FROM THE HEADMASTER

WHAT'S THE

DIFFERENCE? We often hear this phrase tossed out when people are faced with a dilemma and options are too similar to distinguish. We sometimes hear this phrase as a deflection when people don’t want to make a decision. We sometimes hear this phrase out of frustration when people don’t know what else to do. But, when we apply this phrase to us as people, the difference makes all the difference in the world. The theme of this issue of the Connection is “what makes us different makes us stronger.” We grow stronger in ourselves through both our differences and our similarities. We can learn from others, even from those we don’t agree with or have trouble relating to. Where differences provide the contrast to help sharpen our interactions with each other, our similarities act as the bonding agent, the glue that holds us together as a community.

"Where differences provide the contrast to help sharpen our interactions with each other, our similarities act as the bonding agent, the glue that holds us together as a community." By Tom Davis // Headmaster

Every one of us is a unique individual. Based on what we know about genetics, there have never been two identical human beings and there never will be two identical human beings, ever. It is statistically possible but practically impossible. We are all different from each other. Even “identical twins” have differences that cause them to be unique. We all have different experiences in life, different influences that mold and shape us and cause us to be the unique persons we are. Granted, we all have similarities with each other, but we are all different, too. This doesn’t make one of us “better” than another; it just makes us unique. It is this uniqueness, both the similarities and the differences, which makes us stronger and makes us better when we work together in a collaborative effort. Recognizing our own unique talents and skills helps us function better as a team. What would an orchestra sound like if everyone was a violin, or wanted to be a violin, or, worse yet, thought of themselves as a violin when their talents were really as a trombone? It would be cacophony rather than a beautiful symphony. I am reminded of the response of one of our 6th grade students during the presentation of the special chair that her team had created for one of our Lower School teachers. The teacher asked what the girl had learned through the process of creating the chair, and the student responded that it was sometimes difficult to convince her teammates that she always had the “best” idea when faced with a problem. The teacher followed up – “How did you handle that?” The student thought for a moment and then responded, “I learned that if we all listened to each other’s ideas, we came up with a better solution than any one of us had on our own.” That is where differences made these students stronger. We hope that all of our students, as they grow through their experiences at Collegiate and interact with their classmates in a variety of settings, will learn to respect the uniqueness of every other person. We hope that our students will learn to treat each other with honesty and integrity and humility and a caring spirit. If they learn that, they will definitely be stronger people.

“What’s the difference?” Let the difference be each one of us. 3

STUDENT LED CONFERENCES // By Shirley Meissner, 2nd Grade Teacher

Students in the 1st and 2nd grades of the Lower School present Student Led Conferences to their parents twice a year, sharing progress as well as goals they would like to achieve in curricular areas. The students share with active examples of their reading, writing, mathematics, technology, and presentation skills. This methodology of Teacher-Student-Parent Conferencing is catching on in educational communities like ours, and has actually been used in our Middle School for several years. As students take ownership of their conferences, they feel empowered to participate in formats of instruction that meet their individual learning styles. Students can recognize whether they are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners, and shape their study practices to fit their strengths. Parents are equally interested

in the students showing them what they have learned, instead of just telling them. Some students choose to share Daily Sentence Editing with a Smart Board tool, allowing them to correct not only proofreading markings but also to demonstrate their understanding of parts-of-speech identification. Other students share reading on the iPad in a Reading A to Z app, where their teacher can listen and provide feedback via a Reading Running Record. Some students select mathematics as their form of presentation, teaching their parents to play everyday math games that help support their acquisition of math facts and terminology. Finally, other students share their writing examples from The ABC Book in 2nd grade or the First Grade Travel booklet. Parents ask questions and participate in the instruction shared by their student learners.

GIRLS TECH TRIP // By Jessica Mallard, 7th Grade Math Teacher, and Maricar Harris, US Chemistry Teacher Eighth grade Math teacher Doug Bradley recently returned from the third annual Girls’ Tech Trip to California. Eleven rising freshmen and one rising senior sponsor joined Mr. Bradley, Mrs. Harris, and Ms. Mallard on this unique Collegiate adventure. They toured Mendel Biological Solutions, Facebook, Salesforce, Dropbox, Tesla, and Snap to explore career paths in science and technology, and hear valuable advice from female executives who work

in Silicon Valley. The girls also toured San Jose State University and visited the Stanford campus. Pairs researched each company and presented information to the large group each morning. Since the house they stayed in was near the beach, they got to play in the waves, too! Evenings were spent enjoying time with each other. This trip is a great component of WCS’s commitment to preparing students for 21st century skills!

GL BAL

GATHERINGS // By Meghan Smith, 6th Grade Global Studies Teacher

Socrates once said, “True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.” This year, the 6th grade students gained a bit more wisdom about the world around them through Global Gatherings. Global Gatherings was a time set aside for students to hear firsthand about the life, culture, and history of countries around the world, courtesy of the global community represented at WCS. In December, students heard from Stella Galichia about Estonia, Dr. Eva Henry about Taiwan, and Alexandra Palmer about South Africa. Students learned so much from each of these international citizens. A second Global Gathering occurred in February. Hind Wakil shared about growing up in Iraq, Shefali Sharma spoke about her recent family trip to India, while Mzia Gibson discussed living in the country of Georgia. Not only did these women share their personal experiences, but they also brought food and items that represented their countries for students to enjoy. We wrapped up our year with a third Gathering in May. Josh Griffis shared about his eightmonth trip in South Sudan at an orphanage and school in Yei, while Jasmin Silence discussed growing up in Germany and flying KC-135s all over the world for the United States Air Force. Having the opportunity to have parents and teachers share about their firsthand experiences living and working in other countries made the world come alive in an authentic and genuine experience that the 6th graders will not forget.

AN UNLIK FRIENDSHI At first glance, Jason Liu and David Trombold are different. Jason is from China, while David is from the United States. Jason is of Generation Z, while David is a Baby Boomer. Jason says he is a libertarian, while David is more conservative. Different in ways that may cause waves in other relationships. However, geography and Collegiate brought Jason and David together and gave them opportunities for shared experiences that have made those differences far less significant.

In 2014, Jason decided, for no particular reason (or at least not one he can remember), to come to the United States from China for high school. He found Collegiate through a school catalog, noting it “looked interesting, with lots of activities, clubs, and classes offered.” Despite his Foreign American English teacher’s warning that “there is nothing there” in Kansas, Jason came to Wichita Collegiate for high school.

despite the fact that he wasn’t part of the choir… yet. (Jason did join the following year, “probably because I was moved by it, seeing them sing in Italy.”) “Thought I might starve or something,” Jason joked, recalling he would have been home alone while David chaperoned the trip and Louise traveled elsewhere that week. When asked about the trip, Jason was quick to name Florence as a favorite destination. “I liked the architecture. Italy does a mighty fine job preserving. The Church of Santa Maria del Fiore was magnificent!” All of Italy, though, impressed Jason with its food. “They serve an appetizer, first entrée, second entrée, and dessert at every meal – definitely the highlight of the trip. And I stopped two or three times a day for gelato; probably spent quite a bit of money on gelato!”

