SCHOOL NEWS AND FALL ATHLETICS ROUNDUP

/ A LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL / Dear Friends, Would the Smead sisters still recognize the school that they bravely moved to Toledo 130 years ago? So much has changed, and rightly so, as the school leaders navigated the great upheavals of the 20th Century from the industrial revolution, through the great wars, and the Civil Rights Movement. Today, with a record enrollment of 513 students, Maumee Valley is thriving and in the midst of adapting yet again, this time to the opportunities and challenges of globalization and technology. The same pioneer spirit that moved the school from Batavia, NY to Toledo, and from downtown Toledo to the countryside as part of the country day school movement is alive and well in our school today. The Smead sisters would be pleased to see that the childcentered, experiential education path that they charted so many years ago continues to drive our innovation today. In this issue of The Valley you will read about MV2020: Personal, Experiential, Global, our plan to ensure that MVCDS students continue to get the best preparation for the future. The other thing the Smead sisters would recognize and appreciate is the ongoing presence of a dedicated, talented, and compassionate faculty. At a recent NYC alumni gathering, an alumna told me that she knows that in addition to preparing her well for college, her Maumee Valley experience prepared her for life. When asked how we accomplished that, she was quick to respond that it was her relationships with her teachers. No doubt caring, demanding, interesting, approachable, and innovative teachers have long been at the heart of a Maumee Valley education. Ray Kressmann ‘50 wrote about the life shaping experience he had in Hugh Coryell’s geography class in the 1940s, where Mr. Coryell gave each student an US road atlas, some ground rules, and told them they could travel anywhere they wanted, they just needed to write about what they learned and share it with their classmates. Until then, Mr. Kressmann hadn’t realized just how fun and engaging learning could be and he remembers those lessons 70 years later. A similar message was delivered last month by Lauren Kohler ‘15 when she addressed our leadership donors. Lauren wrote, “The quality of academics here just shines. I don’t know what it means to walk into a class and be bored or uninspired. The teachers are mentors who both care about me -- and definitely challenge me – in just the right measure. They love teaching and bring their subject to life with passion, complexity, and humor. The teachers here get to know each student personally.” (You can read more of Mr. Kressmann’s letter and Ms. Kohler’s speech in this issue of The Valley.) I can’t remember a more exciting time to be in education. Opportunities abound to connect our students to learners around the globe and to provide them with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. It is rewarding and reassuring to know that a personal, experiential, and global education is not only what today’s students need, but that it is also deeply rooted in our school’s history. Warm Regards,

A VERY SPOOKY

HALLOWEEN

AT MAUMEE VALLEY

Maumee Valley turned into Mummy Valley on October 31, as tiny ghouls and goblins crept around campus seeking fun and treats. The Lower School and Early Learning Center students paraded through the hallways showing off some very scary and very sparkly attire. The Early Learning Center students made stops along the route to collect goodies from various trick or treat stations, including Mr. Boehm’s office! The day continued with the Middle School’s Haunted Hallway, area parties throughout the Lower School, and a variety of games and craft activities in the Early Learning Center. Children dipped tiny fingers into buckets of spaghetti “brains” and played Halloween BINGO while parent volunteers read spooky stories. Mr. Klausz, Director of ELC, was wrapped up like a mummy, and everyone enjoyed green smoothies and cake pops while playing in the Haunted House.

MVCDS 7TH GRADER WINS WRITING CONTEST

impressed their audience with their knowledge of this

Maumee Valley Country Day School seventh grader, Hannah Shariff, was named the grand prize winner in Scholastic’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I “Change the World” writing contest. Writing for an authentic audience is a goal that Maumee Valley’s Middle School teachers are committed to. Eimile Green, Hannah’s seventh grade English teacher, makes this a reality in her classes by encouraging students to choose and participate in a writing contest each month. After numerous brainstorming sessions and writing workshops, the students took pen to paper and got to work writing their original essays for various contests they had chosen. Hannah took it one step further and found additional contests on the Scholastic website. Hannah’s winning essay titled Biggest Problem in the World: The Overconsumption of Technology earned her the grand prize. In addition to being the envy of Hunger Games fans across the country, Hannah and her mother were flown to Los Angeles in late November for the movie premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I.

“metal with a memory.” Thanks to the partnership with Fort Wayne Metals and the Dynamic and Smart Systems Laboratory at the University of Toledo, the exhibit was a crowd favorite. The club looks forward to sharing their knowledge and designing another hands-on activity for next year’s STEM event.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB JOINS THE PEOPLE’S CLIMATE MARCH IN NYC The People’s Climate March took place on Sunday, September 21 in New York City, and it was by far the largest climate march in history. With an estimated 400,000 people in attendance and 1,574 participating organizations, the march brought together scientists, celebrities, political leaders, and concerned citizens frustrated by a lack of action on global warming. Maumee Valley’s Environmental Club (ECHO) was started this fall by Lauren Kohler ’15 and Suki Dayal ’15. Lauren and Jacob Lape ’16, another club member, participated in the People’s Climate March and represented ECHO with pride. While the NYC event was by far the largest in the world, the People’s Climate March movement is moving people to action across the planet. On September 20-21 people in 162 countries around the world engaged in demonstrations calling the world’s leaders to take action on climate change.

