The View From Here 

I always look forward to the start of the school year. The teachers and students return 

re-energized, excited and ready to get back into the regular routine of school. 

As I sit at my desk writing this letter, I’m looking out at vibrantly colored falling leaves 

as students come up the walkway through shafts of filtered sunlight. I love my view 

between the administration building and the Middle School because every time I 

look up from my work I have an opportunity to see students interacting and enjoying 

themselves as they move across the campus or into the Bengal Cafe. And let me say, 

now that we have 4-year-olds on our campus, GDS is livelier than ever! 

This issue of the GDS Magazine is full of information about our continued efforts to educate the 21st century learner. 

upper School physics teacher Jeff regester’s passion for physics inspired him to research the work of Galileo and to visit 

some of the important places where he lived and worked. The 6th grade is celebrating five years of outdoor education 

on a real working farm, and one of our upper School students spent part of his summer taking classes at our sister 

school in South Africa. As you can see, 21st century learning at GDS isn’t confined to the classroom walls. 

our plans for the new Middle School building are on track, and we continue to hope for an opening of the facility early 

in 2015. We couldn’t be more pleased than to have Samet Corporation taking the lead in this design and build project. 

Samet is a first class operation and has completed several buildings on our campus, most notably our last major building: 

the Davison Center for the Arts. 

our Generations capital campaign co-chairs, Melinda and Jim rucker ’82 and Merrill and Chuck Keeley ’81 have done 

an incredible job of leading the campaign, and we expect the excitement to build as we finish the architectural plans 

and publish them in early 2013. We are so grateful for their leadership and that of our major donors, the Bell family. In 

this edition of GDS Magazine, we highlight the generosity of the Hummels, past parents of GDS. Their gift once again 

recognizes that the bonds that tie us all to GDS remain strong well after graduation. 

Finally, I am so grateful to all of our donors from last school year. As you will see in our extensive Annual report of 

Donors, hundreds of current and past parents, faculty, alumni, grandparents and friends of the school continue to 

believe that GDS is the premier PK-12 educational institution in Greensboro. 

Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to watching the seasons change through my window and having a 

bright and memorable balance of the school year.

Letter from the Chair 

I want to update you on the work the GDS Board of Trustees and its 

committees have been—and will be—doing this school year and, 

in the process, familiarize you a little with some individual trustee 

leaders and the responsibilities of the board in general. 

The GDS Board of Trustees is a working board. By that, I mean that we 

don’t have honorary trustees, trustees emeritus, or advisory trustees. 

each of our 23 trustees serves on at least one board committee; most 

serve on two committees, and several sit on three or more committees 

or task forces. Trustees are responsible for providing for the fiscal 

viability of the school and, as fiduciaries, for overseeing the proper 

use of resources entrusted to the school—tuition dollars, endowment 

funds, employee retirement accounts, physical plant and land and 

even human resources. The board fulfills that responsibility in two 

major ways—by setting and monitoring policy and by designating a 

chief executive officer to carry out the mission of the school. 

Trustees are usually able to take at least a short break from school 

responsibilities during summer months, but this year the Buildings 

& Grounds Committee, ably chaired by Chuck Keeley ’81, worked 

throughout the summer to select a contractor for our new middle 

school. During June, a number of local and regional contractors 

submitted proposals for our project. After narrowing that list to three 

finalists, Chuck and the committee spent hours interviewing each 

finalists’ management team to ascertain their experience overseeing 

the construction of educational and green buildings, evaluate 

their ability to stay within a budget and on a timeline, and make 

sure they had a plan for keeping campus disruption to a minimum 

during the construction process. ultimately, the Buildings & Grounds 

Committee voted unanimously to recommend Samet Construction 

as the contractor for our new Middle School and the board, also 

unanimously, accepted that recommendation. 

Meanwhile, Capital Campaign executive Committee co-chairs Melinda 

and Jim rucker ’82 and Merrill and Chuck Keeley ’81, Director of 

Advancement Anne Hurd, and a number of school volunteers, worked 

throughout the summer following up on campaign solicitations. As 

of early September, your generous gifts have enabled us to raise 

$4.6 million toward our $7.0 million goal, with a number of verbal 

commitments still in the pipeline. Many thanks to all who have 

made gifts to the capital campaign. I urge those who have not 

yet pledged to respond generously when a campaign volunteer 

calls. Most parents don’t realize that their tuition never includes a 

charge for the construction costs of any structure on campus--GDS 

depends 100% on gifts to fund our new buildings and always has. It’s 

important to remember that we 

have all benefited from the great 

generosity of capital campaign 

donors before us. 

BoArD rePorT 

Although we have only just begun 

this school year, Jack Whitley, 

chair of the Finance Committee, 

and Chief Financial officer Pam 

Hemphill are already at work on 

budgeting for 2013/14. For the fourth consecutive year, this year’s 

tuition increase was among the lowest in the school’s history. Jack 

and Pam are exploring ways to continue to keep tuition increases 

low, while being careful to maintain funding for core elements of our 

program, ever mindful of the mission of the school to develop the 

intellectual, ethical and interpersonal foundations students need to 

become constructive contributors to the world. 

Penny Graves has a huge job as the new chair of our Committee 

on Trustees, which is responsible for guiding the nomination and 

orientation process for new trustees, managing the board’s goalsetting 

and evaluation processes, and updating our bylaws and board 

policies. This year we were pleased to welcome five new members 

of the board and so appreciate their commitment to serving GDS. 

new Audit Committee chair Pat Burns oversees our regulatory and 

financial reporting process and he brings a wealth of audit experience 

to this job. With a couple of new chairs this year, we are fortunate to 

have nancy Vaughan on board for a third consecutive year as chair 

of the Diversity Committee and J. Scott ’90 serving a second year as 

Investment Committee chair. 

I cannot thank my fellow trustees enough for their dedicated service 

to Greensboro Day School. We are privileged to serve an educational 

institution with outstanding faculty and administrators and I sincerely 

thank each of them for their efforts. Finally, please join me in a 

heartfelt thank you to Mark Hale, who is wholly dedicated to making 

GDS the very best school it can be.

Hummels’ Gift to Generations Campaign 

Celebrates the Educational Foundation Their Children Received at GDS 

Anne and Sam Hummel 

Anne and Sam Hummel believe that the educational foundation their 

four children received at Greensboro Day School set them each on a path 

to address problems that challenge our country and the world. It is the 

reason they have made a lead gift to the Generations Capital Campaign. 

“This gift is our expression of gratitude to the outstanding teachers at 

GDS who inspired our children to dream big and work hard to make a 

difference in the world,” the Hummels said recently over coffee in the 

home where they raised their children. 

