A MESSAGE FROM THE HE AD OF SCHOOL

Dream Big

“Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality. ” MAL AL A YOUSAFZ AI

lthough I believe that Malala had other intentions for her words, I’d love to relate them to Inly. As a Montessori school, our inspiration and approach to education comes from another female pioneer, Maria Montessori. Based on her example, we strive to ‘make our future now’ by being the best school we can be, for this and every generation of children at Inly. With Maria’s vision always in mind, we continue to create Inly’s future with the help of extraordinary teachers, an innovative Montessori curriculum, and beautiful, brand new buildings. Our 290 students grow and thrive each day as they engage in our rigorous programming on our 10-acre campus. It’s now time to keep dreaming. Inly is 45 years old, and we have the opportunity to dream big for our 50th anniversary celebration. We are in the midst of a Strategic Planning process, which will enable us to create new realities to meet the needs of an ever-changing, ever-growing group of learners in front of us. We are so happy that you have joined us on this journey. Let’s make our dreams tomorrow’s reality — together! All the best,

Donna Milani Luther Head of School

HARVEST FESTIVAL

Events

INLY SCHOOL

Inly’s Harvest Festival was a lovely sunny, fun-filled afternoon complete with pumpkin decorating, corn-husk doll making, scarecrow dressing, and face painting. Families enjoyed the bounty of our land by tasting freshly pressed cider made from Inly apples and shopping at a farm stand full of Inly grown produce. In addition, everyone had the opportunity to experience Inly’s new Spartan circuit—a custom obstacle course, donated by Spartan Race, Inc.

WORLD PEACE GAME

STUDENT ASSEMBLIES

This fall, UE students explored the roles of politicians, leaders, diplomats, and military commanders during The World Peace Game. This hands-on geopolitical simulation is played over eight weeks and each week, students work to solve such real-world problems as oil crises, war, famine, territorial disputes, and environmental issues. They learn how to create meaning out of chaos while exploring connectedness within the global community.

Sherri Duskey Rinker and John Rocco, author and illustrator of Big Machines: The Story of Virginia Lee Burton, brought Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic tales to life for LE students this fall. Tanzanian Maasai Warrior, Isaya Oleporuo, shared the world of his tribesmen with UE and Middle School students. And, master illusionist, dramatist and world-traveler, Leland Faulkner, entertained students with his artful stories about dreaming for a better world during his program, Visions of Peace.

GRANDFRIENDS’ DAY Inly welcomed a record number of family and friends of students during Grandfriends’ Day, one of our most popular events of the year. Guests of students in Toddler House through Middle School toured the School, contributed to a book sale in the library, took photos in our photobooth, and bought student grown produce at our plant sale. Following musical performances in the Artsbarn, Grandfriends visited their students’ classroom, where they were introduced to their work and materials.

WINTER FUN

Good times were had by all at Inly’s annual holiday cookie decorating party. This year’s theme was “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” A few weeks later, the Winter Concert entertained a packed Artsbarn with special performances by the Inly Dance Company and the Inly Chorus, as well as musical selections by Kindergarten, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Middle School students. The entire School came together for Beauty of the Light, an Inly tradition for more than 25 years. A few Inly alumni who were in the audience, joined the singers on stage.

da Vinci Studio L

ess than 18 months ago, the Inly community came together to celebrate the opening of its new innovation lab, the da Vinci Studio. In that time, movies and videos have been made using green screen technology, Lego robots have been programmed to perform functional tasks (and compete in these tasks at an international level), fabulous clothes have been sewn, hundreds of decals have been created with the laser cutter, game pieces have been built with the 3D printer, and cars have been designed in CAD. Every Inly student from Kindergarten through Grade 8 has had time to use the new space: to inquire, to imagine, to invent, and to implement new ideas. “We created the da Vinci Studio so our children could have a place where critical and creative thinking come to life,” says Inly’s Head of School, Donna Milani Luther. “I am absolutely thrilled to see how fluidly the space is being used; how integrated into all aspects of our curriculum it has become. We did a lot of work ahead of the opening to prep our teachers and staff on how to use the space and now, it’s like it’s always been here.” Middle School teacher, and avid da Vinci Studio instructor, Tschol Slade agrees, “I’m pleasantly surprised by how

much activity there is in here all the time. Given all of the cutting-edge tools we are working with, it’s wonderful to see how really comfortable our students are. The percentage of kids not out of their element is remarkable.” In addition to more formal class time in the da Vinci Studio, the space is also used by after school programs and during summer camps, and students of all ages are welcome (encouraged, in fact) to spend their free time thinking and tinkering in the round room at Inly’s core. “The freedom we have in here is awesome. We can design and execute… we have excellent tools and resources and the time to make mistakes,” 8th grader John D’Allessandro says. “I want to become an engineer and so many of the skills I’m learning by working in the Studio are going to transfer into my life after Inly. Right now, I’m working on

