On the cover: “The Whale,” Isabel Davern ’17.

Isabel writes that her intricate pen and ink drawing “encapsulates my childhood fondness of whales and my growth as a dancer and artist, both of which are relevant to the person I am today.” This beautiful piece is a gift to Falmouth Academy by Nina Heald Webber in memory of former FA Trustee Norman Wood and his wife Lucy, former FA Librarian. The Woods were passionate about Falmouth Academy and, like Isabel, had a great fondness for whales.

Falmouth Academy received one of its largest gifts in 2017 that enabled us to bring the Simon Center for the Arts to our community. The 7,200 squarefoot facility opened for business in July, with a grand opening party and a spectacular concert featuring the Harlem Quartet. We are so grateful to the many donors who supported this initiative to bring more arts opportunities to our school and our community.

GAM: “A social meeting of whale ships ... with all the sympathies of sailors [and] all the peculiar congenialities arising from a common pursuit.”

Corrections to Summer 2017 The GAM (p. 3) Théo Guérin ‘17 and Charlie Fenske ‘18 qualified for the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) based on their first place win at the South Shore Regional Science Fair (SSRSF); though they also won a first place award at the Massachusetts State Science and Engineering Fair, the route to ISEF was via their SSRSF performance. (p. 6) Juniors Seth Ament ’99 and Leigh Shapiro ’99 each published an article in the Biological Bulletin as a first author with their mentor at MBL, Dr. Robert Bullis. (p. 7) The scientist who “went out of his way” was actually Paraskevi (Vivian) Mara. She was a visiting postdoc at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from the University of Crete, Greece.

Dear Friends of Falmouth Academy, Falmouth Academy’s Mission Statement proclaims our aspiration to prepare our students to confidently engage with the challenges of our times. Any serious attempt to address and thoughtfully consider the challenges of the 21st century must be grounded in a deep, bold and joyous engagement amongst the people of this planet. For our students to go forth and impact the problems of the world, they need an understanding of the histories and cultures of other nations and other peoples, and they need to know the humanity of our neighbors across the globe. The historian Gregory Daddis reminds us that, “Empathy helps us fathom how competing motives drive humans to make difficult decisions, both good and bad.” We can work to provide a degree of historical understanding in our classrooms, but real empathy is best cultivated in personal knowledge and interaction. There are difficult decisions to be made, and difficult past decisions to be understood and forgiven, on all sides.

This is why I am so proud that our school has over the last 33 years hosted nearly 100 international students from more than two dozen countries. From our corner of Cape Cod, we have laid the foundations for countless connections, opened the window to new paths of empathy, and perhaps forged ties that will be key to the solutions for our most pressing world problems. Henry Adams famously wrote that, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Perhaps this is even more true of friendship.

This issue of The GAM features a heartfelt farewell tribute to Mr. Pusit Atthaoraek, who has been both a friend and a teacher to the entire Falmouth Academy community for the past decade. A native of Thailand, Mr. Atthaorek has personally brought an informed appreciation for Thailand’s rich history and culture into our lives. His moving remarks at All School Meeting as the news arrived of the death of the beloved Thai king in 2016 will remain with all of us who were there that morning. Far beyond his ostensible role as a member of our grounds and facilities staff, Mr. Atthaorek has taught about Buddhism in our World Culture classes, and coached years of students in Tae Kwon Do. Several years ago, he organized and delivered a gift of used school and athletic supplies from FA to a school in South Africa. Prior to that trip, he sought out Falmouth Academy clothing for himself to wear because he thought it important to represent his community as he traveled the world. Mr. Attahaorek has taken FA’s values out from the Cape, and he has brought the values of his homeland to us. Like our international students, he has been a part of preparing our students to meet the challenges of an interconnected world, and we are all so much the better for his lessons and his friendship. Thank you, Pusit!

We also recognize and offer thanks in these pages to all our generous and devoted friends who make it possible for Falmouth Academy to aspire boldly to exert a positive influence far, far beyond the shores of Cape Cod, and to fulfill our mission of confidently engaging with the challenges presented by our interesting times. Our gratitude to all who facilitate, support and steward our endeavors runs very deep.

Sincerely,

Rob Wells Head of School

Up Front FA Turns 40 In June, on the eve of our 38th graduation, more than 200 alumni, faculty, past parents, current families and so many more gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Falmouth Academy, and, consequently, the retirement of our last founding faculty member, Lalise Melillo, who was ending her career after 52 years of teaching.

