Immersed in Nature Summer tradition provides hands-on learning experiences for Hopkins students
The days are long and warm, the water is cool and refreshing, and a campfire is the perfect ending to a day. Summer camp just makes sense in Minnesota. Hopkins Community Education has provided campers with a unique educational opportunity for 30 years called the Summer Field Biology program. Students in grades five through 12 hunker down in nature for five days at the Wolf Ridge Lodge located on the North Shore in the small town of Finland, Minn. They hike, explore, learn, listen, and even write some poetry. The purpose of the trip is to immerse students in hands-on learning related to the environment. The experience is part educational, part community building, and part fun.
During Summer Field Biology, students in grades five through 12 spend five days enjoying nature and hands-on activities, while learning valuable team building-skills at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center on the North Shore in Finland, Minn.

The cost to attend the camp is $525 per camper, with a “We want to embrace youth culture with technology,” said limited number of scholarships available. Campers are Stillman. “For some students the ability to listen to music immersed in nature the entire time. Days start at 7:30 a.m. on hikes is important.”
Students are not allowed to use their phones in class, but they are useful on nature hikes. Larry Wade, a retired Hopkins Public Schools naturalist, has been part of Summer Field Biology for the past few years. He is known for leading epic hikes, and turning all of his students into unexpected poets. He encourages his students to use their phones to take photos during hikes, and then plops them in an especially scenic spot for a period of time and asks them to write poetry. And they do. He uploads the poetry and the photos to his blog, which he shares with the students. Students in Summer Field Biology explore the natural vegetation and wildlife during one of many scenic hikes at the annual excursion to Wolf Ridge.

Terhaar Settles into Her New Role as Director of Teaching and Learning If Karen Terhaar were to pick a theme for her summer, it would be transition. She is joining Hopkins Public Schools as the director of teaching and learning after a 10year career serving as the executive director for the Karen Terhaar began her role International Spanish as director of teaching and learning in July. Language Academy (ISLA), a Minnetonka charter school she founded in 2006. All the while, she is finishing up her doctorate degree. It’s been busy, and a little hectic, but Terhaar is right where she wants to be. “Karen is a kind and intelligent educator who holds children and learning at her core,” said Superintendent John Schultz, Ph.D. “She brings many valuable leadership skills and insights that will guide Hopkins Public Schools in its mission to provide excellence for every school, every student, every day.” Terhaar replaced Diane Schimelpfenig, who retired last spring after a 44-year career with Hopkins. She Summer Field Biology from cover A Wolf Ridge Family Being part of Summer Field Biology creates bonds between students. On Thursday night, all campers participate in the famous campfire, which doubles as a talent show for students to showcase their singing, acting, or comedy skills. It’s during this time that Stillman gives out the Lifetime Participation Award to recognize students who have had long-term involvement in the program. There are many students who meet this requirement. Students often begin attending Summer Field Biology in fifth-grade and come back every summer through their senior year. After high school, some students even return as chaperones. Ben Johnson intends to be one of those students. The soon-to-be sophomore at Hopkins High School has attended the camp for six years. Every year he learns something new about nature and himself. This year, he was required to grow his leadership skills to help manage the record-setting number of fifth- and sixth-graders who attended. Ben was encouraged by Stillman to take on a mentorship role, and he discovered that he enjoyed this challenge.
Hopkins Community Education
is excited for a job that keeps at the center of what is best for students, and allows her to do many different things. In the first few weeks on the job, Terhaar is first and foremost focused on learning programs, and getting to know the staff. Her goal is to get a feel for what is going on and coming up, and how she can contribute. She is already keeping an eye out for statewide education issues, like student assessment, and how that might change in the years to come.
The school achieved National Blue Ribbon status, became an authorized International Baccalaureate World School, and currently has a healthy kindergarten wait list. She is excited for a new challenge and the opportunity to join a district she has always held in high esteem. “I have long regarded Hopkins Public Schools as the most innovative and student-centered district in Minnesota,” said Terhaar. “I look forward to collaborating with teachers, administrators, and families to continue the great programming in Hopkins.”
“This job gives me the opportunity to get back into teaching and learning, and I have always been drawn to this type of work,” said Terhaar. “Even as a classroom teacher, I was interested in curriculum and instruction outside my classroom. This job is an opportunity to do that work on a grander scale.”
Terhaar has a bachelor of science and a master’s degree in education from the University of Minnesota, and a principal’s licensure from Hamline University. She is on track to finish a doctorate in educational leadership from Bethel University by 2017. In her spare time she enjoys running, biking, traveling, and reading. She has two children, a daughter who will be attending college in Winona, Minn., and a son who will soon start his freshmen year at DeLaSalle High School.
Terhaar has an extensive background in leadership and language immersion education. Prior to her tenure with ISLA, she spent 16 years working as both a teacher and an administrator for the Robbinsdale Spanish Immersion School. Terhaar describes herself as an energetic and collaborative leader who capitalizes on the strengths of many great minds. ISLA thrived under her guidance.
“I liked seeing the younger kids come in,” said Ben. “Scott helped me feel like a leader — I felt responsible for setting a positive example.” Meadowbrook student Ada Turman attended the camp for the first time this year and appreciated the positive attitude all the students had. A bird enthusiast, Ada was attracted to the songbird theme and the level of activities that Summer Field Biology promoted. Going into camp, she only knew one student, but after five days in nature, she left feeling connected to something bigger than herself. “Everyone just kind of clicked,” she said. “Everyone made sense there and had fun; Wolf Ridge is a really awesome place.” Mark your calendar Next year’s Summer Field Biology trip is scheduled for July 25-29.

