Outcome Statement

A graduate of All Saints’ Episcopal School will exercise genius within through developing a relationship with God, by engaging the world, and by serving others.

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.

Transformation

On any given day, were any person to walk into All Saints’ Chapel and join us during one of our daily services, they would hear a Collect or two. Prayers would be shared, some singing, for sure, a homily or student offering. On Eucharist days, there would be the liturgy of the Word and Sacraments. The word liturgy may be translated into “the work of the people,” meaning, there is collective work, encouraging us in our daily exercises of spiritual discernment. But make no mistake, in each of these gatherings, God is at the center, and we are a community in active presence of Him.

These efforts complement what we do when we emerge from Chapel, parallel efforts to elevate intellectual empathy and curiosity. Both spirit and mind work together, setting the table for our premier college and life preparatory programs. Our both/and proposition is unique and transformational for our students, faculty, and all in our community.

One of our more frequent Collects is shared when celebrating birthdays:

Watch over thy child, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of their lives. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen (BCP, 830).

Read this carefully, reverently, and more than once, and you will realize the potential and real transformation which takes place each day on our hill. Take a walk through our halls, into the classrooms, on the stage, the playing fields, through the Union and you will see steady, elevated transformation in the works.

Our cover story sets the table for what we witness unfolding each day at All Saints’ Episcopal School. Our 12 intrepid Pioneer Saints were the first to step foot into our Early Childhood program in the fall of 2010. I could not be prouder of them and their families for sharing their genius with us for so many years!

Keep in mind what was happening in the world at that time, and the impact is exponentially transformational. We created this program on the heels of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. These young servants, scholars, artists and athletes (and their families) had faith in us to create something special; their steadfast commitment has made the remarkable Early Childhood program the go-to place for early childhood education in this region. It is world class in every respect of the phrase.

From celebrating the Honors College’s 10th Anniversary to Aaron Clark’s college essay outlining his aspirations in engineering, the impact of Celia Nowlin’s journey into music therapy, welcoming a profound historical figure to campus, to expanded alumni profiles and family additions, Innovate shares a glimpse of the transformation that is All Saints’ Episcopal School. Enjoy. Blessings,

Tad Bird Head of School

INSPIRED BUILD TO

Stations of the Cross intarsia by Avery Meyer '23

Excerpt from College Application Essay

By Aaron Clark ’24 Electrical Engineering & Physics, Texas A&M University

As a toddler, I vividly remember sitting in my father’s pickup truck as he frustratingly tossed two circuit boards on his center console. After he drove us from our barn to our house, he started soldering and wiring for hours while trying to show me what he was doing. Although I didn’t fully understand, I was mesmerized and I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up – as much as any three-year-old could. I wanted to build.

If it weren’t for my dad, I wouldn’t have been exposed to many interesting, albeit rather unorthodox, engineering adventures. Although not an engineer, or even a college degree-holder at all, he has given me priceless lessons when it comes to the application and results of engineering concepts. Being an electrician, he was able to inspire and show me how circuit boards, iPhones and soldering worked.

However, he isn’t solely limited to the electrical side of engineering; he also has incredible mechanical knowledge, being able to tear open a tractor engine or fix a random spring in a firearm. Furthermore, he helped inspire my love for computer design, as he would open his phone to the individual chips and fix it, showing me how computer chips work and how they interact with others.

Thanks to my father’s hands-on approach with electronics and circuit boards, my interest was sparked and I further explored engineering inside the classroom by taking higher-level courses foundational to engineering such as physics, chemistry, calculus and computer science. My opinion of these courses transformed from initially being intimidated by STEM classes to trigonometry and JavaScript becoming the highlight of my day. This occurred despite initial struggles which made me become even more passionate about these respective fields. My curiosity also extended to outside the classroom, gutting my desktop computer and replacing and repairing chips and wiring guitar amp parts to learn about circuit boards. Not even my downtime was excluded, as I constantly built automated electrical redstone machines in Minecraft such as real time clocks, sorting machines and more.

College is the perfect place for me to grow even more, and I want to build, invent and especially learn about electrical engineering in depth and at the highest levels. Hearing about electrical circuit theory, machine learning, and other engineering principles never fails to get me excited about engineering. Despite the difficulty of the process to get there and the profession itself, I never lose any enthusiasm to pursue both.