Several speakers represented various eras of the school including headmaster emeritus Bruce Buxton, Laura Tavares ’94, senior associate for staff development at Facing History and Ourselves, Michael Deasy ’10, teacher and coach at Falmouth Academy, Bridget Miskell ’07, MBA candidate at Boston University Questrom School of Business, and Sam Amazeen ’07, Lead Instructor at NAVSUBSCOL. (See photos and read about their speeches in the Alumni News section of this issue.)

Musical selections were presented by the Falmouth Academy Cool Nights Jazz Band and the Falmouth Academy String Quartet conducted by George Scharr and the Falmouth Academy Men’s & Women’s Chorus directed by John Yankee. The jazz band practiced in secret for months to learn a traditional dixieland tune to honor Lalise Melillo and her New Orleans roots. In Academy Award style, the band set the stage for her entrance with the tune, “Basin Street Blues.” The chorus prepared “Sheep May Safely Graze,” a request from Mrs. Melillo.

Janet Kearsley, Rob Wells, Amy (Ballentine) Stevens ’96, Sarah (Lafaver) McCarron ’96

Perhaps Mike Deasy summed it up best when he said, “We write to know our own stories and to share them with others, and we hope to learn their stories, too. When we pay careful attention to these memories, they become the threads that, woven together, form the fabric of a community – and isn’t this a beautiful one?

This is ultimately why we gather here today – forty years of creating attentively and sharing sincerely. Without this deep sense of the value of narration we could not have the depth of identity that draws alumni back, makes our seniors so proud, and inspires our students to approach their studies seriously and joyfully.”

Lucy Beecher Nelson crossed The Pond for the Young Masters Art Prize Lucy Beecher Nelson, studio arts teacher, was the only American invited to exhibit at the internationally renowned Young Masters Art Prize this summer in London. Ms. Nelson was recognized for her reinvention of 15th century Italian marriage portraits.

The Young Masters Prize celebrates artists who draw inspiration from and pay tribute to the great artists of the past through their contemporary work. Ms. Nelson was one of eighteen artists who competed for this coveted international prize. In addition to painting, the show featured other media including film, art photography, and printmaking. Ms. Nelson says, “It was truly inspiring and the art was smart and well-crafted.”

Three of the eighteen artists in the show studied at the Museum School in Boston, MA, including Ms. Nelson and first prize winner, Azita Moradkhani. After the event, Ms. Nelson travelled through England with her husband, Brad. Highlights of her trip included a return to Stratford-Upon-Avon, where she studied Shakespeare for a summer in college, to see “Titus Andronicus.”

Ms. Nelson’s art remains on tour with the exhibit and will hang at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery for Frieze Week this October.

Music in the Mountains

Summer at the Simon Center for the Arts The much-anticipated grand opening of the Simon Center for the Arts was celebrated in style with an outdoor reception for campaign leadership donors on the Morse Hall terrace on Monday, July 3rd, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and performance by the acclaimed Harlem Quartet in the black-box theater.

Music in the Mountains took its inaugural trip to New Hampshire thirteen years ago when Arts Chair George Scharr and Hannah Moore, former trustee, trombonist and music educator, collaborated to create a summer opportunity for FA student musicians (when her son was a member of the jazz band) to gain performance experience. This past June, FA musicians again took to the mountains to play, practice, and perform for six days and five nights, accompanied by Mr. Scharr and Paul and Cynthia Weller. The group had two full rehearsal days followed by performances at Indian Head Resort, Lincoln-Woodstock Senior Center, Littleton Chamber of Commerce Music Series, Whale Tale Water Park, and Mt. Washington Cruises. It was an action-packed schedule with time off for swimming, hiking, and even a nighttime guided moose trek.

Joshua Watson ’18, Jillian Igoe ’18 and Caitlin Corkeron ’21 went up earlier in the week with George Scharr to work with students from Sippican Elementary, who were doing a similar but shorter excursion led by Hannah Moore. At one time, Ms. Moore and Mr. Scharr combined these two school trips, but found the size of the group and the age range too large for an ideal experience. Ms. Moore recalled a highlight from the trip, "Magic happened when the FA students joined us for the bus ride home. We had good fun making music together and the FA students had been so nice to my young ones, but on the bus, spontaneous musical joy perked up on its own with a ukulele here and a song started there. Soon everyone was engaged in the music as the miles flew by on our trip down the mountain."

