HEAD’S CORNER
Developing our Growth Mindset
We are fortunate at Greensboro Day School to have a dedicated
faculty who are eager to take advantage of professional growth opportunities. And, when
we support their interests and passions, they become more excited about their teaching,
which directly benefits our students.
Carol Dweck, a professor at Stanford University, has written extensively on the concept
of a “growth mindset,” which is the belief we can all continue to grow and develop our
knowledge and skills. According to Dweck, “people who have a growth mindset believe
their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains
and talent are just the starting point.” And, that describes our faculty to a tee!
Through the financial assistance provided by the Parents’ Association and the Brooks
Endowment, our faculty members are able to enhance their subject area knowledge and
stay current with improved educational practices through travel, workshops and more.
This issue of the GDS Magazine highlights just a few of the many professional
development opportunities provided our faculty through the support of PA Teacher
Enrichment Endowment Fund grants and the Brooks Endowment over the past year.
I believe you will enjoy reading about their adventures, and quickly see how much our
students benefit from these extraordinary experiences made possible by the generosity of
members of our community.
Speaking of generosity, this year’s Annual Report (found on page 38) is another example
of the tremendous support we receive from our parents, alumni, grandparents, teachers
and friends who recognize the outstanding work that GDS is doing each and every
day. Without this support we would not be able to offer the programs which make us
the educational leader in the Triad. It means so much to all of us to be part of such an
incredibly supportive community. Thanks to everyone for making it possible!

Letter From the Chair – fall 2014
While we are only 12 weeks into the new
school fiscal year (which started July 1), the
GDS Board of Trustees has hit the ground
running, with much being accomplished
already this term. This includes completing
the construction, dedication, and opening
of the beautiful Bell Family Middle School,
which, along with a new campus quadrangle,
auxiliary gym, and other improvements,
continues work that is transforming the
Greensboro Day School campus.
The first day of the 45th school term at
Greensboro Day School was August 20,
and shortly after that the GDS Board of
Trustees held its first meeting of the new
year. That inaugural meeting, which is
typically scheduled for a half-day, is divided
into two parts – a regular board business
meeting, with reports from Head of School
Mark Hale and various members of the
senior leadership team, and an annual retreat
featuring reports from each of the school’s
division directors. This year’s retreat did not
disappoint, and included in-depth reports on
the school’s International Student Program,
as well as strategic education program
overviews for the Lower School, Middle
School, and Upper School divisions. In
addition to this first board meeting, boardlevel committee meetings have already been
held by the Investment, Advancement,
Finance, Building and Grounds, and
Executive Committees. So there has been
significant activity already on the part of
the board and its committees, with much
exciting work ahead for the year.
A few notes regarding the board - the GDS
board of trustees is a working board, not a
ceremonial one. The board is responsible
for strategic direction and oversight for the
school, and for designating and supporting
a Head of School, ultimately ensuring the
successful execution of the school’s mission.
The board accomplishes this work through
the diligent efforts of a group of trustees (21
this year), each of whom sits on at least one
board-level committee or task force, with
many sitting on two committees, and in
some cases, three or more. This year, we
are excited and honored to welcome five
new trustees to the board – Lori Aycock,
current parent and PA President, Jeff
Beach, former trustee and past parent, Eric
Calhoun, another former trustee and past
parent, Harley Garrison, current parent of
two GDS students, and a member of the
Finance Committee prior to becoming a
trustee, and Grier Booker Richards ’97, an
alumna of Greensboro Day School and past
president of the GDS Alumni Association.
Each of these new trustees brings significant
talent, skills, and experience to the GDS
board. Please join me in welcoming them.
I would also like to take this opportunity
to sincerely thank all of the members of
the board of trustees, who so selflessly
give of their time and talent to ensure
that Greensboro Day School remains a
preeminent educational institution. To see
the complete roster of trustees for this year’s
board, visit www.greensboroday.org and
click “About Us,” then “Board of Trustees.”
Given that I am only 12 weeks into a threeyear term as board chair, readers of this
letter may want to know more regarding
my service history at GDS. My daughter,
Maris, started kindergarten at GDS in
2004, and had the great fortune to be
placed in Mrs. Sipe’s class. (Maris is now in
10th grade and, last year, Mrs. Sipe was her
mentor for Confirmation at Holy Trinity
Episcopal Church, where I was baptized in
1961.) I was asked in 2005 to serve on the
GDS Advancement Committee, and not long
after that my wife, Marilyn, and I chaired the
Lower School cabinet for the Annual Fund.
In addition to the Advancement Committee,
I later served on the Finance Committee,
and was asked to serve as a GDS trustee in
2009. As a trustee, I’ve served on the Strategic
Planning Task Force, the Insurance Task
Force, the Investment Committee, the Audit
Committee, and the Finance Committee,
and ultimately was asked to chair the Finance
Committee and serve as Treasurer of the
school.
For an institution the size of GDS, and with
a very important mission, opportunities and
challenges come along regularly, many of
them weighty. During my service tenure
at GDS, I’ve been extremely fortunate to
have worked closely with three recent board
chairs - Fran Tewkesbury, Burney Jennings,
and Ed Cone ’80, and our head of school and
his exemplary staff. I’ve been the beneficiary
of watching all of these people lead with
both high IQ and high EQ, no matter the
issue at hand, and in the process create a
board and senior leadership team governance
environment that fosters respectful, healthy,
and smart deliberation and decision-making,
to the great benefit of Greensboro Day School
and its mission. It is not a burden to serve in
this type of environment - it is energizing and
a privilege. As board chair, I look forward to
continuing the tradition of prior board chairs
- supporting the work being done by trustees,
our head of school, administrators, faculty,
and parent volunteers to help make GDS the
best school it can be.
Sincerely,
Jack Whitley, Chair
Greensboro Day School Board of Trustees