designing things to help organize the School. That’s what I’m doing with my free time.” It doesn’t take long to feel the ‘magic’ of the space. It’s comes from the combination of students truly enjoying really challenging work with the knowledge that the skills that they are learning are critical to success in the world. Skills like working iteratively and always looking to improve on what’s been done before; working collaboratively with peers and coaches to give and receive feedback; and being encouraged to take risks and learn from both the successes and the failures. “We know that resilience is really important. And part of becoming resilient is getting experience with both success and failure,” explains Kelley Huxtable, Inly’s Technology Integrationist. “We make a point to

celebrate failure as much as success, and kids feel that. It’s safe while doing this kind of work, and students learn that failure doesn’t come with judgement. In a way, when things don’t work, that’s when the studio is working best. That’s the opportunity.” “With the da Vinci Studio we’re giving our kids the space and the time to draw their own conclusions,” Kelley adds. “We’re helping them to fill their toolboxes for the future in every way we can.” And, besides, it’s a whole lot of fun. “I really like the 3D printer,” says 5th grader Jaeger Fürst. “I’m trying to build a ship. The ‘Hour of Code’ time and the Lego Robots are also pretty cool.”

With recent studies suggesting that today’s children will hold 12 jobs in their lifetimes in five different careers, progressive schools like Inly are taking the idea of ‘future-proofing’ their students seriously. “Our children will hold jobs that don’t even exist yet, and it’s our responsibility to prepare them. We are teaching them how to think, how to have the flexibility and fluency of mind they will need. We are working to make them real-world ready,” explains Donna. “We worked towards the creation of this space for a long time,” she adds. “We planted and nurtured the seeds and it is so wonderful to see how they’ve blossomed.”

NEW FACES

Meet a few of the teachers new to Inly this year.

Cyndi Berger SPANISH

Sarah Dolan

Annemarie DeSmet TODDLER HOUSE

TODDLER HOUSE

Cyndi holds a B.A. in Foreign Languages and has taken several courses in early childhood education as well. She looks forward to continuing her education by beginning her master’s degree. Before moving to Massachusetts, Cyndi worked for five years as an English teacher in different private schools in Colombia. She then worked as a Spanish teacher at Cambridge-Ellis School and with the Sharon public schools. Cyndi loves teaching Spanish to children and young adults, and when she is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her husband, John, and their 2-year-old son, Matthew.

Sarah holds a B.S. in Management from Bentley University and received her Infant and Toddler Montessori training from Montessori Institute-New England. While working as a nanny, Sarah also completed Montessori training classes in ages 6-9 from North American Montessori Center. Sarah attended Inly in her toddler years when it was called The Montessori Community School and still has vivid and fond memories of her time spent here. Sarah has experience as a dance teacher to young students and is pursuing her Zumba teacher certification. She started her Montessori teaching career at Newton Montessori School in 2011 and since recently moving back to Scituate, has returned to her roots to teach here at Inly.

Carly Oddleifson TODDLER HOUSE

Annemarie holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from St. Mary’s College, Notre Dame IN and a master’s degree in Human Resources from the University of Loyola Chicago. She worked for many years in human resources before becoming the mom of her three children. Annemarie has always had a passion for photography and became a studio owner for over eight years, specializing in children’s portraiture. She then began as a substitute teacher at Inly in 2016 and realized her love for teaching, especially in a Montessori classroom, which emphasizes a calm, supportive environment and respect for the child. In her free time, Annemarie can be found walking her dog Henry on the beach, spending time with her family, experimenting with new Instant Pot recipes and reading books the old school way (with an actual book).

The seeds Carly sowed with her young students at Holly Hill Organic Farm for four summers germinated into not just vegetables but her own enduring interest in creating supportive learning environments for all children. This interest was reinforced when she taught Spanish in the Oberlin, Ohio School district (through an Oberlin College program), her thesis research on academic motivation, and her immersion in the Montessori method of education at Inly. Carly earned a BA in Psychology from Oberlin College in 2016. She enjoys yoga and being outside in her free time.

