Letter from the Head of School

BEN JACKSON P’21, P’22, P’26

The 2022–2023 school year is off to a great start. Throughout the last two years, the community has only grown stronger, students are fully engaged in classes and activities, and old traditions have been renewed. There is great momentum with enrollment, campus development, and the faculty continues to launch new programs to enhance the student experience.

In September 2022, the Academy welcomed over 100 new students from communities throughout Maine and three countries. The students were soon contributing from the classroom, on stage, and we have always stood for with new and innovative program enhancements. We are in the second year of our new character and community program, designed to provide experiences that instill critical leadership skills in our students. In the arts, we have invested in resources to support new courses in digital design and computer animation. A Diploma with Distinction in the Arts was added as our sixth Diploma with Distinction.

new, $6.2 million dollar facility is on track for completion in the spring of 2023. We also continue to work on growing the endowment and developing plans to support the performing arts.

success would not have been possible without such a supportive community. I hope you enjoy stories from our students, faculty, and alumni in this year’s Chronicle.

Our Mission

North Yarmouth Academy is an independent, college preparatory, coeducational school. The Academy offers a structured program that establishes clear standards and high expectations in an environment that emphasizes values of mutual respect, trust, and community. North Yarmouth Academy is dedicated to fostering integrity, character, and intellect in its students.

CHARACTER

North Yarmouth Academy Character and Community Program: Respect, Honesty, Perseverance, Compassion, and Responsibility

By Betsy Tomlinson, Head of NYA’s Character and Community Program

This fall, NYA launched a character and leadership initiative using our community values as a compass for developing skills

As head of NYA’s Character and Community Program, I began making plans for the program last year.

The commitment to community engagement is a key element of NYA’s academic program. It requires thought, empathy, hard work, and perseverance. Our students learn that engaging with the community is not a task or chore, but a responsibility we all share as citizens and community members.

Through service, leadership, and volunteer activities the goal is social responsibility. The Academy is deeply grateful to the NYA family whose $400,000 gift supports this important work. Here are some initiatives I am working on:

Students in the fourth grade set community standards and serve as role models for the younger students. Topics of kindness and compassion are taught throughout the Lower School.

As Middle School students grow more aware of the wider world, opportunities to engage with their diverse interests increase. Students choose service organizations to support, and outreach programs are integrated into the curriculum.

In the Upper School, we encourage students to continue to engage with the community in and out of school. Each grade organizes monthly events for their Middle School buddy class. Upper School students assist in the Lower School classroom and volunteer outside of school. Ninth graders take a year-long seminar focusing on wellness, leadership, and diversity. Athletic team captains and senior athletes participate in leadership training programs, and select seniors are trained as wilderness trip leaders. A Community Engagement Council was established where elected representatives pursue meaningful work and demonstrate leadership. Additionally, summer opportunities for our students are available through the Rotary Club Youth Leadership summer program and Seeds of Peace.

Middle and Upper School students will have both a day of service and day of wellness each year.

I look forward to seeing these new initiatives take hold in our community and beyond.

GUS HEADS TO SCHOOL TOO!

Seminar Program Expands to Ninth and

Tenth Grades

Community engagement is a key element of NYA’s program. Cultivating our core values of respect, honesty, perseverance, compassion, and responsibility is a vital part of NYA’s commitment to developing students of strong character.

This year, we’ve added ninth and tenth grade seminars to our curriculum. The ninth grade seminar helps students adjust to the Upper School and to develop the skills to help them become their best selves. Students meet weekly in small groups for discussions about topics related to health and wellness, leadership, and equity and inclusion. The tenth grade seminar builds on the ninth grade program, and the focus shifts toward helping students to learn the importance of giving back and their roles in shaping a community.

Make-A-Wish Club Gives and Receives

The NYA Make-A-Wish Club celebrated its 20th birthday last March by presenting a check for $7,000 to Make-A-Wish® Maine. This brings the club’s total to 12 wishes granted and over $60,000 raised.

Make-A-Wish® Maine presented the club with the Brendan Batson Award, which recognizes Maine youth who give substantial time and energy to support Make-A-Wish® Maine’s mission.

