From the Head of School

Dreams really can come true. On September 4, the first day of the new school year, we officially “Opened the Door” to our expanded campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the entire student body, guests and all of our staff. Two weeks later, we joyously marked this momentous occasion in the life of The Agnes Irwin School with an “Open the Door” celebration. This magnificent event, attended by over 1,100 students, family members, alumnae and friends, is a testament to many past and current members of the Board of Trustees who, six years ago, dared to dream of a campus that would honor our students not only by providing for their academic needs, but also by promoting wellness, athletics and community engagement. Their dream was bold, and our community demonstrated that determination and hard work, the attributes we encourage in our girls, could indeed pay off and turn a dream into a reality. Today, we are enjoying with relish those “remarkable spaces” that our Campus Improvements Project promised – the towering Suzanne Wallworth Schellenger ’49 Entrance, the lofty exposed-beam Anne S. Lenox Main Lobby, the vibrant Lucas Thompson Student Street, connecting the existing building with our new construction; the sprawling Hamilton Family Courtyard and Dining Terrace, the lively Student Life Center, with dining room seating for entire divisions, and the Owl Café; the Pew Family Fitness Center, Pierce Squash Center, Sonnenfeld Rowing Center, Burch Lobby and Clery Garden. All of these spaces and others have brought new vitality to daily school life, as you will see in the pages that follow. School opened in September with 703 girls enrolled, the strongest beginning in the history of AIS. Educating more girls than any other area independent school, Agnes Irwin has clearly become the first choice of many parents as they

contemplate the education of their daughters. Tradition, along side of 21st century teaching, a community open to possibilities, extraordinary faculty and girls committed to being the best they can be, contributes to an environment where anything is achievable. I invite you to explore the articles in this Fall 2013 issue of the AIS magazine highlighting many exciting aspects of The Agnes Irwin School of today, from our new leadership education program in the Lower School to original Latin textbooks written by our Classics teachers for our seventh and eighth grades to the software application that our advanced computer science students are developing to help teachers better manage academic advising. In addition, you will hear from two of our newest athletic coaches – Tom Corcoran of Varsity crew and Alex Stait of Varsity squash – about their hopes for building competitive programs and how dedicated training spaces for both sports will help our girls reach even greater heights in their sports. And lastly, read through the remembrances from Reunion 2013 and about our newest Alumnae Awards winners, and peruse photographs from what is always a magical event. Don’t forget to catch up on the lives of our alumnae in Class Notes! If you have not done so, please come to campus for a visit and see for yourself a spectacular dream that has really come true. Warmest regards,

BUILD ING FO R THE AGES Campus Improvements Project Sets Stage for Continued Growth BY JENNIFER KINKEAD with Wanda M. Odom

owering majestically over the flow of girls who now pass through its doors, the new Suzanne Wallworth Schellenger ’49 Entrance of The Agnes Irwin School beckons like a clarion call. Come all who seek to know and understand the value of an all-girls education and the unique experience of being an Agnes Irwin girl. It is no wonder that the new façade and main lobby convey a sense of loftiness. At 33 feet in height, the exposed wood roofing and laminated beams above the Anne S. Lenox Lobby were harvested from a sustainably managed forest – just one facet of the recently completed campus expansion that has made the project a seminal achievement in the 144-year history of the school. With a small army of 700 construction workers, the 18-month construction project has significantly improved the school’s facilities for athletics, student life and cross-disciplinary teaching, and enabled the school to develop a more flexible class schedule with two longer blocks of time for in-depth instruction.

iven the significant scope of the Campus Improvements Project G and the complexities of building on Agnes Irwin’s 18-acre campus, construction was a monumental effort involving an extensive team of design and construction professionals who spent countless hours determining how to create state-of-the-art facilities that would be able to meet the ever-changing, ever-expanding needs of the school.

CONSTRUCTION • The addition is 85,000 square feet. It is the largest capital improvement project the School has undertaken since moving to the Rosemont campus in 1959. • The existing gymnasium and cafeteria were demolished to make way for the new addition. • The lower level of the new building sits on a 25,000-square-foot, two-foot thick concrete slab that is anchored to the granite bedrock below with 45 rock anchors, some drilled as deep as 65 feet. It took 120 concrete mixer trucks –which

The expanded facilities mark the third and final phase of a 10-year campus master plan, starting in 2004 with a focus on arts and science facilities through the renovation and expansion of the Lenox Arts Center and the Hamilton Science Center. An expansion of Lower School facilities quickly followed, with new classrooms, an enlarged dining area and redesigned playground. In the third phase, the school was intent on addressing athletic and Middle/Upper School dining needs, but ultimately the building design encompassed much more. The new front entrance to the Upper and Middle Schools, a flexible teaching space dubbed the Innovation Center and communal gathering spaces woven throughout the structure, both inside and out, have created a visionary building that inspires, enlightens and celebrates the Agnes Irwin community. Following are some of the fun facts about the Campus Improvements Project that provide an insider’s guide to what it took to bring the mammoth project to completion.

old eight to nine cubic yards–to pour the slab. (Hence the h term “the whole nine yards.”) • 95% of all construction waste was diverted from landfills and put into recycling programs. • An existing stream flows under the campus, starting under Phelps Field and extending under the Student Street, the Student Life Center, the Middle School play area and the Arts & Science Center, where it exits through the back parking lot and into nearby Kirks Run Creek culvert. • There are three storm water detention basins under Carter Field, Phelps Field and the Lower School field. Made from massive 60-inch diameter HDPE pipes, these underground detention basins are designed to manage and control flooding by limiting the release of captured storm water into adjacent waterways. • In order to reduce construction costs, the existing soil that was removed during the excavation of the lower level of the Athletic Center was used as a sub-base for the two athletic fields, raising the level of the fields by approximately three feet. • Granite boulders placed throughout the surrounding site serve as retaining walls and garden rocks. These boulders were removed from granite bedrock deep underground that was removed to make way for the new building foundation.

insulation, heat dissipation and ecological diversity. It is a living roof with a plant palette that includes a wide and diverse blend of native, indigenous plant species that give the roof a changing pattern of color throughout the year. These plants absorb a significant portion of rainwater that would otherwise be released into the local watershed. • The exposed wood roof decking and glue-laminated beams above the Student Life Center and Anne S. Lenox Lobby are harvested from sustainably managed forests and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, an international organization established to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. • At least 20% of all materials employed in the construction of the building were manufactured within 500 miles of the project, reducing their carbon footprint. For example, the field stone walls and slate stair treads are locally-sourced from Pennsylvania quarries.

SUSTAINABILITY • The project is on track to be awarded LEED Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, a nationally recognized benchmark for the design, construction and operation of highperformance “green” buildings. As a LEED-certified project, the building is recognized as an outstanding model of sustainable design, innovation, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

• Along the southern edge of the Hamilton Courtyard and Dining Terrace is a rain garden, designed to collect and infiltrate surface storm water as well as provide a visible example of sustainable design and storm water management. The rain garden has a ponding area stabilized with stone, sand and plants, providing temporary storage for storm water that is slowly returned to the groundwater supply.

• In lieu of traditional downspouts, the south wall of the Student Life Center has “rain chains,” a playful water feature using the excess water draining from the green roof above. • The domestic hot water supply is naturally pre-heated by an evacuated-tube solar hot water collector that is mounted vertically to the south facing window wall in the atrium above the Student Street. The collector also serves as a sunscreen for the south facing window and a teaching tool showcasing a visible example of sustainable design. • Natural ventilation strategies are employed throughout the building. Low-operable windows capture prevailing winds, which flow through the building and exit through high-operable windows when conditions permit. • The gymnasium air supply is delivered by ducts that extend down the side walls, providing air closer to the occupied area of the room and reducing energy loads.

