LET TER FROM HEAD OF SCHOOL ERIC LOMBARDI

View from My Window Along with shelves of history books, a flag from Fallujah and SPC football championship memorabilia, the office of Bill Arnold ’86, Director of Special Projects, has a simple, four-item list pinned to the bulletin board. When he is not preparing or teaching a history lesson or accompanying our varsity golfers on a practice round, Bill is responsible for the School making progress on that list of goals, our 2018 Strategic Plan. I am excited to share some of that progress:

1. Inspire Innovation and Excellence throughout the FWCD Experience.

Three significant developments help us advance this goal: Our designation as a 2018 Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth; our creation of Summer Fellowships to fund substantive collaborative work among faculty; and our initiation of rotating departmental curricular audits by teams of visiting educators to study our curricular program and pedagogy.

2. Play a More Integral Role in Fort Worth and the Greater Community.

Being more integral in Fort Worth includes a focus on our service learning curriculum establishing more long-term relationships. Our fourth-graders are leading the way with a yearlong service project from their own design thinking, and our Middle Schoolers began, last year, a weekly engagement at Como Community Center.

Playing a role globally is the focus of our Center for International Studies. Director Stephen Blan has begun 2

coordinating the development of homestay study programs (Avila, Spain June-July 2018) for Upper Schoolers and sending students to work for NGOs near and far with Students Shoulder-to-Shoulder, a 12-school consortium with programs from Pine Ridge, South Dakota to Salleri and Mukli, Nepal.

3. Expand our Access and Diversity.

Social media and other targeted story-telling efforts with a major marketing agency spread the word on the wonders of our school. And, basing much of our work on the School’s 2017 Inclusivity Statement, our socioeconomic diversity expands courtesy of both generous long-standing and new donors to Tuition Assistance.

4. Assure Sustainability.

The most substantive work this year on our long range financial and campus sustainability has been in the hands of an Exploratory Campaign Committee. This ad hoc Board committee has been behind developing our 2018 Campus Master Plan with Lake Flato Architects and establishing endowment benchmarks for the School’s long-term financial health. Combining goals one and four, both Innovation and Sustainability, would be our creation of the FWCD Junior Kindergarten program this fall.

A more complete, periodically updated version of the 2018 Strategic Plan matrix lives on the School’s website, but I hope this brief summary gives us all cause for excitement about our beloved school.

School Year Kicks Off with Convocation The 2018-19 academic year kicked off on August 24, with a grand convocation. The extra special treat: an up-close and personal visit from a peregrine falcon, Blondie, and her handler, Bob Smith.

(See page 3 for photo). A longtime falconer, Smith shared some interesting falcon facts, including that there are six species of falcons in the U.S. and all six can be spotted in the state of Texas.

The convocation also showcased the School’s “Alma Mater,” which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The song was written in 1993 by Jack Noble White, FWCD’s original music teacher. As written in FWCD: Destined to Flourish 1963-2013, “White suggested polling the students regarding words they felt should be included. ‘Falcons,’ the school colors and ‘pride’ were popular suggestions. The ‘Alma Mater’ was introduced February 24, 1994, a day formally proclaimed ‘Fort Worth Country Day School Day’ by the city of Fort Worth.

The Upper School Choir sang it, accompanied by the Upper School orchestra, conducted by White.”

Heads of School for the Day Michael ’27 and Wilkes ’25 Head served as FWCD Heads of School for the Day on October 11. The boys’ parents, Hannah (Stinson ’94) and Tyler ’94 Head, won the opportunity through the silent auction at The Perfect 10 Decathlon of Delights event in August. (See story on page 18.)

Michael and Wilkes began their day at 7:45 a.m., meeting in the Head of School Office to join Eric Lombardi and greet students and families during Lower School carpool. At 8:45 a.m., the boys returned to the Head of School Office, where they completed a radio check to confirm campus safety and security, and then took part in a photo op, where they were presented with Falcon pins and books on leadership.

Lombardi, Michael and Wilkes spent time discussing leadership, using two books Lombardi gifted the boys: All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum and Together is Better by Simon Sinek.

Division Head meetings were next on the list. Michael and Wilkes met with Head of Lower School Trey Blair, Head of Middle School John Stephens and Head of Upper School Steve Stackhouse to learn the state of each division and provide helpful guidance. At the end of the day, the boys were quite impressed with the highlevel of work that happens each and every day on the campus, so they granted all faculty and staff an Out-of-Uniform Day on October 12.

TCU Professor Headlines Chip Herr Memorial Lecture Carrie Currier, PhD, was the 2018 Captain David R. “Chip” Herr, Jr. ’80 Memorial Lecture keynote speaker. Dr. Currier, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Texas Christian University, teaches courses in Asian politics. Her research focuses on China and that country’s economic reform. The predominant theme of Dr. Currier’s lecture focused on the social and political relations of nuclear arms policy between the U.S. and North Korea. She shared that most public opinions of the relationship between the countries are based on perspective. “It is important to take yourself out of your comfort zone and gain a full understanding of other perspectives,” she said. This was the ninth year for the lecture, which honors Herr’s heroic efforts when he served in the Persian Gulf in August 1990.

His helicopter malfunctioned and crashed in eastern Saudi Arabia on February 3, 1991. Herr is the only FWCD graduate who has died in service to his country.

FWCD Named a Best Company to Work For in Fort Worth FWCD earned the distinction of being ranked one of the Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth for 2018.

The Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth program created by Fort Worth, Texas and FW Inc. magazines and Best Companies Group, is designed to recognize outstanding places of employment in Fort Worth and to give organizations that go through the process extensive, detailed and thorough feedback on strengths and on areas to improve. Employers completed an online survey, detailing company policies, practices, benefits and demographics. Employees also completed an anonymous survey.

“The heart and soul of this school is our stellar faculty and hard-working staff. I don’t think people here consider themselves employees – we are a community, a family. To have their anonymous feedback secure FWCD this distinction is thrilling,” said Head of School Eric Lombardi. “That the people doing all of the hard work, day in and day out, would be so positive about our school is heartwarming and inspiring. It sends a signal to the best educators and school people that they would be lucky to get to join us.”

“The heart and soul

“Immigrants” Make their Way to America Human Aid and Ferry Station.

“Students experienced many of the same frustrations as the individuals who immigrated to this country through Ellis Island.

”– Alicia Schordine

THE FALCONER

Exploring their similarities and differences and celebrating them as they build a culture of inclusivity and appreciation of diversity within their classroom communities, fourth-graders started a new tradition this year. They role-played their arrival as immigrants coming to the United States through Ellis Island. The experience explored immigrants and the challenges they faced coming to America.

Students and their family members stepped back in time, to the year 1910, the height of European immigration to America. “Immigrants” were each issued a passport, which served as their tickets into America. Passports were passed out randomly, so “immigrants” were unfamiliar with their characters from the start. They traveled through inspection stations – Medical, Legal, Detention, Hospital, Money Exchange,

Some students were held for further examination or questioning. Some were deported. To determine their fate, “immigrants” answered questions or played games of chance with cards or dice to determine next steps.

“Immigrants” who admitted to a broken bone in the past were ordered to go to the hospital. Based on their role of the dice, they were then moved out of the hospital or perhaps quarantined for a period of time. The human aid station assessed mental competence using a facial recognition test and puzzle. “Immigrants” were required to have at least $25 in their pockets to stay in the country, so at the money exchange station, they played a spin game to determine their worth. Only 20 percent of “immigrants” were detained to mimic the percentage of immigrants detained during the height of immigration. Only 2 percent were deported.

“Immigrants” who made it to the ferry station celebrated. They had gained admittance into America. American flag cookies were served, and they were given a flag to wave to show their support of the U.S.

“Students experienced many of the same frustrations as the individuals who immigrated to this country through Ellis Island. There were long lines, there was confusion, there were setbacks, but there were triumphs too,” said Alicia Schordine, Fourth-Grade Teacher. “It was a game of Life of sorts, without a visible board.”

