PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2018

From the Head’s Desk Earlier this fall, I had the pleasure of speaking to the parents who attended the Park Tudor Parents Association (PTPA) annual meeting. I was able to share the State of the School (in brief – it’s good!) as well as give some updates on some exciting things that are happening at Park Tudor. Following are some highlights:
• In September, we submitted our ISACS Reaction Report, which is a response to the ISACS Accreditation Report we received in the spring. The Reaction Report required us to report any significant changes at the school since the Accreditation Report was written, to respond to all of the ISACS Visiting Team’s major recommendations, to provide a plan for implementing the major recommendations, and to explain how the major recommendations align with our existing Strategic Plan. It also required us to review all of reports from the ISACS Sub-Committees, and either accept the recommendations from the ISACS Visiting Team in each of these areas, or provide a rationale for any recommendations we rejected. • I reported that we opened school with an enrollment of nearly 900 students, which is a significant increase over last year. Our applications for this school year also increased by close to 50. We have shifted from thinking about “Admissions” to focusing on “Enrollment Management,” which includes a major focus on preventing attrition. I am pleased to report that we have greatly reduced our attrition from a high of about 11% to about 6% this year. • We have launched a new marketing campaign, with messaging driven by market research. Our research found that parents who are likely to choose Park Tudor are motivated by long-term life success for their children – “prepare my child for success in college and beyond.” They seek a school

with a rigorous focus on academics that develops problemsolving and critical thinking skills. Our ad campaign, which you will likely see on social media, focuses on how Park Tudor prepares students for what’s next – in school, in college, and in life. • Our market research, which included a survey of Park Tudor parents, also revealed that we have a very healthy Net Promoter Score (NPS). Many companies regularly measure their NPS to determine whether their fans, or “promoters,” outweigh their detractors. The score can range anywhere from -100 to +100; anything over 0 is considered good. Park Tudor’s NPS was a 68; by comparison, Apple’s NPS is 72 and Trader Joe’s is 62. Among the competitor schools we looked at in our research, Park Tudor’s NPS is highest. • Academically, our focus is to maintain our high level of excellence, building on our program where possible. We are continuing to use mind, brain, education research to enhance teaching and learning, and are also working to address emotional and social growth in response to the increasing levels of anxiety and stress in adolescents. We are strengthening our equity and inclusion efforts, and are currently searching for a new Director of Equity & Inclusion. We are looking at our extracurricular activities to provide a robust offering for all of our students, and we are taking advantage of our new late-start schedule on Wednesdays to strengthen our professional development with meetings

before school for faculty devoted to teaching and learning. In addition, we are enhancing our student support services, updating our technology, and working hard to improve communication between faculty and parents across the board. • From a facilities standpoint, we were able to address several much-needed projects during the summer. In the Upper School, we’ve enhanced the space with paint, lighting, new carpeting and furniture, window blinds, and improved classroom technology. Ayres Auditorium has been refreshed with new seats, improved ADA seating, carpet, paint, handrails, acoustical panels, stage floor and pit cover. Our Admissions and Business Offices received a fresh new design, and we’ve created a dedicated space for our Robotics program. Finally, outside we completed work on our concrete and landscape. These renovations were paid for by a one-time grant from the Park Tudor Trust, as well as donated funds earmarked for this purpose.
• In order to execute our Campus Master Plan, we are embarking on a Capital Campaign. We are still in the “silent phase” of the Campaign, with a feasibility study underway along with meetings with potential major donors. We are encouraged that our pledges to date combined with discussions with other donors will allow us to meet our end of year goal, which is 75% of the cost of the Center for Health, Sport & Recreation. If all goes as planned, we will launch the Capital Campaign publicly for the 2020-21 school year, which would dovetail nicely with the 50th anniversary of the creation of Park Tudor through the merger of Park School and Tudor Hall.Please contact Director of Development, Kelly Lamm Teller ’87 at 317-415-2899 to learn more. It has been a busy and successful fall at Park Tudor. I have been struck so far this year by the positive energy on campus. School spirit is high among our students, parents, and faculty, and I am looking forward to building on this momentum throughout the year. As always, I welcome your thoughts and feedback.
• Work on our Campus Master Plan is continuing in earnest. As you recall, in May our Campus Master Plan was approved by the Board of Directors. The plan will be implemented in phases, with the initial phase focused on a new Center for Health, Sport & Recreation as well as a new Lower School (JK-4th). Designs for the Center are moving forward, with the goal of breaking ground in May, 2020.