• The building serves as a teaching tool. Sustainable design features of the building are an integral part of the environmental education curriculum at Agnes Irwin, where students in all divisions learn about environmental resources, water management, energy efficiency and ecology. • A software-based “energy dashboard” system displays real-time building energy use information on an interactive touch screen computer station located near the main lobby. The software can also be used in the classroom to measure building energy performance, teach data collection and statistical modeling, and encourage active participation in reducing energy use. • Above the Student Life Center and Innovation Center is a vegetated green roof system that is designed to provide storm water retention, thermal

• The building uses “daylight harvesting” systems to maximize the use of natural light and reduce energy use. Lighting controls use sensors to automatically shut on or off depending upon amount of measured natural light. • More than 35% of the building’s power comes from renewable sources.

THOUGHTS ON THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN “ In our 13+ years of experience as parents in this school community, I’ve witnessed great teachers, coaches, mentors and administrators help Agnes Irwin girls become mature young adults with the power to lead in so many different endeavors. So much of this energy came from those who led in our community, before Lin and I got there. When the opportunities came for us to lead ourselves, my wife accepted roles as event chair, committee head and trustee... and I agreed to help lead this historic capital campaign. We both agreed that a stretch gift to the Dare to Do More campaign was timely and right. In these ways, we hope we are setting an example for those in our community who will consider taking on leadership positions with this great school when our daughters and we are gone.” Jim Buck P ’13 ’15 ’17, Dare to Do More Campaign Chair “ I agreed to be an Honorary Chair of the Agnes Irwin School campaign because as a parent of three alumnae daughters and five alumnae granddaughters and as a former Board member, I am very aware of the importance of The Agnes Irwin School’s excellent programs of leadership, academics and athletics. I am delighted to be a part of this campaign and am proud to see the new facility be a part of the school’s future.” Betty Moran P ’74 ’76 ’85 “ As a former trustee of Agnes Irwin, I am delighted to be involved in this extraordinary, transformational effort. The years which our daughters spend at AIS are the most formative in their lives where they develop and hone the best life skills and value judgments. As supporters of this campaign, we have all helped to ensure the finest in academics, athletics, programs, facilities, and leadership - a truly remarkable opportunity for each of us.” Ray Welsh P ’79 “ As a mother of daughters, I know how important an all-girls’ education can be. And I know for AIS to continue to be a leader in schools for future generations of girls, expanding the campus and facilities is a necessity. I am proud to contribute to the continued success of AIS because I believe my experience there played a huge part in my personal growth both in and out of the classroom.” Kimberly Rhoads McCarthy ’88 P ’18 ’20 ’23 ’26 “ Gary and I are so fortunate to have found AIS. Samantha joined the AIS community in 2012, and we have been so impressed with the academic and community programs that the school offers. More importantly, we feel that we have joined a family that is committed to the development of the next generation of women. We are so happy to have contributed to the capital campaign that has given AIS the physical plant to match the programs that are already in place. We are excited to see the school continue to thrive and to bring even more opportunity to Samantha and all of the current students as well as those to come in the future.” Karen Zimmer P ’23

SPECIAL TOUCHES • The fireplace mantel is made from a piece of reclaimed timber from a 145-year-old church in Philadelphia that was recently demolished. In other words, the wood beam was cut approximately the same year as the founding of the school in 1869. • A granite sundial set in the concrete terrace near the Middle School play area uses a person’s shadow cast on the ground to mark the time. • Each of the four stairwells in the Athletic Center is painted one of the four class colors: green, orange, red and purple. • When the existing gymnasium was demolished, the existing wood gym floor was salvaged, restored and re-installed in a trophy case in the Athletic Center. • An original piece from the wrought-iron entrance gate (right) of Agnes Irwin’s 19th-century Philadelphia campus is mounted above one of the display cabinets in the Anne S. Lenox Lobby.

L3: LIVING LEADERSHIP in the Lower School BY DONNA LINDNER AND MARIANDL HUFFORD

e have always believed that every girl who comes to us possesses leadership skills. But now we, a group of Lower School teachers, are working intentionally to draw out, acknowledge and celebrate the leader in every one of our girls. This effort stems from a year-long Participatory Action Research (PAR) project that we completed under the direction of Dr. Darlyne Bailey, Dean of the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College. The result of our PAR work is called “L3: Living Leadership in the Lower School,” and this year marks our inaugural year. What makes it uniquely different from any other leadership development program is that it is firmly

rooted in Agnes Irwin values and culture, and that it considers, always, what it means to be a girl who is also a leader. The process of this work consisted of several components. For months, we identified and defined the values, attributes and skills of a leader by reading current literature, observing our own Lower School environment and talking to our own students. Through collaboration, we have created a “Leadership Toolkit,” a literal toolbox that holds representation of concepts such as responsibility, flexibility, communication and independentmindedness. In order to serve girls’ developmental needs, each concept is partnered with an object that best exemplifies each trait. For example, flexibility is represented by a slinky, and

The Agnes Irwin School Magazine :: Fall 2013

independent-minded is personified by a picture of our school’s founder, Agnes Irwin. Each concept also has an accompanying sentence that defines the concept in the simplest terms. Upon entering the Lower School, a bulletin board celebrates the leadership behaviors that teachers have noticed in their girls, thus reinforcing the concept that leadership lies within all of us. Teachers are able to use the toolbox in their classrooms in a way that best fits within their daily routines. Monthly, one of the traits is discussed in the Lower School Friday assembly. The following month is dedicated to recognition on the bulletin board of that and other traits “in action” by way of notes describing observed

CAG Programs & Partnerships Over the past year, the Center for the Advancement of Girls CAG) has had great success in its work to advance educational initiatives that further leadership, wellness, global awareness and academic engagement for girls and young women. Here are a few updates on CAG initiatives. Women’s Leadership Journeys As part of this powerful speakers series, Liza Cartmell, president of Atlantic City Alliance Group, will visit Agnes Irwin in December to discuss her organization’s $30 million marketing plan to end a five-year tourism slump in Atlantic City. In January, businesswoman Renee Amoore will speak about her experiences as a mover and shaker on local, state, national and international levels. As founder and president of The Amoore Group Inc., she has earned a reputation as a knowledgeable entrepreneur, health care advocate and political advisor. Invest in Girls Invest in Girls (IIG), a three-year financial literacy program, teaches high school girls the skills they need to become tomorrow’s leaders. The program includes financial workshops, exposure to women role models and financial services industry trips. This is the first year of the program at Agnes Irwin, and 28 sophomores are participating. The girls participated in their first of four interactive financial workshops in October. Later in the year, the girls will meet with girls from other participating schools and visit companies in the financial services industry. PROGRESS In mid-November, Carnegie Mellon University staff will hold a “Train the Trainer” session for fifth and sixth grade teachers as part of PROGRESS, the Program for Research and Outreach on Gender Equity in Society established in 2006 to teach women and girls about negotiation skills. Teachers will come away with detailed lesson plans and tips on how to teach the program effectively. The following day, fifth and sixth grade students will learn about the value of negotiation and how to recognize opportunities to negotiate.

