Board of Trustees Chair Phil Lloyd ’65 talks with Scott Downie, architect, and Michael Foux, Associate Headmaster, Finance and Business Development, at the Grand Opening of the Innovation Center held in January 2017.


letter of thanks from the

board chair

Dear Perkiomen Community, I transferred to Perkiomen as a sophomore and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I returned to Perkiomen as a member of the Board of Trustees in 1979, served three years, and then returned again in 2010 to serve until today. As amazing as my Perkiomen experience was as a student, I am proud to see that my alma mater has adapted to meet the challenges of educating youth in our quickly-changing world. Today’s Perkiomen strives to meet the specific needs of each student and provide the freedom to explore distinctive interests – both in and out of the classroom. During the 2016-2017 school year, we took another step forward and opened the Entrepreneur Institute and Innovation Center. As Perkiomen continues to evolve, we will continue to grow both our campus and our programs, all in service of our students. We could not reach any of these goals without the financial support of our extended community. We thank you for your generous gifts and investment in our school. As you read the stories of the students you have impacted, each who has followed their own unique path to success, we hope you feel our gratitude and our excitement for their future – and the future of Perkiomen. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Philip A. Lloyd II, Esq. ’65 Board Chair

letter of thanks from the

headmaster Headmaster Devey and Eric Kolbe ’61 at the threshold of the newly completed Kolbe West Entrance to the Innovation Center.

To the Perkiomen Family, In life each of us finds our own path. We map our route first with our desires, but then lay the track with our choices. Sometimes we take one careful step at a time, and sometimes we are full speed ahead. For all of us at Perkiomen we risk, we try, we may take a detour, but then we find our way. Two years ago my path brought me back to the Lehigh Valley and back to a headmaster’s house. This time it was my house, not my father’s, and it was my time to take the lead. In this role, I am inspired by the trail blazers, by people like Eric Kolbe ’61, who fight for social justice and clear the path for those who come next. This year we completed the Kolbe West Entrance and Innovation Center and recently inlaid granite pavers, acknowledging Eric’s generosity and courageous spirit. My hope is that as our students use the entrance, and walk over the pavers, they are figuratively and literally reminded that they are striding toward their future, facing their own challenges with the support of Perkiomen and its alumni, parents and friends. I especially thank the many additional donors whose generosity made the Innovation Center possible. I am also inspired by our faculty and our students, including those featured in the following pages, all who followed very different routes to arrive, and now succeed, at Perkiomen. I hope you share my pride in their accomplishments. Your gifts have helped lay the track to success at Perkiomen, and without your support we would not be able to provide the personalized, individual education which has shaped their lives. On behalf of our students, I thank you for your continued generosity and ongoing support of Perkiomen School.

Sincerely yours,

Mark A. Devey Headmaster 4

Nicholas Birosi

E m m a u s , P e n n s y lv a n i a Nicholas Birosik ’18 has a self-imposed mantra he lives by: Carpe Diem or Seize the Day. “Each and every day I spend at Perkiomen I dream about the future, about what it might hold, about what I might become —who I might become,” says Nic. “Regardless of what the future may hold, I know I need to strive and ultimately attain a high level of excellence. By putting a target on the wall and mapping my progress, I seize opportunities that present themselves, thereby living up to my creed, Carpe Diem.” This mantra combined with Nic’s tenacity, focus, and selfdiscipline have propelled him to overcome obstacles in his educational journey. He had been living with an undiagnosed learning disability, dysgraphia, which had undermined his progress for years. Dysgraphia, as Nic describes, is a “neuro-cognitive illness affecting cognitive processes which inhibits written expression.” Along with dysgraphia, he has had difficulty in the past with cognitive processing speeds, working memory, and executive function, as well as behavioral eye movement and auditory processing problems.