/ CURRENT FEATURED STUDENT PROFILES / JESSICA LEE, a senior at Maumee Valley, is making an impact in her school, her community, and across the world. Jessica’s work, her goals, and her accomplishments all reflect the mission and core values of Maumee Valley Country Day School. When asked what she has most enjoyed about her experience at MVCDS, Jessica indicated that Maumee Valley has presented her with many opportunities to take charge and grow, and that it fosters a sense of initiative. She also shared the many different opportunities she has been given to lead and give back. Jessica first heard about the Teaching Peace Initiative (TPI) in Mr. Mumford’s history class. He is the club’s advisor and was seeking a leader amongst his students. Jessica liked the fact that this was a group of students coming together to foster nonviolent communication and reduce bullying, in addition to finding real solutions that work. Teaching Peace Initiative provides Jessica and her peers with a grant-winning curriculum that they use to teach the Lower and Middle School students. Jessica is the Regional Executive Director for the Toledo area, and she works with the Founding Director of TPI as well as local liaisons to run the MVCDS chapter. She is hoping to create a proposal to keep the club going once she graduates, and she plans to continue her involvement with TPI at the collegiate level. JESSICA LEE ‘15

ORAN WILLIAMS

joined the Maumee Valley community as a sophomore. He has always dreamed of being an engineer, like his father, so when he arrived on campus he quickly found his way to the Robotics Winterim. Now an active member of the Maumee Valley Robotics Club, Oran and his Upper School peers join forces with the Middle School Robotics Club to participate in competitions. Their current challenge involves programming a robot that can build two wind turbines, one large and one small, without causing disruption to the environment. Oran and his team break up into various sections in Robotics, such as programming, building, and engineering notebook. Oran is currently part of the engineering notebook, or record keeping, team, but he also has an opportunity to branch out and work with other sections. He is really interested in learning how to program, but also assists with building and making improvements and troubleshooting. Oran would like to focus on mechanical or electrical engineering, and his dream is to one day attend MIT.

When asked what his goals and dreams for the future are, Oran responded, “I want to invent something that will impact the world in a good way. I’ve always wanted to improve the world.” Oran’s passions don’t end with robotics. He and his mother have been active members of Jack and Jill of America since Oran was a young child. Jack and Jill’s mission is to bring together mothers and children in order to strengthen and nurture the next generation of African American leaders. Through Jack and Jill, Oran has had the opportunity to participate in charitable events and community service, as well as meet with other chapters of the organization. Jack and Jill has over 230 chapters nationwide, each providing programming and support for children from early childhood through high school. Oran also hopes to incorporate African American studies into his future educational plans. Oran explained, “My parents taught me to know my history and to see no color.” In addition to his involvement with Jack and Jill, Oran is a seasoned Boy Scout, having been a member since third grade. He is currently Star Rank, working on Life Rank, with the hopes of achieving Eagle Scout before he begins his senior year at Maumee Valley. He has served as a Patrol Leader and would like to assume the role of Senior Patrol Leader. He

/ CURRENT FEATURED STUDENT PROFILES / Leading TPI is just one of Jessica’s many contributions to the Maumee Valley community. She is also President of the Community Service Club and the Student Life Committee Chair for the Global Leadership Program (GLP). She enjoys organizing events for the GLP and is looking forward to the possibility of a spring break service trip to Guatemala. Jessica has traveled abroad many times during spring break and Winterim to countries such as Tanzania and Thailand. In Tanzania she traveled around the country profiling Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). If the community service club travels to Guatemala during spring break this year, their plan is to build a school using trash and recycled materials. Jessica’s eyes light up when she talks about helping others. This is clearly something that she is passionate about and plans to stay committed to the rest of her life. When asked what her goals, hopes, and dreams are for the future, Jessica replied, “I want to be a professional humanitarian.” She is certainly off to an impressive start. Jessica has secured a Winterim internship with Genocide Watch, a Washington D.C. based non-profit on a mission to predict, prevent, stop, and punish genocide and other forms of mass murder. Jessica is the first high school student to ever secure an internship with this prestigious organization. She hopes that

this experience will open the door for her to someday start her own non-profit or take on a leadership role in an existing NGO. All of these commitments leave Jessica with limited free time, but she does manage to stay involved in dance, another one of her passions. She has been a competitive dancer for over three years, and she praises the sport for teaching her discipline. She enjoys participating in many different styles of dance, from modern to hip hop and everything in between. When asked if she has any regrets about her time at Maumee Valley, Jessica replied, “I wish I had been able to find the time to join a team sport!” Jessica is making the most of her high school journey, embracing the core values of a Maumee Valley education and incorporating them into her daily life. The future of humanity, in the hands of young women like Jessica, is a very bright future indeed.

