Ribbon Cutting Celebrates Rectory’s Past, Present, and Future

BY FR ED W ILLI A MS, HE A DM A STER

O

n Monday, January 23, rather than attend morning meeting (elementary school) or advisor period (middle school), all Rectory students, a good number of parents, some local dignitaries, alumni and friends, along with current and former faculty, filled the Day Room Circle to celebrate a grand opening. A late January outdoor event in Pomfret can be risky, but the threat of rain never materialized, and a dusting of snow helped create a wonderful “New-Englandesque” setting to our festivities as we cut the ribbon on a spacious addition off the John Bigelow Academic Building. This new space, which will house our Individualized Instruction Program and our elementary school, completes phase one of our comprehensive master planning effort and inspires us to reflect on the past while celebrating the present.

THE RECTORY NEWS / ANNUAL REPORT

In my welcome that morning I borrowed from Adrienne Clarkson, who said, “Each of us is carving a stone, erecting a column, or cutting a piece of stained glass in the construction of something much bigger than ourselves.” As I think about our new space, Clarkson’s words, like our Memorial bell, ring so clear and true as the opening of these new spaces furthers the mission started nearly a century ago by Rectory’s founders, Reverend Frank and Mabel Bigelow. With these purposefully designed, state-of-the-art learning areas, Rectory is now even better suited to carry out our most important work: the education of young people. And while we left the literal construction of our beautiful addition to the professionals, the figurative building that continues is rooted in our founding, nourished in our present, and geared towards our future. All associated with Rectory are part of that construction crew, including Mrs. Duncan.

RECTORY SCHOOL Several weeks prior to our opening I was on the Eastern Shore of Maryland meeting with a group of Rectory alumni and past parents. As I greeted the guests one father proudly displayed the sweater he was wearing, a sweater, he told me, that was knit for his son by his son’s Rectory tutor over 30 years ago. At the time I was not familiar with the tutor he mentioned, Mrs. Duncan, though I clearly understood the important role she had played in his life, having spoken to so many current and former students about their relationships with their Rectory tutors. While all these students acknowledge the academic component of the relationship, so many also talk about the invaluable daily emotional touchpoint that aided, and still aids, in navigating the occasionally turbulent waters of adolescence. Fast forward to our opening celebration where I spy an elderly woman approaching our new space. Welcoming her to our event, I ask her name, to which she responds, “Mrs. Duncan; I am a former Rectory tutor.”

Mrs. Duncan helped build our new addition. Mary Lou Seaward helped build our new addition. My mother, a Rectory tutor for a few years, helped build our new addition. John Bigelow, Laura Sharp, Lisa Levesque, Maria Carpenter, Ruth Healy, John Green, and so many others helped build our new addition. In fact, all of us associated with Rectory have played a role in this construction, and, subsequently, in an effort so much bigger than ourselves as we contribute to the proud history of Rectory School. This perpetual construction project is not always linear; it evolves and morphs over the years as programs emerge, instructional practices change, and our student body grows and takes new form, but our momentum is ever forward. This student body now includes 45 female boarding students, along with another 35 middle school girls in our day population, and this student body, as was true decades before, now includes an incredibly vibrant and dynamic elementary school that, after 10 years of spread out living, now resides under one roof in spaces designed for this age group.

This issue of The Rectory News highlights our new facilities and the programs housed in them. Suffice to say, they would not exist without a community effort. So many participated in the planning and design, and so many offered generous philanthropic support to make Rectory’s vision a reality. Now we occupy the spaces, and the benefits to our faculty and our students are already evident.

The spaciousness, the natural light and beautiful views, the comfort, the appropriately-sized and purposefully-designed furniture, the flexibility, the accessibility, the setting and the connection to

The new elementary classrooms are beautiful and functional.

the outdoors, the community building, and the power of now being able to show visitors Rectory’s tutoring and elementary school in action are just a sampling of the many powerful gains accompanying our new construction.

As our campus continues to take shape, the importance of physical space, which serves as the intersection between people—namely our legendary faculty and our impressive young students—and program, is demonstrably clear. With a new front entrance to Grosvenor House and renovated and expanded admissions spaces, new faculty housing, a fully renovated Memorial Dormitory, and our just-opened academic addition, Rectory’s program is taking great strides forward. Tied to this progress is the incredibly important work we are doing with faculty compensation, work that the Tang family has encouraged us all to be a part of. They have put forth a transformational opportunity that will assure that the best teachers occupy these spaces and educate our students.

Whether helping to build a wall or a career, we are all a part of this progress.

Life at Rectory is always active, so even before the dust settles, we are already beginning work on renovations to the old dining hall, which will be in use as a student center this spring. And with our centennial celebration just a few years down the road, we have even bigger plans to come. I hope you will all be part—whether connected to people, program, or space—of our ongoing construction effort as we add new chapters to Rectory’s storied history.

Considering the outcome—confident, informed, compassionate, and engaged young people who will help chart the future course of our world—it is a great project to join.

Signature Program Writes Another Chapter in its Notable History

By Claudia Ricci, Retired Director of Communications and Teacher Lisa Levesque, Senior Administrative Advisor and Teacher

A great migration occurred at Rectory during January. Tutors coming from disparate, unique, and often faraway “nests” that for decades had been scattered among four floors in various parts of the Academic Building and Main House, flocked to the Smith Learning Center, their brand-new, designated home. Settling as a community into this thoughtfully designed wing, the tutors began another chapter in the history of Rectory’s signature Individualized Instruction Program (IIP) in a climate that continues their work of advancement for their students.

