HEADLINES

We are excited about all that lies ahead and stand ready to meet 2020 with optimism and a steely determination to continue to provide the youngest learners with new opportunities to explore and discover.

Dear Members of the Lamplighter Community, Can you believe that we are just a few weeks away from 2020? Yes, it has been almost twenty years since Y2K when newscasters encouraged everyone to stock up on bottled water and batteries as we ushered in the new millennium. A lot has changed in the world and at Lamplighter over the years but the most important aspects of our School continue to endure and allow Lamplighter to thrive.

Anyone who visits the campus for even a few minutes is able to observe a talented faculty and staff. Prospective families marvel at the way that teachers are able to personalize the learning experience for each student. Comments are often made about the curiosity of our students and their genuine interest in the world.

In conversations with alumni about their experience as students, the common thread is the faculty and staff. Alumni recall with incredible fondness the teacher who helped them to untangle a difficult subject or strive to improve in one area or another.

The relationship between teachers and alumni is authentic and is the glue that holds our community close.

In his book, Big Potential, author and researcher Shawn Achor titles one chapter “Leading From Every Seat.” Achor states, “If we want Big Potential, we must inspire and enable others to lead from every seat.” Every member of the community is counted on to participate.

As we move closer toward the new year, we are proud of the history of our School and the impact that is made each day. There is respect for the long line of teachers, staff, and trustees who laid the groundwork for the school we have today.

Throughout this issue of LampPost, you will see images of butterflies. The butterfly represents the pollination of new ideas through creativity, problem solving, and risk taking. Also, it describes The Lamplighter Effect which is the influence of our school culture on each person.

The Lamplighter Effect also represents the commitment that we all have to continual learning and professional development.

The explosion of new knowledge is breathtaking and is occurring at a rapid rate. Lamplighter teachers and staff step up to the challenge of staying current because we understand the impact of our mission as we educate our students for the future. In the pages of this LampPost you will read about the multiple ways that professional development informs instruction and allows the school to reach new heights. We are excited about all that lies ahead and stand ready to meet 2020 with optimism and a steely determination to continue to provide the youngest learners with new opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Sincerely,

Joan Buchanan Hill, Ed.D. Catherine M. Rose Head of School

The Lamplighter Effect Make an impact today and tomorrow!

One year ago, The Lamplighter School reached its 65th anniversary. With this achievement, the School celebrated a rich history of program development, campus enhancements, and established traditions. Many key milestones were made possible through the years by the pioneering vision of Lamplighter founders Natalie Murray and Marieta “Sandy” Swain, as well as the continued support of countless leaders including faculty, staff, parents, Trustees, students, alumni, and alumni parents, who believed in the mission of the School and its potential. Through visionary ideas and dedicated follow through, Lamplighter has created an environment that engages children in the joy of learning through intellectual discovery in a creative, inclusive, and collaborative environment.

This year marks the 50th year of the School’s Inwood Road campus. We celebrate the many aspects of our program and community happening throughout Lamplighter which impact students today and in the future.

The butterfly effect is widely known as the idea that a small change can make bigger changes happen. At our School, we recognize this concept as The Lamplighter Effect, in which small changes are happening every day, making an impact not only in the present, but for many generations to come.

long-running Dolores Evans Speaker series, a program that campus for the benefit of area parents and educators. For the first time in its 18-year history, the series welcomed a Lamplighter parent as the featured presenter.

Established in 2001, the Dolores Evans Speaker Series is

a unique educational program that Lamplighter offers to

its parents, faculty, and staff, as well as the broader Dallas

community. This year’s event took place on November 11, an unseasonably chilly evening, which still drew more than 400 guests who braved the cold to take part in this opportunity to learn and connect with the community.

Dr. Joan Buchanan Hill, Catherine M. Rose Head of School, kicked off the event by introducing honorary guest,

Dolores Evans, whose 34-year service to Lamplighter led

to the establishment of the named speaker series upon her retirement from the School. Next, Dr. Hill introduced the

evening’s featured speaker, Shawn Achor. Achor’s expertise in happiness research, along with his vast experience and

accomplishments, made him the perfect speaker for this year.

Achor began his presentation by sharing that his “research about happiness validates what his family has started to

experience with his son at Lamplighter,” since joining the

School’s community this year. This research emphasizes the significance of community and connectedness as it relates to an individual’s happiness.

Achor’s presentation touched on highlights from his TED Talk,

process the world, we co-process the world,” adding that we have so much more happiness potential when we bring others into our own pursuit of happiness.