"Differences are just that. Preferences are not right or wrong, just different."

David first came to know Jason the following year when Jason was a sophomore in his Chemistry class, but got to know him even better during an annual canoe trip for upper high school students. Jason had expressed interest in going on the trip, and it was then that Jason indicated he was looking for a place to stay his junior year. “I said my wife Louise and I were interested, and it worked out eventually that he came to stay with us.” While there are always adjustments, expectations, things that are important to establish and take care of when moving in with strangers (or even friends), David says Jason “fit right in.” “Seems like I get along with most kinds of people,” Jason says, and David completely agrees. “Jason’s really unique this way – I think he’s very adventurous and really likes to get involved.” Just as he was adventurous enough for a canoe trip with new people, Jason was adventurous enough to go on the biennial Italy Trip with the WCS Madrigals, 12

“Jason likes to eat and knows good food when he tastes it,” David says. Shared meals and new restaurants became opportunities for bonding between the two. They recommend Oh Yeah! China Bistro for its authentic Chinese cuisine, Yokohama Ramen Joint in Delano for good noodles, and Gangnam Korean Grill and Bar, “if you’re feeling carnivorous,” as Jason would say.

Another bonding opportunity – movies! Jason and David would watch movies together, choosing titles from lists on IMDB. Among the most memorable: Fight Club (“The first rule of Fight Club is we don’t talk about Fight Club,” Jason remembers.); The Shawshank Redemption; all of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies one Christmas break; and Sharknado (“wish we hadn’t seen that one,” they both agree). Beyond meals and movies, Jason and David both say the other opened doors for novel experiences during their time together. For Jason, going to church was something new. For David, he learned more about gardening from Jason, who has been “a tremendous help. He has logged more than 120 hours since his sophomore year helping in the garden. He loved to pick strawberries (and

sample - totally expected and acceptable!) right up to his graduation.” Two different people sharing passions, hobbies, and experiences to build relationship. When asked whether people are fundamentally different or not, Jason was quick to answer no. David joked, “maybe… if you’re old and set in your ways.” Both recount conversations where they disagreed – talks on politics, economics, and even some science topics – but both concluded, “Differences are just that. Preferences are not right or wrong, just different.” Jason and David now have a title in common – alumnus of Wichita Collegiate School, one of the Class of 2018 and one of the Class of 1971. Both alumni, both passionate about good food, good movies, and good gardening. When you look at these two through that lens, their differences seem far less significant. And maybe we should do the same in our own relationships and with our own differences. “If you get to a place where you can’t talk without getting angry, take a break and come back to it,” Jason says. “You should view people as people first and not as American or Chinese, black or white. The differences are secondary.”

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST MALONE SCHOLAR! A funny thing happened to Sabrina Wilson when she and her fellow USTA tennis players came to Collegiate to play in a tournament in July of 2017…she became intrigued about Wichita Collegiate School! After noticing the signage about how many championships Collegiate has won in tennis, Sabrina was very impressed, and thought to herself, “What IS this place?” A couple of days later, Sabrina’s father, Jeff, researched WCS online, and Sabrina looked it up as well. After seeing what Collegiate offered, both in terms of challenging college preparatory academics and outstanding programs in drama and music, she said that she “begged” her parents to look into it. Eventually, they found out about the Malone Scholars Program. Shadowing in the 8th and 9th grades in late March convinced Sabrina that Collegiate was where she needed to be. In her applicant questionnaire, Sabrina wrote, “I think that Collegiate could help me go above and beyond with my education. It seems to have a quieter, more focused learning environment that would help me thrive. I also think that your schoolwork will be more challenging and will push me to do my best.” Sabrina’s application was very impressive. She has earned straight As for years, and was the only 8th grader in an Algebra class full of freshmen. According to her teacher, “the other students loved having her in class and were not afraid to ask Sabrina for help.” In addition to being an exemplary student, Sabrina has been active in myriad clubs, sports, and organizations at Winfield Middle School. She was on the Scholars Bowl team and the math team, and participated in several spelling bees. During the summer, Sabrina volunteers at the local library, where she helps with programming for children. Competition for the Malone Scholars Program was particularly strong this year, as we could only name one additional scholar. After interiewing wonderful candidates, Sabrina was selected as our newest Malone Scholar. Upon learning of her selection, Sabrina said, “I can’t even describe how grateful I am for this opportunity. I feel like I have a whole new world at my fingertips, and I can’t wait to explore my interests at Collegiate.” Her parents are excited about the opportunity as well. Jeff Wilson commented, “Once Sabrina found out how closely Wichita Collegiate matched her interests, Lyndy and I were focused on trying to make it work. The Malone Family Foundation made this possible, and we are very grateful and excited for this opportunity.” We are thrilled that Sabrina will be joining us in August as our newest Malone Scholar!

WCS accepts applications from prospective students for the Malone Scholars Program each year. Want to learn more? Visit www.wcsks.com/Malone-Scholars. 19

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

SHAPE AMERICA CONFERENCE // By Tiffany Lippoldt, Middle School Physical Education Instructor I would consider my trip to Nashville an overall success. I got more game/ activity ideas for Middle School students, met other P.E. teachers from Wichita as well as from all over the U.S., and reconnected with some teachers I haven’t seen in a long time. I also came away with some new equipment ideas. I wanted to learn about new large group games for when boys’ and girls’ classes combine. From the sessions I attended, I learned four-corner capture the flag and rock, paper, scissor baseball. Our students love playing capture the flag so I was excited to learn of a different version. The four corners variation provides more movement and opportunities for teamwork and strategy, as there are twice as many teams. I also like that the game is very modifiable, being able to change offense, defense, objects, and the goal of the game. Rock, paper, scissor baseball is an activity I can incorporate into students’ laps or as an activity by itself. I saw a ton of other great elementary-age activities and hope to modify them for Middle School. I went to two other sessions and am excited to bring them to WCS – double-dutch and drumfit – most likely activities our students have never tried before. I hadn’t thought of doing double-dutch with my girls, but I enjoyed doing the exercises and think that the girls will, too! Drumfit is a dance and drumming workout using an exercise ball and drumsticks – an activity I think all ages would enjoy! Another idea I LOVE is something called “Train a Teacher.” I would do this just with my 8th grade girls, but they would get the opportunity to train a teacher at WCS. The teachers and students wouldn’t know who they were working with until the end, and so would

communicate through me and through surveys and questionnaires. This project is hands-on and requires the girls to apply their knowledge of fitness and exercise to create a workout regimen for their teachers and to make modifications as needed.