Ms. DiIorio and Mr. Walden joyfully move to their new spaces in the Smith Learning Center.

T

he Smith Learning Center, a major benefaction from June and Henry Smith ’76, is a vital place, a convenient hub where IIP’s goals can be accomplished with maximum productivity. Scott Greene, Director of Learning Services, says, “By consolidating services under one roof, the tutors will be able to collaborate with their colleagues in an efficient way to share ideas and support each other in their work. It will also allow the students to collaborate with their peers which furthers their ability to communicate and advocate for themselves.”

Through planning with Master Planner Kevin Tubridy ’60 of New England 6

Design, the new wing’s configuration gives plenty of space for addressing specific needs of both students and tutors. Greene points to the study carrels for students who are easily distracted, and notes that there are 17 individual rooms, each with a door and window for the quiet space that many students require during tutoring sessions. The strategic placement of the tutor workroom at the end of the building and away from the stations eliminates distractions. Greene sees many possibilities with the wing’s design. “I envision the center section of the new wing being used for both daytime IIP classes as well as small group evening study hall.”

inception in 1920 at the rectory of Christ Church, where The Reverend Frank Bigelow and his wife, Mabel, tutored their son, John, and a friend’s son, George C. Holt II. The following year another student, Philip Ward, joined the group.

The next year enrollment increased by six students. The emphasis on providing individualized attention and a customized curriculum to students in small classes in a caring atmosphere appealed to many

Furthermore, Greene comments that having everyone on the same floor “will allow for impromptu tutor meetings and support sessions. Our resources will, once again, be accessible to all as we relocate those items from the basement book room to our new IIP Resource Room.”

Concern for the nurturing of individual students is an integral part of the philosophy of Rectory School. This relocation from divergent workplaces to a unified area will serve to strengthen the personalized approach that has been a keystone of a Rectory education since its founding.

“Celebrating the Individual,” a marketing focus in recent years, actually had its

RECTORY SCHOOL prospective families. Consequently, the school grew, and in 1927, Father Bigelow resigned as rector to devote full time as headmaster.

As Rectory developed into a preparatory school, its connection to language disability work began to grow in the 1930s.

According to an article in The Rectory News of 1975 by William O’Flanagan, “Elizabeth Bigelow Abbott (eldest daughter of Father and Mrs. Bigelow) who was Educational Director and Head of the Remedial Reading Program...worked closely with the Durrell-Sullivan Clinic, pioneers in the research and remediation of language disabilities. In 1944, John Bigelow came in contact with Dr. Samuel Torrey Orton, a most noted psychiatrist and neurologist, whose work with language disabilities ...was monumental.” The relationship grew and consequently, when the Orton Society began in 1949, many Rectory faculty were charter members. Furthermore, during the 1960s the foundation’s headquarters were located here.

It was through the Orton Society that Page Sharp and his wife, Laura, were referred to Rectory. O’Flanagan’s account says, “With them the Sharps brought a good deal of experience and expertise in the language disability field. They instituted the use of the Gillingham-Childs approach to remediation.”

Today, Rectory continues to use a modified OrtonGillingham approach to language remediation. However, IIP has expanded its offerings to include study, organizational, and content support as well as enrichment by crafting a course of action specifically for the needs and/or interests of the tutee.

Rectory is about relationships, evidence of which is seen as visitors come to campus and learn about IIP. One of the most important of these bonds forms between

tutor and parent, as each shares a vision for the child and works in partnership to fulfill it. John Seaward ’02, Director of Enrollment, expresses excitement about the way the new wing will impress prospective parents. When Admissions Ambassadors proudly show them the Smith Learning Center, parents will see “how Rectory is dedicated to providing the very best learning environment for its students” and using a customized approach.

Alongside the young person on a journey of growth and transformation during formative years at Rectory is a fellow companion, the tutor, who is teacher, coach, surrogate parent, cheerleader, confidant, guide, and visionary. Together, tutee and tutor have experienced this historic migration to a gathering place constructed with attention to specific needs, a parallel to the daily, intentional, caring work of the tutor. Together, they are spreading their wings in a new habitation that showcases the IIP legacy of possibility, mastery, and excellence.

Elizabeth Bigelow Abbott’s work in language disabilities with Dr. Durrell of Boston (Boston University and Durrell-Sullivan Clinic) from 1935-1943 became groundwork for today’s IIP.

Tittering in Tutoring

The relationship that develops between tutor and tutee forms a lasting bond that is often deepened though humor.

Being able to laugh together is a healthy experience. The following comical occurrences are shared by present and retired tutors who have recalled them as treasures.

Lisette Rimer: I remember an adorable Mexican student, a seventh-grader, very talented, but more interested in playing games.

Just when I thought I had him focused on work, he would distract me with jokes and stories. He mostly wanted to talk about Mexico, which was fascinating. One day, after many stories about his home town, I thought I had him back on track. He pretended to be interested in an assignment.

He leaned his head earnestly over the homework sheet in front of us. Uh huh, he said, his eyes glued on the paper.

Just when I thought he was serious, suddenly, my adjustable chair was lowered to practically floor level and my head was barely peeking over the table. I sat almost under the table, looking up at him.

He got me again. There was nothing to do but laugh and give him credit.

Mary Lou Seaward: A tutee I had used to claim that he had a photographic memory.

When I would test him, if he didn’t remember the answer, his excuse was that he was “temporarily out of film.”

