Summit Support
2013 2014
A Message from the Head of School Dear Summit Friends, Family and Community, Each child brings distinctive potential and a unique voice to Summit. We cherish that individuality, and our faculty is committed to discovering each child’s gifts. Your philanthropy—literally your enduring expression of love for Summit’s students and community—helps Summit School deliver on our mission to develop the full potential of each child. Thank you.

A Message from the Head of School As you read the articles and peruse the images in this issue of Summit Support, what do you notice? I marvel at a Summit School lexicon that emerges in the language of our alums and that is embodied in the photographs of our current students. In these pages we read about and see potential, enthusiasm, joy, academic foundation, persistence, generations, individual attention, encouragement, service, hands-on experience, focus, transformation, innovation, scholarship, STEAM, philanthropy, leadership, tradition, paying it forward, focus, serious study, entrepreneurship. The list goes on. The words and images throughout these pages tell an enduring story about the deep roots and the far reach of Summit School—a story that inspires both gratitude and pride. For eighty-one years, across four generations, Summit School has known that confidence is essential for academic achievement and lifelong success. Equally important, and from Summit’s earliest days in a rented home on Summit Street, our educators have understood that the best way to ignite a child’s confidence is to build sturdy competence. This hard-won confidence is evident not only in the reflections of our alums (“for Jane Gehring ’60 the Summit experience set the foundation for high school, college and beyond”) but in the words of our youngest students: “In some schools you have to sit at a desk all day. At Summit you get to do stuff.” Do stuff, indeed—stuff that leads to graduates who are prepared, honorable, curious, accepting and socially responsible. As educators we ask ourselves this question, “How can Summit School prepare our children for a future we can scarcely imagine, much less predict?” Our answer is this: We inspire our students to be architects of their future. We call this inspiring learning. Thank you for all that you do to make a transformational experience possible for every Summit child. Sincerely,

Alum Profile
Jane Gehring ’60
Jane Gehring ’60 was part of a historic class at Summit. She was one of seven students to enroll in the first Ninth Grade class. For Gehring, the experience set the foundation for high school, college and beyond. “What impressed me the most was the class size, the individual encouragement and the attention,” she said. “With such small classes, you could not be unprepared.” She was one of five students at Old Town School, who were recruited by Summit to be part of the class. The other two students were already enrolled at Summit. Summit gave Gehring a scholarship, for which she was grateful. A few years ago, she told her husband, John, that she would like to start supporting Summit as a way to repay the opportunities she enjoyed at the school. “We have tried throughout our married life to encourage young people,” she said. “We feel like education is so very, very, important now with all the competition and technology.” Gehring had also attended Summit for First Grade. Her birthday was past the cut-off to enroll in public school, but her parents felt she was ready to start school. She said that having that first year at Summit gave her a good foundation for the following seven grades. Returning to Summit for Ninth Grade set Gehring’s course for all of the serious study that followed. She remembers being in a play, The 13 Clocks. She didn’t consider herself an actress, and initially wasn’t happy about her role, but in Summit tradition, she learned that she could succeed, even when she moved outside her comfort zone. She took Latin from Louise Futtrell and Ancient History from Doug Lewis. She read Virgil’s Aeneid in English and found that good preparation for having to read the same classic in Latin when she was a Reynolds High School student.
“What impressed me the most was the class size, the individual encouragement and the attention.” Gehring went on to major in psychology at Agnes Scott College. She married her husband, John, a lawyer, in 1972. She graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1980, and practiced law briefly with her husband, who has maintained an office in Walnut Cove for many years. She and her husband have no children, but they have a number of godchildren, who are now grown and scattered across the country. She enjoys the thought of her gift to Summit going to support a new generation of children. “John and I have always felt that education is the most important thing a child can have,” she said, “other than parental guidance. In this day and age, people need to be prepared.”