In the future, I see myself working in the vast field of electrical engineering with brilliant minds inventing, repairing and engineering electronic solutions. These solutions will help people in their daily lives and help us progress further as a species through this complex, opportunityrich new era of automation. I excitedly envision myself being completely immersed in applying engineering concepts in classrooms, labs, and lecture halls in an academic setting. Using this education, I hope to do what younger me dreamed of: I want to build.

Q&A

We sat down to interview this group of kids and asked them about their fourteen years as Saints.

Here are some of our favorite responses.

WHAT’S YOUR EARLIEST ALL SAINTS’ MEMORY?

Ashton: Grace would tie my shoes for me! And the book fair.

Grace: The posters of cats your mom wouldn’t let you hang up in your room.

Hunter: Playing with toy dinosaurs in the Chapel classroom.

Anne: I remember my mom being really sad when she dropped me off on the first day.

Xavier: I got in trouble for sneaking out to recess early.

Edith: I wore the same thing every day: cowboy boots, green leggings and a pink dress. Now the EC kids have cute uniforms.

Mary Kate: Mrs. Yater pulled several of my teeth. Kids would line up to have her pull their teeth.

Kilmer: I got my arm stuck in a chair and had to carry the chair to the nurse’s office.

WE CALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE STAYED AT ALL SAINTS’ SINCE KINDERGARTEN

“LIFETIME SAINTS.” WHAT SHOULD WE CALL YOUR GROUP?

Anne: Pre-K Saints

Hunter: Lifetime Saints But Better

Grace: Lifetime Saints VIP or Premium Lifetime Saints

Bennie: Original Lifetime Saints

ARE YOU SICK OF EACH OTHER YET?

Grace: No! Everyone is still my best friend. I don’t know if I can make new friends (laughing).

Ashton: No. I’m ready for a new city but I’ll miss my friends. I’ve never been the new kid before!

Kelly: I’ll miss the people, my friends.

Ryland: Not really but I guess it depends on the day and on the person.

Anne: I’m going to miss everyone in our grade. I can have a decent conversation with any of you.

Mary Kate: Most of us are still really good friends and I think that’s pretty special.

Edith: No, we’ve grown up together!

STRATEGIC GROWTH

By Dr. Debra Koppelberger, Lower School Division Head

Intentional admission and retention approaches are hallmarks of a thriving independent school. Class size and placement decisions are part of our strategic plan beginning with the administration, guided by faculty input, providing guidance to the Board of Trustees as they look to set the vision for schoolwide student enrollment. The Board approved Saints Elevate, our strategic plan, which included optimal enrollment numbers based on Fort Worth market research, competitive analysis, and a continuously high retention rate from Early Childhood to Kindergarten. More importantly, enrollment goals focus on maximizing mission delivery.

Much like teaching, the admission process is informed by data. Our team uses longitudinal data to track retention and attrition statistics to predict potential student openings. A byproduct of an unparalleled Early Childhood program, our Lower School experienced healthy enrollment growth over the past several years. Heightened interest in our program draws inquiries and applications from an array of prospective families. Increased retention rates from Early Childhood and interest from external families contribute to the exceptional candidate pool.

AS CLASSROOMS REACH HEALTHY ENROLLMENT, WE HAVE INCREASED INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT BY DESIGN.

The Early Childhood classrooms have a teacher and an aide in the Threes and PreK classrooms. Bridge Kindergarten classrooms have one teacher with a smaller class enrollment. Kindergarten through Second Grade each have an assistant teacher who works with all homeroom teachers across the entire grade. For example, our First Grade Assistant Teacher has scheduled time to work with each of the four First Grade classrooms throughout a week. Our assistant teachers are highly qualified and experienced educators. They hold teaching certifications with multiple specializations, and one is a clinical speech language pathologist. Each assistant teacher provides tailored instruction for small groups of students based on their learning mastery. Working as a grade level team with an assistant teacher supports teacher autonomy as teachers know our students and what they need both individually and as a class.

Third Grade consists of four homeroom teachers and does not utilize a teaching assistant for good reason; as students mature and become more independent, an assistant teacher is not needed. Third Grade classroom teachers group students in a variety of ways to maximize diversity of thought, discussion and application. Small groups are fluid and change regularly. Importantly, Grade Level Chairs are teacher leadership positions created to add an additional layer of internal support.

Full enrollment across grade levels enables our team to add programmatic and instructional elements. Moreover, it supports the creation of new and additional opportunities for students.

Here are some examples of healthy enrollment supporting programmatic stability and elevation.

