Dear Canterbury Family, According to Webster’s Dictionary, the word “milestone” means “an event or accomplishment marking a significant advance in an endeavor; a notable achievement.” This 2014-2015 school year marks not only a significant, but a special milestone for Canterbury School with the celebration of our 50th anniversary. Founded in 1964, Canterbury began as a coeducational elementary school, promoting a Christian education. After receiving accreditation from the Florida Council of Independent Schools in 1971, the school went on to become non-sectarian, dedicating itself to preparing students in a more diverse atmosphere with a college preparatory curriculum. As this marks my seventh year as Canterbury’s Head of School, I reflect on the great accomplishments our students have achieved in years past, and the standard our Canterbury students have set for future generations. That standard, which has been set by the more than 1,000 alumni, involves hard work, dedication, a commitment to serving others and the ability to become leaders among peers. Throughout the years, Canterbury’s faculty and staff have worked hard to prepare our students to succeed in all aspects of life. The proof is the Canterbury alumni who have gone on to succeed in various fields of study including law, medicine, government, education and global service.

Tony Paulus, Head of School

Our alumni are proof that Canterbury’s mission is attainable, and the four tenets upon which it is based, academic excellence, character, leadership and service, create well-prepared and well-rounded individuals who strive for personal and professional success. Derek Wu, a member of the class of 2014, recognized the dedication that he and his classmates possessed when he said,

“ Over the years we have all learned how to work with others, how to fight for what we believe in and how to create meaningful friendships with our peers. This all comes from striving to be the best and to never stop asking for more from ourselves.” As we embark on this school year, and in celebration of our 50th anniversary, it is imperative that we look ahead to the future and what lies ahead for Canterbury students. From its founding in 1964 to present day, the changes in technology, science and domestic and global affairs have affected our students inside and outside the classroom. Looking ahead to the next 50 years, as educators, administrators, parents and students, we must be prepared to embrace the accelerated pace and complexity of change that will occur. And while the world around us may change, there is one thing that will remain the same. It is what has built the foundation of our school and continues to inspire each and every student – the Canterbury mission. Sincerely,

Tony Paulus

Canterbury Welcomes

New Faculty and staff Members Frank Turco • Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach

“My vision is that Canterbury will achieve at the level it deserves to achieve. I want every sport to achieve at its absolute highest. My hope is that if we can just add one student to each sport, or multiple sports, these student-athletes will take Canterbury to another level and the program will become more dynamic.”

Peggy Fiala • Middle & Upper School Guidance Counselor “I am a solution-focused counselor. I want to work together with the student to see what their goals are, evaluate them, find out what has kept them from reaching those goals and establish ways to achieve those goals. It’s about being respectful of the students and the community.” Serhiy Pasishnyk • Upper School Chemistry Teacher

“I am a demanding teacher, but I like the interactive style of teaching. It’s like ping pong because I like the feedback and opinions of the students. I want to enforce lecture and discussion in the hopes that it will lessen the fear of chemistry among students.”

Mark Miller • Assistant Athletic Director and Head Football Coach “I embrace and enjoy the challenge of building up this football program… I want to get in the hallways and bring students onto the field and build the athletic program by recruiting 'high character' students.” Sarah Waldau • Upper School Critical Thinking Strategies Teacher

“By teaching our students ways to study and by helping them find strategies that work, I believe this course will help kids maximize their potential inside and outside the classroom.”

Andrew Wright • Upper School Dean of Students “I will model what I try to teach. I give respect and expect to receive respect back from the students. Character education is a big part of my teaching style.” Shannon Frank • English Department Chair

“My philosophy is teamwork. It’s all about getting everybody on board and hashing things out as a team.”

Marge Dougherty • Upper School Director “We are committed to excellence; we are committed to our students and want to give them the best educational experience while they are here… I plan on listening, understanding and being supportive, but also making hard decisions that are in the best interest of the students and the school.” Oliva Pazos Riaño • Lower School Spanish Teacher

“My basic goal is to learn more about the culture in 'La Florida,' and to communicate my knowledge to the students in a way that they feel attracted to and confident in using Spanish in writing, reading and speaking as appropriate to their age and level.”

Brian Kopp • Upper School English Teacher

“Great literature exists; I would want my students to see literature as a tool to help them discover new things about themselves.”

Robert Hiatt • Upper School English Teacher

“I taught at FGCU for the past few years, so the schedule and dynamics of the Upper School will be an adjustment. I’m looking forward to integrating some assignments and activities that were successful in my college classrooms here at Canterbury.”

Katrina Keene • Director of Innovation

“Learning does not need to be confined to the classroom. We must involve parents, provide professional development and see what is trending in technology. Our kids speak a different language when it comes to technology and we must be able to speak it as well.”

Canterbury would also like to welcome Karen Cox, Human Resources Manager; Willie Eyre, Administrative Assistant to Athletics; Michael Haughey, Middle School Science Teacher; and Jennifer Stephenson, Lower School Digital Integration Teacher. 4

Message from the

Board Dear Canterbury Family,

Serving as the 2013-14 Canterbury Board co-chairs, we are astounded by the caliber of students, faculty and staff who are proud to call themselves members of the Canterbury family. Throughout the years, Canterbury’s commitment and determination has not waivered, and it is evident by the continued success of our students, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the unending support from our Canterbury parents and volunteers. As we prepare to celebrate Canterbury’s 50th anniversary, we must ask ourselves the question, “What does the next 50 years look like?” Canterbury was created on a firm foundation that aims to provide students with a college preparatory curriculum, set in an atmosphere that will prepare them for what lies beyond graduation. Its mission and four tenets, academic excellence, character, leadership and service, serve as a compass for every student who enters Canterbury School. This past spring, we witnessed 47 intelligent and dedicated graduates walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, each student serving as a representative of Canterbury and its mission. What the future holds for Canterbury is continued success, not only for its students, but for its faculty, staff and supportive community. As we have seen over the last 50 years, change is inevitable; however, the opportunities presented by change are what Canterbury can look forward to in its next 50 years. Whether it is through growth, expansion or innovation, opportunity lies around every corner and it is our job to seize it, capitalize on it and ensure its success. In celebration of Canterbury’s 50th anniversary, we encourage you to think ahead to the future and help us take Canterbury to the next level. This is a momentous occasion for Canterbury and we invite you to help us honor the achievements of years past and celebrate the years to come. Sincerely, Charles Idelson Parent of Jennifer ’01 and Monica ’03 Anna Smith Parent of Wyatt ’13 and Morgan ’17

