ACCREDITATION STATEMENT Norfolk Collegiate is a pre-K-12 independent school accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools and AdvancED-SACS. Norfolk Collegiate admits qualified students without regard to race, religion, color, nationality, origin, age, sex or disability.

DISCLAIMER STATEMENT The philanthropy report recognizes gifts made to the school between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017. Every effort has been made to compile as accurate a report of donors as possible. If you discover an error or omission, please accept our apologies and bring it to our attention.

Poised for the future and beyond Dear Norfolk Collegiate, Since our founding in 1948, we have committed ourselves to bringing out the best in our students. The 2016-17 school year was no different. We were able to deliver an excellent education and an even better experience to our Oaks.

On the eve of our 70th anniversary we unveiled a new look, vision, mission and five-year strategic plan for Norfolk Collegiate that will lead us smoothly into 2021. With your assistance, we focused on our collective aspirations for our students and our school for the upcoming years.

We have intentionally crafted an instructional program that incorporates innovative thinking and the best of current research in education. Looking back on the past year, our faculty and staff exceeded our professional development expectations and were able to offer engaging, innovative instruction incorporating the most up-to-date, research-based practices. We supplemented our expanding programs and enriched our students’ learning through the inclusion of our MakerLabs and Outdoor Learning Lab and graduated our inaugural class of AP Capstone™ scholars − the first in Hampton Roads.

Our parents, grandparents and donors continued to support Collegiate generously throughout the year. Without your support, we would not be able to offer so many exciting opportunities to our students.

These are just a few of a long list of accomplishments we are excited to share with you as we look back on 2016-17. As we continue to execute our strategic plan, our community will continue to benefit. We are pleased to present this year in review and annual philanthropy magazine, which includes details on our exciting innovations this past year.

We look forward to learning and celebrating with you in 2018.

Sincerely,

Scott G. Kennedy Headmaster

CONTINENTAL MATH LEAGUE Norfolk Collegiate’s fifth-grade students took first place in the Continental Mathematics League Competition for the fifth consecutive year. Collegiate was one of only four schools out of hundreds nationwide to receive the recognition. The national math tournament merges math concepts with problem solving and reasoning skills by giving students 30 minutes to compete against students from schools nationwide. Additionally, six Oaks earned perfect scores for their individual work in the competition: Chailea Harvey ’24 Tony Kremenchugskiy ’24 Emma McMonagle ’24 Camille Porter ’24 Evan Skroch ’24 Andrew Smith ’24 THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

SPELLING BEES Our fifth-grade students took to the Hackney Theater stage to compete in their grade’s annual spelling bee. The competition was intense; students sped through 195 of the 200 words before a winner was declared with the word “udon.”

Evan Skroch ’24 took home first place, Camille Porter ’24 earned second place, and Adam Siebert ’24 took home third place.

Fourth-grade students proved their spelling prowess in their spelling bee. It took 26 students 26 rounds — a testament to their education and love for words — before the winner was declared.

Our acorns went through 181 words before Javiar Love ’25 was declared the winner.

Classmate Evan Wallach ’25 took home second place, and Carmen Gaskin ’25 took home third place.

Norfolk Collegiate’s Spainhour Family Library was hopping as the third-grade students took to the stage for their spelling bee in the spring. Students went a whopping 40 rounds and 200 words before progressing to the challenge words. In the end, Alexa Butler ’26 correctly spelled the winning word, “portions,” which was a fourth-grade level word. Carter Kaplan ’26 took home second-place and David Sawyer ’26 took home third-place.

STUDENTS JAM IN GAMING COMPETITION Students Kenneth Hargrove ’18, Laura Marin ’17, Max Golovsky ’19 and Kadin Benjamin ’18 took on area gamers in a two-day competition during PixelFest 2.0, Norfolk’s dedicated gaming festival, April 7-9, 2017.

The event’s creators, Jeremy Alessi and Henry Meredith ’11 of local development company Midnight Status, teach Introduction to Computer Programming at Norfolk Collegiate. The students were the only high school team in the competition, called Game Jam, which challenged teams to create a complete video game from start to finish in two days. They were partnered with a mentor, who was able to assist the teams with components. In addition to the Game Jam competition, Max and Kadin assisted in teaching Unity, a development platform they learned in our programming class, as well as helping with PixelFest activities.