Campus
News
A New Central Quadrangle will be the Heart of our School
As stated in previous issues of GDS
Magazine, in October 2007, the Board of
Trustees adopted a bold new campus master
plan to guide Greensboro Day School’s
campus and facilities development toward
a 21st century educational environment.
Factors that shaped the campus master plan
at that time included:
• academic program needs
• grade configuration
• campus security
• basic plant operation
• environmental sustainability, and
• future traffic patterns in anticipation of
the completion of the urban loop.
for grades 5-8 that, in its own sustainable
design and operations, would serve
as a teaching environment. The new
Bell Family Middle School, completed
in August 2014, leads the campus
aesthetically in ambitious, yet modest,
ways and provides building features that
can be integrated into other existing
buildings through ongoing renovations
and additions over time. An example
of this is the western façade of the new
Auxiliary Gymnasium that incorporates
the tan siding of the new Bell Middle
School, into the pattern of familiar tan and
brown bricks of the older buildings.
The plan enables GDS to maintain
more of the campus in its natural state,
providing natural learning areas for our
students and creating a buffer from the
surrounding suburban sprawl. As the plan
is implemented, the entire campus will be
transformed into a vibrant learning facility
with environmental sustainability and
stewardship reflected in all facilities and
operations.
The last element of this phase of
construction is the infrastructure of our
new central Quadrangle. Having a natural
park in the middle of our campus will
be a defining feature for our school. Like
many colleges and schools, Greensboro
Day School’s central gathering space will
be the heart of campus and will eventually
have beautiful and interesting features that
reflect our core values and school ethos.
Our vision is for an environmentally green
educational oasis with two striking new
features:
1. A large central quadrangle that provides a
natural green community gathering space for
students
2. Reorientation of the main entrance to
Lake Brandt Road
Once the new building construction was
underway last year, school leaders called
on the GDS community to envision how
our Quadrangle can function and what we
want it to reflect about us as a school.
The first priority in the plan was to
construct a new Middle School building
Visions for Design Workshops in January 2014
Local architect John Drinkard of CJMW
led a series of focus groups in January
2014 to gather ideas from parents,
faculty, students, alumni, grandparents
By Anne Hurd
and community friends about what might
be in our quadrangle. Participants said our
quadrangle should:
• Provide space for both formal events and informal activities
• Promote social interaction
• Have a central area designed for large gatherings or events with infrastructure built in for lights and sound
• Provide intimate spaces for quiet reflection or private conversation
• Be a nice place to play
• Have outdoor seating for classes or dining
• Provide for pedestrian circulation
• Have a raised or designated stage area for performers
• Have places to display artwork by students or outside artists
• Include an outdoor amphitheater
• Provide opportunities for memorials or honorariums
• Have trees for shade in seating areas and for educational purposes
• Use landscaping to define different zones
• Have meaningful landscaping with plants varying in colors and textures
Based upon these ideas, and informed by the
topography and foot traffic of our campus,
the idea emerged for a simple rectangular
sidewalk grid pattern that defines a large
central grassy commons area that can be
set up for large gatherings or simple play.
Trees, lampposts and benches will define the
border of the commons. Around the edges of
the commons, different concepts have been
suggested for gathering areas and a place for
performances.
Because there is a significant drop in the
topography from the central quadrangle to
the area between the back of the center for
the arts and athletic center, there are several
interesting features that can be considered.
One feature is a serpentine sidewalk; one is
an outdoor grassy amphitheater. Other
6 | Fall 2014
ideas include artistic concrete benches,
sculpture that serves as bike racks, and
sidewalks inlaid with artwork. A stage area
could be demarked on the quad’s eastern
edge (near the Upper School) by a circular
pergola, checkered brick pattern or even a
permanent raised stage.
Another area of interest is the patio area
outside the McMillion Building, which
houses the Parents’ Association Media
Center. The conceptual plans include
options for a rounded terraced seating
area or a square terraced seating area, with
a variety of options of brick and grass. One
concept even suggests a circular labyrinth.
Trees and landscaping will play a large role
in the character of what will essentially be a
park in the center of our campus. A variety
of trees about which students will learn will
be included on the plans. Plantings in a
variety of colors and textures will give each
gathering spot a different feel.
Memorials and Honorariums
At Greensboro Day School, the partnership
of students, teachers and parents is
paramount in our school community.
Members of our school community
want to celebrate these relationships by
remembering someone special with a
unique and lasting gift; this design came up
frequently in the workshops.
There is an existing Campus Landscaping
Plan that will be updated with special
emphasis on the Quadrangle to provide
opportunities for tributes – honorariums
or memorials – with a lasting gift of a
name on a brick, tree or bench. Most
of these opportunities will be located in
and around the Quadrangle, but also in
various areas around the campus. Tribute
gifts can be made to GDS that will be
placed in a permanent endowment fund,
the income from which will be used to
create and maintain our beautiful learning
environment.
Bricks
The new Quadrangle will be built with
an immediate opportunity to pay tribute
to someone special. In the four center
intersections of the Quadrangle Commons,
commemorative bricks will be available
to give as tribute gifts each spring so that
alumni, graduating seniors or retiring faculty
– among others – can be honored. Orders
will be taken for a specified period with
bricks engraved and installed during the
summer.
When Samet Corporation completes this
phase of the campus master plan at the end
of 2014, the infrastructure will be in place
in the new Quadrangle for big or small
special events. This will include underground
electrical conduit for tent lighting and PA
systems, water drainage and irrigation. Above
the ground, the envisioned sidewalk grid, a
central grassy Commons area, and lampposts
will be installed.
As GDS nears the 50th Anniversary of its
founding (in 2020), we find opportunities to
create and maintain all across our campus the
new plazas, outdoor spaces and seating areas,
walking paths and extensive landscaping that
is anticipated and depicted on our campus
master plan. These plans, once realized,
will dramatically enhance the exterior
environment for the learning experience of
our students.

