From Tad’s Desk
I am in awe of the power of stories. Always have been. From my earliest memories of such classics as A.A. Milne’s The House at Pooh Corner series, to Rudyard Kipling’s RikkiTikki-Tavi and The Jungle Book, to C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia, Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, to the Greatest Story Ever Told, The Holy Bible, and countless works in between. Great stories have been omnipresent in my life.
The earliest encouragement into the wonder of stories was fostered by my mother. She was a readily recognized bibliophile who shared her love for reading with me. If you were not running around outside getting “…the wiggles out” as she would say, “…go immerse yourself in a book and consider how you might pen your own stories.” So, the die was cast. I have always valued the treasure of a great story because the best of these is about our humanity.
There is great humility underscoring our story, the All Saints’ story, which continues to be penned by our students, teachers, alumni, and other members in our community. Innovate illuminates these stories from every part of our community.
Consider the chapter where we celebrate Robin Page Messer, our founding Early Childhood Division Head, as recipient of our 2024 Saint Sophia Award and Commencement Speaker, or our 2024 Distinguished
Alumni Award Recipient, Kevin Claunch ’10, and his steadfast commitment to excellence in academic and personal endeavors, and his commitment to serve our country. The same unfolds with narratives from Chris Jambor ’13 and Ellie Fanning ’95 who have both found their genius within through quite varied paths. Each of these individuals has had an indelible impact on our community, and each is a selfless servant leader in their respective communities.
Consider the chapter outlining the development of our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) programming in each Division. These advances and opportunities parallel and complement our strong core curriculum rooted in the timeless educational liberal arts tenets of the Western tradition.
Welcome to a continued narrative of excellence, with eyes on a Perfection we cannot fully understand, yet fully embrace as our beacon.

THE 2024 DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENT
Kevin Claunch ’10
Kevin Claunch, MD ’10 is a board-certified pediatrician in the United States Navy and is currently stationed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, where he is completing a fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases. A lifetime Saint, Kevin attributes the foundational education and mentorship he received at All Saints’ to his future academic success and molding him into a servant-leader dedicated to serving his country and improving the lives of all children.
After graduating from All Saints’, Kevin attended Texas Christian University on a Dean’s Scholarship and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in biology with minors in chemistry and classical studies. At TCU, he cultivated his passion for biomedical research as an American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Undergraduate Research Fellow for which he presented his senior honors thesis research on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms at the ASM national meeting in Boston, MA, and received TCU’s Paul Boller Award for the University’s best senior thesis presentation in 2014. Kevin continued his research training and earned a Master of Science in Biology at TCU in 2016 prior to enrolling in medical school, a decision which has enabled him to engage in a unified medical research and patient care approach to clinical practice. Kevin has since published several basic science and clinical research articles in journals such as Microbe, RSC Advances, and the Journal of Perinatology both as the first author and as a co-investigator. His most recent publication on pediatric eye infections was selected by the American Academy of Pediatrics as the best manuscript from the Section on Uniformed Services in 2023.
Kevin attended Texas A&M University College of Medicine for medical school, earning his MD in 2020 along with the Outstanding Student in Pediatrics award. He then commissioned as a lieutenant in the United States Navy and started residency in pediatrics at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Virginia at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. He describes his time in residency as harrowing, working long hours caring for the most fragile and vulnerable of patients, but also fulfilling, affirming and enriching. During residency, Kevin spearheaded a quality improvement project to update over 200 hours of board exam review content and adapt content to virtual formats during the pandemic. He also brokered a partnership between his residency program and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to fill knowledge gaps. This initiative was awarded first place at the 2022 Defense Health Agency Quality Symposium and directly contributed to a 100% board exam pass rate for the pediatric residency program over the last three consecutive years.
Kevin not only credits All Saints’ with giving him the tools he has needed to be a lifelong learner and community leader, but also for allowing him to meet his wife of 10 years, Meredith Reese Claunch ’10. A devoted husband and father of two girls, Reese (8) and Scarlett (4), Kevin strives every day to give the best version of himself to his family, his patients and his country.

TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING ART MATH
THE FIVE YEAR DIFFERENCE
Over the last five years, All Saints’ has made intentional programmatic shifts across campus with respect to experiential learning and technology. The creation and launch of the Lower School Exploratorium in 2019 and subsequent launches of the Early Childhood Tinkertorium and Middle School Design Lab changed the instructional landscape in their respective Divisions. More recently, the Upper School released an impressive host of elective opportunities in computer science, AI, 3D printing, fabrication, engineering and design. All Saints’ has entered into a new age of applied sciences and innovation.
While the programs are distinctly unique to their age groups, the faculty behind the scenes found common ground in their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) foundations. This group of teachers naturally became a professional learning community.
Last fall, the teacher cohort gathered to discuss the creation of a STEAM and Innovation department with the encouragement of our Chief Financial Officer Becky Grimmer and Dean of Curriculum and Academic Support Dr. Jordan Amy ’07. The group created a mission statement, identified critical skills and programmatic components, and developed a scope and sequence from Early Childhood through Upper School. Skills developed in one Division would support the work of the next, and the teachers themselves would have a cohort of peers to help with instructional decision-making.
MISSION
The All Saints’ STEAM and Innovation program fosters a dynamic learning environment where students problem solve while failing forward through the processes of engineering and design thinking. We encourage students to explore, connect, and engage with the world around them. Our programs nurture creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for continuous learning, equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape and make meaningful contributions to society.

• BRIDGE K: Build on the concepts learned in Pre-K, focusing more on the planning phase and asking questions before building; collaborate to revise and improve their ideas, setting their own destinations and coding to solve problems
LOWER SCHOOL EXPLORATORIUM
The Lower School Exploratorium offers a dynamic, hands-on STEAM curriculum tailored to different grade levels from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.
• KINDERGARTEN: Explore STEAM concepts through the “Storybook STEM” theme, with activities tied to the weekly story; develop fine motor skills in small groups, engage in Lego Coding Express robotics, and participate in a project-based learning unit designing a family shield for the Cinderella Ball
• FIRST GRADE: Under the “Wonder and Wander” theme, ask questions about the world, build models, and try new technologies; achieve tool certification for basic tools like pencils and scissors, use Lego WeDo 2.0 robotics, and undertake a project based learning unit that combines science, math and social studies called “The Geo City” project
• SECOND GRADE: Focus on the “Stretch and Grow” theme, making observations, asking questions, and developing hypotheses; begin experiencing elements of the design process, achieving tool
Second Grade’s Habitat Expedition
certification for more advanced tools like tape measures and hot glue guns, and using Lego WeDo 2.0 and Spike Essentials robotics; engage in projectbased learning units like WeatherBug and The Habitat Expedition
• THIRD GRADE: Leverage “Deep Dive into New Meaning” theme to learn the fundamentals of engineering and design, collaborate with peers, and use tools like microscopes and dissection tools; engage in “To Infinity and Beyond” project to learn about our Solar System
• FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES: Delve into the “Develop My Learning Style” theme, where students explore learning styles, understand engineering and design processes, and reflect on their learning independently and collaboratively; achieve certification for a wide range of tools, including drones and a scroll saw; utilize Lego Spike Essentials and Prime robotics; engage in projectbased learning units like “The Dig” and “The Roald Dahl Experience” (Fourth Grade) and “Personal
Inquiry Project” (Fifth Grade), a yearlong inquiry process on a topic of their choice, mirroring the Senior Capstone project, and present their findings in a format of their choice
To help facilitate the exceptional application of these lessons, the team recommended a new position for the 2024-2025 school year. The Lower School Computer Science Teaching and Learning Specialist will provide instructional coaching for technology applications in the classroom and co-teach lessons in computer science, digital technical skills, digital citizenship, coding and introductory artificial intelligence topics.
The annual Lower School STEAM Night is another great example of the ways our community has adopted the importance and excitement of this developing program. The all-in event allows parents and students to engage with Lower School faculty and Upper School students in hands-on, familyoriented activities.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
The transition to Middle School is where exploration crosses to application for our STEAM and Innovation classes. Students build on the basics learned in Lower School and hone their skills in logic and reasoning, data analysis, and problemsolving.
Starting in Middle School, students have the opportunity to choose from a variety of handson and technology-based STEAM electives. The STEM Lab is a technology-focused space where courses are offered in computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, engineering, 3D design and fabrication, and drones. STEM Lab classes give the opportunity to interact with not only computers but hands-on technologies such as 3D printers, robots, and drones.
In the Middle School Design Lab elective courses, students engage in hands-on work with a variety of tools. Students develop problem-solving and planning skills in the three course levels offered: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Students participate in creative projects that require them to plan and execute their own designs as well
as collaborate and communicate with others. Although most of the work in the Design Lab is hands-on, technology is integrated through computer design, such as designing and printing using the Glowforge 3D laser printer.