recently joined the Woodwind Ensemble Club at Maumee Valley, playing the alto saxophone. Oran is also trying his hand at JV Basketball this year! Last year he was in charge of team stats and is a self proclaimed “math guy.” This year, in addition to stats, he is joining his teammates on the court. While Oran and his mom participate in Jack and Jill together, his father’s time in the Air Force inspired him to join JROTC. He spent time in the summer participating in boot camp, which involved learning codes, marching, and participating in leadership activities from 6:00am7:00pm. Oran said his biggest accomplishment to date was completing boot camp, even though he broke his collar bone and had to finish it injured. Oran loves to travel with his parents and has spent time in England, Japan, Alaska, and Oman, where he lived during one of his father’s Air Force assignments. His favorite place, so far, has been Japan where he visited Tokyo and Kyoto. He has family there, and he really enjoyed experiencing the lights of the city as well as all of the different technology. Oran feels that one of the biggest advantages of a Maumee Valley education is the hands-on, intensive Winterim experience, as it is something unique to MVCDS that other schools just don’t offer. Although his time at Maumee Valley has been brief, he is already making a big impact in his school community and beyond. ORAN WILLIAMS ‘16

In addition to his extracurricular activities, Sam has had the opportunity to participate in several academic competitions during his time at Maumee Valley. He won second place in fourth grade at the National Geographic Geography Bee, an all-school competition for grades 4 through 8. He is hoping to win first or second place in this year’s competition. When asked how he prepares himself for this type of academic contest, Sam said that he studies many books, flashcards, and games. Sam and his robotics teammates won at the regional level two years in a row and advanced to the district level. They won a project award as well as a programming award. They invented a ladder for the elderly which has been granted a U.S. patent. Another challenge he and his team took on was the “Food Factor.” They needed to design something that makes it safer to eat. Sam and his team designed an egg carton that detects salmonella. They created a game called “Egg-pardy” to go along with their project and played the Jeopardy theme song on their violins. Sam looks forward to joining the Solve Team, where students will work together to solve problems related to technology and engineering. As a member of the nutrition committee, Sam and his peers are trying to reorganize the dining hall to make it more intuitive, as well as surveying the student body to pinpoint healthy foods that students like to eat. When Sam isn’t working on dining hall blueprints he might be helping to plan a book fair for Lower School or organizing the next pep rally as a member of the Kid Council.

LAUREN KOHLER ’15 RECENTLY SPOKE AT THIS YEAR’S ANNUAL LEADERSHIP DINNER. HER PASSION AND LOVE FOR EVERYTHING MAUMEE VALLEY SHINED THROUGH AS SHE ADDRESSED THE CROWD OF ALUMNI, FACULTY, AND LONGTIME SUPPORTERS OF THE SCHOOL.

“THE COMBINATION OF WORLD-CLASS PROGRAMS AND PHENOMENAL PEOPLE IS WHAT MAKES MAUMEE VALLEY SO EXTRAORDINARY.” LAUREN, ON ACADEMICS… THE QUALITY OF ACADEMICS HERE JUST SHINES. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK INTO A CLASS AND BE BORED OR UNINSPIRED. THE TEACHERS ARE MENTORS WHO BOTH CARE ABOUT ME — AND DEFINITELY CHALLENGE ME — IN JUST THE RIGHT MEASURE. THEY LOVE TEACHING AND BRING THEIR SUBJECT TO LIFE WITH PASSION, COMPLEXITY, AND HUMOR. THE TEACHERS HERE GET TO KNOW EACH STUDENT PERSONALLY. LAUREN, ON LEADERSHIP… THE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES HERE ARE WAY BEYOND STANDARD. THEY ARE NUMEROUS, DIVERSE AND MEANINGFUL, INVOLVING REAL RESPONSIBILITY. I’VE SERVED AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE FOR STUDENT COUNCIL, SPORTS TEAM CAPTAIN, AND AS STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE WINTERIM COMMITTEE. I’M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, A TRACK WHICH INCLUDES ENRICHED LEARNING, GREAT SPEAKERS, AND INTERNATIONAL INVOLVEMENT. LAUREN, ON ATHLETICS… I’VE HEARD IT SAID THAT FOR KIDS, PLAYING GAMES IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS DEFINITELY TRUE FOR ME. PLAYING FIELD HOCKEY AND LACROSSE HAVE BEEN A TOTALLY UNEXPECTED HIGH POINT OF MY EXPERIENCE AT MAUMEE VALLEY. I CANNOT IMAGINE MY LIFE THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITHOUT MAUMEE VALLEY ATHLETICS, ESPECIALLY FIELD HOCKEY. MY TEAMMATES HAVE BECOME SOME OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS AND ARE LIKE FAMILY. “AS I NAVIGATE MY COLLEGE SEARCH, I’M FINDING IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THAN I PREDICTED — NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND A UNIVERSITY WHERE I THINK I COULD SUCCEED, BUT DIFFICULT TO FIND ONE THAT MEASURES UP TO THE GREAT EXPERIENCE AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS I’VE DEVELOPED AT MAUMEE VALLEY.”