IN MEMORIAM
Former Headmaster George Young Former Park Tudor Headmaster, William George Young, passed away on October 31, 2019 at age 83. He joined Park Tudor as Headmaster in the fall of 1972 from Greenhill School in Dallas. At only 36 years old, he was one of the youngest Headmasters in the history of Park Tudor and its predecessor schools. He served as Headmaster until 1986. A native of Stambaugh in the iron mining region of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, George had studied at Pennsylvania State University, Northwestern University and Northern Michigan University, earning a master’s degree in history and political science at Northern Michigan. He met his late wife, Joan, at Northern Michigan. George had spent 11 years at Greenhill School, where he taught mathematics and history and served as a coach of several sports teams. He had served as Greenhill’s director of the Middle School and director of the Upper School, which was the position he held when Park Tudor hired him as Headmaster. During George’s time as Headmaster, Park Tudor grew its enrollment, endowment and physical presence. Retired faculty member Debbie Stuart Everett ’69 remembers, “In 1979, George came to an alumni board meeting to plug a new position he was creating to expand the admissions office staff and, therefore, enrollment. As a result, he hired me for that position. Within two or three years his strategy paid off as we enrolled 700 students, the largest enrollment since the merger.” When George first came on board at Park Tudor, the campus needed physical improvements and building the endowment was crucial to this endeavor. Art classes were still being held in a small wooden frame building inherited from Lilly Orchard, and theatre productions were performed “in the round” in the Apple Barn, the former site of cider and apple sales. In 1974, George helped launch Park Tudor’s first development capital campaign to address long-term facility needs, with a goal of raising $2.25 million to construct classrooms and an auditorium, to increase the endowment and to improve athletic facilities. Thanks in part to lead gifts from the Ayres family and the Krannert Charitable Trust, the campaign easily met its goal of raising $2.25 million by June 1975. Groundbreaking for the Ayres Auditorium and adjacent Fine Arts building also took place that summer, and the building was dedicated in November 1976.

Said Park Tudor’s Director of Fine Arts Emeritus, John Williams, “During my early years I could go to George with new ideas for growing the Fine Arts programming and always found him willing to listen and discuss. When I insisted a room in the new Multi-Purpose Building/Fine Arts Building be designated for instrumental music, he responded thoughtfully, ‘But we don’t have a band!’ I remember assuring him by saying, ‘We will.’ Determining the size of the auditorium was another important PARK TUDOR PHOENIX FALL 2019
decision. In 1974, the size of the Upper School was about half of what it is today. We were building for the future, and decided on a seating number that was nearly double the size of the Upper School at that time. George acknowledged great teaching and celebrated it. His open mindedness and shared vision allowed the Arts to flourish during those important and crucial years he served the school as Headmaster.” George continued to spearhead fundraising efforts for the school, building the endowment through the 1970s and into the 1980s. Under Young’s leadership, Park Tudor added a kindergarten in 1978 and enrollment continued to grow, particularly in the Lower School. Due to the growing endowment, the school was able to offer increasing amounts of financial aid. After a 14-year tenure, George Young resigned at the end of the 1985-1986 school year. In addition to his contributions to Park Tudor, George was devoted to his family—his late wife, Joan, and his daughter, Cara Young Barretto ’93. Recalls Debbie Everett, “Where relationship building was concerned, it was always George and Joan. Together they brought a sense of family to the staff and faculty as well as to the students and alumni. The birth of their daughter Cara was celebrated campus wide as a pink flag was raised on the flagpole. I loved the faculty gatherings at their home or in the Commons, which were congenial and always fun, often lasting into the wee hours of the night. At faculty dinners at the end of the year, he and Joan would always make their way to each table to greet us.” We extend our condolences to his daughter Cara Young Barretto ’93, son-in-law Rick Barretto, granddaughters Hope Barretto ’32 and Faith Barretto, and many other loving family members and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to Park Tudor School in George’s memory.