2014-2015

New Board Members Lori May

Moving from San Diego, CA to Fort Myers in 2007, Lori May has been involved with Canterbury for seven years. Since the fall of 2007, May joined the Parents’ Association, creating friendships with fellow Canterbury parents and aiding in various fundraisers for the school. May has two sons, Matt, a senior at Canterbury, and Andrew, a 2013 Canterbury alumnus. As the Parents’ Association representative for the Board of Trustees in 2013-14, she said, “I was happy to stay on this year as a regular member of the board and am looking forward to being a steward of the school for the next three years…Canterbury has been a great school for the last 50 years and I want to help it continue to thrive for the next 50 years.” May goes on to explain, “Canterbury has provided my sons with a great education and they have been taught by fantastic teachers who truly want their students to succeed. I really care about Canterbury. I am excited about being able to serve the school during the 50th anniversary and to be able to give back to our community.”

Ellis Rabinowitz

Ellis Rabinowitz joined the Canterbury family in 2008. His son, Alex, graduated with the class of 2014 and is one of Canterbury’s newest alumni members. “Canterbury is a great school, and it was an especially great school for Alex. When we moved here and started looking for a school, we liked Canterbury very much and knew we had made a great choice. Canterbury allowed Alex to reach his maximum potential,” he said. In response to his decision to join the Board of Trustees, he explained, “I want to help keep and improve the school so that Canterbury can do for other children what it did for my son, Alex.”

Bridget Dwyer-Crowley

A member of the Canterbury family for four years, Bridget Dwyer-Crowley has two children, one of whom is in second grade. A graduate from the University of Florida, she has a background in banking and spent 10 years working as a commercial lender before running a development and property management firm. When asked how she felt being nominated to the Board of Trustees, she said, “I hope to add some value to this impressive group and certainly understand the responsibility we as a board have been entrusted with by the parents and student body of Canterbury…I look forward to seeing how my experience can help the financial efficiencies of Canterbury.” Growing up in Fort Myers in a family of 12 children, she understands the closeness one feels to a community, saying, “As a family, we find our connectivity to this small town to be very beneficial in getting things done, so, perhaps that might also be helpful in some capacity to my new role on the board.”

Todd Caruso

Todd Caruso joined the Canterbury family seven years ago, with his two children, Taylor and Ty. With Taylor in the Intermediate School and Ty in the Lower School, his decision to become more involved with the school led him to express interest in joining Canterbury’s Board of Trustees. Caruso is no stranger to serving on Canterbury committees. From 2011-2012 and from 2012-2013, he served as a member of the Carnival committee. Excited about the 201415 school year and the 50th anniversary celebration, he admits that as a board member, “I’m just looking forward to trying to help in any way that I can.”

Suzanne Boy

Suzanne Boy, a native of Southwest Florida, is enthusiastic about her first involvement with Canterbury School. Prior to joining the Henderson, Franklin, Starnes and Holt Law Firm, Boy was a distinguished student at the University of Florida where she went on to study law at Stetson University College of Law. She recognizes hard work and saw that joining the Board of Trustees was a great opportunity to help guide the school in a positive direction. “I am excited to help out the community in a different capacity than I usually do as a lawyer.” Boy is excited to learn as much as she can about Canterbury’s mission and its priorities, along with meeting fellow board members with whom she wishes to work to move the school forward over the next 50 years.

Joe Gammons

New to Canterbury is Joe Gammons, president and owner of Office Furniture and Design Concepts of Fort Myers. Introduced to Canterbury six months ago, Gammons played a significant role in the planning and creation of the Middle School Cougar Den. When asked what led him to join the Board of Trustees, Gammons cites fellow board member Charles Idelson. In helping to catapult Canterbury to the next level of innovation, the discussion of joining the Board of Trustees began between the two men, leading Gammons to become a member of the board.

Sara Stensrud

A member of the Canterbury community for more than five years, Sara Stensrud has one daughter, Samantha, who is in seventh grade. Dedicating several years to the fashion industry, Stensrud resides in Fort Myers where she serves as the executive vice president and chief human resources officer of Chico’s FAS, Inc. When asked how she felt being nominated to Canterbury’s Board of Trustees, she said, “The board is a group of extremely dedicated people who care deeply about private education in Southwest Florida. I am honored to join this group for I feel that as a team we can make a huge difference in the community as a whole, as well as bettering our school in the process.” Stensrud looks forward to helping the school by fundraising and attracting more students to Canterbury. “I am very excited for the opportunity to help shape the future of the school as we move on to the next 50 years of education.”

Ron Toll

Ron Toll, an esteemed educator in Southwest Florida, is excited to reach out into the community by joining Canterbury’s Board of Trustees. After living in Fort Myers for more than six years, Toll has witnessed Canterbury School flourish in its potential. Serving as the vice president for academic affairs at Florida Gulf Coast University, he wishes to help guide the school in a positive direction. “I was invited to join the Board of Trustees and thought that my background in higher education would be a valuable asset to Canterbury’s rigorous pre-collegiate program.” As a new member of the board, Toll is motivated to learn as much as he can about Canterbury’s future plans and visions.