Teacher Enrichment Endowment Fund Grants
In the spring of 2014, the Parents’ Association once again awarded grants to several deserving faculty who submitted
proposals for summer learning opportunities. In all, the PA awarded $14,235 to 12 recipients. To follow are highlights of
some of these summer experiences:
Tuma Dances with the Yoga Dogs

Physical Education teacher
Kristen Tuma was offered
a Parents’ Association
Teacher Enrichment
Endowment Fund Grant
to attend Dancing Dogs
Yoga Greensboro’s 100Hour Intensive Teacher
Training last May. The
six-day training included:
sequencing of yoga postures
and poses, methodology,
how to teach an effective
yoga class, proper alignment
and modifications, and how
to live off your mat. She will
conclude the final 100 hours
of yoga teacher training by
December 2014, and at
that time will be considered
a Yoga Alliance Certified
teacher (RYT 200).
Starting in January, she
will teach a semester-long
yoga course that is part
of the Physical Education
Department’s Upper School
course offerings. Currently
34 students are enrolled.
Not only will students learn
and practice postures and
poses, but they will also
learn breathing methods,
philosophy and relaxation
techniques.
“Navigating the world as a
teen these days is tougher
than ever with academic,
extracurricular, social,
and emotional demands;
nevermind the endless time
and energy spent in the
social media world
of Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, etc.,” Tuma
explains. “Yoga provides
students with the perfect
opportunity to disconnect
from the fast-paced world
they live in and slow down.”
Students will also have the
opportunity to experience
improved strength, flexibility
and balance, in addition
to many other physical
benefits. This course is oneof-a-kind here in Greensboro
and GDS students have
a unique opportunity to
participate in a class that
is not available to other
students in the area. Tuma
and a GDS alumna, Jane
Andrews Nelson Brantley
’04, are scheduled to coteach a yoga class during
GDS Alumni Weekend 2015.
Learning to Lead
To support her roles as lead faculty advisor to the Honor Board and Honor Code Committee, Upper
School technology coordinator Chrissy Olson ’85, attended the Gardner Carney Leadership Lab. The
Leadership Lab is unique in that it puts participants in the same situation as students at, and the
faculty of the Lab taught in the manner that participants should use in schools.
“The Lab helped me understand the depth and complexity of the act of leadership and that
the teaching of leadership is even more layered,” Olson says. “I have always been interested in
motivation. My work with the Honor Board, Honor Code Committee, Ethical Literacy Committee,
swim team and my applied technology course has changed the direction of my interest from
‘how can I motivate and lead?’ to ‘how can I teach students to motivate and lead? Thus, creating a
student-led environment.”

Living La Vida España
Upper School Spanish teacher Ayesha Swinton
joined Lower School Spanish teacher, Morgan
Sharp, for three weeks learning about the culture
of Equatorial Guinea, the only Spanish speaking
country in Africa. (see page 20) Following their
adventure, her PA grant took her to Madrid for a
week of immersion with a local family while she
attended La Aventura Española Spanish Language
School.
“In our sunny classroom, a handful of students
from North Carolina, Australia, London, Florida,
and Germany chatted about indirect speech, the
subjunctive mood, and even practiced calling a
plumber to fix a leaky pipe that led to irreparable
water damage in a Madrid apartment,” Swinton
recalls. “After class we all went together for bike
rides, ice cream, tapas, palace visits, improv comedy
clubs and Kizomba dancing.”
Swinton,

with her
classmates
In addition to language acquisition, the GDS World
Languages Department is striving to teach GDS
students to be culturally literate. According to E.D.
Hirsch, cultural literacy is ‘the ability to understand
and participate fluently in a given culture. The
culturally literate person is able to talk to and
understand others of that culture with fluency’.
As a teacher in this department, Swinton is also
striving to become increasingly literate in the area of
Hispanic culture.
This year, one of Swinton’s professional goals is
to improve upon the tenet of Global Education
and Sustainability in her classroom. In addition to
various culture study and mini-immersion projects,
she will have guests from Nicaragua, Venezuela,
the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico coming to
interact with her students.
“Being in Spain, I reconfirmed what I already know
to be true,” Swinton explains. “In order to maximize
their language acquisition, our students need
to listen to and speak with native speakers and
whenever possible immerse themselves in the
myriad of Hispanic cultures.
Campus News
Conference Re-enforces
the Physical in Education
Karen Radecki, another physical education
teacher at GDS, attended the National
Physical Education Institute Conference
in Asheville to learn tools, strategies and
information on developing K-12 curriculum
aligned with student assessment. During her
three days at the conference, she learned
information that will help her develop her
curriculum, including:
• Healthy active kids make better learners.
• Exercise benefits the brain first. Why? Because exercise grows new brain cells and gives the brain more capacity to learn.
• Exercise boosts brain functions, improves cognition, strengthens memory, prepares the brain to learn, regulates behavior, and can positively change the brain.
• Students learn 10% more by standing because their large muscles are engaged.
Martin Trains Educators
GDS Earth Science
teacher Tim Martin
has been instrumental
in planning and
presenting several
education workshops
that have been jointly
sponsored by the North Carolina Geological
Survey, NC Division of Emergency
Management, and NCDENR.
K-12 and informal educators from across the
state of North Carolina learned about:
History of North Carolina earthquakes
How to prepare for an earthquake emergency
New Earth Science curriculum correlated to Essential Standards
Hands-on activities to bring back to classrooms
Many of the lessons and activities presented
at this workshop are part of the standard
GDS Earth Science curriculum each year.
Workshops were presented in Asheville,
Charlotte and Winston-Salem throughout
the month of September.