GIVING BACK

The Gift of Reading The highlight of the summer for Viraj Gandhi ’19 was traveling to Nepal with his mother, Subi, and his sister, Sheena ’24. A native of Nepal, Subi had not been home to visit family for many years and was looking forward to a family reunion of sorts.

Spending the month of June in Nepal, Viraj and Sheena were not your typical vacationers. They chose to work at Orchid Garden Nepal (OGN), a nonprofit organization that protects the rights, welfare and health of the deprived children of Nepal. OGN hosts a day care center, early elementary school and a day hostel for children ages 6 months to 9 years old with the goal of providing a well-rounded, multifaceted educational experience that encourages creativity and selfdiscovery.

Known for its spectacular vistas, Nepal is home to Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world; Kali Gandaki, the deepest gorge; and Tilicho Lake, the highest lake on earth. With all this beauty, there is also hardship. According to the Asian Development Bank, 25.2 percent of Nepal’s population in 2010 was living below the national poverty line. It is considered one of the poorest nations in South Asia. Because of its location within the Himalayas, Nepal was isolated from modern infrastructure like schools, hospitals, electricity, roads, telecommunications and more until the 1950s. Organizations like OGN are making great strides for the children of the area.

Viraj has long known OGN. He always visits the organization on his family excursions to Nepal. When he was 6 or 7, Viraj celebrated his birthday there with the children. “As I grew older, I started to realize how in need the children of Orchid Garden Nepal are,” Viraj said. “People are truly hurting here, and life is hard.”

The country is still recovering from the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck on April 25, 2015, that killed 9,000 people and injured 22,000 more. The aftershocks and another earthquake 17 days later caused even further damage. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people lost everything, facing extreme poverty.

Viraj and Sheena wanted to make a difference. For two weeks, Viraj volunteered at OGN with other high school and college-aged students from countries such as the Netherlands and Japan. He worked as a teaching assistant, sharing information about American sports, famous American icons, various American cities and more. His lesson plans included information on Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights movement, early presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and sports legends Michael Jordan and Joe DiMaggio. “The kids were glued to their seats as I shared PowerPoints with pictures, videos and facts,” he said. “Sheena went hands-on and taught the kids how to play basketball.”

They talked about geography and travel. “I showed them pictures of Fort Worth Country Day and talked about what school is like for me,” he said. “When I noticed there was a room that was kind of worn out and unused, I talked to OGN leadership about doing something creative with it.”

Enter one of Viraj’s and Sheena’s uncles: Suraj Dahal, who lives in New York City. He connected Viraj with Room to Read Nepal, an organization that transforms the lives of children in low-income countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Room to Read gained donations of age-appropriate books, and OGN staff received training to operate the library from Room to Read. Viraj, who had done some fundraising events in the U.S. before traveling, donated money toward furniture and shelving to revamp the room.

In July, a brightly painted room was named the Viraj and Sheena Gandhi Community Learning Center. Unfortunately, the Gandhi family had already returned to the states so they could not see the children’s happy faces in person. They received many pictures though, and those are worth their weight in gold.

“To see the excitement on the kids’ faces was so heartening,” Viraj said. “It was a little thing that we did, but it made all the difference to these kids. I look forward to returning to Nepal and reading a book to the students there.”

Q& with Karen Davis and Shah A What led you to Fort Worth Country Day 15 years ago?

Two words led me to FWCD ... Job Fair. Seriously! I sat down one evening after supper to read the newspaper and saw an advertisement for a teacher job fair here in Fort Worth hosted by the independent schools of Tarrant County, TVS, FWCD and Oakridge. I was literally reading the paper at about 6:15 p.m., and the job fair started that same night at 7:30. I thought to myself, “My resume is up to date. Should I make the effort to hurry on over to this event?” Boy, I sure am glad that I did!

I have had the pleasure of teaching both third and fourth grades since coming to FWCD in 2004. I have been Fourth-Grade Team Leader for a number of years now, and have served as History Department Representative, PFA Representative and Faculty Rep to the Board of Trustees.

What makes teaching at FWCD so special?

I love being a part of this unique community. I also appreciate the flexibility of what I can teach and that there is no state-mandated test. Lower School students are eager and enthusiastic. They come ready to learn each and every day. I noticed that the first day I set foot on campus.

I teach because it’s in my DNA. I come from a long line of teachers, but I wouldn’t be in this profession if I didn’t personally love it. If I could not be in the classroom, I would be a legal secretary. That was my job in college.

What are some of your favorite FWCD memories?

Things that come to mind first are big events like our beloved Lower School Halloween Parade, the Third-Grade Book Character program and Fourth-Grade Famous Americans. Traditional assemblies, such as Holiday Sing-Along, Kindergarten Rodeo – so excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this event in January – and Lower School Closing Ceremonies are memorable as well. The Lower School Talent Show, too! I could go on and on. I really love it all!

What is your favorite subject to teach?

History – any kind. Texas, World or American! I am passionate about the past, and I like to share that passion. I love it when former students tell me that they remember something fun we did in Social Studies class.

How are you spending your retirement?

My husband, Bill, and I already have two cruises planned! I also want to spend more time working in my yard, serving at my church and spoiling my four precious grandchildren.

THE FALCONER

FACULTY Q&A

een Matuni What was your first job out of college?

It’s true that my first “big boy” job after graduating [Dallas Baptist University, BA in Computer Information Systems] was in my field of study. I worked in operations at ClubCorp in Dallas, making sure all the nightly batch processing completed without fault. I was exposed to every technology known to man, and worked with old and new computers. It was great exposure for me. On a side note, I could have played golf on many PGA golf courses for free because ClubCorp owned or managed those courses and that was a perk of the job. Unfortunately, I don’t play golf.

Why do you teach?

I love to learn, and I certainly was doing quite a bit of that at ClubCorp, but something was missing. I didn’t quite fit in with some of my colleagues because I didn’t want to learn something to better my position in a company or make more money. I simply enjoyed the process of learning. One day, I spent the day watching my wife, Shannon, teach first-graders. I knew at that moment I belonged in a classroom. I found a program that would help industry people become teachers, and I resigned from my position to pursue becoming a teacher. I’m now in my 13th year of teaching.

How do you engage students?

A manifestation of learning supersedes the feeling of a good grade. It lasts longer and is like a slow burn as opposed to the flash that a high grade provides. When students are able to accomplish things they couldn’t before, they grow in confidence. We learn how to take an idea and break it down to manageable tasks. As students develop skills, they are able to develop bigger and better projects. By the end of the year, the students are creating solid applications, and I encourage them to submit their work for public review.

Last year, we won two of the five contests we attended. We also had two students get national recognition, and they spent the summer watching the number of downloads they had from people all over the world!

What do you enjoy about teaching Computer Science?

There is a takeaway for every student in Computer Science. It could be simply that a student likes to create or design an app. It could be that they enjoy getting a computer to do their homework so they don’t have to. What I love most about Computer Science is that it needs to be attached to another domain of knowledge and must be applied immediately. Maybe you want a program that changes all the notes of a song to another key, or you want someone to be able to record statistics of a gaming event. Maybe you want to search for connections and do statistical analysis of some big data. You might just want to be able to personalize how your phone works. Whatever it is, Computer Science is empowering, and I love to see students discover that!

A Falcon Broadway Star Start spreading the news … Frankie Leoni ’26 made his Broadway debut in A Bronx Tale this past summer. From July 5-August 5, he played Young Calogero, appearing opposite Chazz Palminteri. The show closed on August 5. In late August, Leoni shared that he would be making his A Bronx Tale touring debut in the role he portrayed on Broadway. The tour began in October and comes to Dallas December 26-January 6. A Bronx Tale is the new musical featuring the book by Palminteri; music by Oscar, Grammy and Tony Award winner Alan Menken; lyrics by Grammy Award winner Glenn Slater; and directed by two-time Oscar winner Robert DeNiro and four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks.