Achor went on to share research discovered in the course of writing his most recent book, Big Potential. His latest research findings

expand upon the idea of happiness, recognizing that “happiness

cannot be a self-help idea,” underscoring the importance of including others in our ability to face and overcome challenges. His research

is supported by a study at Google, known as Project Aristotle, which found that social cohesion was the only predictor of the success

of a team. Individual strengths or traits of team members are not

predictive of a team’s success; however, a team’s potential is driven by how well the team members work cohesively as a unit.

The presentation concluded with advice for the audience about how

small changes in our lives can have a significant impact on our levels of happiness. Achor reinforced the concept of practicing gratitude, sharing ways that we can each take part in building and spreading

happiness within our community. He suggested beginning each day with a two-minute positive email or text to a friend or colleague

praising or thanking them. If we follow this routine for 21 consecutive days, our social connection score will rise to the top 20% of people worldwide. Ultimately, social connection is the greatest predictor of long-term levels of happiness. Following the event, one

GREEN TEAM & LPA PARTNERSHIP

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Each May, the Lamplighter community participates in a gently used book drive to support students and families in need.

The annual book drive is held in conjunction with the Erik Jonsson Media Center Book Fair, which provides Lamplighter families the opportunity to shop for summer reading materials right on the School’s campus. This past spring, this traditional community event launched as a partnership between the Lamplighter Green Team and the Community Outreach Committee of the Lamplighter Parents’ Association (LPA) to better serve organizations in need and build upon Lamplighter’s commitment to green practices.

green practices as part of the Lamplighter Green Team’s mission. Early this fall, Lamplighter launched a communitywide Halloween costume drive to support Family Gateway, a nonprofit organization providing support services to families affected by homelessness. The inaugural costume drive yielded 426 costumes for homeless children as they prepared to celebrate Halloween. Lamplighter Seniors contributed to the effort by sorting and categorizing costumes in preparation for delivery to Family Gateway.

The LPA Community Outreach Committee organizes and executes several community outreach projects throughout the year, connecting the Lamplighter community with the needs of the local Dallas community. By joining forces with the Green Team, the LPA has been able to develop new ways to support schools and nonprofits locally and out-of-state. As a result of the partnership between the two organizations, the Lamplighter community donated 1,478 books (862 paperbacks and 616 hardcover/board books) to two local organizations – Genesis Women’s Shelter and Denton County Friends of the Family – as well as Big Pine Academy, an elementary school in Florida rebuilding after significant damage caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017.

The newly formed partnership of the Lamplighter Green Team and the LPA Community Outreach Committee continued into the current school year with new initiatives that promote the mission and goals of each organization. The LPA Community Outreach Committee, led by Lamplighter parent and alumna Liz Cullum Helfrich ’90 and Lamplighter parent Natalie Johnson, continued efforts to support nonprofits while reinforcing 12

for Family Gateway

The Halloween costume drive is a new initiative this year which builds upon an ongoing relationship between Lamplighter and Family Gateway. Each year, Lamplighter third and fourth grade students prepare meals and snack bags for children supported by Family Gateway. To enhance the learning opportunity, a representative from Family Gateway visits the Lamplighter campus in advance to share information about the shelter and the services that it provides for local families affected by homelessness. This year’s Halloween costume drive offered a new way for the Lamplighter community to support families served by the organization through a program that is relatable for Lamplighter’s youngest learners in Pre-K through fourth grade. Dr. Joan Buchanan Hill, Catherine M. Rose Head of School, noted, “Our School Halloween costume drive demonstrated support for Family Gateway in a major way. We were pleased to announce the collection of 426 costumes that were delivered just in time for children of all ages to be dressed and ready for a Halloween filled with festivities.”

Once all donated costumes were collected, Lamplighter fourth grade students worked together to sort and categorize the items to facilitate distribution at Family Gateway. The Senior class enjoyed collaborating in small groups and providing

hands-on support for this project. One student remarked, “when I was younger I loved Frozen, but now that I’m older, I want to share my Elsa and Anna costumes with children who don’t have anything to wear on Halloween.”

The partnership between the Lamplighter Green Team and the LPA Community Outreach Committee continues throughout the 2019-2020 school year with more initiatives planned to support nonprofit organizations. During November, these organizations sponsored a drive for Project Warm Us, a local nonprofit that supports the homeless and shelterless during the colder months, by collecting coats, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and blankets. Upcoming drives during the second semester include a canned food drive in May, a cereal drive in conjunction with Muffins with Moms, as well as the annual book drive in May.