Your gifts to Perkiomen helped provide transportation and admission to off-site academic competitions for students like Nic, taking their interests and passions to the next level. Thank you. While in middle school, Nic aspired to attend a competitive and challenging high school. He had a brochure from Perkiomen that reminded him of his goal. “This is where I want to go,” he told himself. “This will help me to succeed. This is what all my efforts are going toward.” By the end of seventh grade, Nic and his family made the decision to transfer to The Hillside School, whose mission is to maximize the potential of children with learning disabilities. At Hillside, Nic worked with great determination to improve his cognitive processing abilities by completing 6

prescribed therapeutic programs in record-time. In a single year alone, Nic had not only overcome his self-deemed “myriad” of disabilities, but also was equal to his peer group in terms of academics and far beyond his peers in entrepreneurial spirit and endeavors. He was ready to apply to Perkiomen. And Perkiomen was ready to support him on his next educational journey. The transition to Perkiomen was seamless for Nic, who felt comfortable in the small class sizes and tight-knit atmosphere. “Of course, as with any new environment, you may easily feel timid, or even intimidated, but at Perkiomen, you are able to make friends very quickly, primarily due to the diversity,” Nic shares. “Without a doubt, anyone that comes on campus is welcomed—really welcomed—as if a part of a family.” He describes all of his teachers with words like helpful, passionate, and superior; especially acknowledging Henryk Hoffmann, world languages Department Head. “Mr. Hoffmann’s humility, charisma, and ordained teaching abilities gave me the courage to pursue a foreign language education,” says Nic, “even though so many previous teachers and doctors said it would be impossible.” In his junior year, he continued to manage both non-profit and for-profit companies, while taking a course load of eight classes, placing first in a state science competition, continuing his hobbies of programming and photography, and playing on Perkiomen’s badminton and tennis teams. Now as he prepares for his senior year at Perkiomen, Nic again will focus on clear objectives. His goals for the coming year are to continue to set a high bar for achievement and follow a plan to help define himself on college applications. He hopes to pursue Corporate Information Technology Law as a career. “The keys to success at Perkiomen boil down to three things,” says Nic, “a vision for the future, determination, and commitment.”


sik

In May, Nic competed in the State Competition of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PAJS), held each year at Penn State. Approximately 3,000 of the brightest science students from Pennsylvania’s 12 separate PJAS regions came to State College to present their research. Nic received first place for his work on Artificial Intelligence and DNA and was the only junior from the region who received a perfect score. Nic integrated his knowledge of computer science with statistical analysis to create a program that searches through DNA from human chromosomes to locate disease. Using artificial intelligence, a heat map can be created to highlight specific focus areas for physicians. This new process is more efficient because it will allow medical professionals to search for chromosomal disorders only where needed. report to donors 2016/2017

Atakan Sahinka

I s ta n b u l , T u r k e y As a fourth grader in Istanbul, Atakan Sahinkaya ’17 started making plans. He was a big fan of basketball and would watch both NBA and NCAA games on television. After a game he turned to his mother and said, “One day I’m going to go to the United States, go to high school and college, and I’m going to play basketball.” Eight years later he has fulfilled two parts of the plan. Atakan, or Ata—as his friends call him—is a member of Perkiomen’s Class of 2017 and a standout on the men’s basketball team. In 2014, Ata and his parents met with an educational advisor in Turkey to explore American educational opportunities. Applying for a visa was difficult, Ata shared, and he needed to prepare financial documents, application forms, as well as meet for an interview with a consular officer. At the end of June, Ata’s visa arrived. “I’d never felt so relieved in my life,” he says. In the summer of 2015, Ata arrived in Maine to start his American high school education. That school was not the right fit for him, and the educational advisor soon found Perkiomen, and suggested that Ata transfer.

Thank you for helping students like Atakan achieve life-long dreams. Your support of Perkiomen helped provide students with athletic uniforms, wellmaintained facilities, and dedicated coaching staff, so they may give their best effort throughout each season. “After my first days at Perkiomen, I realized this school was better for me,” says Ata. “From the moment I came here, people were warm to me. I liked the open campus and the teachers. I never felt left out.” In addition to having a strong sense of community, he feels Perkiomen is academically superior with many course offerings and opportunities to excel in the classroom.