Canterbury Celebrates By Marnie Paulus

“ Those unable to catalog the past are doomed to repeat it.” Lemony Snicket, The End

As an organization, Canterbury School is concluding its first 50 years. This milestone anniversary provides an opportunity to remember the founding families and their founding values, seek stories from the major constituent groups, gather historical documents, and strengthen the community through a collaborative endeavor. It’s a teachable moment, reminding us of the special ethos, core values and academic excellence envisioned by the founders and implemented by faculty, staff and students. A written historical document will be a tangible gift to our stakeholders, will further shape and strengthen the identity of the school, and will provide institutional memory, a critical step toward accomplishing long-term consistency. Soon after he was appointed Canterbury School’s 13th Head of School, Tony Paulus asked me to research and write the history of Canterbury School to celebrate the 50th anniversary in 2014-2015. Rather than a dry, linear recounting of Canterbury School with pertinent facts and dates, this oral and written history will explore the complexities and joys involved in founding, attending, educating, learning, leading, following, inspiring, hiring, admitting and retaining the individuals who make and have made Canterbury School burst with energy. It’s important to set the story within the broader context of Fort Myers and U.S. history and educational philosophy. It will be a story about

the relationships that span past, present and future. It will also impart stories that not only evoke the five senses but give the reader those “aha” moments. Wait until you read Al Frierson’s story about how the school was saved from the brink of disaster by a young, strategic, committed newcomer to the board, David Lucas. Honoring the request of Dr. Ronald Young and a few alumni, instead of a “warm and fuzzy” history, it will be a well-documented account of well-meaning people who for the most part tried to do their best for Canterbury School. It is important to capture the voices and memories of our founders, leaders and alumni while they are still with us, and interview their families and colleagues if they are not. From their reminiscences emerges a collective community of memory that will educate and inform current and future generations. For example, did you know that our first two school heads were women? Interviewing Clark Grimsley, the son of Berneice Grimsley, introduced me to our founding headmistress and her surprising background teaching students with learning differences. We also hope this project will serve as a baseline for future Canterbury School histories, because we have compiled an archive consisting of 117 interviews, the Hal Howard, Annette Morroni, David Lucas and Amanda Cross archives, research from Kathryn Wilbur and Peg Bartels, yearbooks, magazines, periodicals, board minutes, financial reports and files from the Florida

50 Years Council of Independent Schools in Tampa. This archive resides in the Ellenberg Library and will be available for supervised research purposes at the end of the 2015 school year. When one thinks of a family that has embraced the core values of Canterbury School, the Gluhm family immediately comes to mind. Chérie Gluhm started in 1978, went on maternity leave in February 1979 and returned 1½ years later. Having observed 14 changes in school leadership, if we count Hal Howard’s interim and her own participation in the Steering Committee after Frank Romano’s tragic death, I respect that she eschewed school politics. Instead, Chérie chose to focus on educating children in an experiential manner, providing them with dedicated teachers, unusual field trips, live plants and animals, and the chance to develop their creative potential in a supportive environment. When money was tight, she gathered volunteers to paint a classroom that had green grass, a sun and a blue sky. “Sue Doehne, Debbie Blue, Linda Thomas and Sharon Curiel did the clouds for me. We just kept at it. We got it done in a week’s time,” remembers Chérie. She also has wonderful memories of behind-thescenes field trips to Disney World and an exchange with the Seminoles. All three of her children participated in the history project, writing about the example set by their parents and how their Canterbury experience has impacted their lives. “Mom and Dad are both highly educated

themselves. They wanted the best education for all of us. I don’t think any of us, my sister, brother or I, ever considered any other school because nothing at the time compared to the learning environment that Canterbury provided. Even as a competitive high school athlete with close friends/teammates who were from other schools, I never considered going anywhere else because it was obvious being around them that Canterbury was a much better place to be if I wanted a higher level of excellence academically and all around,” contributed Alana Gluhm Gehring ‘97. “My Canterbury education is the best gift my parents could have given me,” wrote Sean Gluhm ‘92. Nicole Gluhm Quinlan ‘89 penned this statement, “Honestly, I don’t think I truly appreciated all that Canterbury had to offer until I was a freshman in college. Within a few weeks of new classes, new professors and new challenges, I finally

Gluhm Family

realized how prepared I was for all of it, and how much Canterbury had 100 percent influenced my readiness (along with the support of my parents, of course).” Former Parents’ Association president Linda Taylor recalls that when her daughter, Terri, attended the University of Virginia, her classmates were amazed at her disciplined study habits. Terri explained to them that

Save the Date!

she learned those habits from her fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Gluhm. “She taught them outstanding study habits that have followed them throughout their lives,” marveled Linda. Alumni and teachers alike articulated the magic in Dr. Frank Gluhm’s science classes. “He was teaching 7th grade science. Because he was a veterinarian, by the time the kids were in 6th or 7th grade, we didn’t need sex education because he taught reproduction of cats, frogs, dogs, cattle and then the kids would do dissections,” remembers Barbara Bacon. Both personally and professionally, this has been a fascinating but complex project because of many gaps in Canterbury’s records. For example, we don’t have a list of the first 38 students or board minutes from 1967 to 1971. I am eternally grateful to Lou Ann Ozboyaci and Guy Slifko for discovering the 1964-1967 board minutes in the electrical closet, and here I would put in a plea to digitize any and all school records before recycling them from now on. I am very thankful, first to Svea Scott who started at Canterbury in 1964 and provided a glimpse into the early years of the school, second to Mollie Turner who has toiled to organize, file and digitize hundreds if not thousands of critical school documents, and third to the many contributors who shared their tales and insights about the school. There have been many twists and turns in Canterbury’s history but rest assured that the information in the book has all been documented. I’ll finish the book at the end of 2014 and then together, with my editor, Newt Barrett, will work with Amazon to create an eBook in both color and black and white available in time for the 50th anniversary gala in 2015. n

