Message from the Head of School

Dear LFCDS Family, One of the many highlights of my week occurs every Wednesday when I have the opportunity to join a table of Senior Kindergarteners for lunch. We still value family-style meals at Lake Forest Country Day School, and it’s a pleasure to sit with some of our youngest students, who are friendly enough to welcome me, a strange new adult, to their table each week. The ritual of lunch, like so much of what we do at LFCDS, is also a carefully designed educational and community experience. Everyone has a job to do, a contribution to make. As the adult at my table, I’m expected to distribute the food (while wearing a smile and almost clownishly large plastic gloves), teach good table manners, ask about all the goings-on in SK these days, and supervise all the other eager helpers at the table. One student delivers the milk for all the milkdrinkers (red carton or blue, organic either way), another fetches dessert (almost always fruit, but cookies, with great fanfare, make an occasional appearance), another takes up everyone’s plates to be cleaned, another sweeps the floor around the table, and the last tablemate has the coveted job of “spray and wipe” (coveted more for the privilege of spraying a water bottle than for wiping down the table, of course). Perhaps my favorite ritual of each lunch begins when Mrs. Hempen, the music teacher to our youngest students, puts on a musical selection for us all to listen to, on the condition that we all eat our food silently and listen. Now, this is a uniquely joyous time, despite everyone being on mute. I bet your lunch doesn’t involve seeing kindergarteners dance and bop their heads to Ella Fitzgerald classics. Mine, I’m glad to report, often does.

Lunch must be the most frequent of our many community experiences, so frequent, in fact, that it might be easy to overlook it as a central community experience. And if LFCDS is good at many things (as indeed it is), it is especially good at bringing people together as a community.

I bet your lunch doesn’t involve seeing kindergarteners dance and bop their heads to Ella Fitzgerald classics. Mine, I’m glad to report, often does. Each fall semester we gather for Family Movie Night in the Courtyard and Family Reading Night in the Atrium. We come together for our larger, more formal fall assemblies: the Veterans Day Assembly, when we pay tribute to those brave men and women who have defended our country and our values; our Thanksgiving Assembly, when students, faculty, young alumni, and families come together to express gratitude through speech and song; and our Holiday Assembly, the final part of our Family Visiting Day program before we disperse for the fun

and rest of Winter Break. Each of these events carries a certain community beauty. Though quite grand in scale, they are, like the lowly, quotidian lunch rituals, carefully designed and prepared experiences that teach our students what community membership looks like, sounds like, and feels like. It’s remarkable to me how smoothly and successfully a growth-oriented institution like LFCDS can preserve and honor its traditions. Having known many independent schools, I have never seen such thoughtfully designed gatherings as those I’ve come to know at LFCDS. To bring people together so that we all can learn and reflect is to fulfill our mission as a school community. As we embark on a new school year and look back on the one that has just passed, let us celebrate all that LFCDS preserves of its traditions and all the ways that our school creates new possibilities for the years ahead. Sincerely,

Joy Hurd Head of School

The board approves the annual operating and capital budgets, receives an annual review of the School’s financial operations and assets, monitors its financial management, and ensures that the physical plant serves the School’s programs. The work of the trustees is carried on primarily in small committees to ensure a thorough study and discussion of policy matters. Throughout the year, board members volunteer countless hours actively engaged with the School and developing effective strategies for addressing the School’s needs, serving the School’s mission, and benefiting the LFCDS community as a whole.

PP: What was your favorite subject or class? KL: My favorite class was art.

PP: What is the best advice you have received? KM: “Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.” Theodore Roosevelt didn’t give me this advice himself, of course. But I try to live by this motto and to feel comfortable with giving my best effort with the resources available to me.

PP: What is your favorite piece of technology? DM: Again, so many cool tools enable so many amazing creative options. I’ll have to go with the laptop, and possibly a tablet like an iPad. I can turn a computer into a recording studio, a media production bay, a 3D design workstation, etc. The flexibility and connectivity we get from these tools is a gateway to so many possibilities.