After his father died on 9/11, a boy shut down and did not do one single homework assignment in his school back home. His mother enrolled him at Rectory in an effort to help him. Well, at Rectory students have no choice; we “guide” you to do your work, and the boy produced work and earned decent grades. After the fall term, we cleared out his papers, and they amassed to a stack three inches high! I mailed it home to his mom as a Christmas present.

THE RECTORY NEWS / ANNUAL REPORT

Claudia Abbott: Life in a tutoring station can be full of surprises. While I was working with a student, I heard something drop on the desk. When I glanced over at my tutee, he was holding his jaw and painfully exclaiming that he had lost his tooth. “Let’s go over to the infirmary,” I replied. At the mere suggestion, a big smile broke out, and the Jolly Rancher candy that had fallen was reclaimed! I learned through the years that the antics of students could make me a lot smarter.

One eighth-grade student noted the importance of IIP when he said, “The way to nip a problem is to nip it before it nips YOU!” Nancy Green: Not long after I started at Rectory, I worked with a rather stoic young student; his demeanor was unflappable. Something happened that amused me, and I blurted a blast of laughter. This boy stopped, turned in his seat, and with incredulity asked, “What was that?” I chuckled, replying, “My husband

calls this my blaff, a blast and a laugh!”….. I was rewarded with a slow smile.

“Mrs. Green, you know how, when you butter a piece of toast and you drop it, it always falls on the buttered side?”

“You’re right! It does!”

“And you know that when you drop a cat, it falls on its feet?”

“Yes. . . that seems to be the way it goes.”

“Well, what do you think would happen if you buttered a cat?!”

Hard to know.

Thelma Barker: It was the last day of school, and my tutee and I were playing Scrabble. She had some initial difficulty, and I gave her a few subtle hints to boost her

On the impact of teaching reading: Patty Shattuck: It was the beginning of my second year working with a sixth-grade international student who barely spoke English the year before. While taking turns reading aloud a book about the Alaskan Iditarod, we suddenly learned that one of the dogs from the leading sled-dog team had been killed by a moose. I choked up and had tears in my eyes, and then I noticed that my little student was also teary-eyed. In that instant, I was overcome with thoughts of the pleasure of reading, and, more importantly, the power of teaching students how to read, so they can experience that joy.

Deanna Hart-Rodman: Probably the best way for me to “pay it forward” in life is to use the knowledge and gifts that I have been blessed with to teach dyslexic and struggling readers how to read.

RECTORY SCHOOL morale. As the game moved on, she looked at the score and said, “You’d better start worrying, Toots.”

On a shelf over my desk sits a picture of my mother, a former Rectory tutor.

A tutee was working on his spelling at the blackboard, and one word was proving to be difficult for him to learn. Finally he said plaintively, “Who makes up these words anyway?”

Margery Mosher: I was talking to one of my students, an eighth-grader, about the word belligerent, and I put up my dukes, so to speak, to demonstrate the idea of being aggressive or ready to fight. My student didn’t miss a beat and quipped, “Bring it on, Grandma!” I thought I was going to fall on the floor laughing, it was so funny! I didn’t take it as disrespect at all.

Claudia Ricci: While studying for a vocabulary test with my eighth-grade tutee, I questioned his use of the word stolid in a sentence: The dining hall gave us stolid soup for lunch today. “This word is generally used to describe a human characteristic,” I explained. He would not reconsider, but instead insisted his sentence was accurate.

“I’ll prove it!” he said emphatically, as he opened the dictionary. There it was: “stolid not easily stirred.” I have enjoyed feasting on that one for years.

Ginger Kellaway: In the midst of a heart-to-heart talk about adjusting to life at Rectory, my new Chinese tutee, who lacked confidence in conversational English, looked at me quizzically. I asked if he had a question. After hesitating, he made a swiping motion around his eye. At first, I thought he had something in his eye, but he shook his head. He repeated the gesture, motioning towards me. I asked him if I had something wrong with my eye, and he politely said, “Yes, you look like panda!” He was trying to tell me, respectfully, that there was a large smudge of black mascara on my cheek! We both laughed, and I praised him for his descriptive image. For the following IIP session, I brought in a small panda figurine, and we laughed again. Believe me, that little bear moved right along with me to the new station!

In the photo, her customary warm smile is readily apparent as she watches over her tutee seated next to her. With pencil in hand and paper out, this young man is earnestly working through his schoolwork, all the while cognizant of the much valued support sitting by his side.

Whether my mother or any of the other tutors who have been a part of Rectory’s Individualized Instruction Program, the partnerships formed between tutors and tutees have been the source for the transformational school experiences afforded so many of our students. The growth witnessed in these young men and women is dramatic and broad, as they hone academic skills, develop confidence, and re-envision their sense of self and goals for the future.

IIP remains a key differentiator for Rectory as prospective families consider a range of school options. With the opening of the Smith Learning Center, our niche program now has a most impressive public face, one that will allow all to witness the invaluable experiences provided to our students by our legendary tutors.

Fred Williams, Headmaster

Thank you

The tutor’s relationship extends far beyond the IIP session into all facets of school life.

Are you remembering those daily trips to the tutoring station and the assurance that your tutor was there with undivided attention to you and your specific needs?

Those times were beneficial and often pivotal. Why not take the opportunity to write a note to that special person from your middle school years and let him or her know what you are doing and how glad you are that you walked a path together at Rectory. You will make a tutor’s heart sing.

