school better when we see it carried out in the lives

of other students and their families. Second, doing

life with others helps us identify the differences that

make us even stronger – there is a richness and

depth that develops in relationships where people

can challenge each other. Lastly, our children are

best served when we, as parents, are unified. “It

takes a village to raise a child” is a cliché for a rea-

son: I’ve noticed that the more connected the par-

ents of a class are, the more peaceful and successful

the class tends to be.

In this issue of Eagle’s Eye, you will hear stories of

students, teachers, parents and alumni connecting

in a variety of ways. I hope this will ignite even

more ideas, bringing our community closer as a

family in Christ. So whether tailgating before a

CHCA football game, praying with one of the open

groups for moms and dads at any of our campuses,

volunteering at Fall Festival or helping another par-

ent with carpooling duties, let’s stay connected and

get the most out of this remarkable community

called CHCA.

In Christ,

Randy Brunk

CHCA Head of School

When I was a middle school principal, I used to

closely watch how relationships grew for our new

students. For most kids, the entire school experi-

ence often hinges on who notices them each day

and wants to be with them. Rob Hall, principal at

CHCA Middle School, had this idea in mind when

he established his motto: “Every student. Connected.

Every day.” Even the smallest of connections makes

a difference in the life of a child.

But I have also noticed that we parents are in the

same boat. We may be many years removed from

grade school, but we still want a meaningful con-

nection with others who share our interests.

One of our school’s most compelling core values is

“A vibrant sense of community.” We discovered

years ago that CHCA is a place where people – stu-

dents and parents alike – “draw life” from “doing

life” with other people. That’s community. You’d

think being in four separate buildings could create a

challenge in fostering such an environment, but we

don’t have to all be in one place to get the best out

of community.

With crowded schedules and various demands on

our time, it’s easy to keep a distance and avoid

plugging in when you have the choice. But I think

there are three reasons this connectedness is so

important: first, we understand the mission of the

Celebration nets $257,000 for CHCA missionCHCA’s biennial Celebration auction is a great opportu-nity for our community to come together and do justwhat the name says: celebrate our students, celebrate themission, and celebrate a community that cares enoughto fund that mission for the next generation. This year,we raised over $257,000 for the school. Some othernumbers to note:

� $80,000 in sponsorships went directly to tuition assistance

� 673 people attended (the most ever), including parents, founders, alumni, grandparents, faculty and students

� 200 people were at the auction by 6:00 p.m., five of whom won valuable early bird prizes

� 93% of auction items were sold by the evening’s end

Students provided everything from greetings to enter-tainment, while some unique auction items provided theexcitement. Two families won the chance to help designoriginal stained glass pieces (to be installed in theMiracle Commons) by HS art teacher Tim Hilderbrand;our own junior high football coaches donated a cam-pout for the team; an unforgettable trip to Jack Hanna’scabin in Big Fork, Montana was won by one lucky fami-ly; and perhaps the cutest item of the night, the CavalierKing Charles Spaniel, went home with the family whohosted him.

The fellowship and friendships...

are just as important as the dollars we raise.

Winter Term 2010: a few snapshots from the road

4 � Eagle’s Eye | 2010

We are in the Pamukkale hot spring (close to where Jesus told the Laodiceansthat he would rather they be cold or hot than lukewarm). The white stuff is aresult of calcium deposits left by the hot springs - the one we’re standing in wasreally cold, but others were warmer. They supposedly have healing properties, but my knees were still sore afterward!

This is on the main street in Ephesus - we have just left the amphitheater andare heading toward the library.

This is a cabin owned by the U.S. Government that we passed on a 2-hour crosscountry skiing trek. Skiing was fun - there were some good hills, and we saw lotsof trees where bears had clawed the bark and a place where squirrels burrow inthe winter. This was the coldest day of our trip - 25 degrees below zero - but wehad plenty of layers.

We were skiing on a trail at the base of the Teton Mountains when our guide,Doug, showed us where we could dig up a bunch of animal bones. Only after Iheld this up to my face did I find out it was a moose pelvis.

