NORTH SHORE’S STORY IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT PEOPLE ARE THE BEATING HEART OF NORTH SHORE While I have only recently joined the North Shore community, it is obvious to me that people are the beating heart of North Shore. Nowhere is that more apparent than on these Acorn pages. Personal stories of achievement, reflection and service, balance the more traditional acknowledgement of donors. Both are evidence of the School’s impact and resonance. An annual report of giving could appear, on the surface, a bit dry; but from the vantage point of a new Head of School, it is inspiring. What could be more gratifying than to see so many people—generations of people— who value North Shore and want to ensure that its mission endures? By donating their talents, time and treasures, members of the North Shore community ensure the School will continue to grow and thrive, and future generations will add their stories. We do our work to serve our students, so it is always a special moment when we celebrate a graduating class. The Class of 2016 is distinguished not only by its achievement—as shown by the impressive list of schools where they will advance their educations and pursue their passions—but by its heart. The long list of service opportunities embraced by North Shore students and adults (page 60) proves that Brian Cook is not the only member of our community who knows that “human connection” might be the most important thing that defines us. Whether in Winnetka, the greater Chicagoland or around the world, we would all benefit from more connection

and understanding. Adair Dammann ’74 (page 20) found both in Tanzania and emerged grateful, energized and humbled. Her roots stretch back to North Shore’s founding and her message resonates today; we can and should all be teachers, but “we are all students here.” In addition to 48 wonderful students, this year North Shore graduated a very special, 27-year lifer named Tom Doar. Who embodies “Live and Serve” (page 4) better than he does? The story of his decades of dedicated service here (and many more at other fine schools) is one that encapsulates the best of North Shore. Tom’s fingerprints are all over North Shore and the magnitude of his influence here is matched only by the gentle humility with which he exercised it. Along with Mouse, Tom, Charlie and Mullery, the Doars leave a legacy to celebrate and honor. The rousing success of The Doar Fund (page 26) testifies to the love and regard the North Shore community has for Tom. The Fund’s clearly defined purpose—student support—also reflects the central place that young people have always had in Tom’s view of school life. Thank you, Tom. Jim Lumberg’s tale (page 18) is one of personal triumph to be sure, but it conveys an eternal truth: very few of us succeed in isolation. Jim put in the hard work, played his role, and showed the physical and mental fortitude necessary to succeed. His remarkable experience at the top of the world, though, is also a beautiful example of connection, teamwork and passion—all things that we honor and foster here. In a way, all of us at North Shore share that “short rope” of interdependence—even if lives

aren’t literally on the line! The trust we can build in such a warm and close community makes it possible for us to risk and thrive both individually and collectively. I hope you will be as inspired as I am learning about the vast array of activities and opportunities available to North Shore students and teachers. This level of engagement is only possible thanks to the support provided by you, the extended North Shore family. Student trips, inspiring speakers, professional growth and development—all depend on your generosity. On behalf of our students, faculty and staff, I offer my profound thanks. I encourage you to page through this issue, to see all of the ways that North Shore has made an impact on people— both individuals and groups—and how people have made an impact on North Shore. The story it tells me is one of connection, generosity and common purpose. It is North Shore’s story and I am looking forward to finding my own place in the narrative.

THE DOAR ER A “Tom has always understood what makes North Shore a special place—with values that are unique among independent schools. He has protected those values with clarity, and he has guaranteed that a gentle civility remains critical to the School’s success. A head who loves his job, and knows why, is a person whose leadership should be emulated. Tom knows that schools are about people. He has, since day one on the job, been guided by the belief that what is in defense of students makes a great school! That is why North Shore is truly one of the best.” DICK HALL

n June 30, 2016, Tom Doar retired as North Shore Country Day School’s eighth Head of School. In total, Tom dedicated 27 years to the School. At the celebratory Doar Picnic in May, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Molly Shotwell Oelerich ’87 toasted him along with all those at North Shore who have accomplished so much. “I stand here tonight in the place of Jim Lumberg, our Board Chair, who is unable to be with us. Here at North Shore we teach children to think big, pursue their dreams and believe in themselves. Jim has been away since the beginning of April because he thought big, pursued his dream, believed in himself and achieved what very few people have ever done. This past Wednesday, Jim reached the summit of Mt. Everest. Now resting safely at base camp at the low altitude of 17,600 feet, he sends his regards to all of you. I cannot imagine a Board Chair being a better role model for our community. “This very special event is a time for our North Shore community to celebrate Tom Doar’s 27-year legacy as teacher, coach, administrator and Head of North Shore Country Day School. Alumni spanning the classes of 1937-2015 (78 years) are here tonight. We also have parents, current and former faculty and staff (including Julie Hall, former Head of School), parents of alumni, friends and neighbors all here to acknowledge Tom and the footprints he leaves behind. “Welcome to Tom’s family. They have all been integral members of our community for many years. His wife Mouse. Son Thomas class of 2000, his wife Shaina.