“Greensboro Day School’s dedicated teachers have had a very positive 

influence on the lives of our children by guiding their decision-making 

and by encouraging personal growth and lasting friendships,” said 

their mother Anne, a former GDS Trustee. 

“GDS nurtured a growing awareness of the world around them and 

helped them develop their talents and problem-solving skills,” their 

father Sam says. 

Indeed, each of the Hummels’ children has built upon the foundation 

they received at GDS through higher education and work experience 

to develop expertise in their chosen field. Elizabeth ’89 established 

a K-5 dual-language program at Siler City elementary School that 

teaches english-speaking and Spanish-speaking children together, 

with half the day taught in English and the other half in Spanish. This 

program was recently recognized by the Spanish Embassy as one of 

the “Top 10” dual language education programs in the u.S. In four 

more years, all 750 students in the school will be enrolled in the 

program. Leslie Anne, PhD, (GDS ’94), is Senior Policy Advisor in the uS 

Dept. of energy, working with senior officials to develop federal clean 

energy policies to reduce global warming and stabilize our planet’s 

life support systems. In 2010, she received the GDS Distinguished 

Alumni Award for outstanding service to the nation and extraordinary 

distinction in her field. Amelia ’95 and her husband Dr. David Hodges 

are foster parents to children in need of protective services, a stable 

home life, and patient, loving care and attention. Sam ’99 works 

for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher 

education, using internet technology to help 1800 American colleges 

and universities share best practices to make their campuses more 

sustainable. He has also developed an organic farm in Hillsborough, 

offering chemical-free vegetables and meat at local farmers markets 

to promote better health, build community, and reduce the fuel 

consumption of “food miles.” 

“These different paths followed by our children are indicative of the 

wide variety of paths chosen by other GDS alumni who are also serving 

their communities,” they quickly point out. “When viewed together, 

GDS alumni are demonstrating in their adult lives how effectively the 

School encourages and prepares its students to pursue causes that 

benefit the common good.” 

The Hummels “enthusiastically salute” the commitment that the 

faculty of GDS makes every day to the School’s mission to develop the 

intellectual, ethical and interpersonal foundations students need to 

become constructive contributors to the world. 

During her tenure on the GDS Board of Trustees (1989-95), then- 

Headmaster Dr. ralph Davison enlisted Anne Hummel’s leadership in 

chairing the education Committee and helping to draft the School’s 

Long-range Plan. She helped establish the standard of forwardthinking 

leadership that inspired a later Board, in 2006, to chart a 

course to reconfigure grades within the three divisions, moving 5th 

grade to Middle School. The Hummels embrace the vision to design 

and build a new middle school building with features that encourage 

students’ interaction with the natural world, facilitate an advanced 

curriculum, and foster exceptional teaching practices. 

To recognize the gift the Hummels have made to the Generations 

Campaign, the eighth grade science classroom/lab in the Bell Middle 

School will be named in their honor.

GDS Hires Samet Corporation 

for Construction of New Middle School 

Centerbrook and CJMW Architects Chosen for Design 

Greensboro Day School has selected Samet Corporation to oversee 

design and construction of a new $5 million Middle School building. 

nationally renowned Centerbrook Architects and Planners of 

Centerbrook, Conn., and local award-winning architectural firm 

Calloway Johnson Moore & West (CJMW) will team up for the design. 

Samet Corporation will partner with the architects for the design 

phase this fall, with construction of the new Middle School expected 

to be completed before January 2015. The new Middle School will be 

named for the Steve and Jackie Bell Family, whose $1.15 million gift 

to the campaign is the largest in school history. 

Middle School Director ed Dickinson and a faculty design team have 

researched and toured other middle schools, compiled a list of space 

needs based upon the GDS Middle School educational program, and 

will work with architects this fall on the actual design. 

“replacing the outdated facility with one that is built for students in 

the middle grades with a design tailored to the academic program 

will enhance our learning environment for this critically important 

developmental age, and allow the school to implement its plan to have 

5th grade join the Middle School,” said Head of School Mark Hale. 

The new building will be constructed southwest of the existing Middle 

School on the site of the old tennis courts. Construction will not 

disrupt classes for current students. removal of the existing Middle 

School building will open the center of campus for a planned new 

park-like central quadrangle. In an earlier phase of the campus plan 

completed last year, the school constructed a new tennis complex, 

installed new front entrance curbing, and addressed storm water 

environmental requirements and related infrastructure necessary to 

reorient the front of the campus to Lake Brandt road. 

“Despite a challenging economy, all earlier-phase projects were fully 

funded by charitable gifts made during the quiet leadership phase 

of the Generations Capital Campaign, a $7 million campaign publicly 

launched last year,” said Board Chair Fran Tewkesbury. “The school’s 

goal is to complete its campus master plan through charitable giving 

by the GDS school community.” The campaign has raised over twothirds 

of the needed funding to complete this phase of the plan. 

Samet Corporation has been headquartered in Guilford County and has 

provided construction services for 51 years servicing the education, 

healthcare, commercial/industrial, and multi-family housing sectors. 

The company is consistently ranked in local and national publications 

and has become the contractor of choice in some of the area’s 

high profile projects. Since 2007, the education Group alone has 

participated in $238 million of educational building facilities including 

projects for Guilford County Schools, GTCC, unCG, WSSu, Gateway 

university research Park, and High Point university. Samet’s success 

is built on character and delivering five core values of Service, Quality, 

Innovation, Trust, and Safety. The Samet family has been a part of the 

GDS community for many years as parents of GDS students. 

Three years ago, Centerbrook Architects directed a conceptual design 

charrette at GDS when groups of students, faculty, parents, trustees, 

grandparents and others were invited to dream together about what 

possible features a new Middle School might include; this resulted 

in a set of conceptual drawings that have been used throughout the 

capital campaign marketing. The actual new Middle School design will 

be informed by the earlier concepts but the faculty team will figure 

more prominently in working with architects to determine practical 

space needs and features that support the educational program and 

fit the construction budget. 

established in 1975, Centerbrook has a national practice with a staff 

of 75. one of the four principals, Chad Floyd, will head the GDS 

design project. They have experience with 33 independent schools, a 

strong background in collaborative design, and a history of designing 

appealing and practical buildings and fixtures. While the firm’s studio 

is located near new Haven, Conn., they were commended by unCG 

and The Collegiate School in richmond, Va., for their effective and 

frequent communications with clients through teleconferencing and 

other technologies. 