An Open Letter to the Class of 2028 Dear Kindergartners, You are going to be the class of 2028! Can you believe that? That’s when you will graduate! It is amazing that all of you entering Hopkins Public Schools this year will graduate when over a quarter of the 21st century will have passed! Kindergartners, your next 13 years look exciting! Your first year and beyond This year, your kindergarten teacher, and all who will support your learning, will immediately begin to give you exciting opportunities that will teach you many different things. The teachers and all the adults who will support you from kindergarten through high school will be the very best. They will care about you as a person and a student, and prepare you to learn in the world. One of the ways your kindergarten and elementary teachers do this is by giving you the great gift of reading. Reading will give you the freedom to make wise choices in your future. The bright and comfortable schools will give you space that engages you to work with your peers in groups, as an individual, and with others outside your classroom. In these wonderful spaces, you will always be provided with healthy environments to learn, and places to play and “hang.” The schools will even provide you food choices that promote your health! Digital books Kindergartners, we know that the world of communication is changing rapidly, and Hopkins Schools will be sure its strong curriculum (the stuff you learn) will be supported by the technology you will encounter in your future. You will begin using devices like iPads and Chromebooks to learn — you are probably already fluent with both. You will use things like Moodle and other applications to demonstrate and share your work. We know that when your teachers give you opportunities to work together in problem solving or completing projects, you learn more and you discover how rewarding it is to work with others. The cultures you will learn about The most exciting thing about entering kindergarten is that you will be introduced to many new people. In your next 13 years, you will meet many individuals and groups from different cultures and backgrounds. People who live in the Hopkins community are from all over the world.When you graduate in 2028, you will have had the opportunity to meet people from at least 50 different cultures and countries. In addition, you will have learned at least the Spanish language and culture by the time you graduate. You will find it fun and rewarding to learn alongside all the wonderful people in your schools.
Learning Does Not Stop in the Summer for Hopkins Teachers During the summer months, teachers are engaged in a variety of professional development opportunities. When the classrooms are empty, Hopkins teachers are busy completing online courses and advanced degrees, participating in immersion experiences, traveling with students, reading as part of book studies, writing curriculum, and participating and presenting at conferences. All this learning ensures that, come fall, our Hopkins students will have the best year ever.

District Life Changer
Scott Stillman
A man of many interests, talents, and an unyielding dedication to his students, Scott Stillman more than fits the bill of Hopkins Life Changer. In addition to being a phenomenal classroom teacher, every summer he serves as the lead teacher and coordinator for the Summer Field Biology program and trip to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center. Stillman has led the program for 15 years, starting with eight students, and growing to as many as 115 students. No matter the size of the group, he ensures that everyone has an unforgettable experience. “Scott Stillman is the heart and soul of Hopkins Summer Field Biology,” said Adam Barnett, co-lead teacher from Three Rivers Parks District. “Through Scott’s commitment, he has developed a program that provides Hopkins students with life-changing opportunities to learn and experience topics related to science, recreation, and personal growth.” Making sure students have a valuable and memorable experience also has its benefits, especially when catching up with past participants. “I always love sharing stories of past years, and talking about present experiences or future plans,” Stillman said. “These chance encounters give me personal and professional energy to keep working hard to provide fun learning opportunities for our students.” Summer Field Biology background: The program was developed with the leadership of Jim Gilbert, consulting naturalist for WCCO Radio, and Sandy Ahlstrom, retired Glen Lake Elementary teacher. During Stillman’s time as a paraprofessional at Glen Lake, he befriended Ahlstrom over their shared connection with nature, and a love for working with students. After observing the program, Stillman took over the lead responsibilities along with Ann Hetland, a fellow Glen Lake para. Now, the program is part of the Hopkins Community Education youth enrichment programs. What do you love most about the Summer Field Biology Program? I love the sense of family this program develops between students, staff, parents, and Wolf Ridge staff. The program allows students to escape their daily lives in the cities, and gives them the opportunity to explore an amazingly beautiful piece of earth at Wolf Ridge. Being able to return each summer is like going back to a family cabin. Proudest moments with the program? This past July, we decided to eliminate a very popular game due to a lack of participation. Instead, we designed a Wolf Ridge Amazing Race in which kids were sent off in 12 directions to solve puzzles, demonstrate skills, or just be silly. We put an extensive amount of planning time and energy into this race and it was a huge success. Younger students showed leadership skills as they solved problems older students were not able to complete. Older students showed their level of maturity in supporting and encouraging their teams. Teaching philosophy? I believe good teaching happens when you consistently show kids, through words and actions, that you care about them as unique individuals, each with special interests and talents to share with one another. Stats: • BSB in Marketing (with a minor in clarinet performance), University of Minnesota; MAT in Elementary Education, University of St. Thomas. Over the past 17 years with Hopkins Schools, Stillman has served in leadership positions on the Equity Team, and curriculum committees.

