As one of the four pillars of our strategic plan Inspiring Girls, Cultivating Leaders, “leadership” is a perfect focus as we enter the second year of implementation of the plan. Seeking to engage the Columbus community as partners in the cultivation of leadership in girls and young women, CSG faculty and administration will spend this year refining our definition of leadership and seeking ways to work with other community organizations who cultivate, identify, and support the leaders of tomorrow.

“Connection,” too, makes perfect sense as a theme this school year. While our country seems to be more divided and contentious than at any time in recent memory, at CSG we aim always to help our students grapple with the complexities of the world in ways that connect us to one another. This isn’t always easy, nor is it always comfortable. If CSG girls are going to influence their worlds, they will have to be skilled at finding common ground, standing up for what is important to them—even when faced with those who disagree with them— and finding a way forward. By practicing civil discourse and developing the skills required to build and defend arguments in ways that respect those with whom they disagree, CSG students are learning to maintain connection even when they disagree with one another. What better way to prepare students to lead in the world?

As we help current CSG students build a foundation necessary

Librarians Dr. Linda Swarlis and Ms. Annie Ruefle traveled to Kazakhstan to share their wealth of knowledge on topics ranging from literacy to spatial reasoning with librarians from across that country. Dr. Kevin Sweeney, Upper School science teacher, connected his engineering students with PYC girls who worked together to solve a problem that the PYC students identified. Using design thinking and a collaborative approach, the students built a water feature in the natural playscape so that PYC students could transport water across their play area efficiently. Over the past decade, Dr. Michelle Page Golla ’00 has provided medical care to children and expectant mothers in Haiti and Ethiopia and learned a lot about how her CSG education is connected to her position as an advocate for healthy children and families.

Alumnae Share Perspective at Middle School Career Day CSG alumnae returned to school in April for Middle School Career Day. Forms VI-VIII participated in the traditional round-robin sessions featuring local women and alumnae who shared their various careers and perspectives. The panel included 15 women from throughout central Ohio in careers ranging from an architect, a biochemist, and an Information Technology professional to a zookeeper, video game designers, and a fashion entrepreneur. Alumnae presenters included Maggie Wilson ’10, Katya Philmore ’07, Joanne Strasser Edwards ’96, and Claire Murnane Adams ’01.

In the afternoon the students shifted gears from participants to inventors, using a Design Thinking format to work through several real-life design challenges. Each challenge was created to mirror one of the careers they had experienced earlier in the day. Once they selected their challenge they worked through the Design Thinking steps: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test, to design spirit wear, come up with an approach to address social justice and equity, and other challenges. At the end of the day, each group prepared and delivered a presentation on their Design Thinking challenge and solution.

Leaders Launch Celebrates Grads

In celebration of National Poetry Month, CSG hosted poet Nancy Kangas in April. Ms. Kangas helped students explore the power of their own words and walked the girls through Formspecific workshops on the art of writing poetry.

An Ohio Arts Council artist-in-residence, Ms. Kangas also spoke about her upcoming series of animated short films featuring poems written by children. She shared how poetry can allow preschool students an opportunity to share their voice and feel heard. It was wonderful to see our students step into the role of poet and explore the power poems can wield.

In June, 19 CSG students and six chaperones traveled to San Pablo, Guatemala for a service trip. The team built a house for a family of eight and contributed to the construction of a medical clinic. Along with three volunteer doctors from Guatemala, the girls also participated in a three-day medical clinic. Students used their Spanish skills to fill prescriptions in the pharmacy, helped interview patients for intake, and administered oral meds under the doctors’ supervision. Before returning home, the group visited the former capital and Spanish colonial city, Antigua. The connections made with the Guatemalan families who will benefit from the house and medical clinic left a strong impression on each CSG student and the doctors and families who were so thankful and impressed by the students.

Jocelyn Goldfein Encourages CSG Students to Learn to Code

CSG Middle School Theater Partners with CATCO for Spring Musical

It’s not every day that a leading woman in tech, a former Facebook executive, makes time for an intimate conversation with 12-18-year-olds. But, it’s exactly what happened in September when Former Director of Engineering for Facebook Jocelyn Goldfein stopped by for a visit.

CSG Middle School students shared the stage with professional actors from CATCO in the spring production of Anne of Green Gables. The production, based on L.M. Montgomery’s timeless classic, which is cherished by generations, came to life in a new musical. In a strong review, the Columbus Dispatch highlighted Casey Sussman ’22 who played Anne, Sofia Feinberg ’21 as Diana Barry, and Olivia Westley-Sherman ’21 as Rachel Lynde for bringing a performance that “Earnestly hits high points of beloved tale” (Columbus Dispatch, May 6). That positive review and others were well deserved as the cast delivered several shows over two weekends in May in the Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater. Middle School Theater and Drama teacher Elizabeth Bishara ’00 co-directed the musical with her husband and CATCO’s Joe Bishara.

Ms. Goldfein was in Columbus for a convention when she gathered with Middle and Upper School Students to chat about her tech career and why all girls can benefit from learning to code.

“Whether or not you want to become an engineer, or write software, or write code for a living, it’s about breaking down problems,” she said. “They call it computational thinking. That will help you no matter what you decide to do. If you decide to be a journalist, a politician, if you want to be anything, I think you’ll be better at it if you have computational thinking.”

She also encouraged students to have a growth mindset over a fixed mindset; to find a problem and solve it; and to try everything in order to find the one thing that they want to focus on most.

Beyond that she told students to make lifelong learning their job. In 2014, the software engineer left Facebook to enter the world of venture capitalism. As an angel investor, Ms. Goldfein supports technology startups in exchange for a slice of ownership.

Jocelyn Goldfein shares one-on–one time with Middle School students and Head of School Jennifer Ciccarelli in Beaton Library.

Dresden Exchange Program Continues Two students from Dresden, Germany, spent four weeks at CSG as part of the German exchange program. The program is made possible through a special gift by Dresden Sister City Inc. and a grant from the Frank Wobst Fund of the Columbus Foundation..

