Theater program earns 10th national festival nom Wheeler’s Theater program has been nominated for the 10th time to the American High School Theatre Festival that takes place at Edinburgh’s famous Fringe Festival.

Wheeler was nominated for the upcoming 2020 festival by Trinity Repertory Company director Curt Columbus who wrote, “I have worked with the students in this program on many occasions and find them to be some of the most thoughtful and most passionate theater artists I have encountered at any high school in America.

Their teacher, Lisa Brackett, challenges them to do work that is extremely demanding for their age, and their shows are always well executed and well produced.” To which we say, Bravo Wheeler!

ALUMNI PROFILE

Grace Evans ’15 — Activist and Scholar Grace Evans ’15 is an activist and a scholar — a title she’s held since her days as a student at The Wheeler School. Currently a senior at Harvard, she is writing her Senior Thesis on the Sanctuary Movement.

In January during a visit to Wheeler, Grace spoke to students about her formative experiences as a queer woman (a founding member of the campus Queer Straight Alliance) her work as an activist and an organizer, and how her passion for activism and organizing has continued throughout her college career.

“There’s definitely a lot of emotional labor that goes into this kind of work and time, but for me, it feels really important and necessary to be engaged in,” said Grace.

The Sanctuary Movement is a faith-based movement of religious congregations and other allied groups working to defend immigrants who have deportation orders and to secure physical sanctuary in places of worship. This summer Grace spent time at the US-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley and in Austin, TX, where she worked with organizations protesting the Zero Tolerance Immigration policy.

“I advocated for immigrants in a legal sense and in the public sphere. I listened to the life-changing stories of people who are being dramatically impacted by our current immigration policies, stories that should have been heard by Border Agents,” Grace said. “We provided material support, things like soap and food, held vigils and visited the towns on the other side of the border. It was a wild time to be there, but I learned a lot,” she said.

Grace will graduate from Harvard in Spring 2019 with her Bachelor of Science in Social Studies.

More than 100 educators gathered in the fall on campus as Wheeler hosted the first Conversation Among Friends, a daylong conference celebrating the work and impact of educator Ted Sizer’s Coalition of Essential Schools.

Presentation topics ranged from creating intentionally-integrated schools, developing a “shore school” at an urban elementary school, learning from difficulties, and moving from breadth in content coverage to depth.

Head of School Allison Gaines Pell said of the conference experience: “Nancy Sizer, a history teacher at Wheeler for many years (we named our annual Upper School History Award in her honor) and Debbie Meier, co-founder of the Coalition of Essential Schools and legendary school founder, gave compelling remarks, leaving us with timely questions about educators’ roles and responsibilities in ensuring and sustaining a vibrant democracy. They each asked in some way: How can we ensure that we raise a generation that asks questions about what is, and what could be? How can we ensure that we nurture students who can listen to one another, and who can hold more than one perspective at a time? And how can we ensure that our students all understand more deeply the full range of needs of many people in a democracy? I am very glad that Wheeler led the way to provide a home for this conversation.”

These projects are our “Self-Love Superheroes.”

They are photographs of us in “power poses,” where our bodies are positioned in ways that feel strong and proud. We also designed and painted colorful watercolor capes, belts and headbands.

Our speech bubbles are statements that tell you what we love about our bodies, minds and hearts.

In the winter before I began as Wheeler’s Head of School, Trustee Jacky Beshar sent me a book. It was written by Blanche Wheeler Williams, Mary Colman Wheeler’s niece. As I opened it, out tumbled a handful of confetti (thanks to Jacky). I settled into a comfortable chair, eager to learn what Miss Wheeler herself had to teach me about the school I was about to lead.

