Kindergarten experiences
nature day
By: Aimee Sims Primary Division Director
Nature Day has become a kindergarten tradition as we set aside an entire day to celebrate nature, being together, and learning. Children
and their teachers enjoy one another and celebrate a year of hard work, learning to get along, and working together. We experience sunshine and nature while participating in Nature day gives plenty of time for students to quietly study and reflect activities that nourish on their environment. our spirits, bodies, and circle friends, enjoyed chapter time watchminds. ing the clouds and sky, and ended our day Children enjoyed a variety of activities with singing and S’mores around a real including a friendly game of kickball in camp-fire. the grassy field with Mrs. Heath; a scavenSome reflections from our teachers: ger hunt in the woods with Mrs. McNeill “I thought Nature Day was a great and Mr. Jensen; music and dancing with bonding experience for my circle.

We learned that we all belonged in nature.” “It was such a great way to wrap up the year for kindergarten. Putting the group into the situation was a testament to just how far they had come.

“The child is capable of developing and giving us tangible proof of the possibility of a better humanity. He has shown us the true process of construction of the human being. We have seen children totally change as they acquire a love for things and as their sense of order, discipline, and self-control develops with them. …The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.” Maria Montessori

“The Class of 2016 not only has the determination
to work hard, but the willingness to work well with each other. In fact, how they described their class, even more than loud and crazy and funny, was supportive. The Class of 2016 is confident and willing to take risks. It is opinionated, hard working, and collaborative. They are ready for high school where they will be incredibly successful, and they will also continue to support each other, no matter where they go.� Bob Vernon, head of school

letter
From the desk of Bob Vernon
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” -Albert Einstein
This column is about stability and change, necessary opposites that interact to complete the whole. To create some context, last fall Westminster hosted a visit from our accrediting organization, Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS). The ISAS Visiting Committee was on campus for three days, and its task was, as it stated in its final report, “to assess the quality of the mission, vision, goals, and program of Westminster.” We had worked hard to prepare for the visit, and though nerve-wracking and time-consuming, we enjoyed the committee members and appreciated how seriously they took their work. We were re-accredited for another ten years, which is important, but what really matters are the insights and suggestions the Visiting Committee gave us. The report opened with these words, “Westminster School is a wonderful school with a commitment to promoting hard work and creativity among its students, its teachers, and its community.” The committee then offered a series of commendations that praised our school’s mission and leadership. It celebrated our teachers for their commitment to their students and our students for their very strong bond with their teachers. It complimented the passion and pride of our community and the financial stewardship of our board of trustees. And it marveled over our campus. All of that is important – and true – but my favorite commendation was reserved for Westminster’s kids. “The children of Westminster love their school; they feel that they belong to it, and that it belongs to them. They are confident to speak their minds…exuding kindness, generosity, and respect, the students of Westminster are warm, welcoming, outgoing, and happy; they are wholesome… Truly, Westminster’s students are the finest
ambassadors a school could hope to have.” In addition to these commendations, the committee also provided us with recommendations. Recommendations are committee insights and suggestions for change and improvement that the school is required to respond to in writing. The committee gently prefaced its recommendations by noting, “Westminster represents an institution steeped in gratifying and affirming tradition. At the same time, there are many opportunities for the school to build upon that tradition in exciting and compelling ways.” The committee’s most interesting and significant recommendation was its first, and it focused on stability and change. “Westminster enjoys an enviable stability and has captured a unique position in the local educational market. As an institution, the school exudes a level of confidence about its core values and the way in which they drive instructional programs. At this moment in its history, Westminster is uniquely positioned as an institution to take some risks, embark on new initiatives, and move in bold directions. We were surprised to discover that, despite the school’s encouragement of students to take risks and embrace failure, the institution seems reluctant to exhibit this same quality. The visiting team strongly encourages Westminster to be a pioneer for the local, regional, and national independent school community.” Many of the committee’s other recommendations, not surprisingly, echoed ideas from our 2013 strategic plan including, for example, statements about fine arts, technology, and language. We have been working on these for three years, and there will be some exciting changes when school opens next month. There was, however, one other important recommendation that has also been a theme of our strategic planning reports for