At the reception, Rob Wells introduced himself as the newly appointed interim Head of School as he thanked campaign donors and special friends. Deep gratitude was extended to Susan Morse for her tireless work as Campaign Chair and to Steve Duffy for breathing new life into the project and shepherding it through to completion. Mark Hutker, a visionary and champion of the project in his own right, acknowledged Delphi Construction and Eck MacNeely Architects for design and construction. Recognition for the project extended to the ribbon-cutting where Steve Duffy and Beth Colt, outgoing FA board chair, acknowledged the steadfast commitment, extraordinary support and enthusiasm of Betsy Heald and Bonnie Simon (pictured). The remarks culminated with Ms. Simon, surrounded by her family, cutting the ribbon of the new performance space named in honor of her late husband, Stephen Simon, composer, conductor, arranger and founding music director of the Simon Sinfonietta, which called Falmouth Academy home.

Since its early summer debut, the Simon Center for the Arts has been well used by theatre groups, musicians, community groups, summer camps, authors and dignitaries. Highlights from the summer events include the Cape Cod Theater Project, Mindy Todd’s interview with Sergei Khrushchev, a reading and book signing by Jan Brett and the Woods Hole Film Festival.

Falmouth (Academy) Road Race A team of students, teachers, parents and alumni ran the 44th Falmouth Road Race this August in matching racing shirts designed

by Sarah Knowles, Assistant Director of Admissions, who finished the race in 57.44. As FA team runners advanced through the 7-mile course, those in the rear could clearly read "No Back Rows," a clever use of FA’s tagline. English teacher Allyson Manchester got a race-day boost when she was placed in the elite female group and found herself out front with some of the world’s fastest women racers. While a strong amateur runner, Manchester knew that she couldn’t keep up with the professionals, but enjoyed the extra elbow room afforded from starting 15 minutes early. The highlight came near mile six as Manchester rounded Falmouth Heights Road, and

suddenly the crowd went wild around her as elite runners Stephen Sambu and Leonard Korir blew past in a dead heat for the finish line. Manchester slowed her pace to take it all in, finishing at 54.25.

Bianca Greco '23, was the first Falmouth female finisher in her age group (10-14) with a time of 57.08. Anne Preisig, parent of Clara and Eric ‘23, crossed the finish line at 50.39.

Classroom and Beyond Windows and Mirrors

Sara Hines, Eight Cousins Bookstore At the end of last year, the student organization GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) raised money through t-shirt sales to purchase LGBTQIA books to augment the school’s library. I had the honor of working with the GSA students in the book selection process and I am excited to share my thoughts about the significance of their endeavors.

In children’s publishing we talk a lot about window and mirror books (see Rudine Sims Bishop article “Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors” https://www.psdschools.org/webfm/8559).

Mirror books reflect and allow readers to see versions of themselves. Window books offer opportunities for readers to learn about the world around them and provide insight into other cultures and communities. Along with many booksellers, librarians, teachers, publishers, and authors, I believe that every child (and teen!) deserves both. They deserve to see themselves in books and they deserve the chance to learn about others.

Grace Lin, author of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, also addresses the importance of having mirror and window books in every child’s library. She emphasizes that mirror books teach self worth and window books teach empathy (http://www. gracelinblog.com/2016/03/my-tedx-talk-some-of-my-thoughtsand.html). One of the reasons I appreciate the windows and mirror terminology is that it allows a book flexibility; whether a book is a mirror or a window changes depending on the reader.

The GSA has hand-selected LGBTQIA books for the school. For some students the books will be much needed mirror books. The library will help reinforce the value of the LGBTQIA experience and create a sense of community for all students at Falmouth Academy. For others, the books will be windows, allowing them to learn and well as increase understanding and empathy.

Whether the books selected are mirrors or windows, it is my sincerest hope that the entire Falmouth Academy community will take advantage of this phenomenal resource. Happy reading!