Whenever a CSG graduate shows up in the physics classroom, they are always asked to list areas of strengths and weaknesses of their CSG education. While the alumnae always list many strengths that they took with them from CSG to college, in the past there were some common themes regarding the areas where they wished to have had more experiences. For instance, girls who studied engineering wished they had gained more experience in the areas of computer programming, industrial drawing, computer aided design/modeling, and prototyping while in high school.

by Dr. Michelle Page Golla ’00 From the age of five, I knew that I wanted to be a pediatrician.

CSG’s Strategic Plan Update This fall marks the second year of the implementation of CSG’s 5-year strategic plan “Inspiring Girls, Cultivating Leaders.”

With a year of planning behind us, faculty, staff, and administrative team members are busy solidifying CSG’s position as the premier school for educating central Ohio’s brightest girls. Weekly meetings are spurring new ideas and pushing faculty and staff to think big and bold when it comes to CSG’s curriculum and other programs that will move the school forward.

One idea went from thought to being just in time for the new school year. Considering the needs of the 21st-century learner, CSG’s Lower School curriculum shifted from a singularly focused technology class replaced with The Innovation Lab. The

Education through medicine is a powerful tool as these skills can translate to the overall health of global communities. I participate in international medical mission trips yearly, serving women and their children. On these trips, I do actual procedures, provide diagnoses, and administer medications, but the majority of my work surrounds empowering women through the health of their children. When women are cared for, connected and educated,

Innovation Lab provides Lower School students with a multi-dimensional project-based learning approach that infuses computer science, engineering, design thinking, technology, and the maker movement. This space will allow students to exercise creativity, curiosity, communication skills, initiation, and collaboration through their authentic experiences.

The curriculum is guided by, but not limited to the International Standards of Technology Education and Common Sense Media’s Digital Literacy curriculum. In true innovative fashion, under the direction of science teachers Karen Scranton and Jessica Fries-Gaither, things are always evolving in The Innovation Lab. We encourage you to check out the hands-on learning or learn more about the projects the next time you are on campus.

families thrive.

That professional realization has helped me in my most significant transition of becoming a wife and mother. My husband, Desalen Golla, and I married in 2005 and have two incredible sons, Elias and Quddus. Being a mother in medicine I have learned that in order to care for others’ families and grow these intimate relationships with my patients, I must ensure that my own family is nurtured, thriving and happy. My patients’ mothers have taught me that to be a woman is to be inherently powerful, and to nurture and help mold our families is integral to healthy communities.

Triumph in transition is how I refer to navigating the parallel worlds of modern medicine and family. As a CSG graduate and pediatrician, I have chosen to be a lifelong learner. Having transitioned from student to attending physician and mother, my patients and my sons are now my teachers—they challenge me to be a better me, every day. I am consistently in transition and helping other women to go through theirs. As Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai said, “We cannot succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave, to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.”

Form V in the New CSG Innovation Lab ​Form V students are currently working to identify a solution to a real-life problem for 4-year-old Sam. Sam is in preschool, loves riding swings and trikes, playing in the pool, and laughing with his little sister, but he also deals with developmental delays, because the white matter in his brain did not develop fully before he was born. The condition impacts Sam’s ability to walk and communicate as his brain can’t always tell the rest of his body what to do. Applications using Alternative

Instead, Sam often rests his whole hand on the screen which confuses the iPad and makes the app ineffective.

For help, Sam’s mom turned to Facebook, and Form V found its Innovation Lab challenge. Since the beginning of the school year, the girls have used Google Hangout to chat with Sam and his mother, and are currently researching topics such as developmental disabilities, AAC, and People First language.

Building a Bridge: CSG librarians share their expertise across continents

It is not often that you hear the implicit connection between creating a culture of literacy and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), but in June, CSG’s Director of Information Services Linda Swarlis, PhD and Lower School Librarian Annie Ruefle traveled 6,000 miles to share their expertise on both. The duo traveled to Astana, Kazakhstan, to present a three-day workshop entitled Creating a Culture of Literacy: the promotion of reading and spatial skills development in STEM schools to 40 Nazarbayev Intellectual School (NIS) librarians.

Linda and Annie were invited to the country after meeting with Kazakh librarians in August 2016 when, for the first time, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) held its annual conference in Columbus.

Approximately 3200 librarians from all over the world attended the conference, and after connecting with the Kazakh librarians over a tour of CSG’s libraries and dinner, Linda found herself invited to present in what is the world’s 9th largest country and the largest land-locked country in the world.

It was an incredible opportunity for global and local collaboration, but preparing for the presentation was far from simple. Linda and Annie skyped with their hosts for several months before making the trip, and the presentations and handouts had to be translated into Russian to accommodate the various levels of

English speaking skills among the audience. Some librarians traveled more than 1,500 miles across Kazakhstan to attend the workshop, which included both theory and practice with several hands-on activities. Linda shared her research and findings on spatial skills, how they were being implemented in CSG classrooms, and what can be done to support spatial skill building in the libraries.

Annie used her book, Programming Ideas for Elementary School Librarians, as a framework for sharing ideas for successful reading promotions. Interpreters were provided so that the actual presentations could be delivered in both English and Russian.

There are many similarities in American and Kazakh library programs. Like Annie and Linda, NIS librarians work with reading promotion as well as developing information literacy and research skills in their students. The library collections are similar, as well: 70% of their collection is in English, and the Kazakh students love to read American favorites such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter.

“Neither of us have experienced anything quite like the graciousness, generosity and attentiveness of the Kazakh people,” Linda said. “Hospitality is not just a matter of being polite and offering food; it is truly the essence of their way of life, and we were the beneficiaries of incredible (and quite genuine) generosity and kindness on the part of our Kazakh hosts.”

The Magic of Harry Potter sparks a celebration of reading The start of the school year was simply magical at CSG as the campus was “transfigured” into Hogwarts. Lower school Librarian Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools (NIS) is a network of schools across the country that provide a rigorous curriculum to students who are accepted to the schools only after an intense application process. Instruction is trilingual, in Kazakh, Russian and English. By 12th grade, all instruction is in English. Each of the NIS schools is state of the art and has a specific set of subjects, such as physical science and mathematics, or biological sciences and chemistry.

Meet the Newest Director of the PYC Jamie Schiff, PhD Jamie Schiff joins the CSG community after working with children, families, and teachers for over 12 years.

