All Saints’ Episcopal School of Fort Worth administers its personnel, academic, extracurricular and tuition assistance programs without regard to gender, race, religion, ethnicity or national origin.

From Tad’s Desk

Anyone who has kayaked whitewater knows and values the term eddying out. Navigating churning waters with boulders is not for the faint of heart, takes careful planning, tremendous energy, courage, grit and faith. It also takes an awareness of when to take a break to recover. Awareness of the eddy is one thing, actively seeking it for a time out is another. Even for the most seasoned river-driver, it is important to find a safe, calm zone to take a break, to catch one’s breath, in preparation for the next stretch of the run. Eddying out should be part of a well-planned, enriching and meaningful excursion.

Social scientists have long known of the importance of stepping back or taking time to reflect after vigorous exercise or serious challenges as part of balancing the vicissitudes of life. Theologians recognize the same.

Following the loss of John the Baptist, and before he shared the five loaves and the two fish with the masses, Jesus tries to take a break. “Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns (Mt. 14:13).” After the thousands were fed, he attempts to do the same again. “Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he dismissed the crowds, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray (Mt. 14: 22-23).” Often, I am struck with the profound simplicity and applicability found in Scripture.

2019-2020 will be our 68th year of existence as a School community.

We began our life as a neighborhood preschool in the basement of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in 1951. Grades expanded through the decades culminating with our first graduating class in 1989. The Early Childhood classes, which originated in the basement of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, were shuttered by this time, as the Church was expanding its ministry and the School was wrestling with its own growth issues.

In 2009, we experienced our “back-to-the-future” moment when we relaunched our Early Childhood program. In May, we celebrated our 31st graduating class, the Class of 2019. During the 2019-2020 School year, we will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our revitalized Early Childhood Program, widely and appreciably recognized as the best in this region. In short, we are 68 years young.

I am deeply grateful for all of the hard work of our community – our students, faculty, staff, administration, parents and alumni – who make our community strong, and who are committed to ensuring we remain strong in the years to come. In his letter, Chris Gunnin, Head of St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, and Chair of the Visiting Team wrote,

“It was a pleasure to chair the visit at All Saints’ Episcopal School in Fort Worth, from February 10-13, 2019. My hope, as the chair of the Visiting Team, is that the commendations we leave you affirm that All Saints’ has made extraordinary strides in fulfilling its mission and in growing institutionally in the 10 years since the last accreditation visit.” In his parting remarks to the faculty, he asked we take time to savor the commendations before launching headlong into the recommendations. Code for reflect and consider next steps before actually taking them. Over the course of this year, therefore, we will share the Summary Commendations and Recommendations, beginning with the former in this edition of Innovate, see page 50.

All of the commendations are noteworthy, but one in particular stands out for me because it speaks to our relentless pursuit of excellence in all we set out to do. “The commitment to improvement is a praiseworthy and defining aspect of the All Saints’ culture. Dedication to continual growth at individual and institutional levels is impressive.” A good school provides a safe environment with high expectations allowing young people to explore and grow. A great school does the above, but never rests on its laurels, expects excellence in each arena, providing the program and space for our children to become the best version of themselves. A great school is mission-driven and OUTCOME-based.

The good news is we have come a long way in 68 years. Even better news is there is much work for us to engage in the years ahead. Those who know me best know it is difficult for me to eddy out; but I have and I do, especially if I want to navigate successfully the next lengths.

I look forward to our next stretches together.

Blessings,

Tad Bird Head of School

Middle School Field Hockey

By Ryan Kilpatrick ’03

Jonathan Song ’15

There are a lot of stories I could tell about Coach Gonzo, including the time I broke his hip at a football game and he stayed and continued to coach, although he moved to the press box for the rest of the season. I think the recurring theme in all of the stories is about his positive influence and the impact he has had on my life as a student, through college and still to this day.