leadership behavior. Our message: all of our students are leaders in many ways, every day. Our first trait of the year is responsibility. Ask any one of our Lower Schoolers what it means, and they will hopefully tell you the sentence they have learned: I know what I am supposed to do and I do it. They will tell you the story of the ant and the grasshopper, and show you the toy ant that, in the story, was responsible in his efforts to build up a store of food for the winter while the grasshopper played the days away. And they will give you an example of a way that they have been

Challenge Success On October 10, the Agnes Irwin Challenge Success team held Wellness Day. Students in grades 5-12 participated in workshops and activities centered on what it means to be well and have a healthy, balanced lifestyle. More than 70 workshops were offered. In addition, noted pediatrician Kenneth Ginsburg, an expert on fostering resilience in children, spoke to the parent community October 17 on “Authentic success: raising children and teens prepared to thrive through good and challenging times.” University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing CAG launched a semester-long elective course in September entitled “Global Health, Health Equity and the Girl Child,” co-taught by University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing faculty (under the direction of Professor Dr. Loretta Sweet Jemmott) and Agnes Irwin teacher Dr. Sarah Anne Eckert. Weekly lectures are delivered by professors from the Nursing School’s Center for Global Women’s Health. Status of Girls and Young Women in Philadelphia CAG has partnered with the Girls Justice League and other organizations to support a report on the status of girls and young women in Philadelphia. The report focuses on the collection and analysis of locally mined information from existing data as well as through focus groups with girls and young women. The Dream Flag Project® Marking its 10th anniversary, The Dream Flag Project held an all-day think tank in July with AIS administrators and teachers along with leadership from the National Constitution Center and Philadelphia’s City Council to begin developing a five-year strategic plan for this unique Agnes Irwin program. The Real Deal The Real Deal summer camp will run again in 2014 to provide rising seventh, eighth and ninth grade girls with a unique leadership experience. The camp brings together teens from around the region to explore what it means to be a leader who is also a girl. Dates and registration information will be available by the end of November at www.advancinggirls.org.

responsible that day. As we progressed through this Participatory Action Research project, we came to realize that leadership for girls is like Dorothy on her way home in The Wizard of Oz: the necessary components of leadership are present in every girl, but need an opportunity to be seen and practiced. L3 gives us a formal way to leverage those everyday opportunities; we hope that you will share your stories of your daughter beginning to recognize the leader she is, and always has been. Participating faculty and administrators included: Spanish teacher Montse

Nomdedeu, kindergarten teacher Melanie Slezak, Physical Education Department Chair Michele Kane, Lower School Director Donna Lindner, Physical Education teacher Suzie McInnes, controller and financial literacy teacher Carole Melvin, PreK teacher Candy Neely and Mariandl Hufford, Director of Academic Affairs and the Center for the Advancement of Girls (CAG).

The A in STEAM :: Observing the Innovation Center’s 3-D printer in action.

eveloping graphic images with sunlight, decorating fabric panels with electrical circuits and creating musical notes with conductive paint on paper may not sound like typical activities for art class. However, such projects represent a new way of thinking in educational circles in which tinkering paves the path to learning. “Increasingly, students are encouraged to experiment, tinker and construct using many different kinds of materials,” said visual arts teacher Jen Brittingham, who teaches in both the Middle and Upper Schools. “We want girls to explore their ideas, collaborate with peers, and visualize how things work together. We also hope they will see that the boundaries separating art, technology, math and the sciences are artificial!”

curricula is the conviction that creativity can be applied to just about anything. Take engineering for example. “Who wouldn’t get excited about concepts such as how to create simple circuits that light things up, make sounds or put objects in motion?” said Brittingham, who attended the Constructing Modern Knowledge Conference last summer, dedicated to creating environments where “making and tinkering” is encouraged. “The arts and sciences are natural partners,” adds Brittingham, “they both draw on student curiosity, creativity and reflection.” In seventh grade art, in collaboration with photography teacher Sarah Bourne, students will be introduced to cyanotypes, an alternative photographic process in which a surface such as fabric or paper is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion.

“ At the heart of STEAM curricula is the conviction that creativity can be applied to just about anything.” This school year, Brittingham has designed her seventh grade curriculum to incorporate such thinking. Students will be encouraged to follow hunches, iterate, make mistakes, re-think, start over, argue, sleep on it, and collaborate. Tinkering, sometimes referred to as “the maker movement,” encourages making connections, both with physical materials and with peers; however, it also allows girls to develop and practice the strategies and habits of mind for problem-solving in all aspects of their lives. At the heart of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math)

The Agnes Irwin School Magazine :: Fall 2013

Students can layer images and objects onto this coated material; when their creation is then exposed to ultraviolet light and rinsed in water, the design emerges. These cyanotype prints, in turn, become the perfect canvas for an introduction to simple electronic circuitry. Using conductive paint or thread, paper clips, tin foil, small LED’s and circuit boards, students can begin experimenting with lights, sound and motion. They can even paint a keyboard on paper and play musical notes through a computer. Brittingham plans to use a software program called

Scratch, which will engage the girls in basic computer programming. For Upper School Media Arts, students will be taking two-dimensional designs and translate them into Maya, a 3-D CAD (Computer Assisted Design) program. They will then have the ability to output to our new 3-D printer now in the Innovation Center. The 3-D printer can be used to create prototypes of design projects so that students have a chance to see their ideas brought to reality. Brittingham notes that Upper School students are continuing with a global girls education theme initiated last school year, in which they had to develop a marketing product to raise awareness about the lack of education for girls globally. One student, Kelly Manning, (Class of 2014) developed the idea of “Pennies for Change,” designing a desktop bank, shaped like a penny and based on the model of a spinning globe, for collecting monetary donations. “Kelly sketched the product in Adobe Illustrator (2-D vector drawing program) and now we are shifting that design into a 3-D program and it’s all based on geometry,” said Brittingham. “You have to use geometry and spatial reasoning to figure out how to give volume to a two-dimensional design.” In the New Media Narrative class, students will be creating package designs using Maya. “Previously, we constructed packages with paper,” said Brittingham. “Now we can use 3-D programs to do the same thing.” Designing, building, programming, inventing, calculating, tinkering and creating? Art is definitely STEAMing up in Brittingham’s classes.

:: Middle and Upper School Latin teacher Melissa Musacchio

Classics Department writes own textbook, curriculum for Middle School

esigning and implementing an engaging, studentfocused Latin curriculum continues to be a motivating goal for the Classics Department at The Agnes Irwin School. With the advent of several new approaches, techniques and methodologies in Latin language instruction, the department sought a textbook that would meet the needs of our students. Our Latin teachers spent the past several years examining and reviewing many of the current Latin textbooks on the market, and although each had its own merits, there was no singular text that presented a balance of grammar, reading and culture in a cohesive and engaging way. In light of these shortcomings, the Classics Department was awarded a professional growth grant to create an entirely new textbook and curriculum for our Middle School Latin program. The goal was to build a curriculum that provides our students with a learning experience that is both comprehensive and relevant; we want our Latin courses to adhere to the traditional tenets of classical studies while also addressing the need for 21st-century skills and interdisciplinary connections. Over the past two years, the department diligently worked to create a preliminary draft of a seventh and eighth grade

textbook. Adoption of the custom text began last academic year, with very promising and positive results. Although our approach to Latin instruction is largely traditional and does not claim to do anything “groundbreaking,” the flexibility of a custom textbook offers several benefits to our Latin program: we are in full control of the scope and sequence of the curriculum; we are better able to present grammar concepts simply rather than with complicated and convoluted explanations; we are better able to create custom exercises and projects that are more meaningful for our students; and we are better able to align our curriculum with the curricula of other departments and the overall Middle School program. This ability to customize the curriculum ensures that modern study of the ancient can be innovative, fresh and relevant to the needs of today’s students. Classical languages and literature have been taught at The Agnes Irwin School since 1869, and, with the support of the school and the dedicated work of our Latin teachers, we are well positioned to keep this tradition strong and successful. Marshall is the Chair of the Classics Department and Musacchio and Bannard teach Latin in the Middle and Upper Schools.