Instrumental music programbegins at ArmlederThanks to a grant procured by the CHCA DevelopmentOffice and Fine Arts Department, Armleder enjoyed afull instrumental music program this year. Before, stu-dents took part in choral classes or used Orff instru-ments (think xylophones and glockenspiels); now theyalso have access to a bass guitar and a full complementof percussion instruments, including steel drums,meringue guiros, claves and various hand instruments.In addition to providing money to purchase instru-ments, chairs and music stands, the grant (from ananonymous local foundation) also funded installation ofsound attenuation materials, initial set-up costs, and twoyears of a teacher’s salary. (After two years, the salary willbe included in the Armleder budget.)

The program is open to all 5th-8th grade students,but is mandatory for all 5th-6th graders. “Getting ourArmleder students an instrumental music program hasbeen a goal of mine for years,” says Mona Summers,Director of CHCA Fine Arts. “Receiving this grant isexciting for me, the parents, our faculty and of course,the students. This will really add to their middle schoolexperience.” Principal Susan Miller agrees. “Kids want achance to create, whether through drawing, making music or writing a story. I’m so glad we can offer another way for our students to express themselves creatively.” � Deja Malone hammers out a few notes on one of Armleder’s steel drums.

CHCA Connected

How do four buildings on two campuses, each witha separate personality, come together as one family?

by Liz Bronson

ou’ve probably heard it said that CHCA is not just a school, it’s a family. Not only do we come together for things like ArtBeat, Fall Festival and Homecoming, we also have

a tendency to circle the wagons when someone is hurt-ing or needs extra help. This kind of extracurricularsharing of God’s love is a hallmark of Cincinnati Hillsand has been since its early days.

But until recently, it wasn’t as easy for us to connectduring the school day. Besides being geographically sep-arate, each of CHCA’s four buildings has their own dis-tinct flavor. What if those differences could yield learn-ing opportunities? “Coming together as a school familynot only models what students must do to have anenriching personal and professional life, it is a reflectionof the body of Christ,” says Dr. Dean Nicholas, MarthaS. Lindner High School Principal. “Paul tells theCorinthians that the body is a unit, though it is madeup of many parts. Our students see this in action whenthey cross geographic and age lines to learn, lead andserve together.”

Y

ties we might not otherwise have,” says ArmlederPrincipal Susan Miller. “It also is a great way to buildrelationships, broaden perspectives and share differentlife experiences. It provides leadership opportunities forolder students and role models for younger ones.”

Effort is made to get faculty together too, both tobuild cross-campus relationships and to share classroomstrategies. “It builds a sense of community,” Breithollesays. “We find we have something in common: thatwe're all in this to make these children as successful aswe can, academically, spiritually, in every way.” �

With that in mind, after redefining the school’s vision, mission and core values in 2008, each building becamemore purposeful about connecting with each other.

“We are offering a preschool through 12th grade edu-cation, so it’s important that CHCA act as one unit,”Sandy Breitholle, principal at Edyth B. LindnerElementary, points out. “Working together helps rein-force the CHCA mission and lets parents know we real-ly are with them from beginning to end.” Rob Hall,CHCA Middle School Principal, thinks it’s especiallyimportant to foster bonds between his campus andArmleder during the 5th-8th grade years. “Doing thingstogether has created a sense of anticipation for beingtogether at the high school,” he says. From socials andsports to musicals and dances, cross-campus activitieshave made that transition something to look forward to. “They see it as ‘we get another set of friends!’” Hall adds.

In addition to building relationships, it can be a mat-ter of accessing available resources. As a downtown cam-pus, Armleder has lots of options nearby when takingfield trips. When it came time to give the 150 PK-8 stu-dents access to arts, athletic and academic activities thathad Christ-centered focus, they knew all they had to dowas head north. “Because of Armleder’s size, connectingwith other buildings for activities opens up opportuni-

A friendlier freshman year

inth grade: you’re no longer the top of the middle school heap, there are tons of new people around, you can't see over the headsof the seniors and you don’t know where to

sit in chapel. Megan Parcell, biology teacher at MarthaS. Lindner High School, remembers these feelings anddecided to do something about it. “When I was in highschool, we had juniors and seniors who ran freshmanorientation and got us through the craziness of fresh-man year,” she says. “At CHCA, we have been trying tofind ways to build community in homeroom as well ashelp freshmen get connected early on. So I thought,why not try what we did at my high school and helpour ninth graders feel a part of CHCA?”