I met Coach Gonzo for the first time when I came to All Saints’ in the summer of 2001. Instantly, I knew he was more than just a coach. He was also a warm-hearted, caring individual who really wanted the kids he worked with to be better, not just in the sports he coached or the classes he taught, but in all aspects of life. Gonzo’s gift was then, and is still to this day, his ability to show genuine interest in his students’ passions, making them feel valued and important, and increasing their sense of well-being.

Coach Gonzo taught me that our actions, our friends and our environment influence who we become. But most important, our actions and words influence others, and we have the power to spread positivity and encouragement. Gonzo’s warmth and compassion have always been traits to which I aspire.

Rob Smat ’13

By Charlie Reid ’13 I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Gonzo since my big brother Jake ’11 was in Middle School. Gonzo taught me and Jake what it meant to respect our fellow man; if we ever saw anyone down – whether it be a friend, an acquaintance, or even a stranger – to always pick them back up and do whatever we can to brighten their day because everyone is fighting a tough battle.

Charlie Reid ’13 and Foster Sawyer ’14

Gonzo showed us that most moments, big or small, should be met with patience and positivity because every obstacle we are faced with is a new opportunity to learn. Finally, Gonzo, Jake and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for always being present for us and every student you’ve had before and after us. Thank you for being our Gonzo, te amamos padre, we are proud of you, and happy next chapter!

WHEN NEWS BROKE THAT DOZENS OF INDIVIDUALS WERE THE FOCUS OF AN FBI INVESTIGATION INTO FRAUD WITHIN COLLEGE ADMISSION, IT CAPTURED THE ATTENTION OF MANY OF US ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. ONCE IT BECAME APPARENT THAT COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND A SMATTERING OF CELEBRITIES WERE SOMEHOW INVOLVED, WE HAD A FULL-BLOWN SCANDAL ON OUR HANDS AND THE STORY TOOK OFF. AS THE COURT APPEARANCES, DOLLAR SIGNS, FIRINGS, AND SENSATIONAL DETAILS PILED UP, SO DID A PALPABLE SENSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT WITHIN THE PUBLIC. While there is no excuse for the dishonorable behavior displayed by those involved, I couldn’t help but feel some empathy, too. Yes, many involved were plainly driven by greed and pride, but some of them seemed to have felt a sense of desperation and lack of faith, which is the saddest root of corruption.

for merit dollars earned and averaged an impressive 73% acceptance rate, and they did it all with an uncompromising commitment to honor and character. What those numbers don’t always show, but is ever-present in the halls of the School, is the honest, authentic and faithful effort Saints apply day in and day out.

Who was involved and complicit?

What means were used to cheat? How do we safeguard the process moving forward?

Several students were hanging out in the College Advising office (read: rummaging for snacks) the week after the story made the news and we couldn’t help but share a few good-natured jokes about the more ridiculous aspects of the scandal. Ultimately, we arrived at the question many of our young applicants and families really do have in mind: What does this mean for us?

As with every year, the graduating class’s numbers in terms of college placement, test scores, curtain calls, scholarships, trophies hoisted, and hours spent in fellowship and service speak for themselves. This year, the Class of 2019 appreciably broke the record

This doesn’t mean that they, as human beings, don’t feel inklings of doubt and intimidation; what matters is that we, as a community, band together to encourage them to never stop believing in themselves, which means they need to hear from us loud and clear that we stand firmly in their corner.

The Class of 2019 had another incredible year of outcomes, and there is no shortage of things we can point to and lift up. Even though nature threw us a curve ball in the form of wind and rain the morning of Commencement and nobody, except Mr. Worden, had photo-ready hair, it was perfect for us because we were all together as a steadfast and happy family, and our graduates deserved every single bit of applause they received.

I have worked with children in the field in Vietnam, Rwanda, Kenya and Mexico, amongst others, and am very proud of all that we have achieved.” In 2016, Sterling received the UNICEF Champion for Children Award for her dedication to helping children globally.

She also received the President’s Volunteer Service Award from President Barack Obama.

“My hope is that my music can bring a little joy to people’s lives and that my story can inspire others to chase their dreams and do what makes them happy.”