• Middle and Upper School Fine Arts: The growth and strength of filling out a robust band ensemble or musical theatre cast depends on healthy enrollment.

• Middle and Upper School Lacrosse: Enrollment numbers have to support the viability of another spring sport option for boys.

• Upper School STEAM: A capstone element of our expanding STEAM program requires pre-requisite courses and enough student interest to fill out the full four-year program. Healthy enrollment also drives more robust offerings.

All of these examples have corresponding building block programs at the younger levels through co-curriculars like music and the Exploratorium, to after school Lacrosse for students in grades K-5, that foster earlier interest and exploration.

Specific to Lower School, we have intentionally built out extra support systems for students and classroom teachers. The Exploratorium is a great example of this as it's not just another co-curricular class. Mrs. McCollough co-designs and co-teaches project-based lessons with classroom teachers, enriching and extending the core subject area learning. Two other examples are the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and Growth Opportunity (GO) Time.

The ARC was created to support and extend student learning made possible by increased enrollment. The ARC team includes Assistant Lower School Division Head and Director of the Lower School ARC Erin Richter, Instructional Specialist Jamie Powers, and Certified Academic Language Therapist Sarah Wright.

Lower School has a designated time for intervention and enrichment called GO Time, a 20–30-minute daily block

1 teacher per classroom

GO TIME + ARC

strategically built into each grade level’s schedule. Grade-level and assistant teachers work together as a team to provide small group instruction for students needing more time to grasp a concept or extend learning for those ready to move on. Students may work with their classroom teacher, another teacher in that grade level, the assistant teacher, or a member of the ARC team. GO Time groups are fluidly examined and regrouped regularly based on data to meet the growth needs of learners. All faculty use current instructional data to create groups to effectively meet individual students’ needs. Our goal for GO Time is for all students to achieve high levels of learning. Adding instructional support enhances student learning and promotes professional growth for faculty.

WHY THE ADMISSION TOURS?

When a grade level reaches optimum enrollment, it is considered complete, yet interest in our School community continues to grow. Our admission team welcomes numerous interested families daily. The admission process for Lower School includes a student visit day, admission testing, an application and recommendations. Important to note, though perhaps confusing to current families, the admission team invites families to tour and visit even if the grade level enrollment is at capacity. The Lower School three-year average attrition rate is extremely low at 4%. We utilize a wait pool in the event there are future openings. The number of visitors does not indicate an intent to add students beyond optimum enrollment. It is important, however, to welcome visitors to learn more about the strength of our offerings and our community.

Relationships are the foundation of our School community and we are grateful for the partnership we have with our families. We remain committed to knowing each student and family personally. Relationships and class size are closely connected. Maintaining the correct class size allows us to build and strengthen personal relationships while providing the best instructional and programmatic offerings for students. It is a phenomenal time to be a Lower School Saint.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, HONORS COLLEGE: A CONVERSATION WITH ITS NAMESAKE

By Leslie W. Cox Upper School Dean of Students and Associate Director of the Tad Bird Honors College

In the early 2010s, Dr. Tad Bird had a spark to create a program in the Upper School that was uniquely different and that would push students to be the most intellectually and spiritually empathic kids in our community. Nearly a decade later, the Tad Bird Honors College is a renowned program with myriad accolades that continues to evolve and adapt. Its latest iteration focuses on inquiry-based, community-focused projects and seminarstyle discussions, and most impressively, includes more than 25% of the Class of 2027.

IN A SUNNY OFFICE LOOKING OUT ON UPPERCLASSMEN MAKING THEIR WAY TO CHAPEL IN EARLY DECEMBER, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE TAD BIRD HONORS COLLEGE AND UPPER SCHOOL DEAN OF STUDENTS LESLIE COX SAT DOWN WITH HEAD OF SCHOOL TAD BIRD FOR A CANDID CONVERSATION ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY FIRST DECADE OF THE HONORS COLLEGE – AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FOR THE FUTURE.

LC: The Honors College is a unique offering that not very many schools, independent, private, or public, have. Take us back to the planning phase: How did it evolve from the seed of your idea to a thriving program at All Saints’?