/ CURRENT ATHLETICS RECAP / THE VARSITY GOLF TEAM, young but incredibly talented, had

an amazing year. They finished fourth at the TAAC Tournament in Bowling Green and eighth in sectionals at Green Springs. Each player showed great improvement and the team is poised to be a force in the league for years to come. Coach Kevin Tolles is delighted with his team’s progress and the effort they made throughout the season. With Evan Abdoo ’17, Noah Flack ’17, Jacob Greenbaum ’17, Ollie Heard ’18, Rory Hopkins ’18, Ricky Kaser ’17, Alex Pechlivanos ’16, and Theo Pechlivanos ’18 returning for another round next season, golf fans can expect another impressive year in 2015. 1

THE VARSITY GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM started the season with one of

the toughest schedules in the state. They had competitive matches against Division I schools like Perrysburg, Notre Dame, Southview, Northview, and St. Ursula Academy. These matches were excellent preparation for the state tennis tournament and league schedule. After a slow start, the girls won 6 out of their last 10 matches and made it to the final 16 of the state tournament. Coach Jim Davis and Coach Eric North both noted the resiliency of the team after a challenging early season schedule. The coaches are proud of their team and thank the seniors Angie Banoub, Breanne Bergeon, Katie Martin, Hannah Parry, Jess Qu, Lindsey Shin, Kendall Swartzell, and Abi Raj for their dedication to the sport over the past four years. 2

THE VARSITY BOYS’ SOCCER TEAM completed the regular season

as NWOSSL League Champions and League Runner Up in the TAAC. They were led by Thomas Cunliffe ’16, who scored 33 goals, Jeremy Anderson ’15, Zain Bedi ’15, Lucas Isaza ’15, and Turner Booth ’15. The team climbed to #10 in the state and began their pursuit of a state title in October with a home game against Toledo Christian. They made it all the way to the District Semi Finals and finished with a 13-3-1 record. Lucas Isaza won Player of the Year in the TAAC. Coach Ross France feels the team made tremendous progress and thanks an incredible group of seniors for their contributions to this successful season. THE VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY TEAM had a tremendous season,

making it to the final 8 of the state tournament before suffering a loss to the eventual state champion. Lauren Kohler ’15 and Sarah Boyk ’16 led the team in goals with KayLou Stoddard ’15 holding her ground and setting her teammates up in the middle. Sarah Boyk ’16 was one of 11 players to win First Team All Ohio Honors, and Lauren Kohler ’15 was selected as a BCSN All Around All Star and was featured on BCSN. Coach Terri Herrmann praised the entire team for their cohesiveness and effort.

/ CURRENT FALL PLAY / “ON MY FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE at the University of Arizona, I was walking past the college theatre with my best friend from high school, Diana Dexter. There, on the marquee, was an announcement for the first production of the season, ANTIGONE. I commented that I had never heard of the play, Anti-gone. Diana first corrected my pronunciation, and then launched into a complete synopsis of the play and made Greek Tragedy sound better than an ABC Movie of the Week. I have been waiting for the opportunity to stage this play ever since,” said Kevin Hayes, Maumee Valley’s Director of Theatre. ISMENE, EURYDICE, ERON, HAEMON, AND ANTIGONE

ANTIGONE

While the nature of a Greek Tragedy is dark in tone, Maumee Valley is the perfect venue for such a challenging and rewarding production. The phrase, “Greek Chorus,” is heard in news reports, at sporting events, and in movie reviews. When does one get an opportunity to see it in action or to be a part of it onstage? November 21-23 the Maumee Valley Theatre Program presented, ANTIGONE, on the Millennium Theatre stage! ANTIGONE, is the story of a strong willed young woman who defies the King in order to honor her brother by burying his body and releasing his soul to the underworld. Antigone, played by Deena Zucker ‘15, will not submit to the law that King Creon, played by Jude Furlong ‘18, has proclaimed, marking Antigone’s brother as a traitor. The debate over Creon’s cruel justice soon involves Creon’s son, Haimon, played by Alex Evans ‘18, his wife, Euridyce, played by Aloisa Britton ‘17, and the blind prophet, Teiresas, played by Oliver Yin ‘17. Will King Creon temper his anger before it is too late and he loses everything that is dear to him?

CHORUS OF THE THEBAN CITIZENS

ANTIGONE was written in the fourth century BC and has had many revivals and revisions over the centuries. Whenever a government is too strict or an invading army too cruel, a new version of ANTIGONE seems to be produced as a political statement. The German occupation of Paris sparked Jean Anouilh’s famous French adaptation of the tale, unrest in Ireland, and the turbulent ‘60s saw several versions of this ancient myth of right versus might. The cast drew from the High School, the Middle School, and the Lower School. Twelve young women served as the Chorus of Theban citizens and nine other students played the roles of guards and servants to the king. Stage managers included, Neema Kamala ’15, Grace Zhang ’18, Harry Zhang ’18, and Ben Wielgopolski ’18. Kimmie Goeway ’18 served as the production’s Assistant Director, a role new to the Maumee Valley Department of Theatre.

