting a new topic or reading assignment. Another reason science texts are difficult to comprehend is due to the amount of information and heavy vocabulary. I now have a ton of graphic organizers and other tools to aid students through these dense science texts. –Emily Egan, Science Teacher
The master’s program at Villanova
was extremely rewarding. It allowed me the opportunity to collaborate with outstanding professionals from the area and to develop a deeper understanding of how students learn. In particular, I developed my ability to solicit student voice. Through the use of informal and formal feedback, I have been able to incorporate the experiences of my students at Sanford into my instruction. Those strategies have resulted in the development of a stronger relationship between myself and the students I teach. The pedagogical strategies I have acquired are designed to increase student engagement and have had tangible benefits across all of my classes. –Eric Peoples, History & Global Studies Teacher

Sanford . Special Annual Report Issue . Fall 2018
Donor appreciation notes When I was first hired to teach at Sanford,
even though I was fluent in Spanish, I had never taken a course on world language pedagogy. The time that I spent at Middlebury College in the MA in Spanish program allowed me to take classes that specifically focused on teaching a world language, and I have utilized the techniques that I learned to add variety to the experiences that students have in my classroom. Additionally, the opportunity to be a student again and to study abroad during one of my four summers of the program reignited my enthusiasm for the subject content. I learned valuable cultural information that has deepened my love for the Spanish language and the countries where it is spoken. Finally, I was fortunate to be in an environment of total language immersion, which allowed me to further perfect my oral fluency. The people who attended this program, mostly language teachers, were truly inspiring and dedicated educators, and my time with them allowed for collaboration that has most certainly influenced my teaching in a positive way. Overall, this program was life-changing, and I am so grateful to have had Sanford’s support in pursuing my master’s degree. –Elizabeth Capone, World Language Co-Chair
With the help of Sanford’s Annual Fund,
I was able to pursue my Masters of Education in Independent School Leadership at the University of Pennsylvania. This yearlong, executive-style program allowed me to connect with school leaders across the country while deepening my understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing schools in today’s world. Throughout the year I gained a 360-degree view of independent schools and, more specifically, of Sanford. Spending more time in classrooms, talking with faculty and department chairs about their work, and researching the student perspective of Sanford’s diversity and inclusion efforts allowed me to step outside the admission world and experience other key aspects of the school. My time at Penn was truly transformative. I grew extensively as a person and as a school leader. I gained a healthy perspective of all aspects of running schools, challenged my own thinking, and built lasting friendships and professional connections. I am incredibly grateful to Sanford for helping me take advantage of this exceptional opportunity. –Jaime Morgan ’02, Director of Admission & Financial Aid

Donor appreciation notes When Mark Anderson gathered a small group
of faculty together to discuss potential plans for a space on campus dedicated to woodworking, I was thrilled. The group discussed the potential of having a shared space that could ignite creative design thinking in all divisions; a place where students could approach problem-solving in a hands-on way, creating their own varied solutions and practicing new intellectual habits.
In the visual arts at Sanford, we have worked to make sure that our curriculum teaches students to not only be lifelong learners and creators but also to appreciate deeper forms of beauty. Some of the habits of mind we work toward include focus, perseverance, patience, and the ability to self-assess to improve the quality of their work. The Stewart woodshop has already proved itself to be an ideal place to practice these habits. In our 3D Design class, students have been working collaboratively to create a sculptural installation for the upper school stairwell that our community can enjoy for years to come. Together, the class has overcome setbacks that come with making physical objects, thereby preparing them for challenges they may face outside of the classroom. Future projects include designing and creating custom boxes and incorporating recycled wood to create a piece of furniture. These challenges will no doubt come with learning opportunities that will develop metacognition in our students and shape what makes the Sanford experience so unique. –Maria Tate, Visual Arts Chair