Most recently she served as an Assistant Professor in the School of Education at Capital University, where she taught Early Literacy and Literature for Early Childhood, Pedagogy: Integrated Language Arts for Early Childhood, and Content Area Literacy.

Philanthropy Makes a Real Impact on CSG – Today and Tomorrow CSG provides exceptional learning opportunities for girls and young women. Students become part of a vibrant community, making friends that last a lifetime while preparing for very bright futures.

Independent schools work to keep tuition as low as possible, providing an excellent educational experience that students deserve and families expect. However, this education comes with significant cost.

While pursuing her Ph.D. at The Ohio State

Before earning her Ph.D., Jamie taught first and second grade while completing her M.Ed. in Educational Leadership at Jacksonville University. Jamie also facilitates professional growth opportunities in the Reggio Emilia approach for teachers in central Ohio. We sat down with Jamie to learn more about her and her vision for the PYC.

and friends the opportunity to support a CSG education while potentially receiving a tax advantage.

Gifts to CSG’s Annual Fund are increasingly important. Similar to a “checking account,” Annual Fund dollars are unrestricted and support annual budgetary needs – salaries, facility improvements, academic programs etc., as well as special extras that make our student experience the best it can be, all in the current academic year.

Another important revenue source, made possible in great part through philanthropy, is the CSG endowment. A 1963 scholarship gift from a forward thinking benefactor and past parent, Mrs. U.S. Brandt, was one of the first made to, and invested in, the CSG endowment.

What attracted to you to the position of Director of the PYC at CSG? As a member of the Columbus Reggio Study Group, I had the opportunity to tour CSG three years ago, and frankly, I was floored. In my experience as an early childhood educator, I had never seen a school that so clearly exemplified the approach’s respect and consideration for the experiences and knowledge young children bring to school. The faculty encourage students to express their theories about the world, solve problems, make decisions, and expand their critical thinking skills in an integrated curriculum. I wanted to be involved in creating and implementing such dynamic learning opportunities.

Your daughter, Sam, was enrolled at CSG before you applied for the position. Why did you choose CSG for Sam? My husband and I chose CSG because we firmly believe in the core mission of Reggio-inspired education. That being said, the tour given by the student ambassador of the entire school was impactful—around every corner we found enlightened and engaged young women of all ages, exhibiting academic rigor and passionate discourse. Upon completion of our tour, we looked at each other and knew unequivocally that Sam would attend CSG not just for preschool, but for her entire academic career.

What is your vision for the PYC? Since I began this position, my work has been rooted in sharing the story of the Program for Young Children. In Ohio and across the country, the PYC has always been recognized as an exemplar of a Reggio-inspired preschool. This work promises to do what is developmentally appropriate for the girls and is inclusive of their inquiry, which will always guide our curricular decisionmaking. In recognizing this, I also see the opportunity for all stakeholders to more deeply share in and respect the work that unfolds in Columbia House. In doing this work, we strive to create community and welcome each girl and her family into a lifelong relationship with CSG. It is truly my honor to learn along with such fiercely dedicated faculty and staff who bring CSG’s mission of “Empowering girls to discover their distinct potential as leaders and learners,” into every dialogue they share with our girls.

If the Annual Fund is a checking account, the endowment is CSG’s “savings account.” Over the years, gifts to endowment have been carefully stewarded by the Board of Trustees and thus have grown, with the fund’s principal invested strategically, for use in perpetuity. Only an annual income distribution is available for use by the school each year.

Endowment gifts often arrive either unrestricted (no limitations as to how the gift should be used) or restricted (a donor may indicate a desire that the annual income distribution support scholarships, faculty, athletics, arts, etc.) Both are valued and play important roles in our school funding.

Endowments are often bolstered by alumnae and friends who wish to make larger gifts, often to “leave a legacy” at CSG. Donors make gifts during their lifetime, or as part of an estate plan. Gifts of cash, securities, retirement plans and bequests all may benefit the school, along with more complex giving vehicles that could provide income for a donor during their lifetime, and become a gift to the school at the donor’s passing. Individual tax implications are usually best discussed first with a financial consultant.

CSG is immensely grateful for all philanthropic support received from alumnae, families and friends annually through gifts

Upper School students, CSG alumnae, faculty, staff and friends gathered in the Agnes Jeffrey Shedd Theater on April 28 to honor 2017 Alumna of the Year honoree Judy Roth Garel ’51. A Bexley resident and a co-founder of the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, Judy attended CSG from 8th grade to 12th grade, before earning her bachelor’s degree from Wellesley College.

Early in her career, Judy worked at Battelle and then at the Ohio Humanities Council. But, it wasn’t long before she embraced her greatest passion: reading and literature. Judy has devoted her time and advocacy to the cause as a past co-chair of the founding committee of the statewide Ohio Public Library Information Network, past president of the Ohio Library Trustees Association, and a past trustee of the Bexley Public Library. She also dedicated years of service on the boards of the Thurber House, Columbus Symphony, Planned Parenthood, and

Judy’s family was there as she accepted the award. In her remarks, she talked about her love for literature and reading, for CSG and for the Women’s Fund. She also took a moment to reflect on all the Women’s

Nancy Cottingham Johnson writes, “Barbara Ebner Lutz represented our class of ’51 at the CSG Reunion Luncheon and Honoring the 2017 Alumna of the Year…our own JUDY ROTH GAREL. Interesting that those 50 years and older were given their own room for lunch and conversation. To a packed room, Judy Roth Garel gave an excellent speech!! Barbara says, “She spoke on finding your niche and

passion and go for it. Citing family, church, and community in that order as being the most important to remember. She spoke of what CSG had taught her and how it influenced her life decisions. Some incidents never go away as she remembered meeting Mrs. Marvin in the hall, explaining to a new prospect, the uniform of a tunic and shorts for all athletic endeavors worn daily. When Mrs. Marvin pulled up Judy’s tunic to show the guests that she was wearing shorts underneath…Oops! Judy had not worn shorts that day!” CSG has given to all a sense of belonging so necessary for one to excel.

Judy Roth Garel certainly gave our Class of ’51 so much pride, loyalty, and love for which we are so grateful. Congratulations Judy!