PP: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? DM: I don’t know that there was a specific something I always wanted to be. I wanted to try lots of different things. I used to fantasize about being able to jump into other people’s bodies, just to see what it was like to be them. As a teenager, I wanted to be a musician, but I also found myself wanting to make a difference in the lives of others. I found that I really enjoyed teaching around that time as well. PP: Who is your favorite literary character and why? DM: Piscine Molitor Patel from Life of Pi by Yann Martel is one of my favorites. He seems small, a bit spoiled, but resilient and feisty from a young age. Plus, anyone that can spend so much time lost at sea in a lifeboat with a tiger and survive deserves some admiration. I also really like Meg Murry and Charles Wallace, Sherlock Holmes, Big Brother, Gandalf, Atticus Finch, Gregor Samsa, Wilbur…

PP: Do you have a favorite podcast? KM: I try to listen to the New York Times daily podcast, The Daily, as often as possible. I also enjoy Zen Parenting Radio.

own before the trip, then spent Friday in sectionals, one rehearsal with the whole band on Friday night, and another on Saturday morning. Saturday night was the performance. We performed one piece by Wagner, “Elsa Procession to the Cathedral,” with such emotion that I could see a tear roll down the cheek of our conductor. I looked around and saw that several of my fellow performers were crying as well. It felt amazing to be a part of that performance. It was a thrill that I will never forget.

Director of Technology

New Faculty & Staff

PP: What inspires you? DM: People who share their stories, experiences, emotions, and vulnerability.

pass in L.A. because I didn’t experience the seasons marking time. I love that they keep me mindful of time.

PP: Pizza: Thin crust or deep dish? DM: I love it all. I like crispy cracker-thin crusts, local-pizzeria buttery middleweight crusts, and deep dish decadence. I don’t discriminate.

PP: Cat or dog? DM: “Achoo” Where!? “achoo” They always “achoo” know how to “achoo” find me! “ACHOO!!!!”

PP: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? DM: Apple pie ice cream is like a dream of the best family holidays on your tongue. Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey is a guilty pleasure that I couldn’t get in Ecuador. Most chocolate chip cookie dough ice creams are irresistible for me. And Mexican style paletas are great in coconut, mango, watermelon, and strawberry. PP: Do you have a favorite podcast? DM: Lots — This American Life, Radiolab, You, the Indicator, Planet Money, Hidden Brain, Throughline, Freakonomics, Invisibilia, ReSound, TED Radio Hour, and 99% Invisible, are in heavy rotation on my commute, and I’d much rather listen to anyone of these than watch most things on TV. I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones!

PP: Winter, spring, summer, or fall? DM: All you have to do is call? I think you have to appreciate all of it. There’s nothing like summer in Chicago. I love long days, night swimming, BBQs, and lightning bugs. By the end of the scorching summer, the fall feels like sweet relief, and the changing colors of the leaves and the sunsets always put me in a reflective mood. Winters feel like an adventure we’re going through together. I love the way the sound of the outside changes after a heavy snowfall. Everything just sounds billowy and soft. After a frigid winter, spring comes with such relief, the renewal of life fills us with so much hope, we all start wearing shorts in 60-degree weather. I lived in L.A. for a few years in my twenties, and, having grown up in Chicago, I feel like I didn’t notice the time

Dick Paulus Director of Finance and Operations

PP: Pizza: Thin crust or deep dish? DP: Deep dish with mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives.

PP: What are you currently reading or who is your favorite author? DP: I’m currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama, but my favorite author in grade school was Edgar Allen Poe. PP: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? DP: Rocky Road. PP: Kindle or hardcopy book/ newspaper? DP: Hardcopy, and not just because you can’t make an airplane or hat with a Kindle. PP: Cubs or Sox? DP: Is that even a choice? Cubs, of course. PP: Cat or dog? DP: I’ve always loved dogs, but currently we have two cats, Holly and Pip.

It was my favorite movie when I was younger and continues to be today. PP: What inspires you? AS: My family inspires me, especially all nine of my nieces and nephews.

I love the warm weather and enjoy being outside as often as I can. PP: Cat or dog? AS: I love both, but I currently own a dog.

Tracie Tatz Director of Bands

Paw Prints: What is your favorite memory of school as a child? Tracie Tatz: I always loved school, so I don’t think I can pinpoint a favorite memory. I know I was really proud of getting to play the recorder accompaniment to a song my peers sang in the fourth-grade choir concert. I also vividly remember my first notes on trumpet. But some of the teachers I had in my core classes also helped shape me into the person I am today. School was always my happy place. PP: What was your favorite subject or class? TT: I always loved band and music but also really enjoyed English and social studies. I always had great teachers who were good at telling stories that made those classes come to life. PP: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? TT: For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. By middle school, I knew I wanted to teach music!