Parcell proposed the idea to 2009-2010 sophomoresand juniors, then had them apply. “We know the fresh-man class is eclectic and each student is different, so wewere looking for all personalities,” she explains. “Notjust leaders, but kids who are dedicated to the schooland who have a passion for helping someone have agreat first year of high school.” Applicants submitted ateacher recommendation and underwent a panel inter-view. Competition was stiff. Out of 47 students whoapplied, only 24 were accepted, enough for each of the12 single sex freshman homerooms to have a junior andsenior of their gender.

These upperclassmen will serve as mentors, meetingthe freshmen at orientation in August and running their15-minute daily homeroom period when school starts.“It’s theirs to own. They can decide to build communitywith their homeroom through dodge ball tournaments,birthday celebrations, discussions, service projects, thingslike that,” Parcell says. “Outside of school, these juniorsand seniors will help get the freshmen excited for dancesand Winter Term, hold tailgates before football games, and generally help them feel proud to be a part of CHCA.”

The program will undoubtedly affect the upperclass-men as much as the freshmen. “The junior and seniormentors get a shot at a leadership opportunity thatdoesn't involve grades or sports, and the freshmen see aface on the first day of orientation - someone who willbe on their side throughout their entire first year ofhigh school,” Parcell contends. “What's more, there areschool traditions that you want students to embrace,and I think getting our younger and older studentstogether will help that happen.”

Getting connected when you’re new at CHCA

by Natalie Pfister, Director of Enrollment

When our family enrolled our oldest child at CHCA in2001, we knew only one other family at the school. Atthe back-to-school party and during the first few weeksof school, I remember thinking that it seemed like every-one else already knew people, and I longed to be thatconnected. I decided at that point it was my choice toget plugged in. I volunteered in the classroom, arrangedplay dates, drove kids to field trips, attended parentgatherings and generally pushed myself beyond my com-fort zone to meet other parents and encourage friend-ships for my son. As our other children enrolled, wecontinued to look for ways to widen the circle. As I lookback on the ways our family has experienced the joy ofCHCA community, I know that investment has paid off.It just required a little initiative to make it happen.

As the Director of Enrollment, it’s now part of myjob to help new students and their parents get acclimat-ed to life at CHCA. The Parent Ambassador Programfocuses on helping new families plug in, and with allthe events on campus, there are literally dozens ofopportunities for students and parents to connect andfind a home here. (And with four kids on three of ourcampuses, I’ve probably been to every one of them!)From the Homecoming picnic in the fall to ArtBeat in

the spring, there’s something for everyone. Read on forsome additional perspectives from two people who werenew at CHCA in 2009-10.

James Riley, Class of 2013“After being homeschooled for the majority of my elementary and

middle school years, it was a big difference to come to CHCA for fresh-man year of high school. But I found that the school has a great commu-nity, and it was easy to get involved. The transition went well becauseeveryone was open and accepting.

“For me, being on the JV football team was a huge help. Liftingweights every day with my team and classmates, I developed friendshipsand even met kids who played other sports. There was also the student ambassador program that helped me get to know other new ninth graders.

“For anyone who’s new at CHCA, I would say find an activity, clubor sport you enjoy and get involved. You’ll meet people with the sameinterests as you and will develop relationships with a variety of people.”

Rebecca Sequeira, mom of Gabe (Class of 2013) andJonathan (Class of 2017)

“I knew I wanted to get involved, so I contacted [CHCA VolunteerCoordinator] Julie Carnes and asked her where she needed help themost. She gave me a few ideas, and I ended up selling spirit wear athome football games and covering the front desk at the high school.