She delivered. In one chapter, Williams described an intimate ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... scene: surrounded by her students, Miss Wheeler shared her ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... personal philosophy: the importance of a full and “juicy” education ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... and life, the importance of “greatheartedness.” She implored each ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... young woman to “learn her powers and be answerable for their use,” ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... echoing sentiments ............................................................................... ...............................................................................quite familiar to Miss Wheeler’s contemporary, ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... the progressive visionary John Dewey. ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

This powerful and abiding philosophy shaped not just the early ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... years of the school, but its trajectory through time — a clear, straight ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... line to the present. It remains a clarion call for us, in 2019, as we ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... embark upon our next chapter. ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

Bolstered

by Miss Wheeler’s imperative, I began my exploration ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... with students, parents, faculty and staff last school year to learn ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

Wheeler’s powers and to put them to good use. I started with ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... two questions: I asked ............................................................................... ............................................................................... our stakeholders, What makes Wheeler ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... unique and worthy of abiding preservation into the future? ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

And what belongs in our next chapter? ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

With notebooks filled with quotes and observations, I organized questions and themes into main areas, and then held a series of constituent meetings in which we reviewed the questions together and organized our responses. Mary Wheeler’s precept kept surfacing as we worked.

Here are a few of the questions we devised:

Learning Wheeler’s Powers: Creating Our Future → At a Board of Trustees meeting in May, we agreed that the precept worked beautifully as a new mission statement for the School. Over the spring, summer, and fall, we engaged members of our community, including parents, students, alumni and, of course, faculty and staff, in the process of aligning with our accrediting body, and with our own beliefs and practices. Last fall we gave final approval. We are delighted to share this with you; I invite you to join us for the next chapter of our School’s path forward.

The Landscape

Mean Task Input in Percentiles of 1960 Distribution

Twenty-first Century thought leaders and researchers have loudly proclaimed that education is in the midst of a fundamental shift. The current system, designed for an industrial age in which students learned rigid and rote material, no longer meets the goals we have for our children.

The “Guttenberg moments”—such as the printing press or the airplane— that used to occur once every century or generation, now happen at least once a year, as technology advances faster than the curve of human adaptability.

Wheeler was the first in the region to offer Chinese as a regular curriculum offering. And Wheeler has given students many other firsts. Our strength has been a commitment to respond to student needs with purposeful and challenging work that will meet the demands of the future.

Why Wheeler Needs To Lead

—

—

—

become guardians as they steward. They create and build with natural materials at the Wheeler Farm, learning about sustainability in real terms.

—

Instead of reading about artificial intelligence or design thinking, in the NuVuX Studio students create small-scale driverless automobiles, or develop mechanisms to give greater mobility to the disabled.

Wheeler’s students will embrace the future with the level of rigor for which we are known, and with a curriculum built for the challenges of an evolving college environment and world economy.

Various grades—most intensively, the 6th grade Farm Program—already spend time at the Farm. We intend to develop the property as a unique educational facility that is a resource to all ages and divisions. Already this year, our youngest learners—in nursery, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten— .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... spend every Friday at the Farm learning from nature and the .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... .................................................... ......................................................................................................................... opportunities it provides.

A School of Consequence

We will respond to the complexity of an ambiguous future by ensuring our graduates leave us with powers of understanding, knowledge, and expression, as well as with resilience, the ability to face ambiguity with confidence, poise and creativity, and with a sense of what it means to live a meaningful and purposeful life. We owe this to our entire community, past and present.

“Find work that you find challenging and never take a job only because you think it will lead you to another, better one. If you do a job that you are passionate about, success will follow.

That is one piece of advice I have always tried to take to heart.”

ALUMNI PROFILE

Dakota Whitworth ’10 — A Passion For Fashion By Meryl Willett

Dakota Whitworth ’10 turned her passion for style and fashion into a successful business.

In 2016 Dakota quit her full-time job as an assistant buyer at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, TX to focus on starting her own company—the contemporary fashion boutique, Harper & Tucker that she began with business partner, Natalie Swift.