Promoting Global Stewardship Julie Bradley, Director of Admission and Enrollment Management

Falmouth Academy welcomed its first exchange students, Mats Nasmark ’85 from Sweden and Massimo Malpezzi ’86 from Italy, in the 1984-1985 school year and since then there has rarely been a year when one or more students, hailing from over 25 different countries, have not been welcomed to campus. Until quite recently, it was rare for an independent day school to admit international students. Falmouth Academy, a pioneer in promoting cultural empathy and understanding, admitted exchange students from countries as diverse as Iraq, Slovakia, Egypt, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Russia, Germany, and Kazakhstan, among many others. In 1988, FA welcomed from China Yuan Long Huang and his parents, who were studying at WHOI. Yuan was granted a visa to study abroad in an American high school, which was nearly unheard of at the time. Clearly, FA stands as a leader in promoting an understanding and sensitivity to other cultures, vital 21st century competencies for thoughtful global stewardship.

The profound impact of these exchange students is illustrated by Petra Scamborova ’93, from Czechoslovakia. Tim Waldman ’09, interviewed Petra about her experience at Falmouth Academy and how it influenced her professional path. Petra received a BS in biochemistry from Mount Holyoke College, a Masters in biochemistry from Cambridge University, a Ph.D. in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale, and a JD from the University of Pennsylvania. She is currently working as Director of Dispute and Resolution at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Petra credits her teachers for success, “They encouraged me, challenged me, and pushed me to excel despite my lack of English…they taught me how to think and reason creatively and independently which has served me well throughout my studies and to this date.”

Falmouth Academy continues its tradition of nurturing and challenging the hearts and minds of international students, and this year welcomed three new students, Alice Tan ’21 and Cather Zhang ’20, both from China, and Peeta Theerakaisri ’18, the first student from Thailand, for a total of 10 international students for the 20172018 academic year.

Fall 2017

These students attend Falmouth Academy due to the generosity of our host families who open their homes and hearts to these students. Together, they navigate the opportunities and challenges of understanding and appreciating cultural differences with extra grace, goodwill, and a healthy sense of humor. Our host families unanimously report that the experience is positive, and the kindness and presumptive goodwill of both students and families results in friendships with students, and often their parents, that will last a lifetime. Perhaps Martha Borden, Director of Technology and host parent to Liming Zheng ’20 (pictured above), best sums up the experience, “Liming has become like my daughter—she is so much a part of the family.”

Band Camp is Music to New Student Ears At the end of summer, FA launched a two-day music expo affectionately known as “Band Camp” for twenty-seven new and prospective FA students to build confidence, hone skills, make friends, and play music. Incoming students in all grades were invited to work with George Scharr on brass and strings and Paul Weller on woodwinds to get them acclimated and excited for orchestra and band. Instrumentalists played many genres including jazz, classics and rock. Mr. Scharr said, "Our first band camp was well attended and met with excitement from students, parents and faculty alike. It gave us a good jump start to the year by allowing us to get to know each other and make good music together in a stress-free, funloving environment."

On Monday, August 21st, Dr. Joy Lapseritis, new FA science and math teacher, joined the band to observe the solar eclipse. She gave a presentation and then led students in a viewing outside using a variety of instruments including low-tech box viewers, specialized glasses and a telescope. In honor of the auspicious day, the band played “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” the theme song from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

ATHLETICS For the first time in Falmouth Academy history, two Mariner teams were ranked in the Top 20 in Massachusetts by The Boston Globe; the poll included all MIAA schools of any size!

Eliza Van Voorhis ’17 broke Karen (Geagan) Lopes ’96 twentyyear-old record for career goals in soccer and was named MVP of the Cape & Islands League. Kendall Currence ’18, Brooke Feldott ’19, and Théo Guérin ‘17 were also named All-League for girls’ and boys’ soccer.

Varsity girls’ basketball won their third straight Cape and Islands League championship. Center Eliza Van Voorhis ’17 joined teammate Kendall Currence ’18 in the 1000 point scorers club, becoming the fifth player in FA girls’ basketball history to do so (Sarah Beninghof ’98, Leigh Stokey ’02, Katie Palmer ’05). Eliza, Kendall, and Jane Earley ’18 were named to the All-League Team, as was Justin Bushway ’18 from Henry Stevens’ boys’ squad.

Varsity girls’ lacrosse team finished as undefeated Cape and Island League Champions for the third year in a row. MVP Jane Earley ’18 set a new FA single season record with 120 goals. Also named AllLeague were Eliza Van Voorhis ’17, Brooke Feldott ’19, and Ainsley Ramsey ’20. Sam Colt-Simonds ’19 was named to the boys’ lacrosse All-League team.