Grandparent Profile
Lynn Eisenberg ’61 Eisenberg said, “I’m thrilled that we’ve had three generations there.” Eisenberg’s daughter has followed her mother onto Summit’s Board and has also served on the Parents’ Association. As co-chairs of the Annual Fund Grandparents’ Division, Eisenberg and her husband, Barry, enjoy spreading the word about the school’s creative, yet nurturing environment. They also believe it’s important to let people know that tuition doesn’t cover all of the expenses involved in attending the school. Her time at Summit was a happy one, Eisenberg said. She recaptures that sense of happiness when she walks the halls at Summit today and attends events. “You’re stimulated by the children’s reactions to learning,” she said. “When you go to the ball games, you see the children and grandparents supporting each other.” While she was at the school, she saw her favorite teacher, Sarah Shore, marry Dalton Ruffin.
When Lynn Eisenberg’s daughter, Jennifer Grosswald ’85, was living in Atlanta, Grosswald complained to Sandra Adams, Summit’s Head of School at the time, that there was no place like Summit in Atlanta. “Sandra said to Jennifer, ‘Let us have your children.’” Jennifer and her husband, Paul Grosswald, moved back to Winston-Salem and enrolled both of their children at Summit. Gavin ’13 recently graduated from Summit and Alex ’15 is entering Ninth Grade.
“As a mother, it’s wonderful to see your daughter, of her own free will, follow in your footsteps.”

The Eisenbergs and the Ruffins have stayed in each other’s lives. Barry Eisenberg has worked with the Ruffins’ son, John, on some business projects. “It’s all about networking and connections and growing up and being able to see this third generation at Summit School,” she said. “I feel like Summit was this incredible community that we wished for and received for our family.” People don’t always recognize the good that a strong sense of community can accomplish, she said. “I believe in community,” she said. “It helps develop your identity. Working with others helps us determine who we are and what we can do with the talents we have.”

ANNUAL FUND VOLUNTEERS 2013-2014
ALUM ANNUAL FUND Because of you, Summit educators build a sturdy confidence in each student Every day, Summit’s world-class faculty provides the highest level of expertise in their field, a well-honed sense of what each child needs, and a deep personal capacity for inspiring learning. The Douglas family, Marian ’69, Sandlin ’94, Dixon ’99 and Wilson ’04, invited alums to help support the educators who build a sturdy confidence and you responded! The results speak for themselves and demonstrate that Summit alums are proud of this educational institution. The average gift from alums was $256 – which is 10% higher than the previous year! Gifts to the Annual Fund provide about four percent of the school’s operating budget each year. These unrestricted gifts help meet immediate needs, develop relevant new programs and sustain the vitality of students’ academic experience. Response from alums is extremely gratifying because it indicates a Summit education is valued long after graduation. In addition, alum donations support the financial aid program. The Alumni Scholarship Fund was founded in 1997 with a challenge from the Lovett Foundation. It provides aid to students with demonstrated financial need. To date, alum dollars assist nearly two students per year. If you are interested in helping with alumni fundraising, please contact Sarah Dalrymple at sarahd@summitmail.org or by calling 336-724-5811. Want to find alums in your area? Download the official Summit Alumni App (from the App Store, search for Summit School or Evertrue). For more information, see page 39. Also, be sure to visit www.summitschool.com and log on to the Alumni Portal so that you can read up-to-date class notes and find email addresses of classmates. Stay in touch and share college information, honors, new addresses,

Class of 2014 Gives Back Kay D. King ’83 delivered the following message to the Class of 2014 during a breakfast on June 4 to kick off graduation week. The spirit of philanthropy and service permeated the day: the class presented a grant of $2,500 to Exchange/SCAN as the culmination of the Lovett Foundation 9th Grade Philanthropy Project (see photo) and then conducted area service-projects throughout Winston-Salem. To commemorate their appreciation for Summit, the Class of 2014 chose to “pay it forward” with a class gift that will support next year’s 9th grade trip to Costa Rica. • • • Good morning and congratulations to the class of 2014. I am Kay D. Burress King, class of 1983. I want to welcome our newest group to the Summit alumni family… OR the newest survivors of the 9th grade speech! The Summit alumni family is a terrific group to be a part of. When we look back on our time at Summit, we quickly think about our special friendships we’ve made and our unbelievable learning experiences.