From launching the Harper & Tucker online store in 2016 to opening a storefront in Newport, RI in 2017, Dakota’s business has continued to grow to add a seasonal pop-up shop at Legacy Place in Dedham, MA, and a second, permanent location in Wayland Square, Providence, RI, opening Spring 2019. A part of their ‘business plan’ is to give back and in December, their company hosted a Holiday Gift Drive for Rosie’s Place, a shelter for women based in Boston, MA. “Harper & Tucker is a women’s company in every way—we were founded by women, we style women, and we do what we can to support women,” said Dakota. “Our entire team is made up of amazingly talented women: from our photographer to our graphic designer, our employees in the shop, to the reps and the brands we work with.

“Our goal is to celebrate women and to offer clothing that makes them feel happy, beautiful, and comfortable in their own skin.”

With the excitement of a second location (so close to Wheeler) in the not too far off distance, Dakota says the magic of Harper & Tucker is their unique collection of beachy, breezy bohemian style clothing, attention to detail and personal styling, and their two golden retrievers, the real Harper and Tucker, who can often be found at the store.

ACADEMICS

Three New Programs Advancing Education A trio of innovative educational programs has been launched at Wheeler this year all designed to make the educational experience for students relevant to the world they will inherit.

Custom experiences are currently in development with a group of Wheeler faculty and the NuVu team. Science faculty member Christine Perkins said about the new program, “The NuVuX program offers students an immersive adventure in project-based learning. They will explore their ideas deeply, all the while collaborating with peers. They will embrace mistakes and discover which of their mistakes are the most valuable. They will change their own minds and the minds of others.

They will learn to follow through on projects, from the very seeds of ideas to completely constructed products. This is the essence of creativity.”

The joyful, play-based program is driven by students’ inspiration from the woods, fields, and waterways of the 120-acre Wheeler Farm

Forest Fridays To build on an already robust Early Childhood curriculum of both structured and unstructured play, Wheeler created “Forest Fridays” at The Wheeler Farm. Nursery, Pre-K and Kindergarten children take the bus with their friends out to the Farm on periodic Fridays to explore nature, play together, develop independence, build creativity “muscles” and extend imagination. The joyful, play-based program is driven by students’ inspiration from the woods, fields, and waterways of the 120-acre Wheeler Farm and supported by faculty with literacy development, mathematical concepts, and personal awareness.

Research in nature-based programs has shown the cognitive benefits for problem-solving and decision making, as well as stronger reasoning and observational skills, the healthy development of the body and the social-emotional advantages for calming and balancing the hurried aspects of today’s life.

ACADEMICS

Cityside Starting in fall 2019, The Wheeler School will offer to 8th-grade students, its new Cityside program—a year-long interdisciplinary experience in civic engagement embedded in the City of Providence. The new program leverages Providence’s 25 neighborhoods, working with various NGOs, non-profit organizations, community groups, and branches of government to provide a rich curriculum for project-based learning, inquiry, and research.

The WaterFire Arts Center in Providence will be “home base” for the new Wheeler Cityside Studio Classroom. Three essential questions form the academic foundation for the new program which grew from the current Middle School 8th-grade history curriculum. Students will be able to answer these questions upon completion of their year in Cityside:

—

What are my duties as a global and local citizen and how can familiarity with place help fulfill those duties?

—

Why are cities like Providence, presently and in the future, a perfect lab for studying our greatest successes and failings as a society?

—

What temperament and skills are vital in order to flourish in a rapidly changing world?

A year-long interdisciplinary experience in civic engagement embedded in the City of Providence

Why do you think students learn about immigration in fourth grade?

Nathan It is important to know the history of America.

If no one knew about immigration, they wouldn’t know how the U.S. came to be.

NOW AND THEN SPR NG 2019

ACADEMICS

Lola We learn how America was formed out of so many people.

Veterans Day Weekend, Warrior Nation’s support ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... refused to drop with the thermometer. Instead, our ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... fans cheered and howled for their team through ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... regulation, and into overtime, when Aiden Pastora ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ’22 found Braeden Cannon ’19 with a beautiful ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... pass that the senior striker placed in the back of the ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... net. The goal not only gave the Warriors a 2-1 victory ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... and the RIIL D2 crown, but it gave Wheeler its 3rd ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... athletic championship of the fall. ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................