The Miracle Worker: FWCD’s Fall Play With its first table read on August 20, The Miracle Worker cast hit the ground running. They had spent the summer learning their lines, writing their character analyses to show they understood the breadth and depth of the roles they were playing, and were basically “offbook” at this first rehearsal. “This is typical,” said Natalie Bracken ’05, The Miracle Worker Director. “Our students are committed to the craft and excited to delve into the fall play each year.”

This year’s cast comprised 28 students, including understudies.

The play debuted on October 4 with additional shows on October 6 and 7, and an understudy performance on September 29. In addition to Bracken and Production Supervisor Michael Steinbrenner ’12, two Assistant Directors led the charge, Claire Barker ’20 and Emily Frantz ’21, along with Stage Manager Joe Westermann ’19 and Set Designer Campbell Robinson ’19.

The play highlights the lives of Annie Sullivan (Avery Pate ’19) and Helen Keller (Claire Guthrie ’20). Annie teaches sign language to a young blind and deaf Helen Keller. The play details their challenges as Annie teaches Helen and helps her understand the world

is not simply darkness.

“These are two exceptionally dedicated and passionate kids,” Bracken noted. “They both have an interest in studying theatre in college and understand what is needed for a successful performance.”

Bracken gushes about the cast in its entirety as well.

“Each year, these students raise the bar and show me a higher level of work and understanding,” she said. “I am blessed to work with such talented, driven student actors.”

The message of caring and kindness is a cornerstone of The Miracle Worker. “Ultimately, this story is about overcoming adversity and powering through your struggles,” Bracken said. “We all have them. These actors tapped into their own inner adversity and became their characters!”

ATHLETICS

Falcons are SPC Champions The FWCD Falcons took home their 10th Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) Championship title on November 10 after a 55-41 victory over The John Cooper School (Woodlands). Up 25-13 at the half, the Falcons never looked back and secured the win in the 3A SPC Championship, which was played at Dallas Jesuit. The Falcons lost to John Cooper earlier in the season so this was an especially sweet victory. John Cooper was looking to garner its first state title. The FWCD team is coached by Brian Farda, who took on the head coaching position this year, but had been with the FWCD football program for 15 years prior. The Falcons won the SPC championship in 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 2010 (Division 2) and 2016 (3A).

20th Battle of Bryant Irvin

Falcon Club pulled out all the stops for the October 26 Homecoming football game. The Falcons took on the Oakridge Owls. Prior to the game, the All Veteran Parachute Team (the team that facilitates President George H.W. Bush’s jumps) parachuted into Rosacker Stadium. FWCD’s very own Bill Arnold ’86 was part of the tandem jump that delivered the coin for the toss and the game ball. The final jumper featured “Old Glory.” FWCD beat the Owls, 36-13.

The football teams have a long history of competing, dating back to 1966 until 1978.

In 1993, the rivalry re-ignited, but the official start of the Battle of Bryant Irvin began in 1998, when TVS moved to its current Bryant Irvin location. The teams have competed for the trophy, created by Associate Athletic Director and Head Athletic Trainer Ed Chisholm, ever since.

ATHLETICS

Thrill of the Hill 2.0 In 1972, FWCD hosted its first cross country invitational, and, later, it became known as Thrill of the Hill.

A staple of the fall athletic season, the race attracted schools from all over the area. In the late 2000s, due to construction on campus, Thrill of the Hill was put on hold.

Fast forward to 2018, and the Thrill is back! A collection of minds worked together to create Thrill of the Hill 2.0, which became a reality on September 19. Cross Country Program Director Jared Connaughton took all ideas and designed a one-mile loop on the ropes course hill for Middle School runners.

The runners took the loop twice, thus the 2.0 version was born.

Three schools competed – FWCD, Oakridge and Trinity Valley– with a total of 66 runners. FWCD won

the boys division with five Falcons finishing in the top 10: Andy Booth ’24 (4th), Rising Huckaby ’24 (5th), Jordan Cyprian ’23 (6th), Vail Dickey ’24 (9th) and Rocco Leoni ’23 (10th).

Four girls ran to represent the Falcons: Madden Phelps ’24 (3rd), Reagan Hall ’24 (5th), Brooke Baldwin ’24 (6th) and Olivia Kersch ’24 (9th).

“As early as my first introduction to FWCD, I was clued in to the legend of the Thrill of the Hill,” said Director of Athletics Brian Phelps. “I knew it was Coach Connaughton’s desire to recreate the event. I look forward to what it can become in the very near future.”

Improving the Sound Experience for Falcon Fans Falcon fans who have attended a home game this year have probably noticed a few things that look and sound a little different than before. Neptune Now, a customized “radio station” for each sport with custom DJ messaging highlights each game. Teams submit their extensive song lists to be added to a playlist. Neptune then scrutinizes the list and creates a family-friendly playlist that can be enjoyed by the team and spectators of all ages. The School also is able to promote its own messages, with the ability to change them every game.

Coach DeAnn Hall gets the unit ready for each game. “The GameTime music inventory is large and spans across 16

THE FALCONER

various genres so even if a specific song isn't available due to lyrics and/or content, there are songs with the kind of beat that will pump up our studentathletes before the game,” Hall said. “In addition to music, the program allows for announcements to be made during the games, and we’ve been able to use it to promote sportsmanship, our seniors and the Falcon Club. I feel like we are just scratching the surface of what all it can do.”

Along with Neptune, fans might have heard a difference in the Rosacker Stadium acoustics. Thanks to a generous donation by Sherri and Bobby Patton, a new sound system was installed over the summer and

sounds better than ever. The game announcers are clearer, and the cheerleaders are able to play their music to execute a flawless routine. The new speakers you hear at games not played in the stadium were purchased by the Falcon Club. They purchased two elevated portable press boxes (donkeys) with speakers, which provide a nice vantage point for scorekeepers and photographers to sit during game time.

Since they are portable, they are easily moved to any of the athletic fields to be used and enjoyed for all sports.

These fun improvements and additions to our Falcon home game experience allow Falcon fans to experience FWCD’s family-friendly spirit.

ts Raises Record Funds for FWCD The Perfect 10 Decathlon of Delights transformed the Sid W. Richardson Gymnasium on Sunday, August 26, 2018, with more than 650 attendees. A benefit in memory of Barrett Martin Havran ’98, the event gave back more than $735,000 to Fort Worth Country Day for athletics and community service programs. As a result of the evening’s success, the track will be named for Barrett; $400,000 will be put into the endowment for track maintenance and upkeep; and $200,000, will be put into the endowment and earmarked for community service. The remaining money will be put to immediate use for track repairs.

“The entire FWCD community is delighted that our track will be named after Falcon legend Barrett Havran, whose legacy extends far beyond his aptitude as a track star. Barrett exemplified the School’s core values and what it truly means to be a championship athlete,” said Jared Connaughton, Cross Country/Track and Field Program Director and Head Coach. “I hope when our current athletes enter the track and field facility and lay their eyes upon Barrett’s name, that they’re inspired to achieve the heights he achieved both athletically and beyond.”

Joy Ann Havran, Barrett’s mother, was the dynamic force behind this fundraiser, which included delectable tastings from 13 local chefs and their restaurants; a raffle for a Carnival Cruise; live, silent and super silent auctions; and dancing to the music of Last Band Standing, featuring Joe Breedlove ’78.

Emmy Award-winning television sports anchor and broadcast journalist Scott Murray served as the evening’s Master of Ceremonies and live auctioneer.

Joy Ann had a stellar committee of more than 300 people helping her bring this dream to fruition: friends, Barrett’s classmates and members of the Fort Worth community.

“After Barrett’s death, Bob and I set out to raise $1 million for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and, with the help of many people, we did,” she said. “I also said we would raise money through Barrett’s fund at Fort Worth Country Day to benefit his greatest loves – athletics and community service.”

