WhAt is Modern education?

pAge 10

If my memory serves me correctly, it

was during my fourth grade year when

my teacher unveiled an incredible new

classroom innovation: colored chalk.

I cannot begin to describe

the amount of excitement that this

announcement generated, especially

after she distributed the pieces

and let us draw on the classroom’s

chalkboards for the next hour. I would

like to tell you that this innovation

precipitated radical advances in the way

our teacher taught and in the way we

learned, but, alas, all I really remember

is how much more fun it was to draw pictures. (The rockets shooting out of my

jet plane looked so much more realistic in color!)

Perhaps the next most significant technological advancement came some

years later when my college made the decision to replace blackboards with

whiteboards. Other than providing a different colored backdrop from which

the professors could lecture, this innovation proved virtually meaningless.

The blackboards had never been used anyway, and the traditionalists among

the faculty expressed their disdain for this “new era” by refusing to use the

whiteboards. (I wonder if their stance would have been different had they been

given a greater variety of colored markers to use.)

My, how times have changed. Much like society, education has entered a

period of remarkable and radical change, and while many of these changes are

creating better learning environments for our students, they are not without

their complexities. Amidst calls for project-based learning, and problem-

based learning, and differentiation, and design thinking, and collaboration, and

technology, and cultural literacy, and media literacy, and multiple intelligences,

and emotional intelligence, and self-esteem, and common core, it is difficult to

distinguish fad from substance. The result, then, is that schools jump on the latest

educational bandwagon while their students run the risk of becoming subjects

of experimentation.

I think the best schools understand the need for balance. Take our approach

to iPads, for instance. Beginning this year, all students in grades 2 through 8 will

have access to an iPad. This decision came after a three-year-long process that

began when we received a grant for 25 middle school iPads. We took so much

time because we wanted to make the right decision and learn from the mistakes

and successes of other schools.

At the same time, however, we know that our work is not over. We must

continue to study, debate, and even struggle with striking the right balance

between use of and freedom from technology. We want our students to be

technologically savvy. We also want them to be able to carry on a conversation.

The point of all this, perhaps, is that we don’t have all the right answers (no

one does), but we continue to seek them, guided as we always are, by the best

interests of the students we are so fortunate to serve.

Very truly yours,

Burns Jones, Head of School

Canterbury is sad to report the passing of the rev. John s. Akers

in April 2014, the first school chaplain and subsequent Chaplain

emeritus. Father John was the recipient of the Distinguished service

Award in 2007. he touched thousands of lives, carrying his message

of god’s grace, hope, and love. Father John dedicated his life to

serving others as a son, friend, father, grandfather, Chaplain, coach,

saint, and inspiration to countless people. Believing everyone was a

child of god, he spent his life advocating for diversity and inclusion.

Day 2: MonDay, June 30, 2014After a short bus ride to the entrance of the

National Park, I walk one and a half miles along

a rock trail to Tortuga Bay. Along the way, I see

100-year-old Galapagos Giant Cacti (Opuntia

echios) that look like pine trees from the ground

until displaying their prickly pads adorned with

fruit 10-15 feet up in the air. Giant tortoises and

land iguanas feed on the pads and fruit once they

fall to the ground. Lava lizards scamper along

the trail while Darwin’s finches infiltrate every

niche of the ecosystem – feeding on the ground,

nesting in cacti, lighting on tree branches. I am yet

again astounded by how tame the wildlife seems

on the Galapagos – without large mammalian

predators, the reptiles and birds have no need to

fear humans.

Finally, I reach Tortuga Bay, which was

formed by quickly cooling black lava rock slowly

being covered in the finest, softest, white sand

imaginable. The natives tell a story of God

creating the island of Santa Cruz out of the ocean

depths with its black rocky façade, and a large

bird pooping on the spot that is now Tortuga

Bay, leaving a white mark on the surface of the

island. Here I see for the first time my two most

anticipated Galapagos species – the unique marine

iguana and Sally Lightfoot crab! The Galapagos

marine iguana is the only reptile that swims into

the ocean to feed on the algae below the surface

of the waves. At first, I only see a few sunbathing in the white sand – their

black skin making them easy to spot! After snapping multiple pictures of

the brilliant red and yellow Sally Lightfoot crabs on the black lava rock at

the ocean edge, I notice movement and see the dozens of marine iguanas

blending in to the landscape. I watch for an hour as they sunbathe on the

rocks, “sneeze” their salty excretions, and move into the water to feed

beyond the breakers. They use their thick tail as a paddle moving back and

forth to propel them through the water.

That afternoon, I take a boat from Puerto Ayora out into Academy Bay

to view sea lion colonies and the famous blue-footed boobies, named from

the Spanish slang term “bobo” meaning stupid. As I watch them plunge rather

spastically into the water and pop to the surface like a submerged football, I

understand how they may have received their name! Unfortunately it is not

mating season, so I do not observe them in their infamous wing and foot

display seeking a mate. However, on the ride back

to port with a beautiful sunset in the background,

I see numerous feeding sea turtles coming to the

surface periodically to breathe. It is the perfect

end to an amazing day!