Graduation Speech by Derek Wu Mr. Paulus, Ms. Dougherty, board members, faculty, family, and most importantly the Class of 2014 — thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. It is an honor to represent this amazing class. I have been blessed with the love and support of my wonderful family. My mom and dad, who came over from China, always had a very simple saying for me after I received any type of grade. They would ask, “Why not better?” I have to admit that it was frustrating to hear those words after a 98% on a math test. But, I know those words were never a reprimand. It was just a question that was meant as motivation for #perfection. The path to perfection, though nearly impossible, is used more as a goal to encourage progress. Without a goal in mind, there is no way to get better. The class of 2014 has always strived to be better. Whether it’s perfecting our cup song at 11 p.m. on #Sundayfunday the weekend before the competition or adding that last comment into our reader’s response notebook about the effect of Hamlet’s soliloquy, we strived for success. While many might think that these late night endeavors may be a result of procrastination, in reality it was an example of our class going that extra mile to be the best we could be. All of the students in the class of 2014 are goal-oriented and driven #competitive. That’s why I think the mantra “why not better” fits so well. The last four years with the class of 2014 has shown me how competitive we all are. I have never seen the competitiveness of our class as a negative quality, but rather as a tool to improve ourselves as well as the community. Many of us played multiple sports, as well as participated in academic competitions like science fair, history fair or math team. On top of that, for some reason, we decided to take the hardest classes possible? So instead of going to the beach and being “reckless teenagers,” we decided to spend our time solving for x, memorizing the periodic table of elements, and pondering what it really means “to be or not to be.” All of the time and energy invested

Class of 2014

in our academics and extracurriculars didn’t stop us from achieving some of the best ACT and SAT scores. Furthermore, many of us are attending some of the top universities in the nation, to receive the best education #wegood. The class of 2014 has been performing a juggling act for the past four years. But the competitive fire that comes from our passion to be the best has motivated each and every one of us to do our best. While on our quest to achieve perfection, I have noticed how our bonds as a class have been strengthened #community. Indelible memories and unbreakable friendships are products of our never-ending road to perfection. We continually ask more from ourselves and pull out every last ounce of motivation to get the job done. In many cases, our accomplishments have impacted the Canterbury community—such as the first football state championship, the first top 20 ranking in Model UN and the first year of the house system. Some of our teachers and parents have thought that we were “stretched too thin” with all of our extracurriculars. But it’s been a mixture of passion and conviction that has pushed us through the late nights and the cram sessions. We have always had a tremendous ability to perform any task that we put our minds to; concurrently, we have felt a responsibility to give back to the community that has done so much for us. Whether the task involves planting a school garden, helping to organize a group of service volunteers, or even just showing our school spirit, #spiritaward our class continually asks more from ourselves to give back to others. The day of the ECS vs. Canterbury home volleyball game, the question around the senior lockers wasn’t whether or not we were going but rather what time we were going to show up. No matter the amount of homework or the amount of fluff needed to be added to that 300 word ICW, everyone wanted to stand, to chant in the cage and to support the volleyball team #GETINTHECAGE Eat that wood, What did the five fingers say to

“ To the class of 2014 as you take your last steps in Canterbury out towards the exit, do not be afraid to take risks and always reach for perfection while enjoying the journey that you’re on. I am proud to call you all my friends and I wish you good luck in all of your journeys wherever life may take you.”

the ball, or Sweet Caroline, all came from the united students and many of the seniors left with a very hoarse voice. Another question I know many students hear when they get home is “what did you learn at school today?” I, along with many of my fellow classmates probably answer with a simple “ehh” or “nothing much.” But really, we could have gone on for hours about the wealth of knowledge we were exposed to by our amazing and passionate teachers. #PettisPhysicsGod, aka Mr. Pettis taught us how to measure the speed of a solid sphere that rolled down a ramp to hit a spring. #Youngmoney, Dr. Young taught us about the origins of the earliest civilizations and the rise and fall of the great empires. But Canterbury has taught us more than that, by taking the tools around us and using them to the best of our abilities, we have learned so much more than just what’s in a textbook. Over the years, we have all learned how to work with others, how to fight for what we believe in and how to create meaningful friendships with our peers. This all comes from striving to be the best and to never stop asking for more from ourselves. Our four years at Canterbury have been the first step in our continual journey of self-discovery. Mr. Loughran always says “go on input” and I can sincerely say that this class has gone above and beyond to get where we are today.

It’s time to end our years as high schoolers #theend. We are all nervous about the untold events that our future may hold. But I think that’s the joy of living life. I distinctly remember Ms. Dougherty’s speech at the National Honor Society ceremony. She spoke of her life-altering journey when she decided to sell her house and head out into the world with a backpack and the clothes on her back. I wanted to incorporate a life event like that in this speech, but I don’t think I’ve had one yet. We are all just barely adults. There is just so much more to do, learn and experience. So live life to the fullest while continuing to strive for perfection. We need to use our tools and our self-motivation to take our lives to higher limits. I leave you now with a quote from Phillip Morris, a famous Welsh philosopher and soccer coach, who said, “I am sad to leave, but excited to start a new chapter in my life.” I think he shares the same sentiments as all of us…ready to start the next stage of our lives. So…to the class of 2014 as you take your last steps in Canterbury out towards the exit, do not be afraid to take risks and always reach for perfection while enjoying the journey that you’re on. I am proud to call you all my friends and I wish you good luck in all of your journeys wherever life may take you. #CyaClassof2014. n

