  4. HeadLines “Find the spark of curiosity and feed it well Set the wick high and let the flame burn free in a happy, open place” Dear Members of the Lamplighter Community: to start and run a business was no small matter. Indeed, Layers is one of the many things that distinguishes the school that offers a “serious education wrapped in the wonder of childhood.” solving. The timeless values upon which the School was founded and that the buildings represent honor the past and look ahead with promise to the future. We did it! Under the leadership of the Board of Trustees and for the first time in two decades, The Lamplighter School opened two new buildings. A special thank you to each member of the community for your incredible support of this project. The opportunities for student discovery have grown exponentially. In May, we celebrated the opening of the new barn. The farm animals have returned to campus and our students will have plenty of new stories to tell about the pig, cow, goats, and chickens. In closing, the students are the centerpiece of our work. Enjoy this poem, which aptly captures our collective feelings about The Lamplighter School: The Innovation Lab has quickly become the hub of STEM activity for all classes. The entire faculty is using the space in the most creative and best ways for our students. In a brief visit to the Innovation Lab, you will see eager Early Childhood students exploring ways to mix primary colors to arrive at a secondary color. Fourth graders are bustling in the Robotics Lab – building, creating, and strategizing – while the Wood Shop and Environmental Science classrooms always have great projects underway. On Lighting a Lamp Fuel the lamp with a world of information Find the spark of curiosity and feed it well Set the wick high and let the flame burn free in a happy, open place Enough lamps and we can light the earth. – Anonymous In September, Lamplighter Layers, Inc., celebrated 47 years since the chicken and egg business started. Every year since its founding, students select the type of chickens to purchase, add allowance money to buy feed, tend the chickens, sell the eggs in the carpool line, and work as a team to determine how best to use the profits. The founders of The Lamplighter School, Ms. Swain and Ms. Murray, were truly women ahead of their time. They realized that teaching children at the youngest ages When students are working in the Innovation Lab, it is evident that the buildings were not designed and constructed in a vacuum, but rather the architect, Marlon Blackwell, approached the project with a deep understanding of and appreciation for the history of Lamplighter. The open spaces are visual representations of our belief in the importance of collaboration, critical thinking, and problem Sincerely, Joan Buchanan Hill, Ed. D. Head of School 4 LAMPPOST

  5. OnBoard “Looking forward, we are embarking on a new chapter in Lamplighter’s story.” Dear Lamplighter Community: in the education of our young children in social and emotional development and academic skills. The faculty and staff’s continued commitment to broad and deep professional development models the behavior of joyful, lifelong learning we hope to instill in our children in their time at Lamplighter. which represents all constituencies including alumni, current parents, alumni parents, trustees, faculty, and staff. Through this committee’s work with the consultant, which will include many more people in our amazing community, we will identify and prioritize opportunities and resources to help Lamplighter continue to pioneer and lead in early childhood and elementary education. It will be exciting to see what the future holds for our children and grandchildren. We have so much to celebrate! The Innovation Lab, new barn, and expanded Ring Road are the most visible improvements that were a result of the 2012 “Lighting Our Path” Strategic Plan and the corresponding incredibly successful Igniting Young Minds capital campaign. In addition to our fantastic new facilities, our community is enjoying expanded curriculum through new woodworking classes and myriad fresh learning opportunities in the teaching kitchen and projects spaces. Our campaign also provided funds to help Lamplighter grow its endowment to over $10 million, providing sustaining support for Lamplighter’s bright future. Looking forward, we are embarking on a new chapter in Lamplighter’s story. Our leadership has partnered with a consultant, Ian Symmonds & Associates, to guide our School through a strategic planning process which will outline and articulate our path forward. With these planning efforts deeply rooted in the Lamplighter mission, “Dedicated to igniting the potential of each child, Lamplighter engages students in the joy of learning through intellectual discovery in a creative, inclusive, and collaborative environment,” Jenney Gillikin is leading our committee of 14 volunteers, With Lamplighter spirit, Sarah Weinberg Board Chair As a newly minted alumni parent of three Lamplighter graduates, I am thrilled to see the School continue growing and blooming in its effort to embrace excellence LAMPPOST 5

  8. CoverStory A TRANSFORMATIVE PARTNERSHIP The farm animals are a visitor’s first clue that The Lamplighter School in Dallas is unique. At recess, the private Pre-K to fourth-grade school’s students stray from the playground and over to the chicken coop, where a plumed, burgundy-feathered rooster struts around and calls out. A pig trots around her pen while a cow rests in the shade. The goats can’t seem to stop climbing up to the top of their barn. The animals are essential to Lamplighter’s holistic approach to education. Fourth- graders care for the hens and collect, package, and sell their eggs. Potatoes from the school’s garden and hydroponic plants used in a study for science class go into the students’ soups and salads. Fourth- grade literacy teacher Jody Stout says the school is always looking to innovate. “Lamplighter has always encouraged teachers to think outside the box in support of strategies to advance the mission,” she says. In the last two years, that has meant expanding maker education in the school’s curriculum. In maker education, students learn skills and content by designing and creating tangible, sharable objects. Head of School Dr. Joan Hill says, “The reason maker education is so important to us is that it fits with Lamplighter’s longstanding approach to learning. Maker education allows students to have agency over their own learning. And at the end of the day, what we really want at Lamplighter is for students to become independent, to think critically, to ask questions, and to be able to answer those questions.” How The Lamplighter School Used Maker Education and Design Thinking to Challenge Itself at a Pivotal Moment in Its History These questions led the school to forge a multi-year partnership with the SMU Maker Education Project team that Hill describes as “transformative” for the school. found that that SMU Maker Education Project team members “would be the perfect partners because they understood the tenets of progressive education. They talk like we do, and their approach is similar to our school’s.” Lamplighter also added a new 10,000- square-foot building: The Lamplighter Innovation Lab has become the hub of maker, experiential, and project-based learning. Vicki Raney, Assistant Head for Academics, says that the school wanted to ensure that its new space would be neither overutilized nor underutilized, and with the focus always on learning. While the Innovation Lab was still under construction, she says, “our question was, what is the experience going to be like for teachers? What were the anticipated outcomes and challenges here?” Raney and Lamplighter faculty met the team at a design thinking workshop in summer 2015. Design thinking is a process that uses a human-centered approach to solving problems in the world. From that first meeting, the school sought to build a relationship between the institutions to help incorporate more maker education into the school’s curriculum and use design thinking to plan how to make the best use of the Innovation Lab. Raney “We knew that SMU had the expertise and the interest in working with a school like Lamplighter to advance our mission, which is really about innovative thinking, hands-on learning and allowing children to develop a sense of independence around learning,” Hill says. 8 LAMPPOST