Day 3: tuesDay, July 1, 2014Today I take a boat to Santa Fe Island for hiking and

snorkeling. I am greeted by a colony of sea lions that

allow us to observe them quite closely at length in

the absence of any male sea lions. The young ones

are particularly curious and make it quite difficult

to keep our six-foot mandatory distance. A hike up

to a hill overlooking the sea lion colony produces

land iguanas, nesting Galapagos mockingbirds, and

dozens of Darwin’s finches. After taking some

time to snap a few last pictures with the sea lions,

I head back to the boat for snorkeling. The water

is stunningly blue and clear. Usually, the water

would be quite cold due to the Humboldt Current;

but, lucky for me, it is unseasonably warm and

comfortable without a wetsuit. I observe dozens of

different fish and I am struck by how much larger

the species are from tropical fish. I swim off by

myself to get a little closer to the shoreline and am

rewarded with a visit from a curious young sea lion

swimming around me while playing just outside the

breakers. After an aromatic Ecuadorian lunch on

the boat and a rough two-hour boat trip back to

Puerto Ayora, I am thankful for a day on dry land

tomorrow!

Day 4: WeDnesDay, July 2, 2014Today I have pre-arranged a scheduled visit with scientists of the Charles

Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz. The CDRS conducts scientific

research, actively preserves the endangered Galapagos tortoise, and

implements various environmental education and conservation practices. I

learned about their tortoise conservation program in which they remove all

eggs from the wild (including the El Chato Reserve that we visited on Day 1) to

be raised at the Research Station for five years before being released back into

the wild. Each year of tortoise hatchlings are kept separately from the other

years and are subjected to varying conditions from the most “pampered” in

year one to the most “wild” in year five. Before being released into the wild, all

tortoises undergo blood work for genetic profiling and to check their health.

Summer Study Most people are familiar with the fact that darwin’s theory of natural selection comes from the observations that he made while studying the flora and fauna of the Galapagos islands during his five-year voyage on the hMs beagle. however, not many people have read both The Voyage of the Beagle and On the Origin of the Species. even fewer can attest that they read them in high school (purely for enjoyment!) and visited darwin’s burial site at Westminster abbey. now you have a better perspective on my thought process when i heard of canterbury’s summer study stipend being offered to faculty for the purpose of renewal, rejuvenation, and professional growth. as a biologist and darwin enthusiast, there was no better opportunity that i could think of to fit those criteria for me than visiting the Galapagos islands 600 miles off the coast of ecuador.

Day 1: sunDay, June 29, 2014As the plane descends on the final leg of the trip from mainland Ecuador, I press my

nose to the window for my first glimpse of one of the 1,000 islands belonging to the

Galapagos Archipelago. After viewing some of the hundreds of islets, I finally see Baltra

– one of only two islands with an airport big enough to accommodate large planes. I am

prepared for the fact that Baltra looks like a desert island that some have compared to

landing on the surface of Mars, but not prepared for the goose bumps that I get as our

plane lands.

From Baltra, I take a boat across the Ithaca Channel to Santa Cruz, the island

that will be my home base for the week. I am struck by how blue the water is and

how rugged the coast looks. As volcanic islands that formed over a hotspot (like

Hawaii), much of the Galapagos coast and lowlands consist of volcanic rock and

crustal material in varying degrees of weathering ranging in color from black and gray

boulders to reddish-brown arid soil. However, as I ride into the central highlands of

Santa Cruz, the landscape changes from arid desert to the wet, humid rainforest that

is common to a few of the larger islands with higher elevations.

I stop in the highlands to visit El Chato Tortoise Reserve where I don galoshes

to hike through the mud and tall grass in search of wild giant tortoises! As I walk, I

am mesmerized by the multitude of Darwin finches that land on branches so close

to me; they seem as though they would light on my finger if I remained perfectly still.

Finally, the guide points out the first wild tortoise. I am amazed at how large he is

and how quickly he moves through the tall grasses. After observing many more giant

tortoises in the wild that afternoon, I can accurately compare them to cows grazing

and defecating their way across a field!

On our way down from the highlands to the town of Puerto Ayora, I stop to

walk through unique lava tunnels that formed when lava cooled and solidified at the

surface and underground hot lava continued to flow, leaving empty caves and tubes.

In some places, the tunnels were 16 feet high and in others I had to “army crawl”

through just inches of space. It is an inspiring reminder of the volcanic origins of the

Galapagos Islands.

Beginning last year, Canterbury offered a grant for summer

study to returning faculty. This grant provides up to $3,000

for opportunities for renewal, rejuvenation, and professional

growth. Full-time teaching faculty members are eligible to apply

after completing their second year at Canterbury School.

The requirements of the application process include:

1. A description of the course of summer study being proposed.

2. An explanation of how the course of summer study connects

to or will enhance the school’s curriculum and especially

within the faculty member’s area of teaching expertise.

3. An explanation of how the project will enhance the

faculty member’s professional knowledge and teaching

at Canterbury.

4. A cost estimate of the summer work. (Costs may include

travel, housing, supplies, and/or course work at another

accredited institution.)

The first recipient was middle school science teacher Nicole Schutt.

Upon return, Nicole made a formal presentation of her trip to the

staff. She also submitted the following article about her experience

to this edition of Canterbury Tales.

The Graosis Waterboxx project can be seen throughout the

town of Puerto Ayora as well as at the CDRS. It seeks to conserve

native plant species by providing seedlings with an advantageous water

procurement device that surrounding invasive species do not have.

New buildings at the CDRS are entirely solar powered with the goal

of retrofitting the older buildings to create a net zero carbon footprint

by next year. Environmental education is a priority in the school

systems on San Christobal and Santa Cruz islands in the Galapagos.

I met with a science teacher that day who had come over from San

Christobal with his high school science class to assist in the measuring

and weighing of the tortoises.

My only disappointment in my visit to the Charles Darwin

Research Center was in not getting to meet “Lonesome George,” the

lone surviving tortoise of a subspecies from Pinta Island that had lived

there for the last 40 years of his life. George passed away just two years

earlier around the age of 100 without leaving any offspring to carry on

his genes. The only hope remains with two female mates of George’s

that could possibly be holding his viable genetic material for up to four

years. The next two nesting seasons will reveal if Lonesome George was

successful in establishing any offspring before passing!