TEIRESAS AND HIS GUIDES

PHILANTHROPY

ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, Maumee Valley began its 130th year with record opening day enrollment of 502 students. The Upper School has 40 international students representing nine countries. The Dayal House is home to 27 of these students, plus one domestic boarder, putting us at full capacity two years ahead of schedule. With committed faculty who are devoted to their students, Maumee Valley Country Day School continues to be the school of choice in Northwest Ohio. It’s been an ordinary year at Maumee Valley. Of course, a normal year at MVCDS means our students accomplished extraordinary things, including: • defending a Quiz Bowl title for the third straight year • winning Ohio’s Middle School Verizon App Challenge • working with the City of Toledo on economic development issues • performing the iconic musical, Hairspray to a sold out crowd three days in a row • participating in authentic cancer research at the University of Toledo Medical Center • representing the Toledo area in NYC for the National Shakespeare Competition • and earning 2014 college acceptances to an outstanding list of schools including Yale, Johns Hopkins, Wellesley, University of Southern California, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and Washington University in St. Louis, to name just a few… During our recently ended fiscal year, these achievements were made possible through the generosity of more than 750 parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, foundations, faculty, staff, and friends of Maumee Valley. Your support of the annual fund and our MV Monopoly auction allowed the school to exceed its fundraising goals. The successful MV Monopoly volunteer team magically transformed the school’s South Parking Lot into a full-sized game board replica, right down to a jail cell. Sponsors, volunteers, and guests included alumni from 1946 to 2013, current parents, alumni parents, and community friends. The MVCDS community shares a commitment to provide Northwest Ohio children the absolute best educational opportunity available in the region. The Board of Trustees shares a commitment to securing the school’s future through visionary planning and proper stewardship of today’s resources and support. The faculty and staff live a commitment to provide a world-class learning experience to our students. On behalf of all these groups, I offer sincere thanks for your generosity and continued support of our beloved Maumee Valley Country Day School. Go Hawks!

PORTRAIT OF A MAUMEE VALLEY GRADUATE

MAUMEE VALLEY HAS EMBRACED A BOLD VISION THAT PREPARES OUR STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE BY RETURNING TO OUR SCHOOL’S ROOTS.

MV2020: IMAGINE THE FUTURE written by Gareth Griffith

As educators we love our students for the wonderful children they are today, but we find inspiration and meaning in our work as we imagine the contributions they will make to their world and throughout their adulthood. Our job is to launch them into an unknown future equipped to be enlightened, compassionate, contributing citizens of our global community. Maumee Valley has a proven tradition of anticipating the needs of our students and innovating to best accomplish our mission. As the world changed over the past 130 years, Maumee Valley remained on the leading edge. We adapted in 1884 when we moved from Batavia, New York to Toledo. We adapted in 1934 when we moved to Reynolds Road and became a co-educational country day school. We adapted again in the 1960s and ‘70s when we became a racially integrated school. We adapted when we built the Lower School open classroom design and when we began the Winterim program, with its experiential immersion focus. We adapted when we opened a residence hall, and we adapted when we introduced online learning for our students.

/ THE FEATURE STORY / The reason we’ve adapted, of course, is to ensure that the education we offer remains relevant to the needs of our students and provides them with a platform for success. One does not have to be a teacher to notice that the world our students experience today, and will inhabit in the future, is different from the world we adults grew up in. The computing power students hold in their hands every day far exceeds what fit into an entire roomful of computers a short 40 years ago. The college admissions process is radically more competitive, and colleges more expensive, than when we went to school. And the rate of change is exponential. We are now facing another key moment in our school’s history. A clear vision of what our students will need in the future is necessary. We know that some skills remain timeless. For instance, the capacity to communicate well will always be essential. The mediums may change, but the ability to write and speak fluently and powerfully will remain valuable. However, as the capacity to transmit information increases and nearly all businesses are integrally connected to a global economy, other skills will rise in value. People who can work collaboratively with people across the globe will have an advantage. Innovators who can analyze complex situations and design creative solutions will be in demand. And compassionate people of high character will be able to navigate the unforeseen ethical dilemmas that will face humanity in the next 100 years. These big skills will be critical for our students as they enter the workplace and adult life. In their immediate future, however, a certainty is that colleges are increasingly selective and looking for interesting and accomplished applicants. For example, a Harvard University admissions officer readily admitted to a group of college counselors recently that beyond grades Harvard is looking for students who have “demonstrated excellence” and who have the “intangibles,” such as creativity, leadership, persistence, and innovative risk-taking. Our MV2020 vision of the future grows out of our past and makes a clarion call for a Maumee Valley education to rest on three essential pillars: a MVCDS education is personal, experiential, and global. Personal We recognize that we can use our strengths to make sure that a high quality MVCDS education remains relevant and continues to successfully prepare students for their futures. Currently, for example, students in our small classes get to know their teachers and their peers. Because the relationships are so close, students are known as individuals and are often able to find ways to learn that make learning personal and meaningful. Students who follow their

HARVARD IS LOOKING FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE “DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE” AND WHO HAVE THE “INTANGIBLES,” SUCH AS CREATIVITY, LEADERSHIP, PERSISTENCE, AND INNOVATIVE RISKTAKING.