PP: Who is your favorite literary character and why? TT: Hermione Granger. I grew up with the Harry Potter series and I loved the fact that she was always true to herself, her love of learning, and was also so brave. PP: Early bird or night owl? TT: I am definitely a morning person. A fun fact is that I have never consumed a cup of coffee either! PP: If you could vacation anywhere, where would it be? TT: One of my goals is to travel to Peru and climb Machu Picchu. PP: What is your favorite movie? TT: The Lion King! PP: What inspires you? TT: Good people, quality conversation, and listening to music all inspire me. PP: What is your favorite ice cream flavor? TT: Mint chocolate chip. PP: Kindle or hardcopy book/ newspaper? TT: I love hardcopy books. The feeling of holding the book and turning the pages will never be replaced by my tablets. PP: Cubs or Sox? TT: Cubs! I bleed red and Cubbie blue!

2019 Summer Professional Development It is part of our mission at LFCDS to instill in our students a lifelong passion for learning. We take great pride in learning and growing alongside our students. Many LFCDS faculty and staff spend time during the summer months engaged in professional development with the goal of ensuring our students are receiving the most innovative, effective, nurturing, and comprehensive education available. 41st Annual Early Childhood Conference, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Sue Buhrmester, 1st STEP Teacher Erin Jantsch, Preschool Teacher Robin Fox, Interim Dean of Early Childhood at UW-Whitewater, shared the importance of having difficult conversations with children, family members, and other adults. She outlined tools and strategies to use to ensure these conversations are effective, productive, and beneficial to all parties involved in the conversation. “We brought back many new ideas that we will implement in our classrooms in addition to a long list of book titles we will add to our classroom libraries.” – Sue Buhrmester

Intensive Instructional Coaching Institute Ventura, CA Joy Hurd, Head of School Andy Sperling, Head of Upper School Pete Moore, Head of Lower School and Assistant Head of School Sara Walsh, Director of Early Childhood and Assistant Head of Lower School This five-day intensive institute is designed to provide deep knowledge and a solid skill base in the domains essential to being effective Instructional Coaches. These coaches work one-on-one with faculty to provide guidance, training, and any necessary resources to best engage students and provide an optimal, innovative learning experience.

Science Curriculum Alignment and Addressing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Lake Forest, IL Mark Arthur, Science Department Chair & Upper School Science Teacher Greg McDonough, Director of Innovation Kevin Nicholson, ECC/Lower School Science Teacher Steve Robnick, Upper School Science Teacher The Science department participated in a workshop to examine foundational science concepts and vertical alignment of the LFCDS science curriculum. The team also worked through the interdisciplinary strands outlined by NGSS and assessed

whether concepts were introduced, reviewed, and mastered at each grade level. “Being with my esteemed science colleagues and learning from their incredible insight and knowledge of best practices was inspiring.” – Mark Arthur

I was inspired by how nature-based learning connects all areas of early childhood development to create a strong foundation for future school success. Teachers College, Columbia University Writing Workshop Institute New York City, NY Marie Dohnke, Grade 1 Teacher Kimberly Kohl, Senior Kindergarten Teacher During this five-day institute, small and large group sections closely examined the central role of curriculum development and planning in the teaching of writing, unpacked the units of study in writing workshop, explored ways to use literature to help students craft their writing, and discussed classroom structures that support inquiry and collaboration. “This work matters. The teaching of writing matters. Writing gives children power and voice. It’s not just about the writing, it’s about becoming writers. Give space for approximation. Good teaching is responsive and teaches the writer, not the writing. Reading is the finest teacher of how to write.” – Kimberly Kohl

Midwest Early Childhood Educators Symposium — Lessons from the Forest: How Great Programs Place Nature at the Heart of the Curriculum Morton Arboretum Lisle, IL Kimberly Allen, Preschool Teacher Jen Baurer, Preschool Teacher Sue Buhrmester, 1ST STEP Teacher Erin Jantsch, Preschool Teacher Marcia Peterson, Senior Kindergarten Teacher This conference focused on the importance of nature-based play in the early childhood years. The presentations stressed the social-emotional benefits in addition to academic discoveries that develop through nature-based play. “I loved learning about the research behind the importance of building self-help skills, which we emphasize in preschool. I also came back with new ideas for incorporating children’s nature photography into our outdoor play.” – Jen Baurer “I enjoyed learning more about the value of mud play and the materials, resources, STEM projects, and other activities that go into setting up a successful mud kitchen.” – Erin Janstsch “I was inspired by how nature-based learning connects all areas of early childhood development to create a strong foundation for future school success.” – Marcia Peterson

National Association of School Nurses 51st Annual Conference Denver, Colorado Sharon Dewart, RN, School Nurse During the course of four days, this conference included a wide variety of educational sessions and workshops on current-day, evidence-based practices that promote student health, academic success, and a healthy school community. Some of the topics included diabetes,

mental health, medical cannabis, precocious puberty, and the impact of childhood trauma. “I appreciate the opportunity I am given to attend these nursing conferences that are directly applicable to my role as the School Nurse. It is also a wonderful way to network with other professional school nurse colleagues from around the country.” – Sharon Dewart, R.N.