CJMW has designed 1.75 million sq.ft. of K-12 learning environments 

in the past five years. The firm is a regional leader in the use of Building 

Information Modeling, or BIM, a digital representation of physical 

and functional characteristics of a facility. The firm’s architects and 

interior designers develop a BIM that remains “live” from the earliest 

stages of design all the way through construction documentation and 

administration. CJMW and Samet have worked together on a number 

of projects on the GDS campus including the Davison Center for 

the Arts and the McMillion Media Center. John Drinkard, principalin 

charge, oversaw the firm’s work on eight projects over a 15-year 

period at GDS and is the parent of an alumna.

Parents Become School Ambassadors 

This new school year began with an impressive group of behind-thescenes 

parents spreading the great news of GDS and reminding all of 

us why we love being a part of this community. 

Lower School children were of“FISH”ally welcomed back to school 

with snacks of Goldfish, Middle and upper School students were 

reminded that they are quite the “smartie” pants for making the most 

of their GDS education, thanks to some Smarties candies, and all GDS 

parents were challenged to spread the word of our great community 

for the Back to School Challenge. 

This festive start to a new school year was organized entirely by our 

Parent Ambassador Council, a new group of volunteers supporting 

GDS admission efforts. 

While all Greensboro Day School parents are ambassadors for our 

school, it is the specific role of the Parent Ambassador Council to 

serve in a truly supportive role to the Admission office. The Parent 

Ambassador Council was formed to coordinate parent efforts to 

assist in admission activities and community building through a 

variety of events and activities. Parent Ambassadors will serve as 

liaisons at open houses, coffees, reunions and other school and 

community events. In addition to helping with direct efforts with 

regard to internal or external marketing, admission process and 

CAMPuS neWS 

retention, these committee members 

are asked to always keep an open 

mind and seek opportunities to 

highlight Greensboro Day School 

whenever possible. Ambassadors 

are called upon in various ways 

to welcome new families, support 

and engage existing families and 

even strengthen ties with alumni. 

The commitment from each Parent 

Ambassador to these activities will truly 

help to strengthen and enrich the Greensboro Day School experience 

for both the school and Greensboro community.

Mariah Warren ’15 went undefeated in doubles play and Mariah 

Warren was undefeated in singles play. The Bengals lost a tough 3rd 

round match against Charlotte Latin in the state tournament, bringing 

an end to their impressive season. 

The varsity boys’ soccer team finished the regular season ranked #2 

in the state and #2 in the conference. The Bengals made it to their 

fourth consecutive nCISAA State Championship game, losing to 

conference rival Wesleyan Christian Academy. The 2012 team lost a lot 

of experience from the 2011 season, but they worked hard as a group 

and were able to achieve great success throughout the year. Although 

graduating another large group of seniors (10), the soccer program 

has a bright future ahead, returning 16 players from this year’s team. 

The girls’ varsity cross country team had an outstanding 2012 season. 

Led by conference runner of the year Gabby Merritt ’13, one the top-5 

high school runners in north Carolina, the girls continued their winning 

tradition with their third straight PACIS conference championship and 

second straight runner-up finish at the All City/County meet. The girls 

will look to build on their success next year as we return many of our 

current top runners. 

The boys’ cross country team was led by conference runner of the 

year Clayton Wilson ’13. They improved upon regular season and 

conference results from previous years. There were many new faces 

this season who will return as veterans next year and will continue to 

improve our program. 

This season was a building year for both the volleyball and field hockey 

teams. A conference victory over Forsyth Country Day in volleyball was 

a huge morale builder for the many younger athletes on the team. In 

field hockey, 20 girls participated, six of them were seniors. The team 

consistently improved over the course of the season, and earned a 

playoff spot with a very exciting win against Carolina Day. 

The Greensboro Day School varsity girls’ golf team completed their 

first official season in the nCISAA this year. The Bengals finished 11th 

in the state tournament at Mid-Pines Golf Course in Southern Pines. 

Team members were Addy Anderson ’15, Caroline Cox ’13, and Kayla 

reardon ’15. We look forward to the growth of this exciting new 

program at our school. 

Finally, senior Andrew Dutch was honored with the Patrick B. Palmer 

Award at the Greensboro united Soccer Association’s Boys and Girls 

Showcase. The award honors GDS parent Pat Palmer, who passed away 

this past summer, and is given to one player from each participating 

school. The award is given to players who exemplify many of the traits 

Pat exemplified through his life – leadership, passion, selflessness, 

academics, inspiration, and service. Palmer was very active in the 

Greensboro soccer community. He was one of the founders of the 

GuSA High School Showcase, was a member of the Board of Directors 

for GuSA and the north Carolina Fusion, and was a coach for all three 

of his children, Ben ’16, Drew and Lily.

In the Footsteps 

of Galileo 

By Jeff Regester 

Upper School physics teacher 

2012 Brooks Sabbatical Recipient 

Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies 

before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot 

understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the 

symbols in which it is written. This book is written in mathematical 

language, and the symbols are triangles, circles, and other geometrical 

figures, without whose help it is humanly impossible to comprehend 

a single word of it, and without which one wanders in vain through a 

dark labyrinth. – Galileo Galilei 

The author and little 

Galileo. 

In my physics classes, I try to convey some of the history 

of the field and the philosophical foundations of science 

in general. Science is too often portrayed as linear, 

progressing uniformly from ignorance to knowledge in 

an almost robotic, methodical fashion. Teachers often 

talk about “the scientific method” as if there is only one 

way to do science. In reality, the story of science is replete with both 

brilliant insights and frustrating dead ends, international cooperation 

and personal jealousies, intense creativity and tedium, astounding 

sacrifice and unwise shortcuts, charity and greed. In short, it is 

a human enterprise, and thus exhibits the best and the worst in 

people. unlike other fields of human endeavor, however, science 

is self-correcting. Whatever the source of an idea (what scientists 

usually call a hypothesis or model), the primary job of the scientist 

is to disprove that idea. It doesn’t matter if the idea came from a 

prominent scientist or an unknown upstart; if it results from years 

of wrestling with ideas or in a dream; if it’s elegant or a kludge. If 

the idea survives many attempts to disprove it — the idea makes 

predictions that are consistent with repeated and varied experiments 

— then the idea is elevated to the rank of theory (a word that many 

non-scientists think means simply any old idea). Science cannot 

prove anything correct. The best we can do is say our models are 

consistent with all available evidence. If our model or hypothesis is 

noT consistent, then it must be revised or completely rejected. 

A key figure in the foundations of science (and scientific philosophy) 

was the Italian mathematician and astronomer Galileo Galilei. 

Thanks to GDS and the Brooks endowment for Faculty Development, 

my family and I had the opportunity this summer to visit Italy and 

follow in the footsteps of Galileo. 

Galileo was born in Pisa in 1564, moved to Florence at age 10, 

and later entered the university of Pisa to study medicine, as his 

father wished, before diverting himself into mathematics and art. 