Middle School boys’ soccer captured the Cape Cod Super Six soccer championship. Falmouth Academy is a charter member of this young league comprised of independent and parochial middle school programs on the Cape.

OTHER GOOD NEWS Falmouth Academy students undertake many charitable activities throughout the school year from collecting food for our local food pantry to volunteering at a nearby elementary school. At their annual Gala, the students raised $2,500 to support the Cambridge School of Cambodia. The annual Hat & Mitten Tree project garnered 73 hats, 50 gloves/mittens, 33 scarves and 24 pairs of socks for the Falmouth Service Center. In the spring, National Honor Society members built a bookshelf for a local Habitat for Humanity house. Students collected children’s books to stock the shelves and delivered it to the family.

Farewell to Pusit Atthaoraek

Dr. Ginny Edgcomb, Allyson Manchester and Richard Sperduto Falmouth Academy bids farewell to Pusit Atthaoraek, a cherished member of our community who has served on the buildings and grounds staff for over 10 years. While we say goodbye with heavy hearts, we are also excited for him to return to his family in Thailand. His wife Oy, his sisters, and his parents are thrilled to welcome him home at the end of October. Of course, he will always have a second home with us.

Pusit enlivened our community with his vivid range of life experiences. After studying cultural anthropology in college in Thailand, he worked at United Nations refugee camps along the border of Thailand and Laos. Here, he helped with the placement of refugees from the Vietnam and Laos wars. Additionally, he also coached several teams of refugees in volleyball competitions. Pusit enjoyed quite a successful volleyball career himself—he has competed on national volleyball teams and won several big-time championships.

Pusit made several close American friends at the refugee camps. Intrigued by American culture, he decided to move to Seattle, Washington, where he could begin a new job and pursue American citizenship. Pusit’s daughter, Pai Lin, was born in the United States and attended Falmouth Academy (photo). A masterful ballerina, she is now majoring in dance at the University of Utah.

Pusit eventually settled on the East Coast and joined the Falmouth Academy community in 2007. Still, he maintained intimate ties to his homeland. One of his most interesting personal pursuits is his support of a family tractor business. Even while living in the United States, he has traveled to every continent to purchase old Ford tractors and ship them to Thailand. His family then rebuilds the tractors to sell to farmers around the globe.

Whether teaching a lesson on Buddhism to a World Cultures class, organizing a school fundraiser for flood survivors in Bangkok, or breaking wooden boards in his martial arts elective, Pusit always took opportunities to share his wisdom with students, parents, and colleagues. Throughout his time at FA, he also achieved notoriety as an excellent cook. Pusit led popular cooking classes through FA Summer Programs and senior-taught electives. Students and faculty delighted in hearing him ask his favorite question, “Have you eaten yet?” and then seeing him emerge from the kitchen with one of his beloved dishes: spring rolls, Pad Thai, “Seafood Madness,” or mango with sticky rice.

This year, one group of students chose to dedicate their Marconi Beach Day sand sculpture to Pusit. The beautiful tribute included an elephant and an inscription with “Farewell, Mr. A” written in Thai. As college counselor Ruth Slocum reflected on the sculpture, she mused, “Like elephants, we will never forget Mr. A.” Indeed, Pusit’s kindness, diligence, and friendship will forever live in the halls and grounds of the school. We thank him, from the bottom of our very full hearts, for his generous and cheerful spirit. He will be dearly missed here on our Cape Cod corner of the world.

Alumni News Jen (Schneider ’89) and her husband Josh Ziskin are the owners of two restaurants, LaMorra of Brookline (named 2015 Best Italian Restaurant in Boston by Boston Magazine and 2017 Best Italian Restaurant by The Improper Bostonian) and Heritage of Sherborn.

They were recently profiled in Boston Voyager, where Jen said, “Whenever I tell people I own a restaurant (back when we only had one) they would say, oh you must be exhausted, it is such a tough business! I would reply that it was a lot of work, but nothing compared to teaching middle school, which I did before we opened La Morra. I feel a bit different now that we own two restaurants, a wine shop, offer on-site and off-site catering, have four guest rooms and are raising three teenage boys! It is hard work, but the rewards make it truly worth it. I feel very lucky that I love what I do. Heritage has also offered me more opportunity to travel for wine and to learn more as I am studying to be a sommelier. La Morra has an all Italian wine list. Josh and I lead food and wine tours to Italy, so that has always been amazing, but now my wine travels are taking me all over the world!”

