Dedham Country Day School Annual Report 2019-2020


“Every moment of the school day plays a role in a child’s education: the serendipitous walk down the hall with a student from another grade; the moment at recess that mixes new peers together for a game; the bulletin board that sparks a new interest; the smell of a favorite food cooking that offers comfort; the physical feeling of being in a room with laughter and the reverberation in a room full of drummers. Nothing is superfluous and it all adds up to a student’s experience.” —Allison Webster, “The Myth of Our Separateness: Reflections on the Pandemic”


A Message from Allison Webster, Head of School and Board of Trustees President, Mark Epker Dear Friends, We are pleased to share the 2019-20 Annual Report of giving for Dedham Country Day School. Previously included in our Bulletin, this separate report enhances our ability to celebrate DCD’s culture of philanthropy while also featuring our community accomplishments, profiles of our donors, and the school’s financial health. The fiscal year brought remarkable success to DCD by breaking previous records for annual giving, but also challenged us as a community. COVID-19 certainly shifted our norms in the classroom, on the field, and in the art studio, and impacted our learning model as a community that thrives on meaningful, in-person relationships. Yet, what emerged from our unforeseen shift to online learning in the spring was the incredible resilience and ingenuity of our teachers and staff who worked to stay true to our mission and meet the needs of DCD students. Your contributions to DCD provided us the flexibility to adapt our programs while remotely maintaining our “whole child” philosophy of nourishing the social-emotional and academic growth of children. The pages that follow document the members of our community who came together and helped us achieve success this year. We are humbled by your collective display of generosity. Our school community is stronger because of you! Warmly,

Allison D. Webster Head of School

Mark R. Epker President, Board of Trustees

“Mrs. Price has been amazing [throughout the remote-learning process]. I think she’s done a wonderful job of creating a curriculum that is appropriate and varied enough so that my son doesn’t get bored. She’s been responsive to questions and you can tell she genuinely cares about how all the kids are doing. I am so happy we have her as a teacher through this.” —Tricia Balatico Burch, Current Lower School Parent

An Imaginable Place for Education A conversation with Kate Reardon, DCD Director of Academic Technology When students, faculty, staff and parents left the DCD campus on March 12, 2020, no one knew definitively when, or if, we would return for the final ten weeks of school. “When faced with this uncertainty, we knew we had to modify the format of our curriculum and programs in a way that was appropriate for a possible online learning environment,” explains Kate Reardon, Director of Academic Technology at DCD. Kate shares how the entire DCD community came together, despite physical distances, to sustain learning, stay connected, and implement a meaningful experience for our students and families.

What steps did the technology department and faculty take when DCD had to transition entirely to online learning? Our faculty and staff had already been using a lot of online tools with their students throughout the school year, which established a good foundation to build on, and enabled DCD to pivot quickly from in-person learning to remote learning. The faculty and staff worked tirelessly through March break to explore additional applications, platforms, and best practices in order to continue teaching across academics, arts, and athletics. Right away, we created “DCD Staying Connected,” a dedicated Google Site that served as a central landing page of resources for parents and students. We used the first two weeks of school in April to test some new applications with students and get feedback from families through a parent survey and one-on-one conversations. One thing we learned from parents is they liked what DCD was doing with remote learning, and they wanted more. From the feedback, teachers made adjustments to the curriculum and added additional synchronous classes and enrichment opportunities, such as clubs and lunch bunches, to further enhance student experiences.

During distance learning, Kindergarteners were asked to choose a favorite book, have someone read it aloud, select a favorite illustration from the book, and draw it with sand or sidewalk chalk. Lena F. (above) chose “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” for her book and colorfully illustrated it on her driveway.

How did the faculty meet the individual educational needs of students? Ensuring DCD’s remote learning program was accessible to all our students was a priority. Through the generous support from donors to the Innovation Fund, we have a robust 1:1 tech program where each student has access to an iPad, Chromebook, or laptop. We were able to extend this program beyond our campus, lending iPads and laptops to many families in grades Pre-K through 8. We also spent time as a faculty considering how to redesign our lessons so that they are easy to access at home. We wanted to ensure that the technology enhanced the educational experience rather than distracted from the learning goals. Teachers already understood the learning style of each

student and adjusted their approach to meet student needs. When necessary, we trained teachers in new online applications to create experiences that were aligned with learning outcomes based on individual student interests and needs. This approach allowed students to complete tasks at their own pace, using digital and physical resources available to them. Throughout the spring we provided multiple avenues for student-teacher and parent-teacher communication, via Zoom, to evaluate and share student progress. When we came across gaps during remote learning, we sought solutions to support students and families across all grades.