1952 Class Representative: Barbara Swisher Kelly Barbara Swisher Kelly, writes “I thought I had retired from being in charge of our class news but it seems—praise God—most of us are still kicking, so I thought I’d do another month— especially since we have some exciting good news: Jane Power Mykrantz’s news is included in this report, so I’ll let her tell it.

“On a sadder note, Oralee Coughlin Finnigan is residing at First Community Village and her daughter would like your prayers for her because she has been suffering from Alzheimer’s. She also suffered a fall injuring her back, so she has been confined to a wheelchair, requiring part-time help hired by her daughter.

“I couldn’t reach everyone by telephone— tried several times—but I did have a nice visit with Carol Brooks McCrady, who lives with her husband in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

She is doing well and informed me that her daughters are scattered all over: Leslie in Los Angeles, Rozalind in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Diane in Alaska (still a trip on my bucket list).

“Another person I have had a pleasant conversation with was Nancy Dial Love, who has been widowed since 2005, and is living in a condo in Port Angeles, Washington. She

loves her great view of Victoria and the snow covered mountains of Washington. She loves her condo of five years and manages to play bridge several times a week.

“My news is the same always—enjoying life with my 59 year old son in my log home in New Mexico. Enjoying the scenery and the climate most of the time. Although we do get snow, morning can be in the 30’s, but warm up to the 60’s in March.

“Until the next report if no one wants to take it—this is Barbara Swisher Kelly signing off and wishing you all well!”

Jane Power Mykrantz writes, “After 50 years, I have a new address! 80 Bishop Sq Columbus, Ohio 43209” We are saddened to report the death of Nancy Slade Brennan and Susannah Slade Pierce ’54’s brother, Timothy Slade on April 6, 2017. He attended pre-school at CSG in the 1951-52 school year.

1954 Class Representative: Bette Abel Young

1955 Class Representative: Bobbie Isaac Weiler Bobbie Isaac Weiler writes, “I am writing to you in the heat of the summer just after a hot lunch with our Columbus lunch bunch.

Because I don’t hear from most of you, I must bore you with the same news from the same people. At this stage, truthfully, I think boring is good! We seem to be an unusually healthy

and active bunch—either that or you are not telling me otherwise!

“In July, our little group met at the Granville Inn and the welcome addition was Sarah Jane Stoneman Scuri, who joined the regulars, Jane Peters Ward, Dorothy Sugar Ziegler, Connie Crabbe Dehlendorf, Saundra Dombey Cooke, Anne Johnston Redner, and me. June Loving was also present, which was a super surprise, as she spends most of her time in Florida at The Villages. She is presently in Columbus in the throes of having another hip replacement. No fun, but she did have a great time in Colorado celebrating THE birthday at a dude ranch with her whole family. As we all are having THAT birthday within the next year, let’s share what we are doing to commemorate the occasion. Amazing, isn’t it? Most of us admit to having a much younger woman inside us—and the mirror lies to us daily.

“Jane Peters Ward and Dick rented a house in Michigan for a week from Tucker Ayers Harris and while there, spent time with her (Tucker) and with Esther Webster Summers who was there with her whole family. Jane said it was wonderful fun and good reconnections.

“Dorothy Sugar Ziegler and Fritz have been doing some commuting between Columbus and Lake Erie. When they are here, Dorothy is busy keeping tabs on all of Columbus—she is my guru for who is doing what, where, and when!

“Connie Crabbe Dehlendorf has been coping with a broken wrist, but she is managing admirably. She looks great with an orange cast, and although she talks about downsizing, as do we all, she hasn’t moved that direction yet.

“Saundra Dombey Cooke has filled us in on her extraordinary granddaughter, who is part of the Crew Team from Upper Arlington. She is a rising senior and is second in the nation for Crew! She’s been in England and Canada rowing and colleges are seeking her out!

“As for me, I am fortunate to keep trekking along in reasonably good shape and I hope this continues for Alan and me. I did speak at length with Marcia Willcox McHam a couple weeks ago. She sounds good and philosophic about this aging as we all must be. She did tell me that Roberta Yenkin Krakoff has had some dental issues, but all in all, she is fine.

“I saw Jack Brown recently, Rosamond Brown Vaule’s brother, and he shared, (and I hope I have this correct) that Lars, Rosamond’s elder son is being married this fall. Bravo—the brideto-be is also a Wellesley grad, so Rosamond is doubly thrilled!

“That’s about it from here. There are an awful lot of you I have not heard from. I surely would like to—and I would love to know just how to celebrate this big date. We must do it while we still can! Be in touch, and All Hail Alma Mater!

Bobbie Isaac Weiler ylr2@aol.com.”

1956 Class Representative: Andrea Smith Lorig Judy Yenkin Brachman writes, “Joanna Walz Foster and I had a delightful long lunch and visit in San Antonio in March. Joanna looked great as always, and introduced me to a wonderful local Mexican restaurant, with excellent food. We had serious world-focused discussions and also caught up on families and kids. Before lunch, I got a short visit with Jerry, and can vouch that Joanna is making sure that he is in good health and spirits. Altogether, it was a fun afternoon.”

Joanna Walz Foster writes, “As is true for the last eight years, we summered in Ashland, Oregon. Preceding this journey, we sold our two-story condominium for a refurbished one story unit next door. What a challenge!

Actually I enjoyed trying to find new homes for lots of our stuff. Obviously our children and grandchildren came first but the remainder was dispersed—from a Vietnamese family who had nothing to one of our missions in San Antonio. As for photos, letters etc., I think I foresee the composing of an album to contain items from my mother’s life. Talk about walking down “memory lane”. Life is good. Jerry and I are working out at the YMCA and I love regaining some strength and agility.

We see most of the magnificent theatrical productions here. And, best of all we have seen all of our children and grandchildren recently. Have also seen both sisters; Nancy Walz Chinn ’58 and Miriam Walz McCall ’66. I look forward to hearing about the rest of our class.”

Barbara Babcock Claypool has a new great-grandson, Benjamin Orr, born to her granddaughter Stephanie and her husband, Robert Orr. The baby boy was actually born on Mother’s Day! Barbara now has three greatgrandsons. As they live near her, at times, there are four generations eating a meal at their local restaurant in Jeffersonville, New York.