  9. A TRANSFORMATIVE PARTNERSHIP by Jon Malesic How The Lamplighter School Used Maker Education and Design Thinking to Challenge Itself at a Pivotal Moment in Its History TEACHERS DIG INTO DESIGN THINKING AND MAKER EDUCATION Lamplighter and SMU agreed to collaborate on two related professional development projects: one in maker education, and one in design thinking. As Hill sees it, the two approaches go hand in hand. “Design thinking is a philosophy. It’s a way of thinking about the world. It’s a way of approaching problems and materials. And maker education is the vehicle for solving. It’s having access to the tools that will allow the child to solve the problems.” The SMU Maker Education Project team developed and carried out training workshops, coaching sessions, and debriefing sessions for each project over the 2016-2017 academic year. Deason Innovation Gym (DIG), SMU’s collegiate makerspace, and at Harold Clark Simmons Hall, where teachers learned how to use computer-aided design software to create digital models of prototypes they made previously. Second- grade teacher Ana Owens said the training got her out of her comfort zone and that the Maker Education Project team “made people feel like they mattered because of the focus on empathy.” In August of that year, the Maker Education Project team came to Lamplighter and introduced faculty and staff to maker education by asking them to redesign the morning commute in the congested Dallas-Fort Worth region. During this activity, participants built low- resolution prototypes of their solutions out of materials. Librarian Patricia Vermillion says she was not sure what to expect going into the daylong workshop, but “all the teachers were so excited and engaged, A few days later, Lamplighter faculty spent a day at SMU learning about maker education and design thinking at the LAMPPOST 9

  10. CoverStory and at the end we learned so much. We all came away ready to start the process.” Teachers say that the maker education workshops with the SMU Maker Education Project team offered them a structure for implementing SMU’s model for Maker-Based Instruction, which centers on “maker sprints,” and a deeper understanding of design thinking. Designing and building the landmarks, which were filled with artifacts from the states, “added meaning to the state project,” Owens says. For example, one of the landmarks, the Maine Museum, was shaped like a lobster, and another landmark, the Alaska Museum, featured a 3D Iditarod sled race. Owens reported that in addition to creating meaningful landmarks, the students became more confident risk takers as “they took a lot of ownership of the project.” demonstrate the principles of its design. One pair of students successfully turned an electric votive candle into a pocket flashlight with an on/off switch. “I was blown away that they were determined enough to keep going,” Varela says. Varela also took her students to the DIG, where they learned about two- dimensional design. She says the students were “inspired by the vinyl cutter, and designed logos to print on the vinyl cutter.” In Maker-Based Instruction, she says, “students get to make something of their own” that they can show and share with others. Hill says that once she learned about the kind of training the Maker Education Project team members could offer at the DIG, she saw the value it would have for Lamplighter’s faculty and students. “The partnership was set up for teachers to meet in grade-level groups to understand how to bring the core principles of design thinking to students, so that would become part of how they approach the world,” she says. The second-graders’ skill-building didn’t stop with hand tools. For a later project, they learned to use the computer-aided design software TinkerCAD. The students quickly immersed themselves in learning the software, which “sets the stage for them as third-graders to be ready to 3D print,” Yarbrough explains. Science teacher Bill Burton asks his students to design and 3D-print rocket capsules meant to carry organic supplies to a hypothetical Mars colony. Their payload design needed to stay within size and mass constraints. The students’ first task was to think about the balance of products they would want to send: water, plants, and livestock. These units were represented by small pellets of varying mass. “What they put inside their rocket payloads is theirs to design – good or bad, flawed or not,” Burton says. He emphasizes the authenticity of the project. “It put kids into the role of what scientists have to do, solving a problem, but on a kid’s scale,” he says. SECOND-GRADERS WITH SERIOUS SKILLS The second-grade teachers applied what they learned at the DIG by leading their students through several maker-based projects. One was to design a landmark for one of the 50 states. “We knew what we wanted to do through using Maker- Based Instruction, Lakeshia Peters, a second-grade teacher, says. But until the professional development with the SMU Maker Education Project team, “we didn’t know which steps to take first.” THE MAKER MINDSET Over the course of the year, periodic coaching sessions with the SMU Maker Education Project team helped to integrate maker education and design thinking into the Lamplighter curriculum. Kindergarten teacher Bianca Reyna found that with maker education, beginning with a plan ensures that she could effectively coach her students. “Anytime we gave our kids materials, they became so excited that they lost focus” on their projects, she says. The highlight of Burton’s project is Rocket Launch Day, when the students head out to a field to see if their payload can go up and return in one piece. It’s a fun moment, but the launch isn’t the end of the project. Burton says, “One of the best things you can do after a project is debrief and reflect on it.” His students, like all designers, learn from their product tests to improve the next iteration of the design. The teachers used the SMU Maker Education Project’s planning pages resource to guide them through their pedagogical design. The landmark construction project started with learning how to make shapes. The students looked at pictures of well-known Dallas structures to learn “what shapes buildings are made of and how you can make shapes to create one,” says Anne Yarbrough, another member of the second-grade teaching team. For students to build the landmarks, teachers taught them to use hot glue guns. That may seem ambitious for seven- year-olds, but Maker-Based Instruction embraces the idea students should have opportunities to develop skills with a variety of tools and materials from an early age. By developing skills in a structured way, “you’re inspired to see your own worth and what you can do,” Peters says. So Reyna “learned to introduce tools and materials slowly,” she says. She learned to talk about the new materials first, “then step back, give the kids some time to explore, and then create.” That way, the students developed confidence with a variety of tools and materials. She says they realized that “it’s a process. It won’t always work. They’re becoming more reflective, thinking about that as they’re building. They’re learning to become problem solvers and to help each other.” Lamplighter’s teachers report that their students make big gains not just in their skills with tools and materials, but in social-emotional areas like empathy, too. Many speak of the confidence their students gain by seeing concretely what they could make. Varela doesn’t hesitate to name the main benefit of maker education for her students. “Engagement. They cannot wait until their weekly design classes.” The maker mindset is spreading throughout the grades at Lamplighter. First-grade teacher Jessica Varela led her students through a project focused on small, battery-powered objects. The students followed a sequence in which they wondered about how the object works, took it apart to figure out how it works, and then reconfigured it to 10 LAMPPOST