TB: It’s exciting because this germinated from a question about how we can do differently for kids who want to think differently and do more with their learning. I wanted to create something that would challenge the most curious thinkers in our school community. It was partly born out of visiting colleges and engaging in conversations with higher education leaders. I wanted to listen and fully understand the landscape that we were launching our graduates into. Thankfully, my Board leadership was fully supportive of the idea and allowed me time away to visit college campuses. We chose a variety of strong liberal arts schools and prominent national schools to get their read on what would be essential for the program we were building. We studied and visited with administrators from Stanford’s D School to Chicago Laboratory School, picked the brain of the President of Boston College, Father William P. (Patrick) Leahy, and met with former UT President, Dr. William (Bill) Powers.

LC: The program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year; why is that special to you?

TB: I may have hatched the Honors College concept, but make no mistake: it has been and continues to be the exceptional work, research, creativity, courageous and fiercely entrepreneurial explorations and exercises of the students, faculty, and program leaders that make the program soar. I may have turned the light switch on, but y’all have sustained and elevated the energy and impact!

LC: That’s high praise, but I think you’re absolutely right. I have been involved with the Honors College as a teaching faculty member since its second full year. Without your support and belief in the evolution of the program, it wouldn’t be where it is today.

TB: You were an early adopter of the program and weathered some of the leadership changes early on, and now you serve in a leadership role yourself, helping to oversee a faculty team of more than 12 members. From an initial team of one or two, we’ve built a program that supports a wide variety of students who are taking these concepts and running with them. Because it has taken strong root into our educational landscape, the early induction trips to Mt. Katahdin are a good example: Undertaking an arduous journey into the unknown, overcoming obstacles, persevering, and reinforcing that hard work and joy are not mutually exclusive.

TBHC Associate Director Leslie Cox and Director Will Matsuzaki meeting with Honors College students in the Honors College Grove

LC: We talk about process and design iteration quite a bit within the program. Over the last decade, the size and curriculum have evolved significantly; what excites you most about the current state of the Honors College?

TB: I’m very excited by the variety of students the program is attracting and how well-known the program has become, not just here, but at other schools (including colleges), too. I think what excites me most is that we have developed a narrative within our community, and that narrative also has a profound impact in helping students connect the research and work they’ve done during their tenure at All Saints’ to schools and programs outside of here. We’ve found a sweet spot that lends itself to more dynamic and creative thinking, yet doesn’t discard the important foundations of traditional learning. I realize many associate the Honors College with design thinking, independence, creativity, and meta-cognition theories and exercises, and rightfully so, but what many may not realize, and it is important to note, is the intellectual roots of the Honors College draw their nutrition from the wellspring of the All Saints’ Episcopal School Curriculum Foundational tenets, as evidenced by intentional Socratic practices. And now we’re able to complement those pieces with more hands-on, projectbased learning through our STEAM track. The concept of failing leaning forward may seem counterintuitive, but it has helped shape the "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" narrative of this program.

LC: Adding a STEAM-based interdisciplinary class to the course sequence this year is really inspiring to our faculty team, and also to a new demographic of learners.

We work hard to ground our students’ learning by making real-world connections, too.

TB: Real-world connections, indeed, as this pushes students to take ownership of their educational journey. When the learning extends beyond the classroom and beyond the grade, the reality is, the kids have to take ownership. To see these connections happening earlier and in even more meaningful ways through design challenges, community partnerships, and their final Capstone projects, has been remarkable. And this wasn’t something we had initially planned; it’s developed significantly over the last decade. During COVID, it became clear that we were developing a program that leans into uncertainty in a way that gives our students confidence and resilience; but that’s not something we knew when we started this program. You [Leslie], Dr. Matsuzaki, and team have done a superlative job of taking the TBHC to the next level. I’m quietly most proud of the fact that we intuitively moved into a space that is giving an outlet for our kids to explore in a way that allows for healthy, adaptive leadership and ethical thinking in an increasingly complicated world.

LC: I totally agree. In earlier iterations of the Honors College, we didn’t start to see that student agency until right before they were about to leave us. Now, our students are learning through activities that are meaningful and relevant to them and driven by their own interests much earlier in the program.

TB: Their work is fueled by passion and compassion. The Honors College has provided an outlet for students to not just identify issues in their community, but to

also equip them to act upon those observations, being creative problem solvers. These students are movers and shakers as a result of this program. They’re coached up to figure out solutions that are productive and have lasting impact, and the course sequence within the program fosters this early and often.

LC: Applications for the next Honors College cohort are due January 12. What’s a common misconception families might have about the program?

