A Message from the Head of School

Giving and receiving kindness are easy ways to feel good and to help others feel good too. People, organizations, and societies thrive when they are grounded in a culture of kindness.

— VIVEK MURTHY

With attributes such as precious, enduring, and strong, one can see how platinum was selected as the metal to represent a 70th anniversary. This year, Harbor Day School celebrates its 70th year, and precious, enduring, and strong aptly describe the state of HDS – the first independent school in Orange County.

We chose “kindness” as the theme for Harbor Day’s 70th year. Hopefully, kindness has prevailed throughout our school’s history, and we wanted to spotlight kindness this year. Our students and faculty have embraced this theme and demonstrated kindness in many ways on campus. I particularly like that an eighth grader and a seventh grader lead the Kindness Club and serve as examples for younger students as they plan activities to spread kindness at school. You will learn some specific activities that the Kindness Club has created in this issue of The Beacon.

Always Home: The Campaign for Harbor Day is nearing completion, and we have enjoyed reconnecting with many of our alumni. It’s always heartwarming to learn of the many ways that our alumni stay connected. You can catch up with many of them in our Class Notes section. Also, be on the lookout for a Grammy nominee and two people currently working for Google!

On the cusp of becoming alumni, our eighth graders enjoy a busy year, both making final HDS memories and strengthening their skills to prepare for high school. A feature of the

eighth grade curriculum is the opportunity to take an elective course. In “Sparking Fun and Creativity: The Eighth Grade Elective Program,” Middle School Director Susan Johnson shares the range of electives, from handbell choir to mountain biking, available to our eighth grade students. Right now, the eighth graders are busy preparing for the Eighth Grade Musical, We Will Rock You: The Music of Queen. I can’t wait to enjoy this lively show, which will be the last one we hold outdoors. Next year, we will enjoy shows in our new 500-seat theater.

Finally, we all can’t wait to complete the new HDS campus! We already reap the rewards of the Phase 1 classroom, STEAM, library, and administrative building. Completion of the new gym, theater, field, playground, and outdoor courts will give us a school that will be precious, enduring, and strong for at least another 70 years.

Dedicated is the recurring word used to describe the parents, students, and teachers at Harbor Day School in a fall 1973 article in The Beacon about the “new” school’s dedication ceremony. It’s no surprise that the dedication to this special place has persisted for seven decades, starting with the Reverend Paul Wheeler and a deeply committed group of parents who, in 1952, started St. James Day School out of a small parish on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach1. The school grew gradually and has undergone several transformations, but the dedication to providing quality education remains unchanged. As Harbor Day School enters a new phase, it is poised to continue its journey of excellence and growth.

HARBOR LIGHTS

By Noelle Becker

This famous quote attributed to the Greek storyteller Aesop puts into the words the idea that kindness in any form creates a sense of empathy and understanding for one another. In the 2022-2023 school year, kindness is an overarching theme at Harbor Day School. We believe that demonstrating kindness can help create a positive and inclusive environment. And when students are inclusive, supportive, and respectful, they can foster a sense of community and belonging on campus. Middle school students at Harbor Day have been a driving force in promoting and encouraging kindness across all grade levels.

For example, members of the Kindness Club have made it their goal to model kindness. The club— made up of seventh and eighth graders—meets every Friday during lunch recess. Student leaders on each grade-level team determine how they should spread kindness in the community. Teacher and Kindness Club Advisor Ms. Khanhvy Phan explains the club’s goal. “The students are trying to bring people together and think about others. They work to get out of their routine and be kind to themselves and others.” Colton Mossman'23, president of the Kindness Club, explains why he got involved.

“I joined Kindness Club because when I was in sixth grade, I saw the impact that it had on the community. My favorite Kindness Club activity this year has been decorating pumpkins during Halloween. The pumpkins went to faculty members, and it was a great way to show the school’s appreciation for them.” For seventh grader and vice president of the Kindness Club Luke Bellman, “paying it forward” was something he really wanted to focus on. “There were so many times that someone was kind to me last year, and now I am in a position where I can give that kindness back to Harbor Day. In doing so, I have learned a lot about the impact of small acts of kindness.”