Kim (Roszell) Perkl: 2002 graduate
Stats: Writing Teacher at Torah Academy in St. Louis Park • B.A. in English/Creative Writing, College of St. Catherine; M.A. in Education, University of St. Thomas. fun facts Kim has fond memories of her time at Hopkins, where she met her husband Joe (pictured at right) when they were both playing basketball. The couple reconnected after college, got married in 2010, and had a son, Dezmond, last January. She also enjoys spending time with their other “child,” a Weimaraner dog named Olive. Favorite hangout spot at Hopkins High School? The mall was our main hangout, but the choir lover in me says outside the choir room/old theater. Favorite Band of 2002? Coldplay or Daft Punk. What Hopkins teacher made a difference? Mr. Dart. I will never forget our philosophical class discussions and how our class was like a family. How did Hopkins prepare you? The broad class choices gave me many opportunities to explore what my interests truly were. The diversity of the school helped me love and dive into different cultures. I believe Hopkins helped lead me to the profession I know I was meant to be in.
Community Spirit Barry Bonoff
Being “unusually old” to have kids in elementary school, more than 15 years ago, Barry Bonoff decided to volunteer at Gatewood Elementary. Today, the 84 year-old’s youngest kids are in their early twenties, but he still remains active volunteering every Wednesday in Gatewood’s Learning Lab. Nearly every other day, he can be found helping fourth-graders in Amanda Van Wye’s classroom. Bonoff helps students with just about any subject or project. Over the years, he has helped countless students and has made a significant impact on the school, according to Principal Donna Montgomery. “There is not one day that goes by that Barry is not smiling, cheerful, and adding joyfulness to Gatewood,” Montgomery said. Proudest moment volunteering? Letting the kids feel okay about calling me Barry and not Mr. Bonoff. What person has influenced you most? My mom. She overcame her issues and was a great contributor to society. She was the first braille teacher in Minnesota. After World War II, there were a lot of blind soldiers, so our synagogue started a group called the Braille Association. My mother ran it and was the teacher. She went to different areas of the state teaching people braille so they could read and learn. People would be surprised to learn ... I am a former high-fashion retailer. Lie by the pool or jump in a lake? Jump! I volunteer because I love being a help to kids.

They all taught different subjects, but had three things in common; they were caring, humorous and creative. They took the time to get to know each student in their class and I knew that I mattered How did Hopkins prepare you? Excellent teachers and staff at Hopkins High School helped prepare me to become the teacher I am today. I only hope that I can, one day, be that influential as a teacher to my students here at Hopkins! Update September 2015

Hennepin Library and Hopkins Team Up as Part of White House Sponsored Youth Initiative Hopkins Public Schools is excited to be among the first schools in Minnesota to participate in the White House ConnectED initiative through a partnership with Hennepin County Library. The goal of the program is to make sure every student has access to the public library, a powerful educational resource. The District’s participation will enrich the classroom experience by connecting all students to Hennepin County Library’s extensive collection of print and electronic resources. In 2013, President Obama issued the ConnectED challenge to transform teaching and learning through digital connectivity and content. In 2015, he extended the challenge to both publishers and public libraries. Hennepin County Library was charged with creating, building, or strengthening partnerships that support learning in young people. Hopkins was chosen as a partnering school district because of its robust 1:1 digital environment at the junior-high and highschool level, as well as access to technology at the elementary level. Hopkins Schools is committed to every student having an active library card and knowing how to use it by the end of the
2015-16 school year. This will enhance the classroom experience by providing students with access to Hennepin County Library’s databases, books, and multimedia education materials. Hopkins students will also have greater awareness of additional library assets including after-school programming, employment, and spaces. The partnership will begin this fall at both North and West Junior Highs. In September, library cards will be distributed to all students at school by the Hennepin County Library staff. More information will be shared about this exciting opportunity in the weeks to come on our website, Facebook, and Twitter. More information about Hennepin County Library can found online at: www.hclib.org.