The Perfect 10 Decathlon of Delights is Joy Ann’s gift to Barrett and Fort Worth Country Day. Devised by two of Barrett’s friends, the theme focuses on Barrett’s passion for track and field. A track star at FWCD and in college at The University of Texas at Austin, Barrett went on to become the captain of UT’s track team and a decathlete competing in 10 events. Following graduation, he attended Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law, where he earned a JD and was admitted to the Texas Bar. He gave back to his profession as a member of the Dallas Bar Association, Dallas Association of Young Lawyers, and as an associate member of the Higginbotham American Inn of Court. His commitment to service was ever-present: Barrett was a member of the FALL 2018

United Way Income Council, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tarrant County Board of Directors, Downtown Fort Worth Rotary Club and Leadership Fort Worth. Barrett’s final honor was his posthumous selection to the Fort Worth Business Press “Forty under Forty” Class of 2011.

“I did not know Barrett. Getting to know his parents and talking to his former teachers and coaches, I do know that Barrett loved FWCD and that he was a gift to our community,” said Eric Lombardi, Head of School. “His national-caliber athletic talents, his significant academic gifts, and his wonderful servant leader personality meant he made a difference wherever he went and whatever he did. In naming the track for Barrett, we will have generations of Country Day community members who will come to know a young man who made us a better community.”

It was Joy Ann’s goal to have the event planned and orchestrated by committee volunteers and that every expense would be underwritten or donated so that all ticket and table sales sponsorships, auction, raffle and game revenues would be given to FWCD. Chefs from 13 restaurants provided tasting stations. Jon Bonnell ’89 orchestrated the bringing together of all the restaurants and chefs: Bistro Louise Catering, Chef Louise Lamensdorf Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine, Chef Bonnell Del Frisco’s, Chef Zach Martinez Eddie V’s Fort Worth, Chef Michael Duff Ellerbe Fine Foods, Chef Molly McCook Michaels Cuisine, Chef Michael Thomson Pearl Snap Kolaches, Wade Chappell ’97 Piattello Italian Kitchen, Chef Marcus Paslay Ruth’s Chris Steak House of Fort Worth, Chef Willie Singleton Scratch Catering & Fine Foods, Chef Ted Bilsky The Black Rooster, Owner Immy Khan ’01 The Capital Grille Fort Worth, Chef Derek Venutolo Waters Restaurant, Chef Anthony Felli Many of the restaurants offered up auction items as well.

Chef Paslay provided a tasting menu for 10 and wine 20

pairings at either Piattello Italian Kitchen, Clay Pigeon or an in-home location. It sold above value two times. Chef Bonnell’s ultimate dinner party at Bonnell’s, Waters or an in-home location included a meal for 10 with exquisite rare wines from his personal collection also sold twice above value. The most exciting auction item was the LaServitella Vecchia Villa in Umbria, Italy, which was generously donated by FWCD alumni, Roscoe Chapman ’99 and Flaminia Chapman Terracina ’99. When a bidding war ensued for this palatial Italian villa, it was sold three times.

“I was truly humbled by and thrilled with the communitywide support of The Perfect 10 in memory of Barrett. I was especially touched by the attendance of Barrett’s teachers; coaches; friends; his classmates, both younger and older; and his class, the Class of 1998,” Joy Ann said. “Barrett would have loved this event, as he loved so many people who attended. To know Country Day remembered, loved and honored him in this way would have thrilled him. The 13 years that Barrett attended Country Day were some of the happiest in the lives of our family.”

FWCD Athletic Director Brian Phelps was in awe of The Perfect 10 Decathlon of Delights. It was his first major FWCD event since joining the Country Day community.

“The combination of past and present Falcons along with families that attended because of their relationships with the Havrans was simply remarkable to see,” he said. “The vibe of the night was a true indication of how important Barrett was to so many people, and it is wonderful that we can continue to remember Barrett in such a meaningful way. The money raised creates an opportunity not only to name the track for Barrett, but also ensures that track maintenance can be immediate. It is truly an honor to have the Havran name on our campus so Barrett’s memory can live on forever.”

When looking back at the spectacular night, Joy Ann said she would not change a single thing about the event. “My only regret is that I was unable to talk with everyone who shared the evening with us,” she noted. “I just wish Barrett had been physically there to enjoy the evening, but I know he was with us in spirit. His star will continue to shine brightly at Country Day long after we are gone.”

The Carrington Sisters The Carrington sisters were a force to be reckoned with while students at Fort Worth Country Day. Lisa Carrington Voight ’92, Cheri Carrington Hanson ’92 and Tracy Carrington ’95 were FWCD Originals, starting in 1979 and 1982, respectively. Their parents, Andrea and Frederick Carrington, wanted to provide them with the best education in Fort Worth. They chose FWCD for their girls and then watched them blossom, persevere and succeed beyond their wildest dreams.

“We chose the School through recommendations from friends,” Andrea said. “In looking at private schools in Fort Worth, we felt FWCD offered a well-rounded education and provided opportunities for students to excel in a multitude of areas.”

to write, recognized and encouraged by former Upper School English Teacher Karen Giles in high school, Tracy went on to major in English in college. As a college athlete, she received many accolades, but her ability to write was a definite asset in obtaining her PhD. Cheri, a physician in North Carolina, gained the academic challenge and preparation she needed to succeed in college and medical school. While Cheri also loved sports, her mother said she was not always perceived as an athlete. Cheri was determined, and she ultimately achieved her goals both academically and athletically.

Lisa’s love of art was nurtured as early as kindergarten, continued through high school and led her to major in art in college. In addition to art, Lisa was and still is a strong athlete.

At FWCD, she enjoyed running and cheerleading. That love for athletics continued: Lisa was a Yell Leader at Baylor University and, after college, ran many marathons, including the New York City and Boston Marathons. But Lisa’s true love is art.

The girls embraced the 3A’s as Falcons, excelling at all three.

“Our parents helped us find our passions and instilled confidence in us. Looking back now, I have a much greater appreciation for what my parents gave us when they enrolled us at FWCD,” Lisa said. “I think I can speak for us all by saying we loved that we had the opportunity to engage in rigorous, thought-provoking academics while exploring our passions in the arts and athletics. What’s great is that we were not limited to just one thing; we had the chance to try everything, and we were expected to try everything.”

Tracy, a sports psychologist in Fort Worth, was and still is a strong athlete and a fierce competitor. With a natural ability

Pushed to broaden their horizons, the girls found that they had a drive to excel and persevere in each of the A’s.

The Artist: Lisa Carrington Voight ’92 Lisa credits FWCD, along with her parents, with helping her find her artistic flair. Former Art Department Chair Lelia Koeppe became her mentor. Lisa would pursue projects outside of class because the art process gave her a sense of balance. “When I was around 6 years old, I received colored pencils for Christmas, and that was it for me. I’d found my ‘thing,’” Lisa said. “Art – specifically drawing – became my escape. I loved to explore my creative side.”

Yet, she also was a solid athlete, participating in cross country, soccer, cheerleading and track. “I was competitive, but not like my sisters,” Lisa said. “I enjoyed running and the endorphin release. It was a way for me to de-stress. As young girls, we were all trying to figure out what we were good at.”

Outside of school, Lisa took gymnastics and tumbling, so she was a natural cheerleader, strong and a good stunter. She enjoyed being part of a group. “Thanks to coaches like Mr. [Joe] Breedlove [’78], I experienced team,” she said. “The experience of winning and losing provided real life lessons.”

It was academically that Lisa felt she had to work the hardest.

“Academics and reading seemed to come very easy to my twin, Cheri. Not so much for me,” Lisa shared. “I felt I had to work longer and harder to understand concepts. With the help of my teachers, I created my own study skills and organizational techniques. I was in Middle School when I truly figured out how I learn best. Flashcards were my friends. I practiced labs over and over to ensure I understood the concepts, but reading was still a struggle. I just didn’t soak it up.”

But nothing could stop Lisa. She steadfastly pursued excellence in all areas – a trait that all the Carrington sisters embrace. At one point, Lisa thought she might attend The University of 24

Texas at Austin with Cheri, but at the last minute, she decided Baylor University, a college with a small-town feel, would be a better fit. She knew that she would major in something artrelated. “FWCD truly helped me realize that art was my passion and that I had a future in it,” she said.

