Letter from the Head of School BEN JACKSON, P’21, P’22, P’26 Dear Friends, The auspicious start to the 2023-2024 school year was interrupted by the tragic mass shooting in Lewiston. This shooting tested and challenged us all, directly impacting some in our community. It will take NYA and the greater Lewiston community a long time to recover, but the healing process has begun. I hope you join me in taking great comfort in how our community supported one another through this crisis. Our students provided particularly strong leadership. We will never forget this tragedy, but in the short term, the return to campus routines was important and healthy for everyone.

As an institution, we continue to focus on the present while planning for the future. The trustees, faculty, staff, and administration are pursuing strategic goals that will continue to enhance the student experience. ;OL `LHY ILNHU ^P[O ZPNUPÄJHU[ TVTLU[\T VU ZL]LYHS RL` Z[YH[LNPJ priorities.

Would ^L VUS` IL HISL [V LUYVSS Ä]L students in year two, or should we take another big leap and expand our programs and our physical space? With a strong belief in the vision for the Lower School, NYA’s trustees and administration 2014 made the decision to move ahead with an expansion project, nearly doubling our square footage and adding an additional Primary classroom, ,SLTLU[HY` JSHZZYVVT HUK V\Y ÄYZ[ ;VKKSLY JSHZZYVVT >P[O [OPZ NYV^[O Leslie Durgin assumed the role of Associate Director of Lower School and Admission and has been a tremendous support to Lower School students, families, and staff ever since.

However, early in the winter of 2013, we were approached by the owner of Meadowbrook Montessori in Freeport about the possibility of moving their school onto our campus.

The Montessori philosophy, with its focus on student-centered and hands-on learning and freedom within a structured environment, dovetailed so nicely with the values that are a part of an NYA education at any age that it seemed H UH[\YHS Ä[ *VU]LYZH[PVUZ X\PJRS` transitioned from leasing a space on our campus to integrating the program into a new Lower School KP]PZPVU H[ 5@( >L PKLU[PÄLK H 2021 space on campus, an old colonial house that was serving as a rental property, and began putting plans into motion.

After a whirlwind summer of construction, we opened in September of 2013 with 52 students in our Pre-Primary, Primary, 1-2, and 3-4 classrooms, growing to our cap of 55 students before the end of the school year. It was such a delight to celebrate the successful opening of our newest division in the same year that we celebrated NYA’s bicentennial!

2015

With each passing year, our Lower School has continued to grow. We created a stand-alone, full-day kindergarten program and grew to separate classes for grades one through four. In 2018, we added a second Toddler classroom and opened the Toddler House on campus. This past summer, ^L ILNHU [OL ÄYZ[ Z[HNL VM V\Y ÄUHS L_WHUZPVU WYVQLJ[ MVY [OL 3V^LY :JOVVS adding an additional Toddler and Primary classroom.

Looking ahead

Julia Gagnon ‘20 Still singing and more!

Julia Gagnon ‘20 has been busy since she graduated from NYA. She earned a degree in history early from Skidmore College and is currently in a pre-law program at USM, and she plans to attend law school. She lives and works in Freeport. She stopped by campus recently and caught a volleyball game (she played volleyball at NYA) where she sang the National Anthem with no preparation and seemingly no effort. The gym fell silent.

1\SPH JHTL [V 5@( HZ H ÄM[O NYHKLY HUK ^HZ ¸T\ZPJHSS` X\PL[¹ H[ ÄYZ[ said Nora Krainis, Julia’s chorus and theater director. “She refused to ZPUN \U[PS [OL LUK VM ÄM[O NYHKL ¹ YLTLTILYZ 5VYH :OHUUVU .HSSHNOLY 1\SPH»Z ÄM[O NYHKL [LHJOLY YLJHSSZ [OH[ ZOL ZOHYLK OLY PUJYLKPISL ]VPJL PU LHYULZ[ MVY [OL ÄYZ[ [PTL K\YPUN H talent show on the class schooner trip that spring. “It really was quite an amazing revelation when we heard her sing on the boat,” remembers Shannon.

She was involved in music and drama the rest of her time at NYA. “In seventh grade, Julia and senior DJ Nicholas sang a surprise duet at Awards Day because DJ didn’t want to leave NYA without the opportunity to sing with her,” recalls Nora. “Julia has a supernatural gift when it comes to interpreting a song. She gets it. She gets everything about it. And she puts all that into her delivery and stuns her audiences. Which in turn makes Julia a gift to us.”