  11. THE BODY LANGUAGE OF A SCHOOL Beginning in the fall of 2017, maker education at Lamplighter has a new home. Next to Lamplighter’s barn is a gently angled, copper-clad building, the Lamplighter Innovation Lab. Inside, it’s filled with natural light. It houses dedicated rooms, separated by glass walls, for environmental science, physical science, woodworking, making projects, and cooking. working to design the Innovation Lab’s use, says she came to the building asking, “What is the space telling me to do? How am I being directed by the materials and the layout? What kind of feeling do we want our learners to have in the Innovation Lab space?” are student-centered and collaborative” and the Innovation Lab will “be utilized by faculty and staff trained and supported in current and emerging teaching practices.” Those principles then led the team to come up with twelve “how might we?” questions for the rest of the teachers to brainstorm answers to. The questions included, “How might we accommodate multiple long- term projects running concurrently?” and “How might we support teachers to create authentic learning experiences in the Innovation Lab?” Liz Curlin, a Pre-K teacher who served on the core team, learned about how to do a space analysis to understand how a space feels. As part of the SMU Maker Education Project team’s training, Curlin went to a familiar space, her church. Entering it with the eyes of a designer, she began to see While the Innovation Lab was still under construction, the SMU Maker Top Row L-R: Maker Education Project at Lamplighter; Lamplighter faculty at Deason Innovation Gym (DIG); Lamplighter faculty at Harold Clark Simmons Hall. Bottom Row L-R: Katie Krummeck, Director of the Maker Education Project, SMU Lyle School of Engineering and Dr. Rob Rouse, Clinical Assistant Professor with the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development; Lamplighter faculty with computer-aided design; and Lamplighter faculty working on Human-Centered Design in the Innovation Lab that design elements shaped “how you were to behave in the space.” One afternoon in April 2017, faculty and staff got their first look inside the building. They looked up and around as O’Krent, Curlin, Burton, and the rest of the core team asked them to imagine how they might use the space. The kitchen, hallways, and classrooms echoed with excited chatter as teachers filled big pieces of chart paper with their answers to the “how might we?” questions. Their answers exhibited the boundless, divergent thinking designers need at this stage. “Trial + error,” “networking,” and “guest chef appearances” all showed up as answers. Education Project team and a core group of Lamplighter faculty worked together using Human-Centered Design principles to coordinate how the building would be used and to establish a culture that would promote students adopting maker mindsets. After a training workshop, the core team and the SMU Maker Education Project team worked together for several months in Spring 2017 to develop design principles. Burton, another member of the core team, called the principles “mini vision statements” for the Innovation Lab. Among them were, “The Innovation Lab at Lamplighter will inspire the development of authentic learning experiences that Members of the SMU team often echo a tenet from Stanford University’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design: “Space is the body language of an organization.” Inspired by this idea, art teacher Pam O’Krent, who was part of the core team LAMPPOST 11

  12. CoverStory LAMPLIGHTER CELEBRATES OPENING OF INNOVATION LAB The Lamplighter School celebrated the official opening of its new Innovation Lab on Friday, September 1, as members of the Lamplighter community, including students, parents, faculty, staff, and Trustees gathered to celebrate the latest addition to the campus. “There are no bad ideas!” one teacher assured her colleagues. Another said she was trying to let go of her preconceptions and “let my mind be open.” “What if? What if?” was one refrain heard throughout the afternoon. “That’ll work. That’ll work,” was another. Education Project team. Vicki Raney, the Assistant Head for Academics, who has been at Lamplighter for 14 years, calls the partnership “one of my favorite things that has happened over the years.” Hill sees the collaboration in terms of the school’s entire history. “With a school of 65 years, Lamplighter has always been a leader in progressive education. It is woven into the DNA of this institution to stretch and question, and find new ways for children to experience teaching and learning.” she says. Working with the SMU Maker Education Project team has kept Lamplighter leading innovative best practices in early childhood and elementary education. A BUILDING ALIVE WITH LEARNING On an early September morning, the Innovation Lab is in full use. Hill says that going through the design process, with coaching from the SMU Maker Education Project team, “has made the second week of school feel like we’ve been in the building for a long time.” Fourth-graders stand with their teacher, Brian McCool, around a workbench learning about measuring wood in the wood shop. A row of saws hangs from hooks high on the wall, out of reach. The event began with opening remarks by Head of School Dr. Joan Buchanan Hill, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and singing of “America.” Dr. Hill shared a “peak inside” in the Innovation Lab by telling students of all the amazing workspaces inside the building including a woodworking studio, a robotics and maker-space, environmental science and early childhood science classrooms, a project room, and a teaching kitchen. To Hill, shared goals are what make the partnership between Lamplighter and SMU succeed. “The Maker Education Project team’s goal is to advance understanding of design thinking and maker education,” she says. “Ours is to ensure that our students understand what design thinking and maker education are and how they can be used in their daily lives. Having the shared goal with SMU has made our partnership I think one of the most special things that we do at the school.” Representatives from fourth grade and Kindergarten joined faculty, alumni, and Trustee representatives to cut the yellow ribbon in unison and officially open the Innovation Lab. Down the hall, Pre-K students clap with delight as they learn firsthand about the properties of light, as red and yellow liquids in a plastic cylinder mix together and turn orange. And in the physics lab, Burton’s fourth-graders are designing a machine that will move along a cord stretched across the room to a certain distance and then drop a ball into a basket, all choreographed by the computer code they use on their laptops. The Innovation Lab is the second of two new buildings at Lamplighter to open at the school during 2017. On May 17, Lamplighter celebrated the opening of its new 1,625-square-foot barn with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the students, faculty, staff, and Trustees. The new barn is adjacent to the Innovation Lab and represents a tangible expression of Lamplighter’s identity. The barn serves as the hub for the Lamplighter Layer’s entrepreneurial program, a 47-year-old chicken-raising and egg-selling corporation run by the School’s fourth-grade students. The students are excited, too. “There’s a real buzz among the children on the playground as well as at carpool,” says Judith Mullens, Director of Early Childhood. “Today I overheard groups of children talking about woodworking in just an awed tone.” Innovation has always been at the core of the Lamplighter experience. The School’s founders, Natalie Murray and Sandy Swain, first used the term “innovation” in the 1960s as they traveled through Scandinavia seeking a learning style and philosophy that conveyed a close relationship with nature, open classrooms, and a “village composition” predicated on community, hands-on learning, and fostering an abiding sense of wonder. Every facet of the Lamplighter story and evolution has been consistent with this approach, including the existing campus and now the new Innovation Lab. In this way, what’s old is new again: Lamplighter is true to tradition but continues to take risks and adapt for the future. The partnership between Lamplighter and the SMU Maker Education Project continues during the 2017-18 academic year. The SMU team “will be invited into the classroom with the children, basically guiding and mentoring the teachers as they continue to develop and refine the academic program,” Mullens says. The team is also meeting regularly with third- and fourth-grade teachers in a design cohort to coach them through making and designing with their students.