Jose Navarro
By Cristi Phillips Driver ’86
Jose Navarro has been teaching Middle School Spanish at Greensboro
Day School for the past nine years. Originally born in Mexico, Navarro
moved to Los Angeles at age 7 and ended up in North Carolina when
his family moved to Siler City while he was in his teens.
A graduate of UNC Greensboro with both a bachelor’s degree in
Spanish and a master’s degree in English as a Second Language (ESL),
Navarro knew he wanted to work with kids teaching language.
“One of the things I like best about teaching middle school is that I
get to teach students as early as 5th grade and get them back every
year until high school. Many teachers only get to teach these kids
for one year, but I get them back-to-back and really get to see them
develop and grow,” Navarro said. “Developing this type of teacherstudent relationship really helps with trust and learning.”
It’s apparent his relationship with his students is a strong one. Just
last year, he received the Alumni Extra Yard Award, given by the
GDS Alumni Association to two teachers each year who go “above
and beyond” to impact another person’s life, a program or their
community.
“Señor Navarro always teaches us while making it fun and exciting,”
says Brooke Sanders ’19, one of the many students who nominated
him. “He offers multiple formats for each project to be completed so
that all students can utilize their individual talents. Señor Navarro
goes above and beyond so that each student can receive the best
education possible.”
Having previously taught in the public school system, Navarro says
one of the biggest differences he’s found between GDS and public
school is parent involvement. “I always have great parent support
here,” Navarro said. “If there is ever a concern with a student, within
one day, I can meet with a parent and have a plan in place to get them
back on track. This was not something I had on a regular basis in the
public schools.”
Navarro still stays close to his N.C. roots, living in Siler City with his
wife, Maria, of 10 years and their three sons, a kindergartner, a 5th
grader and a high school sophomore. His family likes to spend a
lot of time visiting the mountains and the coast. In his spare time,
Navarro is also an avid runner, but you won’t catch him running any
marathons. “Not a lot of people know I am a runner. I just run for my
health and well being,” he said.
Navarro says what keeps him motivated to continue teaching at GDS
is the kids. “Our students really want to learn, and with that, along
with such strong parent support, I can do so much. I can see their
progress and watch them grow,” Navarro added. “I couldn’t be at a
better place.”

Fall Season Kicks-Off High Hope
While only earning one
conference championship this
fall, the Bengals played with
class and determination as they
kicked-off a highly anticipated
2014-15 season.
It was a 6th consecutive
conference title for the varsity
girls’ tennis team this fall. This
year’s top six players were diverse
in age – seniors, a sophomore
and a freshman – which leads
many to believe the Lady Bengals
will continue their conference
dominance for years to come.

The varsity boys’ soccer team
finished the regular season
as runners-up in the PACIS
conference, finishing 7-3 in
conference play. In the NCISAA
state tournament, the Bengals
lost to a very good Charlotte
Latin team in the first round
match. The Bengals were led
by a small but dedicated fourperson senior class, all of whom
displayed outstanding leadership
throughout the entire season.
The soccer program will miss
each member of this senior class,
however the future is bright as 17
players from this team will return
in 2015.
With ten returning seniors,
the 2014 field hockey season
was an exciting one. The team
finished with an 8-10 record
and advanced to the first round
of state playoffs against Forsyth
Country Day. The Lady Bengals
went into two overtimes and
strokes against the Furies, but lost
in strokes 2-1.
The varsity girls’ golf team
ended their regular season
with a 5-5 record. On the last
day of the season, the Lady
Bengal golfers surged into the
state tournament by moving
up one place (8th) to claim
the last qualifying spot. The
Bengals were led throughout
the season by sophomore
Taylor Bair, who scored a
team, and season, low 9-hole
score of 40.
Sarah Price ’18
The varsity volleyball team
also had a decent season. The
team played hard, improved
every game, and had a lot of

fun doing it. Our four seniors
did a great job leading the team
and laid the foundation for
the underclassman to continue
building the program. Both the boys’ and girls’ cross
country teams competed
well against conference and
non-conference opponents
on a variety of terrain around
the state. They also had the
chance to run on GDS’
new home course located
at Guilford College. This
collegiate-level course was
very challenging and will be
well-used over the next few
years. The Bengals concluded
the season with several strong
performances at the state meet
on a tough mountain course in
Hendersonville, N.C. The girls
finished as a top-10 team in the
state, led by PACIS runner of
the year Kaitlyn Lingard ’15,
who finished 4th in the race
earning her all-state honors.

THE CHARLES McLENDON
Founders Society
The Charles McLendon Founders Society recognizes those individuals who have
made provisions for GDS in their estate plans. Such provisions may take the form of a bequest, the
designation of GDS as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, the establishment of a charitable trust
with GDS as the beneficiary, the assignment of a title to a primary residence or other planned gift
arrangement. Gifts are designated or restricted according to the donor’s wishes. Most often, donors
choose to direct planned estate gifts to the School’s permanent endowment, or to provide their own
named endowment fund for a specific purpose.
Membership in the McLendon Society is a special distinction, signaling the donor’s understanding
that the future of the Day School is a priority now in planning for the ultimate gift upon their
death. It is a lifelong commitment to the School’s future welfare. Because of the great variety of gift
vehicles and giving opportunities available, donors can make a very personal statement about their
care and concern for the children who attend the school.

referred to as “harvesting daylight”. From inside, this is a view out of the front doors of the Lobby with the
administration offices on the right and conference room on the left.
2 One of the sustainable features is polished concrete
floors. Wood lockers are beautiful and reduce the noise of
lockers slamming shut in hallways.
3 The lights of each classroom are regulated with
occupancy sensors and photosensors. Ventilation and
shade naturally reduces air conditioning and heating
(HVAC) load. This is the 5-6 Science Classroom.
4 Each classroom has a sloped ceiling, a full-length
teaching wall with a short-throw projector, and tectum
ceiling panels and carpet for noise reduction. Carpet
squares make spot replacement easy and cost-effective.

The Green & Gold Day Fall Festival returned to its roots this year!
Having been held on a Saturday the last few years, this year’s event was
once again free and held after-school on a Friday afternoon. Mother
Nature brought us 70-degree weather on October 17… who could ask
for anything more?! A special ‘thank you’ goes to the dozens of parent

Annual Fund First!
I chose GDS for my children 8 years ago
to prepare them for college. Now that
I have a graduate, I realize that GDS
has prepared him for life, not just for
four years. From seeking out help from
teachers to navigating Open Campus
periods to tutoring kids at other schools,
he has had various learning opportunities
that I never had and that he would not
have at other schools.
Now, as the parent of a senior, I wanted
to be involved my last year as a parent at
GDS. The Annual Fund is a good way
to see all the good going on at the school.
To chair the Annual Fund is a privilege
for me and I appreciate working with the
grateful parents, alumni, grandparents,
faculty and staff who are a part of
Greensboro Day School.
The Annual Fund supports all of the
programs that make Greensboro Day
School unique. Please consider joining me
in making a gift of any amount today!

