HEAD’S CORNER
Welcome to the fall edition
of the GDS Magazine!
We’ve had another terrific start of a new school year, and we’re well on our way to
graduating our largest senior class of over 100 students. We are already proud of their
intellectual, athletic and artistic accomplishments during their tenure at GDS, and we’re
excited about what they will accomplish in college and in life.
Over the past year, we have been working with the Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) to
develop an ethical literacy program at GDS. This important component of our character
education program is being strengthened through this partnership and we were so pleased that Pat Bassett, the
immediate past president of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and a consultant to IGE, was
our McLendon Speaker this year. His theme of helping our students to be “smart and good” rang true to all of us
and provided a great community event for the start of our school year.
This fall magazine contains our Annual Report, which once again shows that through the financial support of our
parents, staff, alumni and greater community we are on sound fiscal footing and providing our students what they
need to fulfill our mission of “becoming constructive contributors to the world.”
Each year our faculty members who have been with us for over seven years have the opportunity to apply for a
Brooks Sabbatical. This unique opportunity for professional and personal growth allows a faculty member to explore
new dimensions of his or her work and return to share it with students and colleagues. Please take a moment to
read about Randy Mintz’s adventures over the past summer. I’m sure that you will quickly see the impact of the time
that he took to explore the roots of southern music and how it will enhance his work and teaching.
Many of you have been checking our web cam each day to see the progress taking place on the construction of our
new Middle School. I’m happy to report that we are on schedule and on budget for this exciting project. It’s going
to be thrilling to open this much needed building next summer and welcome 5th – 8th graders into it as we begin
the 2014-15 school year!
Beth Hopkins has been a cornerstone member of our Lower School since 1989. She arrives each morning with a
smile and hug for each of her students. A real professional, she has continued to deepen her knowledge of how
children learn and adds new skills to her teaching each and every year. As you read our Faculty Focus section found
on page 18, I’m sure that you will understand why Beth was chosen as the first person we thought of to kick-off this
new section of our magazine.
I hope that you will enjoy this issue of the GDS Magazine as much as I have in previewing the articles and learning
about all of the incredible opportunities our students and faculty have to learn and grow at Greensboro Day School.
Cheers!

BOARD REPORT
Letter from the Chair
The Board of Trustees returned to work this fall energized by the
exciting changes going on at GDS and looking forward to meeting
new faculty members and reconnecting with old friends.
We kicked off the school year with a meeting and retreat at GDS’s
Westminster Presbyterian Church property, just north of our main
campus. During this afternoon-long meeting, trustees heard
reports from each of the division directors and were introduced
to our new ethical literacy program through a lively participatory
discussion of right-versus-right ethical dilemmas. We commend
Mark Hale and his senior leadership team for choosing this new
program for our students and believe it will enhance habits of
ethical behavior throughout our school.
As construction begins on the new Middle School, the board’s focus
this year is changing from raising money for the capital campaign
to monitoring the construction process. I’m happy to report that,
to date, we remain on schedule and within budget. Mark your
calendars for August 16, 2014, when we expect to dedicate the
new Bell Middle School and officially open our Middle School
doors to the classes of 2019 to 2022 – next year’s 5th through
8th graders.
In addition to keeping tabs on the construction project, this year
the board will be examining campus security, taking a look at
insurance policies and risk management procedures, updating
our bylaws and, as always, supporting the work of the board’s sole
employee – Head of School Mark Hale. We are extremely fortunate
to have an outstanding mix of new and returning committee chairs
to oversee these tasks:
• Pat Burns will once again be working with CFO Pam Hemphill to
guide the Audit Committee through our financial and regulatory
reporting processes. GDS has a history of clean audit reports and
favorable management letters, and this year is no exception.
•J. Scott, in his third term as trustee, ably chairs our Investment
Committee for the third straight year (and is an ex-Finance
Committee chair as well).
•Penny Graves, chair of the Committee on Trustees, begins her
second year of expertly guiding the board through the process
of selecting new trustees, monitoring progress on board and
Head of School goals, and evaluating results.
Fall 2013
•Adeline Talbot leads the newly
reconstituted Advancement Committee,
which was on hiatus for the last two
years while we concentrated on raising
capital funds for our building projects.
She has assembled an outstanding
group of school and community leaders
to assist and consult with Director of
Advancement Anne Hurd in school
fundraising efforts.
• Robert Smith has taken over leadership of the Buildings &
Grounds Committee and will see us through the Middle School
building process and consult throughout the year with the
administration on other capital spending plans.
• We have put attorney and brand new trustee David Brown
right to work as board Treasurer and Finance Committee chair.
Thanks to David for so graciously assuming these important
responsibilities.
In addition to David, we are pleased and honored to welcome
four new trustees – last year’s Annual Fund co-chair, Fran Davis,
PA president Cindy Knowles, community volunteer extraordinaire
and former trustee Ann Lineweaver, and current parent and
former chair of the Greensboro Human Relations Commission,
Wendell Phillips.
I am gratified that so many accomplished, wise, thoughtful (and
busy!) people are willing to commit time and energy to supporting
Greensboro Day School. It is a testament to the excellence of Mark
Hale’s leadership team, and the outstanding faculty they have
assembled, that GDS continues to thrive as the premier educational
institution in our area.
Sincerely,
Fran Tewkesbury, Chair
Greensboro Day School Board of Trustees