Day 5: thuRsDay, July 3, 2014Today, I take a two-hour speedboat ride to San Cristobal Island to meet

Professor Stephen Walsh from the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill who is the Co-Director of the Galapagos Science Center.

As a professor in the Department of Geography, Dr. Walsh has been

bringing students to San Cristobal for research and Galapagos studies

for years. In a joint program with the Universidad San Francisco de

Quito, he was able to secure funding for a 21st century state-of-

the-art research facility. The purpose of the program is two-fold:

conduct research and provide science labs to support the Galapagos

Conservancy, Galapagos National Park, Charles Darwin Research

Station, and the government of Ecuador as well as provide the facilities

for research scientists from around the world. While touring, I met

with students from India working with fish DNA to determine if similar

varieties found in the Galapagos were in fact the same species or a

subspecies. Dr. Walsh’s expertise is in GIS (Geographic Information

Systems), remote sensing, and interactions between humans and their

environment. He was in the process of putting together a presentation

for the Ecuadorian government concerning eco-tourism; they wanted

to know how many tourists the Galapagos Islands could sustain before

putting a strain on the natural environment.

Before leaving San Cristobal, I hike up to the summit of Cerro

Tijeretas (Frigatebird Hill) to get a great view of frigate birds in the

rocks and in the sky. It also offers the best view overlooking the cove

where Darwin first set foot on the Galapagos Islands in 1835. After

hiking down to the cove to see a monument placed in his honor, I snap

a “selfie” to commemorate my pilgrimage to what I would argue to be

the shrine of Natural Science.

Day 6: FRiDay, July 4, 2014Dive day! The Galapagos Islands are consistently listed in the Top

10 Dive Spots in the world. Though I have not logged enough dives

(minimum of 30) to dive Shark Point off of Wolf Island where the

hammerheads feed on the plethora of large fish attracted by the

nutrient-rich Humboldt Current, I am content to book two dives in a

calm area off of Santa Cruz. “Calm” is a relative term. For those who

dive, imagine an ocean dive 600 miles off the coast of a continent in the

Pacific Ocean. Let’s just say that I can understand why one must log

30 dives before tackling the stronger Humboldt Current in full force!

However, the dive did not disappoint: garden eels, Moray eel, Galapagos

snake eel, green sea turtle, leopard rays, Galapagos sharks, white-tip

reef sharks, huge cold water starfish, pufferfish, and the “bucketlist”

species … hammerhead sharks! It was a very successful dive day!

Day 7: satuRDay, July 5, 2014Today I departed the Galapagos to begin the 2-day trip back to North

Carolina! On my way across Santa Cruz to Baltra, I stop at an organic

coffee plantation. Because the coffee cultivation and processing contributes to

the conservation of energy, plants, and soil; it is a model of sustainability. We

watch as the coffee beans are gathered by hand, dried in the sun, pounded by

hand to separate the bean from the hull, roasted over a fire fueled by used

sugar cane (more to come on that!), and then packaged by hand in burlap bags

to sell. Do not be concerned that the liquid sugar from the cane is wasted;

I witnessed the farmer’s distillery where he makes moonshine to sell to the

locals. I assure you that no resource is wasted in the process of making this

organic Ecuadorian coffee!

After a brief stop to view the twin volcanic craters (Los Gemelos) in

the highlands of Santa Cruz, I say goodbye to Ricardo our Ecuadorian guide

and return to the Baltra airport. I am filled with mixed emotions….. I have

done and seen so much in the six days that I have been on the Galapagos

Islands; yet, there is so much more that I would love to do and see!

now at home, i am inspired by the amazing opportunity that canterbury has given me to incorporate real world Galapagos issues into my 7th and 8th grade science classes. While in the Galapagos, i began collaborative relationships with dr. Walsh from unc and many others who share my passion for research and conservation. seventh graders will study natural selection, darwin, and evolution through a Pbl (problem-based learning) case i have developed using my photos and experiences from the Galapagos. eighth graders will use the Galapagos as a case study for environmental science. a visit to dr. Walsh and his graduate students at unc will allow them to experience firsthand the research and conservation efforts of scientists and the ecuadorian government. Finally, i am working on a Gis tortoise-tracking project with the charles darwin research station to incorporate into my science curriculum. needless to say, the options are endless in how i can utilize my unique opportunity to inspire my students. thank you canterbury school!

7th Grade trIp by claIre carmody, claSS oF 2015

Not long after the Canterbury 2014 graduates walked out of

the doors of Phillips Chapel in their white dresses, blue blazers,

and ties, the Kirkland Construction trucks arrived on campus

to begin the renovation of Ketner Center into a state-of-the-

art science and technology building. Expected to take about five

months, the Ketner renovation project will provide state-of-

the-art classroom space for science and technology instruction

and allow for better use of existing middle and lower school

science classroom space to support other educational needs

while putting all science, technology, engineering, and math

curriculums in one building. At a school like Canterbury, which

sends its graduates on to a wide range of secondary schools,

the need for an excellent science, technology, engineering,

and math (STEM) curriculum is vital to the future success of

our graduates. Spaces in the newly renovated building will

be devoted to STEM labs as well as much need open space

for collaboration, investigation and creative problem solving.

With a grin from ear to ear, Canterbury’s Middle School

Director Dave Skeen says, "The new Ketner Center will be

an incredible space for our middle school students. It will be

a building where they will go from a chemistry lab to building

robots to cutting PVC pipes for model windmills to designing

buildings on CADD software to collaborating on projects in

our new Commons areas. The level of engagement Ketner will

facilitate is really exciting.”