Spanish Immersion
“Off the Beaten Path”
T
his past summer, the Brooks
Sabbatical Endowment Fund
Grant generously provided
the opportunity for me to
“create my own adventure” in
professional development. This is my 9th
year serving as Greensboro Day School’s
Lower School Spanish teacher. In this role, it
is a highly personal and professional priority
for me to travel to, and learn about, the
Spanish speaking areas in our world. For
years, Equatorial Guinea, the only Spanish
speaking nation in Africa, has teased my
imagination as a Spanish speaking culture that
is so entirely different from Latin American
countries. It was a place that crossed my path
occasionally as I studied and taught Spanish.
Maps and flags but little else would appear in
compilations of Spanish-speaking nations in
books and on Web sites. When researching
Equatorial Guinea, I found information to
be sparse; this was truly a place I needed
to see for myself in order to gain some
understanding.
Early in my planning stages for this trip, I
was fortunate to have Ayesha Swinton, a
fellow GDS Spanish teacher, agree to join me.
Together, we were a dynamic duo – navigating
school interviews, new cities and countryside;
we traveled and gathered information for
GDS’s Spanish curriculum. Overall, we spent
just under a month in Equatorial Guinea.
During that time, we thoroughly explored the
capital city, Malabo, visited several schools,
journeyed to the small mountain town of
Moka to learn about their bio-protection
program, and traveled through the city of
Bata and a border town of the Monte Alen
National Park.
Here I will share just a few of the experiences
we gained over the summer. Please visit our
blog, detailed at the end of this article, for
more adventures.

By Morgan Sharp
Lower School Spanish Teacher and ESL Instructor, and 2014 Brooks Sabbatical Recipient
students who were willing and permission
to record their responses. We spoke with
two different groups of 10-15 students. We
asked them questions about which classes
they liked best, what they hoped to do after
high school, if they had jobs at home or
outside the house after school, and what
kinds of music they liked, which led to four
students showing us a dance! Some of the
children were very quiet and soft spoken,
but in each group there were at least a few
who were talkative. The most inspiring
responses we heard were about their future
plans. Every child we talked to had a career
in mind for their future. A part of Malabo we appreciated was
the prevalence of cultural centers. In the
downtown area there are three centers:
Centro de Cultura Frances, Española, and
Equatoguineano. Each cultural center has
a café with traditional food, game rooms,
stages and gathering rooms for concerts and
presentations, libraries, internet connectivity,
and many events and classes. We attended a
concert of Ecuatoguineano hip hop artists,
a cultural presentation of the nation’s
four islands with children’s games, chants,
traditional musicians, and younger pop
musicians. We even took part in a traditional
cooking lesson from the cooks at the
Ecuatoguineano cultural center. The menu
included snapper cooked in peanut sauce
over rice, huge land snails cooked in tomato
herb sauce, and chicken kabobs. We were able to visit several different
schools while in Equatorial Guinea. One
school was a primary through secondary
school called “Escuela Padre Labrado” in the
neighborhood of Ela Nguema, located in the
capital city, Malabo. This school, like most,
has two different sessions each day. One set
of students attend from 8:00 a.m.-12:00
p.m. and a new group comes from 1:00-5:00
p.m.
When we visited, the children only had
two weeks of school left before the end of
their year, and many classes were taking
final exams which consisted of the teacher
asking verbal questions and the students
writing their answers on notebook paper.
They all worked on crudely built wooden
benches with a long board across the top to
bare down on. The principal took us into
several different rooms and let us introduce
ourselves. The students all stood up as we
walked in, and said, “Buenas Tardes,” in
unison. They waited for permission from
their teacher to sit. They listened quietly as
Students in Moka try on their new GDS gear
Children in escuela padre labrado
Ayesha and I explained that we were visiting
teachers from the USA who wanted to learn
about their country so our Spanish students
could learn about Equatorial Guinea. The
principal gave us permission to “interview”
They had plenty of questions for us as
well: Do we know how to ski? What
do we like to do? What is the culture of
the USA like? What are the people like
there? Where is our school? To answer
this one I drew a terrible map of the USA
on the chalk board and identified major
landmarks, as I pointed out California,
New York, Washington, D.C., Florida…
I was amazed. The students recognized
the names of these states, and when
I drew the Carolinas I heard several,
“Oh, si, Carolina,” comments echoing
around the room. How had they heard
of the Carolinas? It only took a few more
questions to realize that several students
knew of Michael Jordan!
We left the capital city to visit a rural
mountain town, Moka, to learn about the
Bioko biodiversity protection program.
Small groups of mainly American
researchers have been on Bioko island for
the past 15 years studying the primates
and sea turtles unique to this area. Over
their time there, they have worked with
the government to establish a national
protection area, and they have made
attempts to educate the local community
GDS Magazine | 21
to think of one for when we visited their
school. We decided to start our interaction
with the children with these games. First,
we taught them four corners. They giggled
and snuck from corner to corner and the
ones who got out helped me count to ten
in English. Next we tried red light, green
light. The principal showed us a poster on
the wall of a stop light with explanations of
each color. They don’t have stop lights in
this town so they had a lesson on the signals
to prepare the students for when they go to
Malabo.
about the national resources of the island.
Bush meat is a delicacy in Equatorial
Guinea, and the primate populations
are heavily hunted. There are posted “no
hunting” signs around the main roads
leading into the area, but enforcement is
inconsistent. This has been very frustrating
for the researchers, but they continue to
track the dwindling primate populations,
organize volunteers to track the sea turtle
populations who nest on the southern coast
of Bioko island, and conduct programming
for school-aged children to inspire
conservationist attitudes in the younger
generation. A
s our taxi climbed the
mountain to reach Moka,
the air got fresher and cooler.
Clouds of condensation
covered the vehicle and the
surrounding hills. In the small village, we
were dropped off outside of Mama Rosa’s
house. In the village, older women are called
“Mama.” Mama Rosa is an 87-year-old
woman who rents out a separate section of
her home to travelers. Her daughter, who
is also named Rosa, lives in another house
right down the street, and it is the younger
Rosa who actually handles the business
transaction. She offered to cook for us for a
small extra fee, which we quickly accepted
since there are no restaurants and only a
few sparsely stocked stores in the village.
The people here are all farmers; everyone
has their plot of land. We saw green beans,
eggplants, elephant ear leaves, guavas,
Morgan with both “Mama Rosas” and their granddaughters
bananas, hot peppers, cabbage, cucumber,
and zucchini. Chickens and goats wandered,
searching for the next bug or spot of grass to
chomp. When we explained to the younger Rosa that
we were teachers and hoped to visit the local
school, she walked down the road to find the
school principal and the mayor of the town
to arrange our visit. The mountain makes
its own weather, most of it rain, so the next
morning we walked to the school in raincoats
and umbrellas dragging along a small suitcase
with Greensboro Day School souvenirs we
brought as a gift for the school children.
The principal, Señor Donato, welcomed
us and assembled the students. There were
about 60 children from 1st through 6th
grade. After 6th grade they live with a
relative or friend of the family in Malabo,
two hours away, if they continue studying. The majority of the students watched us
shyly as we explained who we were. There
were a few children in the group who we met
walking around the town the night before,
and they watched us expectantly. When
we met them they were playing a clapping,
stomping game called ’palmadas’ which they
patiently tried to teach us. They asked if we
had a game to teach them, and we promised
Ayesha & Morgan overlooking Moka
22 | Fall 2014
After our games, Señor Donato asked the
children to show us some dances and songs.
They girls gathered in a circle and chanted
in a tribal language, Bubi (everyone in the
town of Moka is from the Bubi tribe). Twoby-two, girls entered the circle then stepped
back out. Then the boys took a turn;
they lined up in two opposing lines and
again, two-by-two took turns approaching
the other side. Señor Donato explained
that the songs were about welcome and
happiness. Next, he chose different classes
to sing national songs for us. We heard one
about building a new society, one for the
president’s birthday, and one explaining the
colors of the flag. They requested a song
from us. “Hum,” we thought...America the
Beautiful, the Pledge of Allegiance? We went
with Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes! T
he following day, we casually
came across Señor Donato
in the street. He said, “You
didn’t have time to hear about
our history yesterday, maybe
you have time now?” We followed him into
a classroom where he explained that the
Spanish conquest occurred about 200 years
ago. Soon after, laws proclaimed Spanish
would become the official language and
Catholicism would be the official religion.
He patiently answered our questions and
gave us more information about the Bubi
tribe. We learned that while the Bubi
people are Catholic, there are still many
ways in which their older customs are
prevalent. They believe their ancestors’
spirits can possess community members
with knowledge and healing abilities, and
they still go to these people for healing.
They present 3-day-old babies to the
community with a naming festival, and the
baby receives a beaded bracelet which he/
she will wear their whole lives. Every year
they have a ñame (sweet potato) festival
where they give thanks for their harvests
and good health. Equatorial Guinea is made
up of several tribes, but historically Bioko
island was Bubi land. This was a wonderful
opportunity to learn more about their
culture.
Now that Ayesha and I are back in
Greensboro with our students, we are
working hard to develop curriculum about
Equatorial Guinea so GDS students can
learn about this unique Spanish-speaking
country. We developed several contacts
who are excited to partner with us to create
penpal exchange opportunities with
our students.
Ayesha and I had many interesting
experiences and interactions during
the summer. We catalogued our
favorite moments in a blog, which
you can visit by scanning the QR
code above.