FRIENDS OF THE NORFOLK PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOK REVIEW CONTEST Jordan Laster ’19 was awarded second-place honors in the Friends of the Norfolk Collegiate Public Library 2017 Book Review Contest. Each year, the contest receives public and private school submissions from students in grades four through 12, as well as home-schooled students. There were 1,685 entries.

NEW SCHEDULE Norfolk Collegiate unveiled our strategic plan at the beginning of the year. As part of the academic innovation initiative, middle and upper school students tested a “drop-two schedule” for one week in December.

The schedule allows more time for inquiry and project-based learning. It also provides students with a less hectic schedule with five classes per day over a seven-day rotation as opposed to a seven bell per day schedule. The schedule was implemented for the 2017-18 school year.

Sarah Smallets ’17 explains her independent research project during the AP Capstone™ reception on May 24, 2017. Sarah investigated safe alternatives to synthetic pesticides in treating plants for the Cabbage Looper.

AP CAPSTONE™ Coastal Virginia’s inaugural class of AP Capstone™ Diploma candidates graduated from Norfolk Collegiate on May 26, 2017. The AP Capstone™ Diploma program was introduced by the College Board to engage high school students in collegelevel independent research, communication and teamwork. The program is built on two foundational courses, AP Seminar and AP Research, that emphasize inquiry-based independent research, collaboration, and communication as students investigate contemporary issues and problems from multiple perspectives. Students who successfully complete written theses and oral presentations and defenses of their research receive either the AP Capstone Diploma™ or the AP Seminar and Research Certificate™. Here is a look at what our inaugural class of AP CapstoneTM students delved into for their independent research projects: TRAFTON ADDISON ’17 identified energy usage issues caused by a one-to-one iPad program and sought to mitigate the excessive energy 14

consumption through a redesigned solar-powered iPad charger.

AUSTIN BEALE ’17 performed a case study on The TIDE light rail system to determine the economic and social impacts of the transit system.

CAMERON BROWN ’17 investigated concussions in female youth soccer players to design an improved protective headgear.

MADISON COAKLEY ’17 analyzed data gathered during the first 10 months of the Fruits N’ Veggies campaign in Hampton Roads to determine the program’s efficacy.

GRANT CAMPION ’17 surveyed historic homeowners in West Freemason to determine retrofitting history, opinions about the financial impact of retrofits, use and knowledge of tax incentives and opinions about how all levels of government provide information to citizens about THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

THE QUEST FRAMEWORK In the program students evaluate multiple points of view to develop their own perspectives on complex issues and topics through inquiry and investigation.

AP Capstone™ is built on the “QUEST” framework to develop, practice and hone students’ critical and creative thinking skills as they make connections among various issues and their own lives:

QUESTION & EXPLORE Questioning begins with an initial exploration of complex topics or issues. Perspectives and questions emerge that spark one’s curiosity, leading to an investigation that challenges and expands the boundaries of one’s current knowledge.

UNDERSTAND & ANALYZE ARGUMENTS Understanding various perspectives requires contextualizing arguments and evaluating the authors’ claims and lines of reasoning.

EVALUATE MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES Evaluating an issue involves considering and evaluating multiple perspectives, both individually and in comparison to one another.

SYNTHESIZE IDEAS Synthesizing others’ ideas with one’s own curiosity may lead to new understandings and is the foundation of a well-reasoned argument that conveys one’s perspective.

TEAM, TRANSFORM & TRANSMIT Teaming allows one to combine personal strengths and talents with those of others to reach a common goal.

Transformation and growth occur upon thoughtful reflection. Transmitting requires the adaptation of one’s message based on audience and context.

ach year, our seniors are challenged to turn their passions into their senior projects. Each student takes a unique approach: some work toward personal growth while others take on charitable pursuits. These projects take our students beyond the classroom to a creative space of their own imagining. Below are snippets from the lives of senior projects—and what motivates our students.

