Where Past & Present Meet

HEAD OF SCHOOL

A defining trait of all teachers is the fact that they love to learn. As a lifelong educator, my eagerness and enthusiasm for learning new things has been central to my first few months at Burke. Like adapting to a new culture, there are endless traditions, rituals, and folkways to learn that give shape to a place. The richness and uniqueness of Burke has revealed itself to me in a variety of voices, places, and people.

I have been able to tap into Burke’s origins and the founding vision for the school that Dick Roth and Jean Mooskin set in motion in 1968, a vision that continues to have deep relevance today. have had the good fortune to meet with many faculty, staff, and administrators who were part of those early years and to hear stories of what has made Burke special. The alumni have also been a valuable source of insight and inspiration; their experience at Burke and how it shaped their lives has been a powerful reminder of the impact that the caring, passionate educators have on the young people in our care every day.

Burke’s past is very much alive in its present. have witnessed firsthand the joy and fellowship as many of the restrictions and constraints of the pandemic have lifted. Students have enjoyed PE class, athletics, and assemblies in the newly renovated (and air conditioned) gym, new classrooms, multipurpose spaces, and offices quickly filled with people and energy. My view from the back of classrooms, in the audience during performances, on the sidelines cheering on our teams, as a chaperone for a field trip, or even from the driver’s seat of a Burke bus, has afforded me the chance to see the school from multiple angles. The progressive ethos and participatory, egalitarian, and democratic ideals that are the core of our founding story remain visible and animated today.

Lastly, am hopeful and optimistic about Burke’s future. The healing from the violence of April 22 and the wellbeing of our community overall are at the heart of decisions about curriculum and assessment, student life programs, and the stewardship of our urban campus. am inspired by the resilience of our students; by the dedication and skill of our faculty and staff; and by the visionary leadership of Co-Presidents Dawn Chism P’21, P’24 and Kira Swenkci P’22, and everyone on the Board of Trustees, who have been great teachers for me as well..

I look forward to continuing my listening, learning, and leadership as the year unfolds.

fall retrospective

From my vantage point, on the first floor of Hobbes, sandwiched between the drive aisle entrance and the conference room, I may not have the most scenic view. The monuments are nowhere in sight; the concrete-to-tree ratio skews toward the former; and my window is a prime place for students to knock post-dismissal. But I maintain that it’s one of the best spots at school.

I watch the Burke buses pull in each morning, bringing students from Suitland and Capitol Hill, from Greenbelt and Silver Spring, and from Arlington and Foxhall. (Have you heard that Burke students represent 65 different zip codes this year?) hear when the Red Line is predictably delayed, or someone caught the L2 just in time.

I catch the ebb and flow of conversations, mystifying jokes, and impromptu musical numbers on the stairs. And witness the spirited, but futile, arguments for riding the elevator “just this one time.”

Given my location, tend to field a delightful array of questions: are you the nurse? (Nope, Bruce is over there.) Do you have snacks? (Yes.) Can I park my bike right here? (Probably.) Have you seen my shoe? (Um.) Can I recap the plot of the book that just finished? (Always.)

After years of upheaval, and a spring that was violent and undeniably life-shifting, these mundane interactions, the predictable comings-and-goings in the early morning and late afternoon, are newly poignant.

There is no return to “normal,” but there is a return to routine, to more predictability in the chaos inherent to adolescence. This year, we can settle into patterns. We can carve out space to be creative and imaginative, to try a rigorous history elective or a new artistic discipline, to kick back on the 1st floor or in the Commons, and to play endless rounds of Uno in the Atrium. (Seriously, seniors, what’s with all the Uno?)

And that has always been true at Burke.

We make space here. For growing and changing, questioning and exploring, for talking and connecting in simple, casual ways. For trying different things, and for proposing strange and awesome projects. We make space just to be, and maybe play some Uno.

That all matters. And I’m fortunate to see a little of it each day.