There were also some great tips, tricks, and pieces of equipment I learned about. One tip with push-ups is to have kids do “kipping” push-ups to help them feel more success while still working on building arm strength. Push-ups are an exercise that a lot of students and athletes struggle with, so I am excited to show them this variation. I also learned of an app that students could download onto their computers to make posters to advertise things but also to create workout regimens to send to their teacher during “Train a Teacher.” I saw an agenda for students to use for all of their classes that also allowed them space to write down other things related to health and fitness, such as food choices and a mini workout log. They could bring the agenda to P.E. class and jot down notes and ideas regarding their health and fitness goals/needs. While at the conference, I purchased FloorMarx – a new, improved way to mark the gym floor without the need of a bunch of floor tape and cones. It’s like a dry-erase marker for the gym floor. I am excited to try this! I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to go to such a big conference and see so many great physical educators. Thank you to the Ford Foundation for allowing me this amazing opportunity, as it will positively affect me and my students and classes. I look forward to putting these activities and ideas into action this year or next.

// By Kathy Wagner, Early Childhood Physical Education Instructor Attending the national SHAPE AMERICA conference in Nashville, Tennessee, was a rewarding experience for me. I went with the idea of focusing on physical activities and games for Early Childhood students in a physical education setting. Although I was able to do this to some extent, the sessions did not pertain as much to the very young child as I would have hoped. Therefore, I had to slightly change my focus. This turned out to be a positive change, however, as I came away with more ideas that I could share with Early Childhood classroom teachers, aides, and playground supervisors.

FACULTY & STAFF

RETIREES

The term physical literacy was in use at many of the sessions I attended. This is a way in which teachers (including physical education teachers) can implement reading, writing, phonics, letter/number/color recognition, math skills, and any other desired academic content into a classroom setting or gymnasium using physical activity as a means of reinforcing the information. There were some excellent sessions on this topic that used inexpensive equipment as well as some technology. With current research showing the benefits of physical activity partnered with academic content, I think the information I came away with can be quite helpful to my colleagues. I plan to share it with them. Along with the inclusion of physical activity with academic content, brain breaks in the classroom remained a big focus of session presenters. Ways to get children up and moving periodically during class are good to rejuvenate them and get them back on task. I even went to one session where the presenter had simple dances that children did behind their desks or in an open classroom space. It was fun! One of the highlights of any convention is the exhibit hall. This area showcases new equipment and materials and lets attendees view, up close, much of the equipment that presenters are using in their sessions. I enjoyed this very much, as I am always looking for new and fun equipment. I visited with vendors about creative nature-based playground markings for our outdoor play space and also had the chance to visit with the national American Heart Association representatives about upcoming changes in CPR requirements that will directly affect our trainings at Wichita Collegiate School. The best part of any convention, in my opinion, is how much I learn from other teachers attending the convention. The opportunity to network and share information and resources with other people from around the country is invaluable. Teachers are so creative and resourceful and when you sit next to someone at a session and listen to them share how they do a game or activity, or how they would vary or adapt the activity being presented, it is extremely beneficial. I almost always come away from a workshop with a new idea from someone I visited with at a session. Outside of convention hours, I enjoyed listening to the music in Nashville, the highlight being Tony Bennett at the Ryman Auditorium, home of the original Grand Ole Opry. The man is timeless!! My sincerest thanks to the committee for selecting me as a recipient for the Ford Foundation Grant. I appreciate the opportunity to expand my knowledge and bring back new ideas and information to my students and colleagues.

Lynn DeVries is retiring for the second time and moving to Idaho with her family. Lynn has served as the 6th grade English teacher for the past six years. She has been instrumental in implementing writing across the curriculum and coordinating our annual Spelling Bee. She is a masterful and creative teacher who designs the perfect lessons to help her students learn to write. She even wrote a book for 6th grade English with structured exercises to help her students learn different types of writing from short stories to newspaper articles to literary analyses. When you watch Lynn teach, you know you are watching a master teacher. Her lessons are unique, fun, and rigorous, and she is in tune with how her students are responding. She knows just what to do to help a student who may be struggling. We wish Lynn the best in her retirement and hopes she comes back and visit us when she is in town.

Pride & Prejudice Upper School

By Emily Goodpasture // Director Jane Austen famously stated, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." We saw this play out on the Collegiate Black Box stage this past February with the Upper School production of Pride and Prejudice. The classic characters of Elizabeth Bennet, her silly sisters, the proud Mr. Darcy, and charming Mr. Bingley graced our stage, retelling this beloved romantic novel by Jane Austen. Austin Schwartz as Mr. Darcy and Hope Smith as Elizabeth Bennett led the cast. Max Salemi and Mallory Wells were perfect as the henpecked husband and his overbearing and gossipy wife. The rest of the cast included Belle Henshall, Anna Caughlin, Zoe Corrigan, Lolly Newman, Aaliyah Muthoni, Avasar Sheth, Justin Highbarger, Lauren Caughlin, Abbie Carpenter, Connor Sweetman, Liberty Sementelli, Sydni Phu, Charles Lee, Noah Mouffarrij, Kennedy Brandenburg, Joseph Kelly, Nate Trout, Paige Lamkins, Abby McCoy and Evan Schelton.

Musical Middle School

By Emily Mallard '22 // 8th Grade Student This year, the cast of the 7th and 8th grade Middle School musical put on a production of “SHREK.” This charming musical tells the story of how a young ogre is thrown out to live on his own at the age of seven, believing he will never be accepted. He grows up to see that the world is not as terrible as he believes it to be. With the theatrical guidance of Sharon Garton and musical instruction of Ruth Powell, the stage of the Galichia Family Auditorium was brought to life. The actors learned how to not just recite their lines but how to truly become their characters. Not only did the actors sing their hearts out, but they performed choreography taught by the incredible Andrea Purdy. The dances really brought along the story, but costumes played a huge part in this performance as well. The students couldn’t have put on this show without their outstanding costume designer, Chadwick Armstrong. The stage was lit up with dozens of unique characters, whether it be a trio of mice, a fashionable wolf, or a talking donkey! Everyone came together to put on this amazing performance. They showed great amounts of grit, coming to rehearsals five days a week for hours each night. Their hard work paid off, as they put on a show that many would describe as funny, charming, and overall incredible!

Boys' Basketball Upper School By Mitch Fiegel // Coach When we get to the end of a season, I am always reminded of the quote by Phil Jackson that we have used in our lockerroom over the years: “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey in the end that matters.” The test of time has reminded me more than once just how true that is. Some TEAMS have been together forever, know their roles, know the system and they just hit the ground running. We had a group that we thought could be really good by the end of the season, but we knew it would take time. I take a great deal of satisfaction, and I hope our players will as well, in the fact that, in our last game of the season, we were playing at a Championship Caliber. At the end of the day, that is the only goal I have for any TEAM I have ever coached. To Grant, Cody, Shishir, Riley, Nate and Adam – all I can say to you is thanks. Thanks for all your time, effort, and sweat. You have made your mark on this program and your school. That is the best compliment that I can pay you. To the rest of you guys coming back, go to work, get in the gym and get in that weight room and embrace the grunt work that allows for success. When you feel like taking a day off, think about Andale or any of the TEAMS we play, think about how they celebrate whenever they sneak one from us. Let’s make sure that, for the next few years, the celebrations belong to us.