For the fourth year, Park Tudor partnered with the Heartland Film Festival as part of the Janet Flanner Visiting Artist Series. Through the partnership, students in grades 9-11 enjoyed a visit on October 11 from filmmaker Julie Sokolow, whose full feature documentary, Barefoot: The Mark Baumer Story, made its World Premiere at Heartland Film Festival. Julie introduced some of her film shorts, her feature documentary and discussed what it takes to be a filmmaker for social issues. Seniors traveled to AMC Castleton Theater to screen film shorts submitted to the festival by filmmakers from around the world. The Janet Flanner Visiting Artist Series, a vital component of Connecting Classroom, Campus and Community, is designed to provide students with opportunities to have direct and meaningful contact with working artists. Always insightful, these discussions provide an opportunity to meet the artists and learn firsthand about their ideations, inspirations, and techniques. About Janet Flanner: Janet Flanner was a member of the Tudor Hall class of 1909, and became well-known as a member of the "Lost Generation" of writers and author of the beloved "Letters from Paris" column in The New Yorker magazine.
Fifth Graders Experiment with Circle Gardens As part of the Environment unit in 5th grade science, students study germination of plants and environmental factors that might affect change in plant growth (particularly crop plants) over time. While students create specific plant experiments indoors, they are now also expanding the lesson by planting in the circle gardens in the Lower School Courtyard Garden. This year, the students were fortunate to have PT dad Luca Bonini donate a special organic plant food (primarily mycorrhiza, a naturally occurring fungus) from his company, Italpollina. After students researched seeds to plant in the fall, they set up an experiment for a variety of radishes, kale, spinach, beets, and lettuces. Half of the circle gardens were planted with

the mycorrhiza and half had regular soil. Students have been collecting data through the fall and will continue to observe the circle gardens in the coming weeks. The students are amazed at the difference in growth. Mr. Bonini gave a presentation to the fifth graders, with more information about the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhiza and the roots of their plants. He also shared with them the exciting possible future opportunity of growing plants on the moon and maybe even on Mars.

Upper School Debate Team Starts Park Tudor Speaker Series Successful Season Sponsored by The National Bank of Indianapolis Welcomed Peter Gray The Debate Team made the long journey up to the Chicago area on October 5 to compete in its first contest of the year - the Munster High School All-Novice Tournament. Six Novice debaters did amazingly well competing in their first tournaments. The team placed five debaters in the top eight in their respective events, including a first and second place sweep in Public Forum debate for Clara Skovronsky & Audrey Wang and Chloe English & Pooja Krishnan, respectively. Emma Scifres also took fourth place in Student Congress and freshman Walker Gollapudi earned valuable experience in Lincoln-Douglas debate, arguing whether or not universities should consider standardized tests in their admissions procedures. Later in October, the US Debate Team took 5th place sweepstakes team trophies at two tournaments - the annual Ben Davis Debate Tournament and the Munster High School Varsity-Novice Meet. The latter is the largest regular season tournament in Indiana with more than a hundred competitors from around the state. A large part of the debate team’s success so far this year has been due to the performance of varsity Lincoln-Douglas debater and rising star Audrey Pan, who took 6th place overall at Ben Davis and 2nd place at Munster. To place 2nd at the Munster meet, Audrey had to score higher than 22 of the best debaters in Indiana. Rex Burkman also won a match and placed 10th at Ben Davis in this difficult event. Also at Ben Davis, Kate Fryburg and Jordan Pecar went undefeated (4-0) and took first place in novice Public Forum Debate, a two-on-two format where they argued the pros and cons of the European Union joining the Chinese BELT and ROAD Initiative. Two weeks later at Munster, they placed 3rd in the same event, besting 16 other teams. Fellow public forum teams Pooja Krishnan & Audrey Wang and Walker Gollapudi & Aaron Gu tied for 5th place at Ben Davis (and had to fight over the ribbon!), while duos Arjun Kubal & Henry Wolfla and Lauren Kittle & Lauren Long both won their first matches as varsity teams.

