that helped to shape their childhood in important ways. Whether they are recent graduates or now have families of their own, Lamplighter alums’ stories of playing in the tunnel, kite-flying day, and the chickens resonate and draw us closer together.
Dear Lamplighter Community, New school year…new opportunities…new visions! As we plan for the future, it has been both fun and instructive to hear stories about the history of Lamplighter. Having the chance to listen and learn from alums who are still very connected with the school has provided great perspective. The year 2013 has been a year of celebrating 60 years since the founding of The Lamplighter School. Through the efforts of Aimee Whitaker, Melissa Niven, and the Carnival committee, our Jubilee was a most festive occasion. We had a rollicking good time. The reunions and gatherings for alums to reconnect have been such happy occasions. The message is consistent: Lamplighter remains the school that they remember best because of the faculty and programs

The Lamplighter experience is timeless and always relevant. The focus on engaging the youngest children in handson learning through play is as meaningful today as when the school began 60 years ago. Through the strategic planning process, we are designing improvements as school leadership has always done. As the thinking begins, what is first and foremost is maintaining the traditions of all that makes and keeps Lamplighter the special place that it is for children. Our school is rich in tradition while staying on top of all that is current in the field of education for the youngest learners. The roots of innovative programming in technology, science, math, and the arts for which Lamplighter is well known remain central.
As we create a vision for the future, we are considering ways to strengthen the endowment to protect the school in perpetuity. We are also investigating ways to improve our school building so that programs continue to stay in step with the very best 21st-century instruction. Lastly, we are considering an additional building so our students have specially designed spaces such as a “maker lab,” a place for tinkering, exploring, experimenting, and constructing. There has not been new construction in nearly 20 years. The last addition was Cook Gym in 1995. These are exciting times for Lamplighter, and I am honored to work with the Board of Trustees and lead the School during this period in its history.
Sincerely,
Joan Buchanan Hill, Ed. D. Head of School

CoverStory The annual Lamplighter Carnival came to town on October 4. This year’s event, the “Lamplighter Jubilee,” was a funfilled “royal” affair that celebrated the School’s 60 “illuminating” years. The event, which was attended by hundreds from the Lamplighter community, was also a culmination of the School’s shoe drive for Souls4Soles, an organization that collects shoes to give relief to victims of poverty around the world. Over the past two years, Lamplighter has donated more than 4,500 pairs of shoes to the non-profit group. Lamplighter Jubilee was the theme of the Carnival which was also a celebration of the School’s 60 years of “igniting young minds” whimsically based on the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. In
staff, students, and parents, it was clear that the importance of family is recognized and celebrated by our extraordinary school,” Hill added. She described an atmosphere that “didn’t just feel like a school carnival – or a Jubilee – it had the warmth of a longawaited family reunion.” Since its founding, the School’s motto has been, “A student is not a vessel to be filled, but a lamp to be lighted.” “This is still true today,” described Lamplighter Board Chair Alex Sharma. Classrooms and outdoor education areas are filled with hands-on exploration as faculty works with children to “deliver serious education wrapped in the wonder of childhood,” he explained.
Lamplighter Celebrates 60th Anniversary with Festive “Jubilee” Carnival addition to myriad Union Jack designs, jousting with toy swords, and other “olde” British influences, the Jubilee featured many good old-fashioned American Carnival basics including a Ferris wheel (for the first time), “Eurobungee,” face painting, and hamburgers. Head of School Dr. Joan Hill described “jubilee” as synonymous with celebration, and explained that the community has much to cheer and celebrate. “The School’s founders, Natalie Murray and Sandy Swain, often wrote about the enthusiasm that a community feels when everyone is working and playing together. Carnival is one of those special events that represents the very best of Lamplighter.” The theme of Jubilee was quite fitting as the School celebrated 60 years of educating young learners. “Seeing the interaction between faculty, 8

For decades, the Carnival has been characterized as a celebration of the School’s history and traditions and a “can’t-miss event” for families. But it’s also a “special time for alumni to catch up with each other and with former teachers,” explained Lamplighter’s parent-teacher association president Courtney Plumlee. Carnival-goers stepped right up and tested their skills on the midway with games such as “ring the bottle.” “From the Ferris wheel to the petting zoo to the music played by well-known Dallas DJ and parent/alum, Lucy Wrubel, it was indeed a day to remember,” said Carnival Co-Chair and parent, Aimee Whitaker. Students danced to the DJ’s favorite tunes while volunteers used face paint to transform children into farm animals and superheroes.

or the past year and a half, Lamplighter has been nurturing a relationship with the Dallas Arboretum. That’s one reason the School has been fortunate enough to hold its last two “Back to School” picnics there. But there is much more underway. In addition to having access to the incredible botanic gardens, the School is working with the new Arboretum Children’s Adventure Garden, collaborating on lesson plans, integrating curriculum, and of course, planning student field trips to benefit from the Garden’s focus on teaching life and earth sciences.