“I also attended some PTF meetings. It was there that I met [CHCADevelopment Director] Anne Venters, who was looking for help with theCelebration auction. I became part of the Data Management team, metlots of other parents, and served at a great event.

“I tell anyone who’s new here to speak up, ask questions, and tell peo-ple ‘I’m new!’ You can learn a lot that way. And don’t just volunteerwhere your kids are - go where help is needed. You’ll meet a variety ofpeople who are excited to serve the school, too!”

More glad tidings came his way in April: he also scoreda perfect 2400 on his SAT. This means Brett got an 800on each of the test’s three portions - Critical Reading,Mathematics and Writing - on his second attempt. Justeight students in the entire state of Ohio (297 nation-wide) received a 2400 in 2009.

Brett, a CHCA student since first grade, says test prepcourses helped him get an extra boost. “With the ACTscore, I wasn’t that surprised because I came close the firsttime I took it,” Brett recalls. “But for the SAT, I was pret-ty shocked because there are some more difficult ques-tions and I didn’t do as well the first time.” With theweight of college entrance testing off his mind, he sayshe’s looking forward to a great senior year. “Next year Ihave five AP classes, plus my final season of soccer andlast year in the EJO,” Brett says. “Hopefully I’ll do a lotof college visits this summer to get ready for applicationsin the fall.”�

Even though much is still uncertainabout things like living arrangements, the fear is out-weighed by anticipation. “It’s scary and exhilarating,but I can’t wait to see where God leads.” Let’s justhope He leads her back to CHCA in a year’s time.

Meet the Musician:Ben Lapps, class of 2012 Plays: the acoustic guitar, drums and piano

How long I’ve been playing:I’ve been playing the guitar for about 4 years now, and Iam constantly going in and out of so many different styles ofmusic that I really never get tired of it.

Why I play: Music is a huge part of the most fun experiences in my life.I can’t stress it enough. For me, nothing is cooler thanfalling in love with a song I hear, and then learning to playfor myself.

Where it’s taken me: For the past couple years, I've developed a pretty solid rangeof experience in live performance. It started with my play-ing at restaurants around the city like Pitrelli’s andAnthony’s in Mason, Relish in Deerfield, and CoffeeEmporium downtown. From those building blocks, Iearned my way into bigger things like being the youngest

Alumni Affect Their World:Melissa (Kleine) Bingham ’99by Liz Bronson

Melissa (Kleine)Bingham loves anadventure. “I think itstems from watchingIndiana Jones movieswith my older sister,Julie, when we wereyoung," the Class of1999 grad says. “I’d siton the couch, mouth

hanging open, dreaming of jumping onto a train orslashing a whip to a tree to jump over a crevasse.There is a fire that ignited and it’s never died.”These days, instead of searching for the Holy Grail,Melissa seeks out people. As a nurse living inDenver, she takes every opportunity she can to minister to the sick and needy all over the world.

“My first medical missions trip was to Bosnia in2004,” she recalls, describing the eye-opening tripwhere she helped with basic medical exams and setup a clinic on wheels. “It was a mission trip to servethe Roma (the politically-correct name for gypsies)of inner-city Sarajevo. Of all the places I’ve traveled,the Roma were perhaps the most mystifying andalso the most impoverished. Not only was thewreckage of the war still very visible, but it blew mymind to see the lives of people who are so discrimi-nated against, the only place they could find to livesafely was in the city dump.”

After that, Melissa says, she was hooked. Whatfollowed were trips to Benin, West Africa, where sheworked in an orphanage; leisure excursions to Japan,Indonesia, Croatia, the Dominican Republic, Italyand France; and most recently, a trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. “I went with Matthew 25:Ministriesfive weeks after the earthquake,” Melissa says. “Weworked at several orphanages doing basic medicalexams. After we finished, we’d open the clinic to

those living in the tent camps.” The destruction wasgreat, but she realized even one small group of peo-ple can make a difference. “The body is just onedimension of human healing. In a time of suchtrauma, devastation, and sorrow the mind and spiritneed to be nurtured too,” she explains. “In the shorttime we were there, we didn't have enough medi-cine or tools to physically sustain these people, butour presence, attitude, and joy seemed to do themost healing.”