How many of you started Summit in Kindergarten? Lower school? Upper school? You may not realize this, but this is where you’ve learned about friendships and how to navigate through them. As little guys/girls, you start playing side-by-side. Then you learn group play and how to share. You learn things like empathy and how to cope with hurt feelings and disappointment. You also learn sportsmanship–how to be a gracious winner and/or loser. All through the years, together this group has experienced the highs and lows of growing up. When you all gather for your reunions, you will look back on this time and these people with such fondness. Time will seem like it has barely passed. Summit has a way of bonding your friendships for forever. Really, all of the Summit alumni bond in a way. We share a similar education, experiences and traditions. We all speak the same language: Does that teacher still teach
there?, Native American Day, Pioneer Day, wonderful plays and sings, Washington, D.C., 9th grade speech, Orange or Green Team? But what’s even cooler than continuing our past traditions are the extraordinary programs that progress here. Robotics, gardens, rocket launchers, Costa Rica! Not to down play my exchange experience in Henderson, NC, Costa Rica it was not! One of the things I like most is the community service program. In your community service program, you learned to give your time, talent and effort. I bet you also applied one of the biggest lessons they taught you in kindergarten: Leave things better than you found them so the next person can share the same experience. At Summit, we like to make the school experience even better for the next generation. You’ve been a student here (for some of you) the last 11 years. You probably are not aware of how these great programs come to life. It starts with a vision, or a necessity, or a hope for the school. Unfortunately, your tuition dollars do not cover the general costs. It’s the extra giving dollars from parents, grandparents, businesses in the community, our faculty, our staff and the alums. They all make it happen! Making it happen… is what it is to be a Summit alum! You give your time, talent and money to help LEAD… NOT just leave Summit in a better place for other generations to come. I hope that when Summit calls on you, you all will feel the way I do. This is where it all began… the friendships, the great education and fun experiences. And, you too, will want to lead Summit to a better place than you left it. You will be surprised how many of you will want your children to attend this wonderful school. And they too… will have to survive the 9th grade speech!
Making it happen… is what it is to be a Summit alum! You give your time, talent and money to help LEAD… NOT just leave Summit in a better place for other generations to come.
Congratulations! Good luck to all! We look forward to seeing you soon!
At a 9th Grade Leadership luncheon, former Summit teacher, Charlie Lovett ’77, spoke to the class of 2014 about leadership principles, including the importance of philanthropy. He presented the class with a gift of $2,500 from the Lovett Foundation, to be granted to a local nonprofit organization chosen by the ninth graders. Classmates collaborated to identify areas of interest, requested grant proposals from six local nonprofits, reviewed and analyzed the proposals, and voted to award Exchange/SCAN with $2,500 to support treatment for victims of child abuse.

Triad Academy Luncheon Supports Financial Aid At the Triad Academy luncheon in November, Paul Orfalea, founder of Kinkos, shared his personal struggle with dyslexia and how he overcame it to become one of this country’s most successful entrepreneurs. Orfalea, along with Triad parent Beth O’Brien, spoke to more than 160 parents and community supporters to raise muchneeded funds and awareness for dyslexia, a language based learning disability that affects twenty percent of our population. Approximately $100,000 was raised at the luncheon, which will provide financial aid to students in the 2014-2015 school year. A portion is designated to the Triad Academy Endowment Fund. “Almost thirty percent of students in the Triad division receive financial aid. This individualized, multi-sensory approach to learning, known as Orton-Gillingham, is expensive. Research shows that this is the best way for students with dyslexia to learn. We would like to have enough financial assistance funds to provide every child who needs a Triad Academy education, this opportunity,” says Carrie Malloy, Director of Triad Academy at Summit School.

While at Summit, Orfalea attended a breakfast with Upper School students and spoke to 235 sixth through ninth graders about his challenges growing up with dyslexia at a time when it was often undiagnosed and misunderstood. He is a strong advocate for the Orton-Gillingham approach to learning and schools like Triad Academy for addressing the importance of early diagnosis and remediation of dyslexia to enable to students to meet their academic potential. After his visit to the Summit campus, Orfalea made a gift to expand the sustainable garden project managed by the Urban Growers and STEAM clubs. With this support, the garden includes a new greenhouse, which will make it possible to grow more foods year round. Additionally, creating more out-of-door beds for growing seasonal foods like tomatoes will provide resources for the dining hall to use in preparing lunch for students. “Real food is essential to whole child development. Kids should understand where real food comes from,” Orfalea said. “School gardens are an awesome way to involve all of a child’s senses in learning. I applaud Summit for its commitment to the whole child.” Stephen Tatter and Kathleen Ghiorsi Richard and Jane Graves Michelle and Dan Gross Mr. and Mrs. Paul J.