Hudson Moore ’08 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Singer, Songwriter, Musician

Named one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know,” this critically acclaimed singer/songwriter is quickly building a loyal fan-base across the country. As an independent artist, Moore has amassed more than 28 million views on YouTube and over 15 million streams on Spotify, all without the support from a major label. Moore, who has a reputation as a great live performer, has earned opening slots for ZZ Top, Alan Jackson, Rascal Flatts, Eli Young Band, Chris Young, Hunter Hayes, Jake Owen, Gary Clark Jr., Martina McBride, and more. Moore recently announced his 2019 Headline Tour, which will make stops in Chicago, Atlanta, D.C., Birmingham, Myrtle Beach, Dallas, Austin, Houston and the All Saints’ campus! Hudson will play at Concert on the Great Lawn, Friday, October 11, thanks to a generous sponsorship by FAME (event details on page 76).

“I’m very blessed to be doing what I love - writing, performing and playing music. I’m so excited about the new music I’ve released this year and I’m looking forward to performing on campus this fall - it will be surreal. I hope everyone can make it out. It’s going to be a party for sure!”

Rob Smat ’13

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Film Writer/Director B.F.A., Cinema & Media Studies, University of Southern California Having grown up with a fascination in film, Smat founded the All Saints’ Film Club during his high school career, and he recently learned that his lifelong hobby could become a career.

With almost 200 short movies, commercials, and PR projects on his résumé, Smat returned to his roots to film and direct his first major motion picture, The Last Whistle, on All Saints’ campus.

The film has won several awards at film festivals including Best Actress and Best Feature Film, and premiered in select theaters across Los Angeles, New York and Dallas-Fort Worth in June 2018. This is pretty impressive considering Smat and his crew were told it was impossible to make a football film for less than $5 million and they did it for under $500,000.

Jonny Auping ’08 DALLAS, TEXAS Freelance Writer - New York Magazine, SUCCESS magazine, Texas Monthly, The New Yorker, VICE B.A., English, Saint Louis University “In the world of freelance writing, the typical process of pitching a big, reported story is: you try to convince a publication to let you write a story, then, when they say yes, you go report and write it. When I first started, I couldn’t convince anyone to say yes, so I just reported and wrote stories first and sent editors full drafts. That’s how I got my first couple big bylines. I don’t know if I’d recommend that, because it leads to a lot of heartbreak.

Thankfully, I don’t have to use that strategy as much anymore, but I still will if I believe in the story enough.”

You have to understand all aspects of production to really wow a potential employer. You also have to be ready to work twice as much for half as much money. People will say that you don’t have a “real job,” even when the pay is good. You will dread the question, “So what do you do?” because you will never have a good enough answer. You will feel like your only advocate. Push through. Be amazing at your “fake job.”

Sloan Struble ’18 AUSTIN, TEXAS Musician, professionally known as Dayglow

Sloan Struble, professionally known as Dayglow, released his debut album, a bright bedroom-pop piece called “Fuzzy Brain,” last September and has already collected more than 10 million streams on Spotify. Struble’s music video, “Hot Rod,” was recently featured by Texas Monthly in the Texas Monthly Recommends series. The author raved, “I was impressed by the distinct voice and sense of self that emanated from Dayglow’s first album.

With its Wes Anderson-like charm, the music video for “Hot Rod” further proved the self-made artist is something special.

Dayglow is unmistakably whimsical, relatable, and a breath of fresh air.”

“I want optimism to be evident in my music. I don’t think there’s enough optimistic artists right now.”

“This summer I had the opportunity to work with UnBound, an anti-human trafficking non-profit that I worked with for my senior capstone project. Much to my surprise, it was the All Saints’ Honors College that found me my greatest passion. At UnBound, I did everything from victim services for police stings to teaching middle school girls how to stay safe from exploitation, to working directly with survivors and showing them what healthy relationships look like, as well as helping them get back on track for a safe, dignified life. My time at UnBound has been the best experience of my life. It not only made me more empathetic to the struggles of those around me, but also allowed me to see people for who they are instead of a label placed on them by society.