NYA Student Artist Wins First Tidal Shift Award

Ellie Bouman ’24 was one of six recipients of the inaugural Tidal Shift Award presented by the Portland Museum of Art and The Climate Initiative. The purpose of the award is to showcase, amplify, and provide a platform for youth perspectives and art to highlight climate change solutions. The contest was open to residents of any New England state, ages 14–22. Bouman’s pencil and watercolor painting was one of three winners in Division 1 ages 14–18.

“If drastic action is not taken quickly, most coral reefs will die off and healthy, colorful corals will only be found in books and photographs,” expressed Bouman. She found her inspiration recalling her shock witnessing the damaging effects of climate change on a lifeless coral ecosystem in the Caribbean.

At the presentation, Unum’s Cary Olson Cartwright announced that beginning in the 2022–2023 school year, Unum will match all school fundraising dollars up to $15,000. “We are inspired by students like you, who give their time, talent, and treasure to enrich the world around them,” said Cartwright. “We hope this and more like them are doing all year.”

Oh...tough one. I always loved my English classes. Mrs. Feldman and Mr. best early military evasion tactics). Physics with Mrs. Adams and Mr. Austin – both emphasized the value of reasoning from basic principles to understand the deeper complexities of how our world works, and it is from this perspective that all of my other learning in both school and life is motivated.

WHERE DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE AND WHAT DID YOU STUDY?

I attended The US Naval Academy and majored in Chemistry.

I studied physics and economics at Colby College (Bachelor of Arts), and then mechanical engineering and entrepreneurship at Duke University (Masters of Engineering).

Lots of sports - Basketball primarily. And yes, I continued that for a bit after graduation at USNA (and with my niece and nephews to this day where I remain the driveway CHAMP in the 7yo and under division). I also played (and loved) softball and cross country at NYA. I continued running (lots...) at the Naval Academy. I can’t say that I loved it, but at least NYA primed me for that!

Steel drum band was the most non-athletic fun I had at NYA, but most of my time was spent playing soccer, hockey, and lacrosse – where I developed many core life skills like working with teams, controlling emotions, and pursuing goals.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BEST MOMENT YOU’VE EXPERIENCED AT NYA.

Hard to pick a single one, but three candidates are: being the Backstreet Boys for senior year spirit week to complete a 4-for-4 sweep of the lip sync competition, junior year, and the Clam Festival BBQ’s every summer.

Aerospace Program Manager and Systems Architect, Lockheed Martin

7WHAT MAKES NYA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SCHOOLS?

The close relationships you get to have with everyone at NYA, the level those relationships afford you moving forward into the world. The time I spent at NYA was foundational. The intimate community experience. For better or worse, you’re pushed to see yourself within a bigger social space and to contribute to it. But NYA also provides the resources and avenues to do so in a unique way for each student, and I owe a lot of my growth to the interpersonal development that I could only have gotten in such an intentional environment.

Upper School Artists Go Digital

By Andrew Cook, Middle School Art, Upper School Digital Art

NYA has always embraced the pursuit of what can be, and with the gracious support of our beloved community, can turn any dream into a reality. With a background in digital art and graphic design, I felt we in technology. Everyone owns a device and knows how to use them, and some simply need an outlet to push their digital ingenuity. An approved Parents’ Association grant for iPads in NYA’s Middle School Art Room lit to kickstart the program and secure the technology needed to offer the class, I was able to work with the visual and performing arts department to design and offer Digital Art as the new art elective this year. I could not be more excited to teach and grow this new 21st century art program. Artists will not only utilize the best software the market has to offer—Adobe CC, Procreate, and more, without any expense

multidisciplinary projects, assignments, or real-world applications. From painting/drawing to abstraction, logo design to photography, umbrella. We will explore contemporary digital artists near and far, making a decent living doing what they love.

Above all else, my goal is to allow NYA students to discover their creative potential using tools they can relate to, methods that are engaging, and techniques sure to expose them to bigger and brighter areas of interest. Critics beware, Digital Art is here to stay.

HONK!