MATTINGLY FUND FOR EXCELLENCE Each year, Lamplighter faculty and staff members are invited to apply for the Mattingly Fund for Excellence in Education. Interested applicants submit proposals of experiences that allow them to grow personally and professionally.

The proposals are reviewed and selected by a committee, which includes former recipients of the Mattingly Fund, as well as faculty and staff representatives from all divisions. The Mattingly Fund was established in 2000 and honors former Lamplighter Head of School, Pat Mattingly, an advocate for lifelong learning.

The 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 recipients of the Mattingly Fund, Fourth Grade Math Teacher Jo Davenport and Music Teacher Natalie Bittner pursued their experiences of lifelong learning during the summer 2019. See how these experiences made an impact on their quest for personal and professional growth.

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.”

– Marcus Garvey

AFRICAN ADVENTURE

by Jo Davenport, Fourth Grade Teacher

In school, history was always one of my least favorite subjects; I never saw the value of reading textbooks that told jaded stories from the winner’s perspective. It wasn’t until 2012, when PBS aired the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr., that I found a love for history. I realized that history wasn’t just wars, rulers, and politics. History could be much more personal; it could be individual, and that made me very excited. It was then that I noticed an intrinsic yearning to find my family, my people, my heritage, my culture.

Marcus Garvey once said, “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.” I had always felt like that tree.

Thanks to Pat Mattingly and the Mattingly Fund for Excellence in Education, I was able to trace both of my grandmothers’ lineages back to African tribes through a company called African Ancestry. I also found out that my paternal grandfather’s lineage traces back to Spain and Portugal. I was astonished to find out that I am one-quarter European. The Mattingly Fund also afforded me the opportunity to travel to Africa this summer. For a month, between June and July, I traveled the east coast of Africa, visiting five countries: Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. I traveled alone, stopping in Switzerland before meeting up with my tour group in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

My tour was adventurous and totally outside of my comfort zone. It was my first time traveling alone internationally and my first time being away from my family for a month. Also, I signed up for camping accommodations which was truly eye-opening for someone who had never pitched a tent before.

This summer, I learned so much about different cultures and met so many wonderful people. And although none of them were blood relatives, I felt very connected to them, to the land, to the traditions, and to the culture. This experience taught me that although we are all very different beings, at the core we are all the same, and kindness and love are universal languages. That is a skill I try to share the importance of with my students every day. I am so thankful to Pat Mattingly and the committee for making all of this possible.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to work at a school that encourages personal growth in its teachers and staff.

In summary, my trip to Africa was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences I have ever had. As film director James A. Williams once said about his travels to Africa, “You love the African part of yourself, but you are so thankful that you are American.”

SIMPLE PEACE

by Natalie Bittner, Music Teacher

A quote by St. Francis of Assisi states, “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” These were the words that I wrote on my application for the Mattingly Fund for Excellence in Education. These words later traveled with me to Assisi, Italy, when I attended the Simple Peace Meditation and Yoga Retreat.

I chose to attend this retreat for the reason many of us would if we had the opportunity: I wanted to learn how to better calm my mind and body in this chaotic world we live in. I chose this special place because of the name, Simple Peace. I wasn’t looking for a meditation retreat that was posh or exciting, but rather a place where I’d be taken back into simplicity, and boy, did I find it.

This was a five-day retreat consisting of 15 people from 10 different countries. Each one was there for their own different reason, but we all came with a common goal: to help us start on the path of inner peace.

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” – St. Francis of Assisi

At this retreat, we meditated for eight hours a day. These meditation sessions took place in different locations, as we followed the life of St. Francis, a friar from the 1100s. From his birthplace to the location where he is buried, every meditation place was surreal. I never knew I could fall in love with silence, but even more, I didn’t realize that this tiny, simple town would lead me to the peace I was yearning for. I meditated in the barn where St. Francis was born, in open fields, in churches, and even in the caves that St. Francis built with his brothers on Mount Subasio. Every place was simple and humble, yet powerful and profound. As a result, I experienced a greater sense of calm, healing, and peace everywhere I went. A peace that is indescribable.

I am so grateful for this experience that was gifted to me. I not only came back with the tools to use for my meditation practices on a daily basis, but I also came back with memories that will last me a lifetime. Thank you, Pat Mattingly, for this priceless gift. I am so fortunate to have been chosen for this award. I went to Assisi to start what was necessary, in order to do what was possible, and am now seeing myself do the impossible. My life has been forever changed.