Son Charlie class of 2003 and his wife Anita. Daughter Mullery class of 2006 who will be working at North Shore next year in Admissions. We also have with us Mouse’s sister Banana and her husband Peter. “Tom is our eighth head of school since our founding in 1919. He has artfully carried on the legacy of so many others, including our founder Perry Dunlap Smith, yet brought North Shore to a new level of achievement. “Tom always stayed the course, knowing what was best for our community. He believed in the institution and our mission. When all was said and done, Tom’s commitment to children and education won out every time. “Tom and I both started at North Shore in 1980. I was an awkward 6th grader and Tom was a rising star. He taught me math in 7th grade. I babysat for Thomas and Charlie. Thomas was my kindergarten buddy. Fast forward to the year 2000 when I sat on the Search Committee that hired Tom as the next head of school. Despite a national search, we all knew Tom was exactly what the School needed—refreshed energy with an understanding of our history. I have served on the Board of Trustees during his entire tenure and witnessed the magic he has created here. To say the School has excelled under Tom’s leadership would be an understatement. “I marvel every day at Tom’s ability to balance the routine with the many “not so routine” things that happen at a school. Even in the most difficult of situations, Tom has a way of seeing the best in

everyone and believing we strive for teachable moments. “Tom has the ability to make anyone feel welcome, whether an out-of-touch alum, visiting family or strangers who come from all over the world to see our stateof-the-art facilities. To him, they all have an interesting story that deserves to be heard. He treats them like they have been friends forever. “Lastly, Tom is a wonderful listener. He values the opinions of others, seeks consensus, and yet isn’t afraid to take the hill when he knows what needs to be done. Those are all qualities I admire and try to emulate. “Tom has been a wonderful mentor to me, going all the way back to 1981 when he taught me math. We had a lot of fun in that class. Even though that was 35 years ago, it was the real Tom. The same guy standing here. A genuine, engaged educator who wanted kids to have fun while they were learning. While so much has changed over those years, Tom is still that same person. I will miss him terribly. “Thank you to everyone here for what you have done over the years to support Tom and North Shore. Under Tom’s leadership we have arrived at this wonderful place of success with plans for more! Our commitment and appreciation of the past, and the legacy of Tom and Mouse, will most certainly ensure a highly successful future.” M O L LY S H O T W E L L O E L E R I C H ’ 8 7 ,

“Dear Tom—This is to thank you for all your years of service to North Shore, but especially for the way in which your work affected our family. “As you know, Emma was only at North Shore for three years. Even so, she would be the first to say that her time at the Day School was instrumental in helping her to become the best possible version of herself. And she would agree with us that this was mostly because you created an academic atmosphere that, in equal parts, valued participation, provided structure, nurtured community and expected excellence—not just in terms of doing well, but also in terms of doing good. “Because of this balance, Emma learned to try her hand at everything that interested her—which was nearly everything. She found talents that she never knew she had and learned to enjoy doing things for which she had very little natural ability. She developed extraordinary relationships with her teachers, lifelong friendships with her classmates, and a feeling of real agency in the outside world. Also, and equally importantly, she became a scholar and had a great lot of fun. “We could not have asked for a better school experience than North Shore provided under your direction.” KIT AND STEVE HARPER

“When Dick Hall was Headmaster, he used to say that the School was certainly in good shape structurally, since we had two Halls and one Doar. Then the Doar left for Rye Country Day School. Thank goodness after nine years he returned in the fall of 1996 as Special Assistant for Community Affairs and a month later, Director of Development too. And he just kept on going. Thank you, Tom, for all the many years you have done so much for North Shore, and thank you, Mouse, for being his very capable right-hand woman.” JULIE HALL

“In a world that always thinks bigger is better, Mr. Tom Doar always managed to hold onto the crucially important notion that small is beautiful. “He presided over our beloved NSCDS during the time that we were lucky enough to be able to have all three of our sons educated there: Charlie, Malcolm and Robert. “What makes NSCDS magical is the sense of family across the whole school. Mr. Doar was just the right kind of magician to update the School to stay cutting edge in terms of managing the capital campaigns to yield a better Diller St. Theater (Auditorium) and a state-of-the-art Upper School; to add computer-programming classes; to create Tom’s Blog; but to also maintain the sense of intimacy and caring that a small school such as NSCDS excels at.” K AT Y A N D G E R R Y H A N S E L L

A DOA R PICNIC On May 21, the School community celebrated Tom Doar’s 27 years at North Shore and 16 years as Head of School prior to his retirement. More than 400 members of the community, including alumni, parents, trustees, faculty, staff, parents of alumni, the Doar family and friends of the School came together to show Tom their appreciation for everything he has dedicated to North Shore Country Day School. Tom addressed the guests in an emotional speech, but was touched by all those who attended,

and truly moved by remarks made by Board Vice Chair Molly Shotwell Oelerich ’87, the “Onward and Upward” video tribute created by Brendan Leonard ’02, featuring some of the highest accolades that members of the School have for Tom. The Quad was decorated with a giant tent, photos marking Tom’s journey at NSCDS, as well as colorful doors, a ninehole mini-golf course, picnic food and handheld cutouts of his smiling face. His favorite drumstick ice cream cones were served at the end as the sweetest farewell.

“May each of your days be better than the last. May you strive for your dreams. And may you give yourself the freedom to forge the path that’s right for you.” 14

Michael Valenti ’16 rings the bell

“If after we leave here tonight, you ask your parents and your grandparents if their high-school-graduate self could have predicted where they would be, my guess is most will say probably not. And this is the scary thing right? This is why nights like tonight, while exciting, can also seem daunting. You leave North Shore having done so much. You’ve learned things, invented and created things, made mistakes, made big decisions; you’re setting out on your path. “You’ve spent a lot of time over the last 18 years doing all the things you’re supposed to do—you’ve listened to your parents and teachers (most of the time). You’ve completed your assignments, attended the practices, volunteered. As I’ve gotten to know all of you, it’s become clear that what characterizes you is that you’re a motivated and decisive group of people. You meet deadlines, you finish things, you can be counted on. As a result you’ve earned the privilege of figuring out what comes next. College, yes. But as you’ve undoubtedly heard Ms. Giffen and me say, that experience is what you make of it. Enjoy the journey. Change your mind. Finish what is important to you and give yourself permission to abandon what isn’t. Find what feels right—what fulfills you and excites you. “I hope you have all taken the time to notice that title on the top of your