Natural Space - It’s Elementary!

RECTORY SCHOOL

By Matthew Winkler, Writer-in-Residence

Natural materials for the furniture, natural light streaming in the windows, and natural science all around. That’s what you can expect to find in Rectory’s new elementary classrooms.

Join us on a tour of Rectory’s new Hale Elementary Wing:

E

ven before you enter the building, you’re inside the school. A porch roof with skylights shelters an exterior space, so that students can work outdoors in any weather. “I always wanted a space where students could write with snow falling around them,” says Director of Elementary Maria Carpenter.

Enter the front door, and you’ll find yourself in a welcoming foyer with a window into Maria’s office and glass doors opening onto the main hallway. Step through those doors and glance at the information screen above the water fountain, then turn right toward the K-1 and 2-3 classrooms, or left toward the 4-5-6 cluster in the main academic building. But before moving on, take a moment to consider the hallway itself. Maria explains, “Traditionally, hallways are only used during 5% of the

NEWS / ANNUAL REPORT 10 10 THE THERECTORY RECTORY NEWS

school day. You think of them running in this direction, longitudinally. We wanted the classroom space to extend laterally, to include the hallway and the porch, so we designed these large windows.” The low, broad windowsills and child-sized benches invite students to sit down and read a book. Beautiful and functional, these benches were made from trees removed from the very building site, demonstrating the Rectory values of respect and responsibility for all living things.

Moving into the K-1 and 2-3 classrooms, notice the high ceilings and the feeling of unlimited space. The architectural elements that define these two classrooms are subtly designed. Each has its own kitchen space and bathroom, and shrewd engineering allows for flexible subdivision of the entire level. “Whatever this building

RECTORY SCHOOL

might be used for in the future, with these removable partition walls, we can adjust the space to meet those needs.” In one corner of this floor is a cubby area, shared by all K-3 students. This is where jackets and boots are stored, right next to an exit to the front porch and only a few steps away from another door leading to the garden on the south side of the building.

The north end of the Hale Elementary Wing is linked to the main academic building by a double-decker corridor. This “bridge” actually rests on the ground, but it serves as a symbolic connection between the two structures and the two program divisions. The fourth-grade classroom opens directly onto the bridge, but the main doorway opens into the hallway

linking the Day Student Room to the fifthand sixth-grade classrooms, where the “big kids” study.

Architectural design intentionally complements academic evolution in this series of rooms. As students graduate up through the grades, they move from the center of the new Hale Elementary Wing into the fourth-grade classroom at its extremity, before stepping across the hall to the fifth-grade classroom, the lowest level of the middle school–literally and academically. In the same way, Rectory continues to develop our facilities and our curriculum, keeping them thoughtfully integrated in the service of our mission: to help each child achieve his or her fullest potential.

E L E M E N TA R Y R E C O L L E C T I O N S There are so many memories of my years at Rectory as a K-1 coteacher with Maria. Those dear memories come back to me often.

I learned so much as an educator, a co-teaching team member, and a member of a learning community. I cherish the memories of the days spent with truly lovely families and children who I knew better than any other children I have had the pleasure to teach.

Each child is woven into the person and teacher I am today. Maria and I worked together with so much respect and admiration for each other. We worked endlessly, enjoying every minute, knowing part of the lesson for our students was to witness us as we worked together. I feel so blessed for having had the experience. ~Audrey Cadarette, Retired K-1 Teacher Rectory’s elementary school has a warm place in our memories and hearts. Our daughter, Melissa, was one of five students to open the kindergarten program along with her teacher, Maria Carpenter. We

are reminded of those days often as Melissa’s artwork still hangs on our kitchen wall. One little note reads “A Recipe for Mashed Potatoes by Melissa...You don’t need to cook the potatoes. You just need to mash them! You can add salt or cheese or butter!”

It was a magical year. ~ Ellen Browne P ‘14 We were just reminiscing about those early days in Rectory’s elementary school, and how fortunate we were to have Maria and Audrey in that first K-1 room. Abigail was so animated while describing it to one of her friends.

The elementary school was a magical time for her, establishing a sure foundation for her ongoing love of learning. If only every child could begin their learning days in such a supportive, creative and inspiring environment. I cannot thank you enough for the gifts you gave her. ~ Patricia Snyder P’15 THE RECTORY NEWS / ANNUAL REPORT

Rectory Introduces New Athletic Suite of Logos

By Dawn Chmura, Director of Communications At the January meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Rectory Board approved a new athletic suite of logos as part of a new visual identity for the School. The visual identity system is a critical tool in achieving a consistent look across all Rectory Athletics communications. Over time, this visual identity, or “look,” will become associated with the Rectory School and will thereby reinforce the strength of our brand.

The elements of the Rectory Athletics visual identity system, as seen below, are: A: The Circle B: The Paw C: The Rectory “R” D: “RECTORY” Logotype E: Rectory With Paw F: Rectory Wolves G: Rectory Athletics H: Sport-Specific Logotype

WHAT’S HAPPENING RPA Donates New Scoreboard

By Paul Gray ’09, Communications Associate This November, the Rectory Parents’ Association generously donated a new scoreboard to our gymnasium. The new scoreboard can score for basketball, wrestling, and volleyball games, while the old scoreboard could only score for basketball. The new board is not only bigger (8’ x 8’) compared to the old board (3½’ x 5½’), but is considerably brighter as well. A big thank you is extended to Rectory’s maintenance staff, who took down the old scoreboard and put up the new one during Thanksgiving break. The scoreboard was immediately put to use when students returned after the Thanksgiving break.