BILL WETSEL SUPER FUNDRAISER Accounting Specialist Bill Wetsel joined the Business Office of The Lamplighter School in 2017 after spending more than eight years working at nonprofit organizations including Big Thought and SPCA of Texas. Yet his dedication to nonprofits extends well beyond the workplace. For the past 14 years, Wetsel has been active with Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure events throughout the country.

Since 2006, he has completed 16 events as a walker, three events as a crew member, and most recently, one event as a youth mentor.

LAMPPOST

Susan G. Komen 3-Day events are organized walks of 60 miles over three days, raising funds to help end breast cancer. Walkers are required to raise a minimum of $2,300 each, representing a challenge, but not a challenge as hard as breast cancer. Since 2003, Komen 3-Day events have involved more than 500,000 participants and raised more than $848 million to fight breast cancer.

Wetsel’s involvement in this cause began in 2006 when a group of his then co-workers at a home-building company recruited him to join their Komen 3-Day team, Grand Beginnings. He accepted the challenge, raised $2,760.50 for breast cancer support programs and research, and participated in the Dallas Komen 3-Day event. For the next nine years, Wetsel continued his involvement in the organization and completed nine more events in cities including Cleveland, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Dallas.

Training for a 60-mile walk over three days is significant and usually begins six months in advance. Wetsel is dedicated to following the Komen training calendar, which helps participants strengthen their legs for the physical challenge and condition their feet to avoid blisters. The training schedule calls for three-mile walks twice during weekdays, plus extended walks on the weekends, building up to 18 miles as the event date approaches. Wetsel notes that the most challenging training involves the “18-15” which is an 18-mile walk on a Saturday followed by a 15-mile walk on a Sunday. With the camaraderie of his local team members, the training regimen becomes much more encouraging and enjoyable.

In order to meet the fundraising requirement for each 3-Day event, Wetsel has taken part in a variety of efforts through the years including bake sales, car washes, and garage sales. Other fundraising efforts have involved partnerships with local restaurants, selling t-shirts and beads at events, sending out solicitation letters, and seeking matching funds from businesses. In order to generate enthusiasm for a restaurant partnership, Wetsel recalls dressing up in pink and hanging out at Norma’s Café, a Dallas institution for Texas home cooking, which donated 10% of their sales to his Komen 3-Day team.

In 2013, after many years of participation in the Komen 3-Day events, Wetsel and his Austin-based daughter formed their own team, Pink Phoenix. The significance of the team name came from the idea that “when you learn you have breast cancer, you just crater, but you eventually rise up out of the flames and soar like the Phoenix.”

Then, in 2016, Wetsel achieved another key milestone by surpassing the $20,000 fundraising mark, becoming a Komen Super Fundraiser. By earning this classification, Komen now covers his travel expenses for out of town events. This achievement enabled Wetsel to take part in Komen 3-Day events twice in San Diego and once in Boston. In 2018, Wetsel was recruited to join another team, Angels for the Cure. That same year, he was part of yet another major milestone when the team surpassed the $1 million mark and earned a place on the Komen Wall of Fame for fundraising.

“We are all there for one cause and one cause only . . . to kick breast cancer to the curb!”

This fall, Wetsel expanded his involvement in this extraordinary event by serving as part of the Youth Corps.

In this role, he served as one of four leaders to a team of 16 kids, ages 10-16, who participated in the Dallas 3-Day event from November 1-3. This honorary position involved interviewing and selecting youth for this team, advising them on fundraising efforts, and coaching them through the physical challenge of the 60-mile walk.

Although Wetsel’s journey with the Komen 3-Day events did not begin, as many do, with the diagnosis or death of a close family member, his ongoing participation throughout the past 14 years has remained strong and steadfast. He refers to team members and friends that he’s met over the years as his “Pink Family,” noting that he may only see them one or two times a year, but they remain the best of friends.

“We don’t care about skin color, race, gender, or political affiliation . . . we are all there for one cause and one cause only . . . to kick breast cancer to the curb!”

Academic Technology Coordinator Katie Ruggeri Nelson ’94 has represented Lamplighter at numerous national

conferences over the past five years, serving as a presenter on the topic of Coding with Pre-Readers. Nelson developed a coding program that has been successful in teaching the basics of coding to our School’s youngest learners. This

summer, she represented Lamplighter yet again at the 2019 Elementary Technology Conference in Galveston, Texas.