TB: Too exclusive, can’t do it, it’s not that big of a deal. While we’ve certainly seen huge strides in both our All Saints’ community’s understanding of the program, and have data that speaks to its reputation beyond the Upper School, it can still be challenging for someone who uses traditional metrics to see its full value. To those that think that this program doesn’t have much merit or weight in respect to college applications or even life, I would debunk that 100%. I know my name’s on the program and that might make me slightly biased, but I believe any student going through the Honors College is better positioned for college and life. The exercises and practices of the program foster agency, and in my book, that holds far more value and merit than standardized tests.

LC: Last one, I promise. You’ve spoken of how this program is ever-evolving; I’m not sure what number iteration you would say we are on in our current version of the Honors College program, but what’s next? In what spaces do you see us moving into in our next decade of existence?

TB: First and foremost, my greatest desire is that the program keep its organic sense of evolution. It’s the journey and ongoing conversations that help the Honors College continue to be fueled by passion and compassion. My hope is that the program grows to have even more real-world impact. Fort Worth is the fastest growing area in the country. Can we partner with our city leaders on projects, address and pre-assess conundrums and challenges - whether it’s homelessness, traffic, or myriad issues related to growth? Ten years from now, I want students of the program involved in sectors throughout the city. I hope the program continues evolving in more sophisticated AND more practical ways, serving our community and the greater world not just as thinkers but as creative problem solvers.

LC: Thank you, Dr. Bird, for providing the seed that has germinated into such an amazing program at All Saints’, for lending your name to the program, and for allowing your initial idea to grow and evolve in the last ten years.

TB: Before we wrap, I want to thank you, Leslie and team. You’ve done a great job. I’m just the dreamer who may have had an idea and a lot of energy, but it’s the work of the faculty and students that truly make the Honors College experience. I am incredibly humbled!

LC: Well, gratitude is a great note to end on. I know that your leadership has shepherded this program over the last decade. It has been an incredible honor to work within this amazing program and a privilege as an educator to partner with such amazing faculty and students. I’m just as excited and inspired as you for what comes next.

HEART OF MUSIC THE

By Celia Nowlin ’19 Pediatric Music Therapy Intern at Children’s Minnesota Hospital

GROWING UP AT THE PIANO

I was always a very musical child. My parents have videos of me singing my favorite songs from memory as young as two years old. After teaching myself to play by ear on my dad’s old electric keyboard, I took piano lessons from first grade through high school graduation and participated in several recitals, competitions, and festivals every year. Over time, these performances brought with them more anxiety, pressure, and expectation. The messages we often send to kids who want to be professional musicians are, “It’s a long shot,” “You’ll never make any money,” “You’ll spend your life practicing,” and, “If you don’t perform, you will teach.” So, I thought that I would minor in piano and focus on becoming a counseling psychologist, or maybe a lawyer. I thought that was the only way I could keep music in my college education and career. I’m so grateful that this was not the case.

MUSIC AT ALL SAINTS’

In my time at All Saints’, I had many opportunities to expand my musical horizons beyond classical piano. I discovered a love of singing and musical theater in Middle School, and I went on to participate in all of the Upper School musicals. During this time, I was also teaching myself guitar and ukulele, which I had the opportunity to expand on in Jazz/Rock Ensemble. I had the chance to explore my vocal abilities even more in choir through solo and ensemble competitions, and I knew that I wanted to continue singing.

Children's Minnesota Hospital where Celia is interning

MY TIME AT ALL SAINTS’ WAS FILLED WITH SO MANY MUSICAL AND ACADEMIC ENDEAVORS THAT I TRULY BELIEVE LED ME TO FIND MY CALLING IN MUSIC THERAPY, WHICH REQUIRES CLINICIANS TO BE PROFICIENT IN VOICE, GUITAR, UKULELE, PIANO, AND BASIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS.

TAD BIRD HONORS COLLEGE

I owe the Tad Bird Honors College a great deal of gratitude for allowing me the chance to explore my unique passions. My Junior Honors Thesis research began with an exploration of music and anxiety. I wanted to know how music exposure in childhood could prevent the development of anxiety disorders in adulthood. Through this research and a series of interviews with child psychologists, I learned about the field of music therapy. I remember the moment that I first discovered the American Music Therapy Association website. It finally felt like everything made sense.

I spent my senior year shadowing and designing my Capstone project with the music therapists at Cook Children’s Hospital and auditioning for music therapy undergraduate programs. I was so eager to step into my next phase at Texas Woman’s University, where I had been offered a full-ride scholarship to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance. In my college education, I met so many people who wished they had known what music therapy was before pursuing undergraduate studies in different fields. I am grateful every day that I had the opportunity to discover a career that is so uniquely tailored to my goals and interests through my work in the Honors College.