Middle School Construction
Paving Way for Campus Quad
In September 2011, with $3 million in commitments, GDS kickedoff the public phase of the capital campaign – the Generations
Campaign – with a stretch goal of $7 million. The campaign name,
Generations, was inspired by the generations of GDS families who
helped start the school and continued to sustain it and prepare
for its future. The campaign launch was celebrated with a kick-off
event on the newly constructed tennis complex, accessed through
the new front entrance.
As of October 2013, over $5.5 million has been committed in gifts
and pledges to the Generations Campaign and the campaign
will continue throughout 2013-2014. Construction is on time
for the Bell Family Middle School to be complete and ready for
classes in August 2014. The old Middle School will be demolished
over summer 2014 and the new quadrangle will take shape in
late summer.
Campaign donors and volunteers will celebrate the end of the
Generations Campaign on Saturday evening, August 16, 2014
and a building dedication and open house is planned for the
following afternoon.
However, there is much left to do. Though the quadrangle
infrastructure of sidewalks, irrigation and lamp posts are designed
and will be in place for school when the new Middle School opens,
details for special quadrangle features such as events areas and
themed gardens will take shape late this fall. Plans for the Andreve
Teaching Garden behind the new Middle School are also underway.
And, let us not forget, that the Middle School, quadrangle
development and front entry are the first of a multi-phase Campus
Master Plan. In October 2007, the Greensboro Day School Board
of Trustees approved a new Campus Master Plan that suggested
$24 million in campus and facilities improvements to guide our
decisions about development over the next generation. The plans
included a new Middle School building, athletic facilities, cafeteria
and dining facilities, additions or renovations to Lower and Upper
schools, and improvements to security, carpool and parking. Quiet
efforts are already underway to raise capital funds for an auxiliary
gymnasium to accommodate all of our athletic teams, some of

“Since we came here, we have been
inspired by teachers, students and parents
giving of themselves to foster an academic
and nurturing environment.”
– Fran Davis, former Annual Fund First Co-Chair
which now practice off campus in the afternoons. Stay tuned for
more about this in the months ahead.
As we enter the final year of the Generations Campaign, the
Greensboro Day School community continues to make the school
a priority in charitable giving, thus maintaining and strengthening
the school’s reputation as this community’s premier collegepreparatory school. Those generous donors are recognized and
appreciated in the Annual Report of Giving in this magazine.
The Annual Fund First Campaign, as always, is GDS’ most
important fundraising effort, providing crucial funds for the
educational program. However, after donors have made their
Annual Fund commitment, we welcome gifts of any amount for
the Generations Campaign. For more information about giving
to the Generations Capital Campaign, please contact Director
of Advancement Anne Hurd, at annehurd@greensboroday.org, or
336-288-8590 ext. 235.