Her presentation shares ways that teachers can integrate

technology into the classroom and effectively enhance math, storytelling, and literacy development while encouraging younger students to develop problem-solving skills.

Jessica Varela, First Grade Teacher, also served as a presenter at the 2019 Elementary Technology Conference in Galveston.

Varela presented on the topic of Makerspace and Design

Thinking in the Primary Classroom, guiding educators through several approaches that introduce children to “making” in tangible and successful ways. Varela is passionate about

maker-based education and design thinking, where students guide their own learning experiences. Varela has previously served as a conference presenter for the Association of

Technology Leaders in Independent Schools (ATLIS) and the

Lausanne Learning Institute (LLI) on Lamplighter’s tinkering curriculum and the value of school partnerships in creating

new classroom experiences and project-based learning units for students.

FACULTY REPRESENT LAMPLIGHTER AT LITERACY INSTITUTES

Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, Columbia University This past summer, Lamplighter sent four faculty members to New York City to attend five-day literacy institutes at Teachers College at Columbia University. This world-renowned program, founded by Lucy Calkins, has supported literacy training for more than 170,000 teachers in its 30-plus year history. The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP) reviews and accepts applications for summer and winter institutes to offer teachers the unique opportunity to learn directly from Lucy Calkins and her team of educators. Lamplighter continued its ongoing presence at these signature programs by sending three Kindergarten teachers and one second grade teacher to institutes during summer 2019. Lamplighter congratulates these faculty members on their acceptances to TCRWP institutes and welcomes new energy and enthusiasm for literacy applications and ideas in the classrooms.

Attending the TCRWP Phonics Conference was very enlightening and motivating. I specifically loved collaborating with other teachers around the world about their ideas of implementing the Lucy Calkins Phonics Program into our established literacy curriculums. I feel so grateful to be part of a community that supports and encourages faculty and staff to further develop our skills and techniques.

Natalie Chavez Kindergarten Teacher

I had the opportunity to attend a TCRWP Phonics Institute in May, as well as an online course later in the summer. I learned directly from the educators who created the Lucy Calkins Phonics Program that we are implementing at Lamplighter. I received valuable information and resources I was able to bring back and share with fellow Lamplighter teachers. Professors shared research that taught me more about how to best support the readers in my classroom.

These institutes have been the most informative, challenging, and rewarding professional development opportunities.

I know that when I participate in a Columbia University TCRWP program, I will learn a great deal, and it will directly impact my teaching.

Over the summer, all seven members of The Lamplighter School leadership team attended the School Leadership Institute hosted by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). The four-day institute took place in Potomac, Maryland, and offered current and aspiring school leaders an in-depth residential program focused on cultivating an individualized professional development strategy based on personal strengths and areas for improvement. Prior to the institute, participants completed a personal leadership assessment to come prepared with knowledge which could be applied to case studies and small group discussions, with the end goal of creating a plan of action for taking key learnings back to our School. Members of the Leadership Team came away inspired with new ideas and a greater awareness of how to solve complex problems through improved communication.

Lamplighter’s leadership team extended this learning opportunity to all members of the faculty and staff during back-to-school week in August. All Lamplighter employees participated in a communications self-assessment exercise to identify personal communication styles. Employees shared results with their departments to help raise awareness of individual styles, which sparked discussions about how team members can best work together. The collaborative session offered ways to engage in strategic conversations which helped raise awareness about ways team members can optimize results in their departments and in teaching and learning.

YOUNG ALUMNI INSPIRE SENIORS Young Alumni Panelists Reflect on their Lamplighter Experience at Senior Luncheon

On Friday, September 20, the Class of 2020, together with their parents and teachers, gathered for the annual Senior Luncheon on campus. This Lamplighter tradition is an opportunity for attendees to celebrate students’ achievements and reflect on special memories of their time at the School thus far. During the event, students receive a Senior Pin as a symbol of their Lamplighter journey and the exciting experiences yet to come, as they prepare to join the Alumni Association upon graduation in May. This year’s Senior Luncheon kicked off with a musical presentation by the Class of 2020, including two songs: Stand in the Light and Lamplighter Spirit. Following the Senior songs, Dr. Joan Buchanan Hill, Catherine M. Rose Head of School, welcomed all guests and recognized faculty and staff, as well as three representatives from the 2019-2020 Alumni Council in attendance: T.J. Frank ’93, Jane Rozelle Humphrey ’95, Kathryn Nelson ’93, and Braden Wayne ’95. The Senior Pin Ceremony followed as each member of the Class of 2020 was formally pinned by a parent or special guest.