MAJORING IN MUSIC THERAPY

Music therapy is officially defined by the American Music Therapy Association as “the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.”

Graduating from Texas Women's University in May 2023

Music therapists are present anywhere there is a clinical goal – special education programs, neurologic rehabilitation settings, memory care, hospice, and pediatric medical settings, to name a few.

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT LIVE MUSIC, ESPECIALLY CLIENT-PREFERRED MUSIC, ACTIVATES EVERY PART OF THE BRAIN FROM THOSE THAT CONTROL OUR MOST PRIMITIVE FUNCTIONS TO THOSE THAT HOUSE OUR EMOTIONAL MEMORIES AND REPRESSED EXPERIENCES.

This is why our scope in music therapy is so broad. We have to know the most current, evidence-based approaches and facilitate interventions on an individual basis in any clinical population. It might look like singing to increase breath support, playing drums to increase gross motor movement and bilateral coordination, writing a song to promote emotional expression or leave a legacy after death, using songs to teach complex academic information, and so much more.

LEARNING THE ROPES IN PEDIATRIC MUSIC THERAPY

After completing my coursework at TWU in May, and a fun summer of teaching music at All Saints’ SummerYou, I moved to the Twin Cities area in September to start my clinical internship at Children’s Minnesota Hospital. I chose pediatrics for the wide range of populations and the challenging, fast-paced clinical environment it provides. I have worked with patients in the NICU, PICU, CVICU, Medical/Surgical, Neuroscience, Hematology/Oncology, behavioral health, and eating disorder units.

My role as an intern has been to observe, cofacilitate, and lead music therapy sessions both individually and in group settings. Our goals primarily include supporting developmental milestones, pain management, anxiety, comfort, vital sign stabilization, procedural support, emotional expression, legacy projects, co-treatment with rehabilitation therapists, reality orientation, coping skills, and family support.

As I enter the second half of my internship, I have my own clinical caseload in the hospital including patients in several care units and group settings. I am currently working on my final intern project, which explores the use of making music with one’s own heartbeat to promote regulation, grounding, positive sense of identity, and emotional processing with behavioral and mental health patients.

In the last three months, I have watched as live music increased the oxygen saturation of a premature infant by 20 percent within 15 minutes. I have watched a toddler laugh and play shakers and guitar through an entire wound dressing change. I have watched teenagers with eating disorders identify and create an emotional continuum from ‘hopelessness’ to ‘contentment’ using emotion words and associated songs from their personal playlists. I have used music to promote sleep for countless sick infants and children, and even exhausted parents. I have watched as an 11-year-old in excruciating post-operative pain sat up to quietly sing her favorite One Direction songs with me, smiling her way through it and strumming a ukulele.

I STILL CANNOT FULLY DESCRIBE WHAT IT’S LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THE POWERFUL ENGAGEMENT AND COMFORT THAT MUSIC STIMULUS PROVIDES.

It gives me such purpose to know that all those years of developing my musical skills have led to this chance I have to connect with children and families in the hospital, using my clinical training to help them meet their goals.

WHAT’S NEXT

After completing my music therapy internship in March, I will take my board exam and become a Board-Certified Music Therapist. My hope is that I will continue in the field of pediatrics and pursue additional certifications in NICU music therapy and neurologic music therapy. I plan to complete graduate studies in either music therapy or child life in hopes of potentially earning a Child Life Specialist certification to expand my scope of practice in the pediatric setting.

I AM GRATEFUL EVERY DAY FOR THE WAY THAT ALL SAINTS’ EQUIPPED ME TO PURSUE MY PASSION IN THIS UNIQUE AND CHALLENGING FIELD – I TRULY FEEL THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED MY LIFE’S PURPOSE IN THIS WORK.

LITTLE ANGELS

The Kindergarten classes raised $5,078 this year, which they used to shop for 78 angels through The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. The project started in 2005 as a servicelearning initiative and evolved into an interdisciplinary, semester-long project where Kindergarten students sell “Angel Pops” popsicles every Friday afternoon. Students connect this project to classroom objectives by creating charts to track their progress, reading their Angel’s wish list, learning about coins and dollars, researching average prices for each item on the wish list to determine a budget, prioritizing and creating a shopping list based on a projected budget, and then spending a morning shopping at Target for their Angels.