What was the most important finding at the end of the academic year? There was so much enthusiasm among the faculty to adopt new and engaging tools to use remotely. It provided the opportunity to facilitate five key teaching and learning paths to meet our goal of developing independent thinkers: ` Independent Projects — Student-driven

projects using a design-thinking process on topics students are passionate about. ` Thematic Cross-Curricular Learning —

Collaborating across subject areas focused on one core element or specific learning goal.

classroom approach while working in small groups and sharing ideas through mixed media. ` Student Agency, Choice, & Voice — Giving

students the power to direct and take responsibility for their learning through choice boards and their own “published” work. ` Differentiation & Competency-Based

Assessment Models — Evaluating student competency through skill-based assessments and offering differentiated, skill-building assignments across curriculum.

` Blended Learning Stations & Rotations —

Students self-pace by using the flipped

What were some of the ways DCD continued to build community remotely? We held several traditional DCD events in a modified and creative way online including, the DCD Fair, DCD Olympics, closing assembly and graduation. We also added a few opportunities for students to connect with each other during the week including morning PE, Lunch Bunch and Extended Day for the lower school. By far the most fun the community had was the “Pie in the Face” challenge. DCD students recorded themselves getting whipped cream smashed in the face, then had to “challenge” three friends, faculty or staff members to do the same. The hilarious videos were shared on DCD’s social media channels for two weeks. Nearly every student participated in the challenge including Head of School Allison Webster, several parents, and over 40 faculty members. Another highlight was at the end of the school year, when teachers Ms. Maloney and Ms. Price surprised each student in person (safely distanced) to deliver certificates and congratulate them on completing their Kindergarten year.

Share some of the highlights from the spring and summer. A particular highlight was our “Tuesday Together” workshops, weekly in-house professional development where we shared the lessons and strategies that were most successful in the spring and best practices from our ongoing coursework. Each Tuesday had a central theme, such as Student Voice & Choice, Virtual Classrooms, and Social-Emotional Learning & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. These weekly gatherings not only helped us build our skills as teachers and share across grade levels, but they also provided regular moments of connection for our faculty and staff during a time of distancing. Due to our success in the spring, I am proud to say DCD teachers have been asked to present their work at AISNE workshops and MassCUE’s fall conference. Our work was also featured in several professional development workshops centered around best practices in online learning, including the Global Online Academy, AISNE, and the Global Educator Collective Group. We are considered a leader amongst our peers, and I am excited to see future successes in the 2020-21 school year.

What can we expect from DCD in the fall of 2020? In preparation for all three learning plans — in-person, hybrid, and remote — faculty and staff engaged in a summer professional development program that included research and coursework, in-house professional development, and curriculum building and planning. This work was driven by three guiding questions: ` What does hybrid-learning mean at DCD? ` How might we approach our curriculum

differently in a hybrid-learning environment? ` What methods, tools, and mindsets will we

need to leverage in order to be successful in the 2020-21 school year? This fall we are resuming in-person learning with strict guidelines to promote our community’s health and safety. Should a shift to a hybrid model be required, DCD is well prepared for each grade level. Our approach will combine a developmentally appropriate combination of

synchronous, asynchronous, and small-group experiences that are designed to maintain community connections and support our curriculum. During the school day, students will see some synchronous sessions where new content is being delivered or students are working collaboratively, combined with asynchronous materials for independent work, and opportunities for 1:1 check-ins with teachers. At DCD, you can see an innovative mindset in all areas of the school, from the small class sizes, depth of faculty expertise, robust resources, and strong sense of purpose. Our small class sizes allowed us to come together immediately in our online classes; our depth of faculty expertise helped us quickly identify what our students will need; our Innovation Fund allowed us immediately to provide for those needs; and our commitment to our mission drives each decision that we make. We are not bound by the artificial nine-month timeline of a school year that can make it hard for so many schools to innovate. Rather, we have the resources that allow our community to think creatively and be flexible in the face of challenging times so that we can provide our children with the support, education, and hope that we all need this year.

“What we learned this past spring and summer was we have incredible “asset-based” thinkers among our faculty and staff. We take deep pride in what we do and stay focused on what is working. We have the capacity to act quickly and are eager to recognize how we can improve the skills we bring to the classroom to provide an exceptional online learning experience to our students.” — Kate Reardon, Director of Academic Technology


Annual Report of Giving We are pleased to present you with our annual report of giving for 2019-2020. We are so grateful to our community of parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, trustees, and friends who demonstrated their commitment to DCD with generous donations to the school. This report celebrates the hundreds of gifts we received between July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 that helped sustain a meaningful experience for all our students throughout the year.