Although STEAM is sometimes used interchangeably with STEM, the following two alumni stories will articulate that art is actually a critical component to the STEAM combination.
We hope you enjoy these personal stories that highlight real-world applications of STEAM in action. The continued and intentional work All Saints’ teachers are doing to increase meaningful connections across subject areas is critically important.
PILOTING STEAM
by Chris Jambor ’13
The job of piloting an AH-64 Apache is STEAM epitomized. However, in my view, flying is more characteristically an art. It is a rhythmic, live performance that demands patience, practice and presence. In fact, I picked this job so I could do art and pay the bills.
The first time I took the controls on an aircraft, I was 11 years old. My uncle and chief role model, James Jambor, took me for a flight in a Cessna 152 around Meacham Airport. As I steered the yoke of that small airplane, I knew I wanted to be a pilot when I grew up.
James passed away shortly after those few first flights with him, leaving me to find my way in piloting life. I had loving friends, family, and teachers. I took tough classes, wrestled, played football, and performed in multiple plays and musicals at All Saints’. Filmmaking was my prime interest because it blended collaboration, technical knowledge, and artistry. After three years of pursuing a degree in film production at the University of Texas at Austin, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an 88M (Motor Transport Operator).
Four years later, during COVID, I served on a nine-month rotation from Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos) through Germany and Poland, and experienced the isolating reality of life away from home. I reconnected with my childhood dream of flying and, upon returning stateside, I submitted a dense “warrant packet,” a comprehensive application to join the Warrant Officer Cohort as a Rotary Wing Aviator. I began flight training in the beginning of 2023.
Chris Jambor ’13 with his wife Katie Hale Jambor ’13
Flight training challenged and humbled me, but the collaborative culture among flight students sustained me.
The demanding environment tested our mental and physical endurance. My peers and I brought effort, dedication, and perspective to the daily grind. Our flight instructors, who were seasoned veterans of the aviator profession, transformed each of us from “hazardous cargo” to competent air crew members. The whole community of instructors, students, and family members formed a perfect support system to perform that difficult transformation.
Now that I have graduated school and qualified as an AH-64 Apache aviator, I am back at the bottom of the ladder. I am an unprogressed, brand-new pilot at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, trying to help the team in any way I can. I look forward to applying what I learned in school in order to support an operational unit. I hope I have what it takes to become a Pilot-in-Command and later, a Maintenance Test Pilot or Instructor Pilot. Finally, if the day ever comes where I’m asked to use these skills in battle, I will be ready.

STEAM STORYTELLING
by Ellie Fanning ’95
Over 20 years ago, I began my journey in Boston after earning an MA in Marketing from Webster University Vienna. Starting as the sales and marketing assistant at MIT’s Technology Review Magazine, I later moved west to Summit Entertainment as a creative marketing manager, overseeing campaigns for films like The Twilight Saga and The Hurt Locker.
Driven by a fascination with technology’s role in marketing during the rise of digital marketing platforms, I transitioned to the tech industry by becoming the MarComms Manager at Bottle Rocket Studios, a leading iOS app development agency later acquired by WPP. Subsequently, I launched my own consulting business for tech startups before joining Lullabot. Today, I continue to serve as VP of Marketing, contributing to Lullabot’s success in web strategy, design, and Drupal development for clients such as IBM, NBC Universal, NYU, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and the state of Massachusetts.