RECTORY SCHOOL WHAT’S HAPPENING CARe Engages with Older Rectory Students

By Erin Hayden, Director of CARe The Rectory School continually provides students with new opportunities and experiences. Students may try a sport, play an instrument, hike a mountain, read Shakespeare, or even ice skate for the first time. This is especially true for the CARe students, who will be experiencing many things for the very first time.

One their favorite experiences, year after year, is spending time with the elementary and middle school students. For many of our three- and four-year olds, this is their first experience collaborating with older students. Often, for days after a visit, the children talk about the big-kid friends they spent time with, even if it was the first time they had met a student.

The excitement and engagement of having older students share time and laughter with younger students illustrates, over and over again, what a caring community Rectory truly is.

CARe has been fortunate to have had many past experiences that have allowed middle school, elementary, and CARe students to collaborate in learning. Some of the most memorable have been Mr. Winkler’s class creating stories and puppet shows based on the preschoolers’ ideas and interests, attending the performance of Beauty and the Beast and having Mrs. Bessette bring the cast of the play to CARe for a question and answer session, and most recently, having ninth-grade students choose CARe for their elective.

This year we have already had three opportunities to collaborate with the Rectory community. The grade 2-3 classroom invited the preschoolers to their classroom to read their “Just Right” books.

Each student was paired with a 2-3 student, and when they were

finished reading, the older student gave their preschool buddy a tour of their classroom. Soon after reading their stories, a group of 2-3 and preschool students were gathered around a box of sound tubes and were working together to figure out what was inside each tube creating each sound. It was this unplanned exchange between the older and younger students that was the most meaningful, as they worked together sharing ideas. As we walked out the door, one of the 2-3 students grabbed a CARe teacher’s arm and asked, “Can they visit again soon?”

We are thrilled that ninth grader Olivia M-E has chosen CARe as her elective for the winter term. Olivia spends two hours a week reading, drawing, talking, comforting, laughing, and engaging with the CARe students. Olivia’s interest in the children is sincere, and she greets them with hugs and smiles. The value of her time at CARe is twofold.

The CARe students look up to Olivia as she teaches them grace, kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect, and Olivia in return is adored and loved as their true friend.

Most recently, the CARe students joined Mrs. Gould’s eighthgrade art class to draw portraits of the eighth grade students. The eighth graders were extremely patient and kind, since our threeand four-year olds’ drawing skills are not quite as polished as their own. The smiles and laughter danced around the classroom as the eighth graders watched their buddies draw pictures of them.

The CARe children enjoyed seeing their “big friends” on our Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, when we were reminded of how important community, respect, and dedication are to the lives of all. We celebrated MLK Jr.’s legacy by bringing together students who worked with each other to live the Rectory School Creed: Responsibility, Respect, Honesty, and Compassion.

WHAT’S HAPPENING Correction: 2016 Graduation Award

By Dawn Chmura, Director of Communications We regret that 2016 graduate Michael Mills’ name was omitted from the list of graduation awards in the 2016 summer issue of The Rectory News. Michael was a recipient of the Chorus Award, presented at the ninth-grade awards ceremony. Michael, a sophomore at The Winchendon School, recently played the male lead role in Winchendon’s production of Disney’s High School Musical On Stage—a rare achievement for a tenth-grade student.

Mr. Williams, at the first assembly of the year, challenged students to help the community by getting involved in projects that take them out of their comfort zones.

Because of the students’ hard work and effort, both groups did a fantastic job of helping both Rectory faculty members and local organizations.

The Community Service Elective, led by Mr. Brad Seaward and Ms. Fran Morano, met every Tuesday and Thursday to work on projects, on and off campus. The various projects included sorting and arranging student laundry for pickup, collecting trash on the local roads and on land owned by the Windham Land Trust, and working on the flower bed outside of Mr. Long’s apartment.

The elective also invited Romeo Blackmar from Putnam Pride to talk about what it means to volunteer, and to share his community service efforts in the greater Northeastern Connecticut area.

The Community Service Sport, offered for the first time this fall, had 15 students with Ms. Hannah Minifie leading the students as their coach. Like the elective, students worked on projects both on and off campus. Each week students worked on different projects such as stacking wood for faculty members and cleaning up the grounds at the New England Historical Society. On certain weekends, the students went off campus to work with a local organization, such as Our Companions Animal Shelter, to help them prepare for winter. Throughout the trimester, the students had an ongoing bake sale for the entire Rectory community. They made trail mix and cookies, which they offered for sale during morning breaks. The students were able to raise $1,600 and donated the proceeds to local organizations such as Horizon Wings Raptor Rehabilitation & Education, Putnam Pajama Drive, and The Pink Fund.

We are incredibly proud of both groups for all the great work they did this past trimester.

They successfully took in the words of Mr. Williams and expressed them through their actions and efforts, and we could not be more proud of them. We look forward to seeing what these two groups can do in years to come!

Rectory’s Thanksgiving

By Luis Zerpa, Middle School Residential Faculty On November 20, 2016, Rectory’s boarding community gathered together for its second annual Thanksgiving Dinner.

Thanksgiving is a very special time of the year for many of us. That is why Mr. Luis Zerpa and Mr. Braden Long thought this would be the perfect venue for the students and the Pomfret community to get together in a meaningful way. It was important to offer the students the opportunity to share a formal, family-style sit-down meal with members of the community. For the community members who attended as guests, it was an eye-opening opportunity for them to see Rectory in a new light. Everything we do at Rectory revolves around teachable moments.