INDEX Marketing & Communications Conference, Atlanta, GA

Alex Sheridan, Director of Enrollment, Marketing, & Financial Aid INDEX (Independent Schools Data Exchange) offers “a framework that provides the structure, management support, and technical and analytical expertise” to a consortium of member schools who meet throughout the year represented by different departments across each institution. June’s Marketing & Communications conference featured Marketing & Communications Directors. I led a breakout session titled “Activating Ambassadors” and facilitated a discussion for about 30 participants about the best ways to leverage faculty/staff, student, parent, and alumni perspectives as part of a school’s internal and external marketing strategies. “It was fun, and affirming, to connect with other marketing/communications leaders about the experiences we’ve had at our respective schools. It’s also wonderful that LFCDS has the ability to learn practices from, and share our practices with, some of the finest independent schools in the country.” – Alex Sheridan

A Passion for Podcasting When I was 18 years old, I moved to England and worked at a boarding school for a year before starting University. The year was 1994, and I had not yet heard of email or the Internet. I had to make friends quickly because I was a long way from home and calling Australia was extremely expensive! One of the boarding masters at the school had a book on his shelf by Dale Carnegie called How to Win Friends & Influence People.

was genuinely interested. And he felt it… That kind of listening is one of the highest compliments we can pay anyone.” As a nervous 18-year-old, I eagerly followed Mr. Carnegie’s advice. In no time, I found that I was able to speak to anyone, at any time, because people indeed appreciate others listening to them and asking follow-up questions. I quickly found that everyone has an absolutely fascinating story to share.

This was the first “self-improvement” book I had ever read, and it changed my life forever. Mr. Carnegie wrote that the key to being a good conversationalist was being a good listener. He wrote, “I had listened intently. I had listened because I

Over the last 25 years, I have loved meeting new people and asking them questions to better understand what they think, why they do what they do, and how they have overcome the inevitable obstacles that were set in their paths.

In 2005, I started listening to podcasts, and since that time I have loved absorbing thousands of podcast interviews with people from all walks of life. I have been fortunate enough to work at some excellent schools around the world and have always been humbled by incredible stories of those in the communities in which I have worked. A few years ago, I began thinking about how I should create a podcast to share the stories I have gathered during my time at LFCDS. I asked our Director of Innovation Greg McDonough to help me with my dream of launching an LFCDS community podcast. Greg and I bought some excellent podcasting equipment and watched videos online about podcasting, and I worked through an online podcasting course. We limped along, hoping to launch the LFCDS podcast in the fall of 2019. That was when David Muniz joined LFCDS as our Director of Technology. David had produced podcasts in the past and had also worked in audio production. David propelled us forward and had us fully utilizing our equipment and producing episodes that sounded professional. Launching our podcast has been a dream come true, and it could not have happened without the support of Greg and David. Our goal is to produce a long-form podcast that captures the fascinating people who make up the LFCDS community. Our first few episodes highlight stories from LFCDS parents, faculty, and even alumni. We hope you enjoy the LFCDS Community Podcast which you can listen to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.

Grade 4 students MJ Fox, Coleman Keller, Lucas Rosen, Sienna Szechinski, and Liberty Whidden kicked off a very special morning as they spoke about their Lower School experience at a reception for graduating fourth-grade students and their families in the Early Childhood Center (ECC). Immediately following, in the newly renovated Performing Arts Center (PAC), Lower School and ECC teachers delivered heartfelt, and sometimes humorous, words outlining each Grade 4 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shining attributes. Head of Lower School Pete Moore closed out the beautiful ceremony by congratulating the students on their move to the Upper School. Grade 3 students formed a bridge for their peers to cross as Head of Upper School Andy Sperling congratulated each student with a handshake, and faculty members lined the hallway to welcome the students to Upper School.