Canterbury Furthers

STEM Curriculum with New Science Discovery Center For 50 years, Canterbury School has continued its pursuit of educational excellence and innovation through new methods of observation, teaching and learning. Where rows of desks, a chalkboard and a front of the classroom teacher were once the model, it is now being replaced with interactive whiteboards, mobile furniture, hands-on learning projects and teacher-student collaboration. Working to implement and integrate a Pre-K through 12th grade STEM project-based curriculum, in the fall of 2014, members of Canterbury’s Lower School faculty and staff plan to unveil a new state-ofthe-art Science Discovery Center. Canterbury’s STEM initiative will be completely driven by philanthropic support. Understanding the importance of this initiative, an anonymous Canterbury donor provided an initial gift to begin the process. A Pre-K -12 STEM project-based curriculum is a dynamic approach to teaching in an environment that allows students to explore everyday problems and challenges. Students at all grade levels will have the opportunity to create, innovate and experiment. Recognizing Canterbury’s efforts, the school recently received a $25,000 grant from The Benedict Foundation toward its STEM initiative, with the stipulation of a 4:1 match requirement, which requires the school to raise $100,000. “For 2014, only the strongest, high impact and mission-supported requests could be funded,” said Peter B. Benedict, II, president of The Benedict Foundation. In an effort to keep up with the growing trends and technological advances of a 21st century learning environment, the new Center will serve as one of the three key project-based learning environments planned for Canterbury School. “This new Center will provide students with the tools needed to excel far beyond our current boundaries. Students will be able to imagine and become immersed in a unique learning landscape,” said Chérie Gluhm, director of the Lower School. In discussions with Lower School science teacher, Dr. Michael Lund, he and Gluhm set objectives for the Center, which include explorations in science, technology, engineering and math. The Center will have three key concept areas: robotics, astronomy and architecture/engineering. For the past two years, Lund’s use of robots in the classroom has generated excitement and popularity among the students. Due to its current usage in the curriculum, as well as its ability to teach students how to invent and take chances, the decision was made to make robotics the first lab available in the Science Discovery Center. As the initial focus, robotics incorporates each STEM requirement. Through science, students learn that robots utilize sensors, connect wires and construct beams. Through technology, they learn how the actions of a robot are controlled by computer programs. Our students will discover how to build robots and how to measure its inputs and outputs, thus the inclusion of engineering and math. The second phase of the Center will include the development of the architecture/engineering area. Enabling young children to perform hands-on activities, students will learn about math concepts, measurements, how to use technology and construct various engineering elements. The final phase will be the astronomy lab. Meeting the criteria of math and science, students will explore “opportunities beyond earth.” Seeking this as an opportunity to engage all Canterbury students, Gluhm and her team hope to see the first phase completed by November 2014; however, full completion of the Science Discovery Center is yet to be determined. “We want a Science Center where students can create, collaborate

“ Education needs to be geared toward the HANDLING of data rather than the ACCUMULATION of data.”

and problem-solve in a state-of-the art space. The Center will support project-based, hands-on learning activities. Such engagement promotes a culture of understanding enabling students to explore and work on potential solutions. Robotics is an ideal venue for our students,” said Gluhm.

Canterbury’s STEM initiative is changing the way students learn in the classroom. As we continue to incorporate new tools and techniques, it is the philanthropic support of those who give that make it possible. As we work to meet the $100,000 match requirement, we would like to thank those who are making our school’s STEM initiative a reality. n

Encouraging Healthy Competition and School Spirit, Canterbury Adopts

House System

In the spring of 2013, the idea was brought forth to incorporate a House System at Canterbury. Often, when one hears the words “House System,” immediately, images from Harry Potter appear complete with colored scarves and students riding around on broomsticks. However, that was not the mindset of the Head of School, Tony Paulus, and the former Dean of Students, Phil Morris. Dating back more than 100 years, the House System is a staple within schools throughout the United Kingdom. It is a way to bring students of all ages together to create school-

wide unity, provide leadership opportunities and encourage participation in healthy competition. “When Tony asked me if I had heard of something called the ‘House System,’ I knew exactly what he was talking about. I grew up in the United Kingdom attending schools that had House Systems in place,” said Phil Morris, former dean of students. Traveling to Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, IN, Paulus and Morris observed the school’s version of the House System, speaking with students and house deans to gather thoughts and opinions. Taking the reins on the project, Morris presented the findings to members of SAG as well as Paulus’ leadership class, remarking that if Canterbury was to adopt a house system, it must be driven by the students. By the end of December 2013, students in Paulus’ leadership class created a detailed presentation outlining house names, types of competitions, the 20

inclusion of a point system and the leadership opportunities provided to students. “The idea of the house system is to generate spirit and excitement among the student population,” said Morris. In this system, there are four houses: Lambda, Omicron, Sigma and Upsilon. Each house is represented by one senior to serve on the executive board. This year’s executive board members include Kelly Fay (Upsilon), Darby Pfeifer (Sigma), Randy Richardson (Lambda) and Varun Varshney (Omicron). The supporting diagram shows the complete makeup of the House System and how many students serve on each committee. Three additional seniors who are elected from each house will serve on the finance, communications and social committees. The House Board will plan all house competitions, the Social Board will plan all dance and social events, the Finance Board will serve as treasurers and the Communications Board will provide news updates and plenty of school spirit. Four students from each house, and each grade level, 7-11, will serve on the four committees. This will generate 25 student leaders within each house, totaling 100 individual leadership positions. For example, four seventh grade students in Lambda, four seventh grade students in Omicron, four seventh grade students in Sigma and four seventh grade students in Upsilon will be divided up with each serving on a different committee. In the fall, students from the Middle and Upper Schools will be placed, at random, within a house; however, all siblings will be placed together. Students will remain in the same house throughout the duration of their time at Canterbury. Once placement is complete, each house will be given 2,000 points at the start of the school year and the activities will begin. Each semester, there will be three events in the categories of academics, athletics and the arts. Individual categories will have 1,000 points available for students to achieve. Three thousand points will be available during the week of Homecoming as a way to encourage participation and school spirit. Throughout the year, students will have

the opportunity to earn points by attending home sporting events as well as school plays; however, points will be deducted if a student breaks school rules. They will then be given a blue slip. In the spring, the points accumulated from each house will carry over into the all-encompassing Field Day, which tests students’ abilities in academics, athletics and various games. The house with the most points at the end of Field Day will receive the House Cup. “There is so much potential with this program. The house system will help build community, generate spirit and create a sense of excitement among the student population.