Special Tribute
Remembering the late Frank Borden Hanes and Copey Hanes Written by: Doug Lewis Headmaster, 1957-1990
During 2013, two of Summit’s early and greatest supporters passed away: Frank Borden Hanes in July, and Copey Hanes in December. To appreciate their roles at Summit, we might look back to the school they chose for their children. People visiting Summit today can scarcely imagine what it was like in the decade after World War II when the school left a rented house in West End and moved to a new nine-room building on four acres in the village of Reynolda but struggled to attract families to its “distant” campus. In September 1948, Copey and her husband, Gordon, drove the few miles from their West End home to the new campus to enroll their first-born son in Summit’s kindergarten. The next fall, Frank Borden and his wife Bob-Ed enrolled theirs. The husbands were first cousins; their uncle, Ralph Hanes, had been one of the school’s seven original incorporators. Bob-Ed’s father, Robert Edward Lasater, hired the dowser who located the well site next to where the school’s kitchen would be located. What attracted the young couples to Summit, however, was not a family connection, nor the new building, but the school’s reputation for wonderful programs and teachers. Kindergarten with Miss Martha Christian and first grade with Miss Leta Christian was many parents’ dream for their children. Eventually, two more children from each family would follow their elder brother. Even with younger children at home, the two mothers marshaled other parents to pitch in. That year, Copey became president of the Home and School Association, organizing fund raisers such as the Book Fair and Spring Carnival. Both soon served consecutive terms on the board of trustees. Both sought out and encouraged other families to enroll.
Among other issues the small board dealt with was raising funds to build a kindergarten wing, a major step forward completed in 1954. Another task was finding a successor to the founder, Miss Louise Futrell, and establishing a retirement plan for her, the Christian sisters and two other long-term staff. When Copey and Bob-Ed retired from the board, Frank joined it, just before his son was about to graduate. By then, the school’s enrollment had doubled and five more classrooms had been added, but there still was no gym, no library, no space just for art or music, no playing field for organized sports. There was a building fund but not a dollar of endowment, and the school had to borrow money each year to pay teachers in the spring. Long before, as board secretary, Copey had certified the board’s resolution authorizing the annual borrowing of money from Wachovia Bank and Trust Company. It was used a lot. When Frank became board chair in 1959, he brought a determination to solve Summit’s perennial deficit and start the school on the road to financial stability. With his own gift and one from his mother, he established an endowment fund for the school at the Winston-Salem Foundation. He went to his Uncle Ralph and to Copey and Gordon for support and then personally solicited other friends and his parents’ friends to include Summit in their wills. Finally, he told the board what he had done. He was not one to lead noisily. (The school’s endowment now is valued at more than $17 million, thanks partly to bequests Frank secured, and provides 5% of annual operating costs). Next, he persuaded the board to start an annual solicitation of current parents for gifts separate from those for capital needs. In prior years, the two Hanes families and a handful of others had quietly covered operating deficits; the first several annual fund drives, from parents alone, happily raised more than 10% of the operating budget (Summit’s recent annual funds, from parents, grandparents, alumni and friends have contributed about 4% of the much larger current operating budget). continued on page 30