First was the Girls Cross Country team who ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... captured the RIIL Class C Championship. Next ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... came the Field Hockey team who willed their way ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... to victory in the RIIL Division II Championship. And ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... then it was the Boys Soccer team taking home ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... the title.

In triplicate, the Wheeler Warriors athletic ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... program has enjoyed a memorable season of ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... sports success. ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................

Coach Tom Wharton’s Girls Cross Country team ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... has now won 7 consecutive division championships ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... and 10 overall major championships since 2010— ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... its 2nd in a row since joining the RIIL. Undoubtedly, ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... an incredible feat for a small independent school ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... such as Wheeler. ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................

Perhaps more so than any other Wheeler team, ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................

Field Hockey has the most storied athletic history at ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... the school and certainly the most history with the ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................................................................

New Godley Turf Field Is First Of Its Kind In New England Wheeler’s new natural turf field, the first of its kind in New England, has been named Godley Field in honor of the family of donors Drs. Frederick Godley and Dr. Kathleen CarneyGodley. The Godleys joined Head of School Allison Gaines Pell at a ribbon-cutting and naming event during Reunion Weekend 2018. Allison Gaines Pell thanked the Godleys on behalf of the students and Wheeler community present and future while Rick Godley thanked former Head Dan Miller who envisioned the field. “We found this sports field a great extension of the classroom,” said Godley, “…with lessons to learn, a chance to take on responsibility and forge friendships. We are happy to support Wheeler as it strengthens its athletic program with this facility.”

The new field, composed of “safeshell” infill material made from walnut shells is the only one of its kind in New England. The field’s debut game on September 7 was a 4-0 win by the defending RI State Champion Field Hockey team, the Wheeler Warriors, against Cumberland High School.

The new field, located off Walker Street at The Wheeler Farm, was created with infill material provided by USGreentech. According to the company, “safeshell” fields use 100% USA-grown walnut shells with residual allergens removed.

Benefits include reduced surface heat, firm and fast surfaces for athletics and a natural infill that is durable and won’t float or fly away. A special sublayer to provide protection against concussion is part of the special field.

The new Godley Field facility includes lighting, a scoreboard, terraced spectator seating, and parking. The general contractor was Green Acres Landscape and Construction of Lakeville, MA. The turf is a Sprinturf Company product; the infill was provided by GreenTech; the lights are a MUSCO Company product.

Wheeler Athletic Director Jon Donahue said about the new facility, “This new turf field illustrates a continued commitment by the School to our athletics program. Having this field, as well as the other fields and facilities at our 120-acre Farm Athletics Complex, enhances the athletic experience for our students who have great pride in our Wheeler Warrior program.” This new artificial turf field offers greater flexibility for practices and games, allowing for optimal conditions throughout the season. The turf field also provides valuable playing experience for student-athletes headed to colleges with similar playing surfaces.

Outside groups are able to rent the field for usage outside of the Wheeler schedule. For information, contact Bob Rojee, Director of Auxiliary Programs at bobrojee@wheelerschool.org.

Alumni Lend Voice To New Wheeler Collection

Wheeler Voices is a collection of stories highlighting the fact that everyone has a story: stories that capture the past, present, and future and preserve our collective wisdom and shared experiences. Working with alumna Michele Steckler ’80 (photo at right), Storyteller Meryl Willett of the Communications Office and Wheeler’s Digital Production Studio recorded over 40 alumni stories now available in the alumni section of Wheeler’s website for a new series called Wheeler Voices.

“My conversations with students, faculty, staff, parents, trustees, .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. and alumni all truly touched and inspired me,” said Steckler who .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. led the project on campus during Reunion last fall. “Moments that .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. continue to resonate are a 6th-grade boy expressing why he likes .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