It is a program that would be unique to Canterbury and will hopefully sustain for years to come,” said Morris. Looking to the future, Morris adds that the plan is to slowly include the Lower and Intermediate Schools; the school would have them vie for the House Shield. “Depending upon the amount of participation by the students this coming year, if the house system thrives, there may be a chance that the Intermediate School will be brought in at the end of the first semester. However, it may not be until the 2015-2016 school year that we integrate the Lower and Intermediate Schools into the house system,” Morris added. n

Canterbury Unveils New

Cougar Den and Upper School Canterbury School unveiled its newly designed and furnished Upper School classroom and Middle School Cougar Den, an active learning environment, during two ribbon cutting ceremonies on April 14. At the forefront of innovation, Canterbury was awarded a $75,000 grant from Steelcase Education Solutions and a supplemental grant of $30,000 from Office Furniture and Design Concepts of Fort Myers, and is changing the way students and teachers collaborate and engage in a new learning landscape.

“The furniture encourages conversation and movement. This new space gives permission to students to behave differently,” said Marissa Sergnese, Director of Professional Development for Steelcase. Head of School Tony Paulus welcomed students, faculty, staff and members of Steelcase, Office Furniture and Design Concepts of Fort Myers and Entech, Canterbury’s technology service provider, to view the only active learning environment in Southwest Florida. “What you see is a powerful vision that our Intermediate and Middle School Director, Jackie Lentini, had after observing the differences in how children learn. This space is truly a transformational reality and both the Upper School classroom 22

and Middle School Cougar Den will have a huge impact on 21st century learning at Canterbury,” Paulus said. The Upper School classroom features mobile furniture including Nodes, chairs that quickly and easily transition the space into a team building setting. In addition to the nodes, the teacher is provided with what is known as a Verb table. This specialized workstation provides ample storage and movement, allowing the teacher to collaborate with students and provide instruction that adapts to the nature of the lesson. Representing a 21st century learning environment, the Cougar Den removes the rigid classroom atmosphere of rowed seating and instead, provides students and teachers with accessible technology and movement that fosters creativity, innovation and academic excellence. The Cougar Den’s two separate areas, within an open space, provide ample room for the 100 middle school students and 17 faculty members who will use the area. While one area may be used by smaller groups for team projects, the other area provides interactive learning with the use of touchscreens; interactive, mobile whiteboards and huddleboards; and a mobile, folding easel marker board. Entech generously provided all the needed infrastructure, technology integration and flat screen monitors for the space. “Canterbury has never shied away from technology. This new area is an ideal fit for the school and a way to transform a learning environment with technology,” said Jake Spanberger, President of Entech. Other areas of technology and furniture featured in the Cougar Den include two eno Interactive Whiteboards, which combine a magnetic surface and dry erase interactive board for easy usage by the teacher and student. The boards also contain removable magnetic strips and stylus pens, which are paired to each board’s particular computer. A large mediascape area with laptops and a large screen entices the teacher and

Classroom students to engage and collaborate in an entirely new way. “The main purpose for this area is for co-creation of content,” Steelcase’s Sergnese said. Removing the individual leadership role, students and teachers can now sit in a comfortable seating area and contribute to a project as a group instead of individually. “This space is going to allow for much more collaboration with my students,” said Middle School civics teacher Marlena Elmore. “I am an advocate for encouraging students to ask questions and work together. Instead of being the sole instructor, my role will now be as a facilitator and guide.” As students observed the new active learning environment, it was evident that the new technology was not the only item of interest. Apart from the node chairs, students will now have access to i2i chairs. Designed to foster teamwork and creativity, the chairs are equipped with a small writing surface and swivel capability to allow students and teachers more flexibility while remaining engaged in the lesson. “I love the new area. It is much different than it used to be. Because so many people worked hard to make this all happen, I think it will inspire others to work even harder to get something like this,” said eighth grade class president Emily Landfried. A live classroom demonstration in mathematics was presented by middle school teacher Caren Speier. The active learning style and collaboration between students and teachers was evident through the use of new technology within her lesson. “This is going to allow for endless possibilities. There are so many opportunities for students to collaborate on academic terms,” Speier said. As Southwest Florida’s only active learning environment, Steelcase will provide Canterbury students and faculty with a post occupancy evaluation survey. This survey will allow members of Steelcase to gather valuable research and data, and evaluate the outcome and usage of Canterbury’s new Cougar Den.

BEFORE AFTER

Steelcase awards just four of these grants nationwide and Canterbury prevailed over two Florida universities to win this grant.

“ Canterbury was chosen because of its leadership and commitment to innovation,” said Joe Gammons, President and CEO of Office Furniture and Design Concepts.

“This is an opportunity to showcase to other schools and universities the kind of environment kids are learning in today.”

Canterbury Adds

New Enrichment Programs for Lower School Students

Starting this fall, Canterbury will offer a variety of new enrichment programs for students in the Lower School. Taught by Alicia Persichilli, for six weeks, students in kindergarten and first grade will have the opportunity to participate in Digital Storytelling. Limited to only eight students, the program will enable children to create and write stories with illustrations using various art supplies. Upon completion, students will not only use an iPad and Book Creator to create a digital book, which will be shared with fellow classmates, but they will receive a hard bound version of their book to take home. Another six-week enrichment program that will be offered is Once Upon a Time. Taught by Sarah Waldau, the program, which is limited to 16 students, allows second and third graders to read classic versions of six fairy tales, then participate in a related hands-on activity. Presenting students with the opportunity to enrich their minds through reading, conversations, vocabulary, listening and creating, the sessions will create a “whole language experience.” As a way of incorporating sports into the Lower School, a soccer enrichment program will also be available. In the fall, for five weeks, 25 students in kindergarten and first grade will learn the basics of soccer, receiving a t-shirt and soccer ball. In the spring, the program will be available to 25 second and third graders. This will be taught by Danielle Christensen and Kathryn DeMars and will last for five weeks. There is a fee to participate in Canterbury’s new enrichment programs. All programs will occur on Wednesdays so as not to interfere with any of the after school clubs. Programs will be offered from 2:45-4:00 p.m. and sign-up will begin in September.