Graduation Class of 2019 From everyone at LFCDS, we wish the Class of 2019 the best of luck as they continue to prosper as young adults of strong character who will make a positive impact in the communities where they study, live, and work in the years to come. The LFCDS Graduation Ceremony is a beautiful reflection on the time students have spent at the School. It is a time to celebrate the bonds students have formed both with their teachers and with each other while looking ahead to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next adventure. On Thursday, June 13, the chilly, rainy weather couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen the spirit of celebration as we honored our eighth-grade students with a touching and memorable graduation ceremony in the Gymnasium. The morning included opening remarks by Head of School Joy Hurd, faculty bookplate readings for each graduating student, and closing words by Andy Sperling, Head of Upper School. Graduates Ben Arthurs and Evalyn Lee spoke poignantly on their years at LFCDS. Board Chair Dr. Ahmed Farag presented the annual Bondy Hodgkins Award to LFCDS parent volunteers Nick Alexos, Fred and Jacqueline Wacker, and Elizabeth Walvoord for their outstanding service to the school community.

“ LFCDS is where I first learned to feel a common bond to a big circle of people. I continue to think of the students and faculty as family members — even the newer ones I’ve never met. Being bound by the same core values connects people, so we have that between us.” — Anton Walvoord ’19

2019 Graduation

Lake Forest Country Day School 2019 Award Recipients The Mary E. Ballard Community Service Award

The Alexander C. Bell Drama Prize

This award is named in loving memory of Mary Ballard, a former LFCDS teacher, mother, and tireless volunteer. Through the generosity of those close to Mary, the Community Service Award recipient receives $500 intended not for him or her, but to donate to an organization of his or her own choosing. For Mary, the real gift was not in receiving but in giving. The intent of this presentation is to honor a student who, like Mary, acted above and beyond what was required by the community service program. The recipient must demonstrate leadership and a commitment to serve others with respect and compassion.

This prize is awarded annually by the drama faculty to the graduate(s) who demonstrates through his or her efforts, the outstanding characteristics of the Bells’ interest in, and support of, the dramatic arts.

Bondy Hodgkins Award for Distinguished Volunteer Service Established in 1985, the award recognizes Mrs. Hodgkins’ remarkable commitment to volunteer service as a parent of LFCDS, including 13 years on the Board of Trustees, the last four of which she served as President. A strong sense of parent involvement is a hallmark of our school, and we take great pride in celebrating the time as well as energy our parents dedicate each year to make so much possible for our students and teachers. It is with enduring gratitude that all of us at LFCDS congratulate our 2019 Bondy Hodgkins award winners, Nick Alexos, Fred ’74 and Jacqueline Wacker, and Elizabeth Walvoord. Nick Alexos’s broad-based leadership involvement has been instrumental in carrying out strategic initiatives and providing guidance to the school with financial best practices. He served on the board as a trustee for six years, and after his board term ended, he contributed significant amounts of time and expertise to strengthen the school’s investments as chair of the investment sub-committee. His strategic vision and input has been critical to the finance, development, investment, and master planning committees. As a capital campaign co-chair, he was at the forefront of planning the recently achieved $12 million capital campaign that brought

us the Innovation Lab, renovated PAC, refurbished gymnasium, and strengthened our endowment. Award recipients Fred ’74 and Jacqueline Wacker have had a transformative impact on LFCDS. Jacqueline always responds with a “yes” when she is asked to step in and volunteer. She is a true go-getter and will go out of her way to get things done without fail. She is passionate and tackles tasks with purpose. She has been involved in the School in so many capacities, including as a room parent, class agent, classroom volunteer, Parent Association council member, events co-chair, homecoming chair, and dedicated auction volunteer, including being an auction co-chair of the Day School Drive-In. Her support of the School when her husband was board chair is truly unequaled, and together as a team, this couple sacrificed countless hours of

time and effort to keep LFCDS moving in the right direction. In addition to vision and leadership, Fred has provided a road map, which set the stage for LFCDS’s success over the last six years. As a member of the Board of Trustees for nine years, the last four of which he was board president, Fred helped steer the LFCDS ship forward. He never relented in working to make LFCDS a better place for the children, and for the faculty and staff. His incredible integrity, inclusive leadership, high level of emotional intelligence, and immeasurable number of volunteer hours led us into a new chapter. His extraordinary involvement and selfless dedication has benefited the students, faculty, staff, and families associated with LFCDS for generations to come. All in, all the time, Elizabeth Walvoord is intentional and fully committed to getting things done in the best way possible. She has been incredibly giving of her time and talents across the School for 13 years. She is artistic and creative. As a volunteer, her creative gifts have transformed our spaces, and she has produced unimaginable masterpieces that have brightened our hallways. From auction decorations, to classroom activities, to drama productions, she has led each of these adventures with an extraordinary sense of inclusion and an exceptionally kind soul. All with the goal of creating the best experiences possible for the children.