  13. REFLECTIONS WITH MARLON BLACKWELL ARCHITECTS LampPost first interviewed Marlon Blackwell of Marlon Blackwell Architects in Fall of 2015 during the design phase of Lamplighter’s Barn and Innovation Lab. In this follow-up interview, Marlon and members of his team share their impressions now that the buidlings are complete. The “seating wells” in the classrooms are an iconic feature of the teaching approach at Lamplighter. Can you tell us about the design process of reimagining the well concept for the present and into the future? The seating wells are what’s so unique about the original building, and so well loved by all. In light of this, we certainly wanted to bring the well into the new facility; however, we could not do this in its original format (sunken in the ground) due to the accessibility code today. What we did was bring the shape (circle) and make them more universally accessible, and also make the location flexible. The wells can be moved, rearranged, and because they are upholstered, provide some pattern, color, and softness. The children can sit on the seat or lean against it while sitting on the floor. Children and adults with mobility issues are not excluded from using this well. We love the wells in their original form. We hope the new seating wells will do the job just as well. outside your own comfort zone, but also to be more attentive to the things closest to you. Look at the world as it’s given to you, and ask the questions, “How could it be otherwise? How might it be like I want it to be? So how would I use these things to inspire me?” The Lamplighter School: In your design philosophy, you strive to express the ideals of the people and institutions you serve. How do you feel that philosophy has been expressed at Lamplighter through the voice of the Innovation Lab? Marlon Blackwell Architects: Through a resonance of what was here before. This building is not a formulaic response to the specificities of what was here. As a school, a faculty, as a student body, a campus, as a culture, this is a very place-specific response and it is responsive. It doesn’t rely on formula. You have to take risks. We took risks here. We couldn’t just put out a beautiful minimalist box. What do you do that becomes resonant? Not to quote what was here before. I remember as a kid I was a cartoonist; I would create stories. Learn how to tell stories. Learn the importance of creating narrative in stories. Learn how to visualize ideas. And then, maybe ideas can become stories, and then they can become visual. I think that is what is missing in a lot of students today is that they have difficulty visualizing and asking the tough questions. I think getting them to ask questions, getting them to dream a little bit, wonder, that’s what makes a really good architect. Somebody who won’t accept the status quo and isn’t interested in a formulaic response to everything. Can you reflect on the collaborative design process with Lamplighter? The team, (design team including architects, landscape architects, engineers, and other consultants in addition to our core design team) worked together with the building committee and the design committee, as well as the teachers and staff from the very beginning. We met at various junctures of the project phase to make sure that what we are proposing met their expectations. We revised our drawings appropriately with every feedback we received. This has been a successful collaborative process. How do you hope the Innovation Lab and new Barn will inspire the students and faculty at Lamplighter? We hope that the Innovation Lab and Barn buildings will provide not only space to learn and teach, but to do so in a space that transcends the everyday. Do you have any advice for young students with an interest in architecture? Draw. Just draw. Find ways to connect what you are thinking to your hand so you can visualize it. Because it’s all about visualizing ideas. The other thing that is important is to travel, observe the world What is your favorite design element of the Innovation Lab? The light quality of the space and the visual connectivity one gets between rooms throughout and to the outside. “Seating Well” in the Lamplighter Innovation Lab LAMPPOST 13

  14. E n t r e p r e n e u r i a l S p i r i t Entrepreneurial spirit is a mindset. It’s an attitude and approach to thinking that actively seeks out change rather than waiting to adapt to change. It’s a mindset that embraces critical questioning, innovation, service, and continuous improvement. At Lamplighter, this mindset begins with our youngest learners in Pre-K, culminates with our fourth-grade Seniors, and empowers our young alumni to continue the path of entrepreneurial spirit into the future. Cornering the Market Pre-K Farmers Market provides project-based learning experience by Judith Mullens In early May 2017, Lamplighter Pre-K students were excited to open their Farmers Market! Tables were set, draped in checkered tablecloths, and topped with toy cash registers set out all in a row. Baskets were full of fresh vegetables that were washed and ready to sell to eager customers. Many handmade items were also available for guests to purchase: bird feeders, garden markers, popsicles, pinch pots, and tiny herb gardens. The smell of fresh-popped popcorn filled the air along with the excitement of so many young learners. With sunny blue skies, aprons tied, and huge smiles on their faces, the opening day had finally come. Lamplighter’s youngest tended the registers, bagged items and handed out lemonade as a thank you to paying customers. Sounds of joy echoed on the playground as students sold their crops and shared with the Lamplighter community their experiences. Children at this age are just beginning to practice simple addition. Items sold at the market cost between one and four cents, giving students the opportunity to exercise their adding skills while calculating items of a sale together. Phonetically spelled signs are made by the children to advertise the items being sold, allowing students opportunities to write using the letters and sounds they have learned. You may also see garden markers with some “inventive spelling” used. Whether broccoli or “brokle,” we encourage our young spellers to practice the letter sounds and encourage their first attempts at writing. Our social-emotional curriculum also shines brightly as the children are encouraged to enhance their social-emotional skills and practice good customer service as the guests arrive and shop the market. the first sprouts pop up all the way to harvest, the children were engrossed and fully immersed in learning! Some students enjoyed watering, while others wanted to get their hands dirty and dig in the soil. Students had hands-on, experiential learning at their fingertips and a chance to make learning connections in very personal and real ways. Potatoes, onions, leeks, greens, and lettuce were all nurtured and grown by our young gardeners and entrepreneurs. When the market was over, their “profits” were donated to the North Texas Food Bank. We spend time talking with the students about how fortunate we are to have plenty of food and that all of their basic needs and wants are met. The children felt such a great sense of pride knowing their work and profits went to help our community. Due to last year’s construction and with a little ingenuity and creative thinking, a portion of our garden beds were relocated to the Early Childhood playground area along with a few other container gardens where the children dutifully planted, watered, and tended their plants. Gretchen Pollom, Lamplighter’s Early Childhood science teacher, also planted with the students in one of our indoor Tower Gardens. Pre-K students worked all school year tending to their gardens. From preparing the soil to planting seeds and seeing We are looking forward to Lamplighter’s Fifth Annual Farmers Market in 2018. Our youngest students will start working in the gardens and planting seeds this fall for a spring harvest. As you travel the Ring Road during carpool, be sure to check out our raised beds behind our new barn and see our progress. You might even see an eager child engrossed in hands-on learning and making lifelong memories! The Pre-K Farmers Market is a project- based learning experience that gives students a chance to practice skills from the science, math, literacy, and social- emotional curriculum they have been exploring throughout the year. Our market is also designed to fully immerse the children in learning across the curriculum. Pinch pots are made in art class with Mrs. O’Krent, maracas are made in Spanish with Mrs. Krage, and marigolds are planted in science with Ms. Pollom. 14 LAMPPOST