Math rs e t t a M

elf-proclaimed enthusiastic problem solver, lover of all things numbers, and Inly’s recently appointed Math Integrationist, Elizabeth Joyce, thinks math is “super fun.” “Math is everywhere. Math is for everyone,” she declares. “It breaks my heart when people say they’re ‘bad at math.’ That’s the result of being told they’re not good enough, that they got to a solution ‘the wrong way.’ That shouldn’t happen. Math is about playing games, playing with numbers. It’s about solving puzzles. If it’s all about the rules, something is lost.” With the addition of new activities like Morning Math and Math Olympiads (see sidebar) as well as the appearance of the highly-colorful and engaging Sidewalk Math installments on the playground and in the hallways, Elizabeth is working hard to standardize an already strong mathematics curriculum and to supplement it with additional, and fun, opportunities for Inly students to connect with their math material and to practice their math facts. “Having a strong number sense is what makes you a great math student and we know that fluency is better with practice,” explains Elizabeth. “I want our students to move around with math. Math isn’t static. Ultimately, we are working to teach our children how to think mathematically, to help them understand that you run into math in real life, to provide them with a math toolkit. Thinking mathematically is really a life skill. It’s not something you should just do at a set time on a set day.” Inly students run into math all the time: in the hallways, on the walls, in their classrooms. In fact, Elizabeth and other Inly teachers ensure that math connections are made throughout the set curriculum. Studying Asia and the Silk Route? Then how about exploring fractals and symmetry in Islamic Art? Participating in the World Peace Games? Then why not track and manage multibillion dollar budgets? Interested in studying the weather? How about using weather data to create a line graph- and then talk about average temperatures in the math problem of the week? “The integration and interconnectedness of math in everything our students learn and the constant math touch points to which our students are exposed is

MATH OLYMPIADS Offered monthly and open to Upper Elementary students, the after school program Math Olympiads focuses on difficult problem solving. Students are presented with challenging questions and work as a team to find the solutions. Answers are submitted to the Math Olympiads organization (founded in 1977) and ranked nationally. “It’s a chance for the very strongest math students to match up against their peers,” explains Elizabeth.

“The integration and interconnectedness of math in everything our students learn, and the constant math touch points to which our students are exposed is certainly not the norm. I think it really sets Inly apart.” Elizabeth Joyce Math Integrationist certainly not the norm. I think it really sets Inly apart,” says Elizabeth, who spent the previous 13 years teaching at both public and private schools in New York City and is a relative newcomer to the world of Montessori. “I have realized that Montessori math is about hands-on learning all the time. Every child is getting individual attention and a tailored education. I’m amazed by how early Inly students are exposed to more complicated concepts. This exposure and access can be a light bulb moment With colorful and engaging counting mats in the hallways and Sidewalk Math (www.sidewalkmath.com) for some that helps them painted at the main entrance and on the playground, students are exposed to math wherever they turn. break into higher order thinking earlier.” And the benchmark testing, which is done three times a year, shows Inly students hitting all of the state’s standards and in line with national standards as well. “Inly kids are exactly where we expect them to be.” In addition to monitoring students’ facility with math, the benchmark testing also helps to direct curriculum and to identify which concepts each student has held on to and in which areas they may need additional attention. “It’s a rigorous process. Checking. Observation. Benchmark testing. Individual assessment. And when I say ‘individual assessment,’ I mean one child, one question, one assessment.” “Overall,” Elizabeth explains, “our mission is to ask good enough questions so that everyone, at every level of math aptitude, gets something out of it. Our tools are scalable. Our problem solving is iterative. We can scaffold if we need to, but we don’t over do it. We want to let our students do the Montessori’s golden bead materials give CH students a hands-on thinking. I think all of these aspects put Inly ahead.” introduction to the decimal system. Elizabeth concludes, “And, as an Inly parent myself, I understand, it’s not always transparent – there’s no worksheet going home that says ‘here’s what happened in math today,’ but you can trust in the process and know that we have exceptional teachers who are leading the way in terms of employing innovative and successful techniques for teaching math.” WINTER 2018

CH4 TEACHER Storytelling

AMANDA HOLLENBACK

UE2 TEACHER

The Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program, sponsored by the American Montessori Society In the same way we teach our students that there’s always room to grow and that we are each responsible for our own learning, we believe that teachers are learners too. We have created the Shared Learning Communities at Inly as a forum for reflecting on our curriculum, considering ways to be responsive to students and the wider world, and aligning our teaching throughout the School at all levels. We work hard to ensure our practice doesn’t become static and that we can continue to hone our craft. I’m very excited about my acceptance into the Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program – the initial event will be held this March – as it will provide a space outside of Inly in which to observe and learn with others. I can then share those learnings with our teachers and they, in turn, can bring them to bear within their classrooms.

INLY SCHOOL

One of my favorite things to do is “tell a story.” Unlike reading from a book, this style of storytelling comes alive before the listeners’ eyes and intentionally invites children to reflect and use their imaginations. The storyteller sits at the same level as the children, essentially becoming invisible, allowing the story to become the focus, Nancy shares a story with CH4 students about and the listeners to become completely Martin Luther King, Jr. immersed in the words. Individual objects are introduced in a quiet, thoughtful manner, and the story unfolds. When the story is complete, it is followed by a type of “wondering” that is wide open to possibility—there are no wrong answers. This may seem a bit countercultural, but its purpose is for the child to make their own meaning and to foster spiritual development. With roots in Montessori philosophy, this unique form of storytelling is what ultimately led me to Inly and formal Montessori teacher training. I continually discover so much by sitting in this circle as a co-learner—wonder, creativity, and possibility abound.