Yvonne Banks Caring Teacher Award The Yvonne Banks Caring Teacher Award celebrates two teachers annually “who have demonstrated exceptional creativity using their abilities to help and nurture children.”

Yvonne Banks Caring Teacher Award Recipients from the past five years include the following:

Yvonne Banks was a beloved teacher and a parent at LFCDS. The family of Yvonne Banks originally created the award in 1992 to honor the compassion and support her children received from their teachers at our school during Yvonne’s illness.

Karisma Chhabria ’11 Long before settling as an adult in Lake Forest, a young boy spent his formative years in the Parel neighborhood of Bombay, now Mumbai, in India. It was an industrial area burgeoning with textile mills and the hope of prosperity and growth. The boy could never have imagined that a generation later, his daughter would return to the region on a Fulbright Scholarship with the dream of weaving together her passion for medicine with her drive to ensure better health for young mothers and babies in India.

Karisma Chhabria ’11 graduated from Brown University in May with a concentration in Biochemistry and a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research on maternal-fetal health and the human microbiome in India. “The lab where I will be working is in the same neighborhood where my father grew up,” she said. “It’s such a coincidence, but really there are so many common factors in my life that are falling into place.”

grateful to all of my teachers. They were very supportive in letting us take risks and encouraging us to study what we found interesting.”

She credits much of her success to her time at Lake Forest Country Day School. “I think the preparation and the study skills I learned at LFCDS really helped me to thrive at Brown,” she confided. “I am so

Even Karisma’s extracurricular pursuits seem rooted at LFCDS. She first played volleyball as a Panther, and later joined a volleyball group based in Vernon Hills, which she hopes to reconnect with when

She put her Spanish skills from Nan Caldwell’s class to good use as a resource advocate at a hospital in Providence. “My job was to help connect people with the services they needed, so being able to write emails in Spanish to clients was very helpful.”

she returns from India. At Brown she played volleyball on the women’s club team. “I also sang in the South Asia Acapella group, and I really owe that to Mr. Baeseman’s chorus.” Karisma has been accepted to Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, where she will begin her training in July to become an obstetrician and gynecologist. “A lot of histories are colliding. My mother was very inspiring to me — she was a labor and delivery nurse — and she was treated for cancer at Northwestern Hospital,” she said. “I remember feeling that even through all of the challenging times, there was still hope there in the cancer ward.”

It is hope that Karisma will carry with her into her research this year, as she helps to catalogue the diversity of microbes between racial and ethnic groups and the incidence of pre-term births. The goal is to ultimately develop a test that could determine whether or not women, particularly those with limited access to medical care, are at risk for having a pre-term birth. Karisma generously sat down with Paw Prints — just days before leaving for Mumbai — to reflect on her LFCDS experience.

I think the preparation and the study skills I learned at LFCDS really helped me thrive at Brown. I am so grateful to all of my teachers. In Upper School, there were so many things we studied, like simple machines, robotics, the bridge project, the rollercoaster project, and even the Robbie Bermingingham Speaking Contest — LFCDS offered a comfortable space to fail and try again, an opportunity to try new things and learn and grow.

Paw Prints: What is your favorite LFCDS memory? Karisma Chhabria: There are so many great memories, and really they are all additive. I remember being in Mrs. Crofts’s science class, and we were learning about the scientific method. Mrs. Crofts said that for extra credit, we could write a lab report about anything. I think about that now and realize it is such an ingenious idea, because that’s essentially what all researchers do — they think up a lab experiment, write up a lab report on what they’ve found, and then publish it. Instilling that sense of independence and encouraging us to be go-getters is something that has really stuck with me.

PP: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? KC: For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a doctor. Actually, I think in my Junior Kindergarten journal it says that I wanted to be a dancer!

PP: What was your favorite class at LFCDS? KC: I had so many great classes and teachers — Mr. Crofts, Mrs. Caldwell, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Stuckslager, the list just goes on and on. Mr. Sperling… oh my gosh, just the other day I was clearing out space on my computer, and I found this old video we did for Mr. Sperling’s eighthgrade algebra II class. It was a music video on conic sections — he just had such a great teaching style. And Mrs. McCauley with fifth-grade statistics — I didn’t realize how useful that would be. Statistics is probably the most direct application of math that we have to use, especially in medicine.