/ THE FEATURE STORY / interests, who spend time to become experts, who pursue their passions, or who simply undertake a variety of experiences, will stand out and be the interesting individuals that colleges desire. When fully realized, our vision will create personalized learning paths for our students that will provide opportunity, guidance, and support to pursue their interests. Already mentors, in the future our teachers will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;curators of learning,â&#x20AC;? guiding students on a personal journey during which they acquire the foundations of a Maumee Valley education that we describe in a portrait of a Maumee Valley graduate. Experiential We know that for many alumni their fondest and most indelible Maumee Valley memories arise from a classroom experience-- a field trip, a project, or an overnight trip. This should surprise no one-- we remember much more when we are actively engaged in our learning. For over 40 years Winterim has been a mainstay in the Upper School and class trips and field trips a part of the Lower and Middle School programs. These hands-on, out-in-the-world experiences allow students to learn by doing. Often these experiences ask students to explore issues and solve problems, to think across disciplines and synthesize understanding, and to work in teams. All of these are critical skills to develop, and the personal narratives that students develop as a result of these experiences enrich their lives and their futures.

WHEN FULLY REALIZED, OUR VISION WILL CREATE PERSONALIZED LEARNING PATHS THAT WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY, GUIDANCE, AND SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO PURSUE THEIR INTERESTS.

Our faculty is currently engaged in professional development aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of these experiences. Teachers are exploring ways to teach the core content and skills of the curriculum through a discovery approach using open-ended questions and welldesigned activities. These experience-based lessons will not replace the need for lectures, class discussions, or good story-telling, but the classroom of the future will increasingly engage students in hands-on, collaborative problem-solving and learning. Global Toledo is an international seaport, and the diversity of the student body and our families reflects the diversity of our city and our connections to a broader, global community. The inclusion of international students in our student body, curricular explorations of different cultures, and opportunities to travel beyond Toledo also help expose our students to a global and interconnected world. Our vision challenges us to expand our footprint and to give our students even more practice navigating and understanding our world. Organization of Time: The Schedule Spurred by the future needs of our students, the MV2020 Vision has helped us recognize that we can organize time more efficiently to help accomplish our goals. To that end, each division has adopted new daily schedules that we plan to implement for the 2015-16 school year. One

/ THE FEATURE STORY / common characteristic of the new schedule in each division of the school is an emphasis on more frequent Winterim-like intensive experiences. For those of you familiar with Winterim, you know the strengths of the Winterim intensive experiences are the ability to engage in focused work, the close ties you develop with classmates and teachers, the opportunity to be independent, the unique quality of the process oriented and experiential learning, and the chance to get out into the world. Often students and teachers alike point to Winterim as the most meaningful learning that occurs throughout the year. So, in the new schedule each division will highlight three intensive periods throughout the school year. In the Lower School, the Upper Intermediate team is so anxious to get started that they are piloting new intensive learning experiences this year. Already, the fifth and sixth graders have engaged in two interdisciplinary intensive units. The first intensive combined science and language arts in the study of biomes, and in the second, students became archaeologists to study culture as part of an integrated social studies unit. The Lower Intermediate is currently adding science and engineering to turn their Westward Movement unit into a prototype of an interdisciplinary intensive. Teachers have stated that the collaborative planning required by the intensive structure helps them immerse their students in extended learning activities that provide deeper understanding of key concepts and skills connected to the unit.

OFTEN THESE EXPERIENCES ASK STUDENTS TO EXPLORE ISSUES AND SOLVE PROBLEMS, TO THINK ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND SYNTHESIZE UNDERSTANDING, AND TO WORK IN TEAMS.

Intensive studies, such as those that are in the planning stages in the Lower School, enable the development of curriculum that deals with real world issues. When students are challenged to answer real questions that have importance and relevance, their engagement and enthusiasm grows. These studies lead to big questions such as why do people and cultures migrate, how does flight work, how does the natural world influence the development of societies and city planning, and how do economies function? In the hands of master teachers these types of questions invite engagement with experts outside the classroom and create the need for collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving-all essential skills for our students. The Middle School team is known for its adaptability and creativity. For example, each winter when students from our sister school in Ecuador visit the MS, the division runs a very intentional schedule to maximize the cultural studies and global connections that are uniquely available during that two week period. The MS is excited about continuing to enhance the global connections with our sister school in the future. In addition, the MS will address real world problems while focusing on themes of leadership, service learning, global water issues, and government during these intensive periods. Teacher teams will guide students to build research, writing, and collaboration skills through an interdisciplinary approach. Upper School Winterims have allowed students in the recent past to discover and name new organisms in a bio-sciences lab, work in a cancer

With each of these experiences students develop interests and find interesting stories to share with colleges.