The Senior Luncheon culminated with a panel discussion with seven Lamplighter alumni as a preview and inspiration for Seniors and their parents of life after Lamplighter. The young alumni panel, moderated by Clayton Hollingsworth, Chief Advancement Officer included the following middle and high school students: Julian Balestri ’17, seventh grader at Greenhill School Bella Ehring ’15, freshman at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Dilan Koganti ’18, sixth grader at St. Mark’s School of Texas Parker Owen ’13, junior at Highland Park High School Cameron Peters ’12, senior at John Paul II High School Julia Small ’16, eighth grader at The Hockaday School Samantha Ward ’15, freshman at Parish Episcopal School

The oldest panelists, Parker and Cameron, now a junior and a senior in high school, respectively, talked about how Lamplighter prepared them for their high school experience.

Parker cited the strong organizational skills learned during his Lamplighter years, while Cameron noted that the School provided him with “a solid foundation, not just in school, but in all aspects of his life.”

Middle school panelists Dilan and Julian talked about the aspects they miss most about Lamplighter. Julian commented that he misses fun elements like recess, lunch, and Pizza Friday, but also the everyday mindset of coming to school eager to learn new things. Similarly, Dilan recalled that he “was always excited to go to school each day at Lamplighter,” noting that although he is happy in his middle school, he truly misses the feeling of “waking up each morning wanting to go to school” that he experienced as a Lamplighter student.

Bella and Samantha also shared their thoughts about how they would describe Lamplighter to someone not familiar with the School. Bella referenced the openness of the classrooms and the unique design features like the wells. Samantha talked about the teachers noting that they “not only care about your academic success, but also about you.”

The panel discussion closed with a question unique to Julia Small ’16, a second-generation Lamplighter alumna.

Julia’s mother, Nicole Ginsburg Small ’83, also graduated from Lamplighter, and her father, Justin Small ’83 is a former student. Panel moderator Clayton Hollingsworth, asked Julia to think about Lamplighter 40 years into the future and imagine what she might change about the School. Julia joked saying, “Lamplighter should add a middle school and high school, so students could stay longer!” Yet, understanding Lamplighter’s unique focus on early childhood and elementary education, Julia said in all seriousness, “Lamplighter should stay exactly the way it is. My experience was so amazing, and I wouldn’t change a thing!”

Each panelist was asked to describe Lamplighter in one word and to share a special memory of their time at the School.

The panelists fondly recalled their Lamplighter experiences and used words such as “spectacular,” “unique,” “memorable,” “amazing,” and “incomparable” to describe the School. Their special memories ranged from signature programs such as Lamplighter Layers and FLASH news broadcast to favorite traditions like the Senior Jacket Ceremony at Carnival, All School Program, bringing baby chicks to the coop, and to everyday encounters like being greeted with a hug in the carpool line by Ms. McCullough.

LAMPLIGHTER CELEBRATES CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD This year’s Lamplighter Parents’ Association Cultural

Awareness Co-Chairs, Lisa Alexander and Susmita Chavala, together with a committee of volunteers, has partnered

with the School to host events and special experiences for

our students. Parent and student volunteers share cultural traditions and assist teachers with classroom activities highlighting customs around the world. The 2019-2020

school year kicked off with two cultural celebrations on

campus celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and Diwali.

Hispanic Heritage Month

BALLET OLLIMPAXQUI

National Hispanic Heritage Month, which pays tribute to generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society, took place from September 15 through October 15. Lamplighter commemorated this cultural event with a special assembly, presented by the Ollimpaxqui Ballet Company, for all students on September 25. This magnificent troupe of dancers, singers, and musicians showcased the traditional and folkloric music and dances of Mexico, Peru, and Colombia.

Members of the Ollimpaxqui Ballet Company are from Mexico City and perform a variety of dances from countries throughout Latin America. The word “Ollimpaxqui” translates to “Joy for Movement” in the language of the Aztecs. Lamplighter students in Pre-K through fourth grade participated in the interactive assembly, taking part in several dances led by the special guests. The “Manos” dance from Peru and the cumbia, accompanied by music titled “La Pollera Coloral” (meaning “Colorful Chicken”) were among the favorites!

DIWALI

Parent and Student Volunteers Lead Celebration Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, is celebrated throughout the world each year in late October or early November.