We were pleased to welcome author Peter Gray on November 4 as part of the Park Tudor Speaker Series Sponsored by The National Bank of Indianapolis. Peter presented Play Deficit Disorder: A National Crisis and How to Solve It Locally for PT parents and the general public. Research in the United States has revealed a dramatic decline in children’s free play—especially their free outdoor play—over the past several decades. This decline in play has been accompanied by dramatic increases in childhood depression and anxiety and by dramatic declines in creativity, internal locus of control, and psychological resilience. In his talk, Peter presented the logic and evidence behind his claim that the decline in free play is a, if not the, major cause of these deleterious effects on children’s wellbeing. He described some of the social forces that have led to the decline of play and suggested ways through which families, schools, neighborhoods, and communities can restore children’s opportunities for free play. Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology at Boston College who has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education. He is the author of an internationally acclaimed introductory psychology textbook (Psychology, Worth Publishers, now in its 8th edition), which views all of psychology from an evolutionary perspective. His recent research focuses on the role of play in human evolution and how children educate themselves, through play and exploration, when they are free to do so. He has expanded on these ideas in his book, Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life (Basic Books). He also authors a regular blog called Freedom to Learn, for Psychology Today magazine. He is a founding member and president of the nonprofit Alliance for Self-Directed Education (ASDE), which is aimed at creating a world in which children’s natural ways of learning are facilitated rather than suppressed. He is also a founding board director of the nonprofit Let Grow, the mission of which is to renew children’s freedom to play and explore outdoors, independently of adults. He earned his undergraduate degree at Columbia College and Ph.D. in biological sciences at the Rockefeller University.

Park Tudor Announces Habitat for Humanity Build in 2020 One of many events in support of the 50th anniversary of the merger of Park School and Tudor Hall in 2020, Park Tudor will sponsor a Habitat for Humanity build scheduled for the fall. Led by students Carly Weigel and Ethan Kacena-Merrell, Park Tudor will raise money to support the build and will coordinate shifts of volunteers to work on the home located in the Mapleton - Fall Creek neighborhood of Indianapolis. Fundraising efforts will start in the spring, with a goal of raising $85,000. As in years past, there will also be volunteer opportunities for students, faculty, parents and alumni. This will be the ninth Habitat for Humanity build that the school has sponsored. “We are thrilled to partner with Habitat for Humanity again,” said Amy Kerr, Director of Community Engaged Learning at Park Tudor. “Particularly as we celebrate a milestone anniversary, it is important that we continue our role as fully engaged members of the Indianapolis community.” Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity seeks to transform lives by partnering with families, individuals and communities to create and preserve affordable housing solutions. The benefits of their program extend beyond housing to support both the community and homeowners’ well-being. Few communities are untouched by the effects of poverty. Greater Indy is no different. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, nearly 20% of Marion County residents are in poverty, which the federal government defined in 2010 as a household income of $22,314 or less for a family of four. A major barrier to breaking the cycle of poverty is homeownership. Owning a home is a significant means in helping provide a stable quality of life for low-income families and individuals. For some though, decent, affordable homeownership is out of reach. In Indiana, the average hourly wage necessary to afford a two-bedroom FMR unit is $14.03; more than half of Hoosier renters (52%) cannot afford the fair market rate, according to an Indiana 211 Partnership Community Report. In our community many are paying more than they can afford for housing, not leaving enough for other necessities like good nutrition, health care, transportation, education or saving for the future. Look for more information in the coming months as fundraising efforts and planning for the build begin.

As is typical with the game of golf, the players had some good days and some not so good days, but the girls showed a lot of grit and determination and had fun along the way. The Panthers were led by freshman Sia Patel, followed by sophomores Mary Kate Tanselle, and Audrey Wang who battled each other all season for the second and third positions on the team. Freshman Ryann Brock competed hard all season and showed consistent improvement to earn the fourth spot. Sophomore Isabel Goodwin and freshman Liviya Larman rounded out the varsity roster in the fifth and sixth positions providing some much-needed scoring depth for their teammates. The girls showed great character and steadily improved throughout the season. While the team was not able to advance from Sectionals as a group, Sia Patel was able to move on to Regionals as an individual player. That accomplishment combined with her All County and All Conference honors made for a very successful individual campaign for Patel. We look forward to a bright future for the Park Tudor girls golf team!