program tonight says ‘commencement’— not ‘graduation’. This may seem to be a subtle distinction, but I believe it to be an important one. Yes both words indicate the finishing of something, the receipt of a degree. But commencement also indicates the beginning of something. New goals, new aspirations, new friends, new homes, new schools. As you approach this new beginning you will take with you all that you’ve accomplished and all you’ve learned at North Shore. “Before I finish…I will leave you with something from Joseph Campbell: ‘If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.’ “At nearly every speech I heard him give during my four years, the president of the university I attended reminded the students that the greatest wish he had for them was that rather than always calling college the best four years of their lives and having to constantly look back on that, that he hoped it would forever be the next four years that would be the best four years of their lives. It’s at occasions such as todays that I’m reminded of this. May each of your days be better than the last. May you strive for your dreams. And may you give yourself the freedom to forge the path that’s right for you. Congratulations to all of you!”

Farewell to Graduates TOM DOAR

Head of School

“It hit me then that these young men and women have developed to be the people they have become thanks, in part, to the care of the adults in their lives. They, as a group, have benefitted from truly being cared for by the adults in their lives—their parents, their friends’ parents and their North Shore teachers, coaches, directors and advisors at North Shore.”

They have developed relationships that matter—they as a class have mattered.

WHY I CLIMBED increasingly focused on my own motivations for climbing. I climbed Mt. Everest for a number of reasons.

MT. EVEREST of mutual dependence and trust that is hard to replicate. The experience was most profound with my climbing partner, Pemba Sherpa. At the times when our climbing was the most dangerous and exposed, Pemba and I would tie a short rope to connect us. The purpose was that if either of us fell the other would arrest the fall. It was an act that connected our destinies and created a level of mutual dependence that I found incredibly impactful and meaningful.

MINDFULNESS Climbing demands sustained awareness and there is a sense of mindfulness that emerges from the experience. Climbing in the Khumbu Icefall or managing exposures on high narrow ridges demands focused attention. At other times, like when the mountain limits progress to one slow step after the other, mindfulness is found in the steady and sustained rhythm of simply focusing on each single step. Storms can come quickly and have

profound consequence on big mountains, therefore clouds and environment are studied and monitored in ways that have with a seriousness of attention that creates a connection to nature. Finding mindfulness from being fully aware of each moment is a powerful experience that emerges from climbing.

A POSITIVE LIFE FORCE I believe is it important to have big goals. Big goals are an organizing and positive force in life. I think President Kennedy captured this idea powerfully in the context of his challenge to send an American to the Moon: “We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.” Climbing big mountains—and Mt. Everest

in particular—has been an organizing, positive force in my life. I have learned timeless lessons that I try to apply to daily life. I have learned the power of persistence, the value of setting ambitious goals and the merits of pushing beyond perceived limits.

WHY CLIMB? Climbing big mountains can be difficult, is often uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous, but even in the midst of the most challenging moments there is a fullness of experience that I find compelling. Although Mallory may have had the most expedient answer to the question of “Why climb?,” I find there are many compelling reasons. My expedition to Mt. Everest and the quest to stand on top of the world’s biggest mountains are a passion that brings joy and special meaning to my life.

On her mother’s side, her grandmother had been a doctor at Hull House on Chicago’s South Side, living with and treating immigrant workers and families. Adair’s father pursued a life of public service, working in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations in Washington D.C. When he joined a private law practice in Chicago, the family moved to back to Northfield. That’s when Adair entered North Shore in 5th grade. She followed her parents’ lead and dove into a life of political action, starting during high school working for the congressional campaigns of Abner Mikva on the North Shore. After graduating from NSCDS, she went to Harvard, dropped out for a year to explore politics, but returned to graduate in 1979. “I emerged from my adolescence very confident of my brains and somewhat WEBSITE POST confident of who I am on this earth.

Americans—often hospital, child-care, or nursing-home workers. She had lobbied for progressive policies in several state capitals, in Washington D.C., cities and counties. She had worked to register voters, mobilize communities and get out the vote in every election over several decades. Throughout this career, she maintained a dogged commitment to the people with whom she organized—low-wage and marginalized Americans, many of whom were immigrants, people of color or English-language learners. Adair’s life was rewarding but grueling. By the time she reached her late 50s, decades of 80-hour workweeks had taken a toll. “I had all these lessons that life is short and things can change in a heartbeat. I had already lost my parents. Then, in 2008, my sister Grace was disabled in a nearly fatal car accident. I knew there were things I wanted to do, but time was a-wasting!” She decided to retire early so she could take a sabbatical out of the workforce to explore and travel. She had gone to Africa once on safari and traveled through amazing areas. She wanted to go back and see Africa not as a tourist but through her organizer’s eyes. “What is life like here for the people I see? How can I be of service?