SARAH SMALLETS TREEHOUSE MURAL ON THE WATT-BAKER WALLS “My senior schedule didn’t allow me to take any art classes, but I didn’t want that to stop me from painting and practicing those skills. I decided to paint the tree in the gym. The white walls needed a little excitement to match [that of] the student section and bringing art into an athletic facility symbolizes that at Collegiate, a student can be a star basketball player and the lead in the musical. We have equal celebration of arts and athletics, and I really wanted to convey that message through this piece.”

MADISON DOYLE & GRACE ANN LETZINGER TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK GOODIES “I wanted to do this project because I’ve been at this school for 13 years and have seen how hard the teachers work for the students,” Madison said. “I wanted to make sure they feel appreciated by the students our senior year.

The best part was being able to go out of my comfort zone. We had to present in front of an assembly.

Also, all the kind words from the teachers meant a lot.”

THOMAS BATZEL, GRANT CAMPION & TREVOR ROGERS SPECIAL OLYMPICS POLAR PLUNGE These seniors took on the Polar Plunge. Joined by 25 fellow Oaks, these brave students took a dip in the 44 degree Atlantic Ocean on a balmy 32 degree day. The event is held annually to raise money for the Special Olympics. Each Oak had to raise $100 to participate, with the group raising $4,400.

“I’m freezing cold, but I’m out here, and we’re doing this,” Trevor said. “It’s terrible, but it’s done. I barely survived, but it was fun.”

MELANIE GOOSSENS PROJECT LIFT-UP WITH CHKD “I wanted to work with a children’s hospital because I love kids and wanted to help them as much as I can. It’s crazy to think putting jars in all the advisories in the upper school could have such an impact on the children’s lives at the hospital. … The money went to a kids-only space where patients can play with other patients without worrying about getting poked or prodded or getting their temperatures taken. There were board games, cards and books for the children to play with.

It was such an incredible experience.”

SENIOR PROJECT BY STUDENT

FRANCIS BOYER & REBECCA KOLB POTTERY FOR PETS “We both really love animals and pottery, so we decided to combine the two! We had both taken pottery courses at school, and Mrs. Wright came up with the idea that we make pet bowls on the wheel. It ended up being a great success; we raised over $400 at Fall Fair, and we sold out of our bowls,” Francis said. “The biggest challenge we encountered was time management. It ended up being a lot more work than we anticipated, but once we got a good rhythm and started working together efficiently, things got much better.”

HANNAH GARCIA EXTREME COUPONING CHALLENGE “I went on three trips to Target, spending $25 per trip, and bought $50 worth of food and supplies each time. I used the Target Cartwheel and Flipp apps to utilize manufacturer’s deals and specials. I also used Ibotta, which allows you to scan receipts and get money back. I was initially inspired by watching TLC’s ‘Extreme Couponing’ and seeing how much food the couponers had ‘stockpiled.’ It seemed too excessive. Over the summer I volunteered at a small, rural food pantry and observed how much food pantries really are in need of high quality food donations. I donated all of the food I purchased to the Foodbank and cleaning supplies to ForKids.”

THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

The arts continued to blossom as students brought their energies and talents to the lower school auditorium and Hackney Theater stage. Guest speakers added to the line-up of engaging arts offerings with the humanities speaker series, and our students were honored for their art regionally and across Virginia. Here are a few of the highlights: THE BETTY M. AND WILLIAM B. JONES HUMANITIES SPEAKER SERIES The Betty M. and William B. Jones Humanities Speaker Series celebrated its third year exploring the arts, history and literature and their impact on the human experience. The series, established by former faculty member Betty Jones and her husband, was inspired by a Civil War lecture series hosted by Norfolk Collegiate in the fall of 2013.

• It kicked off with a special presentation by artist Brian Bress ’93. “An Afternoon with Brian Bress” highlighted the evolution of his work over the past 10 years.