Girls' Basketball Upper School By Jeff Skar // Coach The big news with the Girls’ Basketball program in 2017-18 was numbers. For the first time in several years, Collegiate girls basketball had enough girls out for the team to play full Varsity, JV, and C-team schedules. That’s a big deal! We were able to have competitive practices and a lot of girls playing a lot of basketball. A large freshman class, playing and doing well at all three levels, should enable the Collegiate girls to rebuild. On the court, the season started with a win over Pueblo (CO) Centennial and two competitive losses to western Kansas powerhouses Scott City and Holcomb. Wins over Clearwater and Mulvane closed out the first semester. After the break, there were some tough losses to some really good basketball teams, but the girls continued to work hard and compete. Following a tough loss in substate, three Collegiate girls received post-season honors. Senior Kennedy Brandenburg was named to AVCTL-IV 2nd Team and to the All-Tournament Team in Garden City. Maddie Reed was also named 2nd Team and to the All-Tournament Team at the Mulvane Tournament. A’Niah Bell received All-League Honorable Mention. Well done!

Bowling Upper School By Jack Stewart '13 // Coach The Spartan Bowlers had a season full of learning, practice, many personal bests, and fun together as a team. Up against tough opponents, the Spartans not only got to experience high-level bowling, but also in many instances found themselves rising to the occasion and contending with more experienced players. We expect many stellar returning players next year, one of whom is incoming senior Cole Runyan, who qualified individually for and represented WCS at the 2018 State Bowling Tournament. Cole also was named to the 1st Team 2018 AllKansas 4A-1A Bowling Team, which is a prestigious honor! We are looking forward to another season of improvement and building on the hard work and strides made by the players last season. Catch us next January at The Alley Wichita!

Track & Field Upper School By Troy Black // Coach The 2018 Upper School Track Team consisted of six girls and 20 boys. These numbers were up slightly over the past few years. The highlight of the season was Lakelin Conrad winning the 3200 and 1600 in Class 4A at the state meet. In both events, he set school records. He beat his 3200 meter record with a time of 9:35.15 and he beat the 1600 meter record, held by Matt Norton, with a time of 4:20.13. To understand this accomplishment, you must know that he also was one of the best tennis players in the state in Class 4A as well and competed in tennis at the same time he was competing in track. This makes this accomplishment that much more impressive. Grant Henry also had a great season. Grant took 2nd in the 1600 meter run and was league champ in the 3200 meter run. Grant had a great high school career and was one of the hardest workers we have ever had at this school. We are going to miss watching Grant and Lakelin run. Another big accomplishment for the team was that most of the members had personal bests almost every meet and at the end of the season, which is almost unheard of. We had some good young kids and hope to have even more out this next year. I want to thank Coach Ensz, Coach Elkouri, Coach Powell, and Coach Weber for all their hard work with the kids. We have a great track coaching staff, and each one of them is very passionate about the sport.

Girls' Swim Upper School By Katie Idbeis // Coach

The girls’ swim team finished another recordsetting season with a flourish at the KSHSAA Girls 5-1A State Swim Meet in Topeka. Our season began and finished at Capitol Federal Natatorium, and there were many grueling 5:30 a.m. practices, new events swum, and season and personal best times achieved along the way. Returning seniors Natalie Freed and Calli Pirner led the team, joined by fellow senior Sydni Phu in her first year on the team. Sophomore Hannah Rai and freshmen Skylar Haag, Alessandra Vedder, and Johanna Yang rounded out our team.

All seven girls contributed to our team score at the AVCTL League Meet, where we placed 7th. The relay team of Yang, Pirner, Freed, and Haag finished 4th in the 200 Medley relay and 7th in the 200 Free relay. In the 400 Free relay, Vedder, Pirner, Rai, and Phu placed 9th. Individually: Natalie Freed- 200 Free (2nd) & 100 Fly (4th), Skylar Haag- 200 Free (7th) & 100 Free (5th), Johanna Yang- 50 Free (4th) & 100 Back (5th), Calli Pirner- 50 Free (16th), Alessandra Vedder- 200 Free (21st) & 100 Fly (17th), Hannah Rai- 100 Fly (15th) & 100 Breast (20th), Sydni Phu- 50 Free (29th) & 100 Back (21st). We competed in the 5-1A classification at State. The fastest 16 times from Friday’s meet went on to swim in Saturday’s finals. The 200 Medley relay of Johanna Yang, Calli Pirner, Natalie Freed, and Skylar Haag finished 16th in prelims, just squeaking into the consolation final with a season best time. On Saturday, they moved all the way up to 9th place and broke the school record! In the 200 Free, Natalie Freed finished in 8th place. In prelims, she went a lifetime best and broke her own school record by four seconds, going 2:03.59! Natalie also swam the 100 Fly and clocked another lifetime best in prelims and qualified for the A final. She finished in 5th place, marking her second trip to the podium at state! Skylar Haag swam the 200 IM and went a season best time by nearly 10 seconds and qualified for Saturday’s finals session, where she placed 14th! In the 50 Free, Johanna Yang swam a season best time and placed 26th. Johanna also swam the 100 Back and placed 26th. The 400 Free relay team of Natalie Freed, Johanna Yang, Calli Pirner, and Skylar Haag had an awesome prelims swim, dropping over 10 seconds off their season best time and qualifying for the consolation final. In the very last event of the meet, the girls dug deep and really fought for each other, and were 3 seconds faster! They were less than .5 seconds off the school record and finished 12th.

Boys' Swim Upper School

By Mitchell Wagner // Coach The Spartan boys had another great season in the water. The team consisted of eight swimmers. They finished 6th place in the AVCTL League and had state qualifiers for the fourth straight season. Drew Brophy swam the 50 Freestyle and 100 Backstroke at the state swim meet and was a part of the 200 Free and 400 Free relays with, Brooks White, Jack Ranallo, and Max Coleman. One of the best highlights of the season was at the Wichita Invite at Wichita Swim Club when our 200 Free Relay beat East High in the 1-on-1 final. We were the definite underdogs but Brophy pulled out his fastest split of the season to catch East High for the win. Coleman, Brophy, Ranallo, and Myles Parkhurst were our four seniors and their leadership will be missed going into next season. Looking forward to another great year of Spartan swimming next year!

Natalie Freed was named to the 2nd Team, All-State Team, and we finished 14th as a team!