He became chair of mathematics at Pisa in 1589, at age 25, after 

lobbying Father Christopher Clavius, the prominent Jesuit behind 

the 1582 calendar reform under Pope Gregory. At Pisa he began his 

studies of motion, studying pendulums, discovering the law of inertia 

(usually referred to, unfairly, as Isaac newton’s First Law of Motion), 

and studying falling objects (famously dropping cannonballs from the 

leaning bell-tower next to the cathedral ). A few years later he moved 

to the university of Padua. Here at Padua he made many of his most 

important discoveries, including improvements to the newly invented 

telescope. using his telescopes, he discovered the moons of Jupiter, 

the Moon’s craters, and the fact that the Milky Way is composed of 

uncountable numbers of stars. These discoveries gained him fame, 

18 GDS Magazine

a new job as court mathematician in Florence under the Medicis, 

and evidence in support of niklaus Copernicus’s notion that the 

sun, rather than the Earth, occupied the center of the universe in 

contradiction to long-standing Church orthodoxy. Galileo was a very 

devout Catholic, but strongly argued that if people’s interpretation 

of scripture disagreed with evidence, then that is the fault of the 

interpretation, not scripture. 

Galileo’s importance goes beyond his specific discoveries and 

extend into the very nature of science itself. Science, as a systematic 

methodology for acquiring knowledge, did not have a widelyaccepted 

philosophical foundation until the 17th century. In 

Galileo’s day, science was natural philosophy; the word science was 

not commonly used in the modern sense until two centuries later. 

Galileo’s writings, as well as his actual discoveries, were instrumental 

in establishing the preference of empirical evidence (specifically, 

mathematical agreement between prediction and experiment) over 

the scholastic tradition of endlessly reinterpreting ancient religious 

and philosophical texts. Galileo also strongly endorsed the notion 

usually referred to as occam’s razor: given two possible explanations 

of a phenomenon, both consistent with observation, then the simpler 

of the two is to be preferred. To wit: Are we to believe that all the 

planets, the Sun and myriad stars revolve around a stationary earth, 

following arcs of immense distances at incredible speed, or instead 

that the earth spins about an axis once a day? Both ideas explain the 

daily rising and setting of the sun and stars, but the latter is certainly 

the simpler explanation. 

After his 1610 move to Florence to join the Medici court, Galileo was 

celebrated throughout Europe, including by the Catholic Church, for 

his discoveries in the heavens. The acclaim heightened as he made 

further discoveries, notably the phases of Venus and sunspots. 

Galileo wasn’t infallible, however, and he made dubious claims 

about the causes of ocean tides and the nature of comets. He had 

a caustic wit, and his writings are masterpieces of sharp mockery, 

publicly skewering prominent Jesuit scholars who disagreed with

him. The enmity he needlessly fostered would haunt him later. Galileo 

increasingly discussed his Copernican worldview publicly, and this led 

to controversy in 1615-16. Although not formally put on trial at this 

time, Galileo was explicitly “commanded and enjoined, in the name of 

His Holiness the Pope and the whole Congregation of the Holy office, 

to relinquish altogether the said opinion that the sun is the center of 

the world and at rest and that the earth moves; nor henceforth to 

hold, teach, or defend it in any way verbally or in writing,” according 

to the minutes of what authorities hoped would be the final meeting 

on the subject. The Counterreformation made the Catholic Church 

inflexible in its Biblical interpretations. Allowing any reinterpretation 

of scripture would, they feared, undermine confidence in Church 

authority and papal infallibility. When Galileo failed to silence himself 

on the topic, he was brought to formal trial by the Inquisition in 

1633. He was convicted of “suspicion of heresy,” and, under threat of 

torture, forced to verbally recant his views. Galileo spent his last ten 

years under house arrest at his villa in Florence, blind and beset by 

numerous other maladies. Despite these challenges, during this time 

he wrote his final scientific testament, the Dialogue Concerning the 

Two Chief World Systems, which was published in the Netherlands, 

beyond the Inquisition’s reach. 

He died in 1642 — the year of Isaac newton’s birth — and was buried 

in an obscure corner of the Santa Croce church in Florence. nearly a 

century would pass before he was reinterred in a more ornate and

prominent tomb. During the move, two fingers and a tooth were 

removed as relics. These are now on display at the Museo Galileo 

in Florence. In 1992, Galileo was officially “rehabilitated” by the 

Catholic Church, an official admission that he was correct, but short 

of a pardon. 

During our trip, we were able to visit many sites associated with 

Galileo in rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice and Padua: his birthplace, his 

various houses, his tomb, the Museo Galileo, the site of his conviction 

and where he was imprisoned in rome briefly before being sent 

to house arrest in Florence. other highlights included the tower in 

Venice where he demonstrated the new spyglass to the Venetian 

senate in hopes of receiving a raise, and the hillside in rome where 

he similarly demonstrated it to the elites there and where the word 

“telescope” was coined by one of the guests. Through the kindness 

of the Arcetri Astrophysical observatory and specifically Dr. Sperello 

di Serego Alighieri, I was able to explore the villa south of Florence, 

closed to the public, where Galileo spent his years of house arrest and 

where he died. 

Personal highlights of the trip include seeing the Italian countryside 

during our inter-city train trips; my children, Ben ’19 and Leah, 

The backyard of Galileo’s villa in Arcetri, south of Florence. 

Galileo spent much time here gardening and tending grape 

vines during the last years of his life.

take that photo); Ben falling into a canal in Venice; riding Segways 

around Florence; my wife, Martha, imitating the renaissance statues 

at the various art museums; the vaporettos (water taxis) in Venice; 

the Coliseum at night; the excitement of the locals when their soccer 

team reached the final game of the euro Cup and their disappointment 

when they lost; the July heat, and the sweet relief of gelato. 

Galileo would recognize the philosophical battles lurking behind the 

scientific controversies of today. Questions such as global climate 

change, evolution, and genetically-modified foods should be decided 

on the available evidence, not anecdotes, preconceived notions, 

cherry-picked evidence, or economic advantage. The conflict between 

Galileo and religious authorities was complex, and only hinted at in 

the space I have here. Fault can be found on both sides of “the Galileo 

Affair.” What if Galileo had been more diplomatic, not goading his 

opponents? What if the church authorities had accepted the power 

of evidence or, as Pope John Paul II declared, that “truth cannot 

contradict truth?” How would the history of science be different if the 

Galileo affair had been less confrontational? Having been immersed 

in Galileo’s life path during this trip, I hope to convey to my students 

the human story that is science. 