Letter from the Alumni Director
GDS is anything but what it was in the 13-14
school year. The Bell Family Middle School
opened for students in August and the new
auxiliary gymnasium, as part of the J. Fred
Johnson Sports Complex, is currently under
construction and should open by January. We
have removed the original Upper School and
recent former Middle School building to make
way for a central quadrangle. We graduated 100
students, our largest class ever. These graduates
were accepted to 181 institutions and were
awarded a record-setting $5.8 million in merit
scholarships.
In August, Annalise Graves ’15, rang the gong at the opening ceremony 45 times
and we were reminded of the potential of every student destined to succeed
under the guidance of our energetic and wise faculty. GDS students aren’t just
here to seize the opportunities, but here to make their own, just as you did during
your time here.
For so many here, the season marks the start of something new, and I count
myself among them. As change has happened all around the GDS campus, it’s

Attention
GDS Classes of ’12, ’13, & ’14: Want to go to South Africa?
In Port Elizabeth, you will reside in a
local hostel where the group works as
a team, assuming various household
duties including nightly meal
preparation and light housekeeping.
Each evening, participants are given
time to reflect and prepare for the
following day’s activities. Time is also
reserved for exploring area historical
and cultural attractions.
Greensboro Day School’s Summer Global
Program to Cape Town and Port Elizabeth
in South Africa will be from July 1 – July
18. Begun in 2000 by John Lombardo,
Artworks for Youth is a non-profit
organization providing art education
and academic support to underserved
students in Joe Slovo Township. We are
seeking a small group of GDS alumni
to travel with a group of current GDS
students to partake in two full weeks of
service opportunities, study, and cultural
exploration while becoming immersed in
the vibrant and dynamic culture of South
Africa.
This opportunity is a good match
for alumni with an interest in social
work, social justice, education, art,
political development, counseling,
and the history of apartheid.
Successful candidates should be able to
lead a group and also be able to follow
the leadership of others. Participants
should be prepared to participate in
educational programming associated
with the program prior to departure
in July. The approximate cost of this
trip is $5,500 which is inclusive of all
expenses.
For more information or if you would like to
speak with a recent alumni who participated
last year, please contact Robert Mimms at
[email protected].
In Cape Town, you will learn about South
Africa’s apartheid movement through
visiting the District Six Museum and
touring Robben Island. On Robben
Island there will be a Q & A dinner with
Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela’s prison
guard on Robben Island. We will also visit
environmental wonders such as coastal
villages, Table Mountain, and the Cape of
Good Hope. The time in Cape Town will
give the group a comparative framework
for their service work in Port Elizabeth.