Boys' Baseball Upper School By Joe Gehrer // Coach The Spartans opened the season with 12 dedicated players – the fewest in recent program history – led by seniors Riley Dick, Colin Egan, Nate Kelley, Myles Parkhurst, and manager Olivia Eubank. We are so thankful for all the seniors and their contributions to the team over the past four years. The Spartans started the year with a shutout victory over Andover and a split with eventual league champion Mulvane. The Spartans swept Wellington, Rose Hill, and El Dorado and took the program’s first-ever victory over league rival Andale. Myles Parkhurst racked up seven wins on the mound, posting no losses while Cole Thornton had a team-low 1.6 E.R.A. Offensively, the Spartans were led by Riley Dick and Connor Allen hitting .343 and .342 respectively. In the regional tournament, they defeated Kingman 7-3 and lost 2-1 in the championship game. The Spartans finished the season with a 12-10 record. Congratulations to the following players for their postseason honors: Riley Dick OF All-State Honorable Mention, 1st Team All-League; P All-League Honorable Mention Cole Thornton P All-State Honorable Mention, All-League 2nd Team Connor Allen C All-League 2nd Team

Shooting Team Upper School By Tom Binyon '75 // Coach

Boys' Tennis Upper School By Dave Hawley // Coach

The 2018 WCS Varsity Tennis Team had the unenviable task of replacing five significant players from the 2017 team, four of whom had gone to State and medaled at least three times. But the Spartan men had a memorable season, finishing a close second to McPherson, who returned their top four players from the previous campaign. At State, Nate Trout and Grant Ramsey won two important matches, Lakelin Conrad finished a strong 5th place, Max Wheeler and Luke Swan finished a great 3rd in doubles, and senior Wonjoon Cho gave the program its first singles champion since 1996! Forty-one boys played on the team this year... a wildly successful season!

The Spartan Shooting Team wrapped up its third season after participating in the Kansas State High School Clay Target League 2018 spring league and state tournament. Eighteen students participated in the spring league, and three students from Hillsboro High School shot on the Spartan team, as they did not have the minimum number of students for their own team. Max Anderson was the high average male shooter and placed 14th overall in the conference. Ness Sickmon barely edged out Bailey Gibbs as the high average female shooter. Ness and Bailey placed 4th and 5th respectively in the conference. At the state tournament in June, Collegiate fielded a team of 10 shooters – seven from Collegiate and our three guest shooters from Hillsboro. The Spartan scores were as follows: Max Anderson Colton Weaver Parker Gray Zach Reddy

89 85 82 76

Bailey Gibbs Ness Sickmon Reagan Wetzel

75 75 75

We look forward to continuing to grow the Collegiate Shooting Team and competing in 2019.

Congratulations TO LAKELIN CONRAD ON HIS AWESOME YEAR!

Looking back on the year that Lakelin Conrad had as a runner provides a new perspective on how amazing it truly was. Lakelin ran in nine major races. In Cross Country, he ran Rim Rock, League, Regionals, and State. On the track, he ran KU Relays, Regional 1600, Regional 3200, State 3200, and State 1600. He won all nine! Nine for nine against top competition and usually being a marked man. Then, to top it all, both races at State track beat existing Collegiate records by large margins. All this while being a two-sport athlete. It was a truly remarkable year!

Girls' Soccer Upper School By Jillian King // Coach Not every program is lucky enough to enjoy sustained success, but that is exactly what the Spartan soccer team has enjoyed for two years in a row, and what they hope to continue to build on for the future. It is never easy to take a program from the ground up, but we have been able to do just that. Five years ago, this was just a vision, and now it is truly a reality. Thanks to some amazing female athletes and the support of the Wichita Collegiate community, we have been able to develop our program into a competitive one in the Wichita area. With the help of a group of strong and experienced returning players, as well as a talented freshman class, the Spartan soccer team saw their best record in program history at 12-5, as well as a trip to the Regional Championship. The team scored 86 goals,

a program best. The season provided seven shutouts as well as the team’s first ever win against AVCTL powerhouse Andover Central High School. Maddie Reed, Class of 2019, says, “Our team this year was special because we worked hard and battled every game and set our teammates up for success.” The team has also been lucky enough to see steady growth in numbers since the beginning of the Varsity program five years ago. This year, 40 female athletes suited up for JV and Varsity soccer at Wichita Collegiate School. Riley Ruffin, Class of 2019, says that her favorite memory of the season was assisting fellow teammate Carson Butcher, Class of 2019, on a goal against The Independent School. “I loved seeing how our team supports one another and shares in each other’s successes. I love to be a part of that atmosphere.” At the end of the season, eight players were named to the AVCTL team (Maddie Reed, Olivia Neidigh, Mia Estivo, Paige Henry, Sophie Yoakum, Sydney Lair, Emma Truxal, and Riley Ruffin), the most in program history, and for the first time, a player was named to the All-Metro Team (Maddie Reed). The Spartan soccer team is a group to be proud of who certainly prove themselves worthy every day in the classroom and on the field.

Cheer Upper School By Ashleigh Hennessy // Coach Each year at WCS, I am pleased to see the continued ambition of our students. As a coach, I am especially pleased by the number of kids who are up for trying something new at the high school level - in this case a new sport or activity. On a further note, I am downright impressed when an upperclassman, especially a senior, reaches out to join the cheer team. This past winter season, our team was lucky enough to have six seniors, four of whom had never cheered before but were outgoing enough to try something new. Additionally, four of those new seniors stepped into official leadership positions. We also had eight other ladies who decided to try cheer for the first time. I applaud them for that, as we all know that trying something new and being any good at it is not easy! It takes a great deal of courage and effort. With six seniors leading by example, our team had a very successful season. Many hours of preparation and weekly practice prepared our team for some fun new stunts and a polished look at game time. Personally, I have enjoyed what seems to be an annual cheer tradition of our WCS high school students trying a new sport. Those who have the courage and ambition to try something new are often great leaders, and I hope to welcome more brave students in the years to come!

Dance Team Upper School By Katie

Hatfield Gunzelman '07 // Coach

The Spartan Pommies had a wonderful second semester, performing original routines for six home basketball games and wowing the crowd with fun and challenging choreography. The Pommies also helped nearly 50 of our youngest Spartans enjoy dance through the Little Spartan Dance Clinic in early February. Captain Esther Beren and Co-Captains Maeve Ashbrook, Celia Babst, and Laura May – our four fabulous seniors – performed together at WCS for the last time for Senior Night on February 23, dancing to a remix of “Time of My Life” at the end of the team’s routine.

Boys' Golf Upper School

By Kevin Reed // Coach The WCS Boys’ Golf Team was led by seniors Will Lammers, Ender Graham, and Miles Ruffin. Rounding out the squad of seven were sophomores Eli Graham and Nick Siemens, and freshmen Zach Burgess and Jack Herrman.

The Pommies then celebrated their successful year on March 29 with parents and coaches over dinner and then a sleepover together as a team. The seniors presented posters as a farewell gift. In mid-April, ten Pommies represented the team at the ISAS Arts Festival in Dallas, Texas, performing a mash-up of the year’s top routines. Girls, thank you for an amazing year and for your hard work and dedication! Well done!

The highlight of our year was our team score of 331 at the Hesston Invitational. Eli, Nick, Will, and Jack all shot their best rounds of the year at that tournament with a 74, 84, 88, and 105 respectively. Zach Burgess shot his season best round of 78 at the WCS Invitational and he finished sixth at the league tournament with a round of 80. The boys worked very hard this year and improved their team score by almost 50 strokes from the first tournament to our best tournament. Well done, guys! 37

Boys' Basketball Middle School By Joe Talbot // Coach The 2017-18 Middle School Boys’ Basketball season was a great one, with the 8th grade A Team finishing off a two-year undefeated run of 38-0 as a highlight! The 8th grade B Team had a great season as well, finishing with a winning record playing up in the A League, which the Team chose to do since they won the B League the year before.