Special Tribute
Without Copey’s and Frank Borden’s continued faith in the school’s potential, their infectious enthusiasm for it and their timely persistence in realizing it, we would not be enjoying the buzzing, bright and innovative place it is today. The next year, Frank also led a private fund drive to build a headmaster’s house at the edge of the campus. He was on a roll. During his final year as board chair, he set in motion serious planning and major fund raising for the junior high building, theater and new gym, completed in 1962, on time and under budget. The new facilities transformed the school, allowing two sections of every grade from junior kindergarten through ninth and attracting many new families to the school’s expanded programs. In the late 1930s, Mary Reynolds Babcock’s early interest in Summit for her four children became pivotal in Summit’s postwar relocation to Reynolda on land she donated. Later, Mr. Babcock persuaded three Reynolds family foundations to underwrite half the cost of the 1962 buildings. The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation also funded the purchase of another six acres in 1966. Eventually, about 18 acres of Summit’s 28-acre present campus came from the Babcocks and their daughter, Katherine Mountcastle. This support was so quiet that today few people realize how Summit benefits from the interest and generosity of the Babcocks. None of what Frank Borden Hanes and Copey Hanes, and their friends accomplished could have happened without that early and continuing help. Both Copey and Frank would be quick to credit rightly many others beyond the Babcocks for the transformation of the school from a struggling enterprise in the early 50s to an exemplary operation a decade later, but without Copey’s and Frank Borden’s faith in the school’s potential, their infectious enthusiasm for it and their timely persistence in realizing it, we would not be enjoying the buzzing, bright and innovative place it is today.

Students Demonstrate Philanthropy – Grayson Snider ’19, Raike ’20 and Hines Batten ’22 Grayson Snider ’19 was first bitten by the acting bug when he played Spiffy the Elf as a Third Grader in Summit’s production of Happily Ever After. Snider, who will enter Fourth Grade this fall, said that he loves the social side of acting. “You can have a sad day and you get to act and it makes you happy,” he said. After his debut on Summit’s stage, Snider asked his parents, Terra and Terry Snider, to enroll him in acting classes with a local acting teacher and agent. Less than six months later, Snider was chosen from a pool of 500 applicants to be in a commercial for First Citizens Bank. He earned enough money in that role to open a Roth IRA — and to make a contribution to Summit’s Annual Fund. “I heard it costs a lot to go to Summit,” he said. “You can get a good education here, so I understand.” Snider’s mother is a financial adviser. Both she and her husband have encouraged Grayson and his sister, Ava ’22, to think of others. When the children receive money for birthdays and other occasions, they divide the money among saving, spending and charity. Grayson has also supported the local Humane Society because of his love of animals. Snider said that she has shared her story with her children. She was raised in humble circumstances in Charleston, West Virginia. She would not have been able to go to college without the help of Marjorie Johnson, a local philanthropist. Johnson paid all of Snider’s expenses through four years of college and took an interest in her. When she was older, Snider learned that she was one of about 40 local students that Johnson had sent to college.
Snider and her husband have created a trust that will allow children from hard-working families who would not normally have the means, to attend Summit. When Grayson received his first paycheck from acting, Snider discussed with him various places he might want to make a contribution.
“Think how lucky you are to go to a school like Summit where there’s a way to help children attend who normally couldn’t afford it,” she said. “That interested him. He’s there every day. Summit is such a part of his life—a part of all our lives.” Grayson said that shooting the commercial in Concord was a lot of fun. In the commercial, a young man who is about to propose to his girlfriend looks back on his childhood. Grayson plays the man as a child. To prepare for his close-up, the director told Grayson to think of the most amazing thing he could think of and to show it in his eyes. “I pictured a giant world of bacon,” Grayson said. “I love bacon.”
Their notes said: “Summit is awesome” and “I love my teachers!” With that, Hines and Raike became the youngest and second-youngest donors to Summit’s Annual Fund. Their parents, Curt and Caroline Batten, are hoping that the boys will make philanthropy a regular part of their lives as they grow older. “We always want them to know if you can help someone else, you should,” Caroline Batten said. Raike entered Summit and then moved to Triad Academy after his parents had him tested for dyslexia. His father, Curt Batten, who is dyslexic, knows the frustration that children with learning disabilities have in traditional schools, where their talents aren’t always appreciated. “Dyslexics learn through their failures,” he said. “Their strength comes from their ability to recover.” At Summit, Raike has discovered that he enjoys making pottery. He has readily embraced Summit’s hands-on approach. “In some schools you have to sit at a desk all day,” he said. “At Summit, you get to do stuff.” One of Raike’s favorite projects was preparing a report on local brick maker, George Black. He collected photos of buildings around town that had Black’s bricks in them, and he was able to visit Black’s former home on Dellabrook Road, and touch some of the bricks Black made. Such hands-on activities are important to children with dyslexia, Curt Batten said. Caroline said that she appreciates how Summit helps students find their strengths and uses creative ways to reach children with different learning styles. Hines can still recite portions of the speech he gave last year when he played Daniel Boone for Famous Americans Day. “They may be playing a game on the floor, but they’re doing math,” she said. The Battens said that both of their sons have piggy banks, where they store the money they receive for Christmas and birthdays. Twice a year they deposit money in their savings accounts. They’ve talked to the boys about the responsibilities that come with money.
Hines Batten ’22 and Raike Batten ’20 went to the bank and filled out withdrawal slips from their savings accounts for the first time. They scribbled notes and mailed the money to Summit.
“They’re lucky enough to go to Summit,” Caroline said. “If they can help someone else that needs to go, we try to teach them it’s important to help others.”

CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION
In 2013, Summit’s commitment to the professional development of educators received a significant boost with the establishment of an endowment to fund the Center for Excellence and Innovation (CEI). An investment of $250,000 is the first gift toward a $1 million endowment goal, which will allow Summit to realize immediate and long-term goals of the CEI. Under the leadership of Dr. Kristin Bennett, the CEI directs internal and external professional learning opportunities for our teachers, as well as outreach to educators in independent, private, and public schools throughout our expanding community. Generations of teachers will benefit directly from this visionary gift. To learn more about the CEI, visit summitschool.com > About > Center for Excellence and Innovation, or contact Dr. Bennett at kbennett@summitmail.org.

New Endowment Established in Honor of Sylvia Holt Cebeci ’56 Dr. Tuncer Cebeci has made a gift of $25,000 to Summit School to establish an endowment fund in memory of his late wife, Sylvia Holt Cebeci, a Summit School alumna from the class of 1956. Dr. Cebeci, a resident of Long Beach, CA, has designated that this endowment provide financial aid to a Summit student whose family may not otherwise be able to afford a Summit education. “My wife was grateful to Summit for giving her the academic foundation to qualify for a merit scholarship to Duke University,” Dr. Cebeci said. “I met Sylvia when we were both students at Duke, and I feel like I owe our 49-year marriage to Summit.” “I have been successful in my career; it is now my pleasure to give back and provide a student with a strong educational start,” Dr. Cebeci added. Born and raised in Turkey, Tuncer Cebeci graduated from Robert College in Turkey with B.S. degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering. He came to North Carolina to receive his M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Duke University. In 1961, he also found himself in love with an undergraduate student from Winston-Salem named Sylvia Holt. Cebeci and Holt were married in 1963 at New Hope Methodist Church in WinstonSalem. He received his doctorate in mechanical engineering from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 1964 and joined Douglas Aircraft Company, in Long Beach, in 1965, as a research scientist. He was promoted to become the head of the aerodynamics research department in 1974 and became the first senior fellow in the company in 1982. He received the prestigious Fluid and Plasma Dynamics Award from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in 1984. Under a dual appointment, he became the first distinguished professor in the mechanical engineering department of California State University in Long Beach in 1977, in 1987 he received the distinguished alumni award from the NCSU and in 1988 the Presidential Science Award from the president of Turkey. In 1993, he received the Aerodynamics Award from AIAA and the Distinguished Fellow Award from his company. The latter was the highest technical award in the company.
...it is now my pleasure to give back and provide a student with a strong educational start.
In 1998, he founded the aerospace engineering department at California State University in Long Beach and became chairman of the department. He is an author of 20 books and more than 300 published technical journal articles. He retired from California State University in Long Beach in 2000 and from Boeing in 2004, at which time he was the highest ranking engineer in a company of more than 200,000. Dr. and Mrs. Cebeci traveled the world and raised two daughters and one son. When Sylvia passed away in May 2012, Dr. Cebeci wanted to remember her in a lasting and meaningful way. This scholarship in her name will be funded from the interest generated from the initial gift. It is Dr. Cebeci’s hope that he and others will add to this fund, enabling the annual scholarship amount to increase over time and help many students.