Once finished, the newly renovated science and

technology building will be unlike any other PreK-8th grade

building in this area. Current and future Canterbury students

will experience learning in a way that most students will

never experience. Our lower school science teacher, Kevin

Brenner, comments on "the remarkable opportunity for lower

school students to explore science and engineering in a space

specifically designed to foster and facilitate discovery at this

level. They will also benefit from being around middle school

science faculty and students as they observe scientific discovery

and innovation at the next level."

Ketner should reopen in the late fall for all Canterbury

students. This building will open the doors to educate and

inspire current and future students for many generations to

meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. Come and see

the next phase of Canterbury’s future.

last spring, the seventh grade class went up to western north carolina for our end of the year trip. We all arrived at school very early in the morning to board our busses and head to our destination with a few lucky teachers and administrators. little did we know how much we would grow as a class and as individuals and how much fun was in store for us! on the first day of our trip we went to christ school, duPont state Park, dairy Queen, and bowling. on the second day in black Mountain, we did archery, a high ropes course, frisbee golf and went mountain biking. all that remained for the third and final day was white water rafting on the nantahala river. all of these activities allowed us to grow together. We had to work together and collaborate in ways we couldn’t have on campus. in many of the activities we worked together in groups to finish the activity. in addition, the groups would cheer for their own group and others for encouragement. on the high ropes course, almost every group had someone afraid of heights. the next day on the river, others were afraid of getting into the rafts to go whitewater rafting. With the encouragement of the other seventh graders, every person was able to conquer their fears and

complete the ropes course and raft the nantahala. all of our friends would encourage us and helped us get through the scariest parts. We helped our friends get over their fears and have fun. even if you weren’t scared, the cheering helped and gave a rush of confidence. in addition to giving encouragement, the teams worked together to cross the levels of the course. We had to think about the most logical way to get through the obstacle and then we had to do exactly that. in many cases we had to collaborate ideas. in all of these instances, we grew closer together and created a bond that only we could have. on the night before we left we had a little campfire where we gathered to reflect on our experiences. We laughed and shared stories and memories, like when Father Finnin took out his group of teachers on the high ropes course or when we had to make a mad dash to the cars at duPont state Park because of a thunderstorm and then got ice cream. everyone was sad to leave, but we were all glad we came and grew closer as a grade. We are still laughing at all the stories we have and trust me, there are a lot of stories we laugh about!

so many idioms, so many articles, so many experts, so many theories. all addressing one issue: change in education. how to change. What to change. (and heck, for some folks, if to change.) in the last decade, education — how children learn, how teachers teach, the presence of technology — has altered rapidly, even drastically. schools, and particularly independent schools, because they have the freedom, and the tuition mandate to do so, adopt and implement trends, perhaps even fads, only to change course three to four years later. take the case of “design thinking,” a learning process in which students begin with the end in mind — the answer — and work backward to learn how it was achieved. For example, in science class, the students would be presented with a conclusion and figure out how this conclusion was reached, rather than beginning with a formula. industrial designers have been using this approach for years, by the way. latching on to one approach, though, means limiting your options; it means running the risk of wanting to try something else, and being stuck. For school heads, for faculty, knowing what to do (Flipped classrooms? Problem-based learning? experiential learning? Project-based learning? distance learning? expeditionary learning? all of which are current teaching innovations) has become much more difficult to discern. For every piece of data that’s been researched and prognosticated about, the substance has to be separated from the form.

this much is certain:

Educational change is being necessitated less by, say, instructors at Columbia and Harvard Schools of Education than by economic and business factors.

Google and tech companies are telling educators what they need. the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the biggest change agents in education right now.

The conventional teaching model is becoming obsolete. No longer does a teacher — generally female — stand in front of uniform rows of desks (and it looked like that no matter if you were in Oshkosh or Oslo) and disseminate knowledge.

take math. no longer does a teacher say, “here’s a long division problem. here’s how you solve it, the formula for long division.” this is how we were taught math. either you had an aptitude for it, or you didn’t. the reason is because contemporary research has proved that american children simply don’t understand the concept of division. they can plug the numbers in, sure, but any variance, and there’s trouble. the answer to a math problem can be reached in a number (no pun intended) of ways. nowadays, we teach the various ways and permit a child to select what method works best for them, what’s easiest for them. as long as “their way” leads to understanding how division works, and leads to consistently correct answers, “their way” is the right way. Math, as a matter of fact, is a good example to highlight one of the problems with change, and that’s the difficulty, and necessity, of educating parents, and their perceptions, about change. When a dad can’t understand why his daughter isn’t “bringing down” the seven on her homework, he assumes the way she’s being instructed is wrong. schools need to educate parents about why education is different now, from, “Well, it worked for me. if it’s not broken….” and here’s the answer to that: everything — everything — changed with the emergence of technology. yes, with computers.