This year, Lamplighter students took part in a schoolwide celebration of Diwali on October 28. Both parent and student volunteers hosted assemblies for Lower School and classroom demonstrations for Early Childhood students. The educational assemblies explained the meaning behind Diwali, the traditions often shared with this celebration, like the symbolic cleaning of the house, as well as the celebratory elements including fireworks and lots of good food!

Three Lamplighter Seniors helped share the traditions of Diwali by leading dance demonstrations in Cook Gym. Their beautiful costumes, festive music, and cultural dances engaged fellow classmates in the festive celebration of Diwali.

What does a rocket scientist look like?

IF/THEN

IF/THEN® Ambassadors Inspiring STEM Careers

Through the years, Lamplighter students have been the lucky participants in a variety of inspiring on-campus assemblies.

Most recently, students in third and fourth grade gathered for a special assembly with three young adult leaders with accomplished careers in STEM fields. Their visit to our School builds upon Lamplighter’s ongoing commitment to exposing its students to thought leaders who can help them discover their passions and pursue paths of lifelong learning.

On October 23, three leaders, who serve as ambassadors of Lyda Hill’s IF/THEN Initiative, visited Lamplighter to share their careers in STEM fields with students. The IF/THEN Initiative is designed to inspire the next generation of innovators to a variety of careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. The special guests included a rocket scientist, an architect who is also an artist and a professional hockey player, and a marine biologist. Each guest shared her story about her chosen career, why each selected her field of study, and how young students can similarly follow their passions.

Sydney Hamilton, a rocket scientist with The Boeing Company, began her presentation by asking the audience, “What does a rocket scientist look like?” The answer: “A rocket scientist looks like me . . . and you!” She noted that everyone can become a rocket scientist if it’s where your heart is. Hamilton discussed her early interest in the field of rocket science by recalling, “When I was your age, I would try to fly.” She shared her studies and pursuits to prepare for becoming a rocket scientist, and also asked the students about possible careers that they might pursue in fields of STEM. Students enthusiastically cited an array of ideas including engineer, mathematician, astronaut, meteorologist, astronomer, and a rocket designer.

Next up was Kimberly Sass, an architectural designer who is also an artist and a goalie for a professional hockey team.

Sass talked about her favorite subjects in elementary school including math, art, science, and gym and how these classes inspired her pursuits of both art and science in college, while playing Division I ice hockey for Colgate University.

She continued both art and hockey while earning a Master of Architecture degree, and later joined an architecture firm, advising, “You don’t always have to fit your career into one box.”

Sass further emphasized the importance of getting involved in team-driven activities like sports, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the arts. She concluded her presentation with words of advice from one of her college professors: “Live the life you love.”

The final presenter during the assembly was Jessica Cramp, a marine biologist and founder and Executive Director of Sharks Pacific, an organization based in the Cook Islands dedicated to researching and protecting sharks. Cramp began her presentation by sharing geographic details about the Cook Islands and the marine life that inspired her to pursue her passion. She shared video footage of her team of scientists studying sharks in their environment, including the process used for recording – Kimberly Sass data. She further discussed her research process including tagging, measuring, and taking skin samples of sharks to study their DNA. Cramp emphasized to students that participating in animal research is easy: “You can just drop a camera in a tree and observe the birds or insects.”

“You don’t always have to fit your career in one box.”

Following formal presentations, the three guests shared more of their time with Lamplighter students by visiting classrooms and joining discussions in the wells. Each of the presenters took the time to answer a wide variety of questions from students, helping them to further understand their careers, and passions and share words of advice. The Lamplighter School is grateful to Lyda Hill and Nicole Ginsburg Small ’83 for bringing these inspirational leaders to our campus.

“A rocket scientist looks like me . . . and you!”

For most parents at Lamplighter, their journey with the School began with a campus tour, led by PALS tour guides during an Admission event. PALS, or Parent Ambassadors of Lamplighter School, share their knowledge and show prospective families around campus during Admission events. Parent volunteers who have been at the School for at least one year are eligible to participate. PALS support Admission Coffees, the Admission Preview, and assist with other on-campus events. Prospective parents consistently share with the Office of Admission & Placement that they like Lamplighter’s campus tour format because PALS guides are approachable. Prospective parents often share that Lamplighter PALS are well-informed about the academic curriculum, school traditions, and the parent community.

SPOTLIGHT ON PALS

FALL | 2019

The PALS program at Lamplighter began in 1988 when then Head of School Pat Mattingly, extended a call for applications for parents to serve as “hosts/hostesses during tours of the School, at special events, and other occasions when parent perspective and support would prove useful in communicating or carrying out the School’s goals.”