The story, based on Hans Christian Anderson’s classic fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling,” features Ugly (Genevieve Vaillancourt ’25), who does not look like his duckling siblings (Eva Cusano ’26, Eliza Smith ’28, Hadley Smith ’26, and James Vaillancourt ’28.) The other animals, and especially Ugly’s father, Drake (Chloe Shervanick ’26), are quick to point this out, despite his mother’s (Ivy Birney ’27) protective of self-discovery, outwitting a very hungry Cat not a bad thing to be. Additional roles were played by Sidney Bouman ’27 (Maureen), Anna Litz ’27 (Henrietta), Clem Feeley ’28 (Geraldine), Josie Malin ’28 (Beatrice), Madeline Mayo ’28 (Prudence), Emma Gagnon ’23 (Grace), Emma Rothrock ’22 (Turkey), Maia Barschdorf ’27 (Jaybird/Barnacles), Amos Eichler ’28 (Graylag), Annie Millar ’27 (Dot), Tess Hogan ’26 (Old Woman), Cocoe Haedrich ’28 (Queenie), Eva Cusano ’26 (Lowbutt), Ellis Taylor ’27 (Penny), Natalie Bunker ’28 (Pinkfoot/Bewick), Sam Grady ’26 (Farmer), and Lila Fournier ’28 (Bullfrog). The tech crew was led by Andrew Cook, assisted by Sam Grady ’26 and Tess Hogan ’26.

APES covers topics like Earth, water, and atmospheric systems, biodiversity, climate change, various forms of human use and abuse, and population growth. In addition to labs, lectures, and group assignments, the APES class also meets with state leaders and scientists in wildlife conservation, the Governor’s Climate Council, smart growth in municipalities, the Maine Island Institute, renewable energy entrepreneurs, and even on fusion energy research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Student Becomes the Teacher

Upper School students have been mentoring elementary classes in many ways since the Lower School was established in 2013. From the start, the AP Chemistry class has paired with the third and fourth graders for fun experiments,

opportunity for the older students to recognize their own strengths and talents.

Peter Sillin and his senior economics class illustrate the value of trade with a hoard of candy and a very willing group of Lower School students. “The senior econ students help to manage the trading, participate some themselves, tally the ‘happy points,’ and lead the discussions within the groups,” said Sillin. “The point of the lesson is to see how ‘happy points’ (economists call this ‘utility’) increases when people are allowed to trade for their preferences, even though no new candy is introduced after the initial hand out.”

Lessons like these introduce the younger learners to curriculum they have yet to study and excites them for their learning path ahead. The older students increase their depth of knowledge and hone presentation skills as they prepare to teach.

NYA offers six Diplomas with Distinction in the Upper School for students with exceptional achievement and specialized interests. The

experiences, motivations, and goals. Students take ownership of their program and their learning, and independent studies, seminars, and capstone projects are common components of this program.

Students who successfully earn a NYA Diploma with Distinction receive the distinction along with their diploma and recognition on their transcript.

“The capstones are one piece of the criteria for STEM distinction, however. It is also based on academic coursework and participation in other STEM activities that the students choose, including

STEM clubs, job shadows and internships, service projects that are STEM related, entering STEMthemed competitions, and attending seminars,” explained Upper School science teacher and STEM coordinator, Terry Bartick.

SOCIAL ADVOCACY

The Distinction in Social Advocacy requires a combination of scholarship, service to school, and project-based service. Abby King sought opportunities to study historically marginalized communities. She learned American Sign Language and explored the history of the deaf community’s challenges to achieve respect from the hearing community and maintain their unique culture. She gave a signed presentation where a dialogue between Abby and a classmate was translated by another student for the Upper School student body. Abby also completed an internship with the Immigrant Welcome Center in Portland.

Darby Mutagoma worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Portland, where she herself was once a participant. This allowed for her to come full circle in her new community, paying it forward as a mentor to other young children, many of whom

2022 COACHES OF THE YEAR

NYA Girls Varsity Soccer Coach, Ricky Doyon (above), was recognized as the Forecaster Fall Coach of the Year for 2021. Deservedly so. Coach Doyon’s squad went undefeated to claim a third consecutive State D title. The fourth title bid was hampered by an abbreviated COVID year in 2020 when no tournament was held. The true testament varsity team when he took over in 2016.

In his senior year, the Forecaster honored Peter Gerrity ’05 as Athlete of the Year for his lacrosse skills playing for the Academy. This season, the same publication awarded Gerrity again, this time as Spring Coach of the Year for his continued leadership of the NYA Boys Varsity Lacrosse Team. The Panther boys had a rollercoaster of a postseason steadied by Gerrity, missing out on a state title by one goal in double OT.

We also prepare all our own pig feed from the highest quality, non-GMO, locally sourced ingredients. We sell direct-toconsumer, mostly servicing the greater Denver and Boulder markets.