Mr. Long and Mr. Zerpa thought about this idea for a good while. In the end, they thought it was important to include former faculty who live nearby, in addition to other members of our community.

Everyone truly enjoyed sharing this meal together. The students behaved very well and showcased the great sense of family that permeates in our school. This event was a great success, and Rectory received much warm praise as a result.

RECTORY SCHOOL WHAT’S HAPPENING Rectory Enrichment Series

By Mary Tiebout, Library Director It has long been thought that field trips for students are excellent learning opportunities. But the large amount of planning that goes into scheduling these trips often makes them an impossibility for teachers to execute. So, what if these field trips could come to the students here at school, with the planning and scheduling done by administrators rather than the classroom teachers?

In an effort to solve this problem, Director of Innovation, Lisa Hart, and Library Director, Mary Tiebout, put their heads together and launched the Rectory Enrichment Series. They have searched out various traveling education programs, scheduled the visits, and then given the students the opportunity to sign up for those programs that they wish to attend.

Offered during the afternoon enrichment time, interested students gather in the library for a variety of hands-on programs offered once a month for various grade levels. In December, 30 very excited eighth and ninth graders gathered for a squid dissection, presented by an educator from Mystic Aquarium. All were eager to participate as they followed directions to dissect and inspect the different parts of the squid.

Rectory students eagerly participate in a squid dissection through the Mystic Aquarium.

In January, 30 eager fifth, sixth and seventh graders learned about the habitats and adaptations of five different live animals brought to the library by educators from The Children’s Museum of West Hartford. Students got to observe a stick bug and an African bullfrog; then all who were brave enough touched a Madagascar hissing cockroach, a boa constrictor, and a chinchilla!

In February, a representative from electric power company Eversource presented a creative challenge to 30 eighth and ninth graders: which blade design for a wind turbine produces the greatest wind energy?

Best enjoys getting closer to the boa constrictor.

To date, all of the programs have been met with much enthusiasm and excitement. As one traveling teacher stated, “This is the best group we have ever had because the students who are in attendance are really interested and involved.” No doubt, allowing the students the choice to attend or not improves the quality of the program for both the instructor and the students.

More exciting programs for April and May are in the works, including a rope-making session and a sextant training opportunity, both from Mystic Seaport.

T

he fall athletics season was great! We experienced quintessential New England weather and each team found success in its own way.

For some teams, it was a record heavy on wins and light on losses, while for other teams, it was their marked improvement. Coaches reported that the kids demonstrated excellent effort and sportsmanship all season long, and the camaraderie that existed and developed between teammates was heartwarming. One of the most newsworthy efforts came from the inaugural Community Service Team, who spent their fall organizing bake sales, raising money to donate, and giving of their time and energy to support several different local charitable organizations. The fall season certainly set the tone for what will be an excellent year for Rectory athletics.

SWIMMING

By Colleen O’Neil, Sports Information Director

T

he Rectory School athletics program expanded once again this winter. With the grand opening of the Hale Family YMCA Youth and Family Center in the neighboring town of Putnam last year, the school finally had a pool within a proximity that lent itself to Rectory’s use. Students were very excited to finally have the opportunity to dive into the sport of swimming!

First-year boarding faculty member and math teacher Megan Farrell brought with her a breadth of knowledge and experience as a swimmer. She competed in the freestyle at Providence College for four years. Farrell and fellow boarding faculty member and math teacher Erin Bradley have great things to say about this inaugural season for the Rectory Water Wolves.

Coach Farrell says that what she appreciated the most about this season is watching the camaraderie develop between all the swimmers.

The team is made up of 19 students ranging from sixth to ninth grade. They work together and motivate each other on a daily basis. Each swimmer improved drastically since the start of the season in November.

Both coaches are delighted to have had the opportunity to be a part of this special first season and agree that it has gone swimmingly!

Alumni Feature: Brandon Keith ’84

By Amy Lusa, Alumni Relations and Special Events Coordinator

Although Brandon Keith, class of 1984, was only at Rectory for a short period of time, he and his family credit that time with influencing the path his life took. Brandon came to Rectory at the age of 12 after being diagnosed with dyslexia and struggling academically, and in two years his learning experience was transformed. In his mother’s words, “Rectory School was the answer to our prayers… In two years [Rectory] helped prepare Brandon to face the world with the knowledge that he could and would be successful in any field he chose.”

D

uring his time at Rectory, he recalls a favorite teacher who was an avid photographer and model builder, referred to as “Stretch” by the students. He also remembers getting to know his dorm mates and building friendships with them. Brandon lived in Dining Dorm and Fisher Cottage during his time as a student. He has not kept in touch with any of his school friends, but remembers spending time with Phil Cook, Peter Toot, Billy Suggs, and others.

Perhaps the most important thing Brandon remembers about his time at Rectory is how the school helped him to develop a sense of confidence in himself and in his studies.

Brandon credits his time at Rectory as helping him with his dyslexia.

Brandon’s daughter, Samantha, also has dyslexia. When asked his opinion on how education for students with dyslexia has changed since his time at school, Brandon said the main difference is that dyslexia is better understood and often involves earlier intervention than when he was a student. He reports that his daughter faces many of the same problems that he does, but that she has been able to attend a school that focuses on students with dyslexia and has not had to deal with the same frustrations he had when he was younger.