When we offer three intensive periods each year, imagine the opportunities that will exist for students. Imagine earning world language graduation credit by spending an intensive abroad in Latin America. Imagine the ability to return to the same bio-chemistry lab for multiple intensive periods building a longitudinal understanding of scientific research. Imagine students studying photography on campus and then traveling during an intensive to build a portfolio worthy of a professional photojournalist. Imagine the impact of spending two intensives drafting and revising a short story and getting it published. Imagine the benefit to the community of students studying economics and public policy and then spending an intensive working with civic and business leaders to influence economic growth of our neighborhood. Or imagine the high impact learning made possible by studying environmental science by conducting field research on the annual algae bloom in Maumee Bay. The redesigned schedules include other features as well. For instance, each division’s schedule includes advisory time to nurture and coach students. And each division’s schedule offers longer class periods to allow for more process-oriented and experiential learning to occur throughout the year. The expansion of intensive offerings in all divisions serves as a signature Maumee Valley innovation and a symbol of the MV2020 Vision. If Winterims of the past have been life-changing experiences for Upper School students, then intensives of the future are sure to significantly impact many more students in all divisions of the school. Born out of the Winterim tradition, these life-changing experiences will be what continue to make a Maumee Valley education unique and distinctive. Even as we work to realize our vision for the future we recognize and pay respect to those visionary and bold educators who preceded us. From our earliest beginnings as a girls’ finishing school to the present, our school has embraced the challenges of the times and charted innovative and bold programming, all with one simple mantra to guide us—the best interest of our students.

/ ALUMNI MAUMEE VALLEY MEMORIES / RAYMOND KRESSMANN, WHO ATTENDED MVCDS FOR FIVE YEARS (GRADES 4-8) BEFORE RETURNING TO FRANCE IN 1946 RECALLED A FEW OF HIS FAVORITE EXPERIENCES IN AN ESSAY. BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM HIS COLLECTION OF MEMORIES.

“AN UNFORGETTABLE LESSON” Mr. Hugh Coryell taught the 5th and 6th grades in a combined class. He was by far the best teacher I ever had. Mr. Coryell, as I remember him, was a rather heavy-set man with wavy dark hair. He always looked at you through round horn-rimmed glasses. His most distinguishing feature was his triple forehead which stood way out above his eyebrows and gave the impression that he was always wearing a pointed cap. I looked at a picture of Mr. Coryell recently and he does not appear to quite fit this description. My memory is what counts here. The first day of class, Mr. Coryell told us to get a copy of the Rand McNally Automobile Atlas of the United States. It still exists, I think, in spite of GPS. The Atlas has a page-sized road map for each state, and each map has the roads, the towns, the cities, and the distances between towns. It also, most importantly, has, in small red writing, the location of natural sites and historical points of interest. Our assignment over the year, Mr. Coryell told us, was to plan trips, not to exceed 350 miles per day. We were to visit one state at a time and be prepared to talk to the class about the points of interest along the way. We could get extra credit if we drew maps

HAPPY 130TH BIRTHDAY MAUMEE VALLEY! “OF ALL THE SCHOOLS I ATTENDED, MAUMEE VALLEY COUNTRY DAY GAVE ME THE BEST AND MOST VALUABLE EDUCATION.” - RAYMOND KRESSMANN ‘50

of our itinerary. This was right up my alley. I love maps. When I downsized from a house to a townhouse I still had literally a trunk full of old out-ofdate maps to get rid of. My office walls are covered with maps. Planning these trips was great fun. I think I had stops at all the Revolutionary and Civil War Battlefields. I remember describing for the class the Battle of Saratoga and the Battle of Fredericksburg. In essence, each of us was empowered to choose his or her own version of geography and history. We learned the rest of geography and history from the presentations by fellow students. Mr. Coryell’s guidance was very subtle. He would ask a few pertinent questions during our presentations, such as why we chose a particular event, but he never gave advice on where to go, or where to stop on the trips we planned - or at least never gave me any.