SHELLEY SOMMER

MS TEACHER & LIBRARIAN A Favorite Book There’s a book called All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. I’m sure kindergarten was a pivotal time, but I believe everything that is truly important can be found in Charlotte’s Web. E.B. White’s masterpiece is my favorite book. Not my favorite children’s book — my favorite book. It is perfect as both a story and a master class in writing. Included in that memorable opening line, “Where’s Papa going with that ax?” is drama, action, and foreshadowing of the novel’s themes. The book includes poetic descriptions of how it feels to be in a barn on a summer day, a heartwarming friendship, and a reflection on the passage of time, most poignantly represented by the turning of the Ferris wheel at the county fair. It’s after the fair that Charlotte dies and her children take her place in the barn. “Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch,” White writes. And in Charlotte’s Web, there are reminders of things worth celebrating on every page. The love of family and friends. The first days of summer. The county fair.

VISUAL ARTS TEACHER Making Art

Like the lessons I teach my students, “About to Burst” was an exercise in trusting the creative process and following my own instincts. This work actually started as an outline of the thin pine trees that grow at our Cape home, but then I flipped it over and saw something else — the bottom half of a seabird. I kept the new orientation and added the pinks and blues, which to my eye, are the bird’s big swollen belly. Feeling it was not quite done, and wanting to use pink elsewhere (I often tell the kids that you want the viewer’s eye to carry around the entire work and repeating a color in another area can help with this), I chose to incorporate a tiny collage I had done a year before in the corner. The collage is of an egg, and the pink bird that will surely hatch in a matter of time. The painting was also ripped in half and glued back together intentionally, and I altered the bottom half to make it darker. Not sure why I did this—I try not to over think the process too much. I tell kids all the time, ‘If it feels right then I just leave it be!’ “About to Burst”

The CPSI Conference, sponsored by the Creative Problem Solving Institute The CPSI conference opened my eyes to the idea that creative problem solving isn’t a linear exercise, it’s actually a web. That problem-solving power comes from uniqueness of thought, difference of perspective and building off of each other’s ideas. It has absolutely informed my teaching of problem solving skills; I certainly feel more efficient in my method and, overall, more knowledgeable.

Like the complex ecosystems around us, the Inly children, faculty, and spaces are growing — often quietly and unseen — a beautiful web of environmental awareness, connection, action, and interaction. This is the most wondrous part of being the Outdoor Classroom Bruce and a group of students plant the Coordinator, the ability to witness the “three sisters” — corn, beans, and squash sounds and sights of children exploring — in the raised garden beds. soil, planting and harvesting, tasting, smelling, feeling, analyzing evidence of living things found on the trail or under a log, making observations through drawing and writing, asking question after question, discussing, collecting data, constructing communities in the woods, problem solving, creating and innovating, making a difference, and just playing in mud, water, snow, and the openness of the outdoors. In these moments, I see joy and awe and hope. And I see children, through the thoughtful guidance of Inly faculty and community, become aware and mindful of just how much everything is connected.

And while all children at Inly get a chance to benefit from Jabari’s overarching athletics vision, they also benefit from that of Inly’s Movement Arts and Theater Instructor, Colleen Quinn. As Colleen explains, “The Movement Arts program, which includes creative movement and dance, encourages individual expression while teaching body/spatial awareness and energy control. Through creative movement and whole body activities, students are simultaneously engaging their inner self and outer body. Learning dances and creating choreography help to improve memorization and sequencing ability. All of these skills are used in sports, games and everyday life, which makes Movement Arts an integral part of the Athletics Program and the education of our well rounded students.” Inly’s Movement Arts program is open to all students, from toddler through Grade 8. Beginning in Children’s House and also running through Grade 8, students participate in physical education classes (designed to teach critical life skills like sportsmanship, teamwork, coordination, balance, self-discipline, and endurance) as well as co-ed organized sports classes. Activities range from basic motor games for Children’s House students like “red light, green light,” to balancing and weight distribution activities. From throwing and catching to more advanced Middle School activities like “break the bank,” floor hockey, CrossFit circuits, and the new the Spartan Obstacle Course. Inly’s After School Program provides opportunities for other athletic outlets like yoga, baseball, kickball, and volleyball on a less formal basis. In addition, students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 who are interested in participating in more structured co-ed team sports, can choose from soccer, flag football, basketball, and cross country.