$2,000,000 Raised for The Doar Fund AND STILL GOING STRONG

In December 2015, the Board of Trustees endorsed and announced the creation of The Doar Fund, in acknowledgment of Head of School Tom Doar’s 27-year tenure at North Shore Country Day School, and in recognition of what has been accomplished by the faculty, administration and school community under Tom’s leadership. The Fund was designed to benefit students and promote faculty excellence, which will continue to enhance the School’s vibrant community. In true NSCDS tradition, all were asked to participate in a way that was meaningful—to both acknowledge and thank Tom for his years of service, as well as strengthen the School that is loved so well—and the response was enthusiastic. To date, $2,000,000 has been raised in gifts and pledges and giving is still going strong. The Fund is expected to continue growing, with a portion being directed to the endowment for scholarships and a portion to the Immediate Impact Fund, which will be used at the discretion of the Head of School in support of supplemental student scholarship funding and faculty initiatives for curricular and programmatic developments. This is a unique time in North Shore’s history. The School has never been stronger, and it is Tom who should be thanked for his vision, hard work and dedication to the North Shore community. Above all, Tom has always said, “It’s about the students.” What better way to honor him for his contributions than providing the very best education and experience for all North Shore students. Thanks to the School community coming together, the School has been strengthened for now and for years to come, and the commitment to students, faculty and staff, and the School community will continue. As Tom has said, “We’re just getting started!”

The Purple Wave 2016

A S S O C I AT E MEMBERS

“The Purple Wave” annual auction and party hosted by the Benefit Board was held on February 20. It was a casual and lively evening of food, fun, and friends, raising over $330,000 for the School. This year’s theme, Taste of NSCDS, featured a tasting menu of world cuisines provided by the School’s cafeteria foodservice HandCut Foods—fresh, locally sourced and delicious. The décor highlighted the North Shore experience by showcasing items from classrooms and extra-curricular activities. Guests enjoyed listening to jazz music performed by North Shore’s Upper School Ensemble. Live and silent auctions featured a variety of items from a helicopter tour, a Coco Pazzo chef’s table dining experience, sports tickets and paddle tennis parties to faculty offerings and student class photos. New this year, a Mystery Undernighter at the School hosted by faculty was awarded to the 4th graders through a competitive bidding process. As part of a North Shore tradition, members of the senior class assisted with acting out the auction items on stage in the Auditorium. The emotional appeal was designated for The Doar Fund to enhance North Shore’s vibrant school community by providing student support and faculty excellence. Since 1981, the Benefit Board, formerly the Women’s Board, has raised more than $5 million through their annual auction to support areas of the School not covered by the annual operating budget. The North Shore community greatly appreciates the Benefit Board members for their continued commitment to students and faculty.

2015-16 children/grandchildren of alumni as pictured in the Fall/Winter 2016 Acorn

“Having children involved in the school-selection process causes me to frequently think about my experiences at North Shore. I now appreciate the School’s immersive academic environment, the personal engagement by teachers, and the sense of community that existed in and out of the classroom. Assisting with fundraising is a way that I can help to make sure this experience is available for future students.” JEB BREECE ’00

In the 2015-16 school year, four Upper School student “Houses” were created to foster community in small groups of about 55 students from all grades and several faculty members. The Houses combine about six or seven Advisory groups to create a mix of students from all four grades. Students were challenged to learn about significant members of North Shore’s history and then choose names for each House. After much deliberation, the four houses were named for the following former teachers and staff: Middle School faculty Bill Steel, Upper School faculty Robert “Spike” Millett, Music Director Ramsay Duff and former Head of School Julie Hall. Going forward, the Houses will be known as Steel, Millett, Duff and Hall, and students will stay in the same House for their four years in the Upper School. In the first year, the Houses served as a primary center to engage in deeper conversations on issues of equity, inclusion and diversity; curriculum; and on-campus events.

8th Grade Identity Project by Cain Humphrey ’20

“Upstanders” Theme for Franke Family Fund This was the seventh year for The Franke Family Fund program, which annually encourages faculty to develop and implement creative and unique ideas to enhance the students’ experiences across all divisions. The 2015-16 program focused on “Upstanders,” introduced by an organization called Facing History and Ourselves. Upstanders encourage students to “embrace the challenge to speak out, do the right thing, and make decisions that help create positive change in our world and make a conscious choice to step in instead of stand by.” North Shore integrated the Upstanders theme into curricular and co-curricular programming, such as advisory and community conversations. Franke Fund events included a visit from Marjorie Agosin, a Chilean-born American poet, writer, human rights activist and professor at Wellesley College, and and an Almquist Gallery exhibit of her Arpillera collection; faculty/staff professional development focused on developing Upstanders; a Lower School Upstander book series; and Harold Hines Fellow

Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, the author of the New York Times bestseller Just Mercy, and a MacArthur Fellow. In the Lower School, the theme of Upstanders was connected with the Kaleidoscope program. Kaleidoscope is a block for all Lower Schoolers dedicated to exploring issues of equity, inclusion and diversity. An Upstander display was installed at the entrance to the Lower School on a large bulletin board where pictures, facts and questions about Upstanders’ lives, work and contributions were displayed. Students passed the board many times a day, allowing them to learn about and try and guess who the Upstander was at Friday Ex—Lower School’s weekly assembly. Featured Upstanders included Congressman John Lewis, Shirley Chisholm, Maya Angelou, Jane Adams and Barbara Mankiller. The 9th graders participated through Service Learning Projects. They went to Evanston for the Walk of Compassion, stopped in the Baha’i Temple and presented their service learning projects

to each other and to other audience members, including parents. The 10th graders addressed the Upstanders theme by looking at the Rwandan genocide. They watched Hotel Rwanda and engaged in a simulation on the topic. In conjunction with an inquiry unit on The Kite Runner, the 11th grade viewed the new documentary What Tomorrow Brings. They also Skyped with Beth Murphy, the filmmaker, and Razia Jan, the founder of the school in the movie. In addition, through a series of activities, they explored the topic of refugees and critically considered the refugee crisis today, how people decide to whom they feel a sense of responsibility and what leads people to be upstanders regardless of the consequences they may face. The 12th grade met three lawyers who have represented Guantanamo Bay detainees and who explained their work, engaged in discussion and answered questions. They also brainstormed on how to embody a “Live and Serve” approach they prepared for college and life after North Shore.