WORKING SMARTER Computer Science Teacher, Students Collaborate on App for Managing Academic Advising BY WANDA M. ODOM

hen Upper School science teacher Steve Grabania needed a worthy project for his advanced computer science students to tackle, he had to look no further for inspiration than the ordinary tasks of academic life. Near the end of each year, teachers make course recommendations for every student. What if there were a software application that allowed these annual recommendations to be organized online so that department heads had quick access to student assignments for the next year’s courses, Grabania thought.

but can you make it do this, this, this and this.’ So we started growing it,” said Grabania, who spent last summer polishing the app for continued development with his advanced computer science students this school year. That work, and support from the faculty growth grant program, led Grabania to build on his students’ success and create a component for Student Support Services that would allow teachers to more easily provide the monthly observational reports they create for some students. “This feature allows teachers to sign in, click a student’s name and fill out a report and then all that data is stored in a

“ The students are on this journey with me. And it’s nice being only just a few steps ahead of them. They get to see the mistakes that I make. Some people wouldn’t like that. But I think it’s really valuable for students to see teachers stumble with things.” Over the course of last school year, his advanced computer science class developed a course recommendation application designed specifically for Agnes Irwin. “When we had a prototype, we invited administrators to come take a look at it, and they said, ‘Oh, this is really good

central location. And now Support Services can generate their own reports from that data without having to deal with a lot of papers and sifting and sorting,” said Grabania. “They can now say let’s see how the student is doing longitudinally over time in chemistry, let’s see how she is doing in the month of October in all of her classes. The teachers only need to fill out one form. The application formats that data however the support services specialist wants to see it,” he said. But the innovation did not stop there, as Grabania realized that another useful tool would be a feature that kept track of the schedule for tests, quizzes, projects and other assessments across all subjects in Upper School. The smart test book was born. “This new test book app has been a dream of mine for years,” said Grabania, adding that he first approached registrar Helen Snyder about his idea. If Snyder could supply him with the school’s registration data, then he knew he could develop an app. He quickly realized it would be best as a web app. The existing test book is a Google calendar, where all

assessments are entered as appointments. The problem with the existing system is that teachers cannot immediately tell if an entry in the Google calendar will impact their class should they schedule a test for it on the same day. “For me, this was just untenable. My opinion was that we could do better,” said Grabania. The smart test book, one of four features included in Tracks: Web Tools for the Agnes Irwin School, allows teachers to sign in and register an assessment through a date picker calendar tool. The calendar tool shows what days would not be good for adding a test or other assessment specifically for their class. The application looks at a teacher’s class list and then scans all the tests that are in the assessment calendar and determines if any students in that class have two tests logged on that day. School policy prohibits students from having more than two tests and/ or quizzes scheduled on the same day. Tracks also keeps a record of projects, in-class essays and papers, which do not prohibit test scheduling, but are important to know about for tracking student workloads. But even when a date shows red, indicating that two tests are already scheduled for that day, the application allows teachers to inquire about a date and generate a report that details the exact conflict – identifying which students would have more than two assessments in a given day if the new test were scheduled. The app keeps track of the date that an assessment was first entered in the system. “It gives you up-to-date data on an individual student basis so you can make the best decision,” said Grabania. In some cases, no other day might work for a class test. “I might have 18 students in the class and only one is affected. In this case, I might go to the student and say I’m going to give a test on that day and I understand they already have two assessments. How about we schedule a different day for them, does that work? … Having access to this type of information will make

teachers’ lives so much easier when it comes to scheduling.” Students used HTML and the Python programming language to code their assigned features of the application – the course recommendation function and a second function that allows students to sign up for athletics activities for each season, and be assigned to teams. During the design process for the app, students outlined the site map, what data is to be displayed on each page, how it should be presented, and what information needed to be passed from one page to another. “The advantage to Python is that it’s simple syntax. The way you write instructions is much more accessible to beginners. But it’s a fully functional, professional level programming language,” said Grabania, explaining that syntax is simply the set of rules for directing the computer to do certain tasks, such as inserting a name in a web page. Grabania hopes to have the app ready for beta testing with actual student information by January 2014, but that will require building a database with the school registrar. He said he named the app Tracks and added a footprint graphic to the

title for two reasons: one, because it tracks a lot of data, and two, “because this application is in part coded by students, it’s their way of leaving footprints behind on Agnes Irwin. This is a legacy they leave here. It is something they produced that teachers and students are going to be using for years. My hope is that every year, the advanced computer science class can add features.” Moreover, Grabania believes that everyone benefits from this studentteacher collaboration.“I’m benefitting from this because this is a set of skills that I didn’t have prior to last year. This is my professional growth. This is my professional development. It’s selfdirected. And I’m doing something that I have always been curious about and interested in,” he said. “The students are on this journey with me. And it’s nice being only just a few steps ahead of them. They get to see the mistakes that I make. Some people wouldn’t like that. But I think it’s really valuable for students to see teachers stumble with things. Then I can model, ‘how do we deal with setbacks, how do we deal with obstacles.’ It’s authentic for me and so I think it’s good for students too.”

AIS ATHLETICS

TALKING Q&A WITH TOM CORCORAN, Varsity Crew Coach BY MARIA MCDONALD

In his second year as Varsity crew coach, Tom Corcoran brings several years of experience in rowing and coaching at the high school and college levels to his work at Agnes Irwin. Corcoran rowed for four years at Chestnut Hill Academy, eventually leading the team as captain. A graduate of Widener University School of Law and the University of Pittsburgh, Corcoran rowed for four years in college and served as team vice president and president. He was assistant rowing coach and program director for Moorestown High School, and assistant coach of the South Jersey Rowing Club. What does having a rowing center mean for AIS? The Sonnenfeld Rowing Center is a space in the new Athletics Center dedicated solely to training for rowing. It has a stateof-the-art rowing tank with eight seats, and can be configured to use for sweep rowing (one oar) or sculling (two oars). There is also space for 10 ergs and a multi-purpose space for stretching, weight lifting and calisthenics. For crew, the center allows us to train throughout the school year, which means we can be one of the fastest crews in the area. For the school, it allows us to introduce crew to girls in the Middle and Lower Schools. The tank also has great non-rowing possibilities, like studying levers and fulcrums. What are you looking forward to most in your second year as head crew coach at AIS? I’m looking forward most to building on our new success. Last season, three boats made the semifinals at Stotes (Stotesbury Regatta) and one boat earned medals at Cities, Nationals and a great finish in C finals of the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships. My goal this year is to get at least four boats in the finals of Stotes and two boats in the finals of the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships. I know the girls are on the same page and are willing to put in the work required to reach our goal. What do you enjoy most about working and coaching at AIS? I enjoy most the sense of community at AIS. Everyone is so friendly and genuinely cares about each other. I love that the faculty ask about our regattas and that the team enjoys going