FacultyFocus In fact, the relationship Lamplighter has with the Arboretum’s new attraction goes deeper. A gift from Howard and Rory Meyers led to the naming of the Rory Meyers Children’s Garden and, in particular, the Meyers’ sons’ contribution to that gift. Craig and Kevin Meyers are graduates of Lamplighter, and their mother, Rory, was past president of the LPA. On a toasty afternoon in late September, faculty visited the Children’s Garden for a tour and experienced the stunning grounds first hand. Tour guide Maria Conroy, the Arboretum’s Vice President of Education and Research, said that when the idea for the children’s garden came up almost 17 years ago, organizers wanted it to meet a need in the community by helping to boost science test scores. “What we did was look at what the big science concepts were for each age group in life and earth science.” For instance, to teach kids ages 5 to 7 how plants live and grow, designers created oversize plant replicas, including a 16-foot-tall one that uses lights to show how water moves from the roots up to the flower. To teach different flower parts, they created a puzzle with oversize parts forming a three-dimensional flower. “The new Children’s Garden at the Arboretum showcases environmental science education for our youngest learners in a unique new way,” commented Lamplighter Head of School Joan Hill.

This Is Africa Mattingly Award winner Sarah Mathews volunteers in South Africa By Sarah Mathews, Lamplighter Pre-Kindergarten Teacher “And the winner for this year is….

Here is a page from the journal I kept… July 18, 2013 Like clockwork, Toby the donkey awakens us with his alarming bray. It is 7a.m., barely over 40˚F outside, and time to pull myself away from the warmth of the heat blanket in order to begin work for the day.

food for the 16 big cats (11 lions, 2 tigers, 2 cheetahs, and 1 leopard) and lone hyena that reside on the farm at Glen Afric. Upon arrival, we were warned never to grow overly attached to the horses, as their residence at the property is only temporary. However, their fate weighs on you as you attempt to provide comfort for them in their final days. Following stable duty, we break for breakfast. Knowing this is one of very few opportunities to contact the outside world while at the sanctuary, I grab my phone from my room and begin the hike up the rocky incline to the lodge. Breakfast takes place in the kitchen and consists of cereals and toast. The room is quiet as we eat, as most volunteers spend the whole hour on their phones using the wireless Internet and phone apps such as Viber and Whatsapp to communicate with family and friends back home. With full bellies and happy hearts, we head back down to our cabin to await our fate for the day. Will we eradicate milkweed plants with pick axes? Take the young lion, Sheba, for a walk? Detour off site to fetch grass? Les, the head ranger, arrives and instructs us to grab wheelbarrows and spades and follow her. We watch and wait as Cosmos and Bainet lure the large cats into their cages with meat. The tigers are the most willing to comply; the lions the least. Once the animals are secured, we begin our morning tasks of cleaning the cages (or camps). I offer to help pick up the feces while others set about

scavenging for bones. In one wheelbarrow, we collect all the bones that are scattered over the ground from feedings, and the other wheelbarrow becomes a collection of excrement. We spend the remainder of the morning cleaning camps and work up quite an appetite by lunchtime. Today I ordered my favorite, a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich with chips. Again, the room is quiet as the other volunteers and I simultaneously eat and check messages. At 2p.m. we resume our work for the day. Les comes by and instructs us all to jump in the back of the old white Land Cruiser. “Where are we going?” we all ask. “We’ll see,” she responded behind a smirk. We take a short drive to the owner’s house which is also on the property. It is an elegant stone house with beautiful landscaping. We walk through a door which takes us directly into the kitchen. Running around are two six-week-old white lion cubs. Girls squeal with delight as the guys look on in amazement. “Your job for the remainder of your time here” Les begins, “is to look after these lion cubs. They will need to eat three times a day. They drink from bottles and are beginning to eat meat.You need to play with them, love on them, and make sure their needs are being met.” I think to myself of my friends back home who would die with envy knowing that I have just been put in charge of caring for lion cubs.