THE NAMES OF PLACES

BY SHARIELLE APPLEWHITE, DIRECTOR OF EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

One of the hallmarks of Burke has been the time dedicated to student affinity spaces. Affinity groups are brave spaces where everyone in that group shares a common identity. These groups are particularly important for people who have been historically underrepresented and marginalized. These meetings happen during community blocks every Wednesday and two lunchtime periods. We have 13 affinity groups that fall into four categories: racial, gender, sexuality, and religious. Within these groups students find solace in being in community with people of shared identities. In addition to being a supportive space, some groups worked on special projects.

A major project that emerged from affinity groups at the end of the 2022 school year was renaming the Thomas Jefferson Room in the high school to the Fannie Lou Hamer Room. Some students were long dismayed by a room at Burke being named after Thomas Jefferson given his sordid history of enslavement of Black people and inappropriate relationship with an enslaved woman named Sally Hemmings. His past was at odds with our mission of equity and our work around consent and sexual assault.

Two of the students who desired change were Leah Winston ‘22 and Yael Nemeth ‘22. Yael said she couldn’t understand how the progressive school that she attended since 7th grade ensured that she learned the complete history of Thomas Jefferson while still having a room named after him. They got approval from the former Head of School Damian Jones to pursue efforts to find a better role model for the room to be named after. Leah, who was an invaluable and integral part of student life and organizing at Burke, went to the Black Student Union to ask for their input on finding an exemplary role model. From that, Fannie Lou Hamer, a Civil Rights activist was chosen.

Fannie Lou Hamer, born in 1917 in Mississippi, fought tirelessly and risked her life for Black people to have voting rights in the United States. In addition to helping secure voting rights she also organized for better economic and educational opportunities for Black people in her community, the Mississippi Delta. One of the motivating factors for Hamer being an activist was being forcibly sterilized by a doctor without her consent, like many Black women at that time. Similar to Sally Hemmings, she endured a violation to her bodily autonomy and it feels restorative to have a room named after her. Leah stated that, “Fannie Lou Hamer was a resilient, determined, and effective organizer, activist, and leader. She inspires me through her courage in the face of adversity and her commitment to equity and justice for marginalized communities.”

Hamer is a person hope our students will look to for inspiration on being a changemaker. am hopeful this will happen because many of them, like Leah and Yael last year, are already passionately pursuing initiatives to positively contribute to their community. am looking forward to the greatness that will come from affinity spaces in the 2022-23 school year.

The More Things Change

“One of the most significant changes has been carpeting in the High School; despite having 100 more students, it’s now quieter than when began!”

“We’re

are flexible, and we focus on the people who are here now. We are constantly evolving, and we embrace that ethos of bringing your own interests to the table.”

“We were founded to be a school for the square pegs who couldn’t fit in the round holes. We are small and on a first name basis, and there’s no artificial divide. That family feel has stayed the same.”

JOHN HOWARD

Performing Arts Faculty, 1989-present

A resident of Upton Street at the start of his tenure, John is an alumni parent (Sam ‘11, Nora ‘14), soccer coach, and creative force behind Burke’s instrumental music and band program. He also performs in Takoma Jazz, alongside faculty members Eugenio Ibarz and Stacy Smith.

Longtime faculty and staff members reflect on what has changed and what endures over many years at school.

“We are no longer all crammed into the High School building, and we now have SIS [Student Information System] and iPads – they changed the way we do things, and yet they haven’t.”

“We had dogs when started in the late ‘90s and we have dogs now. But now we have an actual Dog Policy Before, it was just something people did.”

DAVID PANUSH

Director of Technology & Innovative Learning, 1998-present

While serving on the Administrative team, David continues to teach in the History department, including electives in Social and Behavioral Psychology. He was the Cross Country and Track & Field coach for many years, and he is currently an advisor for 12th grade.

“We are in the same location, [almost] the same size. We’ve made significant changes around the edges.”