Donor appreciation notes Thanks to the generosity of our community
and the ingenuity of Middle School students, our recess area is greatly improved. One of the most popular features is a GaGa pit. From an educator’s perspective, the best part of the GaGa pit is that children from every grade play together safely in an inclusive competition that allows multiple layers of success despite the age of the child or the skill set. The children self-regulate the rules, resolve disagreements, and learn important developmental skills while engaging in physical activity. The GaGa pit and other enhancements were the result of Middle School students’ requests and the contribution of time and treasure from our community. Our Home and School Association provided the funding to create and extend the footprint of the recess field. The Middle School faculty helped me build the GaGa pit over the summer, and an anonymous gift provided the “astroturf” surface which prevents muddy pants and scraped knees. We are grateful for the entire Sanford village that made the new Middle School playground possible. –Eph Humphreys, Head of Middle School
Last year
the student council was asked to think of some exciting new equipment for the new playground. The ideas that the council came up with were things that even Mr. Humphreys had never heard of. One of these things is the GaGa pit. GaGa is an extremely fun and unique game. I have played GaGa many times and it always is a great game every time. It has a fun competitiveness quality, but not so that everyone begins to argue. In fact, the GaGa pit helps students like me to work on figuring out how to solve problems that arise, such as, what if the ball bounced off his/her foot, but he/she still catches the ball. Is he/she out? Is he/she safe? Is the other person out? It helps with problem-solving and having just plain fun. I am glad for the student council’s idea to get the GaGa pit, along with a seesaw, a ropes course, and a thing that Mr. Humphreys calls “a merry-go-round on steroids.” I think the playground this year is going to be great. –Andrew Taylor, Class of 2024

Donor appreciation notes The Bermuda grass field has been
a tremendous addition to our Warrior athletic facilities and a thoughtful gift to our field hockey and lacrosse programs. Members of these Sanford teams will benefit significantly from playing on this much-improved field surface. It is an attractive field to look at and even better to play on! How do I begin to thank the generous donors of the Bermuda turf field for providing our teams with a first-class playing surface? I think the easiest way is to have the donors come watch our field hockey team on a practice or game day. The players and coaches are thrilled with the greatly improved playing surface. The ability to prepare for competition on this field each day shows in our improved pace of play and in the smiles on the faces of players and coaches, alike! The playing surface is now smooth and flat, which allows field hockey players to hone their skills with the ball rolling, instead of bouncing. It also provides a quicker speed of play, which helps to simulate the conditions our players will face when they play occasional games on artificial turf fields. Our head field hockey coach, Anne Brooking, shared, “It looks beautiful as one enters Sanford’s campus and it ‘plays better than it looks’! Tim Parks, our field technician, has done an amazing job learning about Bermuda grass and how to maintain it properly. His attention to detail in cutting and preparing the field for practice and game play has been exceptional. And as a result, our practices have been more productive and our game play is much-improved. I’m so thankful for this gift to our student-athletes.” The coaches, athletes, and I extend a heartfelt thank you to the donors for their support of the Sanford athletic program and this gift to us all! –Joan Samonisky, Director of Athletics

Donor appreciation notes The UDLib/Search program provides
school and home access to over 50 databases that provide articles, eBooks, images, videos, maps, multimedia resources, and information from encyclopedias. Students and teachers have access to relevant, credible, and age-appropriate data whether they are on campus or at home. The engaging content aligns with curriculum, research topics, and homework assignments. Teacher resources and other useful tools are included across all databases. The UDLib/SEARCH databases are an important resource for helping students to learn at every level. Here are a few examples: • Lower School students use PebbleGo to research animals and take notes in a graphic organizer. • Middle School students find resources to help write research papers on influential historical events, people, or issues within American History. • Upper School students select a topic, find five scholarly articles, and create a presentation to teach others about their topic.
The UDLib/SEARCH databases are a great tool for our community because they provide access to information that is not available on the Internet through search engines such as Google or Safari. Students like that the resources are accurate, and they don’t have to worry about receiving misinformation or being bombarded with Internet ads. Many teachers say the resources save valuable instructional time, prepare students for college, and create a strong foundation for lifelong learning in a digital world. I’m thankful that the Annual Fund supports Sanford’s participation in the UDLib/SEARCH program. –Sandy Sutty, Upper School Librarian and Technology Integration Coordinator