The campanile tower in Venice. From this 

tower in 1609, Galileo demonstrated the 

ability of the newly-invented telescope to 

spot arriving ships long before they could 

be seen by naked eye, a capability of great 

importance to an economic and military 

naval power such as Venice.

How I Spent My 

Summer Vacation… 

in South Africa 

By William Armstrong ’14 

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, 

but expecting different results.” – Albert einstein. 

I certainly was going insane, anxiously glancing out of the small window 

into the inky expanse, countless times. I had already been travelling 

for eight hours and with another 18 hours of chasing the sun’s shadow 

ahead of me, I was getting a little antsy. every time I stared out into 

the darkness, I couldn’t help but wonder what I was getting myself 

into. I was headed for Durban, South Africa to spend the last month 

of summer participating in an exchange at the Clifton School, which 

turned out to be a truly unforgettable experience, to say the least. 

one of my most interesting experiences 

was actually participating in classes. I 

was enrolled as a full-time student 

taking: english, math, history, geography, 

Afrikaans, and business studies, for four 

weeks. The very first thing I did after 

arriving in Durban and settling in with 

the first of three host families, was pick 

up my uniform. As part of the student 

body I was required to wear a coat and 

tie to school every day, which is not 

nearly as painful as I first thought. The 

next formality I learned was whenever 

a teacher entered a classroom you

his peers before departing 

the Clifton School. 

stood and greeted them regardless of what you were doing; respect 

is paramount at Clifton School. I was also required to do homework, 

write essays, and take tests along with all the other students. To be 

honest, I found this to be one of the best experiences, learning for the 

sake of learning, not for a grade was novel. I found that the school 

work was much more enjoyable and interesting without the pressure 

of grades. For example, I had to write an essay on satire’s role in South 

African politics. I sat down and read about South African politics and 

the endless fodder it produces for satirists. The “Text Book Crisis” was 

the current debacle while I was in South Africa. The school board had 

lost track of text book shipments that were headed for three different 

provinces. Those in charge had no idea where the books were or what 

to do about it and simply claimed the books were on their way. 

Clifton School allowed me to participate in some extracurricular 

activities as well. I played on a soccer team and went to Toastmasters, 

a public speaking course. I was also invited to travel with some of the 

students to a leadership conference in Pretoria. While I was there I 

heard from several inspirational speakers including Peter Van Kets, 

the first South African to reach the South Pole. He also holds the 

world record for a two person crew rowing across the Atlantic ocean. 

Another speaker was the Ceo of the second largest media company 

in South Africa . He is leading a campaign, “Shout!,” which is fighting 

for a safer South Africa. 

Durban, South Africa 

The school also has a yearly event called the Clifton Challenge. The 

Clifton Challenge is a compulsory 21k run for the entire college (high 

school), and as luck would have it, it was scheduled to take place 

while I was there. As I admitted to the Clifton students in my farewell 

speech, addressed to the college faculty and students, I was not too 

keen on running 13 miles. For once, weather was on my side. The one 

day it rained was the day of the run, and man did it pour. Needless 

to say, I dodged a bullet and the run was postponed until after I left. 

Durban is a modern port 

city, consisting of around 

3.5 million people, it is 

racially and economically 

diverse with large rifts 

between social classes. I 

had the opportunity to visit 

three of the government 

schools not far from Clifton. 

The students came from 

the squatter camps that 

were scattered throughout 

Durban. These schools and

Heights School. 

camps reminded me so much of the schools and villages I saw while on 

the GDS spring break trip to nicaragua last year. one of these schools was 

an elementary school that, with the help of Clifton, will soon be the first 

elementary school in the province with a library. Clifton already has plenty 

of books collected and the school has the space prepped for the library, 

but both schools lack the funding for shelving so the project has been put 

on hold. 

Another school I visited would hardly qualify as a school by American 

standards. There were six trailer classrooms to house 680 students, 

grade r (Kindergarten) to grade 5. unfortunately, one trailers was 

unusable so one class had to be held outside. A little over 70% of 

the students at this school are AIDS orphans forced to take care of 

themselves and their siblings. There was one running faucet and the 

bathrooms consisted of six port-a-johns. While at these schools, I 

helped distribute food, attended a few classes, played soccer, and talked 

with the students, all of whom were unbelievably happy with very little. 

Those visits made me realize how truly blessed I (and my fellow Clifton 

and GDS students) am to be able to afford a quality education. 

The day I said “totsiens” (goodbye) came way too soon. It seemed 

like just yesterday I had been nervously glancing out a plane window. 

The memories and experiences from this trip will be cherished and 

remembered forever. This trip would not have been possible without 

the tremendous effort put forth by both our international programs 

coordinator Don Lahey and the Clifton school.

Five Years 

on the Farm 

By Craig Head, 6th Grade Science Teacher 

I grew up in an area of North Carolina where I had room 

to roam and explore in nature. I have never lost that 

need for myself, and now I wanted it for my family. So, 

in 2005, I came across an old horse farm about 20 miles 

from Greensboro. The front yard of the house and every 

pasture was shoulder height 

in thick brush. The house was plain, 

lacking character, and I was starting 

to get discouraged. But then we 

walked the entire property line and that’s 

when I fell in love. Much of the property 

is made up of terrific forest where 

three creeks converge into one and 

meander through the land. I went 

home that night and told my wife that 

I thought I had found our new home. 

Luckily, my wife also saw the 

potential and fell in love with the farm, 

too. Soon after, we ‘bought the farm,’ 

literally! At that time we became what I like 

to call “Google Farmers,” where we 

started to research, explore and learn 

what we could do at the farm to make 

it environmentally and economically 

sustainable. With some horse boarding, 

a pick-your-own blueberry patch, a 

shiitake mushroom run, a chicken tractor 

for eggs, and a herd of fainting goats, 

Headacres Farm was coming together. 

In our second year at the farm, Middle School Director, Dr. ed 

Dickinson, proposed that we dedicate ourselves as a Middle 

School faculty to rediscovering the importance of a child’s 

connection to nature. The entire faculty read the book Last 

Child In The Woods by richard Louve. After many discussions, 

Craig Head asks members of the class 

of 2019 to imagine what it would have 

been like to build this foundation of a 

mill, discovered on the property and 

built in 1835. 

we were charged with finding more ways to incorporate into 

our curriculum experiential education in natural settings. I 

instantly knew that my farm, Headacres, would be a perfect 

vessel for lessons and experiences for the GDS 6th graders. 

My incredibly gifted and flexible teacher colleagues on the 6th 

grade team agreed. We collaborated and devised a schedule 

that would soon take on the name “FArM WeeK,” where each 

of our four core groups of students in the grade would be 

able to visit the farm for a day. 

our first trip to the farm with the class of 2014 

was a great success. Watching the students’ 

eagerness to learn and explore only 

inspired the teachers to want more. 