Celebrating Mrs. Melillo In June, hundreds of alumni, faculty and old friends came to Falmouth Academy in honor of Mrs. Lalise Melillo, who retired after teaching for 50 years, 40 of which were at FA (pictured with her husband Gerry and son, Ted ’92).

The “Founding Mother” was celebrated in so many ways, including nods from former headmaster Bruce Buxton, and former students Laura Tavares ’94 and Michael Deasy ’10. Bridget Miskell ’07 and Sam Amazeen ’07 presented her with a treasure chest full of praise cards from alumni throughout the years and from around the world.

Bruce Buxton, seen here with Liz (Cook) Hawes ’92 said, “Here is a secret: You build a school on the shoulders of its teachers. In 1989 we placed a plaque at the foot of the stairs here to celebrate the building of our campus in Falmouth.

We quoted Isaac Newton, who, in 1676, writing to the scientist Robert Hooke, 10

quoted 12th century sage Bernard of Chartres. Newton wrote: “If I have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

In our case the little giant school…a small school that from the first punched well above its weight, stood on the shoulders of its remarkable founding faculty. We celebrated then a school built on those shoulders and Lalise was a leader among those leaders, who offered critical wisdom at a critical time in the school’s history. I think of her as a Caryatid of sorts…a pillar in the form of a goddess.

Hers is a voice unusual and insightful. Her experience and insights have enriched the school. I want to be in the line waiting to stand on her shoulders.”

Laura Tavares ’94, now a senior program associate for Facing History and Ourselves, said her life became rooted in education her first day at Falmouth Academy.

Pictured here with her daughter Jane and Julie Taylor, Laura said, “The fact that I became an educator - the fact that I simply could never imagine a more interesting and meaningful way to spend my time - has everything to do with Falmouth Academy and with Mrs. Melillo. I’m speaking from my own experience tonight, but I know there are many people here, in all kinds of professions,

This summer FA celebrated the return of Brian Miskell ’06, a working stage actor in New York City, who participated in The Cape Cod Theatre Project at Falmouth Academy. Many former teachers filled the audience on opening night of “How to Load a Musket,” a look at people who are Revolutionary and Civil War reenactors. In an article in The Falmouth Enterprise (written by Brittany Feldott ’12), Brian said, “It does feel neat to be sitting on the other side of the stage as an adult, a stage I stood on a lot when I was a child.

It’s kind of surreal in a way.”

Brian has appeared in Annie Baker’s “The Antipodes,” “The Flick” and “The Aliens,” which he performed in San Francisco and Washington, DC, and for which he won an award for Best Supporting Actor in 2012 from the DC Metro Theater Arts. Brian is pictured with Lalise Melillo (left) and Elisabeth Munro Ledwell (right).

who would also say that their time in Mrs. Melillo’s classroom was fundamental to what they do, what they value, and who they are. She conveys this feeling that there could be nothing more interesting, nothing more important, than what is happening right then in the classroom and in your own thinking and learning.”

As Bridget Miskell and Sam Amazeen walked up to the podium with a chest of praise cards from hundreds of alumni, it was almost as if they carried the soul of the school with them.

Mike Deasy ’10 and FA humanities teacher (pictured with his parents) will take over the reins of Mrs. Melillo’s Rhetoric class, a signature option for FA seniors.

“As Lalise, the last founding mother, retires, we should feel slightly uneasy, knowing the beauty and depth of this school’s spirit and the work it will take to maintain it, but we can also feel confident, because we have the tools from Lalise’s time here to guide us. We can honor her and all the founding faculty, not by trying to do what they did, or by trying to make ourselves into them. We must remember them by developing our own voices, by working to know our own stories, by sharing our stories with others, and by listening with that sense of deep attentiveness that all the founding mothers brought to this school, that kind of heartfelt devotion that inspires confidence and imagination in young people.”

SAVE THE DATE – Thursday, December 14th – for a talk by Rosie Gray ’08 as part of FA’s Community Series. Rosie, a reporter for The Atlantic and a member of the White House Press Corps, will talk about her experiences in political reporting (photo).

Earlier that day, she will address the student body, and on Friday, she will lead a roundtable discussion at our Alumni College & Career Networking event.