“What we have always done is look at individual decisions for individual students, and do what is best for them.”

KAREN KLAUTKY Assistant to the Head of School, 1997-present

In addition to working with every Head of School in Burke’s history, Karen has advised the Black Student Union, serves as an Equity & Inclusion coordinator and a 9th grade advisor. She earned a BA and MA in Economics and occasionally has taught High School math.

“Years ago, folks had looser job descriptions. If there was a mailing, everyone was doing the mailing.”

“We have always been the place for the non-cookie cutter kid. We were accepting of kids from all different backgrounds, with diversity in its full definition ”

“Burke has established itself as we are, and we always manage to keep that in some form.”

“We have more diversity now among students and adults, which is a distinct positive change; we have more Black men on the faculty, and [past Head of School] Damian [Jones] being one of them was significant.”

“Assemblies are more organized. They used to be highly spontaneous.”

“In recent years, we have done a better job of addressing racial injustice within our walls.”

“The strength of the advisory program has remained the same. [With a different advisor in each High School grade], students have the opportunity to form relationships with more adults in the building.”

“Fundamentally, the adult/student experience is the most important, and they have time to know one another as human beings.”

BOB KULAWIEC Science Department Chair, 1998-present

An alumni parent (Adam ‘16, Claire ‘17), Bob has taught Chemistry and AP Chemistry to hundreds of students. He currently advises the Science Club, serves as a 10th grade advisor, and runs a robust YouTube channel, best known for “Determining the Formula of a Hydrate” (70K views).

“Faculty always have a willingness to help out when things get kind of funky.”

“When folks come to Burke, they love what it does and the relationships they establish here.”

Visual Arts Department, 2000-present

A native Washingtonian, Allen teaches digital + darkroom photography, and filmmaking at Burke, as well as Howard University (where he is also an alum). He is a 12th grade advisor, supports the Young Black Men affinity group and Burke Film Club, and is a prolific artist.

“Fire drills used to be more of a suggestion.”

DANNY SPELTA

Associate Dean of College Counseling, 2007-present

Last spring marked Danny’s fifteenth year at Burke, where he also was a member of the Leadership Program team for ten years and an 11th grade advisor for two, plus a stint as the Testing Coordinator.

“I’ve been here, at one school, for so long because we have support from leadership, and that support hasn’t changed. When it comes to leadership, Burke does have a track record of getting it right.”

“Stacy [Smith] often talks about filling your tank, and Burke is very tank-filling. Hearing all the different points of view from everyone here has helped me grow as a person.”

not a place of too many heavily-imbued traditions. We

SNAPSHOTS: INDEPENDENT STUDIES

• Solana Torres ‘22 engaged in a three-year-long independent study in Chinese, from 2019 until graduation, as she prepared to move abroad for college. This fall, Solana matriculated at Duke Kushan, a partnership between Duke University and Wuhan University

• Ten students in 10th-12th grade pursued independent studies in computer science this past school year, including Liam Widnell ‘22 who proposed building a Wordpress website from scratch and creating a custom theme. He first created a Ubuntu Linux server by installing the necessary software, then moved on to installing Wordpress and a MySQL database before focusing on Wordpress customization.

• Twelve students participated in the teaching assistant (TA) program last year, providing classroom, field trip, and project support in math, science, history, health, visual arts, and instrumental music.

FOUNDERS DAY

Following a canceled Founders Day in 2020, a hybrid Founders Day in 2021, and a delayed event this past spring, Founders Day was back at last on May 27, 2022. Needless to say, the energy and the volume were high – and even parents were invited to join the festivities.

Early in the spring, students and faculty divided into inter-grade teams, each with a delectable cereal-themed name (“Fruity Pebbles” and “Frosted Flakes”), in line with this year’s theme. On the day, teams alternated between relay races in the Gym and lip syncing battles in the Atrium, complete with choreographed dances and props.