• The second presentation featured four distinguished panelists who discussed “The Changing Role of Political Parties in the Lives of American Citizens.” Panelists included: Dr. Leslie Caughell, Virginia Wesleyan University assistant professor of political science Dr. Jesse Richman, Old Dominion University associate professor of political science & international studies Dr. Antje Schwennicke, Virginia Wesleyan University assistant professor of political science Dr. G. William Whitehurst, Old Dominion University Kaufman lecturer for public affairs and former U.S. Congressman • The series concluded with “Plain Janes and Rebellious Catherines: Female Identity and the Brontës' Legacy,” by ODU professor of English Dr. Manuela Mourão. She discussed the representation of female identity in iconic works of the Brontë sisters and how they continue to influence our notions of feminine.

IN THE GALLERY The NASA Langley Research center turned 100 in 2017, and to commemorate the centennial, Langley hosted the Centennial Art Contest. Students from across the nation were encouraged to submit designs

that found inspiration in the theme, “A storied past, a soaring future.” Cameron Somers ’22 and Graham Fitzwater ’22 received national honors for their artwork, which was on display for the entirety of the last session of the State Legislature in the General Assembly building. Emily Skroch ’21 and Christian James ’23 also were selected to have their artwork on display at the General Assembly in Richmond.

ON THE STAGE Throughout the year, students performed in several plays held in the Hackney Theater and the lower school auditorium. The productions included: “Almost, Maine” “Pirates! The Musical” “Arf!” “How Does Your Garden Grow?”

“Legally Blonde: The Musical” “Shrek Jr.: The Musical” Middle and upper school band, strings and chorus concerts HITTING HIGH NOTES Students Kai Bartol ’20 and Dylan Rowell ’21 participated in the Hampton Roads Youth Wind Ensemble 2016 concert at Old Dominion University.

To join the ensemble, students had to audition with other young musicians across Hampton Roads and have a teacher recommendation. Once accepted, they performed pieces ranging from orchestral arrangements, American patriotic music and marches, to musicals and songs from “Star Wars.”

Students Mitchell Maguire ’19, Parker Purrington ’19 and Haley Bartel ’18 were selected to perform at the 2017 All-District Chorus event in the spring.

Mitchell (Tenor II) and Parker (Bass I) performed with the mixed chorus and Haley (Alto I) performed with the women’s chorus.

POETRY OUT LOUD Collegiate’s second year participating in Poetry Out Loud saw two students advance to the regional competition. Poetry Out Loud is a national oratory contest that encourages high school students to learn about poetry through memorization and recitation. Students Cecilia Innis ’18 and Taylor Dews ’18 placed first and second, respectively, at the regional competition. Both students advanced to the state-level competition.

THEARTS Brandon Willis ’25 plays “King of the High Cs” during the fourth and fifthgrade’s musical, “Pirates.”

DEBBIE MEADOWS Beloved teacher, coach retires after 30 years Since 1982, Debbie Meadows has delighted the Norfolk Collegiate community with her incredibly organized nature, infectious spirit and delicious brownies.

After 35 years of teaching lower school physical education and coaching girls tennis and cheerleading, Debbie retired.

Q | Of the many things you taught, what was your favorite subject?

I’ve loved every hat I’ve gotten to wear. I loved teaching at the lower school for the variety and to see their sunny faces. I also loved teaching fitness and line dancing.

The kids always had a blast!

Q | Everyone knows Larry Maddox has always been your partner in crime. How did you guys create such a great, dynamic duo?

I just adore Larry Maddox. We had a great partnership. We put programs together we 30

were always so proud of. We created the lower school PE curriculum together, and we were really proud of what we created. When I’d teach hockey, he’d teach flag football, and then we’d swap kids. Our teaching styles always complemented each other well, so the kids got a great, holistic approach to physical fitness.

Q|

Why did you decide to stay at Collegiate as long as you did?

It’s the most nurturing place. Everyone becomes your friend, and not just your friend at work; you get to know and love THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

is truly one of a kind. “ She Kids love her, and teachers love working with her. And it doesn’t hurt that she’s as organized as the day is long.

All of her events ran like clockwork.

“

Zena Herrod | Former Head of the Lower School

Meadows was the “ Debbie consummate professional.

Within the domain of physical education, no one displayed more enthusiasm for the subject matter. Whether teaching students a warm-up dance or the forehand volley in tennis, attention to detail was her forte. The time we spent teaching together proved to be a well-rounded, fun experience for the students, as well as her colleagues.