Embracing her competitive nature as a Baylor Yell Leader, Lisa was selected with 11 fellow Baylor teammates to be among 400 of the nation’s collegiate cheerleaders to perform during opening ceremonies of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

The 1996 Olympic Cheerleading Squad was selected through a video audition process that demonstrated the squad’s cheering, stunting, jumping and dancing ability. The National Cheerleaders Association and ceremony producers chose 20 squads out of numerous entries.

“FWCD truly helped me realize

that art was my passion and that I had a future in it.

– Lisa Carrington Voight ’92 In 1996, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design; married her husband, Jason Voight; and moved to Wichita, Kansas, in hopes of finding a job as a graphic artist. She spent some time in retail graphics, but found something missing. “I loved printmaking, painting and drawing, and creating jewelry,” she said. “While I was skilled at creating designs using a computer and specialized software as a graphic artist, I missed doing things the old-fashioned way – using my hands. On the computer, I lacked that creative connection and flow.”

The couple returned to Fort Worth in 1997, and, since then, Lisa has pursued art her way. She paints unique pieces for commercial and residential clients – big or small – whimsical to realistic. If you can dream it, Lisa brings it to life. At first,

she gained small jobs, painting children’s rooms from wordof-mouth referrals. She painted the rooms of her children, Judson and Sawyer, with whimsical borders and designs.

Her works can now be found in major locations like Cook Children’s Medical Center, Harris Methodist Hospital, schools, churches and more.

One of her most recent jobs included creating faux tiles on a stairway to look like Mexican tiles. “I’ve found that I look forward to an artistic challenge now,” she said, “and I enjoy seeing the joy my art brings to others whether it’s in the home, in the Fort Worth community or in a publication. It’s incredibly gratifying and makes me recall my time at FWCD.”

Fellow alumnus Randy Eisenman ’93, Managing Partner of Satori Capital, commissioned Lisa to create a wall of words with his company’s mission, vision and values statement.

“I was hesitant because it was different from anything I’ve done, but I can’t back down from a challenge,” Lisa said. “We worked on the project collaboratively, and the outcome was great.”

Honored with FWCD’s Falcon Star (the School’s highest award for alumni artists) in 2006, Lisa is following in the footsteps of her parents as she fosters her children’s passions.

“I’d like to think that I’m providing a safe environment for my children to explore what they love and to learn just like my mom and dad did for me,” she said. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to thank them enough for what they gave me.”

Judson and Sawyer currently attend Starpoint School at TCU. Both Jud and Sawyer were students at FWCD for grades K and 1, but started to struggle with dyslexia and dysgraphia.

In 2011, she joined forces with another alumna, Jennifer Gains Drez ’90, and a friend and FWCD parent, Robin Bumstead, to illustrate Goodnight Cowtown (2012). Lisa and Jennifer continued to collaborate and prepared Goodnight San Antonio (2013) and Goodnight Dallas (2014). Each book, featuring localized Texas culture and city heritage, includes 32 intricate illustrations displaying unique assets of the city. “It took me about a month to complete each one,” Lisa said. “I absolutely loved the process.”

“Attending K-12 at FWCD was my dream, the picture in my mind, for my kids,” Lisa shared. “FWCD is such an exceptional place. But the teachers and admission team helped me find the right school for their learning challenges.

I like to think all schools would do this for their struggling students. One day, I hope Jud and Sawyer will be Falcons again.”

The Doctor: Cheri Carrington Hanson ’92 Cheri is a pediatric intensivist at WakeMed Health & Hospitals in North Carolina. Board certified in pediatrics and pediatric critical care and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Cheri’s areas of interest include general pediatrics, as well as the clinical care of critically ill children. While her father, Frederick, and her grandfather and great-grandfather were all physicians, Cheri was set on following a different path.

A self-proclaimed math and science geek, Cheri admired and respected her Physics Teacher at Country Day, Andy Cordell.

“Mr. Cordell made class so fun, and his lessons were always so hands-on,” she said. “You could tell he loved the subject he was teaching. His passion was evident. He inspired me to want to be passionate about my career.” She wanted to be a Physics Teacher.

Taking all the Honors and AP math and science classes she could became Cheri’s focus. “The subject matter came easily to me because I had such great teachers,” she noted. “Math and science just made sense.”

Cheri describes her academic life at Country Day as full of fun teachers and challenging classes. She thrived in the classroom. “I didn’t know it at the time, but those AP classes were helpful because in college I either placed out of classes because of my already high level of study or I was so wellprepared for the class because of the foundation my Country Day teachers laid.”

Cheri was also a fluent Spanish speaker. Like all FWCD students, she began her language in Lower School. “Mr. [Philip] Floyd was my Spanish teacher. He was a vibrant instructor,” she said. “I remember meeting outdoors; we weren’t confined to the classroom. Like Mr. Cordell, he simply made learning fun. Academics were never a chore.”

THE FALCONER

Cheri’s artistic endeavors were more dabbling in nature. “Lisa was always the artist, that was clear from the beginning,” Cheri said. “I learned the skill of drawing and painting, but I could never create something new. Lisa had that talent. I used art as a release.”

Her main release, however, was athletics. Like her sisters, she participated in track and cross country. “For me, it wasn’t so much about the competition, although I loved to compete,” she said. “Running was just fun for me at FWCD. I was always in the back of the pack, but the coaches liked my cando, will-do attitude and worked with me.”

Coaches like Breedlove and Art Atkinson took Cheri under their wing. Cheri recalls Atkinson running with her on weekends and working with her on technique outside of school practice. Cheri’s dream was to go to the University of Colorado in Boulder to ski or to run track at The University of Texas at Austin. She decided during her junior year that running was much safer. “I had it in my brain that I was going to walk on to that UT track team,” she said.

She shared this goal with her coaches, who helped her devise a plan. Breedlove contacted the UT coaches and put in a good word for Cheri, and she received the walk-on expectations.

“I learned I should be running 50 miles a week at a 7-minute mile pace, which was not much faster than my race pace at the time,” she said. “Joe helped me come up with a pace that was safe for my body. I ran the 50 miles a week, but at a tempo that worked for me.

“What I will never forget is that FWCD supported my goal and never once did any of the coaches vocalize that my goal was a stretch,” Cheri continued. “That perseverance, that passion to succeed, is a Carrington-sister trait. No one tells us no. We pave our own way, and will make it happen.”

Her hard work paid off, and Cheri was a member of the UT track team from 1992-95. Getting used to the schedule of an athlete proved challenging for Cheri at first when she failed some exams during her first semester. “All I did was run and

sleep,” she said. “I had friends who said I had mono, but I knew I didn’t. My body just had to adjust to this new routine so I could focus.” Cheri sought out the help she needed and never looked back. As a senior in 1995, she was team captain and earned the MVP award.

Those FWCD Honors and AP classes gave Cheri a leg up in college. She placed out of some math and science classes, including first-semester Calculus, but had to take a math class second semester. She quickly realized math was not her thing, which meant her Physics Teacher dreams were dashed.

“I loved my biology class and decided to change my major to pre-med,” she said. “In retrospect, this always should have been my major, but I appreciate that my father, an OB/GYN from a long line of physicians, let me find my own way to this decision.”

She also pursued a Spanish minor. Cheri was only two classes away as a senior. “My dad proposed I stay at UT for a fifth year so that I could complete a double major in Biology and Spanish, as well as study abroad. Whose dad suggests that?” Cheri said. “My dad, that’s who. That’s how important education and cultural experiences were to him.”

her mind. “It suddenly became crystal clear to me,” she said.

“Every job I ever had had to do with children. I remember running a summer day camp for 3- to 6-year olds with classmates John [Batton ’92] and Mary Batton [Kendall ’95]. I should have seen the writing on the wall. Kids were my thing.”

Cheri was studying for her MCATs at the time and decided to talk to some medical school deans about deferring her enrollment for a year to take advantage of the study abroad opportunity. She spoke to many deans at some of the major medical schools in Texas about this plan. Only one school said yes: UT Galveston, her father’s, her grandfather’s and her great-grandfather’s alma mater. In the end, Cheri only applied to UT Galveston. She got in, she deferred, and she went to Spain the summer before her fifth year to hone her language skills, study art and immerse herself in the culture.