Melissa found a match in her husband Greg, wholikes an adventure just as much as she does. “Gregand I tend to like traveling to places we shouldn'tgo, like Pakistan,” she admits. “We went there inthe fall of 2008, right after a few bombings inIslamabad. We took so much criticism for going,but were determined to visit some missionaryfriends there. It ended up being an incredible,‘warm-fuzzy’ experience. I’d go back in a second.”

Far from being a passing fascination, Melissa’s lovefor travel and using her skills to help others has onlygrown in the years since she watched Indiana Jonesoutrun boulders and unearth wonders. “The cultureand simplicity of the developing world is more intri-guing to me now that I’ve experienced it,” she says,as she makes plans to return to Haiti this summerand establish a micronutrient program for orphan-ages. “I’m addicted to traveling, to helping, to expe-riencing something other then what I’m used to. To me, medical missions is mixing business with pleasure.”

Alumni Affect Their World:Lauren Rasmussen ’05

Even though she’s dreamed ofit since taking art in 10thgrade, Lauren says she neverreally thought about how farher love of animation wouldtake her. “I was definitely inthe minority in the Class of2005 with my interests -

drawing cartoons, reading comic books, watchinganimated films and studying the history of anima-tion as a hobby,” she remembers. “All I knew when Igraduated was that I wanted to tell stories, and Iwanted to draw them; whether those drawingsended up on the page or on a screen. My classmateswere more correct than they know when they pre-dicted I'd be ‘drawing cartoons’ in ten years.”

After a year of Gen Ed classes at EvangelUniversity, she transferred to one of the best anima-tion schools in the country, the Savannah College ofArt and Design (SCAD). “Needless to say, comingto this school is one of the best things that ever hap-pened to me. I’d never been able to sit down with agroup of friends over pizza and discuss our favorite

opening creditsequences for movies(for example, 101Dalmatians), and thenfind that another per-son shared my favorite,”she explains. “I was ableto really open up as aperson, realizing that -although I may be in anextremely small minori-ty - I’m not alone in myideas and fascinations.”

While attendingSCAD (in between

freelance design work for’ 05 CHCA alumnus Nick Petricca’s “various andawesome” music projects), Lauren spent 3 months abroad in Lacoste, a tiny town in the south of France.

“Being able to soak up the natural beauty and thedeep history of the place was just wonderful, andspending it all with a group of fellow animation stu-dents made it all the more memorable,” she says.

It’s been a good year for Lauren, and in Octoberit got even better: she got engaged to her dearfriend, Matthew Sparks. “We met the first year Itransferred to SCAD and it was all downhill fromthere,” she says with trademark wit. “Believe me, Inever thought I’d meet my future husband in aSpider-man costume at a comic book club meeting.God certainly has a sense of humor!” The coupleplans to get married in fall 2011.

Lauren is on track to graduate with a BFA in bothhand-drawn animation and sequential art in March2011. “My first contract animation job will begin thissummer, for a small theatrical/animation company inSavannah,” she says. There, she’ll start a number ofother projects that will likely take years to complete.“Whether I end up working in an animation studioor writing and drawing comic books independently isstill in the shadowy future,” Lauren says. “I'm excitedto see where God will point me next.”

to the traditional courses.” Then there are the businesses. Since his high

school days, Ian has been tirelessly entrepreneurial.“I’m running my OLPCinci laptop repair businessthat I started three years ago, and it's been profitableenough to fund further tinkering and creation,” hesays. “And the Olin Foundry, an incubator for stu-dent business ventures, has been quite useful as Icontinue with OLPCinci and work on a new start-up, prôto (a rapid product design, development, andprototyping group).” The Foundry program pro-vides office space, a conference room, an idea roomfor brainstorming, and access to a network of entre-preneurs, invaluable resources for any business - student-run or otherwise.