“

Larry Maddox | Lower School PE Teacher

day, she provided us with “ Every an organized, energetic, fun and stress-relieving outlet to play and compete with our classmates. She brought us unforgettable games like steal the bacon, crab soccer, scooter board hockey, Greek dodge ball ... We all love you (myself especially)!

“

Michelle Meadows ’08 | Daughter

you for your 35 years of “ Thank dedication and hard work you gave to Collegiate ...

Remember, ’Once an Oak, always an Oak.’

“

Mary Vail Lewis ’90 | Former Student

their family, too. Ultimately, I love kids, and I love sports.

I’ve always known I wanted to teach PE, and I found my perfect niche at Collegiate. When I was first offered a position at Collegiate, it was for lower school. I’d never taught younger students before, so I took the position and coached high school tennis, as well. I ended up falling in love with all of it. My daughter loved her time at Collegiate, as well. She was here for 13 years, so she’s a great testament to how wonderful the education is.

Q | What are your plans for retirement?

I always said I wanted to retire before I was sitting in a wheel chair, and I did just that! I’m playing tennis and going to the gym for Zumba and step aerobics classes. I’m visiting my family in northern Virginia all the time, and I love going for walks with my dog, Oakey.

Q | You made Field Day for the lower school really special. Are there any Field Day memories that stand out to you?

In 1990, Field Day was scheduled for April 18. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time, but she wasn’t due until May. On April 12, Larry and I had just wrapped up intramural sports, and at the end of the day, I put the finishing touches on the field day schedule and handed it to Larry. Lo and behold, my daughter was born the next day! I still couldn’t stop myself from going to field day.

Q | What was so special about your legendary brownies?

It was the topping — chopped walnuts, brown sugar and butter.

Debbie Meadow’s Famous Brownie Recipe • 13 x 9 inch baking pan • Duncan Hines Chewy Brownie Mix • ¾ cup brown sugar • ¾ cup chopped walnuts • 3 Tbsp. soft butter or margarine Prepare your brownies following the instructions on the box and set aside. Stir the brown sugar, chopped walnuts and butter together until the mixture is stiff. Drop bits of the mixture on top of the brownies and bake to box instructions. Enjoy!

SERVICE & PHILANTHROPY

EVOLUTION OF INSPIRING THE FUTURE AT ITS ORIGINS, PHILANTHROPY, from the Greek philanthropia, means love of mankind.

Whether you’re donating money or goods to a purpose or cause benefiting people you do not know or helping someone in need, small deeds often have the greatest impact.

One acorn sprouts a sapling. Over its lifetime, that sapling will mature into a strong oak. It will provide food and shelter to animals, create more trees, provide shade during summer heat and protection from nature’s rains.

At Norfolk Collegiate, planting the roots of philanthropy starts with our youngest Oaks.

Our students learn the value in giving back to the community. After all, one doesn’t have to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffett to make an impact. At Norfolk Collegiate, we are growing philanthropists on a smaller scale, but they are making a large impact!

WHY TEACH PHILANTHROPHY?

“

The students really enjoy it and are actually getting to interact with the environments we talk about in the classroom.

“

Dr. Catherine Thomson’s first-grade class is traveling the world. They’ve seen vast oceans, sprawling deserts and dark, deep woods … all from the lower school’s MakerLab.

Dr. Catherine Thomson First-Grade Teacher

THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

$24,800 was raised at the Annual Auction to bring virtual reality headsets to Norfolk Collegiate.

To prepare for their daily field trips, Thomson’s students sit on the floor of the MakerLab, giving themselves plenty of elbow room. They wait patiently as headsets are passed out and they flip to today’s page in their habitat sketch book.

Then, the discovery begins!

Today, students are being transported to a dark, tree-covered forest filled with ferns and other greenery. While students take in their surroundings, Thomson pinpoints a particular plant she wants the class to see. An arrow pops up in each student’s viewfinder that leads him or her to a circle drawn on the area kids need to see. Then the class talks about their findings and sketches what they found in the books.

The headsets are helping students understand different habitats and learn where a variety of animals live. “The students really enjoy it and are actually getting to interact with the environments we talk about in the classroom,” Thomson said.