In the fall, the club crafted and put into motion the Kindness Challenge, which challenged middle school students to spread compassion across grade levels. A “chain” of kindness spread throughout the entire middle school as students carried out various kind deeds. For example, one group of eighth graders came together and caroled from class to class (with teacher permission, of course). Another group aimed to get their teacher Mr. Kerr to smile. The best part of the challenge was seeing the positive reactions from those who received the kind deeds. Eighth grade student Campbell Kelly feels that events like the Kindness Challenge have helped spread compassion in the HDS community. “I think middle school has become a kinder place since we started the kindness activities because people have been using the skills we learned in Kindness Club and implementing them into their everyday lives.” Seventh grader Adeleine Chen also feels that the Kindness Club brought people together. “Kindness Club gave me the opportunity to talk with members that I rarely talk with, and now I know them better.”

The impact of kindness is evident in the Harbor Day School community. Luke Bellman sensibly notes that even though we are only human, we all have the potential to do better. “I think it would be foolish to say that Harbor Day is a perfect school with no flaws, but the Kindness Club always tries its best to spread kindness, and from what I've seen, we have been, in many cases, successful. However, we cannot drown out hate with hate, so we must continue to glow brighter and spread kindness.” The club’s positive message to spread compassion at Harbor Day School and in our greater community is just one small step. But it is a step toward making the world better for all. n

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

“ There were so many times that someone was kind to me last year, and now I am in a position where I can give that kindness back to Harbor Day. .... “

SPARKING FUN AND CREATIVITY: THE EIGHTH GRADE ELECTIVE PROGRAM

By Susan Johnson'88

Students can explore diverse class offerings that meet three days a week for sessions that last five to six weeks during the academic year. Some examples of elective classes include: Ceramics with Ms. Courtney Zarrilli, Video Production with Mr. Derick Pikula, Yearbook with Mr. Jon Grogan, Handbells with Ms. Robyn Manion, Acting with Mr. Joel Maki, Glass Fusing or Painting with Ms. Dayna Sable, Health Education with Nurse Melissa Perez, Programming with Mr. James Gapp, or Mountain Biking with Mr. Chatom Arkin.

Students rank their options before being placed in a particular elective class. Careful consideration is given to each grouping, and most students enjoy their placement, even if it is not their first choice. While sometimes students may be disappointed they don’t get their first choice, this can also be an opportunity for students to deal with disappointment in a low-stakes situation and learn to make the most of their elective session.

Each elective class has its own objectives and skills taught. Sometimes, an elective teacher offers a class to further their own subject matter. For example, Ms. Zarrilli says, “I enjoy teaching the Ceramics Elective because it allows the students to dive deeper into throwing or hand building and explore what is possible with clay. Having classes three times a week, the students can try new techniques, build bigger projects, and gain confidence in their ceramic abilities.”

Other times, teachers offer something they are passionate about to expose students to something entirely outside the traditional curriculum. One of the most popular electives offered at the end of the school year is Mr. Arkin’s Mountain Biking Elective. An avid biker, Mr. Arkin feels that mountain biking is an excellent way for students to learn fundamental bike safety skills while exploring the area’s surrounding beauty (no E-Bikes are allowed, and helmets are an absolute must to participate!) As a culminating activity, the Mountain Bike Elective rides through Crystal Cove and ends up at the Shake Shack for a celebratory treat. “Elective classes allow some of our students to showcase talents or skill sets that might not have been on

display in other areas. It’s great to see a kid do something well when maybe he or she hasn’t had the same success in his or her academic classes. This helps boost their sense of self and allows their peers to value them in ways they probably weren’t before. Also...they’re super fun!” says Mr. Arkin.