THE ROLE OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS IN STEAM
A company’s marketing team plays a crucial role in promoting STEAM by effectively communicating the value and impact of its innovations.
We translate complex technical details into compelling stories and engaging content, making STEAM concepts accessible to a broader audience.
By organizing events, webinars, and interactive campaigns, we help bridge the gap between the company’s technical experts and the public. Additionally, we collaborate closely with technical teams to ensure accurate and impactful messaging, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning. Through these efforts, we enhance the company’s reputation, drive interest in its STEAM initiatives, and attract top talent to the organization.
While there are many STEAM-promoting strategies a marketing team can implement, here are a few that I include in our overall marketing strategy that I think are some of the most impactful.
Create Engaging Content
Marketers in STEAM fields are tasked with translating technical concepts into relatable and interesting content for varied audiences. Whether it’s content produced for technical practitioners, non-technical stakeholders, or potential new employees, marketers must leverage various mediums and content formats to connect the right messaging to the right audience.
Highlight Innovation and People
It’s important to tell real-world stories of innovation and highlight the people involved. How did crossfunctional teams collaborate to deliver innovation? What contributions has a UX designer on your team made to a particular community? Case studies and people stories not only attract new business but also new talent.
Community Engagement
Marketing should never solely focus on lead-generating events and programs, but should support the STEAM community to grow the talent pool and keep innovation alive. Sponsoring events and programs that support STEAM education in a diverse and inclusive space is critical to growth.
Turn Your Technical Team into Marketers
Technical teams often work in silos, but that should change. As subject matter experts, their insights are more valuable than those from sales and marketing. Send
them to tradeshow booths and engage them in webinars and speaking opportunities. Encourage and mentor them through these activities, as they often fall outside their comfort zones. Nurturing your technical teams boosts their growth and significantly enhances your company’s credibility and marketing effectiveness.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Some of the challenges in marketing STEAM are communicating complex technical concepts that can be difficult for non-experts to understand. Breaking these down into more digestible parts makes them easier to grasp. STEAM is also rapidly advancing, making it challenging to stay on top of the latest advancements. Attending conferences, communicating with peers at similar companies, and finding one or two solid STEAM news sources helps stay up on the latest trends and innovations. Another challenge is overcoming stereotypes in STEAM. These fields often suffer from stereotypes that can deter certain groups, such as women and minorities, from engaging. Highlighting diversity and promoting an inclusive and welcoming environment through content and marketing campaigns is a strategy that can make a big impact.
STEAM marketing is an exciting field as it is constantly evolving, breaking down silos, and fostering collaboration between technical and creative minds. Honing soft skills as part of STEAM education is crucial. Today, marketers own the content and digital experiences, making effective communication between marketing and technical teams essential for successful projects.

A CHANCE TO THRIVE
by Michael “Gonzo” Gonzalez, THRIVE Program Director
In the heart of the All Saints’ community lies a commitment to nurture and empower future generations. This sentiment is exemplified in the inspiring efforts of THRIVE, an All Saints’ community outreach summer program aimed at supporting underserved middle school students from Rivertree Academy and Rocketship Elementary School. The main goal of THRIVE is to not only to bridge educational gaps but to cultivate a sense of aspiration among these young minds in local underserved communities.
THRIVE students at Ginger Walker’s art studio
This is where THRIVE stepped in, offering a lifeline of educational support during a very critical time in their lives. THRIVE offered the inaugural group of 11 students core classes in English and math, but also engaged them in the arts, sports and STEAM activities. The diverse curriculum, created by All Saints’ faculty members Ann-Marie McCollough and Jamie Powers, not only kept the students engaged but also exposed them to new interests and career opportunities. Over the course of five weeks, the students went on field trips to Ginger Walker’s art studio, Cook Children’s Hospital and the TCU campus. Moreover, the presence of dedicated two alumni and five Tad Bird Honors College student mentors provided crucial support: Stella Boone (fs), Bella Vrana ’18, Aiden Gutierrez ’25, Liam Finley ’26, Lola McCollough ’26, Sally Ann Mooring ’25, and Isa Rodriguez ’25. Service learning is a cornerstone of our Episcopal School values. These mentors connected to the students in motivating and transformative ways.
THRIVE EMBODIED THE COLLECTIVE BELIEF THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHANCE TO SUCCEED, AND A CHANCE TO THRIVE, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND OR CIRCUMSTANCE.
Rocketship’s Superintendent, SaJade Miller, quoted Margaret Mead at the end-of-summer celebration, reminding those gathered to, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

TWO-TIME WRESTLING CHAMP

Kody committed to wrestle at North Dakota State University starting this fall, making him the first-ever wrestler in All Saints’ history to sign to wrestle at the Division I level.
3,2,1…BLAST OFF
Our Seventh Grade and Upper School Rocket Teams both qualified for the American Rocketry Challenge National Finals in the spring. To secure a spot in the Top 100, these two teams successfully designed, built, and launched model rockets that could safely carry a payload of one raw egg with a target flight duration of 43-46 seconds and an altitude of 820 feet. This alone is an impressive feat, but even more amazing is that this is the fourth time All Saints’ has been invited to nationals, in a top 100 spot out of 922 teams across the country.