Interested parents were asked to volunteer for a few hours, once a month, usually on Friday mornings. Nine parent volunteers were selected to serve on the inaugural PALS committee, chaired by Carol Denton, parent of Lamplighter alumni Bradford Denton ’91 and Merritt Denton Russ ’93. The program officially kicked off during the 1988-1989 school year as PALS, originally known as Parents at Lamplighter School. In the inaugural year, PALS also sponsored and coordinated the “Children Helping Children” program through which Lamplighter students donated toys to the Dallas Family Shelter, Children’s Medical Center, and Dallas Police Department’s program for children in need.

After a successful first year, the PALS program continued in 1989-1990, expanding to 12 members. The team continued to serve by leading campus tours, organizing drives for food, clothing, books, and toys, and hosting special events such as the Fine Arts Festivals for first, second, and third grades. Over time, the PALS program developed and more parent volunteers joined the committee, helping to support the growing number of Admission events on campus. Today, the program represents the team’s vast knowledge of our School and their dedication to sharing the mission of Lamplighter with prospective families.

Lamplighter salutes our extraordinary PALS guides who have volunteered their time throughout the years to help prospective families learn more about our beloved School.

A special thank you to the nine-member original PALS team, as well as the 24 volunteers currently serving during the 2019-2020 school year.

BARNYARDBUZZ

Joining PALS my first year as a Lamplighter parent turned out to be one of the most meaningful volunteer experiences for me.

It provided the opportunity to learn more about the School, meet other parents from across the grades, and share my Lamplighterlove with interested families. As a PALS volunteer, I hope I have been able to provide a window into life at the School and share some Lamplighter spirit with prospective families.

2018 LAMPLIGHTER ALUMNI GIRL SCOUT TROOP 6475 EARNS BRONZE AWARD

In May, members of Troop #6475, composed of nine Lamplighter alumni and led by Liz Cullum Helfrich ’90 and Denise Stewart, were awarded the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve: The Bronze Award.

The Scouts researched and discussed various projects that would be an asset to the community. They ultimately chose to develop a Free Little Library to be located at Bachman Lake Together. Bachman Lake Together’s goal is to unite the community while giving Bachman Lake children a strong foundation for the first five years so they can thrive in school and life. Currently more than one half of the neighborhood children are not Kindergarten-ready.

The troop held a successful book drive requesting books in Spanish and English from both businesses and individuals.

They then developed a color-coded system to assist parents in selecting books that are age-appropriate for their children.

To help make the little library easy to use for parents, a book selection guide explaining the color codes in English and Spanish was created. Once the girls had a large inventory of books, they labeled the books at each monthly meeting. The books were then delivered to Bachman Lake Together by the Scouts over several months. The Scouts would bring along seasonal props and decorations to help display the books on bookshelves to attract “customers.”

Lamplighter alumni and troop member Allie Gerber ’18 shared her thoughts about working on the Free Little Library project.

“While I was working on this project, I could practically see the smiles on the kids’ faces. ‘I cannot live without books.’ a very wise man named Thomas Jefferson once said. Most people would agree; at least I do. But these kids don’t have access to books. I know I didn’t stop hunger or create world peace, but for me, when I was sorting the books we’ve collected, seeing the smiles on their faces was enough.”

IMPACT REPORT 2018-2019 2018-2019 BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Dear Lamplighter Community Members, The author, Robert Louis Stevenson, once said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” And, like the ripple effect caused by a stone skipping across a pond, the generous gifts made by parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty and staff, foundations, corporations, and many more, have a profound impact on our students this year and for many years to come.

In this, my second year at The Lamplighter School, I continue to be amazed by this community’s culture of philanthropy. Philanthropy, in its purest form, is an invitation to join in the mission of our School. As you see in this edition of the LampPost, the mission of Lamplighter has never been more alive.

As our students grow and branch out into the world, the values, confidence, and creativity developed in them by the Lamplighter experience will make an impact on an even much larger scale. As mentioned in previous pages of this magazine, we refer to this as The Lamplighter Effect.

Philanthropy at Lamplighter helps inspire each student to explore, discover, take risks, and make choices in their daily lives. These gifts, along with incredible gifts of time by countless volunteers, make the most powerful impact possible on our students.

As Martin Luther King, Jr. shared, “Life’s persistent and most urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’” I am proud to be a part of a community that does so much for so many.

In Lamplighter Spirit,

Clayton Hollingsworth Chief Advancement Officer