What is Modern Education

at Canterbury School?

tablets. smartphones. the way students access information — almost exclusively through teachers and textbooks — is going away. brace yourselves: the inevitable shift is going to be away from the teacher as the sole deliverer of information. before the dead faint, understand that, in the humanities, a more traditional approach is still better. how one formulates a 5-paragraph essay is still fundamentally the same. a well-structured sentence looks the same today as it did 20 years ago. literary analysis conversations are still the same. but. isn’t learning foreign languages considered part of the humanities? at canterbury, a student can take Japanese if he so desires. Perhaps only two kids in the entire student body will choose to do so. but a single teacher, with a single subject, won’t need to be hired for those two eager students; students can learn on a computer, with a teacher as facilitator. technology gives us tremendous access to content. the content will come from the computer, not from a teacher, who has 16 other children, at varying ages of development and abilities, in her classroom. here again, perhaps a familiar parental protest: but how can you show me that computers in the classroom are worth the cost? and beyond that, that they’re better than a teacher? don’t computers undermine relationships between students and teachers, between classmates and peers, which are so important? sure, sure, library research is taught, and service projects assist in interpersonal relationships, but they’re just ancillary things…. When burns Jones was selected as one of 20 heads to attend a fellowship on independent school leadership in May, it became obvious that heads from all over the country are thinking about the same issues, struggling to manage educational change. how, then, do you process and manage educational change?

Schools and educators must be mindful, and aware of what’s going on, and being said and written, and of research results, within the industry. They must be careful, and considerate, and conscientious, rather than jumping on a bandwagon. Independent schools in particular — because they can, because they don’t answer to the state or federal government — have a bad habit of doing so.

Parents need direction and understanding. We need to do a better job of educating them. Canterbury’s job is to explain to parents why a particular approach has been chosen.

Schools must be more flexible in how they manage change. Teachers must be permitted to experiment and try different approaches, though never at the expense of a student.

What’s going on at canterbury is no different from what other great independent schools are grappling with. business, technology, and globalization factors are driving the change. says Jones, “you want us to be tackling this issue of change. We don’t have all the answers, but

we’re trying to get them. if we were sticking our heads in the sand, or trying to do what everyone else is doing, we’d lose our identity. the process might be uncomfortable and misunderstood, but we’re approaching it the right way.” and isn’t canterbury’s greatest strength that, even in the face of educational change, that over-reaching, occasionally terrifying phrase, what is going to continue to matter to, and continue to distinguish, high-achieving, academically excellent schools, is relationships and values? therein lays canterbury’s greatest strengths. the ultimate end of education is social betterment. teaching responsibility and calling, the development of morality and ethics, can only be achieved through a values-based approach. they can only be taught through experience and relationships that technology and educational fads have yet to provide. this year, every child in grade 2-8 has an iPad. but not in chapel. canterbury is changing, and will continue to change. What canterbury won’t do is be buffeted about by educational winds, if you’ll pardon another idiom, and ignore best practices in teaching. canterbury will continue to maintain a balanced approach to change, understanding that educational practices are tools, not directives. canterbury will continue to hire teachers based on their knowledge, integrity, and love for children. our “institutional identity,” our core, and our ethic of caring, is the nonnegotiable continuum that steadies us, even as conventional models — whether for algebra or amino acids — change.

tonight, most of america will go home to watch the ncaa Men’s basketball championship, the final destination in a college basketball player’s journey. only few have made it to this point. it is the culmination of hard work and dedication. uconn and Kentucky will square off in the game of their dreams and one team will play the game of their lives. For these players, this is what it has come down to, a game for all of the glory. but this glory will only be lived by 15 players. the rest of america and the world will watch trying to feel some of the glory, attempting to feel a sense of accomplishment, trying to cut themselves a piece of a pie that isn’t meant for them. the world we live in has become a world of spectators, millions and millions of people watching the few that live in the spotlight, the few that actually live the glory. We sit thinking that something will change; that there's one thing we can do and instantly everything will become better. We think that there is a change that we can make that will turn our lives around. suddenly we will become famous. suddenly we will have an abundance of money. suddenly we will be heroes. We think that we will magically be placed in a situation that changes our lives forever. so, instead of chasing these goals, we sit. We sit and watch those who have worked

for their goals. We sit in envy of those who found this secret – this magic fix. the fix doesn’t exist. sometimes we sit watching our lives drift away from us, holding on to the hope that the next day things will change. it is tempting to sit watching others’ lives unfold on tV, or in the movies, or even in real life. dreaming that one day this success will belong to us too. the only way to achieve this success is to find your goal and go out and achieve it. however not all paths are the way that God wants us to go. sometimes we must be patient and think if this is really the path that God wants us to take. success is anyone’s for the taking, but only those who put in the work will attain it. don’t sit around and watch others achieve it. live the glory. to live the glory is to be the star, it is to have the success that you dream of.

Jared albrIGht claSS oF 2014

When i was in 4th grade, i played on a baseball team called the scrappers. this season was my first season of Kid’s Pitch. i was horrible. My fielding was adequate, but there was much to be desired in my batting. if you think you are bad at any one thing, you should have seen me try to hit a baseball in 4th grade. hitting a baseball is one of the few things in sports that doesn’t come naturally to most people. it is something that no matter how athletic you are, you must practice if you want a chance to be good at it. and let me tell you, it was obvious that i didn’t practice. i finished the season putting the ball in play just once, which was a ground out to first. i was so distraught, that my dad called his good friend allen ashkenazi, the owner of Greensboro batting center. i went in for lessons for the next year and became very consistent at the plate. although i do not play baseball now, i experienced the success that hard work and determination bring. you get out of life what you put into it. God did not put a single one of you on this earth without the ability to be successful. but, God will also not hand it to you. no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you wait, it will not just happen to you while you sit idle. you must go and get it. because God will not just lay out your life for you. you must explore. you must take risks. you must make mistakes. you must take opportunities when they arise. and if you do, God

will watch over you and protect you. but without risks nothing will be accomplished. success is different for everyone. For me, success is the point at which you achieve your goals. and to find success, you must take the risk of being vulnerable to critics, to hatred, to failures, to shortcomings. because if you are just doing what everyone else is doing you will just be like everyone else. average. the world that we live in constantly challenges us, it is constantly pushing us down. you must find a way to push back – to not accept your current condition and to always strive for a better one. in 2012, nike© released an ad campaign titled “Find your Greatness.” one of the controversial commercials depicted an overweight 12-year old boy from ohio named nathan running down a road sweating profusely. i would like to read to you what was said in the commercial. “Greatness, it’s just something we made up. somehow we’ve come to believe greatness is a gift reserved for a chosen few. For prodiges, for superstars and the rest of us can only stand by watching. you can forget that. Greatness is not some rare dna strand, it’s not some precious thing. Greatness is no more unique to us than breathing. We are all capable of it. all of us.” then the voice stops and on the screen appears the words, “Find your Greatness.”