The Agnes Irwin School Magazine :: Fall 2013

to a field hockey or basketball game after practice to cheer on their classmates. Could you explain the purpose of the rowing tank, and what having it on campus means for the crew program? Do many schools have crew tanks on their campuses? The tank is an excellent tool for teaching new rowers the stroke and blade feel without having to send them out on the river with hundreds of other boats. For new rowers, I can get next to them to help figure out proper body movements, and I can use the mirrors for instant feedback. The tank is also great for the Varsity team for not only technical work, but also longer aerobic work. The tank can also be used to help set line-ups in that I can watch several rowers at once to evaluate technique without wakes or wind. Also, with the tank, weather no longer dictates our practice schedule. I can use the tank for days when we need to practice but the 30-minute drive to the Schyulkill River is not worth it because of rain, big exam days, or arts performances. Several of our competitors have tanks. How do you plan on building the crew program? It starts by making the program challenging, but fun. The sport requires so much commitment that if an athlete isn’t having fun, she won’t stay in the program long. I also follow a system of development that starts with teaching new rowers how to row and instructing juniors and seniors how to race. I firmly believe a strong technical base will translate into boat speed. The goal every year is to have the top Varsity 4+ and Varsity 4x. That starts with dedicated freshmen and sophomores learning the stroke, continues with juniors challenging the seniors every day, and ends with the seniors being the fastest they can possibly be. What originally sparked your interest in rowing? Growing up in my neighborhood in Philadelphia, everyone played soccer and everyone went to the same three high schools. When it came to choose a high school, I was the only kid who went to a completely different high school. Several of my friends joined their high school crew teams, so I joined my high school team just so I could see them.

AIS ATHLETICS Q&A WITH ALEX STAIT, Director of Squash BY MICHELLE TRENHOLM

Originally from the United Kingdom, newly named Squash Director Alex Stait has played professionally in the United States and abroad. He was the number-one player for five years during his high school career at Wycliffe College and captain for three of those years. During his professional career, Stait achieved a ranking of number 52 in the world. He was director of squash at the Bowdon Cricket Club in Manchester, England for four years and, most recently, a squash professional at the Merion Cricket Club in Lower Merion. What does having a squash center mean for AIS? With the Pierce Squash Center as part of our new athletic facilities, girls at Agnes Irwin now have the advantage of home courts and the benefit of being able to practice on campus. The center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with four beautiful glass-back international softball courts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; makes the sport much more accessible for all students as well. We now have a facility that matches other schools and gives our squash players the opportunities to compete at the highest levels. What are your plans as Director of Squash? In the short term, my plan is to introduce as many Agnes Irwin girls as possible to playing squash, and to make the existing teams more competitive and tougher to beat. I plan to build the squash program on all levels. We are going from Lower School to faculty classes, with the aim of getting everyone excited about squash. I would like to see every girl at least try squash while she is at Agnes Irwin. I aim to provide as many PE classes, clinics and lessons as possible so that the girls get a chance to enjoy the game. In the long term, I would like to build teams that can compete with any other school in the

national programs working with their top players and helping teach their coaches. At Merion, I worked on their very successful program and got a great insight into how US Squash and UK Squash differ. How have your prior positions prepared you for this Director of Squash role?

nation while keeping the great attitudes the Agnes Irwin girls are known for. You hope to bring squash to the Lower School through PE classes starting in third grade. What made you want to introduce squash to younger grades at AIS? I think it is really important to give children the chance to try as many sports as possible, as we are all different and each sport may suit our personalities and skills in different ways. If we can give them a little exposure early on, then it can only help them in the future if they wish to take up squash. What prompted you to take the job at AIS? I was prompted to take the job because of the contact I had had with Agnes Irwin girls and their parents through my work at Merion Cricket Club. I was very impressed with the attitudes of the girls and the genuine excitement that they would have a new squash facility at the school. I was keen to get back to running my own program and thought that Agnes Irwin was a great fit. What did your roles involve at Merion Cricket Club in Lower Merion and the Bowdon Cricket Club in Manchester, England? In the UK, I ran a large club program in which we started up a program that became one of the Elite Squash Clubs for juniors and seniors in the UK. I also worked for England Squash and Danish Squash on their regional and

They have helped greatly in teaching me the many different obstacles you can come up against. They also showed me, through my experiences, a very clear way of making good well-rounded squash players who enjoy playing the game. How do you get the girls pumped up for a match? I think it is going to be very, very easy to get our girls pumped up for matches in the new facility with their friends and families having easier access to watch now. A big part of my job will be getting the girls to relax and play their games without feeling too much pressure. Squash is such a fast skilled game that you need to be calm at all times especially on big points. I am pumped for their matches and I am sure that the girls will be also. What is your favorite coaching or competing memory thus far? I have been lucky enough to have a few. Probably my favorite so far was winning the National Championships with the North West of England Girls U17 team. We were not expected to win, and all five girls worked fantastically as a team and won their first national championship together. Please tell us a little known fact (or two!) about yourself. I am a big soccer fan or football as we call it. My team is Tottenham Hotspurs, and I follow every game and miss being in the UK to watch them live. I have also recently taken up golf and am completely addicted. I have a six-yearold son, Jamie, and another son due in October.

Commencement

2013

he once self-proclaimed “unlucky” Class of 2013 were undoubtedly fortunate on the day of their Commencement. The sun shone and the temperature was perfect as the seniors in their elegant white gowns, purple bouquets in hand, and their families gathered outside Bryn Mawr College’s Goodhart Hall on the morning of June 6, 2013. At the ceremony, Commencement Speaker Rebecca Chopp, President of Swarthmore College, spoke about how it was a unique moment in the lives of the graduating seniors and also a unique moment in history for women. Despite persistent levels of global gender inequality, she said, in this country “women dominate in education right now … more than 60 percent of college students are women … Half the presidents of the Ivy League Schools and the ‘Little Ivies’ are women.” It was also, shared Chopp, a unique moment in her own life as she expressed how excited she was to be addressing “an all-female high school graduating class” for the first time in her career. She considered it “a precious opportunity,” and given the level of accomplishment of the Class of 2013, she said she’d had to think “long and hard” about what advice she might share. She chose to stress the importance of “passion” and encouraged the young women to “study passion” by observing people who are passionate about what they do, to “practice passion” through discipline and hard work, and to “imagine the new”– to have the “moral imagination” to envision a better world. The student address was given by Georgia Fortunato, who captivated the audience with an articulate and humorous speech that highlighted how close a group the graduating class was and how inspired she’d been personally by the level of intellect of her classmates. Fortunato’s many talents were in evidence when, as part of her speech, she serenaded the crowd a capella with an excerpt from Wicked. The beautiful weather continued on into the afternoon as the seniors and their :: Commencement Speaker Rebecca Chopp families returned to the AIS campus for the Commencement Lunch. 20

The Agnes Irwin School Magazine :: Fall 2013

AIS Class of 2013 Student Address (excerpts) Once upon a time, in the year 2008, a group of eighth grade girls traveled to Lowell, Massachusetts. Miraculously, their trip had not been canceled. Stranger yet, their bus hadn’t broken down! And (can you believe it?) a freak snowstorm hadn’t buried them alive! The unexpected absence of misfortune puzzled the girls, but, lulled into a false sense of security, they pushed the limits of their luck and visited the one site in Massachusetts that would seal their fate. With the chill of Halloween still haunting the autumn air, they stood above the graves of the Salem witches, who happily decided to renew the curse of the Class of 2013. I came up with this theory when my sister, Lauren, came home from her last day of eighth grade at Irwin’s wearing a purple t-shirt with “Reverse the Curse” emblazoned on the front. I was homeschooled at the time and upon seeing the shirt, instantly dreaded the September day when I would join such doomed individuals. Having spent four unforgettable years with them, I can now say that I wouldn’t have it any other way. Good morning, my name is Georgia Fortunato and I could not be more proud to be speaking on behalf of this unlucky group of girls. Our mishaps have morphed into memories that have brought us together and will keep us forever connected. Though we will go down in school history as the grade who never won the hallway competition, or any other contest for that matter, let us look at what lies behind that dismal title: pure