On May 13, the Parent Education committee and Family Action Network hosted Sherman Alexie, National Book Award-winning author, poet and filmmaker, to speak about “The Power of Storytelling and the Importance of Identity” in the Auditorium. Sherman is a Native American poet, short story writer, novelist and performer who grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Willpinit, WA. He has published 25 books, including his first picture book, Thunder Boy, Jr., which he used as a guide to talk to North Shore about the exploration of identity, which is a common theme in his stories. Thunder Boy, Jr. explores the relationship between father and son in this story of a young boy trying to discover what his Indian name should be. Upper School faculty members and students had the chance to meet the author after his remarks.

Susan Marshall ’76: Daniel Aisenberg The 2016 Susan Marshall ’76 Memorial Concert featured 17-year-old clarinetist Daniel Aisenberg, who performed at Morning Ex on May 11. Following Morning Ex, he visited Lower, Middle and Upper School music classes for the rest of the day. The annual concert series was established by Susan Marshall’s parents Irl and Barbara Favill Marshall ’46 in 1983 in memory of her lifelong love of 52

music. Susan played violin, piano and enjoyed singing. Susan’s brother Bucky Marshall ’71 and her sisters Alice Marshall Vogler ’69 and Carol Marshall Allen ’74 attended this year’s concert and accompanied Daniel to visit classes. During his opening remarks, Daniel recognized Susan Marshall’s family. “The Marshall family has paved the way for young students to strive to achieve their dreams and goals. It is an honor and a privilege to be here today as part of a legacy of renowned and respected musicians that have performed here before me. “I am sincerely grateful for this opportunity to share my love of music with the students and faculty here at North Shore Country Day School. Like Susan, music has been an important part of my life and I have received much encouragement, love and support on my journey. Behind every student of music, it is important to recognize there are always supportive parents who are there every step of the way—sitting in the audience, driving to lessons and rehearsals and so much more. On that note, I would like to dedicate this concert to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, two parents whose love and support of their daughter, Susan, has grown into this special memorial concert event for all of us.” Daniel has been playing the clarinet for almost 10 years. He was selected as a member of the National Association for Music Education 2015 All-National Honor Ensemble and chosen to play in the 2014-15 All-State Music Festival.

Since 1997, Alex Silets ’87 has been a producer on a number of WTTW programs, including Chicago Tonight, Chicago Week in Review, and the weekly documentary program, Chicago Stories. She also co-produced a groundbreaking documentary on the history of Chicago’s Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgendered community, Out & Proud In Chicago, hosted by Jane Lynch. Alex visited with the 5th grade, giving them insight on what her job entails, her mantra to stay curious when searching for a story, treating people who share their stories with sensitivity and saying “yes” to any opportunity to learn. They had great questions and she was delighted to hear about their upcoming trip to different Chicago neighborhoods where they would interview/video-record people for the 5th Grade Film Festival.

German Radio, Thomas Rohlinger The 3rd grade welcomed Thomas Rohlinger to their class for one week in May. Thomas is from Germany and works for a Germanbased organization that helps connect children from all over the world through the radio. During his visit at NSCDS, he worked with students to create a radio program to share with others. The Middle School contributed “I Believe” statements that they recorded, and the Upper School shared experiences interviewing and recording several faculty and staff from the School. On May 23, all North Shore students gathered in the Auditorium to learn about audio projects created by each of the divisions.

Class of 2016 Elects Class Representatives

On June 9, the Parents’ Association hosted the annual Faculty and Staff Appreciation Luncheon. Parents brought in an array of dishes and thoughtfully decorated the cafeteria with daisies and inspiring quotes for the North Shore staff and faculty to read aloud and enjoy as a takeaway. At the lunch, retiring PA President Inge Hondmann handed the presidency to Susan Fortier for the 2016-17 school year, and Tom Doar addressed faculty and staff giving each individual department special recognition and thanking them for being part of what makes the School successful. The PA also gifted every faculty and staff member with a giftcard, the result of a collection donated by North Shore parents as a token of their appreciation for all that the School does for students.

On April 25, Rachel Cantor ’16 and Dillon Forester ’16 were elected to serve as Class Representatives at a special luncheon program. As the Class of 2016 approached alumni status, they were commemorated at this event, receiving the much-anticipated NSCDS class mugs. These mugs are an annual tradition gifted to the graduating class, featuring all of their names imprinted on the back.

Race Against Hate The Ricky Byrdsong Race Against Hate is held every Father’s Day in part to remember Byrdsong but also to unify thousands of people from the Chicagoland area against racial hatred and violence. For over 5 years, North Shore Country Day School’s Multicultural Affairs Committee has formed a team for the Race Against Hate. This year, the NSCDS team began the day in the backyard of one of North Shore’s families, the Ugarte’s, at 6:15 a.m. But the enthusiasm coming from each team member did not reflect the time. The pre-race party included bagels for breakfast and tying purple bandanas around their wrists. The 10k race began at 7:15, when 10 Raiders lined up to start. At 7:45, the rest of the team began at the 5k starting line. The School’s team had over 80 runners out of 5,200 total at the race, earning the title and award for the largest team. Beyond the participants were those who turned out to be North Shore supporters. The team raised $715 to support the YWCA’s work in eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

North Shore’s Golf Outing The 17th Annual Golf Outing for alumni, faculty, staff, parents, parents of alumni and friends was held on June 13 at the Highland Park Golf Club.

facult y Faculty Profile: David Kubacki MIDDLE SCHOOL HUMANITIES AND SCIENCE TEACHER