Relay components included “transport the 6th grader carrying a balloon” and “complete a three-legged race while falling only slightly less than one’s opponent.” Lip sync judges included faculty, administrators, and one of the numerous Class of 2021 alums who kept popping up.

SPOTLIGHT: SENIOR PROJECT

In May, Lena Streitwieser ‘22 checked in from her past hometown (Berlin, Germany), where she spent her senior project period on a multimedia portfolio, writing:

“My senior project is a multimedia artistic portfolio surrounding the theme of “belonging.” I have explored this theme through creating various mini sketches, a collage, a drawing, a pen drawing, a watercolor painting, and a short film.

“My objective was to examine the ways in which belonging” is naturally represented in Berlin, the way I see it. Naturally, art is subjective, and may require some explanation at times if the artist wants their audience to fully understand the purpose and intention behind the work. That is why I have crafted descriptions for each of my art pieces that may help contextualize the pieces and ground them in the theme.”

2022 GRADUATION

Class of 2022 Graduation

On Sunday, June 5, 2022, the Class of 2022 joined the ranks of alumni.

At the University of the District of Columbia’s (UDC) spacious Theater of the Arts, this year’s ceremonies featured seven student speakers, three band performances, and an address from Ty Hobson-Powell, Founder & Director of Policy for Concerned Citizens DC.

Outgoing Head of School Damian Jones P’20 and Chair of the Board of Trustees Sharon Davis P’19 awarded diplomas to the 50 members of the class, who have taken their talents, tenacity, and compassion to nearly 40 different colleges and universities – both in the United States and abroad, including Canada, China, France, Ireland, and Scotland.

Here is one of the times where I let my words flow candidly in my mind and allowed them to find me, as opposed to trying to find them before putting them on paper. Never did think time would fly by so fast. Four years feels so much like four months. It feels like only yesterday when eight of my peers and I walked into Sean’s 6th grade classroom, noticing new, unfamiliar faces, for the very first time.

During my seven-year career at Burke, have been graced with the most incredible teachers, who have all taught me with the utmost passion, care, and patience. They have helped me not only have successful years as a student, but extremely successful years just as Montanna. The interactions and memories have made with teachers, faculty, staff, and friends inside and outside of the classroom are always and forever, and that’s exactly how long I will cherish them.

I am forever grateful.

I would first like to allot this precious moment to thank my mom, dad, younger sister [Marli ‘28] grandfather, grandmothers, aunts, uncles and mentors. Thank you so much for the countless sacrifices you have made.

I appreciate you for instilling meaningful values in me, teaching me the importance of pairing my academic interests with my social justice passions and for doing absolutely everything possible to put me on a solid path to greatness. It never goes unnoticed. Thank you for always believing in me, even when I sometimes did not [...] The love I have for you all is immeasurable and no words could ever express my gratitude.

Over the past few years, I have also realized that my experiences at Burke and beyond were certainly not defined by the challenges of the pandemic. 2020 was all about self-cultivation, 2021 was fruitful, and honestly I’m still in the process of figuring out what 2022 has in store and that is perfectly okay. I’ve realized that my journey doesn’t always make sense

and it doesn’t always have a transparent direction, but nothing replaces the feeling of the growth in those moments.

The dimmer moments.

The “gots to see it through” moments. And those moments when I really thought I was starting all over.

Over the course of the last amazing seven years, I’ve truly realized that my goals do not care about my excuses. One of the many things that encourages me to improve each day is knowing my future is literally based on how make it. I’ve learned that life is not really a test. Instead, it is a learning curve and decisions and responsibility go hand in and hand.

look forward to giving back, taking my future and doing something big with it. I am so excited for new beginnings and bittersweet endings.

On French: Finding My Way

by Gabriel Brumberg ‘22 (University

of Chicago ‘26)

There’s an old joke I’ve heard many times that goes something like: If someone that speaks three languages is trilingual, and someone that speaks two languages is bilingual, what do you call someone that speaks only one language? American.