First-grade students Mary Walsh McMahon ’29 and Pierce Flemmer ’29 agree. Mary Walsh loves getting to see different kinds of animals, and her favorite habitat she’s studied is the ocean. Pierce also loves getting to see so many animals, but he remembers really enjoying the sandy desert habitat.

Thank you to the many generous donors who made virtual reality a physical reality for lower school students!

INNOVATION IN ACTION Part of Norfolk Collegiate’s Strategic Plan is to devise a comprehensive professional development plan that is differentiated for individual growth and institutional needs.

Throughout the year, Norfolk Collegiate’s faculty and staff work toward this initative by dedicating time to professional development sessions. Below are a few of the sessions that were available to our K-12 faculty during those days:

• Educational Research Bureau Consultant Philippe Best worked with K-12 faculty on using data to guide curricular innovation and conducted grade-level data workshops.

• Tamara Wentworth, math specialist for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, led several training sessions for our lower school teachers on Singapore Math program.

These sessions were held in preparation for K-5 adoption of the Math in Focus curriculum for the 2017-18 academic year.

• Drew Perkins, director of professional development for Teach Thought, led workshops on inquiry-based learning, including Question Formation Technique, for lower school resource teachers and middle and upper school faculty.

THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

FACULTYSPOTLIGHT PAIGE SOLOMON

Paige Solomon, center, took AP Government students Dylan Cheek ’18, Grady Fitzwater ’18, Riley Flynn ’18 and Haley Bartel ’18 to the Chamber of Commerce’s Congressional Forum in October.

Paige Solomon is passionate about history, politics and continuing education. The social studies teacher and department chair has been burning the candle at both ends over the past three years, and her contribution to the subject is substantial.

In 2015, Solomon was awarded a Mathas Professional Development Grant with social studies teacher Jared Wilson. They partnered to participate in “Improving Historical Thinking Through Source-Based Instruction” at the Library of Congress Summer Teaching Institute.

The five-day program allowed them the opportunity to work with Library of Congress experts to develop primary-source-based teaching strategies to utilize in the classroom and share with colleagues.

A year later, Solomon and Wilson were awarded a Library of Congress “Teaching with Primary Sources” research grant. “‘Improving Historical Thinking Skills through Source-Based Instruction’ is a project where students gain a greater depth of understanding when they learn about history through the careful examination of pertinent documents instead of the glossed-over simplifications found in some textbooks,” Solomon said. “This project focuses on the creation of a body of primary source-based lessons ready for use by middle and high school teachers of world history, United States history and government.”

USING PRIMARY SOURCES Primary sources are original documents and objects that were created during the period under study. Teachers working with the Library of Congress’s collection of primary resources are able to explore the largest online collection of historical artifacts for use in the classroom, which creates engaged students who build critical-thinking skills and construct new knowledge.

It included presenting professional development sessions on “Teaching with Primary Sources” for teachers from St. Patrick’s School and Norfolk Public Schools. Solomon has created a wide array of activities ready for use and available free of charge at NorfolkCollegiate.org.

“We also are working with the Hampton Roads Naval Museum to design enrichment lessons for teachers to use with their classes either before or after their field trips,” said Solomon.

“Students benefit from the utilization of materials specifically designed to foster the growth of their analytical skills with written material and visual images,” said Solomon. “Additionally, students construct a more personal interpretation of history and gain a more meaningful understanding of the history they study.”

FACULTY EXCELLENCE

Buck Institute for Education’s instructor Kristyn Kamps leads a PBL 101 workshop with Norfolk Collegiate’s teachers.

The workshop was held in July and was made possible due to a Mathas Professional Development Grant.

Mathas Professional Development Grants The Mathas Professional Development Grants were created in 2014 when Ted and Keryn Mathas expanded their annual donation to promote faculty growth in the areas outlined in the school’s Characteristics of Professional Excellence. The Mathas Grants provide funding for professional activities that will increase our faculty’s expertise in current best practices in their disciplines, projectbased learning, technology integration and other identified areas of focus for the school. The grants also support faculty summer projects that will transform a program or area of the curriculum in a significant manner that will be replicated across the wider school community. The first Mathas Professional Development Grants were awarded in the 2014-15 school year. The following teachers were honored with the award for the 2016-17 school year: • Upper school teachers Alan Stell and Dave 48

•

Fisher researched inquiry-based learning in the STEM disciplines. Stell attended the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources in STEM Conference in Washington, D.C. Fisher attended the Curiosity, Learning and Democracy International Conference on Best Practices in the Question Formulation Technique in Boston.

