Faculty Alumni Spotlight

Ivan Gattis (‘74), the Physical Education teacher, attended St. Timothy’s School from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. During his time as a student, Mr. Gattis remembers playing in the new gym when it was built, eating Stewart sandwiches and ice cream for lunch and getting in trouble with Father Hale when he and his friends picked berries off the bushes and threw them at each other. Mr. Gattis says, “The best feeling I got when I first came back to work was one of familiarity. The values and ideals that were taught to me are still being taught today. That continuity, the merging of the past and present is important.” Thanks for sharing, Mr. Gattis!

Letter from the Rector

In the Marvel Studios film

“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Iron Man, played by Robert Downey, Jr., asks his fellow Avengers how they plan to beat the biggest threats in the universe. Actor Chris Evans as Captain America replies, “Together.” When Iron Man responds by stating, “We’ll lose,” Captain America replies again saying, “Then we’ll do that together, too.” What do we so admire about banding together to face our shared challenges? How many films, novels and short stories can you think of that show how a group of people put aside their differences and unite their efforts to achieve a common goal? Just look at the disciples in the Bible. In spite of their many differences, they work together to follow Jesus faithfully and to spread the word of the Lord to all those willing to listen.

As Rector of this parish, and as one deeply

connected to St. Timothy’s School at every level, I have been inspired—though not surprised—at how our school community has banded together during these unique and uncertain times. We haven’t stood by and witnessed as St. Timothy’s School created an otherwise non-existent community; rather, through this coronavirus pandemic, we’ve seen proof of just how strong and connected our community already was! “Doing it together” is something I have already seen time and time again on campus, but it may be something others are now seeing in all its glory for the first time. My own conclusion is that such togetherness finds its source in our school’s Christian foundation and identity. We are not just any old educational institution. We are a unique organization modeled on an older and more global community, the Church—a body of people brought together by God, frequently challenged, and perpetually changed as it seeks to know and love God through following in the footsteps of its Savior and Lord, Jesus.

Despite all the challenges and changes

it faces, the Church is founded on the idea of one. As the Apostle Paul reminds a congregation in the ancient city of Ephesus, “There is one body and one Spirit; you were called to one hope; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all” (Ephesians 4:4-6). The Church is called to be one. Any community that finds its foundation in the Church, like our school, should seek to do likewise. What all these changes have shown me, is that being one is just what we are doing—and doing well!