Just Scratching the Surface Successful SCRATCH program extended to Early Childhood By Judith Mullens, Lamplighter Director of Early Childhood
Part of the genius of Lamplighter lies in the School’s building itself. Open spaces where teachers come together spontaneously as they make their paper copies or pick up classroom supplies quickly become a fertile plain for serious brainstorming, and out of that brainstorming comes new possibilities. This is how Lamplighter’s STEM afterschool activities have evolved. One small seed of an idea generated by Head of School Dr. Joan Hill grew into an
engaging discussion in the Lower School workroom among several teachers. A friend of Lamplighter, Marianna Verlage, majoring in Environmental Engineering at Harvard, happened to have an engineering professor begin her basic computer programming class with an introduction to SCRATCH. She offered to come to Lamplighter and meet with the School’s Technology Coordinator, Kate Ogden, and other teachers interested in SCRATCH. From that first introduction, teachers began tinkering with the newly created computer program and saw its possibilities grow. It took one very curious and energetic Lamplighter teacher, Ana Casanova, to say, “Yes!” to starting the first SCRATCH afterschool activity. Through her explorations, the program took root. After coming back from the National Science Teachers Association Conference, Ms. Casanova and science teacher Bill Burton added WeDo Robotics to the SCRATCH activity, which then became WeDo SCRATCH 2.0. The newly created EV3 Robotics, The Next Generation, was also added to the afterschool program taught by Mr. Burton using programming similar to SCRATCH. The STEM program continues to grow. Teachers Leslie Bledsoe and Becky Logsdon began a pre-SCRATCH activity using LEGO Simple Machine sets. Guiding students to follow the step-by-step LEGO instruction cards that look similar to SCRATCH programming, Ms. Bledsoe and Ms. Logsdon are preparing young students in kindergarten and first grade to take the next steps into computer programming. Their activity ends with a basic introduction to SCRATCH, creating a bridge to the WeDo SCRATCH 2.0 activity offered to students in second through fourth grades. The question now remains, how can we connect our students in pre-K to our STEM afterschool program? The future is full of possibilities. Maybe we will meet in one of Lamplighter’s open spaces and collaborate! LAMPPOST

TEXAS CHILI? OH MY! By Patricia Vermillion, Media Center Coordinator

The Three Little Pigs is one of my alltime favorite fairy tales. There are many retellings of this story: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf, just to name a few. I had an idea about writing a story for children using the facts and symbols of Texas. Applying The Three Little Pigs as the backdrop for my idea, I developed a similar version of this fairytale, adding a Texas twist. Researching information about our great state, I sprinkled Texas facts throughout the tale. After a year of rewriting and rewriting–AND rewriting! –I submitted Texas Chili? Oh My! to a Louisiana publishing company. They held on to the story for about three months and decided it did not meet their needs at that particular time. As a result, I received my first rejection letter…Ugh!

Lamplighter teacher Marty Melton and Patricia Vermillion, the School’s Media Center Coordinator, wrote an article that was published in the October 2013 issue of Teacher Librarian magazine. The educators decided to write the article entitled “Tips and Tactics: LibraryClassroom Collaboration Stimulates Reading, Teaches So Much More” because they find co-teaching during fourth grademedia center time to be “so effective and so much fun!” The article is an overview of a project they have done for several years. This year they modified it to include one new feature that involves student presentations of book talks “with the goal of inspiring other classmates to read new books,” explained Melton. The article features the details of the collaboration, including the addition of how students videotape each other and then assign each book talk video a QR code so parents and students throughout the Lamplighter community can view the book talk on iPads when they visit the School’s Media Center. According to the magazine’s publisher, Edward Kurdyla, Jr., “Because the article provides models and activities to be implemented, I think the way you structured the booktalks, although still rather simple appearing, is terrific and really teaches so many things on so many levels.” Read the article on Lamplighter’s Media Center web page.

Bully Pulpit
Parenting expert headlines new season of Parent Perks Parent Perks, Lamplighter’s parent education series, launched its third season in September with well-known author and expert in parenting, teaching, and bullying, Barbara Coloroso.
Best Foot Forward School community donates more than 4,500 shoes to Soles4Souls.
After a successful two-year partnership, the Lamplighter community has donated more than 4,500 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls, an organization that collects shoes to provide relief to victims of abject suffering and poverty. In September, students beamed with pride as they tossed their shoes into boxes filled with Nikes, Stride Rites—and even Mom’s stilettos—during a special Hootenanny shoe-drive “kick-off.” The group was greeted by fourth grader Peydinn Stockham and teacher Liz Curlin. The two discussed the many pairs of shoes they owned and how different their lives would be if they had only one pair. Curlin referenced the book Those Shoes and the difference between “need and want.” “What an incredible day for Peydinn,” said her mother, Kiersten Stockham. “This was something she will remember for the rest of her life!” Next Buddy Teaster, the CEO of Soles4Souls, addressed the group. He spoke about how Soles4Souls fights poverty around the world by distributing shoes both via direct donations to people in need and by “provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities.” Afterward, he answered fourth graders’ questions.