  15. Laying a Foundation Fourth-grade teachers Kathey Beddow and Jody Stout to receive Leavey Award by Jody Stout “We are so proud to be facilitators of Lamplighter Layers – a program that does so much to encourage partnership, creative problem-solving, and great responsibility in our young students.” L-R: Lamplighter Fourth-Grade Teachers Jody Stout, Kathey Beddow, Caroline Finnegan, and Freedoms Foundation representatives Kay Poyner, Wes Poyner, and Shirley Smith Since 1977, Freedoms Foundation and the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation have honored outstanding teachers for bringing passion and creativity to their classrooms as they teach students about entrepreneurship and the free enterprise system. This year, two of Lamplighter’s very own fourth-grade teachers, Kathey Beddow and Jody Stout, will be recognized for their achievements in guiding the Lamplighter Layers program during the 2015-16 school year. Along with five other educators from around the nation, Ms. Beddow and Ms. Stout are members of the 40th annual class to be presented with the Leavey Award. with the opportunity to practice cooperation, communication, respect, and responsibility in an entrepreneurial format,” explained Ms. Stout, “based very much on the same values espoused by the Freedoms Foundation and the Leavey Foundation. In its 47-year history, the Layers program has expanded and evolved. Each Lamplighter Senior class has had the opportunity to run the business after their own model.” In addition to the influence of growing technology on record keeping and communication, one adaptation to the business in recent years is the establishment of distinct committees: finance, production, communications, and dividend. Another change initiated by the students is the newer tradition of choosing charities with which to share their profits. “But core beliefs in the benefit of engaging in and investing in the free enterprise system,” continued Ms. Stout, “has always been the centerpiece of the program.” “We are so proud to be facilitators of Lamplighter Layers – a program that does so much to encourage partnership, creative problem solving, and great responsibility in our young students,” stated Ms. Beddow. “In accepting the award, we are acknowledging contributions, effort, and passion given by many teachers and students who have come before. And we so appreciate that a national spotlight on our little chicken and egg business will ensure opportunities for leadership, community building, and real-world business experience for our fourth-graders for many years to come.” Mrs. Beddow and Ms. Stout will be presented with the Leavey Award during the National Council for Social Studies Conference in San Francisco, California, November 17 and 18, 2017. E n t r e p r e n e u r i a l S p i r i t The Leavey Awards program recognizes educators at the elementary, junior high school, high school, and college levels for innovative and effective techniques in teaching entrepreneurship and the free enterprise system. “Lamplighter Layers was founded in 1970 with the goals of providing young students continues on Page 16 LAMPPOST 15

  16. Young Alumni Clean Up Annual Young Alumni Car Wash provides opportunities for young Lamplighter alums to show their entrepreneurial spirit and give back to the School At Lamplighter, the Pre-K Farmer’s Market and Lamplighter Layers experiences introduce Early Childhood and Lower School students, respectively, to the concept of running a business. These project- based learning opportunities help instill an entrepreneurial spirit in our students. In order to create a successful fundraising event for the School, Mosle was able to tap into the nostalgia alums have for Lamplighter. Mosle explained, “We have such fond memories of Lamplighter. Alums share a unique bond and know we were given the best possible foundation for success – it’s only natural to try to give back.” which helped Lamplighter enhance its people, place, and programs, including the two most recent additions of the new Barn and Innovation Lab. In 2011, young alumnus Kate Mosle ’04, created an event that helped continue this entrepreneurial spirit to recent Lamplighter graduates when she established the Young Alumni Car Wash. Over the past seven years, the Young Alumni Car Wash has evolved into “a tradition that is enjoyed by all,” noted Dr. Joan Hill, Head of School. Lamplighter is grateful to the many volunteers over the years who have helped make the Young Alumni Car Wash a successful fundraising and community-building event for the School. A special thank you to our Car Wash Chairs since its inception: Mosle credits the Lamplighter Layers experience run by fourth-grade students at the School as a driver of the event’s success, stating, “Lamplighter produces enthusiastic and hard-working alumni who are more than willing to come back and help out. Because of activities such as Lamplighter Layers, alumni are good at organizing and putting things together.” 2011: Kate Mosle ’04 2012: Katie Payne ’06 and Maya Sawla ’06 2013: Katherine Dau ’07 2014: Katherine Dau ’07 2015: George Dau ’09 2016: Jared Steinhart ’09 2017: Emma Siegel ’09 2018: Sarah Hodgson ’10 and Katherine Pollock ’10 Mosle launched the inaugural Young Alumni Car Wash with a committee of 10 Lamplighter alums and current middle and high school students. The committee met monthly prior to the event date and planned every detail; appropriating sponsors; creating posters and banners; and collecting towels, sponges, and other supplies. The 2011 event took place on a Saturday in May with the help of 50 young Lamplighter alums and raised over $7,000 for the Land Fund, a campaign that launched in 2010 to help Lamplighter purchase its 12-acre property from The Hockaday School. Over the years, the Car Wash has continued to provide opportunities for young Lamplighter alums to show their entrepreneurial spirit and give back to the School. Proceeds from the 2011 – 2015 Young Alumni Car Wash events benefited the Lamplighter Land Fund, while proceeds from the 2016 and 2017 Car Wash events benefited the Igniting Young Minds for a Lifetime of Learning campaign, Save the date for this year’s Young Alumni Car Wash!