GDS Initiates New Religious Policy
This fall, parents were notified of a comprehensive new religious policy
enacted at Greensboro Day School.
According to Head of School Mark Hale, “We believe in developing
strong interpersonal relationships with our families and partnering with
them to create a community where all students and parents feel heard
and valued.”
“This includes giving everyone the opportunity to express their cultural
and religious beliefs without being disadvantaged or negatively judged,”
he explains. “Rich discussions over the years between Greensboro
Day School and its families and teachers about the diversity of faiths
represented in our community have led us to establish this policy
regarding important religious holidays.”
Honor Musicians
The 5th annual North Carolina Association of Independent School
(NCAIS) Honor Band Clinic was held at the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington October 10 and 11. Students in independent schools across
the state are nominated by band directors to participate in this 2-day
honor band clinic. Students rehearse for approximately 9 hours in two
days and perform a concert for the public.
The following Middle and Upper School students were selected to perform
in this year’s NCAIS Honor Band: Alyssa Altheimer ’15, Shepard Griswold
’15, Matthew McIvor ’14, Linsdsey Cooke ’17, Michael Williams ’17, Sierra
Delk ’18, Brooke Sanders ’19, Carter Anderson ’19, Laura Watson ’19, and
Ayden Hochstein ’18.
The goal of the NCAIS Honor Band is to give students the opportunity
to perform with a large concert band comprised of the most talented
7th-12th grade concert band musicians from NCAIS independent schools
throughout the state. Any 7th-12th grade student enrolled in an NCAIS
independent school during the current school year and who plays a
concert band instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon,
trumpet horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, concert percussion) is eligible
to participate.
Greensboro Day School Policy

Science Gets Real
For 8th grade science teacher, Tim Martin, it all started in
2009 when he was selected as a Polar TREC teacher. Through
the Polar TREC program, he accompanied an international
scientific research expedition to Siberia to participate in the Lake
El’gygytgyn drilling project. From there, his passion for bringing
real-life experiments to his classroom grew.
“One of the greatest challenges of science education in the
middle and secondary levels is to introduce and work with real
world problems,” Martin says. “As an Earth science teacher for
14 years, I have found students most engaged when they are
learning about and addressing real world problems.”
Since 2009, Martin has continued his relationship with Polar TREC
and the scientific research group, and now, through scientists at
the University of Massachusetts and a grant from the National
Science Foundation, he is able to assist teachers around the
country with getting the equipment they need to take their own
core samples and apply their experiments in the classroom. This
research is vital to not only teach students about climate change,
but also collect local data for researchers as well.
Martin conducting a hands-on coring lesson for fellow teachers at
the University of Massachusetts.
In August, Martin led a geoscience teacher training workshop at
the University of Massachusetts to help classroom teachers gain
hands-on laboratory and field experience and insights into the
latest developments in environmental research.
“As I learned through my participation in the Lake El’gygytgyn
drilling project and my interaction with other teachers who have
participated in similar Polar TREC research projects, exposing
highly qualified, creative teachers to research science frequently
translates into creative lessons using basic science concepts to
address real scientific questions,” Martin explains. “This process
is accelerated when several classroom teachers collaborate
together with members of the research community.”
GDS 8th graders learn that
coring into the ground requires
elbow grease.
A GDS learning pond core sample.
Most recently, Martin led his 8th grade students to the Greensboro
Day School learning pond to collect sediment core samples.
These samples will be used throughout the year for geology and
climate lessons.
“Projects such as studying climate proxies in the cores retrieved
from the GDS learning pond and Lake El’gygytgyn have the
potential for students to contribute to the larger scientific process
by analyzing real data that will help further our understanding
of climate change in the high arctic,” Martin explains. “By
participating in this research, climate science will be advanced
and students become more literate in the realm of climate science
and geology.”