Ata was also eager to play basketball and joined the team shortly after the arrival of Perkiomen’s new Head Coach Thomas Baudinet, who is also the Assistant Director of Admissions. “Mr. Baudinet is the best high school coach I ever had,” says Ata. “He helps me with any issue—on or off the court. In his spare time he was willing to work with me.” Coach Baudinet was happy to make the connection with a fellow newcomer. “Atakan had a successful transition to Perkiomen in his lone year here,” he says. “He quickly established himself as a well-liked and respected student among his teachers and fellow students, while excelling on the basketball court and performing strongly in the classroom.” Being a student-athlete is easier in the United States, Ata says. In Turkey, club teams and school teams are separate. “If you want to play a sport and be a serious student, it is very difficult. There is no time for both,” he shares. Ata cites his parents as support for his theory. His father played basketball for one of the best club teams in Turkey, while his mother graduated from one of the best schools in Turkey. He laughs while describing their dynamic and then shares, “But they always agree that school is the priority. School comes first.” Ata’s academic strength has been in languages. While in Turkey, Ata took German and English. At the school in Maine, they did not offer German, so he enrolled in Spanish. He decided to continue Spanish and German at Perkiomen and graduated as one of the strongest students in both classes. “I want to major in International Business and International Relations, so it is important to be multilingual,” he says. This fall, Ata heads to Troy University in Alabama, where he has received a full basketball scholarship. “Atakan has a bright future ahead of him if he continues to work hard to achieve his potential,” says Coach Baudinet. “With his Perkiomen experience behind him, I look forward to seeing where his path takes him next.”

Sydnee Reddy

P h i l a d e l p h i a , P e n n s y lv a n i a Sydnee Reddy ’19 first learned about Perkiomen School when she was in sixth grade. Director of Admissions Abby Parish Moser visited Sydnee’s middle school in East Falls. Sydnee was intrigued and chose to participate in a Shadow Day at Perkiomen, with her father and her teacher accompanying her. “I was a little bit nervous,” Sydnee shares. “I was a sixth grader, new to middle school, but as the day went on I liked it more and more.” As she approached high school age, Sydnee realized that Perkiomen was an excellent school and in the spring of her eighth grade year, she made the decision to attend. Perkiomen offered a stand-out financial aid package that made it possible and gave Sydnee and her family the freedom to choose if Perkiomen was right for her. Sydnee is the recipient of an Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) Award, which provides financial assistance to Pennsylvania students so they may seek academic options provided by a public or private school outside of their designated school district. OSTC scholarships are funded by Pennsylvania businesses who make contributions to schools, like Perkiomen, in exchange for a tax credit. The idea of a boarding school was new, but Sydnee felt she should take the chance. “Taking that risk to apply to the school, be accepted, and also be a boarder—that was worth it,” says Sydnee. “I’m at a new point. I’m making the best of my life.” Now after three years at Perkiomen, Sydnee again took a risk and ran for Student Senate along with classmate, Peter Choi. Although another pair was elected, the experience helped shape their character and showed their initiative to take on leadership positions. Sydnee has been named a Presentation Station mentor, and will assist other students in making successful presentations for their classes. She also worked with the Director of Communications to create the Perkiomen Snapchat account and helped with additional social media and video projects.

On the softball field, as JV team captain, Sydnee has also emerged as a leader. From behind the plate, Sydnee motivates the team at each practice and game. Hoping to develop her natural athleticism, she plans to try volleyball this fall. Participating in Perkiomen’s German and Poland exchange trip has been a highlight of Sydnee’s time at Perkiomen. The exchange between Perkiomen School and St. Andrew’s Gymnasium in Hildesheim, Germany allows students from Hildesheim to spend 10 days at Perkiomen each fall and Perkiomen School students to visit Hildesheim annually during spring break. The program in Hildesheim is tied directly to the Perkiomen curriculum and builds connections and understanding essential to global citizenship. Upon returning to Perkiomen, because of her experience on the trip, Sydnee made the decision to take German as her world language.

Thank you for helping students like Sydnee develop leadership skills as well as a passion for studio art. Sydnee has also been exploring ceramics and found a love for this form of expression, enrolling in the course again for her junior year. “Sydnee has been a proactive student in the studio since day one,” says Sara Shin, fine arts Department Head. “Clay being such a versatile medium, she was able to jump right in and start constructing with ease. Sydnee’s confidence soared thanks to daily successes in the studio. Arts education encourages students to become self-directed learners and challenges them to continue to inquire.” It will be exciting to see where Sydnee’s path leads next. Her leadership, enthusiasm, and creativity will enhance her Perkiomen education and define her surely exceptional future.

Thank you. Your contributions to Perkiomen helped support after-school activities, like stage crew and theater, by purchasing stage lights, hand tools, and paint. This made a unique learning experience possible for enthusiastic and determined students like Becky. 12

Zhiqi He

Guangzhou, China Two years ago Zhiqi “Becky” He ’19 set a goal to study abroad. From the moment of that initial decision, she has been the driver, the one making the choices to make a change. “I just take action,” she says, and this is a phrase one will hear Becky repeat as she discusses anything from daily study habits to lifetime goals.