Apparently, my medication is working. There are many places to walk here. Paths and walkways. One is cautioned about the walkways, however.

Bears and mountain lions lurk. Everyone is so friendly. I am meeting a lot of new people. All in all, this has been a great move.”

Please email me news of yourselves as many of the addresses I have popped back. Here is mine: cchristy@ kira.net.”

Susie Wyker LaPorte writes, “Our two daughters and their families were here in North Carolina over July 4th and the weather cooperated to ensure a great visit with zip lining, rafting, and mountain biking and ended way too soon. The grandkids are now 15, 14, 13, and 12! Life is good and we’re busy and happy!

Enjoy the rest of your summer too! PS....the Wyker sisters still get together biannually but mainly in Arizona since Debby (Deborah Wyker Hoster ’61) and Marty (Martha Wyker Anderton ’63) are finding it more difficult to travel east. We’re all getting older!!

Karen Tweedy-Holmes writes, “As I (we) approach the three-quarters of a century mark, I feel profoundly grateful and lucky to be in good health and to continue to be seriously active, indulging frequently in favorite pursuits that include running, horseback riding, and hiking. Last year, I had the good fortune to meet a literary agent who is currently presenting my book project (documenting a number of varied equineassisted therapy programs in the U.S.). I have continued to add material to the project and have induced a professor, an expert in hippotherapy, to write the introduction. The book combines photographs showing how these programs work and what populations they serve, together with a text description of each program.

“On January 21, 2017, I joined 400,000 women and men in Manhattan, marching to protest the consequences of the national election.

In April, I joined the March for Science with friends from the American Museum of Natural History, and the following day I ran the 9/11 Memorial 5K in lower Manhattan along the Hudson near the World Trade Center site. I ran in the company of my nephew and his father, my brother-in-law, who survived the attack, walking down 82 flights of stairs in the first tower after it was hit.

“Each week, I take a lesson in western horsemanship on a magnificent quarter horse mare called Star. Being with her is one of the great pleasures of my life. A close friend, a Barnard classmate, and I spent an adventuresome week in Iceland in mid-July.

We hiked and rode and descended through the mouth of a defunct volcano’s crater down 120 meters to its floor, the only place in the world where it is possible to do that. The interior walls of the volcano are wildly colorful, positively psychedelic from the variety of minerals mixed with the lava. Lou and I are about to depart for eight days touring in Costa Rica, where I hope to photograph a wide variety of butterflies and birds between the novel experiences of ziplining and walking through the rainforest canopy on hanging bridges. Then, it’s off to the Southwest in midSeptember, returning to my home away from home for a month.

“I’ve just returned from a dazzling week of touring, hiking, and riding in Iceland. When my friend Katherine, and I decided to travel together again, we first considered a walking adventure in England with a stopover in Iceland for a couple of days, but when I researched what we might see and in that chilly island, clearly a couple of days wasn’t going to suffice, so we decided to stay for a week and visit England, which we’d both visited previously, another time. I arranged for flights with Icelandair and with Airbnb for a centrally located room in Reykjavik (I’d read that the average hotel room there in the

summer costs around $240 a night for two, so Airbnb seemed a splendid alternative, and it was). The day we arrived, we spent wandering along the main shopping and restaurant street, Laugevegur, only a block and a half from the house in which we were staying. We marveled at the beauty of the garments made of wool from the magnificent Icelandic sheep, whom I was hoping to approach and photograph. I bought a striking green sweater with black Icelandic horses running around the neck opening at a shop owned by the woman who knitted it.

“I had booked six tours of different sorts for the next six days with six different tour companies. I booked them well in advance because July and August are the peak tourist months, the only period in which the temperature and weather are tolerable for those of us who wish to avoid seriously cold weather. The daytime high temperature while we were there was 54 degrees Fahrenheit, and rain and fog frequently accompanied our tours, so we each purchased a pair of waterproof pants.

“That first day, we took the Flybus into town from the airport, a 50-minute ride through vast fields of lava to the bus stop two blocks from our Airbnb location. Iceland is the most seismically volatile place on the planet, so the lava fields stretch everywhere as far as the eye can see. I had written to Dagny, our Airbnb hostess about our 7 a.m. arrival time, and she had assured us that since no one had booked the room for the previous night, we were welcome to come to the house, drop our bags, freshen up, rest a for a while, and then go out to explore the town.

“When we returned to Reykjavik, we treated ourselves a lovely dinner at a restaurant called Glo that featured a satisfying selection of food for vegetarians at reasonable prices. The

next morning, we arose before the crack of dawn to catch our Flybus to the airport feeling that we had enjoyed a truly splendid holiday.

Usually after these sorts of intense exertions, I am weary for a few days, but this time I was happily invigorated and ready for the next adventure coming right up: to Costa Rica with Lou on Monday for a spot of ziplining and canopy walking and bird and butterfly spotting.

“I encourage anyone who enjoys spectacular geology, horses, exquisite woolen clothing, cool to cold weather, and outstanding hiking to visit Iceland (in the summertime!).

Whatever you are up to this summer, I hope you are having a grand time.”

1962 Class Representative: Patricia Tice Offenberg Betsy Keny McDonald writes, “I was disappointed that I was unable to attend the 55th reunion of our Class of 1962. However, I had a very important reason to miss this one since my oldest grandson graduated from high school and my son, with his family, visited the same weekend celebrating my birthday.

Hopefully I’ll have better timing for the next big reunion. All the best to my classmates!”

Cynthia Yenkin Levinson writes, “My fifth book for kids, which I co-wrote with my husband, will have come out in September.

It’s called Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Framers, Their Fights, and the Flaws that Affect Us Today (Peachtree Publishers, 2017).

It’s already received three starred reviews.

We’re scheduled to give talks in Boston, San Francisco, Austin, St. Louis, Washington, DC, New York, and Philadelphia. We’re happy to go elsewhere as well as to visit schools. In case anyone would like to hear us talk about it, I keep my appearances updated on my website at https://cynthialevinson.com/upcomingappearances/. The book is so timely that we’re updating twice a month on a blog at https:// faultlinesintheconstitution.com/. I’d love it if people would register to receive it!”