With an overall 4-7 record, the Panthers made major strides in their performance this year on the field. Looking at the team’s growth, first-year Head Coach Spencer Summerville ’06 observed, “Progress is good, but it means nothing if we don’t keep going. We’re on our way and can’t stop now.” Anchored by just five seniors on the 33 man roster, the team is very positive about their future prospects. Junior quarterback Reece Kizer lead the team in both passing and rushing. Sophomores CJ Thompson and Aaron Roach led the team in receptions and tackles, respectively. Park Tudor boasted a +6 Turnover/Takeaway margin. Statistical leaders in passing, rushing, receptions, tackles, field goals, and punting will all be returning next year. Of the eight players who made starts on the offensive line, six will be back. Highlights for the year include wins versus Anderson Prep, Greencastle, Indiana Deaf and Oldenburg Academy. The game against Oldenburg was the Homecoming game, and the Panthers won it by a score of 28-24. This was only the team's second Homecoming win in a the last 15 years. Sophomore Captain Ty Lewis looked back at the victory with a smile on his face and noted, “When the student body rushed the field to celebrate, it was awesome.” The team's plan moving forward is to recreate that feeling, over and over.

Annual Report
ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends of Park Tudor, The following 2018-2019 Annual Report recognizes the generosity of more than 1,200 donors to Park Tudor. These donors include current and past parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty and staff. Your gifts provide tangible support for the school’s mission to provide an exceptional education and extraordinary opportunities to all our students. We are pleased to recognize the generosity of all our donors on the following pages. In addition to their own generous financial support, many parents, alumni and faculty volunteer at events and other fundraisers throughout the year to encourage others to support the school. I’d like to highlight a few of these efforts: • In February, a committee of 14 parent volunteers planned and hosted the first “Uncorked,” a fundraiser to benefit the Park Tudor Annual Fund. This sold-out event was held at the world-famous Pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. More than 150 guests enjoyed an evening sampling fine wine from around the world, a live auction featuring one-of-a kind prizes and experiences, and the opportunity to take a “hot lap” around the IMS road course. This special evening raised more than $50,000 for the Annual Fund. • In April, Park Tudor welcomed more than 500 alumni to campus for Reunion Weekend. Thanks to the energy and creativity of event planner Anne Rogers Mitchell ’85, along with other alumni volunteers, we were able to bring all reunion events to campus for the first time in many years. As part of the weekend, members of the Tudor Hall class of 1969 dedicated a handcrafted sun dial which they presented to the school as their reunion year gift. • All three auxiliary parent organizations – the Park Tudor Parents’ Association, Booster Club and Fine Arts Guild – successfully created opportunities for parents to connect through signature events and volunteer opportunities. These often “behind-the-scenes” volunteers spend countless hours helping to ensure our faculty and students are prepared and supported in the classroom, on the field or on the stage. Beyond raising funds for the school’s programs and operations, the development office also maintains connections with Park Tudor alumni around the world. Last year, the school hosted an alumni reception in Chicago, and dinners for recent graduates at Indiana University, Purdue University, Notre Dame, DePauw and Wabash. Our Alumni Association also hosted their annual professional networking event in May, and a social evening at Top Golf. We are grateful to all our alums who took the time to join us to socialize, reconnect, and share memories of Park Tudor; we extend a special thanks to all who braved the Polar Vortex during our Chicago visit! And, my thanks to the members of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association who provide critical leadership for all our efforts to engage with alumni. On behalf of the entire school community, I offer my sincere thanks to all of you for your generous financial contributions, and for the additional gifts of your time and talents in support of the mission of Park Tudor. With gratitude, Kelly Lamm Teller ’87 Director of Development

Alumni Feature: Jason Sondhi ’01 Forges His Path as a Successful Entrepreneur By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87
Jason Sondhi ’01 founded his IT consulting company, Sondhi Solutions, in 2009. The company has been named by Inc. 5000 as one of the “Fastest Growing Private Companies,” and Jason has been recognized in the Indianapolis Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” list. I recently sat down with Jason to discuss what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.