Q . Why did you choose to work at North Shore? A. I’ve been here for 9 years. I started

working at North Shore as a long-term substitute teacher then an assistant teacher in the Lower School. I came upon the School randomly, just searching for jobs, emailed my resume and was called back within a half-hour for an interview. I immediately felt very comfortable. It’s a great atmosphere here, and they offered me the position that day. I’ve been here ever since. Q . Why do you like teaching in Middle School? A. After that first year, North Shore was

doing some re-structuring in the Middle School and encouraged me to apply for a position opening. So I did, and I was hired to teach 6th grade humanities and 7th grade science because the School needed crossover teachers. Since I have a background in English and in science, it sounded amazing. I don’t know of any other school where teachers have the opportunity to teach across departments like that. I’ve been teaching that combo for 8 years. Q . What is your favorite part about your job? A. The students, for sure. North Shore

is a great community—the students are very motivated, engaged, curious and genuinely enjoy learning. Part of that comes from the teachers, the community’s families and the values they promote, but I think the other really cool thing is the freedom the teachers are given. We can teach to our passions and share that with our students. When students see we’re excited, they get excited. That is one of the things that led into the Food-Education

Committee, because it’s something I’m super passionate about and I’ve been trying to find ways to fit it into the curriculum. Q. How does your life outside of NSCDS relate to your passion for the Food-Education Program? A. I have two children who are going to

be 5 and 7 and I love playing outside with them. We have a couple garden beds in our yard and I have them planting things and picking tomatoes and trying new foods. It’s part of my family’s life. Q. What do you do to engage and inspire your students? A. My class is student-led with activities

like projects and presentations where they take control and I serve as their facilitator, coach and guide. I try to keep it hands-on and change it up, because when they take ownership of their learning they become more confident and inspired. I also think my personality is important. Having a sense of humor and goofing around with them is key. Q. How would you describe your students? A. Energetic, kind and curious. Q. What has changed at North Shore since you started? A. Specifically in the Middle School,

additions like computer science, dance, Mandarin and the garden club have been really successful. The programming we offer has changed, and I continually try to change the curriculum from year to year by adding to it and enhancing it. I don’t like to completely abandon old ways, but I think it’s good to keep reflecting on them. I’m as much of a learner as my students.

Q. You created Farm Day. What is that? A. As a science teacher, I wanted to put

together some sort of field day dedicated to sustainability. But that’s such a broad topic, so I thought, “how about food,” because that’s what I’m interested in, and everybody loves food. Farm Day is basically a day where the entire Middle School goes to organic farms and orchards in Wisconsin and spends the day working alongside the farmer. They’ll do the actual chores the farmer would be doing during the day. They pull weeds, harvest whatever is in season and prep things for winter. They get to learn about where their food comes from and all of the work involved in getting the food to the market. For a lot of students, I think it’s a huge wake-up call and helps to develop and foster an appreciation for food, healthy eating and nature. One year, we harvested potatoes and the kids could not believe that’s where potatoes came from! The farmer drove the tractor to till up the soil and they had to dig into the dirt, and all of the sudden they’re uncovering all these potatoes under the dirt, and they just were amazed. Q. What was the importance of your experiences studying and working abroad? A. That changed my life. I was in the Peace Corps, and I think I was interested in education before going in, but when I came back it had changed how I looked at things. I felt like working with students to help them broaden their view of the world and be interested in current, global issues, new cultures and languages, and just how other people live, I think it is an essential life experience for everybody.

Middle School Math and Science Teacher Lee Block has been a recipient of a few Parents’ Association (PA) Grants in his 23 years at NSCDS, but in his 56 years of life, he had never crossed a body of water until he received a PA Grant that allowed him to visit Italy in June. PA Grants are awarded every spring to select faculty and staff to do something that they wouldn’t be able to ordinarily do on their own, and Lee called his experience “one of much personal growth.” His proposal for the Grant was to “Send Mr. Block overseas for the first time of his life,” featuring the highlights he wanted to see in Italy while representing Chicago and NSCDS through a “Flat Stanley”—style photography expedition. Lee took a cruise that included guided tours that were educational, because education was his primary goal in traveling to a foreign country. He and his wife, Theresa, spent one full day at each destination, including biking and architecture tours in Barcelona before the cruise, exploring the ruins of Pompeii, visiting the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Square in Rome, eating and drinking their way through Florence and ending the trip in a couple of stops in France. Lee fulfilled his intent to see as much as he possibly could in a limited amount of time so that he could eventually focus on one or two places he would love to visit more in-depth, culturally, in the future.

“Leonie is Leonie—so many things to so many people. In my time at North Shore, I am not sure there has been anyone more versatile, more influential, more attune and more respected than Leonie. Ask students and they will confirm they love Mrs. O’Donohoe. Parents and prospective parents will tell you that Leonie is the reason that they are here or interested in the School. Colleagues count on Leonie as a go-to person, a confidant, a source of information and wisdom and, perhaps, most importantly, as a friend. “‘I am fantastic’ is very often the response I got when I asked Leonie how she was doing. No doubt she was (and is) fantastic, but it was something about her answer, her energy and smile that always made me feel more positive as well. “Leonie has always been there when her friends and colleagues have needed her. A lasting memory for me these last few years has been Leonie’s support of our former Middle School Head La Vina Lowery, and all of us, during Daniel’s long illness. She was remarkable and, in many ways, truly inspiring. She gave so much of herself with such strength, selflessness and sensitivity. What a difference she made on so many levels.”