In Rhetoric, Bridget recalled, “Mrs. Melillo worked tirelessly with each of us along the process of self-discovery – identifying our interests and strengths and preparing us to share those learnings with each other. She believed in each of our individual abilities so deeply that you felt as though you were her only student. Our work together came to fruition as we executed our speech teaching lessons, where we each guided our classmates through a finely crafted lesson plan and watched each other become leaders. Mrs. Melillo’s appreciation for each of us was soon shared by all.”

While presenting the alumni gift, Sam said, “Mrs. Melillo, on behalf of all FA alumni, we would like to thank you for helping each of us find our best self and scholar. Although many of us still argue over the Spartans and the Athenians, we can all appreciate your tremendous contribution to this school and to our education. We are all grateful for this opportunity to celebrate your incredible career and send you into a joyous retirement with praise from all of us.”

Transitions 2017-2018 Board of Trustees This past July, Joseph Valle was appointed chair of the Falmouth Academy Board of Trustees; he joined the board in 2014. He succeeds Beth Colt who took over as chair in 2012. Ms. Colt will remain on the board in the role of vice chair and will continue working alongside Mr. Valle and fellow trustees in service to Falmouth Academy.

Mr. Valle, who prefers to be called Joe, is the CEO of the Valle Group, a Falmouth-based family-owned construction company.

He brings business acumen, nonprofit leadership, a background in education and teaching experience to the governance of Falmouth

Academy. He formerly served as chairman of the board of Highfield Hall and as a trustee of Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA. Rob Wells, interim head of school, offered his enthusiastic endorsement saying, “Joe Valle is an individual of great personal integrity and wisdom. I am absolutely confident that Joe will lead the board in a way that serves the school’s mission and guiding values.”

The 2017-2018 Falmouth Academy Board of Trustees also welcomes Linda Boardman, president of Branch Brook Holdings, LLC and parent of Quincy ’20, and Rob Munier, vice president of Marine Facilities and Operations at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The board bid a fond farewell to three devoted longserving members, Victor Aviles, Mark Hutker, and Susan Morse, who had served the school, collectively, for more than 40 years.

FA parent (Thomas ’12, Catherine ’14, and Stephanie ’17) and Falmouth oncologist Vic Aviles joined the board in 2006 and served as a member of the committee on trustees. He and his wife Ann, also a physician, have been dedicated Falmouth Academy volunteers for many years.

2017-2018 Faculty In addition to a full complement of new and returning students, Falmouth Academy opened its doors this September with an enthusiastic crew of new and returning faculty. Rob Wells graciously stepped in to serve this year as interim head of school.

Henry Stevens is serving as interim director of Athletics. Dr. Petra Ehrenbrink started her new role as academic dean and will continue as chair of Foreign Language.

Julie Bradley joined the faculty mid-August as the new director of Admission and Enrollment Management. She returned to the Cape, where she summered as a child, with her husband Kevin after serving seven years in Admissions at Miss Hall's School in Pittsfield, MA. In October, Carmen Disanto will join the faculty as FA’s new Business Manager. Ms. Disanto comes from Tennessee where she worked at the Episcopal School of Knoxville in business administration for seven years (not pictured).

We also welcome the following faculty to Falmouth Academy (pictured above, left to right): Britta Santamauro, director of Library and Media Services; Tessa Steinert Evoy, English and History; Christine Carter, Foreign Language; Ben Parsons, English and Foreign Language; Jana Becker, Foreign Language; and Dr. Joy Lapseritis, Science and Math (not pictured).

Falmouth-based architect Mark Hutker joined the board in 2006 and served as chair of the Facilities Committee for much of his tenure. He oversaw the development of the school’s most recent master plan, and the construction of Morse Hall, the Simon Center for the Arts, and landscaping projects around campus.

On September 16th, the Morse Hall terrace was dedicated as Hutker Yard to recognize the Hutker family’s many leadership contributions to Falmouth Academy over the years. Mark and Carla Hutker’s children Harley ’11 and Evan ’07 are both Falmouth Academy graduates.

Long-time Quissett resident Susan Morse has served Falmouth Academy since 1993. A passionate advocate of the school, Ms. Morse chaired FA’s first Kitchen & Garden Tour in 1995, and has served in a variety of leadership roles since then. She was chair of the board from 2004 to 2012, chaired the Committee on Trustees for many years, and led the capital campaign that raised funds to construct the library/science wing. She continues to serve the school as chair of the current campaign for Falmouth Academy, which is in the final phase of raising funds in support of the Simon Center for the Arts, the meeting hall, and endowments for financial aid and faculty compensation. In recognition of Ms. Morse and her late husband Chip’s commitment to Falmouth Academy, the meeting hall was dedicated Morse Hall in 2015.