Letter from Charles Rudnick, Director of Advancement To Members of the DCD community: The past year was one like no other in recent memory, as all of our lives were upended by the pandemic and the resulting economic disruption. At DCD, like other educational institutions, we were forced to transform our entire program to a distance-learning model on what seemed like a moment’s notice. Even though there were a few bumps in the road, this transition led to a robust and meaningful educational experience for our students. While the world around us shut down, DCD provided an online environment where kids could stay connected with each other and their teachers, continue to learn and grow, and even enjoy new, remote versions of DCD traditions such as the Fair and 8th Grade Graduation (not to mention the newly minted “Hawk Day”!). While not the spring any of us imagined or wanted, we certainly made the most of our difficult circumstances. Making all this happen challenged us to live up to our longtime motto, “Learning is a Way of Life”. And it could not have succeeded without the full collaboration of everyone in our community; seeing parents,

grandparents, siblings and others supporting their family’s learning was a true inspiration. We were also astounded by the outpouring of support from the broader DCD family. As you can see in this Annual Report — our first stand-alone summary of philanthropy at DCD — our Annual Fund exceeded its financial goal and reached 96 percent participation by current parents; the Class of 2020 8th Grade Parent Gift funded the construction of our new outdoor learning pavilion, with 99 percent parent participation; and we successfully launched the initial phase of our capital campaign. The strong support from our alumni, past parents, grandparents, trustees, and other friends, on top of a remarkable 100 percent participation by our faculty and staff in the Annual Fund for the 10th year in a row, shows the commitment of everyone at DCD to making sure our students thrive. This support is both meaningful and impactful, as the school invests in critical enhancements to make sure we are fully prepared for whatever learning models we need to rely on in the coming year. On behalf of all of us at DCD, thank you for your trust in DCD and for your generous support. Sincerely, Charles Rudnick Director of Advancement

Finding the Right Fit in a School When DCD current parents Dr. Allen Hwang and Dr. Supriya Rao moved to the suburbs of Boston, they had initially planned to send their children to public school. “Our town has great public schools, but we wanted to explore all the educational options and felt there were a lot of private schools worth looking at,” Allen said. During their visits to several area private schools, Allen and Supriya appreciated the benefits of smaller class sizes, more personalized attention from teachers, and a community of like-minded people. However, as Allen cautioned, “There is a high risk of sending your child to private school and having them come out entitled. That is not how we were raised, and we do not want to raise kids to feel or act entitled.” When they visited DCD, Supriya recalls, “We immediately felt like it was a fit for us as parents and a fit for Sanjana as a student. From the first visit on, the attention we received from all levels of the school was incredible. You could tell Allison [Webster] and Emilie [Liebhoff] were involved with every student and parent at DCD. It is an elite school, but it didn’t feel elitist,” she said. “We saw right away the positive impact DCD had on our shy and somewhat introverted

daughter,” Supriya said. “We attribute Sanjana’s ability to speak in front of large crowds entirely to DCD. To stand up in front of the whole school in Pre-K and perform in a play gave her confidence in public speaking.” Supriya adds, “Sid, our son, who started in Pre-K this year, also made huge strides. DCD was able to harness Sid’s energy to give him more focused direction in his learning.” As parents, Allen and Supriya jumped right into the DCD community and played an essential role in the selection of Flik Dining for DCD’s food service. “As gastroenterologists, child obesity and the need to bring healthy food options to children are extremely important to us,” said Supriya, adding, “It was nice to know our opinion and input was valued by the leadership at DCD. They really listened to all the members of the community, and it felt nice to be a part of that process.” This fall, Sanjana will be in second grade and is looking forward to spending time with her friends in the classroom. Her younger brother, Sid, is excited to show off his newfound love of reading.

“The programming DCD offers is more than just academic—it includes the arts, community-building, service learning, and life skills that happen outside the classroom. It takes more than just tuition for DCD to go above and beyond the classroom, and our gift to the Annual Fund helps support all those efforts.”