Why just go out once? Why not visit 

the farm during each of the seasons? 

Now students could see the farm 

plants, animals, and ecosystems go 

through the different changes that 

the seasons bring. They would see 

the changes in the leaves. They would 

see the newborn baby goats and then 

again after they started to wean 

from their moms. They could 

follow the blueberry plants through 

fall growth, shedding of leaves and 

pruning, to the beginning of fruit 

formation. Most of all, it would not just 

be a ‘one and done’ experience, but an 

experience and setting they could invest in. 

one of the main experiences of each farm 

visit is time spent in ‘solo spots.’ These are specific areas along the 

farm creeks where the students can spend some time alone to 

explore, write, create, and reflect. over the years, this has grown 

to be a cornerstone of the farm experience. Students from 

previous years eagerly await the returning 6th graders from their 

first trip to find out what solo spot they had and share stories. 

“The farm experience is so valuable for our students. There are so few opportunities to slow down and 

disconnect for kids this age. This makes it all the more important to teach them the value of the outdoors, 

time alone and just appreciating quiet,” – Kathi Saunders, GDS parent 

24 GDS Magazine

over the years the farm experience has continued to grow, adding 

a compass course and geocaching, animal observations, stream 

censuses, and much more. Spring of 2012 was the hallmark of 

five years on the farm. The students were always asking for more 

and more time and it was decided by the 6th grade teachers that 

we should give them what they wanted. We devised a schedule 

so all four of the core groups could spend three days and two 

nights at the farm camping out. The students would pitch their 

own tents, cook all their meals on a fire that they helped build 

and spend 50+ hours in nature — no computers, no cell phones, 

no laptops, no conflicts, just plenty of time to explore and relate 

to nature and their peers. 

“There wasn’t a waking moment when we wanted 

to leave or take a break from all the fun. Everyone still 

talks about the farm trip to this day. As 7th graders, 

we have been trying to talk our teachers into taking 

us to Headacres,” – Rylan Ballou ’18 

As my family and I have “matured” through the past years 

and learned the wonderful, yet sometimes demanding and 

challenging, aspects of farm life, so has the nature education 

program for our 6th graders and many of their parents. Each 

summer is celebrated with the opening of blueberry-picking, 

when many GDS families and others familiar with Headacres 

find themselves in the fields and rows of blueberries amazed at 

the growth of the plants, and especially the size of the berries. 

We also hold periodic Farm Days when friends of the farm come 

together for fun and food to watch our children grow-up playing 

freely in the open spaces. 

Kids naturally know what to do in the woods, they make their 

own fun. The past five years on the farm with the GDS 6th grades 

has provided some of the most inspiring experiences I have had 

as an educator and I look forward to many more years. 

Corey Simonds ’16 takes 

advantage of some free time 

to check out the tire swing. 

Time spent in solo spots can be 

some of the most rewarding. 

Thomas Poteat ’18 invests 

in the experience. 

Current 7th graders Cole Vincent, Eliza 

Schenck, and Sophie Dalldorf try their 

hand at catching crayfish. 

6th graders Lily Yamagata and Julia Davis 

hold two of the farm’s latest arrivals 

The Middle School faculty undertakes many 

other wonderful ways to teach our students in 

natural settings. The GDS campus is the most 

available and provides opportunities in our own 

Permaculture Garden, classroom at the pond, 

and nature trails. We also often travel to local 

parks, to the Natural Science Center, and to 

Haw River and Hanging Rock State Parks. But 

we all acknowledge that the farm experience 

is the most unique space that we have to 

accomplish so many different, and yet related, 

“lessons” in science, language arts, art and 

music, and character education. Our approach 

to the “whole child” is also an approach to the 

“whole universe;” it is a much more global 

and authentic approach to human-nature and 

human-human connections. 

– Ed Dickinson, Middle School Director

Alumni Director Notes 

First things first, I would like to introduce myself. My name is 

Michael Sumner ’04 and I am the new Director of Alumni Programs. 

now, I am sure you are all wondering where Kathy Davis has gone 

off to? And no, you didn’t miss a retirement notice. Kathy is back in 

the classroom doing what she loves most; teaching the wonderful 

students we have here at GDS! 

I am extremely excited to be back on GDS campus. Having only been 

away for 8 years, I could say that little has changed. I could also say a 

lot has changed. There are new students, new faculty members and 

new looks to buildings, but the sense of family and community that 

you get as soon as you step on campus is still the same! 

Since I started on July 9, I have had the opportunity to work closely 

with our Alumni Board and I will be the first to say that we have 

an amazing group of alumni working to serve the GDS Alumni 

Association. Throughout the year, you will hear from our board 

members in a variety of capacities. our alumni board members help 

set up service opportunities, plan alumni events, head up the alumni 

annual fund and market our alumni association to each of you! 

The next few months will be extremely busy as we host multiple 

events, kick off the alumni annual fund and continue our social 

media outreach! If you haven’t seen the pictures we have posted 

lately, I would certainly advise you to get on Facebook and “Like” 

the Greensboro Day School Alumni Page! You never know what or 

whose picture might pop up next! 

Please remember, there is no such thing as an alumni association 

without its alumni! We want to keep you connected to GDS! If 

there is an alumni event in your area, plan to attend. If you have 

some free time or want to get involved, 

consider one of the many volunteer 

opportunities that we have to offer. If 

our alumni won’t step up, who will? 

A strong alumni base is one way of 

helping to secure the future of our 

beloved school. 

I look forward to connecting with each 

of you. Feel free to stop by my office 

anytime or email me at michaelsumner@ 

greensboroday.org. I also hope to see 

you all at an upcoming event in your area! 

once a Bengal, Always a Bengal!

Organizing GDS’ 

Rich History 

over four years ago, the Alumni office 

undertook a massive project. In preparation of 

GDS’ 40th Anniversary, then Director of Alumni 

Programs, Kathy Davis, realized we had never 

archived anything from GDS. Kathy partnered 

with elizabeth Hurd, mother of Anna Hurd ’06 

and Molly Hurd ’12, and started gathering item 

after item, picture after picture filling an entire 

room with ‘stuff’ to be archived. This was only 

the first part of the project. next, Kathy invited 

a group of teachers, current and retired, to join 

her in organizing the ‘stuff’ by category. After 

many meetings and lunches, the group was 

finally able to organize all of the pictures into 

the year that they believed the picture was 

taken. After all the pictures were organized by 

year, we took them over to MasterLabs where 

Charles Wright ’86 and his staff digitized over 

20,000 pictures for us. 