That may be a stereotype, but there’s also truth to it. Just one in five Americans can comfortably converse in more than one language.

Burke fights that stereotype head-on. In the rest of the country, one-quarter of high-schoolers will ever study a foreign language. At Burke, it’s 100%. It gets worse in college; just seven percent will ever enroll in a single foreign language class.

Burke treats foreign languages with the care they deserve. The school knows that studying languages is not just a practical undertaking to open up new worlds of communication, but also a vehicle for tremendous expansion in our cultural knowledge and understanding.

Spanish, with 40 million speakers in this country – heck, it shouldn’t even be called a foreign language. French is listed as an official language in the second-most countries in the world: 29 countries across five continents. And Latin. Well, I’m not really sure why anyone takes Latin. But you are building an understanding of the bones of numerous languages, and equipping yourself to jump into many classics in their original language.

Burke forces us to engage with these languages, even those of us that are reluctant. As we sit, grumbling over the conjugation worksheet we have to fill out, we are unwittingly being armed with the tools we need to communicate with millions of people and engage with entire worlds of culture and history. By the time we reach AP languages, we are having entire class-long discussions about anything you can think of in a new language.

love the department’s focus on conversation - putting yourself out there while speaking and explaining yourself even when you can’t always find the exact word. In fact, my French class this year is cramming to study for the AP exam because we’ve spent so much time just having fun in French: joking about ridiculously shaped motorcycles, gossipping about school drama, or sharing what we did over the weekend. All without a word of English. Usually.

Studying a foreign language at Burke has allowed me to help a lost Frenchman on the metro (true story). It has broken the secrecy of the only way my parents used to be able to communicate with each other without me understanding. It has allowed me to find my way through Paris and develop a relationship with a host family.

want to thank all the teachers in the world languages department for their work. To all of you, keep taking languages. Don’t worry too much about the worksheets, just try your best to speak and listen as much as you can. With some luck, we’ll make that stereotype old news.

Science:

Evolving Into Passion

by Leah Winston’22 ( University of Virginia ‘26)

I hated science. Well honestly, hated science class.

Before Burke, felt ostracized and out of place in my science classes. Then I got here, and while didn’t quite understand what was going on at first, could feel the difference in the culture. My teachers reviewed with me after school, answered all my questions with a smile, and hopped on Zoom calls to help me complete problem sets during a global pandemic.

The theme I quickly felt in the Burke Science Department is that no one is left behind.

My teachers have been committed to supporting their students as best they can. Committed to creating class environments where we feel safe to fail, to get the answers wrong, but try again and thrive. Attending Burke has been the first time I felt like I belonged in my science classes.

I now know that science is and should be for everyone. The innovations that we desperately need for the future can only occur if people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences are working together to change the world.

The greatest lesson that the Burke Science Department taught me was not about the mitochondria, acid-base reactions, or electricity – while those are important too. It was to not let the restrictions of my past hamper the trajectory of my future.

While I’m still not the biggest fan of Algebra, I can confidently say that my “hate” for science has evolved into a passion, love and career path – and I have all the teachers of the Science Department to thank for it.

MOVING UP

As is the 8th grade tradition, our 31 members of the Class of 2026 gathered in the theater on Tuesday, June 7, to celebrate the conclusion of Middle School and mark the start of High School –through a ceremony that they had conceptualized and planned together throughout the spring, with guidance and support from Amy Cataldo P’23, ‘24 (MS Dean of Special Programs) and Susan Hearn P’14, ‘16 (Head of Middle School).

Brooklyn M. ‘26, Hilliard N. ‘26, Jay B. ‘26, Lina B. ‘26, Taylor S. ‘26 and Zuri K. ‘26 shared the hosting duties – and brought all the requisite flair and quips. Student speakers were Brooklyn, Jay, Mel A. ‘26, Rahaf A. ‘26, and Taylor, and the Middle School band performed three songs, concluding with “Lean on Me.”