“I knew we were lucky when we received our acceptance letter to DCD. I intentionally write ‘we’ as it has been a community, a family we joined. But it has been the last few months that has reinforced for our family that it is not the campus but the community that keeps us connected.” — Melissa Crowe, Current Middle School Parent

Sowing the Seeds of Social Change An Interview with Steven Perry ’85 and Sharisse Cail Perry When Steven and Sharisse Perry were looking for a school for their two daughters, DCD was one of several schools on their list. Steve, a graduate of the Class of 1985, had favorable memories of DCD, its faculty, and the athletic program, and he cherished the lifelong friendships he formed while a student here. Steve remembered how it felt to be the only person of color in his class and only one of six in the school and was aware of the ratios of people of color at the schools he visited with his daughters. As he recalls, “There were other schools Sharisse and I looked at for Sophia ’16 and Summer ’20 that had more people of color, but when we visited DCD, the community was so welcoming that it felt like the right fit for our girls.” Sharisse adds, “We noticed DCD was reinforcing the messages of acceptance and inclusiveness that we were teaching at home, and that was very important to us when selecting a school.”

“DCD is a place where you can send your child to get a hug, while at the same time be motivated and pushed to excel in the classroom.”

Steve and Sharisse jumped right into the DCD community and established a partnership with the school’s leadership. They were steady volunteers at school events, active on the Parents’ Association, but more importantly, Steve and Sharisse lead the effort to build a greater awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at DCD. “We wanted to support the school in ways where we could really have an impact and help open the community’s eyes to diversity issues and topics,” Steve says.

Steve volunteered his time and energy on the Diversity Committee and helped organize the annual CommUNITY evenings where parents and teachers come together for dinner and dialogue to celebrate and support differences and inclusion at DCD. During his time on the committee, DCD attracted such influential national speakers as Claude Steele, author of Whistling Vivaldi: And Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us to the annual event. He also started a fall cookout for families of color to get to know each other informally. When DCD partnered with the National SEED Project (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity), Sharisse seamlessly stepped into a leadership role to guide peers in conversation to drive organizational and social change. Sharisse and DCD parent Karen Salfity committed to immersive, off-site training and volunteered to lead the SEED program for current parents. Together, Sharisee and Karen developed a seminar series for the parent cohort that met monthly for evening workshops throughout the 2019-20 school year. Sharisse recognizes the positive impact SEED has had on DCD families and has graciously agreed to lead the parent cohort with Karen for the 2020-21 school year. “The school provided an environment where our girls felt confident, where they had a voice, and their voices were valued,” Sharisse says. As Steve reflects on his years at DCD as a student and as a parent he says, “Some of the boundaries I felt as a student of color are still present today, but there is good work going on at DCD surrounding diversity, with meaningful intentions. The seeds of change have been planted by the leadership, faculty, and parents, and there is great potential for growth.” 21


“I think the reason we have such an amazing community at DCD is because of the strong connections we make with each other and with our teachers. I feel that because of this pandemic, the Class of 2020 has actually grown closer. I believe that because we have less time together, we value the time we DO have. We’ve realized the importance of connection despite our differences. We need each other.” — Abby Rochelle ’20, Graduation Speaker

“It’s the little moments of personal connection with the students, which happen throughout the day, that are most important to me as a teacher. Not only does it give the kids an opportunity to tell me what’s on their minds, but it also helps me in assessing the student’s growth throughout the school year. Knowing that our one-on-one time is meaningful, whether in person or over Zoom, is a reward in itself.” —Cheryl Price, Kindergarten Teacher 25


“Some of the highlights for me during distance learning were the weekly "lunch bunches" where the children gathered virtually and shared stories while eating lunch. It was a great opportunity for us to connect as a community. Lunch bunches for K-2 and grades 3-5 were hosted by me, Ms. Albert, Ms. McPherson, and Ms. Val. We all shared stories and I would DJ at the end so we could have a virtual dance party! I loved watching the faces of the students when we were all together.” —Carla Haith, Head of Lower School

But when you imagine them… each unit a small piece of a whole and connected system of children and adults, the awe-inspiring beauty of our school – and the power of it as a whole – comes into clearer focus” —Allison Webster, “The Myth of Our Separateness: Reflections on the Pandemic” 30

Endowment & The Annual Fund WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Making a charitable gift is a very personal decision. Understanding the differences between gifts to the Endowment and gifts to the Annual Fund will help you determine the impact you want to have on the people and spaces at DCD that are most important to you. DCD needs both endowed and annual fund gifts to support its mission now and in the future. Determining the impact you hope to have may lead you toward one gift type versus the other.

Endowed gifts are a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is paid out to support the fund’s purpose, and any earnings in excess of this distribution are used to build the fund’s market value. An endowed fund can grow and provide support for its designated purpose in perpetuity. When you give to an endowment fund that already exists, you create a permanent legacy of support for DCD.