MAC AND NEPSAC

Inly has been a member of the Montessori Athletic Conference of Massachusetts (MAC), an interscholastic league of 12 Montessori middle schools in Massachusetts, since 2009. But the field of competition was broadened considerably when Inly was accepted into NEPSAC three years ago. This much larger and more diverse coalition of athletic directors from accredited independent schools in New England, and their respective athletics teams, offers Inly students the opportunity to shine. And shine they have. Last October, Inly’s co-ed soccer team faced a formidable opponent and tied, 2-2. “I don’t think the other team thought for one minute we were going to be able to match their level of competition,” admits Jabari. “But, we did! It was an awesome experience.” As for winning… “While winning sure does feel good, I want our students to understand it’s not the only goal. Employing strategy, learning tactics, leveraging individual abilities to help the team succeed - these are important skills too,” Jabari says.

WINTER 2018

Donna Milani Luther, Head of Inly School, goes on to explain, “Our philosophy is that teamwork, not just competition, is what it takes to succeed – both on the sports field and in life. It’s not just about winning this or that particular game; it’s about winning your long-term personal race. It’s about finding the answer to the question ‘how am I going to be the best person I can be?’ Sports can be one vehicle to help us figure that out.”

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

And it’s not just the players and the coach that make a team work. Strong involvement and support from the wider Inly community has certainly contributed to the school’s success. From Inly parent and EVP/COO at Boston’s Spartan Race Inc., Jeff Connor’s (’24, ’25) work to provide Inly with its new Spartan Obstacle Course, to Inly parent Jim Walsh’s (’24, ’29) long-term involvement in coaching flag football, to fans ramping up the cheering at games, the wider Inly community regularly comes together to demonstrate its commitment to athletics.

“But it’s not just success on the field… For me, it’s all about community-based education.” JIM WALSH, P’24, ’29 “Soccer was great this year. The Inly Moms really rallied. I loved seeing the big, blue IKEA bag full of healthy items. Moms are the best!” Jabari recounts. He continues, “And, it’s no secret, Jim has really helped turn flag football around. We have won four championships in four years, so that really says it all.” “We really have had some great success with flag football. Who doesn’t enjoy their Sunday after a 57-0 or 99-0 win?,” agrees Jim. “But it’s not just success on the field. When I started working with the team five years ago, nobody showed up to our games. Now, the entire community rallies behind us.” He goes on to explain, “For me, it’s all about community-based education and I would say to all Inly parents, find the spot where you can contribute and don’t hold back.”

SPARTAN RACE

Last spring’s soccer team poses for a photo before a big game.

As for Inly’s secret for flag football success, “Well,” Jim says, “we borrowed from the Patriots: do simple good, and when you’re good at simple, do simple great. I tell the kids at the end of the season, at the playoffs and the jamboree, ‘You’ve earned this. You’ve put in the work. Go and get this. Not for me. Not for Jabari. Not for Inly. For yourselves.’”

A LOOK AHEAD

Jabari acknowledges that the program has already come a long way. “I know what it’s like to be considered an underdog, but to be able to come in and play like a champion. I think we have a real opportunity here – a chance to be something different from what people expect. We are winning, and we will continue to win. I love that we’re small: that we’re small and powerful.”

Founded in Vermont in 2007, Spartan Race was created by Joe De Sena – a serial entrepreneur who followed his passion for adventure races and endurance events. The first race included roughly 500 competitors who had to “run, crawl, jump and swim” to overcome a variety of obstacles. Today, there are more than 200 events in over 30 countries, and each race consists of a series of obstacles of varying difficulty in distances ranging from 3 to 26 miles. Spartan Kids Races encourage kids, ages 4 to 14, to get active, be healthy, and have fun while conquering various obstacles— because you are never too young to set goals and celebrate accomplishing them. THE SPARTAN CODE • Spartans push their minds and bodies to their limits. • Spartans master their emotions. • Spartans learn continuously. • Spartans give generously. • Spartans lead. • Spartans stand up for their beliefs, no matter the cost. • Spartans know their flaws as well as their strengths.. • Spartans prove themselves through actions, not words. • Spartans live every day as if it were their last.

WHAT IS LOVE? MIDDLE SCHOOL WRITING To support their reading of To Kill a Mockingbird, the middle school students are reading and writing about the experience of African Americans living in the South during the mid1900s. One essay was written by Julius Lester, the author of numerous books and essays. WRITING PROMPT: What does it mean to “find yourself”? Where does Julius Lester say he finds himself? Where do you go to find yourself?