In her first term at Perkiomen, Becky joined the volleyball team. Volleyball is new to Perkiomen and new to Becky – but that did not deter her. “It looked interesting and because I was new, a team sport allowed me to make friends and connect socially,” says Becky. “I like the teamwork. You have to cooperate with each other.”

“I went to an international school in China to study for the TOEFL and SAT,” says Becky. “I thought I’d be there for three years. In the winter of 2015-2016, I decided I didn’t want to stay there to just learn to take these tests. That would be too boring. I talked to my parents and told them I wanted to go.”

She recalls the first volleyball game against George School. JV lost the game, but she enjoyed the competition. “In China, you don’t compete with other schools,” she shares. “There are so many kids, you just play yourselves. There is exercise, but they are tests to see how fast you can run or jump rope. The only motivation to do it is to pass the test.”

Becky’s parents introduced her to people they knew who had studied abroad – family friends, business colleagues, classmates – who could all now speak English. “They were different, and they were special,” says Becky. “I admired them and I wanted to be like them.” Her parents strongly suggested she attend school in England, but Becky wanted to be in the United States. Her parents finally agreed. “I didn’t know about Perkiomen,” says Becky, “but my mother’s classmate’s daughter was studying there and enjoyed it. It was suggested to me.”

For the winter term, Becky wanted to try something else new. She thought theater might be a good choice, but she did not want to perform. Moving sets as stage crew seemed like a good fit, but Becky found it to be much more. She became comfortable with safety goggles and sawdust. She literally got her hands dirty and built set pieces and her confidence, one day at a time. “I drew a draft, prepped wood, measured, cut, screwed, painted,” Becky recalls. “It was the first time I had ever used tools. I would never have done that in China.”

The application was tough, Becky shares. She communicated with Perkiomen via Skype and she prepared her passport, visa, and obtained her transcripts. She was encouraged by her classmates and friends in China as the first of her peer group to apply to study abroad.

“Becky became very proficient with the jig-saw,” shared James Jones, world languages teacher and stage crew advisor, “and with making quick fixes to broken props that worked so flawlessly no one knew anything was amiss. She took great initiative in always asking what to do next, or asking for clarification over her current task.”

Becky’s creed to “just take action” is reflected in the way she approaches her education. She is focused and works extremely hard, step by step, to reach each goal. Her overall academic performance is excellent, with an affinity for writing and math. This past year her hard work resulted in earning a Gold Key for achieving High Honors two out of three terms.

Community service was another new experience for Becky, and she completed 31 hours this past year, far more than the required six hours.

Even when nervous or unsure, Becky is willing to step out of her comfort zone when necessary and has been rewarded with success. Becky embodies Perkiomen’s mission to “risk being your best.” In her first year at Perkiomen she has grown and learned through experience and active inquiry.

“In China we don’t have a chance to help other people in society. I need to seize the opportunity to do that,” says Becky. “Helping someone makes me feel good and enriches my life, so if there is free time, I like to spend it doing community service.” When Becky’s parents visited her at Perkiomen, they saw a positive change in their daughter. “They see I have changed, I have developed,” she says. “Taking action has paid off.” report to donors 2016/2017

Scott Robinson

De l m a r , M a r y l a n d Scott Robinson, now in his eleventh year as a Perkiomen faculty member, never intended to become a teacher. “My official teaching career began as an unplanned stroke of luck,” says Scott, but as he reflects he recalls that there were some hints that he would eventually follow this path. Scott graduated from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) with a double major in chemistry and biochemistry. He did graduate work at the University of Delaware focusing on small molecule ion chemistry using FT-ICR (Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance) mass spectrometry, a technique for determining masses with high accuracy. As a graduate student, Scott found himself gravitating toward helping other students with their research or troubleshooting instrumentation. He enjoyed facilitating learning, especially when the equipment-dependent research was stalled because of a breakdown. “Whether it was showing an undergrad how to operate the mass spectrometers or traveling off-site to install equipment for someone else,” says Scott, “I found those experiences to be just as rewarding as conducting experiments for myself.”