Some elective classes produce work that benefits the entire Harbor Day School community. The Yearbook Elective with Mr. Grogan is a perfect example of this. He says, “The Yearbook Elective is offered for two sessions. During those sessions, students create the cover, generate superlatives, and photograph school life. The ultimate goal of this elective is to allow our graduating class time to personalize their yearbook, which becomes HDS history.”

The Video Production Elective with Mr. Pikula shares their videos at the Middle School Morning Meetings to help build community. Students create the ideas, film the content, and edit the final product, and the entire middle school division looks forward to these creative productions. Also, the Handbell Elective—which requires no prior musical experience—with Ms. Manion is something that the whole community enjoys during the Lower School and Middle School Holiday Shows.

The third elective session after Winter Break is known as “Musical Season.” Eighth grade students audition for the musical, and after roles are cast, students are placed in elective classes that support the Eighth Grade Musical. For example, the lead roles in this year’s musical, We Will Rock You, are in the Core Musical Elective, and they meet with Mr. Maki and Ms. Manion to work on the music and specific scenes during Elective Class. Students who aren’t on stage help “behind the scenes” by working on the stage crew or being involved with the Prop Making Elective.

One of the best things about the Elective program is that it allows students to discover new interests they may not have known and bond with classmates outside of their regular core classes. In addition, the Elective program offers students a chance to step outside of their comfort zones and try new things, all in a supportive and encouraging environment. n

If you ask most eighth graders what their favorite class is, many will say, “Elective.” A hallmark of the eighth grade experience, the Elective program allows students to foster an existing interest or spark a new passion. So, what exactly is it?

The fully complete campus will open September 2023. Together we have built a campus with gifts of $49.3M to the campaign.

The campaign concludes June 2023. Your gift today secures Harbor Day’s future.

Kerri and Danny

Having the right people in the right place at the right time sets the stage for success. Kerri and Danny'87 Sonenshine alongside co-chairs Alex and Alan Airth, have been the right people to bring success to Harbor Day ’s Always Home campaign since 2016-2017 and have cemented their place in history with the completion of the building project in 2023. Those who know Kerri and Danny recognize they are deeply reflective and thoughtful, intentional with their expression of need with great personal conviction, tenacious, and generous. At the campaign’s outset, no one was more committed to the building project than the then-president of the Board of Trustees Danny Sonenshine'87. He recalls, “in terms of the campus itself, I saw firsthand as a board member: phone calls over the summer with pipes bursting and parts of the building falling apart—the old campus was not sustainable.”

After several years of effectively co-chairing the Always Home campaign, Kerri joined the

Sonenshine

Sonenshine Kerri and Danny

HDS Board of Trustees. In her second year on the Board, she chairs the Board's Development Committee and serves as an at-large member on the Executive Committee. As a couple, Kerri and Danny embody the values of service toward an organization on behalf of Harbor Day and share their experiences with fellow parents. Kerri adds that they consider themselves fortunate “because we’ve come full circle: we’ve seen the impact that everybody talks about and how well-prepared our girls were for those next challenges. With our son, we’ve also seen the school evolve, and we get to do it all again and see that it’s only gotten better with technology and ways of learning— I love that it is not the same curriculum that Maggie had 13 years ago and at many schools, it would be.”

It wasn’t always a straightforward path. For Kerri, she recalls that initially, as a product of Cincinnati public schools, she was skeptical. “There are good local schools. From the moment our oldest daughter started, I was increasingly sold on Harbor Day: the class sizes,

the teachers, and how much they cared. We appreciated the extra attention the students received and the communication with teachers. I felt really lucky that our girls were being challenged and getting what they needed and more.” Some of Danny’s first memories of Harbor Day included hearing his brother, Coby'84 talking about his first years at Harbor Day, and about the infamous blue chairs, which Danny visited early and often. When they returned to test their eldest child, Danny remembers thinking, “Oh my gosh, it hasn’t changed a bit. It was an old building when I was here, and it hadn’t changed.”