Jason Sondhi ’01
Tell me about your company. Sondhi Solutions is an IT service provider, and that means we provide both IT solutions and resources for organizations. Depending on the client, we can serve as the IT department for small companies, and for larger companies we can assist their IT departments in implementing various projects. We work with State and Federal governments, healthcare and life sciences companies, utilities – a variety of entities both big and small. I always say that our product is our people, so we strive to create a great corporate culture with many opportunities for ongoing education and a family atmosphere. How did you decide to start your own business? I was always interested in technology. I spent some time working in Governor Daniels’s administration, and that gave me an exposure to a lot of different businesses. Eventually I decided to go out on my own. Sondhi Solutions has grown to work with so many different companies; that always keeps it interesting and fuels my entrepreneurial spirit. And, we continue to branch
out – we’ve recently launched a separate company focused on cybersecurity, called SecureUp. SecureUp does cyber threat consulting, keeping track of cybersecurity trends and helping companies monitor and combat cyber attacks. What are the most challenging and satisfying aspects of being an entrepreneur? The most challenging part is never being completely satisfied. Your company is your passion – it’s part of your life – so it’s a real challenge to take a break. The most satisfying aspect for me is the relationships that I’ve developed. It’s gratifying to build relationships with clients and help them develop their businesses on a daily basis, and I also really appreciate the relationships I’ve developed with my team – they’ve become like family.

learned to connect with a variety of different people at Park Tudor, and formed a great network. Once I got out into the business world, I realized that a lot of people that I wanted to work with have a connection to Park Tudor. Who were some of your favorite teachers at Park Tudor? Definitely Mr. Fumusa (college counselor and Upper School social studies teacher), and also Mr. Holbrook – he got me interested in math in Middle School. Also, Dr. Sharpless (Upper School English) encouraged out-of-the-box thinking. And I loved Mr. Ayres (former Middle School Director and English teacher). What’s next for Sondhi Solutions? Jason with his wife, Jessica, and children Ava, Maya and Kason
We’re expanding nationally – we have offices in Phoenix and Washington, DC, and we’re looking at opening other offices around the country.
What advice do you have for Park Tudor students who might be interested in becoming an entrepreneur? I would advise them to reach out to everyone in their network, but with direction. Don’t be afraid to ask for – and receive – pointed advice. You will be amazed at how many people want to help; you just have to be willing to reach out and talk about what you would like to do. In addition, don’t be afraid of risk. I’ve learned the most from taking risks. Finally, be sure to always follow up. If you don’t follow up with the people that you meet with, you never know what you might miss. How did your experience at Park Tudor give you the tools to become a successful entrepreneur? Park Tudor really pushes you to be well-rounded. Not only did I learn technical skill sets; I also learned soft skill sets. I think the focus in tech has shifted from STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to STEAM – with the addition of the arts, too. At Park Tudor, that’s always been the case. I also

Reflections on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip to China BY CAROLE SIMMONS, RETIRED PARK TUDOR TEACHER
Travel is a key factor in remaining a lifelong learner. It stretches the mind as aerobics stretches the body. Young, old, or in between, a plethora of knowledge awaits the openminded tourist. Whether one travels near, far or in between is a matter of choice and circumstance. This summer I fulfilled a lifetime desire of “vacationing” in China. My husband and I were fortunate to travel part of the time with our son, Peter, his wife, and our three granddaughters. Pete is a 1994 graduate of Park Tudor, and his daughters all attend Park Tudor. Ashley is in the seventh grade, Livia is in the fourth, and Annabelle is in senior kindergarten. They asked questions like, “Why do they drink snake juice? Why don’t old women want their picture taken? Why do so many people want to take our picture?”
Realizing that a world of differences awaits one, both anxiety and excitement fight for top billing. Leaving one’s comfort zone is an understatement for this trip. We were regularly exposed to a culture and environment vastly different from the familiar. Perhaps for children it is less threatening to face a different currency, food, language, transportation, bathroom facilities, and customs, because they are not responsible for mundane activities. However, for them, not being able to read even the letters of an alphabet was unnerving. For the adults, a main adjustment was the driving. Who would have thought the shoulder was an express lane? In addition, the car horn is used for an entirely different reason than it is here. In China, it is a warning that the driver is indifferent to any traffic signs or signals. It is in your best interest to get out of the way, because he is coming through or turning regardless of any posted information to the contrary.