Cheri earned her medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and then completed her pediatric residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. She finished her fellowship in pediatric critical care at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition to her board certification, Cheri is certified in pediatric advanced life support and advanced trauma life support. She is proficient in Spanish, using that language skill almost daily.

Her academic interests include systems improvement, patient safety, resuscitation, and communication with bilingual families.

She spent her fifth year at UT taking business and Spanish classes, adding a minor in Business. “I thought I’d go into private practice at some point in my career,” she said. “So having a bit of a business background would be helpful.”

When she’s not working at the hospital, she is playing with her kids, Brian, 6, and Carly, 3; camping or traveling with family; or running.

At UT Galveston, Cheri excelled. She figured she’d become an OB/GYN like her dad. “It seemed like a no-brainer,” Cheri said. “It’s a pretty exciting specialty. For the most part, the patients are young and healthy, you are delivering good news … ‘Hey, you’re having a baby!’ It’s a happy profession.”

When she completed her pediatrics rotation, she changed

Cheri credits her Country Day athletic experiences for teaching her discipline and hard work. “Athletics, high school and college, is one of the reasons I got into medical school,” she said. “Athletics taught me discipline and perseverance.

I also learned about failure and how to pick myself up and move forward. My athletic experiences were about so much more than running around the track.”

The Athlete: Tracy Carrington ’95 Tracy knows first-hand all about chasing the everelusive goal of performance excellence. At Country Day, she was well rounded, just like Lisa and Cheri, but her passion was more athletically oriented. Today, she is a competitive bike racer and a sports psychologist.

At Country Day, she was involved in cross country, track, cheer and soccer, earning 15 varsity letters upon graduation.

Early on, she took ballet in Lower School. “But when I realized I was going to miss Field Day, I was out,” Tracy said.

“I still remember the Presidential Fitness Test in fourth grade.

I ran the fastest mile, did the most sit-ups, but fell short on the flexed arm hang. I was a fierce competitor so, for an entire year, all I thought about was conquering that arm hang test.”

She loved school, but struggled to get A’s as she was diagnosed with mild dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. “I have memories in kindergarten of struggling to read simple passages, so I would try to memorize what the girl in front of me had said and repeat it,” Tracy said. “I just wanted to fit in and do what was expected of me.” Luckily, Tracy’s FWCD teachers recognized this very quickly and provided the support and reinforcement she needed to be successful in spite of those struggles. “I had so many people who reinforced for me that I am intelligent, I am smart … I just learn differently,” she said.

Her OB/GYN father was a fixture at FWCD, guest speaking during the seventh-grade sex education class taught by Sharon Foster H’05. “I was proud of him, yet having your father discuss the reproduction cycle in front of all of your friends is mortifying,” Tracy said. “Mrs. Foster recognized my embarrassment and, with humor and understanding, brought levity to the situation.”

When Tracy was feeling low, her mom, Andrea, was her 28

counselor: “She told me, ‘When someone talks badly about another person, it says more about the person doing the talking because happy people don’t have to criticize others to make themselves feel better,’” Tracy shared. “I was exceptionally lucky to be born into my family. My sisters are both incredible role models, both extremely talented in their own unique ways. Although the three of us were in high school at the same time, my parents were able to celebrate and challenge each of us individually. They instilled accountability for our actions, respect for ourselves and others, gratitude, and a growth mindset. They are simply the type of parents everyone needs.”

Giles, Tracy’s English Teacher, knew that she struggled in class, but also recognized something special about Tracy. “She helped me learn how to better organize my thoughts and put them on paper. She refused to accept what I believed to be true, that I just wasn’t any good at writing.” Tracy said, “Ironically, I ended up writing a 350-page dissertation. This was thanks, in large part, to CDS and the emphasis it places on writing.” In that dissertation, Tracy thanked FWCD. Arts were part of Tracy’s life; she enjoyed them, but never felt the same connections as Lisa and Cheri. “I enjoyed the musicals and photography, but was terrified to talk in front of people,” she said. “It’s funny because now I talk for a living.”

Tracy’s safe place was the gym, the soccer field or the track.

Like her sisters, there was nothing Tracy couldn’t do. She was set on living up to the Carrington name and breaking records.

In Middle School, Coach Butch Traeder H’16 told Tracy he thought she could break a 6-minute mile. “It was my first sports psychology moment and very pivotal to why I chose this profession,” she noted. “We worked together in sixth, seventh and eighth grades to achieve this goal. I was obsessed.

My parents were worried that I wouldn’t be able to do it and would be devastated, but with Traeder’s help I knew I could.”

She vividly recalls the MISC meet at Greenhill School.

“Coach Traeder said, ‘Today is the day,’” Tracy said. “I can still remember that race like it was yesterday. I ran 5:57, one

second short of breaking the School record. Even though no record had been broken, as an eighth-grader, it still felt like one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Just an incredible experience to set a goal and work toward it for three years and finally achieve it. The process helped instill in me a leave-no-stone-unturned approach to the goals I pursue.” Tracy went on to break the high school FWCD records in the 800m, mile and 4x800m relay.

“ My success, both academically and athletically, is thanks to my FWCD teachers and coaches.

”

– Tracy Carrington ’95

Despite being new to the skill, she was expected to be competitive on a national level. Tracy was provided a sports psychology consultant for the first time. “I attended my first session and to say he changed my life is an understatement,” Tracy said. “He was the missing piece of my performance puzzle.” Her consultant also encouraged her to take martial arts. “I learned to be in the moment, to let go of mistakes and refocus my attention on what was next. I ended up earning a black belt, but, more importantly, I learned how to breathe.”

As the result of learning new techniques and being mentally prepared for competition, Tracy gained recognition in this NCAA event. She became the Tennessee team captain, the 1999 Southeastern Conference Champion, an All-American, the school record-holder and a 2000 Olympic Trial qualifier.

Her best jump: 13’9”.

She graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in English Literature and, a year later, earned a Master of Science in Kinesiology specializing in Sports Psychology.

Over the years, Tracy’s life was touched by many teachers and coaches. “Mr. Atkinson taught me to be present on the track; Mr. [Bill] Baker [H’12] was my history teacher who called me out for having poor body language while being recognized in a School assembly. He said, ‘I don’t ever want to see you do that again. When you are praised for your accomplishments, you hold your head high.’ Coach [Paige Farris] Chisholm [’87] and Mrs. [Susan] Crummel taught me the importance of leadership and what it means to be part of a team,” Tracy said. “I am not sure I would have survived sports at FWCD if not for Trainer Ed [Chisholm] piecing me back together both physically and mentally. Coach Breedlove believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself and was that coach I just wanted to make proud. These people and so many more from the FWCD community took the time and left their mark in my life, helping shape who I am both personally and professionally. I often wonder where I would be without CDS. This school taught me how to set goals and how to actively pursue and achieve them.”

As a result of Tracy’s success, she was recruited to run cross country and track and field at the University of Colorado, Boulder. After two challenging years falling short of her personal goals, she shifted her focus to pole vaulting, where she quickly found she had a knack for launching through the air. This led to her recruitment by The University of Tennessee to pole vault.

Tracy trained professionally as a pole vaulter after finishing her degrees while also coaching high school track. When she realized her time as a pole vaulter was over, Tracy decided to further her education again: She earned a doctorate in Kinesiology with a specialization in Sports Psychology from Michigan State University. While in Michigan she also had her son, Cal Neubauer ’26.

After graduating in 2010, Tracy returned to Fort Worth, where she established her private practice as a performance specialist. With the development of Mind Game Performance, LLC, Tracy works with athletes and coaches, as well as performing artists and business professionals at all levels, nationally and internationally, to share what she has learned through competition and education. Cal is now following in his mom’s Falcon footsteps at the School, and Tracy couldn’t be happier that her son is experiencing the time-honored 3A’s.