Annual Fund gifts have a direct and immediate impact on all aspects of DCD and support academics, athletics, arts, financial aid, facilities and campus life. It is not usually invested for the long term but will be used to meet a pressing priority, possibly in the same fiscal year that DCD receives it. Additionally, the Annual Fund provides the flexibility to respond quickly to new opportunities and unexpected needs.

Eighth-Grade Parents’ Gift Co-Chairs:

Matt and Sheila Hiatt David Hoffman and Kathy Odomirok-Hoffman Thanks to the Eighth-Grade Parent Gift co-chairs together with the parents of the Class of 2020, a total of $97,574 was raised to build an outdoor learning pavilion overlooking the lower fields. This year’s parent gift honors the 2020 graduates, faculty, staff and administration and leaves a legacy for new generations of DCD children. The pavilion encompasses elements that fit seamlessly into the vision of the DCD strategic objective to “make DCD the best possible environment for fostering long-term well-being in children and adolescents.” This will be the first of many outdoor learning spaces at DCD to better connect our campus and enhance opportunities to engage, learn, and grow among the beautiful landscape.

Eighth-Grade Students’ Gift The Class of 2020 raised $687 through a holiday bake sale and chose to donate the majority of the funds to support families impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis. Recognizing that hunger and food insecurity rose dramatically in families who lost jobs and among children, who typically receive meals through schools.

Secondary School Selections

The Class of 2020 split a donation of $450 between the Greater Boston Food Bank and the Dedham Food Pantry as a step toward making a difference in that need. Eighth graders donated the remainder of the funds directly to DCD to help purchase supplies for the newly constructed outdoor pavilion by the lower fields (see Eighth Grade Parents’ Gift opposite).

“Be a voice in your classes in high school. Be a voice in conversations with your friends and family. Be a voice with your school officials or elected officials, if you think something doesn’t seem right. Ask the tough questions. Propose solutions. Raise awareness.” — Charles Rudnick, 2020 graduation speaker

Donor Profile

Three Generations of the Rothwell Family at DCD When Jane Rothwell had a brief conversation with another mom at the hockey rink in 1989, she never imagined it would ignite a relationship with DCD that would surpass thirty years and span three generations. That rinkside conversation prompted a call to DCD, and within the week, Jane’s son Patrick (in sixth grade at the time) interviewed with Head of Upper School, Tim Jackson ’58. Patrick emerged from Tim’s office and immediately declared to his mom, “I really want to go to DCD!” Patrick was sold on the place the minute Tim ignited a conversation about their mutual love of hockey. The next thing Jane and her husband Buck knew, two of their four children were enrolled at DCD—Patrick ’91, Christopher ’95. Their daughter Megan ’97 followed in her brothers’ footsteps a few years later. While their children were students, Jane immersed herself in the DCD community as a volunteer in the library, serving on the Parents’ Association, and working at the DCD Summer Camp. Additionally, Buck served on the Board of Trustees from 1995 to 1997. It wasn’t until after her youngest child, Megan, graduated in 1997 that Jane took a teaching position at DCD. “I remembered how Ruth Gow gave each student in her class individual attention. That had such a positive impact on me as a parent that Ruth’s approach to teaching became a model for my own classroom,” Jane says. When Jane became a teacher at DCD, it felt apropos to have Ruth Gow’s children in her kindergarten classroom. Despite not attending DCD, Jane’s oldest daughter, Alyssa Rothwell Sinclair, did not let that stop her from joining the “family business.” Alyssa began working summers at the DCD camp, and in 1996 (when little sister Megan was in eighth grade), she started working full-time at DCD. “I loved working at the summer camp, which led to an interview with Jim Bower, who hired me to work afternoons in kindergarten and the

Extended Day Program,” Alyssa explains. Now a second-grade teacher, Alyssa is entering her 25th year at DCD. After Megan graduated, she, too, worked as a counselor at the DCD camp and made lifelong friends there. Megan recalls, “A year after college, Mark Jackson called me to see if I would be interested in teaching PE, while Elaine Gage was on maternity leave.” Megan didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to work at DCD and says, “Elaine was a strong influence on me and helped shape me into the educator I am today. She was a great coach, mentor, and friend to me over the years.” As a parent, Jane was impressed by how invested the teachers were in the students’ growth and progress. “Sue Shirley engaged her students in science with her hands-on learning approach. She truly cared about each and every student.” Over the past thirty years, the Rothwell family has experienced DCD from multiple perspectives—as parents, students, teachers, coaches, and camp counselors—and “we fully appreciate how very special DCD is,” Jane shares. The family tradition continues with a third generation at DCD when Megan’s daughter, Addie, the family’s youngest member, begins Pre-K this fall.