Julia has many memories from NYA, but one of her favorites is not music related. It was “when my high school friends, Faith, Alex, Serena, [and I] ^VU V\Y ÄYZ[ YLSH` YHJL VU [OL [YHJR team. We had all the odds against us, and none of us had run a relay before, but we pulled it off somehow!”

Julia keeps in touch with most of her NYA teachers. “Whether it’s through social media or in person, I try my best to keep in touch because I owe so many of them gratitude for my self-improvement at NYA, musically, and otherwise!”

This August, Julia participated in Central Maine Idol, a contest like American Idol. She won the title and the $10,000 prize!

So, what’s next besides law school? She really can’t say.

Legally, she can’t say. Hmm…

Alumnae Spotlight After Briana O’Hare Laurence ’99 graduated from NYA, she headed to Hamilton to play ice hockey and earn a B.A. in International Relations with a minor in Economics. She later earned an M.B.A. in Finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business. She ultimately landed in London where she is an Executive Director for Nomura, overseeing YLSH[PVUZOPW THUHNLTLU[ MVY ÄUHUJPHS PUZ[P[\[PVUZ PU PU]LZ[TLU[ banking and global markets. A dual US and UK citizen, she lives with her husband and two children.

As a member of the NYA Alumni Association Leadership Council, Briana helps to create connections between the Academy and alumni. In February 2023, she was able to make a very meaningful connection between NYA and her children’s school in London, The Rowans.

In doing so, Briana hoped “this would be an enriching experience for the students at both The Rowans School and NYA.”

+\YPUN H JLSLIYH[PVU VM 0U[LYUH[PVUHS >LLR JOPSKYLU PU ÄYZ[ HUK ZLJVUK grades from The Rowans and NYA had the opportunity to learn about different countries and build awareness of different cultures and traditions around the world as the classes met via Zoom. They chatted about school, sports, family, chores, pets, and daily life. The two classes also exchanged mailed letters with their new friends across the pond!

“The most critical thing I learned at NYA was how to think. My teachers encouraged class participation, the open exchange of ideas, and taught us how to listen to and appreciate different perspectives, as well as articulate our own. This has been an important skill for me professionally,” remarked Briana.

Daniel Scruggs

Peace Culture Music Daniel Scruggs visited the Lower School last spring, where he presented beautiful instruments from around the world. Each instrument came with a story—where it was made and who inspired Daniel to add it to his collection. A natural storyteller, the children were drawn to Daniel’s juggling, puppetry, and amazing photographs of people he met during his travels. Daniel wove music and story together with the intention of incorporating mindfulness for the children, inspiring them to spread kindness and peace with friends, family, and their school.

Academics

Seventh Diploma with Distinction Added to the Program With the addition of creative writing, NYA now has seven Diploma with Distinction options for Upper School students.

Those pursuing this distinction will study the art and process of creative writing and will assemble a substantial portfolio of original work.

Hallmarks of the course have students explore the connection between writer and audience. They will publish some of their writing in print or online and present their work to the public in both formal and informal settings. Throughout the process, students will be encouraged to seek writing advice from a professional writer in their chosen focus area and consult regularly with a creative writing faculty advisor.

Grand Reopening of Travis Roy Arena and Fitness & Wellness Center

Hebert Construction Gives Back to NYA 12

Tim Hebert P’25 & P’27, owner of Hebert Construction and lead contractor on NYA’s Travis Roy Arena and Fitness & Wellness Center project, made good on his pledge to donate back for each hour a student worked. He presented the Academy with a check for $35,950. Sixteen students worked 719 hours.

Both Marat and Kseniia, 15, come from very different backgrounds.

Kseniia is from Sumy in eastern Ukraine, 25 miles from the Russian border. Her father was in the agricultural industry but now works for the Red Cross, and her mother was home with her younger sister but now works in a shop selling military clothing to soldiers. Marat is from Kyiv, six hours by car from Kseniia. His parents are attorneys, and he has a 29-year-old brother who is also an attorney. Marat’s father is currently not working as an attorney; he joined the military so his brother would not have to.

By Kristi Belesca, Director of Marketing & Communications When I sat down to talk with Marat and Kseniia, NYA’s students from Ukraine, I expected a couple of quiet teenagers, who, due to the language barrier, wouldn’t have much to say. Surprisingly, they were quite talkative, especially when we discussed politics, war, the future, and dinner with Senator Angus King. They got along like siblings, teasing each other about their differences and rolling their eyes at one another.