although these words are not spoken, they are the most powerful of all. this boy, who faces obstacles greater than most, is pushing through, defying all odds, in search of greatness. since the commercial, nathan lost 32 pounds. he didn’t listen to what society told him. he listened to the voice inside that told him to push on. God gave this voice to all of us. God did not simply give greatness to us, most of us were not born into greatness. but God did give us the instruments to get there. God will not walk the path for us, but he will mark the road. i believe this because if God walked the road for us, then it wouldn’t be our road, it would his. the american quarter has the words “in God We trust” inscribed on it i believe that trusting in God is necessary, but God also wants us to trust in ourselves. i believe that God has already given us the gifts to find the road he marked for us and to travel down it. some of these gifts may be traits we are born with. others are skills we develop with practice. We must trust in ourselves. We must see the path that we want to take and take it – never second guessing it. every failure is just one step closer to success. tonight, one team will succeed and one team will fail. as we leave this chapel, we will continue our journey. don’t be a spectator. claim what is yours. trust in God. trust in yourself. live the glory. Find your greatness.

Amen

The spring play this year was Oklahoma! Performed by students in

grades five through eight, this fun and lighthearted western showcased

the talents of 37 students in the middle school. Led by Tony Carrick and

parent volunteer Marianne Bennett, the actors provided the audience

with some knee-slapping fun!

on the evening of March 28, the canterbury campus was filled with the magic of possibility as the Mad science auction got underway. the sold-out event began with a lively silent auction in the haley athletic center until a “hazardous chemical spill” required Father Finnin and Wes Vogel to don hazmat suits and move the party to Ketner. this would be the last hoorah for Ketner, which is currently being renovated into a state-of-the-art science and technology center. Guests dined under glowing solar systems in a

Mad Science aUctionroom transformed in to a science wonderland. the live auction was a smashing success and even generated some last minute items, which both entertained the crowd and encouraged further generosity. Middle school technology coordinator John schoultz created a priceless video highlighting current students as well as alumni stating, “i am Mad about science and i Will make a difference.” this video was followed by a fundraising “paddle call” and inspired guests to give. an anonymous donor agreed to donate

$10,000 in matching funds and the challenge was met and exceeded! the Mad science auction was an amazing success that grossed almost $250,000 for canterbury school! a special thank you to the entire cPa auction committee, especially co-chairs barbara Palmer and tricia Faircloth, who put in countless hours nailing down details. “the numerous efforts of the whole auction team came full circle as shown by the support of the canterbury community,” says tricia, who added that the committee’s

goal of $130,000 was surpassed. “barbara and i both feel so fortunate to be a part of the wonderful team that made this auction such a success. the canterbury community is extremely generous and we are truly grateful.”

canterbury’s 19th graduation ceremony took place on Friday, June 6, 2013 in Phillips chapel. head of school burns Jones and board President scott Faircloth conferred diplomas on 40 accomplished 8th grade students. the class of 2014 selected middle school composition teacher, carolyn lamkins, as its speaker. While introducing the speaker, class member shami chideya, spoke of her love of hot Words and her stringent adherence to the rules and regulations of grammar. Mrs. lamkins, who retired this year after almost 50 years of teaching, spoke to the audience about her “assignment” from the class of 2014 and the things she had learned from the students themselves during their 8th grade sermons throughout the year. the following is an excerpt from that sermon:

GRaDuation

as one of you said, “life is like a sea on which you are trying to sail. it will rock you, shake you, and try to overthrow you. but, if you can sail through these times, then you become stronger, and you get.. to enjoy the beauty of life.” another said, “courage can be used for something like buckling into a shuttle to be launched into space or maybe something more simple like jumping off the high dive.” one of you said fear is the fuel of courage. that just as light cannot exist without dark, courage cannot exist without fear. Many of you have learned about fear and courage on our ropes course, whether it involved climbing the rock wall, or ascending the ladder for the highest element, finding your footing on the staples, trusting the person belaying you, and finally taking that first step out onto the log. some of you found courage to overcome your fears at Wilderness adventure when you went through the cave or biked up the infamous seven-minute hill. you have found courage to go down a giant water slide, to take the last crucial shot in a tie game, and to keep your head when a storm threatened to capsize your sailboat. certainly, if you ever had a fear of public speaking, you have overcome that fear. the sermons which you have delivered so beautifully this year

by Mary Dehnert

Following the commencement address, student council President robbie hutchison presented the class gift of an outdoor patio for haley athletic center. then Kim Markham presented the rosalyn tanner orr award for teaching excellence to 3rd grade teacher Penny summers for her exemplary work in meeting the individual needs of her students. the sterling P. Miller award for 2014 was presented by middle school math teacher linda allen to ashley brown, who was selected by the faculty as the 8th grader who best exemplifies the spirit and enthusiasm of founding head of school, sterling P. Miller. the canterbury service award, which had not been given since 2004, was given to Jack Maginnes for his work with als. the ceremony ended with the cherished canterbury tradition of the 2nd graders singing a farewell blessing to their chapel buddies as they prepared to march out of Phillips chapel as alumni.2013