ALUMNI WEEKEND

ALUMNI EVENTS

UPCOMING ALUMNI

This September 16th and 17th brought another joyful, in-person Alumni Weekend! On Friday evening, over 120 members of the Burke community, including alumni, students, and parents, gathered at Nationals Stadium to cheer on the Nats in a game against the Florida Marlins. It must have been that lucky Bengal spirit that led our home team to a win that night!

Then, Burke grads spanning six decades gathered together on a beautiful Saturday evening for a rooftop reception on Burke’s fourth floor terrace, where we raised a glass in celebration of our milestone reunion years (classes ending in 2 & 7), and our alumni had an opportunity to meet and hear from Steve McManus.

Thanks to all those who joined us for a fun and festive weekend! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

IN MEMORY

Noah Philip MacMillan ‘07 died peacefully on July 31 at his childhood home in Takoma Park, MD, surrounded by the love of his family.

Son of Lucinda Leach (longtime Burke faculty member), Noah was a dedicated illustrator, marathon runner, soccer player, killer chef, and ardent Arsenal fan. He was a gentle giant who could also throw down on the dance floor. He was always up for adventure and loved learning more about the world in ways both big and small. Noah’s vibrant illustrations and murals can be seen around the US, from downtown Chicago to the City Museum in St. Louis.

On October 24, the US Postal Service revealed the new stamp designs for 2023, including a stamp celebrating US Women’s Soccer, illustrated by Noah – ensuring his beautiful work will endure, far and wide in the country.

SPOTLIGHT

When the pandemic interrupted her service in the Peace Corps in Belize, Maggie Eckerson ‘14 returned to the United States and ultimately joined AmeriCorps for two 10-month sessions, first in the National Civilian Community Corps and then Volunteers in Service to America.

Just two years later, Maggie received two United States Presidential Volunteer Service Awards and the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award in a ceremony at the White House, hosted by President Biden. To be eligible for the latter award, individuals must record more than 4,000 hours of volunteer service.

Alejandro Veracruz, Q’eqchi Language & Cultural Facilitator in Peace Corps Belize, reported that “[Maggie’s] interest in pursuing a career in service was sparked by Burke’s service program and I hope the Burke community is proud of the profound impact it has had.” He added that Maggie also received a job offer to become an FBI Investigative Specialist.

Dear Burke Community,

As we reflect on the 2021-22 school year, it feels nearly impossible to articulate the multitude of emotions that we know that we share with our Burke family. We continued to persevere through far-reaching challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the incomprehensible events of April 22; it is easy to be overwhelmed by what we have experienced. But as much as our world and our school have endured, we have never lost our sense of community, and in fact, our resilience has made us collectively stronger than ever. As we move forward together with joy, hope, and Burke Love, the light of our community burns so brightly. We are immensely grateful to each and every one of you that stand with Burke and support the school in so many ways. You are what allows us to remain the very special community that we are, and there is certainly much to be proud of!

This past spring, we were overjoyed that the newly-renovated spaces made possible by the historic $6 million Stand with Burke Campaign were officially completed and opened for our community to enjoy. These renovations to our original building space in Mooskin-Roth Hall have allowed us to truly utilize all square footage of our urban campus to its fullest potential. It has been so gratifying to see students enjoying additional community and classroom spaces, a fully renovated and air conditioned gym, a brand new fitness center and locker rooms, and a new servery area for lunch. Faculty are thriving in their much-needed new office spaces, and we are proud of the improved accessibility on all floors of the building. We look forward to finalizing plans and commencing some external renovations in the near future.

The end of this last fundraising year concluded most of our campaign pledges. We are so very grateful to all who contributed. As we embark on a new year, we hope that our community will continue to make inspirational commitments to Burke.