Key to their NYA story is Eliot Grady, NYA’s Modern & Classical Languages Chair and Upper School French teacher who lived abroad for over 20 years, including two in Ukraine where she taught at the Pechersk School International. In the summer of 2022, a Ukrainian friend asked if she knew of a school that would accept a Ukrainian student, and NYA gladly LUYVSSLK 4HYH[ 5HaHYJO\R 4HYH[ THKL NYLH[ HJHKLTPJ Z[YPKLZ PU OPZ ÄYZ[ year. This fall, Kseniia Spanovska joined them. She was referred to Eliot from the same friend.

5@( ^HZ JOHSSLUNPUN H[ ÄYZ[ K\L [V [OL SHUN\HNL IHYYPLY HUK J\S[\YHS differences. They agree it is much better now. In Ukraine, they have eight classes a day, and teachers are not available for discussion or questions. They were both surprised at the approachability of the NYA faculty. “In America, school is sports, community, and [classes]. In Ukraine, you just study and go home,” explained Kseniia. Marat said that at NYA, if he doesn’t understand a concept, he can speak with the teacher after class and easily catch up.

Kseniia is an award-winning ballroom dancer. She ran cross country at NYA this fall, and she really enjoyed it—especially the people she ran with. She plans to pursue track in the coming seasons (though she jokes about trying ice hockey). Marat is an alpine skier and tennis player who managed the volleyball team this fall and will play keyboard in studio band and tennis later this year.

Both noted that people in the United States smile and make eye contact, which doesn’t happen in Ukraine. “People here are much more polite and friendly. When I came to NYA, people wanted to know about me and talk to me. I was afraid, but now it’s good. I have friends,” explained Kseniia. They both miss their friends at home and Ukrainian food, which can take a long time to prepare (unlike American food, they say).

They discussed the war and how it impacted their lives and those of their family members.

In September, Senator Angus King was in Portland with a small group of supporters, including Eliot’s brother-in-law. Senator King is a proponent of Ukraine and visited Kyiv this past winter. He and Marat spent time that evening discussing Ukraine, and Senator King showed him a photo of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy next to him during his visit. “We have similar views,” said Marat. The following evening, Senator King sat at their table for dinner—an unexpected surprise.

For the future, they both want the war to end and Ukraine to remain independent. They plan to graduate from NYA. After that, Kseniia plans to go back to Sumy. “We have a big future because my people are strong and proud. I think I will stay in Ukraine after the war,” she said.

She wants to help rebuild it. Marat is not sure he wants to go back after graduation. He is keeping his options open and will see what happens.

For now, we are honored to have Marat and Kseniia with us at NYA, and we hope for peace.

TEACHER SPOTLIGHTS

Leslie Pike Primary Teacher

Leslie Pike came to NYA four years ago and quickly earned the reputation as the “Child Whisperer.” After spending only a few moments in her soft-lit classroom with cozy corners and witnessing her interactions with students, you quickly understand why. “It’s about general respect to an individual,” said Pike. “When I see these children, I ask, how would I want to be treated? If they are having a hard time, how do I co-regulate? It’s not about me, it’s about me being your guide to help you be your best self.

How that happens? It happens in so many ways.”

Pike follows the Montessori methods of teaching. She loves the holistic approach that gives the children MYLLKVT [V ÄUK TH[LYPHSZ [OH[ ^VYR for them to meet their developmental needs. Her curriculum is more than math and literacy. She incorporates art, music, movement, mindfulness, and how to be a member of the group.

“I really bring it back to community.

If you’re a person in this community, and your behavior is not helpful to the community, how are you going to make a choice to come back to the community? It doesn’t become control, and it doesn’t take away. They have ownership. When things aren’t working for you, how can I give you purpose?

What is it that drives you? What are `V\ TV[P]H[LK I`& 0[»Z HIV\[ ÄUKPUN [OH[ spark in them and them having control over that. If they know that they have that, it gives them a greater purpose. It’s not about that endless tantrum.”

Pike credits NYA and her coworkers with giving her the support and trust to run her curriculum the way she does, something she never had in her previous 15 years of teaching. “My teaching has taken off because I have that support. The children generally care for each other, too, which is very sweet. That is felt in the classroom. That is felt with the families.”