In the fall, I will be working directly for the Global Health Director of the Better World Campaign at the United Nations Foundation (the United States’ liaison to the United Nations). As opposed to my experience working directly with human rights victims at UnBound, I will be working the policy and legal side of issues, attending hearings on Capitol Hill.

A NOTE FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT As a proud member of the All Saints’ Alumni Association Board for the past seven years, it has been amazing to see the dedication of previous and current board members propel us to where we are today. As the number of our alumni has grown, so has the impact the Alumni Association is able to make on current and future members.

by Bailey McGuire ’03 Alumni Board President

Our focus is not only to provide an avenue for connecting with former classmates but also to provide networking and growth opportunities throughout the many life stages our alumni encounter. We want to connect young alumni with current Upper School students so they can share their collegiate experiences to better prepare them for the journey ahead.

We continue to grow Saints to Saints, a digital networking platform where All Saints’ Alumni can share job opportunities, business contacts, career guidance, and more. We are building an Executive Leadership Speaker Series where alumni are invited to hear from inspirational and transformative personalities from the All Saints’ community as they share the lessons they’ve learned throughout their careers. We continue to recognize an outstanding alum for their contributions to society through our annual Distinguished Alumni Awards ceremony. We are growing the Kent Henning Scholarship and Endowment Fund, which awards financial

assistance to children of alumni who attend All Saints’ through fundraising efforts like our annual Clay Shoot. These are just a few of the great things we are focusing on this year, so I encourage everyone to get involved and give back to the next generation of Saints.

We would not have come this far without the help and support of the School, and I would like to personally thank Katie Berkovsky ’06 for her service as the Alumni and Parent Relations Manager over the past five years. We wish Katie all the best as she starts her new career.

As we continue the momentum and progress we’ve gained, we are excited to announce our new Alumni and Parent Relations Manager, Adair Ewin ’09 Shannon. Adair is a graduate of All Saints’ and served as the 2008-2009 Student Body President. She has been an active member of the All Saints’ Alumni Board for the past two years and is currently serving as Secretary. Adair is returning to All Saints’ from the Kimbell Art Museum, where she was Tour Programs Coordinator. Adair brings a lot of energy and great ideas to this role, and I have no doubt she will be an invaluable asset to our School, continuing to strengthen and grow our alumni and parent relations.

COMMENDABLE

PROGRESS

By Tad Bird, Head of School

In February, we hosted a site visit from our accrediting agencies, the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools and the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, as part of our ongoing accreditation process.

The process is not static, but fluid over a repeating 10-year cycle; the visit completes the cycle.

The Visiting Team of twenty-three seasoned educators from well-respected peer schools, spent time with all constituencies, listening and sharing their expertise. At the conclusion of their visit, they compiled a report with both commendations and recommendations. This article addresses the commendations, and not one surprises me. I hope you share my appreciation for our special community of Saints and all that we have accomplished in the last 10 years and every day.

50 | INNOVATE Fall 2019

There is a palpable sense of pride at All Saints’ among students, faculty, staff, parents, school leaders, alumni and trustees. All Saints’ is clearly a nurturing Christian environment where students are known and loved individually and invited into and guided through academic, personal and spiritual growth. Members of each constituency exude enthusiasm and gratitude for their school community.

All Saints’ students are warm, respectful and engaged, and faculty are consistently lauded for their deep love for their students and their tireless commitment to their growth.

The breadth of programmatic offerings at All Saints’ is commendable and the result of providing such a rich array of academic, artistic, athletic and spiritual opportunities is that Saints are afforded opportunities to discover individual passions and to become the best versions of themselves. The Visiting Team notes significant strengthening of programs with the Fine Arts offerings so that the identity of the school community is shifting in positive and noteworthy ways.

All Saints’ has achieved commendable financial strength as an institution, and credit is because of the Board of Trustees, School leadership, Advancement personnel, the Business Office and donors for their collective strategic decision-making, careful planning, sound budgeting, disciplined spending and philanthropic engagement.