They designed instructional and training materials on inquiry-based teaching in the sciences, which they infused into their classes and presented to their colleagues in November.

A second professional development grant funded the Mathas Summer Project-Based Learning Institute July 11-13. During this three-day event, 21 teachers completed the Buck Institute for Education’s (BIE) PBL 101 workshop led by BIE national faculty member Kristyn Kamps. The institute culminated in presentations of

DONORSPOTLIGHT PARENTS KYM & MARC HRISKO

“

When you believe in what you’re doing and use your imagination and initiative, you can make a difference.

Samuel Dash | Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee

The Norfolk Collegiate family prides itself on supporting each other. When one member sees an opportunity for growth, they take it. So when Kym and Marc Hrisko saw an opportunity to contribute to Collegiate, they acted.

With three children in the lower school, the Hriskos often found themselves in the auditorium for speeches, talent shows and performances. But soon, they noticed an opportunity to give back to the school.

“There were several students at the talent show who performed magic,” Kym recalled, “but it’s hard to pull a rabbit out of a hat when you’re holding a clunky microphone in one hand.”

So the Hriskos took it upon themselves to gift the lower school with a new audio-visual system equipped with headset microphones. To ensure every student was seated comfortably during performances, Kym and Marc also provided 200 padded chairs to the school.

“The most rewarding part about this experience has been watching students’ confidence grow on stage,” Marc said. “Communication is an important skill, and we’re just glad we’re able to watch these kids stretch those muscles.”

REAL ESTATE

INSURANCE

CASH

By making a gift of property—such as a residence, land or rental properties—you avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.

Life insurance may provide a charitable deduction and benefit Collegiate. One way to give is to purchase a new policy and make the school the beneficiary.

The second is to make a gift of a policy that you no longer need by designating Collegiate the policy’s owner and beneficiary. Please check with your insurance agent.

Your one-time gift is tax-deductible for the current year and can be given by check, credit card or cash.

WAYS TO

GIVE There are a many ways to give that can be efficient, more beneficial and have greater tax advantages than cash. By utilizing any of the methods described here, you may find that you can give more and save more, which is a valuable combination for everyone.

WILLS & BEQUESTS

STOCKS, BONDS & PROPERTY

Including Collegiate in your estate plan involves no loss of capital or income for you and may have benefits for your heirs. Contact your attorney, accountant, tax adviser or insurance agent first.

An alternative to cash is a gift of appreciated property, such as securities. Generally, the full fair market value of gifts of appreciated assets is deductible and taxes on capital gains are often avoided. An account transfer form is available.

PLEDGES You may make a pledge now and spread payments of your gift over time for up to five years.

We are most appreciative of their commitment to and support of our annual giving campaign. One way our Annual Fund volunteers help is the phone-a-thon, where they foster positive relationships with alumni, parents and friends of the school.

Callers also verify contact information and give updates about what is happening on campus.

AUTHOR VISITS On Nov. 8-9, 2016, children’s authors Jerry Pallotta and Roland Smith spoke to lower school students about their craft. Pallotta, who is known for his various alphabet books, shared that his love for writing was sparked by reading to his children. Smith taught students the process of writing a book with three key steps: conducting research, using a storyboard and creating a draft.

Both authors encouraged students to become writers and to write about the things they love.

THE COLLEGIATE: YEAR IN REVIEW & PHILANTHROPY REPORT

ALUMNISPOTLIGHT MARCUS MILLER

Jodi Bress Dobrinsky, Anne Claud Claywell and Marcus Miller, all Class of 1988, enjoy a few moments before Miller’s presentation to upper school students.