PP: What is the biggest innovation so far in your lifetime? KC: I think the smartphone has really changed our society — even for telemedicine. For example, when you learn CPR, it is really difficult to get real-time feedback on how well someone is doing compressions unless you have a very specialized mannequin. But these days they have a smartphone app that connects to a sensor in the mannequin, and you can see on your smartphone how deep your compressions are going and how fast they are. In places like India, where it can take an hour or more for an ambulance to respond, CPR really is life-saving. I read somewhere that

I guess I would have to say that Mrs. Crofts’s science class was probably my favorite. I first studied biochemistry in her class, which is what I went on to major in at Brown. I really believe the preparation and study skills I learned at LFCDS have helped me to be successful.

more people in the world have access to a smartphone than have access to a bathroom. PP: What is the best advice you have received? KC: You know, I can be sitting at the library at school, and I’ll think about Mr. Baeseman ending every class with, “Go make a positive difference in the world.” I really do feel like I owe it all to my teachers. They have been mentors and advisors. PP: If you could live anywhere, where would it be? KC: Really ever since I was little I’ve wanted to live in India. I remember relatives telling me they thought I would change my mind after visiting, but I went in 2015 and came back saying, “Guess what? I still want to live in India!” So to have this opportunity is incredible. I talked to an Ob/Gyn who takes medical trips each year to different countries. So, I think long-term, while I’d like to come back here, my goal would be to go back into a situation where you can perform a procedure that might really improve someone’s quality of life and share some of the research and resources we have here. PP: What is your favorite song? KC: Anything by Coldplay! PP: Favorite movie? KC: Anything Bollywood — I grew up with Bollywood! PP: Book? KC: Anything by Jhumpa Lahiri, author of the books Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake, among many others. Her style of writing is just so real. PP: Cubs or Sox? KC: Cubs! Sorry, Sameer! (Karisma’s brother Sameer Chhabria ’88 is a current LFCDS parent of Shalin ’23, and a devoted Sox fan.)

Jack Richard ’10 Autonomous technology and swarm intelligence may sound like principles of science fiction that are years from actualization, but for Jack Richard, they are an integral part of his everyday life. Following graduation from Lake Forest High School, Jack attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, where he pursued his bachelor’s degree in computer science and spent his summers working at Aptiv on their technology for autonomous vehicle systems — often referred to as self-driving cars. Currently enrolled in Northwestern University’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program through the McCormick Engineering School, Jack juggles rigorous coursework with research in swarm intelligence — technology that enables separate systems, each with a simple job, to collectively perform their tasks and solve problems in the most efficient way possible. In addition, he has several startups, one of which, LineLeap, was funded as part of the Y Combinator batch of the summer of 2019. LineLeap creates as “fast pass” option for popular venues in cities across the country, and Y Combinator provides seed funding for innovative and promising startups. Over the course of three months, Y Combinator’s intensive program helps support and advise each small company on development, implementation, and investors, so Jack spent every Thursday and Friday this summer at the organization’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA. During the rest of the week, Jack traveled, with his faithful dog Lionel at his side between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Detroit acting as a consultant for his other startups. Paw Prints was able to catch up with Jack, via technology of course, to capture his reflections on his time at LFCDS.

Paw Prints: What is your favorite LFCDS memory? Jack Richard: My favorite memory of LFCDS is preparing and competing in the LEGO competitions. PP: What was your favorite class at LFCDS? JR: Definitely gym class! I will never forget Mr. (Mike) Steffens starting class by yelling out, “Sit down, clowns!” PP: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? JR: Ever since I read my first Iron Man comic in kindergarten, I have strived to be a more humble Tony Stark. This motivated my degree in computer science as well as my MS in Artificial Intelligence. PP: Who were your most memorable LFCDS teachers? JR: I was fortunate to have an All-Star lineup of teachers while attending LFCDS. Mrs. (Kimberly) Kim, Mrs. (Marcia) Mann, Mr. (Mark) Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. (Bob & Sally) Bullard are just a few of the amazing teachers I was lucky to be molded by. In addition, I will always be thankful for the time I had with Dave Genger. PP: What is the biggest innovation so far in your lifetime? JR: While it did not begin in my lifetime, artificial intelligence will be the most influential innovation of the 21st century. PP: What is the best advice you have received? JR: In my family we have a special appreciation of The Lion King. Whenever a seemingly insurmountable obstacle

arises, my parents simply say “Lion King” and my marching orders are immediately defined. Being the Lion King means accepting your responsibilities and the circumstances you are in, taking a deep breath, and facing anything and everything with your head held high. PP: If you could live anywhere, where would it be? JR: Anywhere within a short car ride to my family and friends! Let’s see where that takes me! PP: What is your favorite song?