“The Falmouth Academy community owes a debt of gratitude to Vic, Mark, and Susan for their commitment, passion and dedication. They have led by example during their tenure on the Board. Their tireless efforts over the years have made Falmouth Academy a better place,” said Mr. Valle. “We are forever grateful for their leadership.”

Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends of Falmouth Academy,

Joseph R. Valle, Chair Beth Colt, Vice Chair Cynthia Feldmann, Treasurer Colleen Johns, Secretary Linda Boardman Scott Brown ’89 Ann Egan Sheila Giancola Henrik Gulmann John Heyl Joan Holden Michael G. Jones Josef M. Kellndorfer Andrew Kingman ’00 H. Russel Lemcke Brett Sanidas Laura Ryan Shachoy Director of Development Pamela Clapp Hinkle

We are grateful to all who have supported the school over the past year, whether it is through the critically important Annual Fund, the Capital Campaign or other special projects.

A remarkable $1,758,849 was raised in 2016-2017: $1,359,600 in support of Campaign objectives including the Simon Center for the Arts and two newly established named endowments: the Alison and Robert Ament Fund for Science and the Lalise Melillo and Founding Faculty Endowment for faculty support; $364,249 for the Annual Fund; and $35,000 for special projects including the renovation of our computer classroom.

The community’s response to the new Simon Center has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. It promises to be a well-loved venue for student concerts and productions and a focal point for community events for years to come. With a little less than $300,000 needed to complete the fundraising for this new facility, we are optimistic that we will be able to bring the Campaign to a close during the 2018 fiscal year.

Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to our students and our school.

We have tried to make this report as complete and accurate as possible as of June 30, 2017. We appreciate your sharing with us any errors or omissions. Thank you.

The GAM

Thanks to the foresight of our founders, tenacity of our dynamic faculty, and generosity of a generation of donors, our school community has grown dramatically. Today more than 200 students and 50 faculty gather each weekday morning in Morse Hall for All-School Meeting to share, explain, and build community. This facility, as well as the new Simon Center for the Arts, and all that we do at Falmouth Academy are made possible thanks to the generosity of the hundreds of donors listed in this year’s Gratitude Report.

We would like to especially thank long-time friend of the school, Bonnie Ward Simon, whose transformational gift in honor of her husband Stephen, enabled the naming of the beautiful new Simon Center for the Arts. The Simon Center celebrated its grand opening on July 3rd with a standing-room-only concert by the engaging Harlem Quartet.

A little more than forty years ago a group of educators imagined a school where a rigorous curriculum was integrated with strong extracurricular offerings in the fine and performing arts and athletics. That vision became a reality in 1977, when Falmouth Academy was founded.

High standards of personal achievement, vigorous engagement in all aspects of school life, and participation in community service were—and still are—central to FA’s mission.

Alumni and Student Giving Alumni gifts in 2016-2017 supported financial assistance for current students. The goal of the 2017 Spirit Week Challenge, in which all alumni gifts honored retiring founding faculty member Lalise Melillo, was to increase individual class participation to 40% or more. The winning class was 1996, followed closely by the Classes of 1990 and 2007. Thank you to all of our alumni donors!

We give a special thank you to Anna dos Santos for chairing this committee again even though her son graduated the previous year!

The Auction Fund-a-Need benefited the computer room redesign and installation of a high-speed network. We are grateful for additional funding from the Benedict Foundation for Independent Schools to complete this initiative.

“Cape Cod Idyll,” an oil painting, donated by renowned landscape artist Joseph McGurl, was a highlight of this year’s auction. We are grateful to Joe and Patricia, parents of Max ’09 and Sean ’11, for their generous donation again this year.

Huge appreciation goes to Gates and Kate Rickard, parents of Alex ’22, for donating the delicious victuals from their Main Street Falmouth restaurant, Bear in Boots. Selections ranged from beautiful cheese boards to pulled pork sandwiches to mouthwatering bite-sized desserts.

Volunteers Parents, families friends, alumni, students and others give generously of their time, expertise, and creativity – and sometimes their homes – to ensure the continued success of Falmouth Academy. The following helped at various events during the school year.