Rick Smith’s ’77
By Cristi Driver ’86
Diverse Career in Politics, Business and Serenity
Rick Smith was one of 20 graduating seniors in
1977, part of the third class to graduate
GDS. Smith went on to study politics at
Princeton University and after graduating
in 1981, volunteered for the Democratic
Party in Raleigh, N.C., working on former
Congressman Robin Britt’s campaign. But
politics was not where he would stay for long.
Smith’s career path would take many
interesting twists and turns over the years,
and would eventually lead him to follow his
passion, and even bring him back full circle
into politics.
After a brief stint as a legislative intern in
Washington, D.C., Smith decided that
politics was not where he wanted to be and
joined the business world. Smith went to
Wharton Business School at the University of
Pennsylvania and graduated with an MBA in
marketing in 1987. He worked for six years
consulting with companies like Procter &
Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, and then
moved to Cincinnati Bell Telephone where
he worked in marketing for several years.
In 1996, Smith caught the entrepreneurial
bug, and ran a small business that developed
hardware and software for medical research
scientists. In 2000, he joined an Internet
consulting firm.
“After the 2004 election I decided that
rhetoric and corruption were winning in
politics, and I decided to do something about
it. I became active in politics by acting as a
campaign manager and treasurer for local
campaigns and even running for State Senate
in 2006, though I ultimately lost the race,”
Smith said.
30 | Fall 2014
It was the stress of his political campaign that
led him to begin the practice of Tai Chi and
would lead to his newest venture, marketing
a new product called WholiSound My
Serenity Box™. My Serenity Box is a truly
unique product that takes the relaxation, pain
relief and healing benefits of Tai Chi and puts
them into one powerful little box.
Smith saw the power in this product and
began talking with Lasorso about turning it
into a business. After many iterations of the
product, in 2007 and again in 2010, they
did preliminary studies and found blood
pressure often decreased, stress dissipated,
muscles released and a sense of calm and
well-being prevailed.
“When I joined the White Willow School
of Tai Chi School in Cincinnati, founder
Vince Lasorso was just getting started on My
Serenity Box,” Smith said. “It started as a way
to help Tai Chi students gain more benefit
from their practice by being more relaxed
and fluid, but has evolved into an at-home
product to help people suffering from all
sorts of illnesses or chronic pain.”
“Lasorso knew that these types of
physiological changes were significant
given his knowledge of Dr. Hebert
Benson’s Harvard studies of the ’Relaxation
Response,’ which proved that it required
very little measurable changes in physiology,
such as lower blood pressure, pulse and
respiration, to open a wellness window for
remarkable changes in pain, symptoms and
functionality,” Smith explained. “We knew
we needed to get this out to the general
public because this could change the lives of
so many people in need of relief.”
Lasorso understood, through his mastery of
Tai Chi and qigong, and through exhaustive
research on progressive relaxation and
bracing, that energy flows through the body
in sound waves that make an imperceptibleto-the-human-ear sound. This wave
movement (called infrasonic waves) is one of
the reasons qigong and Tai Chi have such a
healing effect on people. When you perform
the various postures and forms fluidly, your
movement causes a “healthy” sound wave
motion inside your body that relaxes and
calms your entire system.
So Lasorso took his degree in industrial
design and his Tai Chi experience, and
designed the first “Box.” His hope was that
it could roughly replicate the sound wave
patterns created by the motion of correctly
doing Tai Chi so that anyone using the Box
could reap the relaxation benefits without
doing any physical movement of their own.
What he discovered was that it did much
more than provide relaxation. On top of
releasing tense muscles, users reported pain
relief and noticed a reversal of their disease
symptoms.
Smith said they just received a patent on
My Serenity Box that copyrights the way
they create the music that is incorporated in
the box. This will allow them to license the
product and hopefully participate in clinical
trials. They are currently meeting with
hospital groups in Ohio and hoping to find
a medical partner to be able to bring the
product to more people. It is currently for
sale online at www.myserenitybox.com.
Even with this new business venture, Smith
still could not stay away from the political
field. He is currently running for Ohio State
Representative on the Democratic ticket
this fall.
“I probably have one of the most diverse
backgrounds of any politician running for
election. I’ve done the things that have
interested me and that I am passionate
about, and they may not have always been
the most successfully financially, but they
were always fulfilling,” Rick said.

Two months before the birth
of her first child, Sallie Lacy was
inspired to write a song. The
inexperienced mother must
have already been concerned
about how she would get her
still-unborn-child to go to bed
because the result of her efforts
was “The PJ Song,” a tune about
a child saying good night to the
bees, birds, frogs and mice and
urging the animals to hit the
hay as well. After that initial
composition, she found other
sources of inspiration from her
own childhood memories and
little things that her daughter
and nephews would say or do.
The collection of songs grew.
The result is an illustrated eBook
titled “Back Flips, Reptile Hips
and Things that Snort and
Sneeze,” which has interactive
features, including pop-up texts
and the songs embedded into
the lyrics pages of the book.

By Jane Gutsell, Retired GDS Upper School English Teacher
Carmen Redding
Carmen Redding, who taught
4th grade at Greensboro Day
School for 29 years, exclaims
she can hardly believe it has
been ten years since she retired.
She had wrestled for two years
with making that difficult
decision, but since her husband
Max had retired, she knew it
was time. The transition was
made easier by a stipend she
received from The Delta Kappa
Gamma Society International
(DKG) to work with Karol
Neufeld, formerly a Lower
School teacher at GDS, on four
poetry workshops designed for
Both she and Max love to travel.
Their motto is: “we realize how
fragile life is so we are just going
to go ahead and go while we
can.” Taking advantage of their
health and enthusiasm for other
cultures, in the last ten years they
have visited 30 countries on five
continents. Encountering these
different places and their people
has taught her that we all live on
one planet, in one world, and,
as she says, “We are all in this
together.”
Their favorites places, what she
calls “the desserts of the world,”