The 7th grade teams were very competitive, too, with their A Team finishing 3rd in the league. The 6th grade teams had great seasons, with the A Team finishing 2nd in their league. All in all the future of Spartan basketball is very bright!

Boys' Tennis Middle School By Dave Hawley // Coach The 2018 WCS Middle School Tennis Team contained a good mixture of 6th,7th, and 8th graders, and players of all levels of experience. The boys were a wonderful group of competitors, and the future looks brightly for the Spartans. The highlights for the boys were the singles championships at the prestigious Ark City Invite for Charlie Dunne and Daly Steinhauser!

Girls' Basketball Middle School 6th Grade by Zachary Freeman, Coach The 6th grade girls were able to compete the entire season with only five players, as we lost Phoebe Ross early on to a finger injury. Phoebe is an important part of this group and her efforts were greatly missed after the injury she sustained caused her to be unavailable. I know it really bummed her out and we all appreciate everything she contributed up to that point and look forward to her getting back on the court next year! This group of 6th graders came to practice each and every day ready to compete and ready to improve. They battled against the 7th and 8th grade girls in drills and scrimmages and improved a great deal as the season went on. This group had the misfortune of losing Coach T around Christmas to a new job offer out of state. Coach Shan and myself split up the schedule and filled in for Coach T in her absence. It would not be an easy task for any group to deal with three coaches in one season but this group never complained and responded with great effort each and every time they hit the floor. Avery, Kalie, Sophia, Lucy, and Sara Jane showed tremendous character and persistence through all of the adversity they faced this season, playing with as few as three players due to injuries, and foul trouble in several games! Collegiate 6th grade girls basketball lost in the semifinals to the eventual league champion. I want to thank the girls and their parents for allowing me to coach them this past season. I learned a lot from each one of them. Next season is looking very bright for this group. Their work ethic, determination, and team-first attitude will bring great results. They will compete with the top teams in the league once again for their chance to finish as league champions in the 2018-2019 school year! 7th Grade by Shan Sellers, Coach Last year, the Lady Spartans’ season was like no other. The Lady Spartans faced diversity pretty early on in the season with injuries and loss of a coach to another state for professional basketball. However, that did not stop the girls from pushing forward and working as hard as they possibly could. Coach Freeman and I pushed the girls to be the best that they could be despite the hiccups they encountered. With three teams and two coaches, they managed to keep a winning record. Even though the girls ended in defeat in their final game, they had an extremely positive season on and off the court and grew closer as a team. There were some bleak points and mishaps throughout last year’s season, but the athletes tried their best and proved that hard work can lead to great things. Each team had a game where everyone scored and were all smiles. The girls quickly learned that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Our seventh graders finished with a decent season. We learned to work hard even when we were tired. Within the first few games, we had Tatum and Grace Dickerson go down with arm injuries. All the girls

stepped up to fill those positions. Mya and McKayla stepped up and hit big shots during tough games. Natalie worked hard every time she got in the game. Not only did her hard work pay off in practice, but come game time she knew all the spots to ensure she could do the things asked of her. Trudy and Katherine played a ton of minutes and executed the baseline drive. Every team needed an energy player and we had that in Darcy. Last but not least, Paige there would be games that Paige would never come out of and she never complained. She carried the team each game and gave it her all. Thank you to the 7th grade girls for never giving up and always supporting one another.

8th Grade by Ellie Munds ’22 Our 8th grade girls’ basketball season presented opportunities to persevere through the challenges of team sports. Although we didn’t win as many games as we’d hoped, we did play in a very challenging league of quality teams. We ended the season with a .500 record, going 6-6. I think we played very well for only having five players: Emma Halas, Breckon Meares, Maddie Kemnitz, Lily Conrad, and myself. At times, we only had four players as the league’s most aggressive defender, Breckon Meares, fouled out of several games! Throughout the season, we adapted to rule changes, injury, and fatigue, as well as the challenge of working with our third coach in as many years - not an easy task! We had a wonderful Middle School coaching staff this year, though. Coach T (former Shocker Taquanda Mike) led the 6th grade team; Coach Shan Sellers (All-American player at Friends from 2013 to 2017, “KCAC POY 2017”) led 7th grade; and Coach Freeman led the 8th grade while also working as a special education teacher at Wilbur Middle School. Coach Freeman helped us improve our basketball skills, but also gave us a new perspective on life and the things that are happening in our city. Coach Freeman is not the easiest person to play for, but his demanding style allowed us to give maximum effort to compete with quality teams in our league. Competing, being “in the game,” is what we play for, right? I can honestly say by season’s end we were competing with the best teams in the league for 32 minutes! 39

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

ATHLETICS

Track & Field Middle School By Tiffany Lippoldt // Coach The Wichita Collegiate Middle School Track Team had a phenomenal season from start to finish. To begin, we had an awesome number of athletes participate this year! So many that we needed to buy more uniforms! The competitive season got a late start as the first few meets were cancelled or postponed. This did not discourage the Spartan spirit, and the athletes continued to practice well and hard. Throughout the season, there were a ton of great performances, personal records, school records, and league records from individuals and relay teams. For 6th grade, Avery Elofsson did an amazing job in all her events and was able to beat the league record in the 100y hurdles and placed second at league in her three events – the hurdles, discus and 400m. Sophia Majors got 3rd in the 200m dash. Kalie Villagomez, Liana Maksoud, Lucy Walling, and Sophia Majors made up the 4x100m relay team and placed first. As a whole team, the girls placed 4th at league. The boys only had four athletes on the team – Peyden Chronister, Mason Hart, James Shackelford and Brett Wetta. For not having a big team, they truly dominated and their relays were fun to watch. They got 1st in the 4x100m relay and also in the distance medley relay. Individually, Mason got 1st in the 1600m, Peyden got 1st in the 400m dash, James got 3rd in the 200m, and Brett 4th in the 100m dash. They placed 4th as a team at the league meet. The 7th graders also had great successes with a strong boys’ team. Roman Chandler broke the league and Wichita Collegiate track records in the 200m dash. He also got 1st in the 100m dash and 1st in the 400m. Jaden Mitchell also broke the school record in the long jump and 1st place at league. He also placed 2nd in the 100m and 200m. Cj Meyer broke the school record in the 1600m, which got him 1st place. Cj also got 1st in the 800m run. Trey Henderson got 1st in the shot put and 3rd in the 200m. The 7th grade boys placed 2nd as a team. For the seventh grade girls, Makayla McClellan got 2nd in the 100m dash and 200m. Overall as a team, the 7th grade girls placed 8th.

