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.)

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

Canterbury Tales
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.
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

Update
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-theart science and technology building. Expected to take about five
months, the Ketner renovation project will provide state-ofthe-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

be devoted to STEM labs as well as much need open space
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
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.
Seventh graders tackle the ropes course.
Canterbury Tales
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!

Canterbury Tales
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.
at Canterbury School?
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.
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

Education
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.

What is
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?

Canterbury Tales
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.
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

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:
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

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.”

Congratulations
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!

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

at Emerywood Country Club. Sixth
grader William Ambro led all golfers
in the tournament by shooting a 42.
Mats Pokela ’14 (44), Luke Joseph

for Canterbury to bring home the

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!

season with a win-heavy 11-4
record, that was only good enough

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

Focus Forward Campaign Update
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
26
Canterbury Tales
Campaign for Canterbury School
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 ([email protected] or
336-288-2007), about how you can help today.
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.

The White Family
by Meghan Davis
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 firsthand 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.

Mad Science Auction DONORS
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

The following lists of donors represent those who have designated a gift toward endowment funds at the school.
Canterbury School’s Board of Trustees has made building our endowment a top
priority. A larger endowment will strengthen Canterbury’s ability to keep pace with
the economic times, to ensure the support of our current programs, and to attract
high quality teaching professionals and students.
Ensuring
Educational
Excellence
Gifts to endowment are invested and the annual interest is used to support our
school programs today and for generations to come. Here is a complete list
of endowment funds, including descriptions. Endowment funds are named at
$100,000, and will be listed in the Annual Report beginning in the year in which
they reach or exceed that amount.

established in 2008 by the Beverly and Ray Berry
Family to provide for the long-term maintenance
and repair of Berry Hall and its courtyard.
Board Discretionary Fund: Endowment
funds in this category are unrestricted and help to
underwrite the school’s comprehensive operating
budget. The fund’s earnings are designated by the
school’s Board of Trustees and most commonly
supplement the operating budget.
The Canterbury Excellence Fund:
Endowment funds in this category are unrestricted

operating budget. This fund can also be used to
hold funds that have not yet fully matured or the

opportunities, professional development, and
compensation opportunities for Canterbury’s
dedicated faculty and staff.

established in 2010 with a lead gift from the parent
of a member of the class of 2009. Each year the

opportunities for professional development and
travel to seminars.

fund was established in 2007 for the support of
the Aurelia Fulton Stafford Fine Arts Center. The
purpose of this fund is to provide for the longterm maintenance and repairs of Stafford Center.
Stafford Center is the school’s first facility to be

Helping Hand Fund: This fund was established
in the tradition of lending a hand to deserving
families who would otherwise be unable to attend
Canterbury. The income of this endowment
supplements the school’s financial assistance budget
each and every year. The Helping Hand Fund was
established with the intention that others would
be so moved to gift to the fund in support of this
ongoing need.
Hock Faculty and Staff Tuition Remission
Fund: This fund was established in 2009 by
Conrad Hock, Jr. Tuition remission programs have
long been used in independent schools as a nontaxable benefit to hire and retain qualified teachers.
Beyond health insurance and retirement benefits,
our faculty routinely identifies tuition remission
as their most valued benefit. Funds are dispersed
in accordance to the school’s financial assistance
policy, which states that all full-time faculty and staff
are eligible for 50% tuition remission.
The Ketner Fund for Educational
Excellence: This fund supports Canterbury’s
diversity initiative, provides additional funding
for faculty professional development, and assists
the Head in advancing the school’s educational
excellence.

Established in 2005 by Rob and Julia Livingston,
this fund honors their daughter, Jenna Livingston
(‘09), and her love of the arts. This fund was
created to help to promote and enhance
Canterbury’s fine arts and music programs for
the benefit of all students. Annual proceeds are
used for music and art equipment upgrades or
purchases, off-campus field trips and visiting artists,
and needed program supplies.

and Carolyn J. Maness Family Foundation. This fund
provides for the long-term maintenance and repair
of Phillips Chapel.

fund was established in 2009 by generous gifts from
two anonymous families. The purpose of this fund

in memory of Lee Hastings Bristol, Jr. by members
of his family. This fund is used to provide
resources to enhance the Sacred Music program
at Canterbury School.
The Shining Light Fund: This fund was
established in 2005 through a contribution in
memory of Matthew David Lee. The name of the
fund reflects the hope that Canterbury will be able
to provide a shining light for children who need
financial assistance to attend Canterbury School.
VF Fund for Financial Assistance:
This fund was established in 2005 by the VF
Corporation, whose headquarters are located
here in Greensboro. This fund is used to enhance

diverse and dynamic community of elementary
and middle school children, regardless of a family’s
financial abilities.

Grandparents
by Mary Dehnert
Canterbury hosted more than 300 grandparents and
special friends on May 2, 2013. The sunshine was out as
the day began in Phillips Chapel with a sermon delivered
by 8th grader MariKatherine Ambro. There was hardly
a dry eye in the house! Grandparents then had
the opportunity to visit classrooms in Fry
and Armfield Halls. The day ended
with a reception in Berry Hall with
some scenes from Oklahoma!
Mark your calendars for the next
Grandparents & Special Friends Day,
which will be held on Friday, May 1, 2015.