Ellen Gagne

Fourth Grade Teacher

Fourth grade teacher, Ellen Gagne, has been at the Lower School from the start. Teaching in a new division was “exciting and daunting at the same time,” she said. “NYA was so welcoming to the Lower School. We instantly felt that we were a part of the NYA community.” ;OL ÄYZ[ `LHY PU H UL^ KP]PZPVU TLHUZ UL^ traditions, and Ellen had a hand in creating the Annual Hop-A-Thon, Peace Day celebration at one of our Peace Poles, Trick-or-Treating around campus on Halloween, Lower School +YHTH *S\I HUU\HS ÄLSK [YPWZ <WWLY :JOVVS student mentors, and Lower School community service projects.

Since opening in 2013, the Lower School has undergone many changes in addition to growing in size. “I feel we are continually evolving in so many positive ways. Our program has so much to offer,” she explained.

One of her fondest memories is the annual Lower School play. “I feel so fortunate to be able to be a part of this great program! I am always in awe of the students during their big performance. Each student truly shines!”

in Malawi. If she could take her class anywhere in the world, it would be there. “I would love to have my students experience the culture and kindness of this beautiful country.”

In the coming years, Ellen hopes the focus continues to be providing the best possible experience for the students. Although much has changed, an important thing has stayed the same.

“The love and devotion from administration, faculty, and staff at NYA to provide the best experience for our students.”

Ellen shares her passion for helping children in Malawi, Africa with her classes. Her students have organized numerous fundraisers for families

Jess Smith

Teacher Lower and Middle School Spanish Lower and Middle School Spanish teacher, Jess Smith, has watched students grow and change since the beginning of the Lower School. “It is one of my favorite things about being in a small school like this,” she says.

Growing up in Maryland, Jess never thought she would one day teach Spanish in Maine. “I always loved the language, but it was never easy for me, and I tell my students that all the time.” An LPNO[O NYHKL :WHUPZO [YPW [V 7\LY[V 9PJV ZVSPKPÄLK her love of travel. “It was such an eye-opening experience to learn about what else is out there

in the world. I want my students to realize that there are so many amazing things happening all around us.”

Jess teaches toddlers through eighth grade, and although her approach varies by age group, the philosophy—comprehensible input—remains the same. “I use things that are familiar to them.

I use lots of expression and movement to make the language approachable.” When students ask PM [OL` ^PSS IL Å\LU[ ZOL [LSSZ [OLT [OH[ SLHYUPUN a language doesn’t usually work that way. Smith explains how we naturally learn through pictures,

modeling, repetition, and expression. “We understand more of what we are taking in than we can produce. Very young kids know what you are saying before they can respond back to you or answer you in a complete sentence. They may be taking it in but cannot yet verbalize.”

NYA is a family affair for the Smiths. Jess’s husband Nate has been teaching at NYA’s Middle School for 19 years and daughters Hadley ’26 and Eliza ’28 are NYA “lifers.”

Crocs, and Fourth Grade, Cares by Ellen Gagne P’19, Fourth Grade Teacher The fourth grade class has a wonderful history of lending support to students in Malawi. Malawi has a special place in my heart as my sister-inlaw is from this beautiful country. A few years ago, I was fortunate to visit my extended family in Malawi. During this trip, my family and I visited several schools, including the Nkoma Primary School and the Chilanga School for the Blind. After looking at photos of students in Malawi, my fourth graders noticed that some children were wearing Crocs, while

most others were barefoot. We had a wonderful discussion, and the class came up with the idea of having a school-wide Croc Drive. This past year, we held our second Croc Drive at NYA. Through monetary contributions and donations of gently used Crocs, we were able to donate over 200 pairs of Crocs to children in Malawi. Thanks to our wonderful students at NYA, kindness is being spread globally.

The Story of Isabel and Paul Five members of the NYA Middle School Civil Rights Club authored and illustrated the children’s book, Isabel and Paul. The title characters each have a physical disability. The story starts in P.E. class, when two of Isabel and Paul’s peers tell them they cannot participate because of their disabilities.

Isabel and Paul go on to show that they can do anything, and disabilities are not limiting but make them unique. Maia Barschdorf ’27, Ellie Belleau ’30, Alicia Fontana ’27, Veronika Kopytnik ’29, and Lillian Smith ’29 created the book to educate kids from a young age not to judge or exclude those different from you. “It is so important to learn about everyone and welcome everyone because everyone is different and incredible,” said Barschdorf.