FEATURE most famous being the Shanghai Tower. A day trip took them to West Lake in Hangzhou, which Marco Polo called “The City of Heaven, the most beautiful and magnificent in the world.” A second day trip took them to Zhouzhuang, called the “Venice of the East.” There are several villages just west of Shanghai that were built on canals, as there are many wetlands and lakes west of Shanghai. A special day for the girls was a trip to Shanghai’s Disneyland. This day was in the running as “best day ever.” Their favorite evening activity was the Shanghai Acrobatics performance. From Shanghai they journeyed to Ping’an Village, which is along the hills of the Longsheng Rice Terraces. The village was settled by two brothers centuries ago, and most of the residents share the same last surname. These terraces are a geometric art form that are uniquely irrigated. From there they flew into Guilin, home of the magical mountains. They stayed in Yangshou, a resort town, and took a cruise on the Li River through the picturesque karst Mountains. It was quite the scene in the hotel lobby when we met up with them in Hong Kong. After 10 days of not seeing any familiar faces, Nana and Granddad were a very welcome sight. Our first morning in Hong Kong we walked the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, offering an abundance of spectacular views of Victoria Harbor. It winds along the waterfront in Kowloon from the Clock Tower to the Star Ferry Terminal. The afternoon was spent strolling through the Nan Lian Gardens. It, like most gardens in China, are true works of art beyond expectations. The beauty of this garden’s landscaping is enhanced by a temple, waterfalls, hills, rocks, and wooden buildings.
Pete did extensive research arranging the itinerary and what was essential as far as communication, reservations, and transportation. Everyone added VPN, Google Translator, WeChat, Didi, and ApplePay to phones. These were useful in the modern cities of Shanghai and Hong Kong, but essential in Beijing and areas away from cities. A trip like this on one’s own would not have been feasible without phones connected to the Internet. One example of this necessity was a flight delay from Beijing to Shanghai, causing Pete and family to miss their return flight to O’Hare. He then had to translate and text through airport security and airport staff for three hours before he was able to find someone to help him locate acceptable accommodations for his family that evening. Their journey began ten days prior to ours in Shanghai, a very modern, wealthy, and progressive city. They enjoyed the activities, shopping on the Bund side, and sights of this gorgeous city. In the part of Shanghai known as Pudong, two of the tallest buildings in the world (#2 and #11) reside, the

The following day was devoted to Lantau Island. We took a tour which first stopped at an overlook of the Tsing ma Bridge, which is the world’s 11th longest suspension bridge. It is reminiscent of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. Our next stop was Tai o Village, which is known for its small houses built on stilts over the water. It is still an industrial fishing village, but it represents a bygone era. Interestingly, the people refuse to give up this way of life, but according to experts, their days are numbered. We were then treated to lunch at the Po Lin Monastery, which became a popular attraction when the Tian Tan Buddha statue, also known as the Big Buddha, was erected. Our tour ended with a 25-minute ride down the mountain in the Ngong Ping cable car. While we basically all did the same things, we did them separately. The one day we spent together in Hong Kong was at Disneyland. The girls said there were slight variations between Shanghai’s and Hong Kong’s parks, but Hong Kong received top marks. It had smaller crowds, shorter lines, and Nana and Granddad. Our day ended in the all-American way— dinner at McDonald’s. Our final afternoon in Hong Kong was devoted to shopping at Stanley Market, a bargain hunter’s haven. The evening found us at the top of Victoria’s Peak, Hong Kong’s highest point. It offers a must-see view of the city’s skyline. The area also has
FEATURE
numerous unique boutiques and excellent restaurants. The Peak Tram, which also offers excellent views, had just reopened after extensive work, so we were fortunate to ride it both up and down. Beijing was our next stop. Our flight arrived late afternoon, and by the time we were settled, rain had settled in for the evening. Even though Sam and I braved trying a variety of Chinese food items, we were quite happy with the restaurant we found just an archway away from out hotel. We were regular diners at, of all places, Molly Malone’s. Our first full day took us to the Great Wall, and the rain had not abated. Disappointed, we left for the Summer Palace, which is exquisite. Even though the rain continued, we were able to fully appreciate the grandeur of days gone by. It is a testament to the opulence of past dynasties with its 2.9 square kilometers of lakes, gardens, and palaces.
It was necessary to revisit the Great Wall the next day, when the weather was gorgeous. The richness of China’s history and culture is evident throughout the country, but it peaks at the Great Wall. As I walked, and watched my three granddaughters walk along the Great Wall, I was consumed by imagining the back-breaking labor that was involved in its construction. Not far from my mind was the necessity to learn about the conquests that took place throughout centuries along these same paths. Our final day in Beijing found us at Tiananmen Square, where the past is quite familiar to us, but not to the younger Chinese population. It is not a subject for conversation or discussion. Tiananmen Square is across the street from the Forbidden City, which was the only place in China we visited that required us to have our passports and registration prior to arrival and admittance. It is basically a mini city. It is the largest palace complex and is comprised of more than 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings, and 9,000 rooms. It was the home of 24 Chinese emperors for over 500 years. The design seemed redundant to me, and as a consequence, it seemed to go on forever. I’m certain the heat played a factor in this frustration. Each time we went into a new area, we thought we were coming to the exit. Nonetheless, it is a must see for the firsttime tourist. The girls were treated to fun time at Jingshan Park after their tour. They were always fortunate to find playmates. That evening, our last in China, found us shopping, and the thrill was to finish using all of our yuan. Both cities we visited were progressive, modern, and lacked courteous drivers. They were also more prosperous than their neighboring rural areas. A major difference in the two cities was the use of a credit card. They are not widely accepted in Beijing. Throughout China, the people were extremely courteous and more than willing to be helpful. They went out of their way to be kind, and these were not people who would benefit from the tourist dollar. There were differences we observed in the people of the two cities, though. In Hong Kong almost everyone spoke English, whereas in Beijing it was not as likely to find those who spoke English. In Hong Kong people were very open with their opinions, and seemed quite resilient. Beijing’s people were much more reserved and resigned. The people in Hong Kong also seemed more carefree and lighthearted. Even though there were protests going on, they did not interfere with the flow of life while we were there. Please realize that all opinions are based on personal experiences, and naturally those experiences were limited. Embrace travel and take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. It is the window to the world. Open it as often and as wide as you can, and breathe the fresh air. Travel speaks to the soul. Regardless of the challenges one encounters, it is encouraging to realize differences are not a cause for fear or dislike, but they are avenues to understanding and accepting the possibility that one day the world will grow and prosper by living and working together in peace.