Congratulations

are proof of that. you have conquered fears both small and great. you have conquered your fears and found the courage to speak aloud to your classmates and teachers. you have conquered your fears and found courage when you had to move to a new state or to a new school and start all over again. or, when your father was sent to iraq, and you had to hold down the house even though you feared for your dad’s safety. as one of you said so well, “in hard or scary times, we are really put to the test and are forced to look fear right in the face. but, with courage, we not only gain strength, we also gain confidence.” so, for myself and for all of us at canterbury, let me say thank you to you for all you have given to us, and, indeed, for all you have taught us. For myself and on behalf of all of us at canterbury, let me say thank you to your parents for sending us 46 absolutely wonderful young women and men. class, this assignment you gave me turned out to be very, very difficult. even more so than writing a research paper or taking a hot Words test. i thought it would be so easy. but, it looks like i flunked your assignment. a big, old, fat zero for me! still, i do so wish i could have thought of just one piece of advice for you. but, since i cannot, my little chickadees, i will use the obvious metaphor and say, “the time has come for you to leave your cozy nest here at canterbury and to fly away to a new chapter in your lives.”

record SprING For caNterbury teamS!cold weather and high amounts of precipitation (rain and snoW) weren’t the only record-worthy events in Greensboro during the spring of 2014. canterbury’s sports teams earned a few records of their own during the spring and throughout the entire 2013-2014 academic year! We are proud of the efforts that our coaches and athletes put forth year after year. these efforts are paying off and canterbury has become a perennial contender in every sport the cougars play! it wasn’t so many seasons ago that canterbury struggled to find enough players to even field a golf team. the spring of 2014 was quite the opposite. the cougars actually had enough golfers to field a and b level competition teams. both teams played extremely well throughout the spring and, as is often the case in this particular sport, had some ups and downs. however, our competitive a level group, led by coaches ted

bonaham, charles lucas, and david

buchanan, swung their best clubs when it

really mattered. although they regularly finished in the second place position when competing against the other four conference teams during the regular season, they struggled to find the top spot on the podium…until the tMac championship match at emerywood country club. sixth grader William ambro led all golfers in the tournament by shooting a 42. Mats Pokela ’14 (44), luke Joseph ’15 (47), and Will riggsbee ’16 (49) rounded out the scoring golfers for canterbury to bring home the first-ever tMac golf championship in school history! With a number of young core players on this championship squad and increasing interest in the sport, the immediate future looks extremely bright for our cougars on the course! despite finishing the regular season with a win-heavy 11-4 record, that was only good enough

for a second place finish for the canterbury girls’ soccer team in the highly competitive tMac conference. as the second seed going into the tMac tournament, coaches andy lee and thea Fitzgerald knew their road to the championship would be a challenging one since taking the title would mean defeating two of the teams they had fallen to during the regular season. after cruising through the semifinal game against one of these foes, Greensboro academy, the team looked strong heading into the tournament finals. their opponent, caldwell academy, was the only conference team the cougars had not defeated during the regular season, so the girls knew it would take their best effort to win the title. their best effort was better than caldwell’s on the day of the championship! Goals by caroline Fitzgerald ’14, nicolette robinson ’14, and ariel Mial ’15 and some stellar defensive play and goal keeping from cameron ringer ’15 and isabella lauver ’14 respectively secured the 3-1 championship win

for the cougars. coach lee is excited that many of his players from the 2014 championship team will return next year to defend their first tMac title since 2007. exciting and competitive play have become the norm in the spring for our boys’ lacrosse team led by coaches dave skeen and Will dubose. the boys did not disappoint during the spring of 2014. led offensively by Jack delligatti ’14 and tom hale ’14 and defensively by davis Jones ’14 and evan Mellon ’14, the cougars sailed through the regular season with an 8-2 record. tightly contested games against lax powerhouses durham academy and summit school helped to set the stage and prepare the boys for a wild end-of-season championship tournament. the boys sailed through the semifinals with a win over arch nemesis Forsyth country day school. this set up a championship game versus the stalwart summit school eagles. summit had been the only team to defeat the cougars during the regular season so coach skeen knew

the championship task would be a tall one. despite their best effort, the boys came up a few goals short of that elusive title cup. the future is bright with young contributors Whit edwards ’16, clay holmes ’15, and sam simpson ’15 poised to lead the cougars into the future. coach clayton hamilton’s boys’ tennis team battled through adversity throughout the spring. to start, several 5th graders were called upon to round out this year’s squad. some key injuries and stormy weather throughout the season provided some extra challenges for such a young team. When the stars aligned, number one seed cameron sherrill ’14 and number two seed Will hayes ’15 provided the leadership the team needed to propel them to victory. hayes will be called upon by coach hamilton in a major way to lead the boys during the much anticipated 2015 season. the strength of canterbury’s teams during the 2013-2014 school year was a tribute to the collective group of players that made up each

team and the coaches who guided them. the fact that canterbury appeared in championship games in seven out of a possible eight sports that hold championship contests and won four of those championships (boys’ soccer, girls’ basketball, girls’ soccer, golf) is a testament to the hard work of the players and the strategic minds of the coaches who guided them. it was certainly one of the most successful sports seasons in canterbury history but no one person involved on any of those teams was the sole reason for his or her team’s success. every fan knows that a cohesive group of teammates who mesh well and put their collective skill, effort, and focus toward a common goal is stronger than any individual player on the opposing team. i am proud to have had the opportunity to watch some very good individual athletes come together last year to break some records and to create some lasting memories on the canterbury sports fields. i can’t wait to see what 2015 will bring!