Though it seems like this would complete this 

project, it does not. While we search for a home 

for the hard copies, we will begin cataloging our 

database to identify who is who in each picture. 

To do this, we need your help. each week, we will 

post archived photos to the Alumni Facebook 

page. Take the time to “Like” the page so you can 

help us tag the faces in each photo. This will help 

up us catalog these images. 

Thank you to the many teachers, former 

teachers, volunteers, and alumni who have 

spent countless hours making this project 

a success.

Boo Hoo (or Woo Hoo)…the kids are gone 

The Class of 2012 has graduated from GDS and are off to college to start the next chapter of their lives. 

Parents of last year’s senior class gathered at Adeline and David Talbot’s house on September 19 to 

both celebrate and commiserate their children leaving home at the annual GDS Alumni Association’s 

Boo-Hoo Cocktail Party. Parents shared their children’s stories from the first few weeks of college. 

Current teachers stopped by to hear about their former students and Head of School Mark Hale and 

Director of Alumni Programs Michael Sumner made a few remarks. The lasting impression all of the 

parents left with: even though their child graduated from GDS, they are ALL always a part of the GDS 

family and community! 

Merrill Keeley and Mark Hale 

Bengal Legacy Sundae

about Pakistan, my son asks 

about microprocessors 

and sex, he asks about Peter Pan 

and cease fires and hard ships 

that shark the Atlantic and when 

we will stop loving 

each other and whether

asks me for the time, 

the past perfect which I can’t find 

in my pocketbook, the stick of gum 

his grandmother gave him 

before she entered the ground upstate 

in sudden June, the joke she drank 

the last night he saw her, the stem 

of her glass clear, her arms 

wanting his body’s goodbye 

and his body turning away. 

He asks about Satan, the wrong end 

of the movie, if spinach 

for dinner then what 

for dessert. He crawls into 

my bed at six thirty 

with gauze and a newspaper. He wants me 

to bury the lead. He wants the cats 

to live forever but 

stop running for good 

down morning halls. He wants eggs, 

juice and eggs and he will never 

stop asking: 

even when his plate is white 

with grief and galactic heat 

he’ll be calling 

me from the lobby 

in his gray suit to ask 

if volcanoes were furry and closed their eyes 

before they were born 

and I will say yes, yes, 

and other lies the dead tell.

MeeT A BenGAL! 

BY CAroLIne BroWn ’10 

Meg Chambers Steedle ’04 has come a long way since her days on the stage 

at GDS. A graduate of the Class of 2004, Meg is now a recurring character 

on HBo’s Boardwalk Empire as Billie Kent, the mistress of enoch ‘nucky’ 

Thompson (Steve Buscemi). 

At this point, Googling Meg Steedle Boardwalk Empire leads to an abundance 

of articles, interviews, and photos explaining how the northwestern 

grad landed a role on such a big show after only one previous television 

appearance (Body of Proof on ABC). They briefly mention her north Carolina 

background, notably her first role in 3rd grade in The Sound of Music. 

But from our perspective, her experiences at GDS influenced much more 

than meets the average person’s eye. This is a big deal for a small private 

school in the South. “We’re awfully proud of her. She’s going to make her 

name out there,” said ruthie Tutterow, the school’s drama department chair. 

Meg played a number of memorable roles while a student at GDS, including 

Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker in 12th grade, Princess Winnifred in 

Once Upon a Mattress in 8th grade, and of course Dolly in Hello, Dolly! as her 

senior musical. However, she was surprisingly uninterested in auditioning 

for The Sound of Music. “I remember not wanting to do it actually,” Meg 

said with a laugh. “I was having trouble transitioning from my other school 

in Winston-Salem. I think it was my parents’ way of integrating me into this 

new school.” 

Following the show, her love for the theater and the dramatics quickly 

developed. “From then on she was the theatre person,” said her younger 

brother, KC ’06. “When we were growing up, she would take on these 

different characters, do different actions on a whim— speak in a British 

accent, or really dig into a southern drawl, something like that.” 

Enduring Values from GDS 

There are certain ideals that are necessary to succeed in this industry - 

diligence, dedication and charm. “I learned a work ethic at GDS that I did not 

learn from college,” Meg said. 

With a guiding hand, GDS pushes its students to a higher level. It not only 

prepares students for college, but life after college as well. For Meg, this 

carried into her commitment to acting. Whether it was a minor part or a lead 

role, she never took an audition lightly. “Meg always prepared really well for 

her roles, she did her research on them. She’s always been really meticulous 

about that— she takes learning beyond the lines,” Tutterow said. 

Finally performing all the lines she wholeheartedly memorized, Meg kept her 

game face on, even when mishaps occurred. For instance, when she played 

Anita in West Side Story, and was in the middle of confronting the Jets. “She got 

a nosebleed,” Tutterow recalls. “Tommy Webb was [on stage] playing and he 

kept offering her a towel to wipe her nose, and she kept saying, ‘no.’ She stayed 

in character because her character wouldn’t have stopped for anything.” 

Meg even experimented by playing a male role in The Taming of the Shrew 

her junior year. “She was funny in every interpretation,” Tutterow said. “It 

was fun seeing how versatile she was.” 

However, her strong focus on understanding characters never detracted 

from her bubbly, smiley personality. “She’s always been very personable. 

It’s definitely going to help her in this type of industry, having a likable 

personality,” KC said. 

KC Steedle ’06 and Meg Steedle ’04 at the 

Premiere of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire 

The BeGINNING OF AN empIRe 

one of Meg’s favorite aspects of performing while a student at the school 

was the closeness the cast formed for every show. “They create this sense 

of family that we’re all working towards something,” she said. “I’ve been 

in shows where that’s not the case and it frustrates me, because that’s not 

what I grew up with.” 

The family formed during Hello, Dolly! is especially dear to her heart. “All the 

kids in that show wrote me a note to say, ‘thank you for being our Dolly.’ I still 

have that note in my bedroom,” Meg said. 

Slightly Bigger than Prom 

Like any production in the entertainment industry, there is a fancy premiere— 

meaning a red carpet. “I was more nervous than prom,” Meg exclaimed. 

But she invited KC as her date for the night, which helped ease the butterflies 

in her stomach. “She actually forgot her purse the first time we left [her 

apartment], like typical Meg.” KC said. “In the car ride down, she was very 

excited and nervous. But of course once she was there, it was like she’d 

been there a hundred times. All smiles, posing for cameras like she’d done 

it before.” 

As poised and professional as Meg was for the premiere, she acknowledged 

how different it was from her typical routine. “The art of it is so separate 

from the publicity. I understand why people do it, but it’s so separate what I 

feel like I do, which is the acting part,” she reflected. 