Seth McGowan, 8th Grade By Eleanor Adamson, UE3

By Tyler Morrison, UE3

INLY SCHOOL

Julius Lester finds himself on a gray autumn day in a bookstore, looking for a way to well, find himself. I think it’s interesting that he looks to books and let’s them call to him. It’s as if books are his form of escape or creating an identity. He finds himself being called by a book, a book that speaks to him, a book that lends him a voice. The key word there is lends, because he used the book to find his own voice, beliefs, and ideals. Although Lester did not become a poet, he would not be the writer he is today had he not found himself in a bookstore. I usually find myself whenever I build with Legos, but for the opposite reason. In the way that a person could lose themselves in a book, I lose myself in Legos. Often times, I find nothing. Silence, peace, tranquility. I think that’s what happens when I find myself, I just see a big empty slate for me to write essays, or a track to run miles, or a site to build a bookstore.

Syrian refugee, Sara Mardini, speaks at Inly as part of the Omran-Nelson Speaker Series.

ara Mardini and her sister Yusra had a pact. If anything untoward should happen during their 2015 Mediterranean crossing from Turkey to Greece in an inflatable boat holding 20 Syrian refugees (but designed for six), they would only save themselves. They were, after all, elite swimmers and could probably manage it. So, what happened when the boat began to sink? What changed their thinking from “Don’t save anyone. You can’t.” to “How do I save five people, how do I save these 10, how do I save them all? You have to do something…” What was it in that moment that made Sara and Yusra, at 19 and 17, respectively, almost subconsciously decide that it was their job, their duty, their obligation to swim for three straight hours in stormy seas in order to not only save themselves, but also all of their fellow passengers? Perhaps we should call it heroism. Perhaps we should call it courage. Either way, when the moment came, those two young women knew what they needed to do and they had the fortitude to do the right thing. Don’t we wish we’d all be so brave? Don’t we like to think of ourselves as stepping up in those moments, grasping the opportunity, seizing the chance to be courageous, to help others, to do the right thing? And, what of our children? How do we teach them to do the same? How do we instill in them the knowledge that when the time comes to do what’s right, also comes the time to stand up and be a hero?

VARIATIONS ON A THEME As with every year at Inly School, an holistic, and often amorphous, theme wraps in and around and through the School’s curriculum. The 2016–17 theme — defying a single word summation — embraced the concepts and ideals of courage, of following your heart, of doing what’s right, of developing your own voice and your own understanding of what you value and will protect; really, the very essence of a hero’s toolkit.

Here’s where I stand, IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SONG

And, while principles and ideals and values are at a hero’s core, as anyone who’s ever watched Wonder Woman, Batman or Moana knows, every hero also needs an anthem.

INLY SCHOOL

“The song is absolutely the lynchpin,” explains Donna Milani Luther, Head of Inly School. In partnership with Meri-Lee Mafera, Music Instructor at Inly, the song Here’s Where I Stand, from the 2003 movie Camp written and directed by Todd Graff, was chosen as last year’s thematic anthem. Launched at the 2016 Winter Concert and with lyrics like: Here’s where I stand, Here’s who I am, Love me, but don’t tell me who I have to be… and Courage of love, Will show us the way, Unlock the power, To stand up and say, Here’s where I stand… …the song worked as the perfect musical counterpoint to other activities throughout the year — engineered to engage, inspire, and mobilize the entire Inly community.

“Fill the Truck Fridays provide an opportunity for our kids to appreciate the trickle-down effect of giving.” –LORI BL ACK , P’26, ’27

EVERYDAY HEROES “The month of February really galvanized the whole School,” says Julie Kelly-Detwiler, Assistant Head of School. Now in its second year, Fill the Truck Fridays, organized throughout the month of February, serve as a way for the entire Inly community to Stand Together to Make a Difference. What could be more heroic than the simple act of giving, be it shoes, CDs, birthday parties or jelly? “I am a firm believer in people being everyday heroes,” says Lori Black, Inly parent (’26 and ’27) and community outreach committee member. “Fill the Truck Fridays provide an opportunity for our kids to appreciate the trickledown effect of giving. It’s like a raindrop — it just keeps rippling out. It’s a chance for parents to be role models for their children and work to build the blocks of giving that will last a lifetime. And finally, it helps with the

development of real empathy too — to take a minute to stand in someone else’s shoes.” Interfaith Social Services, More Than Words, Souls4Soles, and Birthday Wishes were the charities sponsored last year. Inly parents and students also volunteered at Boston-based Cradles to Crayons. “Our charities, heroes in their own communities, were overwhelmed by the donations, they were beyond grateful. We were so pleased we were able to come together to support their worthwhile missions and we look forward to doing more of the same in the future,” Lori adds. By creating, and widely distributing, a list of suggested random acts of kindness for the month (and beyond) this particular committee is determined to make everyday heroes of us all.

The entire Inly community participated in Fill the Truck Fridays by bringing in items for various charitable organizations throughout the month of February.

Perhaps enough of a hero to be worthy of on our own box…?