2013-14 Annual Report

canterbury kicked off our fifth capital campaign in the school’s history, Focus Forward, with lofty goals. the $9.5 million dollar effort marks the largest fundraising campaign in canterbury’s history and one of the largest ever undertaken by an independent school in our area. the goals of the campaign were created after a long and careful study of canterbury’s most important needs and opportunities to help us thrive for the next 20 years and

AnnuAL FunD 2014 rounDup by Meghan Davis

the 2014 invest in excellence annual Fund Campaign was a huge success. With gifts from parents, grandparents, alumni and friends, donors confirmed that an investment in our school is truly an investment in excellence. canterbury’s parents

continue to show their unwavering commitment to our students and teachers with 94 percent parent participation in the annual Fund campaign. again this year, 100 percent of canterbury’s board and cPa board also made annual Fund gifts. the success of the 2013-2014 invest in excellence campaign is due in large part to the strong leadership of annual Fund chairs stephanie and clint Farabow, parents of Web ’10, Gibson ’13 and brooks ’17. along with a dedicated parent volunteer committee, they implemented a fun and exciting campaign that raised a significant amount of necessary funds for our school. a special thank you to every donor and volunteer who made an investment in excellence by supporting canterbury’s annual Fund this year.

Campaign for Canterbury School

FoCus ForWArD CAmpAign upDAte

continuing into the future. our efforts to date have raised over $8.9 million dollars and the end is in sight. the last major piece of this campaign will involve what we’re calling our “West campus development.” With generous support from over 170 donors, we have doubled our endowment, built and endowed haley athletic center, constructed a beautiful fence around campus, purchased the house and property across the pond (to be used as our maintenance facility) and much more. our newly renovated science and technology building will allow our teachers to help students learn like never before. the development of the West campus will provide for additional middle school and athletic parking, more campus lighting, and the possibility of additional practice or playing fields and space. We know that you share in our excitement for canterbury and how much we have to be thankful for as we sprint toward our campaign finish line. We look forward to having 100% of our canterbury community support these efforts. Please contact Jill Jones, director of advancement (jonesj@canterburygso.org or 336-288-2007), about how you can help today.

on any given morning, as children file in from lower school carpool, there is no mistaking charlie ’21, brantley ’21, and lewis White ’23. the three brothers are usually running, always laughing, and clearly excited to be at canterbury. every now and then, the older boys must slow their pace so lewis can catch up, but almost always they enter the doors of Fry hall together. they are the youngest members of the White family and the energy appears to be hereditary. their parents, Jacalyn and brantley, are involved in the school in many ways. serving on the annual Fund, cPa and auction committees, as well as spending time in the classroom and chaperoning service learning field

trips are just a few ways they volunteer their time. their grandparents, Judy and len White, have been a special part of canterbury from the start. “We were thrilled when our friends susan and sterling Kelly started a group to create a unique educational opportunity for children in our area. by supporting their efforts, we were supporting Greensboro,” says Judy. twenty-two years later, they are one of 31 families who have supported canterbury through a gift to the annual Fund every single year since the school’s inception.

the Whites consider their support of canterbury a commitment they take seriously. While their financial support is important, Judy believes that a true appreciation for the “spirit of the school” happens when she gives her time on campus watching the interactions between faculty and students. a highlight of her volunteering has been reading to kindergartners and frequently attending chapel services. “the chapel buddy program that pairs a 6th grader with a kindergartner is remarkable. as i observed my grandson’s tie being straightened and a gentle reminder to be still from his chapel buddy, i was sincerely touched by the care and concern. there is an atmosphere of kindness that is pervasive throughout the school.” From the first time they visited canterbury, Jacalyn and brantley considered it home. they value the way their whole family is welcomed to campus and how the education is a partnership between the faculty, students, and parents. but it is not just the academics taught in the classroom that matter, it is so much more. “What i love most about canterbury is that my children realize the importance of giving to others: their time, their pocket change, their talents. they are learning the world is a big place and all of us have a responsibility to be good, thoughtful, and considerate people.” Jacalyn saw this first-hand when she visited Wellspring retirement community with Mrs. armstrong’s first grade class last year. “it was so moving to watch her class engage and interact with the residents. Watching the patience and gentleness my son brantley shared with a 90-year old gentleman as they enjoyed making a valentine card together… well, not sure what more i could ask for.” When len and Judy White made their first donation to canterbury school back in 1993, they could not have known that their grandchildren would one day be the recipients of the amazing education offered on our campus. it is families like the Whites who have helped make canterbury the place it is today.

20 yeArs to the AnnuAL FunDcanterbury would not be the school that it is today without this extraordinary group of donors who believed in the idea of what canterbury could become. these donors have given to the annual Fund for at least 20 consecutive years.

there are three good reasons you should have an estate plan; you, your family and canterbury school. an estate or planned gift can be a powerful and effective way to make a lasting impact on the canterbury community during a donor’s lifetime or at their time of death as a part of an overall financial and/or estate plan. While most people give because they want to provide greater support and improve the quality of life for future generations of canterbury students, this proper planning will also create significant tax benefits. donors can make gifts of cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate—even property/collectibles through a will or trust, life insurance, bequests and beneficiary proceeds, charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities. consider joining the many members of the canterbury community who include canterbury in their will by becoming a member of canterbury’s all saints’ circle for Planned Giving. if you are interested, please contact Jill Jones in the advancement office at jonesj@canterburygso.org or 336-288-2007 x110.

and needed program supplies.