:: The student address. imagination. It is no coincidence that Willy Wonka was the theme of our hallway this year. We have chosen his brand of imagination to lead our every endeavor, willing to leap into the unknown rather than beat the trodden path. By taking risks, like making that infamous vineyard out of purple balloons sophomore year, we have been rewarded with the satisfaction of being example-setters. Doers not re-doers. Our grade’s quality of creativity has served us especially well this year as we have been able to produce solutions to the challenges that inevitably come our way. Our broken down buses and hurricane survival days, our lost passports, lost students and just being lost in general were not for naught because from adversity we have gained resilience, patience and perseverance. Before coming to Irwin’s, I fell into believing the popular misconception that private schools pamper and shelter their students compared to public schools. While we generally enjoy better funding and more privileges, I can comfortably say that we have grown skin thick enough to succeed against life’s harsh realities. We should be flattered that the administration, recognizing our adaptability, has repeatedly chosen to test its pilot programs on us. They even thought it fitting to provide us with guinea pig shirts after the inaugural C21 Challenge launch! I knew I’d been officially initiated into the Class of 2013 when I put on a shirt featuring a giant rodent. Since that

moment, with the passing of time, the Lower School memories that I missed have become mine too. Dancing around the may pole during May Fair and feasting during Medieval Night recall the same vivid nostalgia as competing on EA Day and singing the 12 Days of Christmas. Whether a supersurvivor or the grade’s newest member, there’s a special place for each of us in our family of 66. Let’s just not make it 6-6-6! Out of all of our attributes, I am most thankful that my grade understands the power of appreciation. A ridiculous number of people have been the wind in our sails, ferrying us to this day, all of whom deserve the gratitude I wish to express on behalf of my class. ... thank you parents for sending us to this school, from which we graduate today, looking like incarnates of the goddess Athena, whose strength and virtues we’ve been taught to admire. ... We will forever be grateful for your open ears, your calming words and your endless hearts. Gracias, merci and gratias, faculty and staff for your devotion to the noblest of causes: education. Your willingness to share your knowledge and wisdom will inspire us to do the same for the many lives we will touch in the future. By allowing us to steer conversations away from the conventional toward the controversial, you’ve encouraged us to face the problems from which society so often shies away. ... Coaches, thank you, for making our skin even thicker and for identifying the talent inherent in each of us. You don’t seek credit for victory and you don’t seek glory, yet you deserve it all. Finally, for the fairest of them all, thank you Class of 2013. I wish I could turn around and look each and every one of you in the eye so you can see how sincerely I mean what I’m about to say. Because of your humbling intellect, every classroom conversation I got to be a part of was meaningful and thought-provoking. Because of your

www.agnesirwin.org

Commencement 2013 energizing enthusiasm, I was inspired to involve myself in running the Athletic Board, to join clubs and to play the cello in the Instrumental Ensemble. Because of your love, I love life and eagerly await the surprises it will bring. ... Anyway, to express my gratitude for the past four years, I am going to embarrass myself again. In the musical Wicked, Glinda (a good witch!) sings:

Glinda isn’t sure if people come into our lives for a reason, but I am. I believe that everything happens for a reason. We were brought together not to be the cursed class or the guinea pig grade but to be the spell-casters, the star-gazers and the trailblazers. And no matter

“I’ve heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true But I know I’m who I am today Because I knew you…”

how much today’s graduation and tomorrow’s life scatter us like stars across a nighttime sky, we’ll always form a constellation that will guide even the farthest wanderer back to the light. Thank you.

Confidence, Compassion and Curiosity Words of Wisdom at the 2013 Cum Laude Induction Assembly

BY CLARE LUZURIAGA

n Tuesday, April 30, Upper School students and faculty gathered in the West-Wike Theatre to celebrate the induction of 13 seniors into the Agnes Irwin Chapter of the Cum Laude Society. Cum Laude inductees are students who have excelled in a rigorous course of study over their Upper School careers. The 2013 Cum Laude Society inductees were Georgia Fortunato, Saskia Hargrove, Taylor Hillman, Carolyn Houlahan, Anne Mentzinger, Emily Offit, Alexandra Pew, Meridith Pollie, Sofia Rodriguez, Elizabeth Scattergood, Molly Shields, Christina Styer and Brooke Sutherland. The guest speaker at the assembly was AIS alumna and Cum Laude inductee Kathryn Farrell ’93, an executive producer for BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) World News America. Farrell took the stage to share her thoughts on what an Agnes Irwin education had given her and to offer some words of advice to seniors about to embark on the next stage of their lives. A graduate of Brown University, Farrell has worked in television production for over 20 years, 12 of which were spent working for CNN. “I truly love what I do,” said Farrell, “but I know it wouldn’t have been possible without the foundation I received here and three very important qualities I was taught here that I think will serve all of you just as well.”

The first quality, said Farrell “has to be confidence.” At AIS, Farrell learned that if she did “all her homework” and “knew the facts,” she “belonged in the conversation.” The training she received at AIS gave her the confidence to “take on the challenges of the co-ed work force.” She encouraged students to seek out mentors in their fields and, equally, to “pay it back” by mentoring others in the future. In her career, Farrell has covered many national and international tragedies. Compassion was the second quality she learned at AIS. Her job, she stated, is “to bring people’s stories to the world” while recognizing that she does so, in many cases, at the “lowest point in people’s lives.” AIS community service projects and the experience of teamwork in the classroom encourage compassion. “Helping those around you doesn’t come at the price of falling behind,” she stressed. The final quality highlighted by Farrell was curiosity. “Through the Irwin’s curriculum,” Farrell told the students, “you have been taught to be strong independent thinkers.” And she encouraged them to “never stop asking the question ‘why?’” Possessing all three qualities in abundance, the 2013 Cum Laude Society inductees exemplify academic excellence at AIS.

ALUMNAE

Reunion

2013 There’s something magical that happens during an Agnes Irwin Reunion Weekend – for some, it’s a spirited rekindling of old friendships, brimming with lively memories that made many of the women involved who they are today. For others, it’s yet another reason to revisit the playground of their youth, which taught them the principles and lessons that have become part of the mortar of their personal and professional lives. For those in class years ending in a 3 or an 8, Reunion Weekend 2013 was no exception. With hundreds of familiar faces from 1943-2008 pouring in throughout the weekend, memories instantly resurfaced for visiting alumnae and laughter was prominent. Alumnae kicked off the weekend with a cocktail party on Friday night in the M. Penney Moss Library, where they enjoyed appetizers and drinks. Leading the second annual Bel Cantos “Now and Then” Concert was Music Coordinator Murray Savar, conducting over 30 alumnae and the current Bel Cantos during the evening’s performance. On Saturday, alumnae enjoyed campus tours, class receptions and a luncheon and awards ceremony in the Laura Thomas Buck ’49 Pavilion. Recipients of Alumnae Awards included: Cynthia Campbell Crochiere ’83 (Alumnae Award), Averel Roberts Wilson ’73 (M. Penney Moss Award for Education), Ellanor Stengel Fink ’63 (Margaretta Anspach Willing Award) and Courtney Fretz ’98 (Young Alumnae Award). Annual giving awards were presented to the Class of 1988 for the highest dollar amount raised (Sophy Dallas Irwin Award) and to the Class of 1963 for the highest percentage of class participation (Loving Cup).