“I always wanted Cal to have the FWCD experience. I want my child to be challenged and ultimately learn from those challenges,” she said. “Looking back, I realize how lucky I was to have teachers at CDS who took the time to develop my academic skills and not just give up on me. These teachers made me believe I was worth it, and I wanted to show them that their time spent working with me hadn’t been wasted.

“My success, both academically and athletically, is thanks to my FWCD teachers and coaches,” Tracy continued.

“I moved back to the area because of FWCD – so Cal could attend. Like Lisa, I had a dream for my child.

FWCD is that dream.”

THE FALCONER

Value of the 3A’s For the Carrington family, there was never any choice other than Fort Worth Country Day. “Fort Worth is fortunate to have more than one good private school,” said mother Andrea Carrington. “Country Day has the most well-rounded education of any school in our city. The emphasis on learning to write is one area that sets the School apart.”

Seeing her grandson, Cal, at the School is an affirmation to Andrea. “All three girls have their children in private schools. They are willing to sacrifice to provide a good education as they realize the value of private education,” she said. “The best thing they said years after graduating was that Country Day was the best gift we ever gave them.

“The best part of FWCD is that it provides a great education in a nurturing environment of small classes and outstanding faculty,” Andrea continued. “It allowed my daughters to choose the career paths they wished to pursue and provided them with the tools to do so. What more could any parent ask of a school?”

Microsoft featured Shree Bose ’12 front and center in national ads earlier this year, and she became a viral star on the Fort Worth Country Day campus as faculty, staff and alumni shared on social media that they were seeing Bose in ads all over the country in every time zone. Since her whirlwind Google Science Fair win in 2011 (she was the inaugural winner) for research she did relating to ovarian cancer and her graduation from high school in 2012, Bose has not slowed down.

She took a 10-day trip to the Galapagos Islands, went on an international speaking tour to promote science and research to youth, spoke at TEDx and Girlstart forums, and met then President Barack Obama. All before starting college – at Harvard University.

“I was incredibly lucky to do my undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard,” Bose noted.

“During my time there, I had incredible mentors – from the professors who were doing the kind of groundbreaking research that inspired my journey in science – to my classmates who continue to inspire me with everything they do.”

As a college junior, she co-founded Piper (playpiper.com) with Mark Pavlyukovskyy. Piper, which allows students to build and run a computer while playing Minecraft, was funded through Kickstarter in March 2015. The duo’s goal: to encourage learning outside of the classroom in a fun, engaging way.

While busy being a student and entrepreneur, Bose found time to enjoy the life of a traditional college student. “So FALL 2018

much of my experience [at Harvard] was made special by the lifelong friends I made, whether it was going to Harvard-Yale with my blockmates, staying up all night to finish projects with my classmates, or even doing things completely out of my comfort zone like waking up super early to row on the Charles with the intramural Dunster Team during my senior year … and definitely failing,” Bose shared. She did all this while working on a thesis on metabolism neurons, working in Professor of Neurobiology Gary Yellen’s Lab at Harvard Medical School, and serving as Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Science Review and Design Editor for Harvard Crimson (student newspaper).

allows students to get onto the wards faster, but enables students to participate in dedicated research during their third year. “The first year of medical school was quite a whirlwind. It’s incredible how much there is to know about human anatomy and physiology,” Bose said. “One of the quintessential medical school experiences, cadaver dissections, brought that to the forefront of my mind. In our dissections, it was quite surreal to peel away layers of muscle and fascia and realize that every little piece had a name and function that had been so well studied for so many centuries before. When you bring that granularity of the one muscle or one organ into the context of a whole person with a life and a family lying on the table in front of you, it’s quite – Shree Bose ’12 humbling.”

“ A really great aspect of

being a part of the FWCD community is also the connection to an incredible network of alumni who are doing really cool things.

Upon graduation from Harvard, Bose had to decide between continuing her education in medical school or forging ahead in the entrepreneurial world with Piper. “I grew up watching my parents work hard to start their own small business, and that dedication inspired me,” she said. “So when I had the chance to work on a project that later grew into Piper, I jumped at the opportunity to create something I knew would be meaningful to the thousands of kids around the world who would use the product. I think in some ways, college was a time when I was able to explore this completely different world of tech entrepreneurship, complete with its own challenges and barriers, especially as a female co-founder.”

A far cry from the world of medicine and research that she knew well, Bose said that walking the line between these worlds gave her insights into crossovers that she hopes will be a part of her future career. “Ultimately, when I reached the crossroads of choosing between continuing to work with Piper full time or medical school, it was a question of what career would be fulfilling for me,” she said. “In that regard, being in the medical field, asking basic science questions that could have a huge impact on people who were ill, was what I wanted to dedicate my life to.”

Her next step: Duke University Medical School. Duke’s curriculum combines the first two years of preclinical work at other medical schools into one condensed year, which

”

Year two was eye-opening and challenging for Bose as she rotated through different specialties. “It’s been a fascinating year in terms of the breadth of experiences I’ve been privileged to have. Working in a hospital, I had the chance to be there for some of the worst points of my patients’ lives – whether it was holding the hand of a scared young woman as we ran an ultrasound over her stomach to see an ovarian tumor or the moment when a young man was wheeled through the door with a bullet wound in his abdomen,” Bose said.

“But sometimes, I’ve had the chance to be there for the best moments – to hug a 3-year-old finishing his last dose of chemo or to hold a newborn baby and watch the faces of her parents light up.”

Now in her third year of medical school, Bose, who is pursuing the MD/PhD program, is training in both medicine and basic sciences. “I think what has drawn me to science from an early age is the ability to ask interesting questions,” she said. “The process of learning enough about a field to be able to ask insightful questions, designing a way to test them, executing, and then being able to have an answer is an incredibly powerful approach to the world around us. I was lucky to have great scientific mentors early in my brother, Pinaki, and my dad.

“The questions that fascinate me are the ones that bring together what we learn at the bench with the people we’ll be taking care of at the hospital bedside,” Bose continued. “The MD/PhD was the right option for me to gain the credentials for the career I would like in the future.”

While far away from Fort Worth and FWCD, Bose remains connected to her teachers and classmates. “Some of my favorite memories from my time at FWCD were the extracurriculars I had the chance to work on, whether it was swimming on our record-breaking relay team, stirring up some debate with our resurrection of the Forum [student opinion magazine] or staying at school late to design the latest issue of The Quill,” Bose said. “I’m lucky to have gone to a place that let me grow so much as a student and a person.

“FWCD was a wonderful place to grow, and it’s been lovely to follow along with my classmates’ success and accomplishments through social media,” Bose continued. “A really great aspect of being a part of the FWCD community is also the connection to an incredible network of alumni who are doing really cool things. I’m actually lucky to call Geraldine Acuna [Sunshine ’88], an FWCD and Harvard graduate, a mentor and to follow along with her successes.”

Bose’s mentors are many, starting with her parents and brother and including FWCD faculty. “Mrs. [Sharon] Hamilton taught me the basics of AP Biology and Mrs. [Lisa] Wallace taught me how to use InDesign and think critically about how to communicate,” she said.

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Bose said, “I’m still trying to figure that out because I definitely don't feel grown up yet! Going through the MD/ PhD program is quite a long process, but I’m hopeful that it will set me up for the career at the intersection of medicine and research that I want. Whether that career will involve training with residency or bringing some of my entrepreneurship interests into a potential biotech company, I have a while to figure out. But I do know that I want to blend bench and bedside [in my career] to make the discoveries that help people live better lives.”

Normandy 2018

by Bill Arnold ’86, Director of Special Projects We all have sacred spaces. One of mine is Omaha Beach. I first traveled to Normandy, France, in 2000 with my then FWCD colleague and friend Dr. Suzanne Lewis. It was on this trip that I first experienced Omaha Beach on a rising tide.

I have since been back many times.