Bake Sale

Middle School Service Week Refugee One

The 2nd grade class held its annual bake sale in April to benefit Barnswallow and the Backyard Nature Center, organizations dedicated to the rehabilitation and protection of endangered animals and the nature that surrounds them. Students brought in baked goods to sell to the entire School and raised more than $1,500. The class also raffled off two “Duckling Crew” spots to Lower School students. Each spring, a mother duck lays and hatches her eggs in the Eldredge Patio, and the Duckling Crew assists in ushering the mother and her ducklings through the building and outdoors.

In April, the Middle School students participated in Service Week with students and teachers extending themselves on others’ behalf. Their experiences were varied and included packaging food for food banks in Illinois and for children and families in need in Africa, socializing with elders in a senior center, working with primary-age students in Chicago, preparing and serving lunch in the North Shore cafeteria and cutting buckthorn bushes at a local lagoon. Each of these experiences had a meaningful impact and learning component that students articulated when they shared these reflections with parents and faculty during Service Week presentations on April 29.

Over the Rainbow The 5th grade partnered up with members at Over the Rainbow, an organization that provides accessible housing for adults with physical disabilities. The students had a vision for using technology as a way to assist their partners on a day-to-day basis. They were extremely thoughtful in trying to create objects with the dimensions and attributes that would make them truly useful or meaningful for their partners. Students designed objects for their partners and presented the prototypes to them on June 2. Lower School Technology Integrator Jeff Shaw had the designs 3D printed so they could be given to the residents over the summer. The students also gave their partners letters about their favorite memory with Over the Rainbow and what they learned from their time together.

Thanksgiving in April The Upper School Community Service Club collected 35 boxes of food items for its annual Thanksgiving in April Food Drive, benefiting the Northfield Food Pantry. The School had held a Thanksgiving drive in November for years, but heard and witnessed the Pantry overflows with donations that time of year. However, the Pantry received almost no donations after Christmas, and by springtime, they were completely understocked. NSCDS students started holding the Thanksgiving drive in April four years ago in response to the lack of food donations that pantries receive in the spring months.

The 4th graders organized a collection of school supplies for children in the Chicago area supported by Refugee One. Among the items donated were 21 boxes of crayons from the junior kindergarden, 32 boxes of markers from senior kindergarten, 13 packs of colored pencils from 1st grade, 42 notebooks from 2nd, 47 pairs of scissors from 3rd, 132 glue sticks and 61 rulers from 4th, 4 packs of loose-leaf paper and 67 folders from 5th, and 51 highlighters, 143 pens and 300 pencils from all grades for a total of 913 supplies.

The 2nd grade play, The Adventures of Anansi the Spider, was performed at Morning Ex on April 20. The play, about a popular African folktale character, was written by a 2nd grade parent, Christina Biggs. With her permission, it was adapted by Lower School Music Teacher Linda Kiracibasi to match the performance ability of the 7- and 8-year-olds. They did a splendid job, with outstanding costuming and makeup.

v isua l a rt s Exquisite Corpse: A Surprise Collaboration The last Almquist Gallery exhibit of the 2015-16 academic year, Exquisite Corpse: A Surprise Collaboration, shared unique and whimsical creature creations made by North Shore students in JK-12. For three months, North Shore art students in the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools exchanged secret, folded drawings. The collaborative project was on display from April 15-May 20. Exquisite Corpse is a collaborative game that traces its roots to the 20th century Parisian Surrealist Movement. It is played by several individuals, each of whom writes a word or draws an image on a sheet of paper, folds the paper to conceal it, and passes it on to the next player for his or her contribution. The activity is named after the original French game, cadavre exquis. The Surrealists truly collaborated as they created texts and images.

Girls’ Soccer After a strong finish to the 2015 season, the girls’ varsity soccer team was excited about the opportunities of the 2016 season. Led by four senior captains, Lucy Fogel, Rachel Gordon, Catherine Hayward and Katie Winslow, the team compiled a 9-5-0 record this season. The season began with two early wins over Regina Domincan High School and Cristo Rey St. Marten College Prep. After a short hiatus from games because of Spring Break and poor weather, the team was back on the pitch again in mid-April with two tough losses against ISL opponents. But the team bounced back nicely, going on to win the next five games and outscoring opponents 32-5 in those games. The Raiders had a tough finish to the regular season, losing the last two games, but the highlight of the season was winning the IHSA Regional Tournament for the second year in a row by defeating both Regina Dominican High School and Rochelle Zell Jewish High School to take home the trophy. The season ended with a loss against Marian Central Catholic High School in the Sectional Semi-Final game. By the end of the season, the team scored 61 goals and finished with 6 shutouts. It was an exciting season to be a Raider and the girls are looking forward to another great season to come.

When the team returned to Winnetka, they suffered through one of the coldest and wettest April’s in Chicago history. The line-up, dominated by youth, suffered early in the season, going 2-9 over the next 11 games. But in early May, offense and defense got going and went 7-1 over the last 8 games. In the state tournament, the team won their first round game vs. Chicago Waldorf but lost in the next round to Elgin Academy 10-6. The team finished the season 10-9 overall and 4-5 in conference.