Donor appreciation notes Have you noticed the STEAM coming from the Lower School playground? STEAM is otherwise known as Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, and it is becoming an integral part of the planning and use of our own Lower School playground space. Beginning in the summer of 2017, our faculty began to dream of innovative ways to enhance the existing space and equipment to allow our children additional opportunities to explore activities that reflected the world around them: a world where technology, invention, and design are increasingly important. In an era where too often recess is being cut from a child’s school schedule, Sanford recognizes outdoor learning as a vital extension of the classroom. Adding equipment and materials that align with what is being taught in our classrooms and making them available at recess in a type of outdoor makerspace provide two unique opportunities that don’t happen during other times of the school day: • It gives children uninterrupted time to independently investigate and explore concepts introduced in the classroom or to explore their own ideas. • Children have the unique opportunity to explore and play with others across ages and developmental levels. Sharing ideas and communicating among a larger range of peers develop risk-taking, verbal skills, and confidence, as well as a deeper understanding of the world around them. Over the past year, with the planning and the support of teachers, Buildings and Grounds, administrators, and parents, the playground began to transform. Some of the exciting changes that can already be seen include: • A stage for children to use to sing, dance, imagine, and pretend • A larger sandbox with water play and a pump station. Coming within the next few months an outdoor magnet wall will be installed, which will include ramps, cups, and tubes. Children will have the chance to play in a new playhouse and explore with a discovery table. The longterm plan is to have materials (loose parts) that can be rotated during various parts of the year and would include items for the sandbox such as cars, ramps and additional excavation materials, large outdoor building blocks, a curtain and props for our stage, and maybe even some outdoor musical instruments. If you find yourself near our playground, I would invite you to come and wander to listen to children talk, share, laugh, and discover in the reimagined space. Their conversations and joy as they experiment, explore, and discover say it all. –Kathy Dabkowski, Lower School Teacher

Donor appreciation notes Through my past four years
of high school, I have seen the baseball field change tremendously. Transitioning into my junior year, one of the changes I witnessed was moving the backstop back which allows us to have more room on the field and also more room in the dugout. The new scoreboard is an upgrade from our old scoreboard which is great for both baseball games and soccer games. Like the scoreboard, our new outfield fence is a lovely upgrade because not only is it visually appealing, it keeps balls on the field a lot better than our old fence. With all of these upgrades, my favorite upgrade has to be the construction of our new batting cage. It doesn’t matter if the field is occupied by other teams or is unplayable due to the weather conditions. Either way, we can still have a very productive practice due to our beautiful batting cage. The batting cage is crucial to fostering success out on the field in batting. It is such a luxury to have the batting cage. –Trent Wall, Class of 2019
We are so fortunate to have the support of very generous donors as well as the support of Sanford School in helping us to build a top-notch baseball facility. Our student-athletes are the benefactors of this generosity. Our original batting cage was a small enclosure on a grass slope. After significant work was completed, we wound up with a top-of-the-line, suspended tension batting cage that is safer and more efficient than our old cage. The cage itself is easily put up and taken down, and its crushed red brick creates an all-weather surface. This has become a very important part of the program we are able to offer. It rivals any batting cage facility in the state. Originally we had a three-foot split-rail outfield fence that ran from the right field foul pole out to center field. Due to the location of our field, we have a very short right field line—too short for high school baseball. With the support of donations and Sanford School, we were able to erect a 17-foot high fence that runs from the foul pole out 90 feet toward center field. This enables our field to be a more legitimate high school baseball field. The remainder of the distance is covered by an eight-foot fence, which looks great! Our previous backstop was too small and too close to home plate. It was also in disrepair and didn’t look very good. Again, with the help of donors, we erected a 17-foot high backstop, moved the backstop back from the plate, and added an additional 20 feet to the baseline fences. These improvements not only look great—they also make our field more playable. The final project, completed this past summer, was the installation of a wireless combination baseball/soccer scoreboard. This is not only functional but is also very eye-catching—not only for our athletes but also for parents and visitors as well as people driving by campus on Route 41. Without the support of our generous donors and Sanford School, we could not have completed these projects. Thank you for enabling our student-athletes to practice and play in a facility that is one of the nicest in Delaware. –Jamie Clark, Baseball Coach