Parents’ Association 2013-2014 The “Mad Science” Book Fair raised an estimated $18,000 to provide books for the school’s classrooms and libraries. Volunteers devoted many hours preparing for school donations of food and wrapping 76 Thanksgiving Boxes for the holidays. The boxes of food were donated to the Nations Association for distribution to needy local families. The Science Fair committee organized this year’s Science Fair, which consisted of 112 students participating in grades 3-12. A school-wide event, Canterbury celebrated its 30th annual Marathon, which raised $14,800 for local charities. This year’s recipients included Autism Speaks, Harry Chapin Food Bank, Make a Wish and Quality Life Center of Southwest Florida. Field Day was reinstated this year and the PA and Dads' Club provided snacks and assisted with lunch at this event at the school. Canterbury faculty and staff enjoyed the popular Faculty/Staff Appreciation Luncheon this year. Food and drinks were donated and displayed throughout the PAC, and the Hawaiian theme was a big success. In an effort to help teachers in the Lower and Intermediate Schools, parent volunteers worked twice a month on projects requested by teachers. At the Parent-to-Parent Used Book Sale, parents sold books and/or bought used books for the upcoming school year. This was one of our busiest years ever! The newest addition to Canterbury, the Dads' Club, organized several fun events and has been helpful with the set up and clean-up of school events throughout the year. Their assistance in car line on Mondays has been great for the staff. The School Store was open three times each week to provide PE uniforms and spirit apparel for the community. The PA provided binders, including a school calendar and a directory for all parents last school year. Each year, the PA will update the information and distribute this to the community. Also, the PA set up a candy bar to welcome new and returning students on the meet and greet day before school began.

A Successful Year for the Cougar Golf Classic

COUGA

CLUB

ATHLETI

It was a beautiful day for a game of golf as Canterbury School supporters took to the course for the Cougar Athletic Club’s annual Cougar Golf Classic on Sunday, May 18. The Cougar Athletic Club is comprised of parents and friends of Canterbury School who have a sincere interest in improving the Canterbury experience through excellence in athletics. Our goal is to have each scholar athlete achieve his or her maximum potential while optimizing school spirit. Held at Crown Colony Golf & Country Club, golfers arrived at 7:30 a.m. for registration and a continental breakfast before dividing into foursomes and heading to the greens. Canterbury golfers and volunteers were pleased with the outcome of the weather, complete with the sun shining and a continuous breeze, making for a pleasant day. With 124 players, the golf course was filled with Canterbury spirit. Parents, faculty, staff, students and Canterbury supporters could be seen playing golf, driving beverage carts, taking pictures or coordinating the day’s events. It was certainly a collaborative effort on behalf of all those involved. As the golfers finished their games, everyone gathered inside for a delicious lunch and silent auction. As students carried around bid sheets for various auction items, Canterbury Athletic Club volunteers tabulated the points for each team of golfers. The winning team included Bill Shuck, Justin Yoerger, Keith Lewis and Paul Bode. Each member of the winning team won a foursome for golf at Crown Colony Golf & Country Club. This year’s proceeds from the golf tournament and silent auction helped to fund a new electronic scoreboard and sound system for Harper Field, as well as a new sound system for the Murphy Sports Center. The Cougar Athletic Club would like to thank our Presenting Sponsor: Coconut Point Ford. A very special thank you to our additional sponsors: Orthopedic Specialists of Southwest Florida, Val Ward Cadillac, Galeana Chrysler/Galeana Automotive Group, Matter Brothers Furniture, Charles Schwab, Orthopedic Center of Florida, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, Murder Mystery Dinner Train, Norwich Partners, Five County Insurance, Pfeifer Realty Group, AdvantaIRA, Merrill Lynch, The Rosellini Family, and Azul Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa.

Character/Sportsmanship Not only do our students possess Canterbury pride inside the classroom, but it carries onto the field. The proof is in the achievements made by our athletic teams. District championship winners this past year included Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball, Girls Tennis and Girls Lacrosse. Our Boys Baseball team won a state playoff, and the media took note of our great achievements by presenting us with three Coach of the Year titles with one senior winning Player of the Year.

Leading the Way A high level of character and leadership can be seen in Canterbury students. Whether it is in the decisions they make or the camaraderie they show toward fellow classmates and teammates, both tenets are evident at Canterbury. This past year, three students were awarded National Merit Scholarships and our Mock Trial team made an excellent showing at the Lee County Mock Trial. Other ways our Canterbury Cougars displayed outstanding character and leadership: ›› Four finalists for the 2014 National Merit Scholarship ›› Three awarded 2014 National Merit Scholarships ›› Best large delegation (1st place) at UCF’s KnightMUN XII Conference ›› Best small delegation (1st place) at Vanderbilt University MUN Conference ›› Model United Nations won 1st place for small delegation in GatorMUN XI ›› Students lead school-wide Field Day Canterbury achieved first place, best prosecution witness, best defense witness and the professionalism prize at the Lee County Mock Trial

The Ways We Serve In 2013-2014, Canterbury students performed 10,000+ hours of community service. Canterbury students are serving the community through various organizations, such as: ›› ›› ›› ››

Canterbury Summer Camp Lee Memorial Health System Canterbury Peer Mentoring Harry Chapin Food Bank