This was once again a record-breaking fundraising year on more than one front. Burke’s second annual Day of Giving inspired over 300 Bengals near and far to contribute nearly $127,000 to Burke’s Annual Fund. If that wasn’t enough to celebrate, April 9th’s Auction for Financial Aid certainly was! Your generous donations enabled us to raise nearly $400,000 for Financial Aid. These incredible achievements illustrate your devotion to Burke.

Following the events of April 22, the most difficult time in Burke’s history, we were overwhelmed by the swell of outreach from our Burke family, seeking a way to support our school. After careful consideration, we established Burke’s Fund for Restoration, Healing, and Joy. We are truly grateful to all those who have made gifts to this fund. Your kindness will enable us to provide joy and healing to our community in the coming months and years.

At the end of this last school year, we closed one chapter as we said farewell to Damian, who shepherded us so well through eight years of Burke’s history. We could not be more grateful for his service, leadership, and partnership and wish him continued success in his next journey. And, as we began this new year at Burke, we opened the next chapter of our book, welcoming our new Head of School, Steve McManus. This is undoubtedly an important moment in our school’s history, and we are proud to have Steve at the helm. Over these last several months, we have been nothing less than impressed and delighted by Steve’s connection with the members of our community, how he has absorbed what makes Burke, Burke, and his enthusiasm for helping to lead Burke fearlessly (and thoughtfully) into its next era. We are thrilled to partner with Steve to make Burke’s future a bright one.

With much to look forward to, we are excited to embark upon this new chapter in Burke’s story. We are encouraged by the tremendous culture of engagement, support, and care within our community, and are delighted that we have the opportunity to partner with you to continue to help Burke move forward.

Finally, to each of you listed among these following pages: please accept our personal thanks for the exemplary ways in which you have supported our school. We are grateful, and we celebrate you!

CLASS OF 2022 FAMILY GIFT

It has been a longstanding tradition that the families of the graduating class join together in support of a special class fundraising effort in commemoration of their students’ accomplishments and in recognition of what Burke has meant to them. Parents from the Class of 2022 wanted to leave behind a gift that would contribute to the eventual reimagination of Burke’s outdoor space outside of the older building on Upton Street, helping to make it an inviting place where members of the community can gather and share time together.

Congratulations, and thank you to the Class of 2022 graduates and their families!

TEAM BURKE:

2ND ANNUAL COMMUNITY DAY OF GIVING

In December 2021, Burke held its second annual Day of Giving and far exceeded the previous year’s Day of Giving successes! This community heeded the call, and we quickly sailed past

$20,000 challenge grant from Kira Swencki and Mike Mihalke P’22. Then, things got even more exciting when we crossed the 300 donor mark, exceeding a secondary participation goal of 250 and securing a bonus challenge grant of $15,000 issued by an anonymous alumni supporter. There were additional generous challenge gifts for each and every current parent class, as well as for alumni and past parents — and the challenges were all met, and in many cases exceeded. When the day came to an official close, nearly $147,000 was raised in support of Burke’s Annual Fund. We are incredibly grateful to our Burke family — near and far, past and present — for showing up as members of “Team Burke” during this special day. Your collective participation allows us to ensure the school’s ability to remain nimble and to respond to the immediate and long-term needs of our students, teachers, programs, and operations. Together, we are TEAM BURKE!

All donors who participated in the Day of Giving are listed within the Annual Giving participation lists, as well.

Nearly $147,000 raised

We are all Team Burke!

Over half of the dollars raised during the Day of Giving are attributable to advocacy: participation in challenges and matches, link sharing, and volunteer outreach.

DONORS TO FINANCIAL AID

Mystery Solved, and Record-Breaking Dollars for Financial Aid Raised!

On Saturday, April 9, the Burke community gathered for the very long-awaited return of an in-person Auction for Financial Aid Burke’s campus was transformed into the Clue mansion, and guests enjoyed musical performances, tasty eats, and joined in to help solve the mystery to rescue the Bengal from a sticky end (Whodunnit?! Turns out it was Mrs. Peacock!). Not only was there record-breaking attendance (our biggest crowd to date!), but together, we raised record-breaking funds for the school’s Financial Aid Program — nearing $400,000!