1964 Class Representative: Carla Pollack Lane & Linda Benua Lizzie Rambo Lewis knew that she was going to have to miss our class’s 70th birthday reunion in Philadelphia last October, so in September, as she made her way home to Salida, Colorado, from a trip to Martha’s Vineyard, she took advantage of a Boston plane change to spend a day with her three local classmates. Look for the photo proof of them at one of their stops, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum!

In February, Lisa Platt Carmalt and her husband, Charlie, visited India with an American friend who grew up there. Traveling with a fluent Hindi speaker was a great gift, Lisa reports. She and Charlie continue to read and learn about the complexities of Indian culture and society.

Linda Benua and her friend Holli Jones-White joined a July Road Scholar trip to Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal is celebrating the 375th anniversary of its founding this year, and Linda and her group enjoyed walking around at night viewing the evening light shows commemorating Montreal’s history. In Quebec City, they took a private tour of the official residence of the governor general of Canada, which is also where Queen Elizabeth II stays when she visits. Linda says felt like she was in France, especially when enjoying the French cuisine and occasionally using the French Miss Fox taught us.

1965 Class Representative: Dectora Coe Jeffers Dectora Coe Jeffers writes, “Hello classmates! A big birthday for most of us this year, and when we are not too busy to do so, it’s pretty incredible to stop and think about it. To live long is to be able to make many connections between past and present (like many of us seeing or communicating with each other over a span of more than 50 years…see examples below), and when those circles complete themselves, it’s a gift.

“Chris and I have lived in Hartford now for seven years, having retired from our California-based lives and careers in 2007 (we started there together in 1975), then traveled for nearly three years in Asia with no permanent home address. We settled here in Hartford to be near Chris’ mother and enjoyed that proximity until she died in 2013 at the age of 99 and ½. She did not want to be 100!

‘Too old!’ she insisted. Our children are more or less conveniently located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, New York, and Copenhagen, and we have found a very rich life here. We miss Addie (Adelaide Donnan Valentine) and her husband, Bob, who moved several years ago from this area to Arizona.”

Barbara Bonner was at Gramercy Books in Bexley in mid-September to talk about her new book. She stayed with Peggy Lazarus during her visit. Pam Schofield was able to attend one of Barbara’s readings in Cambridge,

Janie Howland wrote that, “On what would have been her mother’s 96th birthday, 7-1717, the family buried her ashes at St Alban’s.

Lulu (Linda Hertenstein Studebaker), Cindy (Cynthia Merrill McAllister), and Sharon (Sharon Monaghan Maul) showed up! It was fun to see them.”

Genie Carlisle Ketterl writes, “I spent birthday #70 in Alabama.....very unusual for me. We went to Talladega for the Nascar race. The day of my birthday it was rainy and miserable but cleared up for the race. We met friends from Canada there…had a great time.” (Sounds far better than my 60th, which was spent rehearsing for a church fund-raising event, but then again, I really didn’t want to pay too much attention to #70.)

Cynthia Merrill McAllister writes, “For my birthday I went to dinner with Nancy Schirm Wright and two other friends from Canal Winchester. Husband had hip replacement in January. I saw Jane Howland, Linda Hertenstein Studebaker, and Sharon Monaghan Maul at the memorial service of Mrs. Howland at St. Albans. Funny thing—my husband wanted to know if I knew where that church was. I keep forgetting he is from Athens, Ohio.”

Dectora Coe Jeffers continues, “Thank you for writing, classmates. Carry on in the best of health.”

1966 Class Representative: Kay Jeffrey Miriam Walz McCall rallied to recover from last year’s serious health issues, beginning with a stroke. She had fun visiting Joanna Walz Foster ’56 in Ashland Oregon.

Sandra Jordan writes, “Initially, I attended CSG from Kindergarten through midSophomore class. I transferred to Eastmoor Senior High School in 1965 and graduated from EHS in 1967. I was married in 1970 and had two children, a daughter, Sarah (B. 01/04/1979) and a son, Christopher (B. 01/17/1984), while in Ohio. In 2010 I moved from Ohio to Arizona to be near my daughter and sister, Eva, in Arizona and my other sister, Laura, in California. I moved this past May (2016) from Arizona to South Carolina.

his family surprised me with a visit last year for Labor Day weekend, just after Tropical Storm Hermine hit on the Friday before. Then, Sarah flew in on my birthday (Sept 8) to visit and stay with me for a week, along with my grand-doggy, Bailey, a Malti-Poo. I flew out to Arizona to visit Sarah for a week this past January (2017), and had a stupendous time! I have had many jobs/positions since high school. Most have been associated with medical/pharmacy areas. I earned my Medical Assistant Degree in Ohio and graduated with honors. Then, when working for an independent Workers Comp company in Westerville, I took the Pharmacy Technician Certification test at Capital University and passed with honors. I have kept my National Certification through PTCB current as it was too difficult a test to NOT keep it current.

When living in Arizona, I worked at Humana Insurance as a Certified Pharmacy Specialist for the RX Mentor Department. I was married and divorced twice, so waiting for God to bring me my 3rd and final “love of my life”, as I quit looking many years ago. My parents, Dudley W. and Charlotte Jordan, both passed away from cancers—my Mom in 1981 of Colon cancer, and my Dad in 1986 of Pancreatic cancer. Thus, I was an “adult orphan” by the age of 37, and it still seems impossible that 30 years have passed since the loss of both parents! Growing up myself and raising children without any parents (Grandparents to my children) was one of the hardest things to do, as I had no parent to ask questions to or give advice to me when I needed it. My faith and God have gotten me through all my life. I have not been able to attend any CSG Reunions up to this point, but I decided it was time to change that this year, as I will be going to Columbus to attend the 2017 CSG Reunion Event for my 50th year Reunion. I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone, as the last time I saw my classmates was at the end of 1964 before transferring to Eastmoor. I can’t wait for the stories, tears, laughter, and hugs!”

Rosalind Mercier just returned from her bi-annual trip to France, visiting cousins at their seaside home on the Riviera near Cannes (filled with the chaos of kids and dogs), and then on to her beloved England to see long-time friends (everything is “longtime” now at this age!). She also went, by the ever-wonderful British Rail, up to the Lake District for the first time, to view Muncaster Castle which has family connections through Rosalind’s father. The highlight, however, was an afternoon at the old Tate, where she

studied up-close the works of John Singer Sargent as a first-hand lesson for her current 6 x 4ft (!) portrait of a Palm Beach couple.