As a professional drummer, Marcus has recorded and released 16 albums since 2001 for Universe Soul Records. He has toured and performed worldwide with artists including Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Sheila E., Vinx, the Watts Prophets, Ashanti, Bobby Bryant Jazz Poetry Collective and Michelle Shocked. His film credits include, but are not limited to, creating music for “Love … & other 4 Letter Words,” “My Girlfriend’s Back,” “Beyond the Drum” and “Movement with Meaning.”

Marcus described how he began his college career as an economics major.

“I thought business, finance, being a financial advisor, would be my future,” he said – until he realized it was not his passion. “It made me wake up to whom I was trying to be and who I am,” Marcus said.

“

The connections you build here will last a lifetime. Stay connected and help each other out.

“

Los Angeles-based jazz percussionist, bandleader and composer Marcus Miller ’88 spoke to middle and upper school students about his journey and offered inspirational advice on May 19, 2017.

Marcus Miller composer, bandleader, jazz percussionist

As a result, he switched to studying history at Washington & Lee University, which gave him an appreciation for art and led to his passion for creating music.

“Because of music, I ended up finding a path that I didn’t know was there,” he said. “You can’t get frustrated when things don’t go your way; you have to dig deeper and overcome it,” he said. “That’s when you find out who you are.”

ALUMNI

JEFFERSONCHALLENGE Class of 2017 continues challenge with incentives The senior class took a cue from the Class of 2016 and continued its efforts not only in 100 percent class participation in the Jefferson Challenge, but also by challenging the upper school to donate to the Annual Fund.

The Jefferson Challenge is an annual senior class tradition that began in 2002 after Ken Scribner, a philanthropist from Portsmouth, donated 1,001 $2 bills to Norfolk Collegiate in honor of the Class of 2002.

The challenge soon became a Collegiate tradition for each senior class. It receives its name because Thomas Jefferson, who was known for his dedication to education, appears on the two dollar bill. The Class of 2017 encouraged the upper school student body to reach $1,000 in giving. With each donation goal the upper school reached, our faculty and staff agreed to incentives to encourage our students to donate.

In the end, the Class of 2017 was able to raise $1,580 for the Annual Fund.

Senior class officers introduced incentives that included faculty and staff when the following goals were achieved:

$1K

Science teacher Dave Fisher sang “If I were King of the Forest” and shaved his head with science teacher and Associate Director of Admissions John Bain.

$750 $500

One week of spirit dress.

Teachers created and read original poetry for their advisories.

$250 Head of the Upper School Anne Claywell ’88 highlighted her hair pink.

The Class of 1996 gathered for its 20 year reunion at O’Connor Brewing Company in October 2016

BRIAN BRESS ’93

JOHN SAWYER ’93

SAM HITCH ’12

Bress is a Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker who creates absurd, circularly narrative films driven by the circumstances of a bizarre cast of ridiculously costumed characters, often played by Bress himself. His works have been exhibited in various group shows and film festivals in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, as well as abroad.

For the past five years, John Sawyer has been selected for inclusion in the Virginia Super Lawyers listing and is listed among Virginia’s Legal Elite, as well as being named a Top Lawyer by Coastal Virginia Magazine.

Hitch is the youngest of three brothers, all of whom graduated from Norfolk Collegiate. Hitch graduated from the University of Virginia in May 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in cognitive science. He lives in New York City where he is an analyst for Hitch Towers, a telecommunications development and management company. Sam is an LEED Green Associate and holds a real estate license in New York.

In September 2016, Bress debuted new work in his first solo exhibition in London with Josh Lilley Gallery. Bress had a solo exhibit at the Chrysler Museum of Art from September 2016 to May 2017. His piece titled “Wow Mom” is now a permanent exhibit.

Sawyer joined Norfolk Collegiate’s Alumni Board in 2009 and served as Alumni Board president in 2012, spearheading initiatives like alumni giving and engagement in events.

He serves on Collegiate’s Board of Trustees and its governance and development committees. Sawyer is always eager to share his experience as an Oak and what our alumni can do for our current and future Oaks.

Hitch is a passionate endurance athlete sponsored by SaltStick and Honey Stinger. During the summer of 2016, Sam completed in TriAmerica 2016, a 3,906-mile triathlon across the United States in which he raised money for The Lustgarten Foundation.