A highlight of the evening was the paddle raise for Financial Aid, which this year was held in thanks and celebration of outgoing Head of School Damian Jones. The Burke community — both in the Clue mansion and virtually from destinations near and far — dedicated over $190,000 in honor of Damian and his many contributions our school.

We are so incredibly grateful to all of the members of the Burke community who helped us pull off an event more exciting than we could have imagined. Your generosity of time, talent, and financial support help us to continue to ensure that our students and families continue to have the resources they need to experience a Burke education.

*Please note: 1968 Magazine generally goes to print before the annual audit is complete, and thus these numbers are subject to change. Audited financials are available upon request.

Gifts to the Annual Fund provide Burke with a critical source of unrestricted funds and the flexibility to use those dollars where our students, teachers, programs, and facilities need them most.

This list represents donors to the Annual Fund during the 2021-2022 fundraising year. We are so very thankful for your support

The following is a list of all donors who made gifts to either the Annual Fund or Financial Aid between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. We list our donors by class year, giving circle, and special funds, so many names appear more than once. We’ve made every effort to provide an accurate and complete list of donors. However, if we have accidentally made an error in your listing, please accept our sincerest apologies and contact the Development Office so that we can correct our records. Please note that any tax deductible gifts, including gifts made through the 2022 Auction, are reflected in the donor’s giving circle placement.

JOSEPH SHARLITT MEMORIAL FUND

Mary Elyn and Robert McNichols

On April 22, the Burke community endured what every modern school fears. The sniper-style attack directed at our campus seriously injured three members of our school community, caused additional minor injuries, and significantly damaged the physical building. The shooting also inflicted fear and trauma upon the students, faculty, staff, coaches and caregivers within the building that day, and on those watching helplessly from the outside, sick with worry about their children, parents, spouses, teachers, friends,and colleagues. The trauma rippled out to our extended family, too — our alums, our past parents, our grandparents, past faculty and staff, and neighbors — who know Burke to be a place of joy and safety.

Though months have passed and much joy and “normality” has returned to Burke’s halls, the healing and caring for our community and our campus continues. Following April 22, there was an amazing outpouring of interest in supporting the school, and we thought very carefully about how to respond to this generosity. We knew that establishing Burke’s Fund for Restoration, Healing, and Joy would be the best way for us to thoughtfully direct funds toward activities that will allow our community to continue to move forward: community building activities; continue therapeutic services; additional security measures; building restoration projects; and beyond.

To date, 119 members of the Burke family — near and far, past and present — have contributed over $26,000. We are incredibly grateful for the strength and resilience of our shared Burke community and for the love and care that our extended Burke family has shown over the last several months. Together we are strong!

We continue on a journey to reclaim our home as a place of safety and comfort, to heal the hearts, minds and bodies of our community members, and to replace fear with peace and joy.

Our Mission

Burke consciously brings together students who are different from one another in many ways, actively engages them in their own education, holds them to high expectations, gives them power and responsibility, and supports and advances their growth as skilled and independent thinkers who step forward to make positive contributions to the world in which they live.

Equity and Inclusion at Burke

Burke respects the dignity and humanity of our students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and trustees, as well as our broader community. We embrace a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to cultivate understanding and appreciation of diversity that includes, but is not limited to, age, ability, ethnicity, family structure, gender, gender identity, political perspectives, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We acknowledge and encourage differences of opinions, ideas, and interests, and we expect thoughtful discussion and civil engagement.

44 \\ 1968 Edmund Burke School Magazine

Burke affirms the individual worth of all community members, and we challenge behaviors that demean, marginalize, or exclude others. Our goal is to maintain a diverse school community that exemplifies these values and to fulfill our commitment to equity and inclusion consistently in all areas of school and community life.