1969 Class Representative: Candace Corson Laurie Zox Leder writes, “I am now semiretired and get to spend time with family in Columbus, Minneapolis, and Richmond.”

Cris Aronson writes,”We closed our New Zealand art gallery, Just Imagine, a year ago in an attempt to spend more of our time in Russell kayaking and sailing rather than working. 14 months ago, our granddaughter was born and so, as often happens, my life took a turn! In fact, I now spend several months a year in the US and most of my “news” centers around Eden and her parents in Dover, Massachusetts and the absolute joy time with them is. The year has not all been easy, however. Last Sept (2016) my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 head and neck cancer. Although we were living overseas, it was strongly recommended that we return to the US for treatment. This we did, settling in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where T received outstanding care at the Calloway Young Cancer Center of Valley View Hospital. Although the prognosis was less than stellar, after months of chemo, 68 sessions of radiation (twice daily), bouts of pneumonia, hospitalizations, and hyperbaric chamber treatments, as I write this, T has no signs of cancer!! So we are incredibly grateful for family, friends and a superb medical team that have given us another lease on life and we will be back in our Russell home early this December.”

Babette Gorman writes, “I can share that my brilliant daughter, Amy Thomson ’08, has a paid fellowship at Mother Jones magazine at their San Francisco headquarters. She’s primarily a fact checker, important enough by itself, but has published several articles on their online site with her own byline. A simple google search of ‘Mother Jones Amy Thomson’ (without quotes) will get you the current list. It’s a temporary job, expiring in December, but MoJo has the option to renew for another six months. After that, who knows where she’ll go? It’s a fun place to visit, especially since I graduated from UC Berkeley many moons ago.

South Bend/Notre Dame, Indiana; in fact my husband, George Knowles, remains very dedicated to teaching the first and secondyear medical students at the Indiana University school of medicine, Notre Dame campus. Two of our four sons live in California, and two live in Indianapolis: the ones with little ones! Our little Zoe was born eight years ago (under 1.5 pound!) and is the light of all our lives, doing really fantastic, as are her precious five-yearold and two-month-old cousins! We are feeling really blessed!

“This October 19, we will be part of a beautiful medical and nutrition conference open to all healthcare professionals (globally) and anyone interested in health, in Indianapolis! I am feeling so thankful that I left office-based medical care 16 years ago (in good standing, and I admire those in the trenches in the offices and hospitals, very much!)—but my heart is in nutrition and empowerment of entire families and communities to feel great, have better quality of life and better longevity, to have much better recovery from chronic illness than I’ve ever seen before, and to be practical and fun about doing that, all based in the basic sciences & working with Nature, (instead of against her!). I teach non-profit classes in basic, home-based herbal uses, and I personally get to be home-based in my work every day. My office helpers are my two little dogs rescued from the pound, a puppy and a 17-year-old rescue!”

Beth Crane writes, “My daughter, Annie Westwater ’01, and her husband, Cormac Eubanks, just had their first child, Amelia Crane Eubanks on August 1. The family is in San Francisco and doing well!”

Meryl Levine Page writes, “I just saw Susan Burchfield Holliday this afternoon—she and her husband Bill are driving back to Seattle from summer camp in northern Wisconsin.

They made another stop in Menominee to see Beth Inglis Simmons. Retirement suits me well. I hardly feel retired with multiple teaching jobs, an occasional book talk, managing my two web pages, and doing a bit of teaching for the Minnesota Humanities Center. Most of all I love the time with our grandchildren. Nothing is sweeter.”

In June, Izzy Zsoldos caught up with Sharon Stucker Weir during her vacation to North Carolina. Sharon was gracious enough to meet with her for dinner, despite the fact that she and husband, Sam, needed to pack for their own vacation the next day to join their daughter in France for a hiking trip. Izzy enjoyed seeing Sharon in her lovely home in Hillsborough, and would like to extend an invitation to meet with classmates visiting the Washington, DC area!

Helen Cummins Strahinich ’67 writes, “I’m broadcasting big brag for my little sister, Jackie Cummins Ducharme, who is, I’m afraid, too modest to send an update herself.

It’s a 320-bed, state-ofart hospital promoting active psychiatric rehabilitation. Kudos to Jackie!”

Many thanks to Katie Carlin Giller for hosting a gathering at her house on Friday night, and April Zimmerman Katz for hosting the official ’87 Unies Bash on Saturday night! A huge THANK YOU to Lucinda Kerschensteiner and David for taking such good care of me and the fam in Ft. Collins—the accommodations and company could not be beat, and the recommended hikes and activities were awesome. Can’t wait to go back, especially when it’s not a record heat wave for the region :). At least it was a dry heat...”

Erin McConaha writes, “Andy, Danica (6 going on 16, with all the attitude that entails), Dillan (4 going on oddly philosophical…I should record the stuff that comes out of his mouth) and I have been living in Brussels Belgium for a year now. With our American-sized yet UK-made SUV, we are fearlessly making our way through beautiful and quirky towns in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands; places we may never have made it to if we were not living here, but wonderful nonetheless.

If anyone needs a break in the land of beer and chocolate, come on by, we have a crazy amount of space and can absorb another family comfortably! Or if you are nearby, e.g., Paris, London, Amsterdam, or The Hague, let me know in advance and who knows, I may pop there if commitments allow, as these are all easy day trips. Yes, I am here with State Department, working at our Mission to the European Union as the Economic Counselor.

Sounds all fancy, I know, but in reality I have kind of come to the conclusion that managing a team makes you part therapist, part service provider, part coach, and part scapegoat, but I am OK with that.”

Kristin McMenamy Stevens writes, “I’ve really enjoyed reconnecting with everyone through the reunion activities and many conversations and lunches since then. For example, I had a great lunch with Cait Schumann after she helped me get tickets to Twenty One Pilots, which was an amazing first concert experience for my two daughters (Clara, almost 11, and

Lauren, 9). They are huge TOP fans, so I earned the title of cool mom, at least for a few hours. Thank you, Cait! I also had the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. recently for a StrengthsFinder certification course, and I had the pleasure of having dinner with Katie Sellers and her family. We had a fantastic conversation and reminisced about our shared first concert experience in 6th grade—Stray Cats! Good times” Rachel Cashdollar Bennett wants to add that she was also at that Stray Cats concert, which remains pretty much the coolest thing she ever did.