Alumni News This past October, the Alumni Board hosted its fourth annual pumpkin carving event at the Lilly Orchard where several alumni and current PT families enjoyed an afternoon of Fall fun. The Fall gathering has grown each year along with alumni attendance at home football games and tailgates. Go Panthers! The 2019-2020 Alumni Board is excited to announce the launch of a student-led grant opportunity for current Park Tudor students. The grant initiative will allow Park Tudor classes, organized groups, clubs and individual students, at every grade level, the opportunity to earn funding directly from the Alumni Board for academic, community or other extracurricular undertakings. This grant initiative will further foster Park Tudor’s long-standing tradition of experiential learning while raising awareness to students, our future alumni, of the Park Tudor family’s commitment to their success.
Greetings from Your Alumni Board President I am honored to be the new Park Tudor Alumni Board president and appreciate the support and encouragement I have received from past president, Beth Tolbert Johnson ’03. The Alumni Association, which dates back to the days of Park School and Tudor Hall, has remained vital with an active base of Park Tudor students, faculty and more than 4,500 alumni around the world. The Alumni Board has strengthened alumni engagement this year through several successful events. We hosted a professional networking event downtown, a social gathering at Top Golf and meet and greets in Chicago, Naples, and Washington D.C. Head of School Gareth Vaughan, along with faculty and staff, have visited many of our young alumni at Notre Dame, DePauw, Wabash, Purdue and Indiana University. The attendance at these events is evident of the lifelong connections Park Tudor instills in its community members.

Finally, the Alumni Board intends to place more focus on service within the community, working in conjunction with the Park Tudor Community Engaged Learning program. From coordinating a blood drive to helping on a Habitat for Humanity build, we want to encourage community service among alumni. I invite you to stay connected with the Park Tudor community through events and online portals. Alumni Weekend is April 24 and 25, 2020 and a great time to visit campus. You can update your contact information and share big news at parktudor.org/ alumni and connect via the LinkedIn Park Tudor Alumni Group, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. As we embark on the 50th anniversary of Park Tudor School, I strongly encourage you to consider how Park Tudor has impacted you and how you can help further that impact for another 50 years by supporting the Annual Fund. All gifts provide crucial support that goes to work immediately, aiding students, teachers and programming. Make your gift at parktudor.org/give.