In Brandon’s opinion, the key is getting support early and helping students come up with strategies to cope with challenges in the classroom. He believes strongly that his dyslexia has been a positive thing in his life and would not change a thing, despite the definite challenges he has faced. Brandon reports that many suc-

cessful people, including many entrepreneurs, have dyslexia, and it just means “your brain works differently,” and “you either give up or you have to learn to work harder than most people.” Brandon also credits computers and tools like spell check with making a significant difference in his life.

After leaving Rectory, Brandon graduated from high school and went on to receive a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Today Brandon is the Senior Director of United States Sales for Mazor Robotics, a leading innovator in spinal surgery technology. He is in charge of sales and operations for the Eastern half of the United States. Mazor Robotics manufactures robotics for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons who specialize in spine surgery.

He has been with Mazor Robotics for four years, and has been in the Medical Device space for 20 years.

He lives in Maryland with his wife, Kathy, and their two children, Samantha and Ben. Brandon and his family hope that his story will encourage students who may currently be facing the same struggles he did at their age. Brandon first enrolled at Rectory feeling discouraged and frustrated, and when he left he radiated confidence and a willingness to put in the work needed to achieve his goals. In his opinion, the most important thing Brandon’s family ever did for him was to send him to Rectory.

RECTORY SCHOOL

Alumni Feature: Kevin Tubridy ’60

By Amy Lusa, Alumni Relations and Special Events Coordinator

I

recently had the opportunity to talk with Kevin Tubridy, owner of New England Design, Inc., and a member of the Rectory class of 1960. Kevin has been Rectory’s Master Planner and Board Member during the past six years. From Rectory student to Master Planner and Design Manager for Rectory’s facilities projects, Kevin’s journey is an interesting one: Q. How long were you at Rectory and why was Rectory your choice of schools?

A. Up to the eighth grade, my education was at a local parochial school. Classes often had 50 or more students. All subjects were taught by a single teacher. I spent most of my time drawing pictures in the back of the classroom. Needless to say, I was a problem student. My parents thought that it was time for me to have some academic discipline and challenges. After looking at several schools, they chose Rectory for my eighth grade.

Q. Did that turn out to be a good choice?

A. Without a doubt! Even back in the dark ages, the classes at Rectory were small and individual attention was given to each student. I no longer had anywhere to hide. Today, that same philosophy is instilled in all of the faculty to an even higher degree.

so it took a lot of one-on-one time to get me there. To the shock of my parents, I came home at the end of the school year five inches taller and with an acceptance to a respected prep school.

Q. How did New England Design begin?

A. I started New England Design myself about 40 years ago.

It was a very small personalized design firm doing minor project planning and residential design. At that time, being hired to do a garage was a big deal. Eventually larger and varied opportunities came along, and I knew that the firm was going to have to dramatically change to take advantage of those opportunities.

Q. How did you change the company?

A. My father had once said, “Kevin, if you are going to be successful, then hire those who are smarter than yourself—and for you, that won’t be a problem.” Around 25 years ago, New England Design teamed up with some fabulously talented individuals: Karl Norton, of Karl Norton Architect, LLC; architect John Everett, a design guru; architect Michael Sottolano, who will tackle just about anything; N. Paul Frishman of Nick 606, Inc., who produces the most realistic and creative renderings in the country; and Susan Roarabaugh, the face of our company—who is also the glue that holds all of our group together—and so many specialty consultants. My role as principal of New England Design is Master Planner and Design Management. What this new team now allowed us to do was to develop concepts and plans for some of the most interesting projects that we have been fortunate to have come our way.

Q. Were you a boarder or a day student?

A. I was a boarder in the Memorial Dorm. Interestingly, I was able to see my same room before our design team developed the plans for a complete renovation of that dorm. While maintaining the exterior character of the building, they were able to modernize all of the interiors and mechanical systems. I don’t miss the old room.

Q. How did Rectory influence your life?

A. Rectory had caring and patient faculty who gave me an appreciation and enthusiasm for learning; however, I was still a kid 20 THE RECTORY NEWS / ANNUAL REPORT

Kevin and his wife, Betsy, with Marcia Williams at the dedication of Rectory’s new Admissions Building and entrance.

RECTORY SCHOOL Q. What did the Headmaster ask for your team to do for Rectory?

Headmaster Fred Williams and Director of Development, Freddy Nagle present a plaque of appreciation to New England Design members Karl Norton, John Everett, and Susan Roarabaugh.

Q. While I have heard of many of your projects, what are the types of projects your design group has been involved with?

A. That would take a very long time to go over, but in a précis format, we have developed a multitude of clients, including Steve Wynn and his Mirage Resort Projects, who always demanded the ultimate effort. We have done retail projects for Mohegan Sun. We designed the Child and Family Development Center for Eastern Connecticut State University. We were fortunate to be chosen by the band KISS to do their prototype KISS Café in Myrtle Beach. We all spent 17 years developing plans for Foxwoods Resort and Casino (from day one of the Bingo Hall onward) and all of the community buildings for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe. We have done retail centers, hotels, banks, restaurants, offices, condominiums, several projects for Pomfret School, and very importantly, scores of residences, including the restoration of period homes. Many of our clients have become close personal friends.