I do research with cells.

I work as a Music Supervisor, Director, and Contractor primarily within the Broadway community

conducting the orchestra and playing keyboard in the pit of a Broadway musical, other days, I am overseeing the musicians at Radio City Music Hall, and still others, providing musical arrangements for TV shows or even cruise ships! I get to collaborate with so many fascinating individuals—that’s my favorite part of the job.

I am currently working on a new musical called & Juliet, coming to Broadway this fall! It features all songs by Max Martin and a script by the person who wrote Schitt’s Creek, so it’s a ton of fun. I think it may actually be my favorite show I’ve ever worked on!

3WHERE DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE AND WHAT DID YOU STUDY?

I went to Eckerd College for a year and a half and then transferred to Assumption College. I graduated with dual degrees in Economics and Classics.

I went to Worcester Polytechnic Institute and studied biomedical engineering.

I actually got my BA in Psychology at Harvard University. When I began college, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do as a career, and I found psychology to be a fascinating subject that endlessly interesting to me. While pursuing my degree, I also began interning on shows at the American Repertory Theater, a professional theater on our campus, and it was there I realized I may want to pursue a career in music.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ACADEMIC CLASS AT NYA? H

G

I really enjoyed my Spanish classes with Patia Maule. Even though I didn’t major in Spanish, she

Either AP Calculus with Mr. Austin or AP English Language with Mr. Markonish. I found the material fascinating in both courses, and also really appreciated how both Mr. Austin and Mr. Markonish made the subject matter engaging.

WHAT EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES DID YOU PARTICIPATE IN AT NYA? DID YOU CONTINUE ANY AFTER GRADUATING?

I played volleyball, basketball, and softball. I participated in chorus and did tech for the winter musical. I also took ceramics. I continued with ceramics in college but haven’t seriously kept up with any of these.

While at NYA, I spent a lot of time in Higgins Hall, playing every instrument I could and singing in all of the various choruses. It’s the love of music I developed at NYA—particularly under Mr. Ramsey’s guidance - that I ultimately parlayed into a career.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BEST MOMENT YOU’VE EXPERIENCED AT NYA.

Winning the lacrosse state championship my junior year was pretty special. A lot of my friends were in the class ahead of me, and it was incredible seeing them win a state title as they departed NYA.

My favorite time at NYA was when I took ceramics. That class was fun, it was rewarding to make art that can be used in everyday life, and everyone spent a lot of time together outside of class, before and after school, during break, lunch, and free periods.

One of my favorite moments I experienced at NYA was probably learning how Japanese musical notation that is scored for the instrument. Mr. Ramsey had a new instrument I had never even encountered before was such a cool experience. I don’t know if I would’ve had an experience like that anywhere else in Maine!

WAS THERE A CLASS, TEACHER, OR ASSIGNMENT THAT HELPED SHAPE YOU, EITHER IN YOUR CAREER OR PERSONALLY, INTO WHO YOU ARE TODAY?

I was never the best or most focused student at NYA. When I entered my senior year, I convinced Mrs. Feldman to let me into her AP Literature class. We had a great conversation around what it would take to be successful and that I would need to focus and mature a bit more if I were to join. I ended up doing fairly well in the class. She didn’t lower her expectations for me, and she held me accountable. But most importantly, she believed in me. I think that really showed me what I could do if I focused and took things a bit more seriously. It’s a lesson that I carried with me throughout college and into adulthood. In eighth grade, I took biology with Mr. Smith. He showed us a video of a heart

IS THERE ANYONE AT NYA YOU STILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH? WHAT DO THOSE CONNECTIONS MEAN TO YOU?

I still keep in touch with Danny Dearing ’06 and Nathaniel Wellin ’07. These guys are lifelong friends, and even though we all live in different states, it’s like we never missed a beat when we get back together. For better or for worse, it’s like we’re still in high school when we meet up.

I have a group of friends from my grade that I catch up with every few months. I also attend NYA events every once in a while and catch up with teachers like Mrs. Krainis, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Markonish. I love hearing about how everyone is doing.

WHAT MAKES NYA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SCHOOLS?

NYA is different because of the close community that it has cultivated. Your friends, peers, and teachers are truly invested in you. They hold you accountable

willing to help you out when you’re struggling. There’s no way to hide, and at the end of the day that’s a good thing because you come out a better person at the end of the experience.