This past summer’s alumni trip with Debby Arnold, Robert Arnold ’14, Frasher (Hudson ’81) and John Pergande, Ric Bonnell ’85, Michaella Dietrich ’02 and Madi Bass ’13 was the best ever, and, for some reason, I enjoyed the conversations and dinner and walks and picnics more than I ever have.

On this inaugural FWCD Alumni Association trip to Normandy and the D-Day Beaches (June 12-17, 2018), we spent five days together, exploring Bayeux, Bénouville, Ranville, Crépon, Sainte Mère Eglise, Le Mont Saint Michel, and many other villages of historical significance.

It doesn’t take a great imagination to envision the landings of June 6, 1944. It was on that morning that Americans from the 1st and 29th infantry divisions splashed ashore and established a foothold in France, opening the long-awaited second front against Nazi Germany. In many ways, the beginning of the end of Hitler’s regime started that day.

My favorite spot on Omaha Beach is the Dog Green sector just below the sleepy hamlet of Vierville-sur-Mer. There you can observe remnants of a Mulberry harbor, pocked German casemates, and, as you look east on a clear morning, you can see the entire length of the five-mile beach. Today, it is calm and beautiful and free of obstacles.

But it was on this stretch of Norman coastline that Allied forces suffered the heaviest losses on June 6. Pre-sighted artillery and mortars, beach mines, hardened bunkers and the natural half-moon shape of Omaha made it a perfect kill sack for the defenders.

Of the 12,000 Allied casualties sustained on D-Day, more than 3,700 occurred on Omaha Beach. German losses, more difficult to confirm, may have been as high as 9,000 on June

Robert ’14, Debby and Bill ’86 Arnold

6. We mustn’t forget that over 3,000 French civilians died from Allied bombs and naval gunfire. There was plenty of dying to go around.

Students often ask me why Omaha Beach was assaulted at low tide, which required troops to cross 400 yards of open beach before finding relative safety below the cliffs. It is a great question. According to Rick Atkinson’s book, The Guns at Last Light, Allied planners decided on a 6:30 a.m. assault because of the unique qualities of the Norman tidal flows. Landing on the rising tide “would permit landing craft to ferry the assault force as far up the exposed beach as possible, but without stranding the boats on falling water as the tide retreated” (GLL, 64).

The fighting on “Bloody Omaha” was just the beginning of America’s war in Western Europe. Over the next 11 months, our forces faced a resolute enemy determined to fight to the last man. From June 6, 1944, until war’s end, the U.S. suffered 587,000 casualties, with more than 135,000 dead.

30,421 still lie in France in six cemeteries managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission.

An old British military maxim states that “he who has not fought the Germans does not know war.” When the guns fell silent in May 1945, the U.S. had indeed known war.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to travel to Omaha Beach at some time in their lives. Try to find a good guide. If you do, I believe you will find the journey meaningful.

Retired Faculty –

Where are They Now?

By Debby Jennings

Scottie Bartel LS Spanish 1985-2006 “Retirement makes it possible for my husband, Harry, and me to travel any time we want,” Scottie shared. Two favorite destinations: Taos, NM, where they are close to son, George ’92, and Isabel.

The second destination is Wellesley, MA, where their younger son, Chris ’90, lives with wife, Darcey, and their three children. They also enjoy cruises every three months or so.

Scottie said the downside of retirement is that she misses the faculty and students and the beautiful campus. She often spots former students when she’s out and about in Fort Worth, and loves when they say hello. “I see them taking their place as adults in the community, and I am so proud,” she said.

Scottie also has served on the Van Cliburn Foundation board. The couple attend Cliburn, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Music Society concerts. She sings in the First Presbyterian Chancel Choir and the Sunshine Special, a Junior League sustainer group that sings for retirement communities. Scottie loves gardening and playing with her little dog, Teddy.

Norma Wilkerson H’07 US English/ Biology 1976-2011 Soon after retirement, Norma put her love of the outdoors into action as a Texas Master Naturalist and is a current Elm Fork Chapter member. She volunteers at the AgriLife Office in Denton and at Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) in Fort Worth. “At BRIT, I have worked with FWCD Lower School students during their field trips and experienced the unexpected pleasure of taking FWCD alumni and their families on tours,” Norma said.

Norma and Wayne make frequent trips to Arkansas, to visit son, Weston ’98; his wife; and their grandson, Haaken.

The couple also travels to visit their daughter, Marit ’02. Norma’s 92-yearold mom lives in the family home in McCamey, so they often travel to West Texas.

Since 1996, Norma has worked as a College Board Consultant for AP English Language and AP English Literature. Thanks to invitations from FWCD teachers and an AP U.S. History teacher at Carroll Senior High, she substitutes and is frequently asked to work with FWCD students in the Writing Center.

Dan Foust US Math 1980-2013 Dan and his wife, Linda, moved to a two-acre property in Weir soon after retirement. “It’s a good thing I’m retired because I don’t have time to teach along with my new retirement duties,” Dan said. His job: being a grandpa. Daughter, Erica Foust Haley ’94 and her husband, Thomas, have two young sons, Evan and Ian. Dan enjoys woodworking and handcrafts pens, seam rippers, chain pulls, cutting boards and bowls. He continues to serve as a scouting volunteer with the Boy Scouts, and, though retired from the U.S. Army, he is active in two veteran organizations. Dan stays connected to FWCD attending Club Viginti dinners or recognition programs for alumni and former faculty/staff.

Dan shared some advice that he would give to his former students: “Shine,” he said. “Be a beacon to those who are lost and be a spotlight to those who need to be recognized; provide a warm glow to those who need to be cared for.”

The Board of Trustees’ ultimate responsibility is to ensure the continuing success of Fort Worth Country Day. Long-term, strategic thinking was especially salient in the 2017-18 year. The focus was on the Strategic Plan, which we released in January 2018. Work also began in earnest on the Campus Master Plan. With the help of Lake|Flato, we are assessing our future facility needs with an eye toward renovation complemented by new construction.

The 2018 Strategic Plan inspires us to be a School of Significance. Fort Worth Country Day is an important institution, not only in the lives of our students, but in the fabric of our city and of every city around the globe where our graduates become productive citizens. The plan highlights four overarching goals. They are to:

Inspire Innovation and Excellence throughout the FWCD Experience Play a More Integral Role in Fort Worth and the Greater Community Expand Access and Diversity Assure Sustainability

The Strategic Planning Committee, led by former Trustee Stuart McDonald, included faculty and administration members Hester Burdman, Dorrine DeChant, Heather Goldman, Bill Arnold ’86 and Joe Breedlove ’78; parent community representative Peter Philpott; and current and past Board members David Ekstrom ’75, Shannon Young Ray ’80, Ken Huffman, Gantt Bumstead and Dorris Morrisette. We are exceptionally appreciative for the time the committee members dedicated to the process and their help in creating a plan that will guide us in the coming years.

The FWCD Fund is a major income line item in our annual operating budget. During the 2017-18 academic year, parent participation was 86 percent, and faculty/staff participation was 100 percent for the fifth year in a row.

Total giving to the School was $2,274,944 with $819,797 in unrestricted giving. A very special thank you to some of our dedicated volunteers and their respective committees during the 2017-18 school year: Advancement Chair Quintin Cassady, FWCD Fund Chairs Pam and Jamie Packer, PFA President Lori Bruce, Falcon Club Co-Presidents Holly and Josh ’92 Korman, Alumni Council President Rob Semple ’95, Grandparent Chairs Barbi and Stanley Eisenman, and Supporting CAST President Pam Darrow. We are also incredibly grateful for the essential support of our donors.

I feel extraordinarily fortunate to serve as Board President for FWCD. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Laura Bonnell Alexander ’88 2017-19 President, Board of Trustees

Lower School Atrium Do you remember performing in the Kindergarten Rodeo? What was your role?

We hope you’ll join us to relive this FWCD tradition with us as the K-Rodeo turns 50! Dan Bloch H’06 will be there playing the banjo –– just like he has been for all 50 years!

Alumni and former faculty/staff are invited to a special performance followed by a lunch in the Lou and Nick Martin Campus Center.