“Each person has their own story and experiences that are important, and everyone matters.”

Buddy Bench

by Cindy Hould (LCSW) P’33, P’35, NYA Counselor For some children who are shy and introverted, recess can cause stress and social anxiety that becomes a hurdle to initiating play. At NYA, we have a new buddy bench located in the Lower School playground. The bench serves to cue students to interact with their classmates who might otherwise be apprehensive to initiate play. By sitting on the buddy bench, students are empowered to be seen and gain an opportunity to meet new friends without ULLKPUN [V ÄUK [OL ^VYKZ ¸^PSS `V\ WSH` ^P[O TL¹& NYA Upper School Art Teacher Colby Myer and Upper School art students will design a second buddy bench to be located near the Lewis Turf Field ^OLYL ÄYZ[ [OYV\NO LPNO[O NYHKL Z[\KLU[Z OH]L [OLPY YLJLZZ A special thank you to Jess Lynch P’29, P’31 for donating the benches and to the Lower School students who delighted in making their handprints a WLYTHULU[ Ä_[\YL

Environmental Club Awarded Grants The NYA Environmental Club has been quite productive this year thanks to a couple of student-authored grant awards. They received funds from the NYA Parents’ Association (PA) and ecomaine. Thanks to the PA grant, the club revamped the campus recycling initiative, partnering with ecomaine and investing in a large recycling dumpster. Previously, the club members collected recycling and drove it to the Yarmouth waste management station themselves.

The Environmental Club also secured $2,275 from ecomaine’s Outreach & Recycling Committee through their School Waste Diversion Grant Program. The funds will be used to reinstate the on-campus composting program with Garbage-to-Garden. Thanks for helping to make our campus greener, Environmental Club!

I took the photo this summer while in Yellowstone as a part of a National Geographic Student Travel Program. The program brought a group of high school students to the park for a week for a photography workshop and to work with the Nat Geo Photographer, Drew Rush.

The photo is taken from Artist Point in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The catalog they put the photo in is an informational one for all of the National Geographic Student Travel programs.

Why college tours are an important part of my job?

By Gretchen Bergill, NYA College Counselor Gretchen with a group at the University of Exeter in Exeter, Devon, England

Gretchen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque during an NYU tour

By visiting schools in person, the college counselor gains familiarity with a wide range of schools and learns important details about the programs, MHJPSP[PLZ JVZ[Z ÄUHUJPHS HPK HUK ZJOVSHYZOPW policies, and post-graduation opportunities they offer. By understanding the “where,” “what,” and “why,” I am better prepared to help NYA students ÄUK [OLPY ¸TH[JO ¹ Less well-known but equally suitable college options can be found across the country and abroad. And they may be more affordable and more suitable for a student’s particular interests and goals. But if you’ve never heard of Grinnell College in Iowa or Northeastern University’s Oakland, CA campus, how would you know to check them out?

When I am invited on a college counselor tour, I’m usually given the opportunity to hear from current students, meet faculty, sit in on classes, and to visit the college president’s home for candid conversations. It’s a privilege to be invited on these tours. Often the college fully funds [OL [YPW ZV 5@( Z[\KLU[Z YLHW [OL ILULÄ[Z VM my experiences. Counselor tours are also one of the best ways I know to be able to represent 5@( [V JVSSLNL HKTPZZPVUZ VMÄJLYZ HUK [V MVYNL connections with them.

In the end, it’s just a lot easier to help a student build a college list when you’ve seen the colleges yourself, you know how easy or hard it is to get there, and if there is good coffee on campus!

Congratulations

3L^PZ[VU PZ ÄSSLK ^P[O NLULYH[PVUZ VM MHTPSPLZ ^OV SV]L [OLPY JP[` >L HYL H JVTT\UP[` ÄSSLK with primarily blue-collar workers who live a simple life by doing what they know and are good at, working hard, and providing for their families. This tragic event that happened this past Wednesday uprooted and caused chaos in many of those simple lives. The support from all of you here and from around the world helped support the grieving people and comforted everyone who felt lost.

This terrible act of violence is a reminder to everyone how fragile life can be. Let’s move forward with compassion and acceptance and be kind to others because you never know what’s happening in their world or their head.

Thank you to everyone who gave and continues to give support to the people and families affected; I can speak for the Lewiston community when I say it is much appreciated.