Like most HBo shows, Boardwalk Empire caters to an adult audience. At the 

premiere, Meg had to consider her brother sitting next to her during a seminude 

scene. “I just made sure she gave me a tap on the leg if there was a 

scene coming I wasn’t expecting,” KC said. “Her agent, manager and I were 

very pleased with how it was presented— a very tasteful manner.” 

Once a Bengal, Always a Bengal 

As much as she’s grown since strolling the halls of GDS, strong feelings 

of gratitude, love and friendship are forever rooted in her. “GDS gave me 

my start in everything theatre,” Meg said. “They always put a value on 

academics and the arts.” 

Linda Sloan, Meg’s first director back in 3rd grade, is still her mentor today. 

In fact, they still meet up when Sloan is in the City. But Meg is also grateful 

for everyone else that helped make her experience at GDS so memorable: 

ruthie Tutterow, Judy McLaughlin, Beth Dunbar and Dana Lowell. “I was so 

blessed to be charmed by the people and have that theater to work in. I’ve 

worked in professional theaters that aren’t as high-tech as that one,” she 

said, in reference to the Sloan Theatre. 

And as big as her career has grown, she remains humble and approachable 

to younger GDS students seeking guidance. “I love it when people from GDS 

call me up. I love feeling connected to it,” Meg said. 

overall, Meg has earned everything that has come her way. She knows there 

is no silver spoon handed to her in this industry. Who knows what’s in store 

next for the rising star, but she is constantly auditioning to find out. “Hard 

work always pays off in some way. You don’t always know how it’s going to 

pay off,” Meg said. “I’m not saying it has paid off, but that is what has gotten 

me the things that I’m proud about, just keeping at it.”

ANNuAL RePORT OF DONORS 2011-2012 

Fran and Bert Davis, Annual Fund First Chairs, say that the spirit of 

giving is evident everyday at Greensboro Day School as faculty and 

staff, students, parents and other members of the school community 

give of themselves to foster an academic and nurturing environment 

for their children. 

Last year was truly an extraordinary year of giving at Greensboro Day 

School, and we gratefully acknowledge the generous donors who 

demonstrated their commitment to the school’s mission last year. Through 

charitable gifts and pledges totaling $3,117,054, made between July 1, 

2011 and June 30, 2012, donors supported current operations, improved 

existing facilities, secured funding for a new Middle School building, and 

continued to build permanent endowment funds for the future. 

This report celebrates and recognizes generous giving to Greensboro Day 

School during the 2011-2012 academic year. 

--------------------------------------- 

ANNUAL GIVING FOR CURRENT OPERATIONS 

The Annual Fund First: Then & now Campaign, under the Davis’ leadership, 

far exceeded expectations of our $700,000 goal, with a grand total of 

$818,334 in gifts and pledges. An anonymous donor issued a challenge to 

match dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 for new or increased gifts. The GDS 

community, especially trustees and alumni, enthusiastically responded. In 

fact, while the national trend in pre-college alumni giving declined in 2011 

(according to the VSe Survey) the number of GDS alumni donors and their 

total dollars increased significantly. The total number of donors from all 

constituencies to the Annual Fund was 1,089. Leadership donors, whose 

gifts were $1,000 or more, totaled 275. A new category of leadership 

donors – Sustaining Parents of Alumni – gave generously in gratitude for 

the education their children received at Greensboro Day School. 

The Annual Fund, our most important ongoing fundraising activity, 

provides funds for every aspect of our educational program, including 

salaries, classroom supplies, arts, athletics, and facilities maintenance. 

Another $85,018 in restricted gifts supported student programs and 

faculty professional development. 

--------------------------------------- 

CAPITAL FUNDS FOR FACILITIES 

The Generations Capital Campaign, led by chairs Merrill and Chuck Keeley 

’81 and Melinda and Jim rucker ’82, launched on September 17 with $3 

million in commitments. During the year, another $1.5 million was secured 

bringing the campaign total on June 30 to over $4.5 million: two-thirds of 

our $7 million goal. In April, we were pleased to announce the school’s first 

gift of over $1 million by the Jackie and Steve Bell family. The new Middle 

School will be named in recognition of their extraordinary generosity. 

Throughout the year, we featured generational stories of lead donors 

to the campaign, including the Bell, Keeley, rucker, Jennings and Boney 

38 

ANNUAL REPORT 

families. Through a generous gift made by the 

Klinger family in spring 2012, the upper School 

opened with an elevator to ease navigation of 

our two-story building. In total, capital gifts 

(some received on pledges) and new pledges 

for facilities totaled nearly $2.2 million. 

--------------------------------------- 

ENDOWMENT 

Building a permanent endowment is crucial to the long-term financial 

health of the school and remains a priority. Last year, gifts to the 

endowment totaled $22,650. These gifts, the earnings from which will 

provide a source of income in perpetuity, support faculty professional 

development, financial aid, and student programs. 

--------------------------------------- 

APPReCIATION FOR JOBS WeLL-DONe 

Finally, with admiration and appreciation, the advancement office 

bid farewell to longtime annual fund director Terri Jackson who wore 

many titles during her time at GDS, including Assistant Director of 

Development, Director of Communications, and Director of Annual and 

Corporate Giving, all with a contagious laugh and a fierce loyalty for this 

school. over her 14 years, she raised millions of dollars to support the 

important mission of GDS, and would say she “had a marvelous time 

doing it!” We also supported Alumni Director Kathy Davis’ decision to 

return fulltime to teach upper School math. As a teacher, girls’ basketball 

coach, advisor, and fruit sale maven, whose tenure spans most of the 

school’s 42 years, Kathy has taught the majority of GDS alumni who still 

respond to her call to volunteer or give back to their alma mater. Much 

of the school’s advancement success over the past 14 years is due to 

both Kathy and Terri, and the wonderful volunteers and employees who 

are listed on the last page of this report. In particular, we appreciate the 

leadership of the Davis, Keeley and rucker families, past and current 

Board Chairs Burney Jennings and Fran Tewkesbury, who work tirelessly 

and give generously to this school. 

The following pages list the numerous individuals, corporations and 

foundations that supported Greensboro Day School with gifts and 

pledges during the 2011-2012 school year. every effort has been made 

to ensure the accuracy of this report. However, as with any work of this 

nature, inadvertent errors or omissions may occur. If this has occurred, 

we apologize and ask that you contact the GDS office of Advancement at 

336-288-8590 or email leighmunsey@greensboroday.org. 

Last year, as advancement officers and volunteers were discussing annual 

and capital giving with the GDS community, we asked that you make a 

gift that makes you proud. And, you did. on behalf of the Greensboro 

Day School community, we thank you.