  18. FacultyFocus Institute for Early Childhood Teachers at The Lamplighter School L-R: Lamplighter Teachers Gretchen Pollom, Anita Orozco and Cara Hicks Cooking lessons in the Barn with Chef Toby Archibald Presentation by Luisa Aviles of Real School Gardens One Space Forward! Lamplighter School hosts Faculty Forward, professional development program for Pre-K through second-grade teachers by Gretchen Pollom Students Create Math-Themed Board Games This past summer, The Lamplighter School hosted the first Faculty Forward, a professional development program for Pre-K through second-grade teachers. Cara Hicks, Anita Orozco, and Gretchen Pollom created and designed the one- week program which taught area teachers how to engage their students through hands-on, outdoor, experiential lessons focused on life and Earth science and integrated literacy, math, art, and social- emotional curriculum. Eight participants attended from local schools: Alcuin, da Vinci, Hockaday, and Temple Emanu-El, and two teachers from Tyler, Texas. It was an amazing cohort of educators, learning and sharing with one another. from Real School Gardens, the Dallas Arboretum, Perot Museum of Nature and Science, North Haven Gardens, and Mountain View Community College in addition to master gardeners, master naturalists, and Matt White, author of the book Prairie Time. Dice! Cards! Move one space forward. Bingo! Another winner! Lamplighter students created their own board games and shared them with classmates as a culmination of their third- grade math experience. What better way to “show what they know” than to build a game that required players to add, subtract, multiply, and divide! Each participant of the program was provided with a curriculum binder filled with lesson plans, handouts, and recipes. Speaking of recipes, the culmination of each day was an hour long cooking lesson with a local chef, who taught the teachers how to use and cook local foods grown in our community garden. The daily recipes were boiled potatoes with lemon and herbs, succotash, blackberry compote and pancakes, and a delicious garden salad. When a child grows her own food, she develops a greater understanding of her impact on the Earth through topics such as growing locally, composting, reducing waste, water and soil conservation, and plant and animal life cycles. The project began two years ago with a conversation in the classroom well. Students worked in groups with two or three friends to design an original board game. After choosing which math concept they wanted to incorporate into their game, they took two days for design, additional time to build the game, and a couple of days to test it. They used classroom resources for building. The professional development focused on gardening and farmers’ markets on Monday and Tuesday, Blackland Prairies on Thursday and Friday, and Wednesday was a field study to Mountain View Community College (MVCC), one of the Dallas County Community College Districts schools. MVCC has a sustainability program with a native Blackland Prairie, a community garden, a geological Austin rock quarry, aquaponics, and more. Each day was four hours long, and guest speakers were invited to discuss topics ranging from school gardens to the local ecosystem. Speakers attended This leadership opportunity allowed students to explain the games to friends as teachers assessed their understanding of math concepts. Third-grade math teacher Lauren Hardage remarked, “The project was a good way for students to demonstrate what they learned in math class this year.” In the coming years, our hope is to have involvement by faculty from both public and independent schools. Appreciating “home” and understanding the local flora and fauna of our ecosystem, the Blackland Prairie, offers endless teaching opportunities. Winners indeed! 18 LAMPPOST

  19. Math Every Day Lamplighter Students Excel in New Every Day Math Program by Vicki Raney The Lamplighter School faculty systematically examines curriculum and instructional practices to ensure that their work is fully aligned with the mission of our school and national standards. Over the last three years, the math curriculum team, which includes teachers from Pre-K through fourth grade, met monthly to review content and issues related to mathematics and young children. + Engages children in the joy of learning by teaching them to be problem solvers how they solved a particular program. Articulating the strategy they used reinforces how students can find answers. Lamplighter’s math program balances how-to skills with concepts children need to understand, and teachers are careful about praising students for their mathematical thinking rather than being first to get the answer before everyone else. Teachers are patient with students to ensure that every child has enough time to think about the problem and determine the best answer. + Encourages curiosity and promotes a deeper mathematical understanding while building confidence + Stresses not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels As part of that examination of curriculum, the math curriculum committee chose to use the latest edition of Every Day Math. Math faculty reviewed the latest research and uncovered how colleagues teach math at local ISAS schools. The group met with company representatives and trainers who made presentations to Lamplighter faculty, and they debated the advantages of multiple programs. The work of this committee was intentional, comprehensive, and thorough. With various teacher editions and student materials in their hands, and after checking online for feedback, trying out online resources for students, and plenty of collegial conversations, Lamplighter endorsed Every Day Math. Lamplighter faculty noted the many advantages of the new edition of Every Day Math. Third-grade math teacher Leslie Bledsoe says that it “helps students become problem solvers and good thinkers, and provides more practice with concepts and a broad variety of ways to learn concepts.” Teachers appreciate the additional hands-on manipulatives and new games that are included with the program. Faculty members had extensive training and have professional development available online. Students also have online access to games when they are at home. Parents have online access as well. Every Day Math includes online tutorials for students and parents. Lamplighter continues to nurture our students and to prepare them to be lifelong learners. They leave us as true mathematicians! Every Day Math is a wonderful match for Lamplighter students with a program that: A writing component was added to this version of Every Day Math, which requires students to write sentences about + Provides hands-on learning LAMPPOST 19