Ruth Ann, like Charlotte, possesses the four qualities of leadership. She understands the Westminster Way and wants to protect and nurture it during the pioneering days ahead. She was born a Westminster kid with a mother who has spent her career as a teacher/ administrator at our school. Ruth Ann was a Westminster student for eleven years and is now starting her eleventh year as a teaching administrator; she gets Westminster. She is also a woman of integrity and stability. She works hard, leads by example, is well liked by kids, and is trusted by colleagues and parents alike. As a mother whose son starts 3-day this fall, she gets Charlotte’s vision about education and joy. Finally, Ruth Ann is a humble leader. She always has time for anyone who needs her, selflessly deflects credit to others, and most importantly understands that it’s not about her. Ruth Ann gets that school matters; she understands that it’s always about the kids. So why am I writing about last year’s ISAS Visiting Committee, Albert Einstein, Charlotte Gibbens and Ruth Ann Regens? Because the Executive Committee completed its year-long study of succession planning in May. After interviewing Ruth Ann, it concluded that the best possible future head of Westminster School was already here. The Committee voted unanimously to ask the full board at its June meeting to approve Ruth Ann Regens as our next head of school upon my retirement,
and the board agreed. I’m delighted. Though I’m in no hurry to leave, it’s a lot easier to contemplate retirement knowing that Ruth Ann is ready and willing to take over. Like Charlotte before me, Ruth Ann will be a phenomenal head of school. This was an unusual process, but fully in keeping with the Westminster Way. The board knew what it wanted in a future head of school, understood how Charlotte and I had been chosen, appreciated our decades of service, and wanted the inevitable transition to our next head to be secure and seamless for parents, teachers, and students. It will be because schools like Westminster – well grounded in their values, clear about their vision – are bigger than any person. As I said at the beginning, this column is about stability and change. I’ve always been amused that some people think that change is merely another option. It isn’t. Like Einstein said, you lose your balance if the bike doesn’t move. To remain stable, there has to be movement…there has to be progress…there has to be change. It’s not only inevitable – it’s desirable. Charlotte Gibbens laid the foundation of Westminster with her vision, integrity, stability, and humility. Ruth Ann Regens will use those same traits to lead our school into an even better tomorrow.

Seventh grade businesses
From Primary to Middle Division, students across campus look forward each year to one of Westminster’s most beloved traditions — seventh grade businesses. Held for two weeks
each spring, Westminster businesses provide hot lunches, Westminster-branded merchandise, breakfast and snacks to hungry, excited students, parents, teachers and alums.
A trio of seventh graders serve up delicious French toast with powdered sugar and syrup to a hungry crowd.
By working in teams, seventh graders decide what to sell, how much to buy and what to call their businesses. Teams considered each individual’s specific set of talents and options they had when deciding on their business plan – from designers and artists to students with a passion for baking fresh goodies each night. As in years past, students earned money from their businesses – all A student works hard on of which goes adding just the right amount of whipped topping to the crepes toward the during seventh grade businesses. school’s Community Service account!

positive energy Spring field day
Rain and bad weather could not deter the joy students had for one of the most beloved Westminster traditions this spring – Field Day! Colorful clothes on energetic students
made the hallways come alive this year where traditional games were substituted for indoor equivalents. Instead of kickball, students rotated through games including beach ball volleyball, Tic Tac Toe, sit-down basketball and a variety of indoor games. By the afternoon, the weather cleared enough for students to go down to the park for the relay race. Friendly competition and a lot of fun for our middle school students made the day a success. Students worked hard to earn points from activities to determine the overall win-

Guidelines for school-sponsored sports for students in grades four through eight at Westminster School When teams begin to form for the fall sports season, we want to remind you of the guidelines the School uses when creating school-sponsored athletic teams for Westminster School students in fourth through eighth grades. We hope that these guidelines, developed through many years of teaching and coaching chil-
dren, might be helpful to parent-sponsored teams as well.
1. All Westminster sponsored athletic teams strive to follow the Westminster philosophy of establishing equally balanced teams, open to all Westminster students in the grade, and coached by current or former School employees. 2. Before establishing teams, coaches determine the level of interest in their sport by providing an inquiry letter to all families. 3. Depending on the level of interest, an appropriate number of balanced teams are established. 4. In determining teams, coaches consider the ability, dependability, and willingness of players to work as part of a team. The team groupings are announced to players alphabetically. 5. New, balanced teams are created each year based on that year’s interest in the sport. Coaches try to mix teams from year to year, and generally do not follow their teams to the next season. 6. Coaches offer equal practice time to each player. Playing time during games will depend on a variety of factors including league participation rules, each player’s effort during practice, the score of the game, etc. Coaches seek to balance playing time with an effort to win. 7. Westminster School coaches strive never to play two Westminster teams against each other. In each grade Westminster students practice together throughout the season and function as a single grade-level team.

delicious! Faculty and staff luncheon
To celebrate our faculty and staff, a luncheon was held in April during Westminster’s in-service day. Teachers and staff were treated to a delicious lunch organized by parents Rurie Dobson, Stacy McDaniel and Natasha Neumann and catered by Kam Gamble, which included a selection of pastas, warm rolls and salad. Westminster parents Kim and Gene Leiterman, owners of Coco Flow, donated a chocolate fountain and assorted brownies, pretzels, marshmallows and fruit. Faculty and staff enjoyed their time together and thanked our wonderful volunteers for their help and organization on this lunch!
Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers for their hard work on a fantastic luncheon!