Q. Your team is constantly making its mark on the Rectory Campus. Can you tell me how that came about?

A. Headmaster Fred Williams contacted me about six years ago, after seeing some of the Team’s work at Pomfret School, including the Lodge, Boathouse, Tennis Pavilion, and the new artificial turf fields. Both Fred and I were serving on the Pomfret Board of Directors at the time. Fred, for those that know him, can be very convincing in such a subtle yet direct way, so that it is not feasible to say no to any of his requests. You have to remember I am still a Rectory graduate, so I do what the Headmaster asks. Sometimes.

A. We reviewed many individual projects with the Headmaster and staff and quickly realized that we needed to get our hands around multiple entities and how the campus functioned as a whole. We needed to examine the use of existing spaces and the connections between those spaces in order to understand the school’s future needs 5 and 10 years down the road. And with technology changing so quickly, whatever brick and mortar projects we considered would have to provide the flexibility to accommodate those changes. This was when Fred Williams decided to initiate a Master Plan. That plan took the better part of a year to come to fruition, with input from practically everyone involved with the campus and, of course, the Board of Directors. There were some obvious needs that immediately jumped to the forefront, like creating a new face to the school with the new Admissions Building and entrance, and the long overdue complete renovation of Memorial Dorm (not having been done since the beginning of time). The amphitheater, a place for a cauldron of events, interaction, ceremony, and west-facing relaxation; and the new Learning Center, where the Elementary School and

Individualized Instruction Program (IIP) will now be in a state-ofthe-art facility that combines sustainable design practices, flexible learning spaces, and an abundance of natural light. I think these projects will provide some fabulous opportunities for the students and the teaching staff at Rectory.

Q. What would your advice be to the present students at Rectory?

A. I would say follow your passion and make sure that you get a copy of your graduation certificate. They tell me that they can’t find any evidence of mine. I think John Bigelow burnt it. He did have standards! *Headmaster Disclaimer: Kevin did receive his diploma.

A devoted history teacher, first and foremost, John also served as a basketball and baseball coach, residential advisor, and role model for generations of students at a variety of independent schools in CT, including Rectory School, Choate School, and Avon Old Farms School. During his long distinguished teaching career, John was appointed to several administrative positions, including dean of students, dean of college counseling, assistant headmaster and Headmaster of Rectory School, where he served with distinction from 1974-1990.

After his retirement from Rectory School, John returned to Avon Old Farms School, where he worked as a consultant until 1994, at which time he and his wife, Millie, moved to Saratoga Springs, NY. There, John continued to teach, this time in his role as an admissions officer at Skidmore College for 14 more years. As an admissions of-

ficer, John represented Skidmore on the road, interviewed countless applicants on campus, and was known to submit insightful and detailed reports on their behalf.

In recent years, John continued to serve as a teacher on any subject to all those fortunate enough to cross his path. Few left a conversation with him either uninformed or unimproved. In his spare time, John read voraciously, walked miles with Millie and their dogs, and supported and also second-guessed his beloved New York Giants and Boston Red Sox. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and the generations of students whom he served for all his days.

In addition to his parents, John is predeceased by his sisters: Shirley Green Downes, Joan Green Brennan, and Loyola Green Murphy.

John is survived by his wife of 58 years, Millie; sons John and his wife, Alison, Peter and his wife, Catherine, Daniel and his wife, Patricia, and Matthew and his wife, Jennifer; his eight grandchildren, Alexander, Nathaniel, Garrett, Luke, Eliza, Jessica, Charlotte and Oliver; and his great grandson, Jackson.

John was laid to rest with military honors in the Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery on October 13, 2016.

Dear Friends, I am thrilled to acknowledge our many supporters in this year’s Report of Giving. Thank you for your belief in our school’s mission and future. Your philanthropic commitment to Rectory School has a tremendous impact on today’s students and the legacy of our school.

During our 2015–2016 fiscal year more than 620 members of our community supported the Annual Fund. This vital revenue source ensures that year after year we are able to enhance the Rectory experience for today’s students and faculty. Donor support, at whatever level possible, allows Rectory to explore new initiatives, acquire new resources, and modernize our school program, all in an effort to assure an exceptional educational experience.

Additionally, we are grateful to our donors who supported our capital projects on campus. While the Annual Fund provides immediate use funds, our capital projects address our strategic, long-term needs. With this support in mind, we are thrilled to announce the completion of Master Plan Phase I. This project provided enhancements and additions to Grosvenor House and the admissions entrance, a full renovation of Memorial Dormitory, the construction of new faculty housing, and Rectory’s new academic building. This new academic space will house The Hale Elementary School Wing and The Henry B. Smith ’76 Learning Center.

Ashley Goethals Associate Director of Development ashley.goethals@rectoryschool.org

In addition to our capital projects, we continue to raise funds to meet The Tang Challenge. We remain ever grateful to Oscar Tang ’53 and Kevin Tang ’82 for their commitment to Rectory School, which represents the largest donation in the School’s history. When complete, The Tang Challenge will enhance compensation and benefits for one of our most valued components of our School, our faculty. We’ve made significant progress towards our goal and are encouraged to see what the next year brings.

Amy Lusa Alumni & Events Coordinator amy.lusa@rectoryschool.org

In recognition of the most important aspect of Rectory—its people.

Oscar Tang ’53 and his son, Kevin Tang ’82 have made a transformative gift to enhance faculty compensation and employee benefits. In addition to their outright $2.5 million donation, the Tangs are offering the following challenge until June 30, 2018: they will provide a 1:1 match for all gifts made by donors towards this endowment up to $2.5 million. Please join the Tangs and our family of donors and become part of this inspiring gift to honor Rectory’s legendary faculty.