The team shared resources and led colleagues through activities over the last eight weeks, The team also invited Erin Brandao to provide another half-hour faculty session next month so they have additional activities they can integrate into their classes. “Mindfulness is a way of life that fills us with purposeful moments.” – Liz Curlin • Breathing that helps relax the body and calm the mind • More compassion for others • Navigating ups and downs by seeing events objectively Students Take a Mindful Moment When I walked through Lamplighter classes this morning, I noticed that faculty members are taking a 60-second moment to take a deep breath and refocus their students. Doing so is but one of many ways to teach and practice mindfulness with young learners. Anne Yarbrough says, “Since adding mindfulness as a daily practice, my life has become more balanced. I have loved sharing the practice of being mindful with my students. Together, we have learned to take a ‘pause’ and experience the world around us and inside us.” Mindfulness is being aware of our thoughts, emotions, and the environment surrounding us. It is the intentional nurturing of kindness and compassion. Lamplighter teachers believe the research that indicates a mindfulness practice will improve students’ attention levels, their self-control, and memory. All of those skills allow students to be better classmates and to be more successful when learning new concepts. Parents may want to ask children about mindful moments in class this year. The following books may be useful, too. The Lemonade Hurricane by Licia Morelli, Moody Cow Meditates by Kerry Lee Mac Lean, and What Does It Mean to be Present by Rana DiOrio. Lamplighter students currently have at least two 60-second mindful moments throughout the school day. The school has several mindfulness goals for students that include: Jill Wiedman, Lamplighter’s school counselor, has extensive training in mindfulness. She, along with Pre-K • Observing and naming emotions as they occur • Awareness of behavior patterns Jill Wiedman | Liz Curlin | Anne Yarbrough

  21. MattinglyAward “Dreams Really Do Come True” Mattingly Award Recipient Debbie Cox Travels to Birthplace by Debbie Cox “Dreams really do come true!” As long as I can remember I have dreamed of going to Heidelberg, Germany, my birthplace. Pat Mattingly and the Mattingly Fund allowed me to experience this lifelong dream. After spending two days in Heidelberg, we were off to Salzburg, Austria, for three days. Of course, we went on a tour and sang, “The Hills Are Alive (With the Sound of Music),” and they truly were. We visited Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in the Bavarian Alps. The weather was perfect, and being eye level with the Alps, we could see an incredible panoramic view of both Germany and Austria. On our way back, we stopped at the Hallein Salt Mines, and suited up to slide down into the underground Salt Mine under Hallein, Austria. to describe the feelings I had. To read about Dachau is devastating, but to see and walk where 206,200 humans were murdered was overwhelming. It made me realize again how very lucky I am. What impressed me as an educator is that every German student is required to tour a concentration camp. What made this trip even more meaningful was having my daughter, Meredith, with me. It was my first trip out of the United States, and our first place to visit was the hospital where I was born, the 130th Station Hospital, Heidelberg, Germany. The hospital, which had been converted to the United States Army Health Center, closed in 2015. Even though I did not get to go in, my daughter told me the smile on my face when I saw where I was born was priceless. While in Heidelberg, we visited the Heidelberg Castle, Heidelberg’s Old Bridge, and the Church of the Holy Spirit, where they were celebrating the 500th year of the Reformation. On the last day, we rose early and were zipped to the airport by way of the Autobahn, listening to a nice German gentlemen sing his rendition of “Sweet Caroline.” Our last three days were spent in Munich. We visited the English Garden, where we watched river surfing in the Eisbach, an artificial stream that runs through the garden, and we had to visit Koniglicher Hirschgarten, the largest beer garden in Bavaria. Our final place to see was Dachau Concentration Camp. There are no words Dreams do come true! This was the best experience of my life, besides having my children. Thank you, Pat Mattingly!

  24. “A select group of individuals have left their mark on this great school. Elise Murphy left footprints on the heart of Lamplighter and touched the lives of countless students, parents, faculty, staff, and Board members. Her dedication and love of Lamplighter will stand as a benchmark for excellence in all that follow in her footsteps. We all miss her presence at school each and every day. “ – Marynell Murphy UNSUNG HERO Lamplighter Honors Assistant Head for Finance and Operations Elise Murphy on Her Retirement Last April, the Lamplighter community, together with over 250 friends, colleagues, former colleagues, and family, gathered at Lamplighter to celebrate Elise Murphy and her extraordinary service to the School. Following an impressive career, including just under 20 years of service to The Lamplighter School, Assistant Head for Finance and Operations Elise Murphy celebrated her retirement. Elise in 1997 and worked closely with her until Mattingly retired from the School in 2000. Today, they remain close friends as well as mentors for many Lamplighter employees. Ms. Mattingly joined Elise on the stage’s couch as “Mr. Edwards” continued by introducing the next guest, Mary Brinegar, the President and CEO of the Dallas Arboretum. Ms. Brinegar has known Elise for nearly 50 years, dating back to their days at SMU, and has become a lifelong friend, ally, and business partner through the Lamplighter-Dallas Arboretum educational partnership. After earning a B.A. in French and History, as well as an M.L.A. and M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University, Elise was employed at the school for six years as the University’s Financial Officer in the graduate research center, Institute for the Study of Earth and Man, with the title of Controller. Following SMU, Elise and her sister, Marynell Murphy, (Lamplighter’s current Director of Operations), owned and operated a retail store, The Four Leaf Clover, for seven years before she came to Lamplighter in 1997. This began a 20-year commitment to the School’s business office, overseeing all accounting, finance, and operations, and managing the business office team. More special guests followed in the program, highlighting the many aspects of Elise’s service to the School including her mentorship of the Lamplighter Layers organization, partnership with the Lamplighter Parents’ Association (LPA), representation on the Leadership Team, and management of the Business Office. Three Class of 2017 students, who served as Treasurers of the Lamplighter Layers organization, noted, “Ms. Murphy taught us how to use an Excel spreadsheet and what it means to be true treasurers of Lamplighter Layers,” while a Lamplighter Parents’ Association (LPA) representative joked, “You have always told us that you weren’t going to jail alone for any laws we innocently broke!” During the Sunday afternoon retirement celebration, the crowd gathered in the Klyde Warren Auditorium, which was decorated in shades of blue, Elise’s favorite color, and with bluebonnets, Elise’s favorite flower. To commemorate the occasion, Lamplighter Drama Teacher Jeff Peck posed as “Ralph Edwards, Jr.” and hosted a “trip down memory lane,” presenting Elise with a “This Is Your Lamplighter Life” program. The guests listened carefully as “Mr. Edwards” introduced a series of visitors who have been influential in Elise’s “Lamplighter Life,” following the format of the original television series of the 1950s and 1960s. The largest group joined Elise on stage when “Ralph Edwards” introduced 20 years of Elise’s colleagues from the Lamplighter Leadership Team and Business Office. These individuals worked closely with Elise over many years and will miss her dearly for her “wise and thoughtful advice,” noted Sandy Diamond, Director of Advancement and fellow member of the Leadership Team. Assistant Head for Academics, Vicki Raney, went on to explain, “Elise Murphy is the epitome of a great colleague. She is serious and funny, all at the same time. Elise is accomplished, knowledgeable, creative, and thoughtful.” The first mystery guest in the program featured Pat Mattingly, former Lamplighter Head of School, who declared, “I have always said Elise was the best hire I ever made.” Ms. Mattingly hired 24 LAMPPOST