The 8th grade had a really strong girls team. The very first meet of the season, Lily Conrad, Emma Halas, Breckon Meares, and Caroline Walling went out and ran an exciting 4x400m relay that broke the school record. The 4x100m relay was a strong race for the girls, too, placing second at league with the team of Emma Halas, Breckon Meares, Maddie Kemnitz, and Lily Conrad. That same group of ladies also placed 2nd in the distance medley relay. We had another team of ladies, Trista Overton, Ivy Newman, Maya Torres, and Ella Graham, that made up our 4x200m relay team that placed 3rd at the league meet. In the 100m dash, Lily Conrad came in first. Ella Graham competed in the pole vault and came in 2nd. Emily Mallard ran a hard 1600m run and got 2nd place. Breckon Meares got a 3rd place finish in the 100m dash. As a team, the girls finished 2nd at the league meet. The boys also had a fun relay to watch with Spencer Sullivan, Cameron Brown, Tyler Gwyn, and Ryder Walsh making up the 4x100m relay team. They got 2nd place at the league meet. Sam Augustin got 3rd place in the discus throw. Spencer Sullivan got a second place finish in the 400m. Ryder Walsh got 3rd place in both the 100m dash and the 200m. Overall as a team, the 8th grade boys placed 6th. There were undoubtedly some amazing performances and fun times, and smiles on the athletes faces. It was an overall excellent track season for Wichita Collegiate Middle School.

FROM THE BOARD

RETIREES & INTROS The Board of Trustees welcomes new Trustees Caesar Naftzger and Sheryl Nolan. Both have been elected for a three-year term beginning with the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Caesar Naftzger attended Wichita Collegiate School from fourth to eighth grade, after which he transferred to a military academy in Charlottesville, Virginia. He graduated from Southern Methodist University and has worked in the financial services industry for the past 16 years. He is President and Owner of Riedl First Securities, a financial investment banking firm, and is an approved General Securities Principal, Municipal Securities Principal, and Financial Operations Principal. Caesar is married to Michelle and has two children at Collegiate: Christina ’19 and John ’23. He enjoys attending many of their activities, especially cross country, dance team, tennis, and robotics competitions. He can also be seen working in the concession stand with Michelle during football season. In his spare time, Caesar enjoys going to the movies, playing pickle ball, Peloton, traveling, and spending time with his family. Sheryl Nolan received a BA in Economics and Business with an emphasis in Accounting from Hendrix College and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. After working for Siemens Energy and Automation in Arkansas and Georgia, she moved to Wichita to marry husband Andy Nolan, and worked for Case New Holland before she decided to stay home to raise sons Charlie ’22 and James ’28. Sheryl stays actively involved in the community by volunteering her time. She has been a member of the Junior League of Wichita for the last 17 years and served on the board of directors as both Director of Finance and Director of Strategic Planning. Sheryl has chaired various Collegiate Association of Parents (“CAP”) committees, such as the Valentine Surprise and Poinsettia Sales, as well as serving as CAP President. She is also currently CoChair of Friends of the Library. She is very excited to be able to serve Collegiate on the Board of Trustees. The Board expresses sincere appreciation to Basil Hourani, who is retiring after serving on the Board of Trustees from 2009 to 2018. He held a variety of roles, serving on the Finance and Facilities Committee for the past seven years,

as well as Secretary of the Board and the Executive Committee for two years. He is currently a member of the Head of School Search Committee. Two years ago, Basil worked on a committee alongside WCS staff advocating for students being able to study Spanish consistently in all four divisions and attain proficiency by graduation. Additionally, Basil and his family have been generous supporters in creating the Upper School Innovation Lab. Although Kathryn Lammers only served on the Board of Trustees for two years, she had significant impact. During those two years, Kathryn was an engaged and passionate supporter of WCS, serving on the Development Committee and chairing the committee during the 2017-2018 school year. In that role, she worked with staff to formalize a donor appreciation program. Along with her family, Kathryn’s support for the Lammers Middle School Innovation Lab was critical in bringing opportunities for creativity to each Middle School student. The Collegiate community will miss Kathryn and her family as they move to Minneapolis. The Board of Trustees thanks Sylvia Orozco-Do for serving as a Trustee since 2009. During her nine years on the board, Sylvia served on the Development Committee for eight years and the Trusteeship Committee for three years. She has been an advocate for diversity in the Collegiate community and is always willing to get involved in a project to improve the school. Sylvia and her family have been loyal and generous donors over the years and have opened their home to host Collegiate events on many occasions. We thank Sylvia for her hard work and passion for WCS. She has an infectious love for the school that will be missed! Trustee Amelia Sumerell Schlatter retires from the Board after nine years of loyal service. She served on the Trusteeship Committee for seven years. During her time at the school, Amelia has acted as a tireless promoter of Wichita Collegiate School in our community, encouraging families moving to the area to consider sending their children to WCS. During the 2012-2013 school year, as part of a special board effort, Amelia exceeded the efforts of all other trustees, inviting dozens of local business people to the campus for a tour. The Board thanks Amelia for her positive attitude and support for so many years. 41

ALUMNI BOARD

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Phoebe Stokley Hart ’95

It has been my great privilege to serve as your Alumni Board President for the 2017-18 school year. This year was filled with activity and fundraising for important school projects, and I was reminded once again of how our extended school family supports each other and the school, time and time again. Our activities began with the 18th Annual WCS Golf Classic at Crestview Country Club on August 18. The Class of 1967, the first graduating class of WCS, celebrated their 50th class reunion in late September. Homecoming Weekend was well attended, with many alumni back to celebrate their class reunions. We enjoyed reconnecting with old friends in the Alumni Tent and watching Spartan football on a beautiful October evening, and we look forward to another great turnout this year on September 28. Other alums gathered in January, when Steven Stokdyk ’85 hosted an alumni gathering in Los Angeles. In February, we held the 29th Annual Mentor Program, which paired seniors with professionals in their fields of interest, at the Wichita Country Club. Keynote speaker Jenni Morse ’97 gave an enlightening and powerful speech about her work helping to rescue victims of human trafficking with Operation Underground Railroad. Her riveting presentation had an impact on seniors and mentors alike. The following day, the entire Upper School student body heard Matt Maloney ’94 share eyeopening and entertaining remarks about his fifteen years of experience in the Appellate Division of the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.

The Alumni Board continues to maintain a $1,000,000 Alumni Endowment for tuition assistance. In addition, our “brick and mortar” focus on campus this year was on the Middle School locker room renovation. These facilities are in dire need of a complete overhaul, and I am thrilled to report that the Alumni Board was able to direct many gifts towards this project. The construction was completed this summer, and our students returned in the fall to a fresh and inviting space. At graduation, I was pleased to present a check for $193,679, the largest amount the Alumni Association has ever raised, to Headmaster Tom Davis. It has been a very rewarding experience serving Wichita Collegiate in a year of such outstanding alumni participation and giving, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to be involved.

Congratulations to Shari with our sincerest gratitude for your service and support.