Annual Report Annual Giving Fund, Auction, and Paddle Raise Gifts

2018 – 2019 Annual Report

A Message from

Head of School Dear Friends of LFCDS, The word “philanthropy” comes from ancient Greek and translates roughly to “love of humankind.” It’s a wonderful word and a wonderful concept, and the love you all show for our school through your philanthropy makes a difference beyond measure in the lives of our children and our teachers. In my first year as Head of School, I have felt awestruck by the commitment of our community to the mission and work of our school. At every turn, members of our community give their time and their talents to create the most inspiring educational experience possible for our students. Our school is a magical place of joy and challenge, committed to building our students’ foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. The support given to our Annual Giving Fund is the lifeblood of our school, helping to close the gap between tuition and the true cost of offering the exceptional education we believe all our students deserve. Last year, thanks to the community’s philanthropic support, we were able to raise $574,083 with gifts from parents, alumni, faculty, and staff, grandparents, alumni parents, and friends. Without this financial support, we could not be the school that we are. Last March, I also experienced my first LFCDS Auction as Head of School. The Bright Lights, Big City Auction, chaired by the dynamic and talented Pim Alley and Kate Holland, was a huge success. The Paddle Raise was a highlight of the evening, not only because of the incredible demonstration of support you all showed for LFCDS, but also because of the energetic cheering — and notable dancing talent — of my colleagues standing behind me. If ever there was a time for me to see and feel our community’s love for our school, it was during that

portion of the evening. Through your generosity, we raised $919,725. Money from the Auction and Paddle Raise makes possible new initiatives, such as new classroom furniture in select classrooms, an additional social worker to enhance our social and emotional learning program, premier professional development opportunities for our faculty, and the annual Special Speakers Series, which this year will bring technology author Catherine Steiner-Adair and psychologist and author Lisa Damour to campus. I’d like to thank our parents and alumni, my talented and inspiring colleagues, and the Board of Trustees for the remarkable support shown to our school during the 2018–2019 school year. I’d like to especially thank Dr. Ahmed Farag, who in his third and final year as Board President (and tenth year as a trustee!), was a source of tireless support. His belief in our school and its mission inspires me, and I am deeply grateful for his leadership. With gratitude and excitement for all that lies ahead,

Joy Hurd Head of School

2018 – 2019 Annual Report

A Message from

President of the Board Dear LFCDS Family and Friends, It’s with gratitude that I extend my deepest appreciation for your tremendous support during the 2018 – 2019 academic year. We kicked off the last academic year with a new Head of School, Joy Hurd, who quickly transitioned into the community and was dedicated to continuing on our school’s successful upward trajectory. We are excited about his leadership and the many talents he brings to LFCDS. LFCDS is an incredible institution that continues to deliver an outstanding education, and the generous support from the LFCDS community is unique and second to none. Your vital support and affirmation directly impacted the LFCDS mission, and we are profoundly grateful for your philanthropic partnership, whether it was through your volunteering, time commitment, or monetary support. This report is a highlight of all the volunteer and financial support given to LFCDS during the past fiscal year. I would like to extend my appreciation to Development Co-Chairs Jamee Kane ’90 and Marianne Silver, members of the Board of Trustees, the dedicated team of class agents, and our alumni volunteers whose letters, calls, emails, and outreach to community members established a substantial level of unrestricted support for this year’s annual fund. As the school’s top fundraising priority, the Annual Giving Fund deeply impacts our dynamic educational programs and directly supports every student and faculty member. Our 37th Annual Auction, Bright Lights, Big City was a resounding success, thanks to the efforts of co-chairs Pim Alley and Kate Holland and their incredible volunteer team. They orchestrated a spectacular evening, which balanced both fundraising and community building.

Supported by a talented administrative team and a splendid faculty, it has been my honor to serve as President of the Board of Trustees for the past three years. The faculty and staff are at the core of what we offer, and their dedication makes us one of the best Pre-K to Grade 8 schools in the country. Their commitment is backed by an incredible group of trustees, who are sincerely committed to LFCDS and its mission. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome my successor as Board President, David Keller, whose dedication and commitment to LFCDS are unparalleled. Our school would not be what it is today without the spirit of giving and volunteerism from you and the LFCDS community. Each role is valued and crucial to the success of our school. Thank you for your family’s support — it truly makes a difference. Best always,

Dr. Ahmed Farag President, Board of Trustees