  25. StaffStories Within her department, Elise demonstrated leadership and knowledge that inspired her team to achieve outstanding results year after year. One of the most telling statistics of this leadership and outstanding performance is made evident by her “perfect record” of yearly reports from the auditors. Under her leadership, Lamplighter successfully achieved a clean audit during all 20 years of her service to the School. In addition to her strong business performance, Elise also inspired many team members to achieve great success through her knowledge and guidance. Finance and Human Resources Coordinator Johanna Nystrom noted, “It was my privilege to work with Elise for 18 years. We were almost like an old married couple where we knew each other’s thoughts, finished each other’s sentences, and learned so much from each other. To be able to work for and with someone so incredibly knowledgeable about the independent school business office was invaluable.” this honor.

Elise’s grandchildren, Colin and Waverly Brown, of San Francisco sweetly asked, “Does this mean you will get to spend more time with us?” As the children presented Elise with flowers, a special video presentation was displayed, highlighting photos of Elise over the past 20 years at Lamplighter. • Service outside of Lamplighter – has worked for 38 years with the Junior League of Dallas, a women’s organization devoted to community service, serving as a treasurer and board member and still assists with endowment activities Elise supported four Heads of School and our regional association – ISAS, amongst others. Hill described Elise as a consummate professional, “Elise led every initiative with the highest level of integrity and a deep and unwavering commitment to the School. Never shy about expressing gratitude, nor making a correction to an error, her ‘get it done’ attitude will be remembered always.” The celebration concluded with a very special announcement by Head of School Dr. Joan Hill. Hill informed the guests that Elise had recently been awarded the Will J. Hancock Unsung Hero Award presented by the National Business Officers Association (NBOA).

  26. OCTOBER 13 Lamplighter Celebrates Annual Carnival with “Calling All Superheroes” Theme SUPERHERO SUCCESS On Friday, October 13, Lamplighter celebrated its 64th Carnival with “Superhero Success”! Students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff joined together for some cape-wearing, crime- fighting, tall-building-leaping adventures to celebrate this year’s “Calling All Superheroes” event, hosted by the Lamplighter Parents’ Association. A special thank you to Carnival Co-Chairs Margaret Morse and Amy Puig and the entire Carnival Committee for making the event a "Superhero Success”! Co-Chairs: Margaret Morse and Amy Puig Alumni Volunteer Coordinator: Erin Hillman Parent Volunteer Coordinator: Neelima Kurji Attractions: Morgan Kennedy, Scott Kennedy, and Neha Nayyar Bake Sale: Brittany Lober and Lindsey Martinson Event Services: Michael Stern First Aid: Eleise Weisberg Food: Katie Oudt, Natalie Oudt, and Traci Lee Mock ER: Kate Barden and Christine Ho Salon: Billie Jean Langham and Karin Tribuna Signs: Carolyn Johnson and Tinka Yunus Souvenirs: Caroline Belanger and Shelby Stanley Staffing: Elizabeth McNeil T-Shirts & Tickets: Lilly Albritton, Kristin Fay, and Natalie Johnson Virtual Reality: Steve Nix This time-honored Lamplighter tradition kicked off with the “Parade of Grades,” as all Pre-K through fourth-grade students donned superhero t-shirts and masks and marched to the outdoor, on-campus event. Once the event officially began, students joined in midway games, pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, and train rides around the Ring Road. This year’s special superhero attractions included “Superman’s Flying Zipline,” “Spiderman’s Web Slinger Euro Bungee” trampolines, “Avenger’s Climbing Tower,” “Wonder Woman’s Power Zorb Ball,” “Captain America Training Soccer Darts,” and “Batman’s Amazing Slide.” Other returning Carnival favorites rounded out the activities including the photo booth, salon, and Mock ER (Emergency Room). To keep the superheroes energized, Central Market sponsored a free “SNACK SHACK,” where children could grab free healthy snacks throughout the event. Also new this year was the Souvenir Booth, which offered a chance to enhance crime-fighting abilities with extra capes, masks, extra muscles, spider web silly string, kryptonite slime, and glow-in-the-dark accessories. As in the past, the Carnival culminated with the traditional Senior Jacket Ceremony on the hill. The fourth-grade students were awarded red and black letter jackets, a memorable keepsake to celebrate their Senior year at the School. Each student was called to the hill, one by one, to receive the Lamplighter jacket, which they wear proudly all year long, to show their Lamplighter spirit.

  31. AlumniNow It’s a wash 2017 YOUNG ALUMNI CAR WASH Over 60 middle and high school students gathered on May 13 last spring to host Lamplighter’s seventh annual Young Alumni Car Wash. Led and run by Lamplighter’s youngest alums (5th through 12th graders), the Car Wash is one of the highlights of the school year. The 2017 Car Wash Chair was Emma Siegel ’09, a senior at The Hockaday School. Emma gathered alums representing nine different schools in the metroplex. By meeting at Lamplighter monthly during the spring semester, alums had the opportunity to reconnect with each other, the School, and meet new alums. “We realized that even though many of us attended Lamplighter years apart from each other, we still have many of the same memories and definitely know the same hootenanny songs!,” Emma exclaimed. Parents of the young alums also joined the fun that beautiful afternoon in May to see old Lamplighter friends and to support their children’s first alma mater. “All in all, it was a perfect day,” said current and alumni parent Jennifer Brylowski.