“The Lamplighter School is committed to Soles4Souls and its endeavor to deliver shoes to over 300 million children around the world,” said Head of School, Dr. Joan Hill. She expressed gratitude to the families who “generously donated to support this important project.”
Perks provides an opportunity for families to hear from educators, teachers, psychologists, and writers. Parent Catie Enrico, mother of second grade twins, said the series “puts my parenting skills on refresh as it provides nationally recognized speakers who are experts in parenting.” She feels Lamplighter families are lucky to have this resource as part of “our parenting curriculum.”
To reinforce the School’s commitment to the organization, Lamplighter teacher Debbie Herskowitz and Director of Operations Marynell Murphy traveled to Costa Rica last March where they spent a week distributing shoes to those in need. “This meaningful service project touched the lives of many at Lamplighter,” said Herskowitz who was able to participate in Soles4Souls “at a different level,” by traveling to Costa Rica. “The process of collecting, sorting, boxing, and shipping shoes to those in need was an interesting process and became real when we actually handed out the shoes to the children in Costa Rica,” she added. After their return, the School celebrated Earth Day in April with a “green” Hootenanny. Everyone congregated in the Auditorium, where they capped the School’s community service project by watching a Soles4Souls video. “Through the video, the students were able to see the children from Costa Rica who benefitted from the collection,” explained Hill.
Coloroso, who first visited Lamplighter in 2006, explained to faculty and parents that while some bigotry is rooted in ignorance, most is targeted bullying. “This is about being cruel and getting pleasure from someone else’s pain.” The School invited the former Franciscan nun to present themes from her bestselling books, including The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander and Parenting with Wit and Wisdom. She has appeared on Oprah, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and NPR and has been featured in the New York Times, Time, and Newsweek. The speaker was welcomed by the School’s counselor, Jill Weidman, who explained that we spend much time discussing a child’s social-emotional wellbeing. Assistant Head for Academics Vicki Raney said Lamplighter is committed to making the School a safe and caring environment for all students. “We treat each other with respect and refuse to tolerate bullying of any kind.

Graduate Admissions Lamplighter Holds First Alumni Panel Discussion
Last spring Lamplighter hosted the School’s first alumni panel discussion. More than 100 heard graduates discuss how their early childhood experiences influenced their future education and professional choices. Alumni President Kyle Ford introduced the eight alumni and facilitated. In addition to the five high school students, three other graduates traveled to Dallas to talk about their years at Lamplighter, including Steven Clark, M.D., Stephanie Sanford, Ph.D., and Marc Wallenstein, J.D. When asked what Lamplighter means to them, Wallenstein, who earned his law degree at Yale University and is currently employed with the U.S. Department of Defense, answered how teachers encouraged a “love of learning” and he had “joyful memories” about school. Sanford said Lamplighter gave her a “passion for learning” and the confidence to handle any situation. Clark, a graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta who is currently undertaking a plastic surgery fellowship at Tulane University in New Orleans, explained how Lamplighter encouraged free thinking and that “it’s OK to do things in a non-traditional way.” Later the young alumni, including two current Hockaday seniors, Katie Payne and Grace Gilker, ESD senior Katie Kerrigan (now a freshman at Wake Forest), current Greenhill senior Nick Kraus, and Cistercian junior Joe Durst, took the stage and answered questions posed by members of the audience and by Ford. When asked about the difference between fellow high school students and those who attended Lamplighter, Kraus described how the top four students in his class are all Lamplighter grads. Gilker agreed and said, “We are prepared academically. We take initiative. Lamplighter gives students the skills to be confident so you can do what you want to do.” Followed by applause, she continued, “Every day we did something incredible.”

Report of Annual Giving 2012 -2013
Report of Annual Giving 2012–2013 Your commitment and generosity allowed us to successfully complete the Campaign for the Future and take the Annual Fund and Auction to new levels. Dear Lamplighter Community, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Trustees, Life Trustees, parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, faculty and staff members, and friends who made 2012–2013 another extraordinary year at Lamplighter. In the pages ahead, you will see that your commitment and generosity allowed us to successfully complete the Campaign for the Future and take the Annual Fund and Auction to new levels. The 2012–2013 fiscal year began with a flurry of activity that continued into the summer as the final call for participation in the Campaign for the Future came with a 1:1 matching gift challenge by an anonymous donor. By the end of
26
June and six weeks into the challenge, the campaign surpassed its $12.5 million goal. Today, a beautiful donor wall honoring all contributors graces the front entrance of the school.

Other highlights of the year include: • Growth of the Annual Fund continues to be a priority of The Lamplighter School and this year, the Annual Fund scaled new heights with annual gifts exceeding $510,000. Parent participation set a record at 95% with all Pre-K classes, faculty and staff, Trustees, and the Annual Fund Committee achieving 100% participation.
• The Strategic Plan, presented to the Board last September by the Strategic Initiatives Committee, was approved.

FOREVER LEARNERS
Why do some children succeed while others fail? Join us January 27 for PAUL TOUGH AUTHOR OF “HOW CHILDREN SUCCEED”
The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control.