One aspect of the early work was recognizing the need for the building project. Another was messaging and motivating a whole community. Those who have served on the Harbor Day board proudly recount the “working board” aspect of assembled volunteers—deeply committed and willing to share their expertise to better the school. It has been this way since the founding days, and trustees have held the longevity of the school and mission fulfillment

as their top priorities. The first significant event of the campaign in 2018 invited past trustees to hear the earliest plans and developed a strong foundation for its success.

Since then, the cabinet has been fundraising steadily to reach its goal of $55 million. The current total is more than $49 million. “What has been the most amazing thing of the whole process is to see the outpouring of support. We have raised so much and the goal is in sight.”

Harbor Day has a new future because of Kerri and Danny'87 Sonenshine’s leadership, vision, and personal dedication. As Head of School, Angi Evans, has said repeatedly, “without them, it’s hard to imagine us being where we are today and teaching in this new building. Their hearts are in this project.” Looking back on the 1972 campus, it was filled with memories beloved by families and graduated nearly 2,200 alumni. The core of our school has always been to educate our students, and Danny captures it best in closing: “The campus is amazing, but I go back to the mission of the school, and the work that the teachers do whether you are in an old building or a new building. They are Harbor Day—now we just have the building that is equal to what is happening inside of the classroom.” n

Kerri an

Always Home: The Campaign for Harbor Day is underway through June 30, 2023. Our goal is $55 million, and we are counting on Harbor Day’s entire community to come together with gifts to support Harbor Day’s future. On behalf of Kerri and Danny and the entire campaign cabinet, thank you to everyone who recognizes the value of Harbor Day to their children and grandchildren.

Danny'87 and his siblings Coby'84 and Mandy'92 are Harbor Day alumni, and Kerri and Danny are parents to Maggie'16, Sarah'20, and Tobey'29.

We’ve seen the impact that everybody talks about and how well-prepared our girls were for those next challenges.

ALUMNI EVENTS

This January we kicked off a host of alumni activities, all aimed at bringing our community together as we prepare to unveil our completed campus this fall. We were thrilled to visit with current alumni parents, past parents, past faculty, and local alumni in the library for our annual fireside reception on January 19. Guests were invited to walk the hallways and enjoy the incredible artwork on display before hearing more about Harbor Day School today and for the future.

Just 10 days later, we closed out the month with a terrific New York City Alumni Reunion, hosted by Graysen Airth'14 and Maggie Sonenshine'16. Past parents and alumni spanning four decades joined us for brunch and a special presentation on our campus project. n

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! BLUE-GOLD TRACK MEET | FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 2023

Pat Burns'

By Olivia Baumgartner

Reconnecting with Pat Burns'68, we dug a little deeper into some of the eighth grade ambitions and memorable classmates.

Pat assures us that the sports they followed were soccer and volleyball and that “rugby” must have been a good joke among friends in eighth grade. He recalls a core group of Joseph Banning, Gilbert Barnes, and Laura Jones. The group attended Harbor Day in its earlier incarnations as St. James Parish School on Lido Island and Harbor Episcopal School under Father Edward Allen and Eric Pepper before graduating in 1968 from Harbor Day School under John F. Marder. Pat recalls 1967-68 as the first year of the Blue-Gold Track Meet. (Pat captained Team Gold to victory in the inaugural event.)

The decades that followed included work, careers, and stories that weave through old Newport with the feeling of a sun-bleached patina. Pat (an avid cyclist since high school) dabbled with an early career in precision machining in an aerospace machine building on Von Karman, run by a family well known to Harbor Day: the Berteas. Jack Whitmer, a friend of such longstanding that he is more of a brother than a friend to Pat, joined him in this work before the two started an export business, bringing wine down to Central America, allowing them to drive and surf their way down the coast. Passing through in 1979, they viewed El Salvador first hand at the outset of its civil war, and Nicaragua just 10 days after the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) overthrew Anastasio Somoza. The two landed in San Jose, Costa Rica for a time before returning home. Later business ventures for Pat included strawberry and vegetable growing on 350 hectares in Guadalupe, Mexico before returning stateside. He pursued coursework at Sonoma College and continued in agriculture, this time with vineyard work in Sonoma County. His next venture took him up to Oregon, where he spent the next 25 years of his career with a family vineyard before retiring.