NYA is different from many other schools because of the close community it creates. Its small size and incredibly caring faculty allow you to really feel like you know the people you are surrounded by—you feel so supported as you learn, grow, and try new things.

It was bittersweet to say goodbye to our dining staff David Daigle and Barbara Lambert after 21 and 19 years respectively. We thank them for all their hard work, great food, care, and fun they provided us over the years. Maybe you were lucky enough to have a specialty sandwich named after you!

Lower School Grandparents’ Day and Celebration of the Arts

Grandparents, parents, grand-friends, and family members gathered last spring for a Celebration of the Arts and Lower School Grandparents’ Day. This fun event, which was held in person after a two-year hiatus, featured musical performances, academic presentations, displays of artwork, and opportunities for families to connect and celebrate.

PLEASE SAVE THE DATE FOR NEXT YEAR’S EVENT ON FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023

Homecoming weekend was full of activities for young and old September 23-24

Students and faculty dressed up according to various themes for spirit week leading up to the homecoming weekend. Friday Forum included the Edgar F. White ’38 Athletic Hall of Fame induction followed by an alumni luncheon. There were

even a football game (see Athletics about NYA’s football co-op). The homecoming dance took place on Saturday night in Safford.

Also on Saturday night was an alumni gathering at Rising Tide Brewery hosted by NYA Alumni and the Class of 1997 for their 25th reunion. (See class notes.)

Lacrosse and Soccer Alumni Return

In the spring of 2022, lacrosse alumni had the chance to take to the NYA turf to play the current girls and boys teams in back-to back games. A barbeque lunch was served by longtime Director of Dining, David Daigle.

A few weeks later, alumni soccer players had the opportunity to play current NYA soccer teams and enjoy dinner together on a beautiful summer evening (with a bit of rain).

At both events, there was plenty of opportunity for alumni to reconnect and reminisce, as well as meet current players and coaches.

NYA hopes to make these annual events! Please watch your email for more information and plan to join us back on campus for these events soon.

Great day on the links in memory of Steve Morris

The 20th Annual Steve Morris Golf Tournament took place on September 30 at Toddy Brook Golf Course. The event raises funds for need-based of the late Steve “Mo” Morris who taught at NYA for 29 years. Thank you to the sponsors, players, and all those who helped to create this event.

PARENT

Parents Play a Vital Role Our Community

By Jess Lynch P’29, P’31 Parents’ Association President and Trustee

Head of School Dinner

Leadership, philanthropy, and service were celebrated this fall at the annual Head of School dinner. During the event Nadia Rosenberg and Jack Byrne, Class of 2023, spoke to guests about their NYA experiences and the impact of the faculty and coaches, and opportunities presented to them during their time at the Academy. Patrick Cannon P’22 received the Proud Panther award, Trustee Jess Lynch P’29, P’31 was recognized with the Cupola Award for exceptional service to the Academy as a trustee and President of the Parents’ Association, and Former Trustee Ted Sharp ‘60 was honored with the Mark Fasold Award for his longtime service and support.

September Parent Receptions

We enjoyed meeting many new and returning parents at the welcome receptions in late September hosted by Ben and Amity Jackson and the PA. All our parents are encouraged to stay in touch and get involved with the Parents’ Association. Parents are a vital part of our community, and the work of the PA makes a tremendous impact on the Academy each year. If you are interested in being involved with the PA, contact Jess Lynch at jessicahartlynch@gmail.com.

WE ARE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL!

The Parents’ Association works throughout the year to provide programmatic enrichment and guest speakers, fund student and faculty grants, and facilitate community building opportunities. In addition to our fundraising events, this year we are focused on making sure our families experience the same welcoming and supportive environment their students experience every day.

Thank you to all our volunteers who worked the PA booth at the Yarmouth Clam Festival this July! Together we:

• Scooped 4,992 SCOOPS of ice cream

• Served 50 POUNDS of popcorn

• Sold 400 PRETZELS

• 18 GALLONS of lemonade

• 12 GALLONS of iced tea

• And 25 CASES of blueberry and root beer soda

That’s a LOT of ice cream!

This was a great start to the 2022–2023 school year! It will allow us to further our goals of bringing parents back together and funding student and faculty grant requests.