/ ALUMNI MAUMEE VALLEY MEMORIES / “MY BEST DAY OF SCHOOL EVER” Mr. Coryell was a master at handling the unexpected. Two or three weeks into the 5th grade, when I had just turned ten, I came to school not having read a book for Book Report Period. I had noticed that only three students out of 25 had been called on the previous week and I figured that my chances of escaping were pretty good. I had full confidence in my statistics and had no plan B, such as in a pinch reporting on a book that I had read that summer. The very first name Mr. Coryell called was mine. I was caught. My whole flimsy house of cards collapsed. Red-faced, I had to admit that I had not read any book for Book Report. I braced myself for the lightning and thunder that was sure to follow, but none did. Instead, Mr. Coryell, not missing a beat, turned the class over to one of the 6th graders, and rushed out of the room. “Criminy,” I thought, “He is going to call home. If he gets my grandmother, my goose is cooked. I will be grounded for years.” I tried to look calm but squirmed uncomfortably in my seat, my heart beating faster and faster. A few minutes later Mr. Coryell popped back in the room and did not even close the door. He held a big blue book in his hand, showed it to me and asked: “Have you read this?” I looked at the title “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” “No, I haven’t read this.” “Good, then follow me.”

leave until disturbed again by the bustle of students changing classes.

He led me out of the classroom and to an armchair in the hallway across from the front office and told me to sit down. He handed me the book and said: “You can get up to go to the bathroom and to have lunch, but otherwise you are to sit on this chair until you have finished reading this book,” and he went back to the classroom.

By late afternoon I finished reading the last page. I stayed in the armchair for a while, then got up, picked up my book, opened the classroom door as quietly as possible, and sat down discreetly at my assigned seat. I was still in limbo, somewhere between Hannibal, MO of 1880 and Maumee Valley of 1942. I did not return to this century until the end of class bell rang.

I bit my lower lip lightly, opened the book, and started serving my penance. Wow! Within two or three pages I was hooked. I was now in Mark Twain’s Hannibal, MO with Tom Sawyer and his friends. What a treat that was. For hours, I was completely lost in this world, only returning during the comings and goings in the halls between classes. As they passed by students would look at me, wondering what I was doing in that chair usually reserved for guests waiting to visit the Headmaster. One 9th grader I knew actually stopped and asked me: “Why are you in this chair?”

The punishment for not doing my homework had been to spend a day with Tom Sawyer and his friends. So, in the end, what had started as a potential disaster, had turned out to be a most memorable day, and one that could never happen again. I did not need to be told that Mr. Coryell would not let me off so easily a next time.

“I can’t leave the chair until I finish this book.” “What book?” I showed him the book. “Oh, Tom Sawyer…great book, you will like it.” As soon as the in-between class commotions were over and quiet returned, I went back to Tom, Becky, and Injun Joe and did not

/ ALUMNI IN MEMORIAM /

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO ARE The Maumee Valley Country Day School community is saddened with the death of MARY T. WOLFE on October 23, 2014. Mary was a Maumee Valley parent, faculty supporter, occasional art history lecturer and, with her husband, Frederic (Fritz), a longtime and generous supporter of the arts at Maumee Valley Country Day School and around the region. Fritz ‘47, along with two of their three children Frederica (Freddie) ‘76 and Christine Wolfe Nichols ‘80, all attended Maumee Valley. Mary served as a school trustee from 1976-1982, and was an active parent at MVCDS when her children were attending.

Gary Boehm, Head of School, said that “Maumee Valley has lost a great friend in Mary Wolfe. Her love of the arts and her support of the faculty has transformed our campus and changed lives.”

In the late 1980s, Mary and Fritz gave a leadership gift to the School for the renovation of an existing building that served as the high school art room into an art gallery that bears their name and the blue stone area. The Wolfe Gallery was created to serve as a facility that benefits current students, alumni, and the greater Toledo region. The Wolfe Gallery has MARY T. WOLFE

hosted more than 140 art exhibits showcasing MV students, alumni, friends, and the Northwest Ohio community. Every June, the Maumee Valley community holds its graduation ceremony on the blue stone plaza. The graduates line up on the gallery steps with the Wolfe Gallery’s four pillars behind them, strong and solid.

“SHE WAS VERY ANIMATED AND MADE THE ART WORKS COME ALIVE” -CHRISTINE WOLFE NICHOLS

The Wolfes also provided a significant donation in the recent Under One Roof Campaign, to transform the Maumee Valley campus with a new Upper School and connector to truly bring all the school’s divisions under one roof. “Through the The Toledo Museum of Art’s Wolfe Gallery, Wolfe Center for the Performing Arts at BGSU, Wolfe Hall at the University of Toledo, and their support of Maumee Valley Country Day School, Mary and Fritz have left a significant philanthropic legacy in Northwest Ohio,” said Mr. Boehm.

/ ALUMNI IN MEMORIAM /

N O LO N G E R W I T H U S . . . Mary believed “to inspire students, teachers must be inspired,” and so Mary and Fritz created the Wolfe Dream Odyssey, an endowed fund that provides support to faculty to pursue their dreams. The hope is that faculty and staff will return to share their excitement and experience of their dreams with the students, colleagues, and friends thus enriching the entire Maumee Valley community. To date, forty Maumee Valley faculty members have benefited from the Wolfes’ generosity. “There was always a strong educational component of whatever they were supporting.” daughter Christine ‘80 said.