Reflecting on these years, Pat shared that he had a lot of fun, took a long time to grow up, and thinks fondly of Southern California now and then. “It was such an amazing place, and I wrestle a little bit with the privilege we all had, but that doesn’t diminish the amazing accomplishments of so many people in this geographic area. There was the freedom to try something out and an unencumbered attitude that if it should be done, then it could be done, and we were the ones to do it.”

Pat’s father, Ben, was a physician who served in the Navy, and Pat was born at Camp Pendleton. Dr. Burns set up a private practice in Corona del Mar and served on the board at a critical juncture in our past. Pat remembers the move from St. James Parish Day School on Lido Island to the schoolhouse on 5th and Marguerite and recalls worrying that there might not be a school to attend. From 1963-64, “vestry members of St. James Church had voted in October to close the school at the end of January. According to the Rev. John Parke, rector of the church, the school was putting too much financial strain on the parish.” 1 Pat recalls his father returning home one night and remarking “Well, that’s done.” For Pat, that meant continuing at the school he’d known for years. On January 9, 1964, board members of the St. James Episcopal Day School announced that the school would not close at the end of the semester but reform as a private corporation. It would operate under the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles as Harbor Episcopal School and “open” on February 1, 1964. The Reverend Edward Allen intended to remain as vicar at the school. On Thursday, January 16, the Laguna Beach Post noted newly elected officers of the Parent’s Council for the school as Mmes. Hancock Banning III, president; Robert Gurley, vice president; Benjamin Burns, corresponding secretary; D.S. Gurney, recording secretary; and C.L. Monson, treasurer. In speaking with Pat, it is thrilling to corroborate his memories with the news archives detailing his family’s involvement when Harbor Day School’s fate was as yet unwritten.

After graduating from Harbor Day, Pat went to Corona del Mar High School and then California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, where his mother, Charlotte Burns Wood, was a professor. His sister, Heather Burns, also attended Harbor Day School. Pat is the proud father of Claire, an avid horsewoman and Army reservist now working with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. n

Harbor Day Fall Benefit 2022

It seemed fitting that our new campus would host our Fall Benefit as we turned 70, went public with our capital campaign, and reflected on nearly a year of education since moving into Phase I. The reality was breathtaking, in harmony with many of our reactions to the results of this transformational phase for Harbor Day. The evening focused on our community and brought together current parents, alumni, faculty, and even grandparents for this special night.

We have so many people to thank who made the Benefit an incredible success. Our Board President, Chris Shepherdson '96, and Campaign Co-Chairs Alex and Alan Airth and Kerri and Danny '87 Sonenshine led our remarks, and Head of School Angi Evans '75 previewed the newest campaign video along with Phase II renderings and plans. The Cari and Chad Peets Family offered a challenge grant of $150,000 to galvanize campaign participation, and we easily cruised past 50% with this accelerator. In addition, a new family to Harbor Day School, Grace Yum Zimmermann and Kent Zimmermann, announced a multiyear pledge on behalf of the campaign. Attendees gifted and pledged generously to support our campaign and building project. In total, we recognized nearly $650,000 in gifts to the Fall Benefit on behalf of the campaign.

Sponsors and underwriters helped to make the evening sparkle. We are extremely grateful to the Lu Family, the Steelberg Family, the Cudzil Family, the Sadri Family, the Davis Family , the Dinan Family , the Slavik Family, the Massoudi Family , the McCormick Family, the Werner Family, the Taketa Family, and the Ledger Family.