BOXES OF HEROES In order to really get to grips with the qualities and attributes heroes embody, exhibit and employ, all K–8 students undertook age-appropriate in-classroom work to develop their own hero box. In Children’s House, students identified characteristics they found heroic and worked on developing hero

Here’s who I am… WINTER 2018

statements. Lower Elementary students went a step further; both creating and refining a hero list, doing more research and, in summation, writing paragraphs explaining thematic highlights, while in Upper Elementary, students wrote a letter to the single person they selected as their hero explaining why they were chosen and outlining the particular heroic qualities they most appreciated, applauded and to which they related or aspired. Operating on an even more in-depth level, the theme was tied into the entire curriculum for Middle School students. Through various works — more research, more writing, more thinking — they examined the ideas of “who am I, who am I in the world, what inspires me” and used the results of these examinations to create their own representative piece. All hero boxes, whose subjects ranged from Bill Gates to Barack Obama, from Alicia Keys to Mom and Dad, were displayed at the all-school Learning Fair. “This was a great project that every level could access,” notes Julie. “It made our students really think; who are the heroes in my life? How do the qualities of a hero apply to me? How do they apply to others around me?”

INLY SCHOOL

So, in our hero toolkit we now have an anthem, a truck full of giving, a box. What’s next? Oh yes, a cape.

COURAGEOUS CAPES “The hero capes were a great collaborative effort for our Upper Elementary students,” says Annemarie Whilton, Art Instructor at Inly. “The project required creativity, hard work and team work, and a serious exploration of what it means to be a hero.” Working in groups of two or three, students chose a single quality they believed in, a single hero characteristic they thought important – important in themselves and in others. Kindness, courage, and peace, were among those highlighted. Students then designed and produced hero capes to represent their chosen traits and brought them to life using the da Vinci Studio’s Green Screen Video Technology. “There was a lot of laughter and hamming it up while sharing and wearing and showing off their capes. Both educational and entertaining,” Annemarie admits.

Devon West: LOVE

Will Maxwell: DIVERSITY

STEADFAST SHOES For Inly Middle School students, another artistic endeavor provided the opportunity for self-reflection within the context of this year’s theme. What makes a hero if not a clear understanding of dearly held values, principles, ideals, beliefs? And so the ‘Here’s Where I Stand’ shoes were born. Students undertook individual inner explorations to identify those ideals, beliefs and principles for which they stand or those they are prepared to defend in others. They took the large and abstract concept of ‘hero’ and turned it into something much more personal. Witness

Abby DiGregorio: HEROISM

7th grader Isabel Perez’s “Love is Love” shoe billboard and 13-year old Will Maxwell’s shoe “Garden of Diversity.” “Overall, this was a generous theme. The beat of life. I wanted our students to spend some time thinking, really thinking about ‘what’s important to you’ and how to authentically express that in 3D,’ Annemarie concludes.

Courage of love,

“I want our children to understand that you don’t have to be old to be a hero… It’s never too soon to have courage, to be a role model for someone, to follow your heart, to follow your convictions.” –DONNA MIL ANI LUTHER

A RHINO NAMED INLY “Full immersion into these concepts helps our children make connections that are far wider than those made by just doing the active tasks at hand. They learn how to abstract from the immediate and apply their learnings to new and different areas of their lives. Their actions and reactions, of heart, hand and mind, are influenced and shaped and they begin to see these amorphous ideas and qualities in themselves,” Julie explains. Take, for example, the group of four students who banded together to help save the critically endangered African White rhinoceros. After agreeing on their cause and mustering up their courage, these students appealed to their fellow classmates and the wider Inly community for financial contributions, which were to be donated to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Lucy Sullivan (‘21), Chase Tyrrell (’19), Lila Bednarski (’20) and Catherine Sheehan (’20) produced an informative video appeal, organized for spare change jars to be placed in Inly classrooms and presented their case to a school-wide assembly. Overall, the students raised $370 for WWF, enough

to adopt a rhino — newly named, naturally, Inly.

A REAL-LIFE HERO And as for Sara, her heroism didn’t stop when she and her sister Yusra reached the Greek shores of Lesbos with the 18 other refugees they’d saved. As we found out during her Omran-Nelson Speaker Series presentation in April, 2017, “A Syrian Refugee’s Journey of Hope & Courage,” today she is a volunteer on that same island, actively saving refugee lives every day, bringing hope in times of terror and, more broadly, she has grown up into her role as a voice for refugees, a global advocate. “I want to use my voice and my story as a way to help de-stigmatize what it means to be a refugee,” says Sara. “I think people often forget that refugees are human beings too, with families, with dreams, with lives that have been turned upside down. I’m a refugee who’s decided to be proud of who I am. I am speaking loud. Everyone can hear me.” Donna concludes, “I want our children to understand that you don’t have to be old to be a hero. When you

stand up for what you believe in, when you follow that compass inside of you that tells you what’s right, and you put action behind it, you can’t go wrong. It’s never too soon to have courage, to be a role model for someone, to follow your heart, to follow your convictions. That’s what we’ve been teaching our children this year. We’ve been making heroes.”