Alumnae Award The Alumnae Award is presented annually to an alumna who has made a significant contribution of service to the school in a volunteer capacity. In the years since her graduation from Agnes Irwin, Cindy Campbell Crochiere ’83 has dedicated countless hours in service to her alma mater. With a decade of service as a member of the Alumnae Board and the Board of Trustees, Cindy has held leadership roles with the Alumnae Association, Parents’ Council, the Trustee Board and as a reunion team member for the Class of 1983. As a Trustee, Cindy led the Trustees Committee and the Building Facilities and Grounds, and served on the Campaign Project Cabinet. As the mother of Campbell Crochiere ’12, Cindy spent 13 years as a dedicated volunteer and tireless supporter of the school. Through her leadership roles, volunteering at Parents’ Council events, spectating and providing oranges to the soccer and lacrosse teams, or calling alumnae or current parents for their annual support, time and time again, Cindy has :: Alumnae Award recipient Cynthia Campbell Crochiere ’83 with her husband, Brian, demonstrated her loyalty and and father, Frank J.

Margaretta Anspach Willing Award The Margaretta Anspach Willing Award is given to an alumna who has been outstanding in leadership and civic responsibility or who has made a real contribution to the arts and sciences. This year’s recipient, Ellie Stengel Fink ’63, has demonstrated a commitment to community and civic improvement through her employment and volunteer service to numerous non-profit groups in the Washington, D.C. area. Ellie has lived in the Washington D.C. vicinity since graduating from Wheaton College in 1967. She has worn a number of hats in her professional career, including, serving as a writer and researcher both in and out of government. She has also been an advocate for a balanced federal budget for the Concord Coalition, a life and professional skills teacher to male and female refugees at the Refugee Center at Montgomery College, and a behind-the-scenes fundraiser through her creative work with the Lowell School.

ALUMNAE M. Penney Moss Award for Education This award is presented to an individual whose commitment to and efforts in the area of education embody and reflect the passion and spirit that Miss Moss, headmistress from 1988-2005, devotedly exhibited during her nearly four decades at Agnes Irwin. Averel Roberts Wilson ’73 took the long road in finding her calling. It is not every day that your middle school math and science teacher starts off as bank president in New York City. In fact, Averel claims that her role as a teacher is far more challenging than her career in banking. In addition to teaching sixth grade math and science and eighth grade algebra at Roosevelt Middle School in San Francisco, Averel runs a weekly lunchtime “Math Counts” program and acts as the school liaison between the Science Department and the after-school science program. Averel is deeply committed to educational equality and leveling :: Averel Roberts Wilson ’73 the academic playing field for those coming from low-income communities. Subsequently, in 2009 Averel founded TamTutoring – a non-profit organization that aims to help motivated, yet underprivileged students gain access to post-secondary education. A student herself, Averel is currently pursing a Master’s Degree in Education at the University of San Francisco. We applaud her for the difference she is making in the lives of young people and for being a shining example of the AIS Alumnae Association motto: “Not for ourselves but for others.”

community interests or her professional or academic pursuits. Courtney Fretz ‘98 is the North American product director for Adhesives and Functional Materials within Dow Chemical’s Performance Plastics division, based in Houston, Texas. In addition, she has global oversight for Ostomy Films and Textiles & Nonwovens. Courtney joined Dow in 2009 in home and personal care as a marketing manager based in Philadelphia. She was responsible for sustainability and emerging market development prior to assuming the role of global marketing manager for hair care. Subsequently, she added Latin America regional marketing responsibilities based in São Paulo, Brazil to her portfolio. Prior to joining Dow, Courtney worked for five years in international shipping at the Danish firm A.P. Moller-Maersk. Courtney holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a B.A. in Economics and East Asian studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Whenever she travels, Courtney makes it a point to engage in the culture around her, including learning the language as a means to gain insight into local practices. She is fascinated by how “closely interlinked the world actually is.” Accordingly, through her professional life at Dow Chemical, Courtney employs “science and technology to change how we live,” making outstanding contributions to many local and global communities.

Class Notes 1940-1949 Suzanne Foote Smith ’48 enjoys painting local scenes in oils near her cottage in Westfield, which is near Wellsboro, PA. This summer she traveled to see ‘Impressionism and Fashion Show’ at Chicago’s Art Institute. Mannequins were dressed in the elaborate gowns, hats, gloves, shoes and bags that the models wore in the paintings of Monet, Manet, Degas, ToulouseLautrec, Seurat and Tissot to name a few. A must see!

Barbara Penrose Tarbell ’49 is doing very well in Portsmouth, NH. She lives independently and has many interests – reading, gardening, drawing and walking her Labrador retriever. Her health remains excellent and she volunteers in a church thrift shop and is a member of an enthusiastic art group. At this time she is most interested in learning how her other 1949 classmates are faring – in any event, she wishes them all the best!

Mary Bleecker ’27. On her paternal side, Natalie’s great-grandmother, Elizabeth Gribbel ’16, attended Irwin’s before finishing school at Westover. Natalie’s aunts include Cindi Kinkead Farr ’78 and Libby Kinkead ’82, as well as great-aunt Renny Parke Wood ’57. To mention the cousins in this family lineage would require too much ink. Natalie’s elders had to travel quite a distance to school. Elizabeth Gribbel took a pony cart from Wyncote to Jenkintown, where she got a train to Miss Irwin’s in Philadelphia. Mary Bleecker commuted to the city by train from West Chester and Jerry also commuted by carpool and train from West Chester to Wynnewood. Natalie is fortunate to live a stone’s throw away in Villanova. Katherine Hempstead Humm ’55 writes, “The latest chapter in my life began when Bill and I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan at the end of 2012. We’re now condo dwellers and live five minutes from one of our daughters. Providing chauffeur service for three active grandchildren is one of our new activities, but this fun task takes a back seat to my new role as a docent volunteer at Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park – a world class destination. New friends, new adventures and travel keep us busy and, thanks to the Internet and Southwest Airlines, maintaining contact with east coast friends and family is relatively easy.

Sally Saunders ’58 says, “I’m enjoying living in San Francisco, CA where I read my poetry publicly and am writing more. I recently did stand up comedy, which went over very well and I hope to do more soon. In April, I visited Philadelphia and had lunch with Joan Kremer.”

Linda Golden ’66 shares that her boutique is 21 years old and she is still having fun buying and selling to her dear customers. This year she has a new sales team that includes her two-year-old Maltese, Oliver. She continues to travel with her significant other, Richard, who is also working hard.

Judith Carrigan Sykes ’59 writes, “What a fine year we have had! Hank and I celebrated our 50th anniversary year starting on June 21, 2012, and ending on June 21, 2013. We had several trips abroad – Geneva and Switzerland in September 2012, Ireland in April 2013, and we ended with a family weekend in Newport, RI. In Newport, we enjoyed sailing, shopping, eating and tennis. We also spent a month on Cape Cod, MA with our entire family. I feel very fortunate that my health has allowed me these adventures and that I continue to feel like my old self…not quite elderly yet! I love being in touch with classmates Cathy Tryon Mick, Sara Wetherill Wilds, Sandy Trimble Enck and others through Alix Rockwell Jacobs’ emails to the class. I wish you all a wonderful year and have hopes of seeing many of you at our 55th Reunion!”