The commitment to improvement is a praiseworthy and defining aspect of the All Saints’ culture. Dedication to continual growth at individual and institutional levels is impressive. The School has experienced transformational growth from a modest parish day school to a premier early childhood through college preparatory community. The decade since the last self-study has been marked by enrollment expansion, campus construction, programmatic additions and enhancements, and key strategic hiring.

The All Saints’ campus is a carefully planned and intentionally designed facility that beautifully supports daily life and impacts and inspires the community. The campus provides a healthy and attractive environment that supports the mission of the School. The School’s commitment to safety and security, academic excellence, spiritual and personal growth, and health and wellness are at once reflected in and supported by stunning facilities. Furthermore, the campus is beautifully maintained by professional staff and by the community.

The School’s commitment to regular worship in the Anglican tradition and to religious study demonstrates that the School’s faith tradition is integral to its definition of self. The Visiting Committee notes that the School is structured, scheduled, organized, constructed and staffed to support students’ spiritual journeys and faith formation through age-appropriate worship service and academic coursework. Campus-wise, the School is faithful to Episcopal liturgy, practices and traditions.

These summary commendations were paired with seven recommendations, which I look forward to sharing with you in the Spring issue of Innovate, alongside a new, five-year strategic roadmap. Stay tuned.

Stimulating the Senses - Izy Logan ’19

STIMULATING THE SENSES

Izy Logan ’19 won Honorable Mention in the Regional Scholastic Art Contest for her portfolio, a personal visual investigation of her synesthesia.

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which the stimulation of one cognitive pathway triggers an immediate and involuntary response through a separate sensory pathway. “Having synesthesia has made my entire world an artistic experience full of color and energy. I hope after viewing and experiencing my visual exploration of synesthesia, awareness and understanding of the condition will be reached.”

RISING STARS

In April, 10 Upper School photography students placed 3rd in the Association of Texas Photography Instructors’ (ATPI) annual Rising Star Photography Program contest for their Landscape/ Nature portfolio: Matthew Bolding ’19, Cameron Cook ’20, Louis Du ’19, Mary Caroline Hatcher ’20, Maddie Hiley ’20, Kort Kuenstler ’19, T Loffland ’19, Izy Logan ’19, Anna Tisdale ’19 and Catherine Watkins ’20.

62 | INNOVATE Fall 2019

IN CENTRAL PARK, I GREW UP AND WEPT This scene follows Holden Caulfield from J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in The Rye, playing off iconic moments in the book where Holden goes to Central Park and wonders where the ducks go when the water freezes over, though now modern-day New York City is afflicted by the effects of climate change. The character Franny is a reference to Salinger’s book Franny and Zooey, where she experiences an existential crisis culminated by a sudden faint. There are references to both works throughout the story; however, they are not vital to understanding the theme of climate change through the eyes of the youth.

Driving, or rather being driven, I pasted my eyes to the window displaying New York’s tacit theatricality.

The sun had an affinity for New York. And who could blame her? - for the artistry of the city allured most, even me. The sun was enticed and lured out of hibernation though it was only March. I turned this observation over in my mind as I sat in the backseat of a taxicab. We stopped in the ambiguous streets; I paid the driver, gathered my coat, and emerged from the yellow vehicle. The sidewalks of New York City were the great equalizers of society. Everyone was no one, and yet everyone was someone. The city was an ongoing process of reinvention, and I too wanted to be reinvented. I pounded the pavement as if it owed me something. I walked the same streets as artists, Wall Street phonies, noisy musicians, left-footed dancers, those who are in search, and those who have already found. And I wandered amongst them, surveying the architecture contrasted with glimpses of nature as if it was all really mine - as if it would ever be mine.

I was on my way to meet a friend. Franny was one of those girls who’s like every other girl, who, on the subway, falls asleep on your shoulder and makes your whole arm numb. Franny, who hates her cell phone because it never rings, though I cherish mine for the same reason. Franny is the type of girl who calls you, not just texts you, but calls to ask if you would like to go for a walk in a world where no one walks unless they’re going somewhere. And no one walks in March. Not in New York. Not when the snow piles on your shoes and makes your socks feel soggy. Not when runny noses seem to freeze like icicles. And I was the type of character who agrees to meet her anyway.