Until Perkiomen reached out to him, Scott had no previous personal experience with independent boarding schools. He grew up in the Maryland Eastern Shore area and his only contact with private schools was at the occasional sporting event. Now, 11 years later, as a veteran educator and coach, Scott values Perkiomen’s enduring welcoming quality and the comprehensive boarding school experience. Although his focus is chemistry, Scott feels all sciences are crucial to a complete Perkiomen education. “A well-trained scientist is a problem solver and a critical thinker,” says Scott. “Science courses directly incorporate mathematics, history, English, and ethics, while providing opportunities for entrepreneurialism and sharpening skills that can be applied to the fine arts.” After school, as a middle school basketball and upper school baseball coach, Scott appreciates the opportunity to connect with students away from the traditional classroom setting. “Whether it is helping a player discover a talent they didn’t know they had or pushing a talented athlete to reach that next level, coaching is rewarding in its own unique way,” he shares.

Your generous contributions allowed faculty like Scott to have access to the proper equipment to facilitate hands-on learning and experimentation. Thank you.

Scott arrived at Perkiomen at a time of accelerating change on campus that has continued to today. Schumo Academic Center opened in his first year and he witnessed the renovation and opening of the Hollenbach Middle School and the Innovation Center. He has seen the renovations of Parents Hall, the addition of the Kehs Hall theater, Baker Field, Stauffer Family Tennis Center, and the building of Kolbe and Riordan Halls.

Scott had an opportunity to join a major instrument manufacturer, but a company merger eliminated the opening before he could begin the position. His information was listed in a number of employment databases but he does not recall listing teaching as an interest. However, Perkiomen contacted Scott and as he says, the rest is history.

“Through all of the changes that Perkiomen has seen over the years,” says Scott, “the one constant has been the dedication of the faculty and staff to the students of the school. Headmaster Devey has presented an ambitious and exciting vision for the future. I am confident that Perkiomen will embrace that vision while maintaining its unique identity.”

In his chemistry lab, Scott relied on the classic scientific staples such as chemicals and glassware. “As the science department and the institution as a whole continue to move toward experiential learning, those resources are more heavily used and more widely dispersed,” says Scott. “I am integrating more electronic sensors and probes into my activities, and that is helpful from the standpoint of data collection efficiency and time.” report to donors 2016/2017

Invest to Ign

in support of the Entrepreneu The Invest to Ignite Campaign was a $2 million endeavor—$1.7 million to build the Innovation Center and accessibility entrance to Carnegie Library as well as $300,000 to establish the Endowment for Student Engagement. With your enthusiastic support we are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the campaign. It is particularly notable that seven members of the class of 2017 invested themselves fully in the new Entrepreneur Program, completing classwork and a substantial capstone project to graduate with Entrepreneurial Distinction. With a contemporary, industrial-meets-classic design feel, the Innovation Center offers flexible, collaborative spaces to facilitate work in all phases of entrepreneurship—ideation through prototyping through presentation. Computer and manufacturing equipment, as well as smartboard and connective technology, puts essential tools at students’ fingertips. To assist with sustained financing of projects and endeavors, an Endowment for Student Engagement was established. This fund will provide financing for student ventures, which may include seed money, transportation costs, registration fees for conferences or pitch competitions, and more. Fueled by eager students and dynamic faculty, as well as the generosity of alumni, parents and friends, we knew this was the right time to devote resources to this project. We set and met our goal to complete this renovation project in one year. We thank those donors who have made this possible and hope you will join us as we celebrate student entrepreneurship for years to come.

Cheyenne Valstar East Greenville, Pennsylvania

Cheyenne Valstar ’19 is creating Virtual Reality environments to help architects visualize and share their plans with clients or potential clients. Using Unity Engine software, she is able to “mock up” plans for a home or building for use on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift platforms (two Virtual Reality headset systems). This disruptive technology will allow buyers, architects, and construction companies to experience a new building, rather than simply looking at a set of two-dimensional printed plans. Upon completion, Cheyenne will be able to offer this specialized service to architects and firms who do not have this skill set. There are few firms in the United States that offer this service. “If successful, Cheyenne would be establishing herself as an authority in a field at this early stage in her life,” says Shaun Yorgey ’97, Director of the Entrepreneur Institute. Cheyenne is also in contact with Perkiomen alumni who are architects in both California and New York, to explore a partnership or mentorship. Your financial support allows students like Cheyenne to develop cutting-edge skills at the high school level, setting them apart from their peers and setting them up for success. Thank you. 20