Julie Fowle Parsons ’68 writes, “I want to share this picture of my darling grandson who is sixteen months old! Unfortunately, he lives in Los Angeles, CA with his mother and father so I don’t get to see him nearly enough. His name is Izzy and he is already singing into a microphone and matching pitch. I am still practicing psychotherapy at the University of Maryland, College Park where I have worked for the past 15 years. I recently opened my own practice, which is growing faster than I can keep up with. And as always, I am still playing music. Love to all of you. You remain precious in my heart.”

1960-1969 Margaretta Markle Lovell ’62 writes, “It has been a tumultuous and fun year at home since my daughter, her three babies and nanny moved in with me. My academic life has also been full of adventures—taking a graduate seminar to England in March. We braved snow-storms and bitter cold to investigate Tudor and Neo-Tudor architecture and ruins. I have, unexpectedly, published my first essay in Serbian; and, also unexpected, on the home improvement front, I have learned how to reupholster chairs. In June, I was in Bryn Mawr, PA to help my Dad celebrate his 95th birthday, and was lucky to have an opportunity to visit with Elaine Biddle Whitman.” Laura Wheeler Golding ’64 says, “I can’t believe that, after seeing so many classes ahead of us express utter disbelief that they are celebrating their 50th Reunion, we are now one of them! May 2-3, 2014 will mark five-oh years since we tiptoed down the aisle of Goodhart Hall! I have sent questionnaire requests to all of you asking that you send me an update of your ‘last 50 years’ so that we can compile a book, ‘The Lamp – 50 Years Later’ that we will distribute (to our class only) at our reunion, and don’t forget to include a picture or several! Please, please, PLEASE come to Reunion – even if you have never been to one before, please come to this one – they are so much fun! Plus, you will absolutely fall in love with the new building! However, even if you cannot make the trip, please send me your update, and I’ll ensure that you get a copy of the book. If you didn’t get a packet in

Mary McCarty ’05 hired an AIS senior to work with her at Generation Citizen. Justine Breuch ’14 traveled to New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area to intern at Generation Citizen (GC), a nonprofit whose mission is to empower young people to become engaged and effective citizens. GC partners college volunteers with secondary school teachers to teach an “action civics” course in which students identify a pressing local issue (e.g., gang violence, teen jobs) and learn to use

the political process to take action on it. Mary currently serves as GC’s Development Manager and connected with Justine after participating in Agnes Irwin’s Alumnae Speaker Series during the spring semester. Mary was thrilled to offer this real-world experience to an extremely qualified and dedicated young woman. In her role as a Development Intern, Justine supported all aspects of non-profit fundraising, including two of her specific interests: corporate sponsorships and individual donor research. Justine shares her thoughts on the importance of young people taking action in their communities on the Generation Citizen Blog at www.GenerationCitizen.org/our-blog/. Caleigh Jooste ’05 married Brian Bressler on May 25 in Driftwood, Texas. The couple met in their senior year of high school at an accepted students reception at Wake Forest University. They stayed on for a fifth year to pursue a Master of Arts in management together at Wake Forest University Schools of Business. They currently live in Austin, Texas and are looking forward to where their adventures will take them next! Bridesmaids included Genevieve Jooste ’02 and Charlotte Hamilton ’05.

Lindy Li ’08 went to Dublin, Ireland in April to meet with the former President of Ireland Mary Robinson, former US Vice President Al Gore, the CEO of Unilever Paul Polman, Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, and several others. The goal of this fifteen-person gathering was to discuss how the private sector could participate in the climate justice dialogue. Lindy’s role is to target universities, in order to generate greater interest at the grassroots level in fossil fuel divestment and more sustainable and healthier sources of fuel. As a follow-up, she will attend One Young World in Johannesburg, South Africa in October, when many young leaders around the world will come together in an effort to solve the world’s challenges, one dream at a time.

She is living in New York City and working at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a research study assistant in phase I clinical trials. Nadya Mason ’10 is a senior at University of Pennsylvania this year. In April she celebrated ‘Hey Day,’ a tradition similar to Agnes Irwin’s Changeover Assembly. Right before final exams, juniors wear red shirts, hats and canes to parade down Locust Walk until they reach College Hall. When they arrive at College Hall, President Amy Gutmann recognizes the juniors as the new seniors on campus for the first time. It’s a great Penn tradition and, through all the chaos, Nadya managed to snap a picture with fellow 2010 alumnae. Although she says they lost Elee O’Neill in all the excitement!

Every Gift, Every Year A ‘Mix’ of Art, Science & Math In the picture above, members of the Class of 2021 explore the connection between art, science and math with Lower School teachers Trish Siembora and Cassie Woestman (retired June 2013). To expand on their study of the color chart, fourth graders devoted several class periods to a special cross-curricular project on how molecular bonding relates to working with permanent dyes. Students learned how to calculate a specific formula for mixing primary dye colors to arrive at a desired secondary color. The calculation relied on determining the percentage of water, salt, vinegar and dye necessary for the dyebath to bond with the molecules of wool fabric. The outcome of this rich, multifaceted interdisciplinary experiment was a hand-dyed scarf for each girl, something practical and usable.

Every day, The Agnes Irwin School inspires girls in ways that last a lifetime, guiding them through doors as they become women of confidence, character and heart. Every gift to the Agnes Irwin Fund makes this possible. Each year, The Agnes Irwin School relies on income beyond tuition to provide the enriching educational and extracurricular experiences that are unique to Agnes Irwin. An essential resource, the Agnes Irwin Fund allows our girls the opportunity to become their best selves in a community that challenges them intellectually while cultivating their individuality. Every gift, every year to the Agnes Irwin Fund is consequential and indispensable, because the impact of the Agnes Irwin Fund is felt everywhere by everyone.

2012-2013 Agnes Irwin Fund Results Raised: $1,171,452 100% Trustee Participation 27% Alumnae Participation 76% Parent Participation 100% Faculty & Staff Participation

“A ‘Mix’ of Art, Science & Math” (at right) illustrates the importance of the Agnes Irwin Fund and how your support touches our community in a meaningful way. Agnes Irwin takes great pride in successfully stewarding your contribution to the Agnes Irwin Fund.

Dare to Do More

Parents’ Council The Agnes Irwin Parents’ Council is synonymous with community. Parent volunteers from all divisions organize and orchestrate numerous events that not only raise significant funds for specific school initiatives, but also help to promote school pride and build a sense of camaraderie that is second to none. Events such as Welcome Wellness, May Fair, Winterfest, the Agnes Irwin Cup Golf Tournament and Faculty & Staff Appreciation Luncheons are just a few examples of the many ways in which the busy hands and huge hearts of Parents’ Council members impact the school. See pages 66-67 for more about Parents’ Council.

On September 20, over 1,100 members of the Agnes Irwin community came together to celebrate a historic milestone at Agnes Irwin: the “Open the Door” celebration of our Campus Improvements Project! Our capital campaign, Dare to Do More, reflects the ambition and vision of the Board of Trustees and the school’s leadership. We have constructed a state-of-the-art Athletics Center, Student Life Center and many innovative, environmentally sensitive gathering spaces that transform the campus and will enhance the Agnes Irwin experience for years to come. This magnificent campus renovation is a critical step in our unfailing commitment to providing the best possible education for girls. The extraordinary generosity of our community in this campaign has opened the doors of our new campus spaces. This year, we ask all members of the AIS community to participate in the campaign to reach our goal of $40 million! See the inside back cover for more information. See pages 62-63 for more details and the list of donors.