Ian is clearly a talented, inventive individual, buthe is quick to give CHCA credit when it comes topreparation for his life today. “CHCA did a wonder-ful job,” he notes. “The AP and Honors courses Itook prepared me well for my first year classes, andCHCA’s focus on being well-rounded, especially withregard to arts, humanities, and social sciences, greatlyenhanced my personal and scholastic growth.”

Ian has become an unstoppable innovator andidea-man, and there’s no telling where his next proj-ect will lead. What’s certain is that whatever hedoes, it will be anything but average.

Alumni Affect Their World:Ian Daniher ’08 by Liz Bronson

When I caught up with CHCA grad Ian Daniher,he had slept three hours in the last 48. While all-nighters and crazy sleep schedules are common foryour average college freshman, it's apparent there’snothing average about Ian.

After graduating from CHCA in 2008, Ian leftthe Midwest to attend the Franklin W. Olin Collegeof Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts. Thisschool is unique in that they admit a small classevery year (only 85 students in Ian’s Class of 2013 -he’s the only one from Ohio), and each one whoenrolls receives a full scholarship covering the eightsemesters of the baccalaureate program, currentlyvalued at approximately $140,000.

Ian, who is a natural at figuring out how thingswork, decided to major in electrical engineering.He's enjoying every minute. “It’s not an overstate-ment to say that I’m having the time of my life,” hesays. “Olin goes out of its way to facilitate personalgrowth in a manner that is truly mind-blowing. Ihave the freedom to rabidly pursue my interests,and Olin’s Passionate Pursuit and AcademicEndeavor funding programs have proven to be atremendous asset in my attempts.”

But don’t let the exclusive programs and challeng-ing curriculum fool you: Ian is no bookworm.You're more likely to see him running across cam-pus to a club meeting, etching circuit boards orteaching tutorials on lock picking (yes, lock picking- educational purposes only, of course) than huddledover a textbook in the library. “I’ve become extreme-ly involved,” Ian reveals. “Most notably, I’ve beenbuilding. I was always very hands-on during myCHCA years and Olin has given me the chance toexpand that. I recently assumed leadership ofCircuiteering, a club dedicated to electronics educa-tion and practical knowledge, sort of a supplement

Life after graduation:how alumni stay connected by Tracy Wolcott

As the Class of 2010 prepares to go to college, they joinfifteen classes of fellow CHCA alumni who are makingtheir mark on the world. As Alumni Relations Coor-dinator, I get to stay connected to them, hearing aboutthe degrees they’re earning, the families they’re starting,and the businesses they’re creating. Read a few of theClass Notes in this issue and you'll see the ways ourgrads are using the knowledge, leadership and heart forservice they developed at this school to impact others.

In an effort to find more ways to serve our alumni com-munity, we tried some new things this year:

� “Wingin’ it,” a new quarterly alumni newsletter, was created and e-mailed in March 2010. Alumni get it sent directly to their inbox, but anyone can read it on our website by visiting the Alumni community at chca-oh.org.

� Our alumni parent group, PAX, organized its first getaway weekend in October 2009. Seven couples (including Head of School Randy Brunk and wife Nancy, alumni parents) traveled to The Greenbrier inWest Virginia. PAX is planning its next trip to French Lick, Indiana for October 2010. Contact julie.carnes@chca-oh.org for more info.

� A survey was sent to our alumni to gauge how they feel CHCA prepared them for college and

life in general. Some of the results:� 161 grads participated (the free Chipotle gift card

incentive didn’t hurt)� 90% of those surveyed felt CHCA prepared them

for college� 80% felt CHCA helped them grow spiritually� Facebook was named the top way to stay

connected with fellow alumni� The Classes of 2004 and 2006 had the highest

participation rate, at 12.4%

We hope that our alumni (alumni parents too!) willcontinue to stay in touch - be sure to let us know ifyou’re moving, starting a new career, or just want tofind out what’s happening on campus. Need to updateyour contact info? Want a CHCA bib for that adorablenew baby of yours? Contact Tracy anytime atalumni@chca-oh.org.