ALUMNI

MENTOR DAY

2018 marked the 29th year for one of the most beloved and significant Collegiate traditions, the senior Mentor Program. Led as always by Lisa Schooler, the WCS Alumni Board spent several weeks matching each member of the senior class with a local professional in their chosen field. The two-day program began with the Annual Mentor Breakfast on February 15 at Wichita Country Club. This year’s keynote speaker was Jenni Morse ’97. Jenni received a BA in English Literature from Vanderbilt University before receiving her law degree from the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University. She then embarked on a 13-year career as an Assistant District Attorney in Texas, prosecuting Sexual Assault, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Aggravated Robbery, Murder, and Capital Murder cases. During her time as a prosecutor, Jenni developed a special passion for helping children who had been victims of human trafficking or other related crimes. In the fall of 2017, Jenni made the difficult decision to leave her job as a prosecutor in order to join Operation Underground Railroad, an organization dedicated to fighting for the permanent eradication of child sex trafficking throughout the world. Jenni joined O.U.R. as law enforcement outreach and training coordinator, and now also serves as manager of operations. In its four years of existence, O.U.R. has already rescued 1,200 victims and assisted in the arrests of 450 traffickers worldwide. While still adjusting to no longer being a prosecutor, Jenni welcomes the chance to proactively fight to prevent child trafficking, rather than simply becoming involved after a crime has already been committed. In a speech that inspired students and mentors alike, Jenni shared numerous examples of the work O.U.R. does throughout the world. In a story that highlights the reach of the Collegiate network, Jenni amazed the audience by recounting her chance encounter with Marielle Schultz, Class of 1994 and longtime ICE agent, at a conference in Uganda!

Using numerous personal examples, Jenni wisely told the seniors not to panic if they have yet to decide on a career path, and encouraged them to identify and follow their passion in life. In addition to speaking at the breakfast, Jenni generously donated her time and met with several student groups while she was in town. After breakfast, the seniors shadowed their mentors at work, providing a valuable behind-the-scenes look at their careers of choice. The students asked excellent questions, and some students and mentors made plans to continue their relationship beyond that day. The following morning, Matt Maloney ’94, a Collegiate “lifer,” spoke at an Upper School assembly. He was introduced by Jeff Boone, his longtime friend and fellow member of the Class of ’94. Matt received both his BA in Political Science and his law degree from the University of Kansas, and has served as an Assistant District Attorney in Sedgwick County for nearly 16 years. As an appellate attorney in the District Attorney’s Office, Matt has briefed and argued hundreds of cases before the Kansas Supreme Court and Kansas Court of Appeals. He has prosecuted first-degree murders, rapes, kidnappings, and many other crimes. Matt encouraged the students to take advantage of the many opportunities that Collegiate provides, emphasized the importance of good writing skills, and spoke of the value of finding quality mentors not only while a student, but after beginning a professional career. Matt identified former WCS teacher Joe Croker as someone who played an important role in his decision to consider a career in law. At the conclusion of the assembly, GirlsUp, a group comprised of female high school students, surprised Jenni with a contribution to O.A.R. – a fitting end to another outstanding year of the Mentor Program! Thank you to our speakers and mentors, and congratulations to the Class of 2018. We trust that, in the future, many of you will participate in this program again, this time in the role of mentor!

Rachel Klingenberg '11 Rachel Klingenberg is working at Behavioral Link and has become engaged. In Rachel's words: "Working with kids that have behavioral problems has its ups and downs along with rewards and embarrassments. One such time involving all the aforementioned is how I met the love of my life. At work with a group of kids, I took them to eat, where they proceeded to think I was flirting with the waiter. In fact, I was giving him information to get a job at my company since it was his dream job. The kids started their normal teasing, eventually gaining the entire restaurant's attention, including said waiter. The waiter, Joshua Behrens, came over and told the kids to, I quote, stop teasing your worker, who I'm sure is one of the most beautiful people I have seen, also smart, and very kind. Of course, this encouraged the kids to take it farther and they told me and Josh to trade numbers. The rest is history and the wedding is set to take place in September 2020!"

Spartan Club

Patrons of the Arts

Spartan Club is a parent volunteer booster organization with the mission to promote school and community spirit across the WCS campus. Through Concession Sales, the Activities Guide, Membership Dues and Parking Passes, and Shirt Shack, Spartan Club raised over $52,000 during the 2017/2018 school year. The efforts of our volunteers allowed Spartan Club to fund the following projects:

Thanks to your generosity, Patrons of the Arts raised more than $7,500 this past year to meet needs for new and upgraded items in our Fine Arts programs. One of Patrons’ main fundraisers was and is reserved seating at the Annual Thanksgiving Concert. We received another high level of reserved seating this past year, which enabled us to respond generously to various faculty requests. Some of the items funded over the last two years include:

• New Basketball Shooting Equipment • Middle School Physical Education Equipment

• Middle School – Bass clarinet and concert toms for Band, a wire storage shelf for clay for the Art Room, and yoga mats for the Drama Room.

• Baseball Field Safety Padding • New Team Championship Banners – Academics & Sports

• Upper School – Two cameras, and a shelf and a bench for the Art Room printing press, drumheads for the US Drumline, a professional fog machine, LED strobe lights, and two follow spotlights for Galichia Auditorium.

• Team posters • Trophy cases • Travel uniforms • Team/Club Funding Allocations

Thank you so much for your continued support of Patrons of the Arts! If you would like to get involved, please contact Patrons President Kerry Prater at 316-652-0124 or kprater@wcsks.com.

Parents Supporting Science would like to thank everyone in the WCS community who supported us through memberships and trash bag purchases this year. Because of your support, PSS granted more than $2,300 to WCS math, science, and technology programs to provide the following for our students:

• Early Childhood: Apple TVS, STEM kits, microsight microscopes, Montessori geography and sensorial materials, and $5,000 for the Early Childhood Playground Project (4th year of a 5-year pledge).

• Everyday and Guided Math Materials for Early Childhood and Lower School classrooms • Rocket build kits for the 4th grade science classes

• Lower School: Color-coded keyboards, STEM engineering kits, wobble stools, and seating and trees for the Commons area.

• Liquid nitrogen and sulfur hexafluoride for 8th grade spring science experiments

• Middle School: Flat screen monitor and mount, colorcoded keyboards, markertop tables, Apple TV, and a portable TV stand with wheels.

• Van de Graaff generator and gyroscope suitcase for the Upper School Physics laboratory

• Upper School: Breathalyzers and mouthpieces, Art room flat file cabinets and stands, and frictionless air track system for the Physics classroom.

• Treats for the Upper School math students who took the American Mathematics Competition (AMC)

Since its inception, CAP has given over $1 million dollars back to WCS classrooms through the granting of teachers’ Wish List items.

We hope you will continue to support our efforts to encourage and enable strong STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs at Collegiate. If you want to purchase our high-quality trash bags, contact Natalie Gosch: Natalie.Gosch@gmail.com, 316-210-0513. All colors/ sizes (white-kitchen, yellow-lawn, blue-xl lawn) are $12 per roll.