›› Salvation Army ›› Sanibel Coastal Cleanup ›› Canterbury Ambassadors

Service, which is one of the four tenets of the Canterbury mission, plays an integral role in a student’s experience while at Canterbury. As a way to encourage students to give back and provide service to others, two teachers in the Lower School have joined together with Nations Association to give Canterbury students a chance to help those in need. Founded in 1978, Rev. Dr. Israel Suárez started Nations Association with the plan to help troubled teens. Shortly after, the organization grew to helping families in need. “When you meet Dr. Suárez, you truly feel like you’ve been blessed,” said Kathy Gilstad, a Canterbury third grade teacher. Gilstad and fellow third grade teacher, Ronda Garner, serve as the lead coordinators for Canterbury’s service projects in conjunction with Nations Association. “The core of the organization is family and it is very hands-on,” added Gilstad. Some of the service projects that Gilstad and Garner coordinate include: ›› Thanksgiving Food Drive – Students, parents and Canterbury faculty and staff collect food and money, filling boxes of food for families in need. The boxes are meant to provide families with enough food for the week of Thanksgiving. Lower School students often sing at the Nations office and Upper School students help stock shelves with non-perishable food items. ›› Fill the Stockings – Canterbury students, parents, faculty and staff donate various items to help fill stockings for boys and girls during the holiday season. Items donated often include crayons, baseball cards, marbles, stickers, watercolors, small games and books, hair ribbons, candy canes and much more. Last year, Canterbury third graders sang at Denny’s Classic Diner to kick-off the holiday toy drive. ›› Sock Drive – Last year, more than 4,700 socks were collected by Canterbury students. Socks for men, women, girls, boys and infants were brought in to be donated.

“It’s a great organization that we are proud to help. Their motto is that ‘it’s not a hand out, it’s a hand up,’ which means that they are here to help get families back on their feet, whether it is with food, mentoring, financial assistance or job placement,” said Gilstad.

Our Creative Spirit The arts are alive and well at Canterbury, and the number of students participating in band, drama, choir and art continues to grow. Not only do we have students participating in the Distinguished Artists Program, but our students performed exceptionally well in both theater productions: “Exit the Body” and “The Music Man.” Canterbury’s band students received superior and excellent ratings by the Florida Bandmasters Association, and our art students performed at their best at the Ninth Annual Art Contest. Other ways Canterbury students have shown their creative spirit: ›› ›› ›› ›› ›› ›› ›› ›› ›› ››

Four students received awards at the Art Under 20 visual art exhibit Thespians received seven excellent and one superior ratings, awarded at the State Festival Thirty-five students in the Distinguished Artists program Florida Bandmasters Association selected one student for All State Concert Band Superior rating at State Solo and Ensemble Florida Bandmasters Association awarded excellent rating to US Wind Ensemble Music at the Parks Band Competition – first place in Concert Band II and second place in Concert Band I Two excellent and two superior ratings in the District Solo and Ensemble Ninth Annual Art Contest – two first places, two second places, one third place and three honorable mentions Lee County Library System Bookmark Contest – one first place and one honorable mention

Canterbury Prepared Cheryl Johnson '08 for Career in Criminal Justice Most people recognize the infamous sound that signals the beginning of the TV show “Law & Order.” The quick noise that sounds much like a gavel hitting its base and echoing through a courtroom is what captured the attention of alumna Cheryl Johnson ’08. From a young age, Johnson’s fascination for the criminal justice system and why criminals do what they do led her to pursue a path filled with research, analysis and statistics. This path led her to where she is today; pursuing her master’s degree in criminal justice at Radford University. “I remember my mom telling me I couldn’t watch shows like ‘Law & Order,’ but sneaking off to my bedroom to watch anyway. I was fascinated by the story lines and wondering why criminals performed the acts they did,” she said. Carrying this passion with her at Canterbury, Johnson was presented with the opportunity to participate in the science fair. Opting to focus her project on lie detection through non-verbal communication, she received encouragement from Dr. Betsy Glass. “Dr. Glass got me involved in the science fair. She helped me pursue my interests and showed me how to analyze my data and how to use various statistical programs to understand my research,” Johnson said. The research she conducted for her science fair project led her to communicate with Lee County police officers and provide them with surveys to give to the prisoners. In turn, Johnson was presented with information detailing why these individuals went to prison and what the contributing factors were that led them to commit crimes. Dr. Glass not only encouraged Johnson to pursue her interests in the science fair, but at 16 years old, she and Dr. Glass participated in a graduate level course titled “Interview and Interrogation” at Florida Gulf Coast University, and upon completion of the course, both were certified. Graduating from Canterbury in 2008, Johnson went on to study at Wake Forest University before transferring and completing her degree at Elon University in North Carolina. Majoring in sociology with a double minor in criminal justice and psychology, she graduated in May 2013.

Knowing that she wanted to continue her education, she applied for the McConnell Scholarship at Radford University. “A professor at Radford saw my school application and saw that I had a strong research background. She encouraged me to apply for the scholarship,” she said. Awarded to only four students, Johnson was chosen as a recipient. The scholarship pays for tuition and provides a stipend. Required to maintain a 3.7 GPA and perform 20 hours of research per week, she works closely with Dr. Nicole Hendrix, associate professor in the department of criminal justice. Last semester, she and Dr. Hendrix wrote a research article entitled “Exploring the Effect of Mental Health Issues on State Level Gun Homicide and Suicide.” The research compiled for the article, she said, will be presented at the American Society of Criminology conference in San Francisco this coming November. Her research also extended to the classroom as she helped Dr. Hendrix teach two sections of her undergraduate methods course last spring. Currently, Johnson is teaching a 30-minute class to first year graduate students on how to use R Studio, a statistical analysis program. Planning to graduate in the spring of 2015, as a part of her master’s program, Johnson must write a thesis, which she has titled, “Exploring the effect of firearm sales on state level crimes and gun deaths (e.g., gun homicide and gun suicide).” “I plan to go on to get my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago. When I was given the opportunity to get into the classroom to teach, I found that I really enjoyed it, so my plans are to one day teach criminal justice.” When asked how Canterbury influenced and prepared her for life after high school, she explained,

“ Canterbury helped me prepare for my chosen career field by allowing me to pursue my interests via the science fair. Dr. Glass pushed me to create a proper research design and gather all the proper background information. I am very grateful to her and all of the other professors at Canterbury who pushed me to do my best.” 47