“I just want to know where the ducks in that lagoon in Central Park go when the water freezes over.” I sauntered next to her with my hands dug into my coat pockets.

“They’re gone, Holden. They’ve been gone for years.” Franny answered. She held her arms out and pretended to walk on a tightrope. “The Earth is warmer than it was when we were younger. The water doesn’t freeze; it evaporates, and then it’s gone.” I remained perplexed, offended.

“You didn’t notice what was happening right in front of you? You didn’t notice the changes? The pollution, the rising sea levels, the natural disasters, the increasing temperatures?” she inquired.

We came to a stop, and I didn’t answer her rhetorical inquiry. I couldn’t come up with a response or even a reaction.

“I feel dizzy, Holden. You’re really challenging, you know that? I mean not even in the intellectual sense.

I mean it’s a challenge for me not to faint with all your emotions. All your feelings and realizations. Can’t we just go to the park without the whole world ending?”

“You think it’s ending?” She didn’t care for my reply.

“Could you absolutely stop?” And I absolutely stopped my sudden remarks.

“Go for a walk, Holden. Go cool off.” Boy, did I need it.

I grew up on the streets of New York and knew Central Park like the back of my hand - the sidewalks where I skinned my knees, the museum all the school kids were forced into every Saturday and how it smelled of coffee and the color brown; I remembered the zoo, the bicycles, the tourists.

But if I came back, it would be different somehow. I would be different. Some natural disaster would have happened in some country I’d never heard of, and even if it didn’t affect me or my family, I would be different. There would be pungent gasoline puddles on the street, and I would have seen my reflection in the manmade mess, and I would be different from that. The temperatures have only begun to rise, the increasing precipitation would drown us and our delayed action. Spring would arrive earlier, stay longer.

God’s natural playground would pass by in a rapid

carousel of images as I stare out the window of the taxi, and I would be different somehow. I understand what they meant when they said beauty is fleeting. If only I had looked - I mean really, really look - at the world around me. There’s so much to take in, so much at risk.

And it’s right here - it’s all right here! Would my little sister get to experience it? Would the skyline remain this brilliant throughout her lifetime?

I kept walking. Movement felt like treading water, however overwhelming smoke replaced any pure fragrance the outdoors could offer. I purchased an apple, paying in coins and scraps and allowing the seller to keep the excess. I purchased freshness, life, the edible offerings of Earth for however long it might last. I ate with complacency, cold and crisp and tediously sour asymmetric bites I chewed and swallowed.

I could have retired to my phone, with its nondegradable metals, and called someone, so as not to be burdened with my own inner voice. I could have hummed a song, scavenged for earbuds and let the music overshadow my guilt. I could have read a book assembled from trees that once were, but I can no longer read their books with characters and faces that look like every other character and face you’ve ever seen. I can no longer read their pages - their words - and pretend that it means something. They just leave words on the page, these writers! I mean they just leave them there, and it’s beautiful and all, but they don’t agonize over every sentence so as to really feel something. They don’t write as if all the beauty of Earth is at risk: even though it is.

From my lungs, I coughed society’s collaborative pollution. No one told me when I was younger that the cars in which I pasted my eyes to the window, the city where I skinned my knees, the city that I dare call my own, were causing the destruction of the planet. In my deep disillusion, I came to the assertion that since its conception, the Earth was dying. If one day it is here, and the next day it is not - if today the wind and snow and rain, the trees and grass and greenery, the oceans and fish and fields and birds and life are here, then today I shall take pleasure in it all. The rotation of the Earth did not seem to slow enough for me to catch my mental balance. I smiled at my own ignorance, for as long as there is oxygen to be inhaled, wonders to be seen, beauty to be absorbed - as long as this magnificent green dot is moving, it is indeed alive.