Dorie Warner Sills ’38, a very wounderful and enthusiastic North Shore alumna, died in Wilmette on Sunday, June 5. She attended North Shore Country Day School, Northampton School for Girls in Easthampton,MA and Sarah Lawrence College in New York. She married Clarence William Sills Jr. in June 1941 and was later married to Frank Ryburn Jr. of Dallas. She led an active life, from volunteer nursing during and after World War II, heading the annual Wayne Art Show and one of her favorite activities: running the annual Christmas pageant at the Little Home Church by the Wayside in Wayne. She worked as an interior decorator for a number of years. She loved Chicago and regularly attended the theater, ballet, symphony, art shows and was an avid museum-goer. She belonged to the Women’s Athletic Club, Dunham Woods Riding Club, and Lake Geneva Yacht Club. She was a devoted member of the First Congregational Church. She spent a lifetime gathering friends who remained devoted to her through thick and thin. She loved to entertain and did it often and well. Dorie wanted to be and always was at the head of the parade. She was a great story teller and wonderful poet of family events. She served as the class of 1938 class representative over many years consistently reaching out to fellow alumni to keep them connected to the School and one another. Her NSCDS stories and reflections were always filled with joy, humor and were interesting. She valued her North Shore experience and the very close bonds of friendships she developed and continued throughout her life. North Shore will truly miss her presence and will forever remember her as a special friend.

“After completing his undergraduate degree at Harvard, Larry joined the US Navy. Upon his return from service he obtained a JD degree from the University of Chicago. He was lured from the private practice of law into the business world by a major client, Bell & Howell. Later, Larry joined the Jewel Companies, where he was vice-chairman when they were taken over in 1984. “At a time when some might have chosen a well-deserved retirement, Larry began a new career. He has been Executive Director of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club since its inception in 1984. The Committee was created by individual business leaders and Chicago’s distinguished Commercial Club to help develop broad-based economic policy for the Metropolitan area. Job creation, school reform, government services and, most recently, the myriad issues surrounding Cook County Hospital are all areas which the committee is addressing. “Community service is hardly a recent interest of Larry’s. He has long been a director of Evanston Hospital and has served as a trustee and village president here in Winnetka. He has also been a director of Loyola University and United Charities. Larry’s many contributions to North Shore include service on the Board of Trustees, which he chaired for two years. He has assisted in several major fundraising campaigns and is now a Trustee of the School’s endowment fund. We previously honored him by making him a Life Trustee of the School. He and Tina have also provided four distinguished graduates. “Larry, your approach to life and your willingness to serve indeed qualify you as a role model for this or any other graduating class.” Larry remained involved with North Shore through class reunions, attending North Shore lost a very good friend and School events and supporting North alumnus with the death of Larry Howe ’38 Shore’s efforts in many ways to continue on July 31.

Traveling, gardening, and seeing friends and family also make life full and satisfying.” Julie Ferry Littlefield ’62 died on April 1, 2016. Her obituary stated, “Julie was born in Boston to parents James and Natalie Ferry and spent her childhood in Glencoe, IL with many Christmas vacations in Aspen beginning in 1956.

I am grateful for my education, experiences and lifelong friendships that are a result of The North Shore Country Day School. North Shore is embedded within my family. My mom, Anne Avery, was an anthropology and psychology teacher for seven years at North Shore; my father, Cam Avery, was a Board Member, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and is a Foster Hannaford Recipient; and my talented sister, Joanne ’90, who—like me—is also a Raider Lifer! “Lifer:” an NSCDS graduate who had the great fortune to attend NSCDS from junior kindergarten through graduation. However, Lifer to me means much more. It means I have carried my North Shore Country Day education and values of Academics, Character, Participation, Diversity, Community and Resources with me through life. North Shore has shaped who I am today as a professional, a husband, a parent, a son, a brother, a friend and an alumnus. A favorite quote of mine is from Teddy Roosevelt (who, I learned of as a result of my U.S. history class at North Shore taught by Bill Freisem). “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Through the opportunities North Shore provided me to enter many different “arenas”—the classroom, stage, athletic fields, courts and the community— NSCDS became the foundation for my professional success in the business arena. The outstanding faculty and staff created an environment where I could develop and grow, fail and succeed, learn and challenge myself to accomplish more

than I thought I was capable. Embedded within an NSCDS education is the value of hard work and persistence to overcome personal obstacles. Whether it was Michael Conroy betting on me in A.P English, a class I never thought I would be afforded the opportunity to join, let alone succeed in. Paul Dionne, Tom Doar and Beth Foster, each of whom demonstrated great patience and perseverance with me in algebra and geometry as I struggled to grasp and apply laws, rules and concepts that I have now helped tutor my own children in learning such as the Pythagorean Theorem! Jay Bach and Mac McCarty, who taught me how to play football, baseball and basketball and the importance of teamwork, leadership, putting forth your best personal effort and exemplifying good sportsmanship in victory and defeat. Linda Kiracibasi, who first introduced me to musical performance in the Lower School and who encouraged me to sing! Vin Allison and Carol Radloff, who both provided me opportunities throughout high school to build on Linda’s teachings performing in Gilbert and Sullivan shows. Equally as important, I am blessed by the lifelong friendships I developed as a result of my education and shared experiences at North Shore Country Day. Today, 43 years after I first walked through the Lower School doors, I count among my best friends in life five fellow Lifers— Ari Kogut ’87, Lauri Reagan Harris ’87, Fred Scott ’87, Joel Jacobson ’87 and Bill Bach ’87. I have had the great fortune of developing long-standing personal relationships with many other fantastic Raiders and their families. Today, almost 30 years after earning my NSCDS diploma, I have a wonderful wife, four beautiful and talented children, deep personal lifelong friendships and relationships with fellow Raiders, and I have had the great fortune to work for blue chip companies such as Kellogg’s, Coca-Cola, Wrigley and the Ferrara Candy Company. I hope I have pursued worthy causes. I know I have experienced “the triumph of high achievement” and have failed, at least at times “daring greatly.” I look forward to, and know I have the confidence and capabilities to successfully address, that which lies ahead in life as a result of my NSCDS education. Wake the Echoes!