Jeremy phillips ’07 W hen Jeremy Phillips graduated from Inly in 2007, he never imagined he’d be on track to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “This wasn’t at all what I envisioned for myself,” he explains. “Basketball was always my thing, but when I started running track it clicked with me immediately. Luckily, I loved it instantly and I’ve proven pretty good at it too.” Talk about an understatement. From holding the all-time records for 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at his alma mater, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, to his NCAA AllAmerican honors at the Division 3 National Championships, to his title as Male Track Athlete of the Year 2015 for the South/Southeast Region, to his second place finish in the 200m race and his first place finish in the 100m race at the 2017 Ireland National Track and Field Championships, Jeremy has been racking up the victories and accolades. But these victories aren’t free. A rigorous six-day-a-week training schedule including full days of sprint training as well as weight training four times a week and yoga at least twice a week means Jeremy is always putting in the hours to make his dreams come true. “Although I love it, I treat this as my job,” he explains. “Track is such an individual sport. You’re always competing with yourself. You’re always pushing yourself. As with any other

athlete, you need resilience, you need dedication. You’re always striving for perfection even though you’re aware that that’s not always attainable. You have to constantly evaluate yourself and ask, ‘how can I improve?’” He does take a day off though and on Sundays “I’m watching any sport that’s on TV. I really try to do as little as possible.” When it comes to what he learned at Inly: “Inly taught me to challenge myself. There was such an emphasis on being independent, on pushing yourself. I see that’s transferred to what I’m doing today.” The dual citizen (Irish and American) is looking forward to

competing in the 2018 European Championships in August and the World Championships in 2019. He’s using these milestones to gauge his progress and prepare for the ultimate goal, qualifying for the 2020 Olympics where he’ll be competing for Ireland. His lesson for future competitors: “It’s important to have a constant belief in yourself; a belief that when you do the right thing, it’ll go the right way. That confidence, plus resiliency – things don’t always go your way, but you have to keep trying – I’d say, those are the most important keys for success. That, and plain old hard work.” Jeremy, your Inly family wishes you the best of luck!

With the support of generous donors, the Inly community recently celebrated a milestone with the completion of the Grealish Family Pavilion and classrooms — an initiative which successfully caps off the InlyNext Campaign — and is positioned to further advance the School with it’s “Leading With Inly” five-year strategic plan.

ast fall, Inly engaged Strategic Innovation Group (SIG) to guide our strategic planning process. SIG specializes in serving organizations that desire a new, distinct and competitive edge by applying principles of innovation to their existing strategy and business model: near to long term. With the help of SIG, the planning committee developed the following objective: To create a five-year plan that positively differentiates Inly School from other Montessori and leading independent schools in New England. We have been very pleased with our process thus far. After many meetings within our community, the committee presented a series of Strategic Directions to our Board of Trustees. The Board will now review these directions, assess feasibility and begin to create a 5 year roadmap. We expect Board approval by the end of this school year, and will launch our new plan in September. Thanks to all who have been involved in this very important process for our school!

GOOD VIBES

Good vibes were felt at Station Eight in Marshfield on Saturday, May 6, 2017 when Inly celebrated the annual spring auction, entitled “Vibe.” The evening was a tremendous success, both in raising record-breaking funds, but also celebrating the “good vibes” that are felt each day at Inly. We are delighted with this achievement and grateful for the support of the entire community. Funds raised by the auction support Inly’s growing academic, athletic, arts, and experiential programs. In addition, over $40,000 was raised for the “Paddle Up for the Upper Field,” which will go towards Upper Field enhancements such as a new irrigation system, grading, and new grass — to be installed in June. This incredible event was only possible thanks to our parent volunteers, the Vibe Tribe, led by our co-chairs Denise Brisbane P’19, ’19, ’23 and Jaime Sullivan P’19, ’21, ’25.

8TH GRADE PARENT LEGACY GIFT Thanks to the parents and class of 2017, an area behind the middle school was revitalized and turned into a new recreation space for Middle School students. The recreation area features a Super Nova, tri-level climbing bar and two new bench swings. With an all-time high Middle School enrollment, the recreation area provides additional spaces for outdoor activities. The 8th Grade Parent Legacy Gift is a tradition at Inly for parents to make a gift in honor of the graduating class. We are grateful to Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Allessandro Corp. for generously providing the site preparation and installation for the space.