children 9 to 12 years old at four
Greensboro Public library sites.
A truly wonderful way, Carmen
says, to stay in touch with
children but also to phase out of
full-time teaching.
include three separate safaris
to Africa – Tanzania, Botswana
and South Africa, and Kenya.
Seeing magnificent wild animals
in their own environments was
a spiritual experience. They also
had an opportunity to meet
and interact with the Masai
people, whom they very much
admire. The trip to Vietnam,
Cambodia, and Laos is another
of their “desserts” and exposed
them to different perspectives
on culture and religion. They
especially fell in love with
Luang Phrabang, the spiritual
city of Laos which has 40
Buddhist monasteries. The city
sits beside the Mekong River
and has a wonderfully serene
atmosphere. Carmen found
the people of Southeast Asian
very kind and gentle, but also
very strong. “Each place has
something to teach you,” she
says, “and you never know what
that will be until you are there.
So it is important to be open to
learning new things.”
In Eastern Europe, their trip
tracing the Holocaust from
Poland to the Czech Republic
brought World War II to
life. Carmen speaks movingly
of feeling “the horror of it
all – imagining the people
enduring it.” Most recently,
she and Max just returned
from Scandinavia, enjoying
particularly the mountains and
fjords of Norway. A highlight
of their time in Oslo was
seeing the spectacular Vigelund
Park, which features the iron
sculptures depicting a multitude
of scenes from life and the
monumental granite sculptures
capturing the humanity of all the
ages of life. Carmen calls it “one
of the world’s great treasures.”
In addition to her many travels,
Carmen has committed herself
to working with a number of
organizations that keep her
touch with large and diverse
communities. One of the most
important is her involvement
with DKG, an international
organization of women educators
whose mission is to promote
their professional and personal
growth and excellence in
education. DKG has hundreds
of chapters in the United States
as well as in 17 countries.
North Carolina alone has 108
chapters. Carmen served as
the state president from 2007
to 2009, which she describes
as a challenging but rewarding
job requiring she grow and
learn a lot. Typical of Carmen’s
spirit, she maintains we all need
challenges in life to keep us
strong.
Carmen Redding will always
be a teacher; for her teaching
never stops. “It’s there like
your heartbeat,” she says. “It
is one of the great gifts. I
feel so fortunate that I can
carry in my heart memories
of my beloved students, their
supportive parents, and my
esteemed colleagues. I call it ’my
bouquet.’”

Annual Report 2013-2014 and Generations Campaign
Summary Report
Anne Hurd
Last year was an extraordinary year of giving at Greensboro Day
School with gifts and pledges totaling $2,819,486 between July
1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. Each year, the GDS community is
asked to make the School a priority in your family’s charitable
giving, and again this year, you generously supported GDS.
It is a privilege to work with such dedicated parents, alumni,
grandparents and friends of the School.
When the Board of Trustees launched an ambitious plan for
Greensboro Day School’s future in 2007, it was difficult to
imagine the tangible transformation we see today. Just seven
years later, our 5-8 grade students and faculty are thriving in
the new Bell Family Middle School, our girls tennis team is
completing their season on our new tennis courts, parents are
using the Lake Brandt Road entrance as an option for carpool,
and our new central Quadrangle and Auxiliary Gymnasium are
under construction. These are just the most visible changes we
have been able to achieve in the last seven years.
In this Annual Report of Donors, we offer sincere thanks to
the donors who gave more than $7 million to the Generations
Campaign, and deep appreciation for the leadership of Merrill
and Chuck Keeley ’81 and Melinda and Jim Rucker ’82 and
their volunteer team. The name of the campaign was inspired
during the celebration of GDS’ 40th Anniversary in 2010, when
the school’s founders joined their alumni children – and in some
cases grandchildren – to celebrate the impact Greensboro Day
School has had on education in our community and on their
own families. Generations of future students will benefit from
the hard work and generosity of those who came before them.
Annual Giving for Current Operations
This Annual Report also recognizes and appreciates the hard
work of the Annual Fund First team last year led by Joanne and
Scott Duggan, parents of Connor ’18. In the final year of an
ambitious capital campaign, the Annual Fund raised $555,471
for operating expenses, providing resources for every student
and every teacher, every day.
Emily Thompson
Joann and Scott Duggan
Another $39,041 in restricted gifts supported financial aid,
academic, extracurricular, administrative programs, and
professional development. In total, nearly $600,000 was given for
current operations to help fund the difference between tuition
paid and the actual costs of operations.
Endowment
Building endowment continues to be a crucial element of our
financial plan for the future, and our permanent funds totaled
$10,059,000 at the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year. Gifts to
endowment totaled $11,020 for financial aid, faculty professional
development, and athletic awards and programs.
Annual Report of Donors
We gratefully acknowledge the generous donors who
demonstrated their commitment to the School’s mission last
year between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. We also provide a
comprehensive list of everyone who supported the Generations
Capital Campaign from 2008-2014.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this report.
However, as with any work of this nature, inadvertent errors or
omissions may occur. If this has occurred, we apologize and ask
that you contact the GDS Office of Advancement at 336-2888590 or email [email protected].
Throughout the Generations Campaign, Greensboro Day
School’s donors were asked to consider giving to annual and
capital campaigns at a level that made sense for their families and
that made them proud. You did, and have made an important
difference for every student at Greensboro Day School. On behalf
of the whole school community: thank you.

“We’re committed to building
a new Middle School, though
we know our children will
never attend classes there.
Many other children coming
along behind ours will learn
in those classrooms, and
that’s our commitment. That
commitment started with
our parents, and it’s now our
generation’s turn to continue to
improve upon what they built
and plan for the future.”

Parents of the Class of 2014
Constant exposure to a stimulating learning
environment made my son excited to experience
each day at GDS. The well-rounded education
he received prepared him for a challenging
future. Something this priceless cannot be taken
for granted.
Our children are fortunate to attend the very
best school in our area. GDS depends on
donations from the Annual Fund to keep its
students on top. New equipment, field trips,
technology, teacher development - all the things
that make GDS excellent - depend on the
Annual Fund.”