Melissa Aukerman Walther writes, “I am still a practicing primary care physician in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My oldest two children are in college and have only one child at home, a rising sophomore. I just completed my 5th Half Ironman in five years (this last one in Costa Rica). I’ll be running in the Columbus Half Marathon in preparation for the Indianapolis Marathon a few weeks later. I look forward to running through Bexley again and around CSG and hope to see some familiar faces on the course like I did a few years ago when I saw Lisa Berger and Katie Carlin Giller among the spectators when I ran the Columbus Marathon.

What a moving experience to be running those streets again like we did with Mr. Guy during track practice! Can’t wait!”

The end is filled with recipes and tips on including all food groups (kid-approved!).

We can assure you that while the role of the Class Representative is essential to maintaining connections between our alumnae and the Alumnae Relations team in Columbus, it is light lifting, extremely manageable, and a terrific way to catch up with your classmates!

Here are the classes in need of a Representative: 1933 1934 1935 1936 1937

1938 1939 1940 1941 1942

1944 1945 1947 1948 1949

1950 1957 1958 1963 1968

1971 1972 1973 1975 2001

Class Reps needed!

Please contact Jordan Hilbrands Gramlich ’07 if you are interested in volunteering as a Class Representative: jgramlich@columbusschoolforgirls.org NOTE: For best photo reproduction in Class News, please submit photo files that are at least 5” wide at 300 ppi (or 6-8 mb file size).

Financial Highlights Dear CSG Family, Thank you for your passion and support! With your help, 2016-17 was another successful academic year for CSG, furthering a great, 118-year tradition of educating girls and young women and producing confident learners and leaders.

Our school remains on solid ground, both academically and financially. We are focused on ensuring access to the resources needed to provide the best education possible to students today, while exploring opportunities to further strengthen our program for students who will follow in an ever-changing academic world in the future.

Ronald A. “Rocky” Robins, Jr.

As I look back on my first year as Chair of the CSG Board, I am proud of the many accomplishments achieved by our girls and our faculty and staff, led by Jennifer Ciccarelli, our Head of School whose contract our Board recently and unanimously agreed to extend by five years. Some of these accomplishments include: • Continuing to bring our Strategic Plan to life throughout the institution, making sure we are inspiring our girls and cultivating them with the strength, grace and confidence to be lifelong learners and leaders.

• Enrolling the 42 members of the Class of 2017 at many of the finest colleges and universities in the country, from Babson and Boston College to Williams and Yale, all of which were among the first three choices of our seniors (and the top choice of 73%) and which collectively awarded an estimated total of $3.8 million in scholarships to the class.

• Our swim team was OHSAA Division II state runner up for the second time in three years and the Grace Notes ranked gold at the WorldStrides national competition in New York; • Raising significant Annual Fund and special purpose dollars that enable us to maintain our high level of academic programming focused specifically on expertise in teaching girls and to fund much-needed enhancements for the courts at the Kieckhefer Tennis Center and the Zimmerman Track on Kirk Campus.

• Balancing our budget but also recognizing and taking on the challenge of further cementing our future by building our endowment and financial reserves.

CSG is stronger than ever, thanks to a consistently generous community. Each year you give your time, resources, and talents in support of our important mission. This past year you spent countless hours engaged in the life of the school as volunteers; shared your professional expertise in the classroom and with the administration, and increased the level of donor participation in our Annual Fund.

It is truly an honor to serve as Chair of the Board of Trustees at a remarkable school, one that not only educates and inspires my two daughters, Leslie and Molly, now, but also did so for my mother, sisters, aunt and cousins – and even for me for two memorable years of kindergarten with Mrs. Dickens – over the past 60-plus years. Thank you for joining me as a valued friend and integral part of the Columbus School for Girls community. Please know that we appreciate your ongoing friendship and your generosity.

Sincerely,

Ronald A. “Rocky” Robins, Jr. Chair, Board of Trustees

CSG closed FY17 in a sound financial position thanks to the careful planning, management, and stewardship of resources, and especially to the continued generosity of our philanthropic community.

The profit realized during FY17 reflects lower energy usage and maintenance expenses as a result of a warm and dry winter, shortterm savings in payroll expenditures due to mid-year employee turnover, and a very successful special fundraising effort which provided significant financial support for the refurbishment of the tennis courts and track at Kirk Campus.

A Courtside Celebration: CSG Community Celebrates Updates at Kirk Campus On September 12, CSG students, faculty and staff, donors, alumnae, families and friends gathered at Kirk Campus to celebrate the re-opening of the renovated courts at the Kieckhefer Tennis Center. Along with Head of School Jennifer Ciccarelli, members of the Donaldson, Katz, Presper, Sharfin, Smith/Brachman, Weiler, Young, and Zimmerman families met courtside to be recognized for their special generosity to the school, with several taking on CSG’s Eunice the Unicorn in a “ceremonial lob” and quick rally led by Cathy and Dave Presper prior to the Upper School match against Pickerington North.

The property that is now Kirk Campus was given to CSG by the Kirk Family to be used and enjoyed by the entire CSG community. It was wonderful to see so many people cheering on our student athletes and celebrating the generosity of 80+ donors from across the country who stepped up to help privately fund Phase I of renovations of the campus. These friends understand the value of Kirk Campus and the importance of keeping the courts, track, fields, and other elements of the facility in top shape not only for athletes today, but for those who follow in their footsteps. Phase II work will continue in the years ahead.

CSG is grateful for the generosity of the donors who made the Kirk Campus updates possible.

Dave Presper, grandparent Ric Zimmerman and his grandchildren Mia Donaldson ’24 and her brother Hayes, encourage Eunice to hit the ball over the net.

Dave Presper P’16 ’18 led the fundraising effort for Kirk Campus Phase I. CSG is grateful to Dave and Cathy for their leadership and ongoing support.

Eunice the Unicorn joined the members of the Varsity tennis team at the September 12 tailgate.