Fung Travels to Spain on
Seven Star Award Grant
Upper School Spanish teacher Iraida Fung traveled to Andalucía,
in the southern region of Spain, this summer as the recipient of the
Seven Star Faculty Enrichment Award.
“My interest in this area started when I was studying world history
in elementary school, back in Venezuela,” she says. “I dreamed
of meeting all these different kinds of people, cultures, and
religions Señora Landaeta, my 6th grade teacher, was telling us
about; Christians, Jewish, Muslims, Romans, Africans, and Italians,
converging and holding on to this piece of land.”
When Fung started teaching Spanish literature, she believed
that she would not be able to convey the richness of the subject
without experiencing it first-hand. So last winter, she submitted
a proposal for the Seven Star Award, which provides a summer
sabbatical opportunity for a GDS faculty member, to travel to
Spain to walk in the footsteps of her favorite writers.
“I could have not planned the trip as perfect as it was,” she
exclaims. “The first hotel I stayed at in Seville was the Bécquer,
(as in Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer) one my favorite poets from the
romantic period. On the nightstand there was a copy of his Rima
IV arguing that poetry will exist as long as man can see his eyes
reflected in somebody else’s eyes.”
Each day on her journey, she found
herself surrounded by the history
of the great Spanish writers, like
Garcia Lorca, Spain’s most deeply
appreciated and highly revered poet
and dramatist, and Baroque writer
Góngora, who was appointed senior
clergy member of the cathedral of
Córdoba, which still stands in the
heart of the city.
“When I walked the streets in Córdoba,
I felt transported hundreds of years Sra. Fung in Spain
back in history. The words of so many
poems and stories I have read kept
running through my mind,” Fung says.
“I wish I could continue telling you about all the experiences I had,
but it would take a whole book to do that. For now, I can only tell
you that I will never forget this trip, and I will forever be grateful
to that special GDS family that made it possible for me not only to
travel to Andalusía, but to live it.”
Created by an anonymous gift from a GDS family, the Seven Star
Faculty Enrichment Award provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience
to a teacher who possesses the seven qualities of excellence in
their profession that are valued by their family: loyalty, leadership,
service, excellence, cooperation, honesty and dependability.
McLendon Parent Education
Speaker: Pat Bassett
“Grades are important but not as important as social/emotional intelligence. What can
parents do? Don’t tell your children you just want them to be happy. Instead, tell them
you want them to be good. This way, they don’t feel they have disappointed you when
they have a bad day. Be clear about values. Use teachable moments. Recognize mixed
messages kids hear. What can’t parents change? The pervasiveness of pop culture; parents
can’t insulate their children. Start instilling values in your kids at an early age by telling
stories; all good lessons come from stories.”
– PAT BASSETT, former advisory board member at the Institute for Global Ethics and former board
member of the Council for Spiritual and Ethical Education, addressed parents about the importance
of teaching children how to navigate between right vs. right decisions. His visit, a part of the school’s
McLendon Parent Education Speaker Series, also included time in the classroom with our students to
help them understand that not all decisions are black and white. Read more highlights from his talk on

67 Earn AP Scholar
Designation
Sixty-seven (67) students earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of
their exceptional achievement on AP Exams. Their average score on
AP Exams was a 3.68 out of a possible 5.
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program ® provides
academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous
college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college
credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance
on the AP Exams. About 18 percent of the more than 1.9 million
students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently
high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.
The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based
on students’ performance on AP Exams. At GDS, AP exams were
administered last spring and the following students were recognized
as AP Scholars or higher:

SPORTS REPORT
The fall 2013 Bengal athletic season
brought three conference championship performances (soccer,
tennis, and girls’ cross country) that will be added to our over
130 conference titles. Once again, our athletes showed heart,
determination, and grace under pressure as they represented GDS
with pride.
The varsity boys’ soccer team finished the regular season as the 2013
PACIS conference champions, going 10-0 in conference play. In the
NCISAA state tournament, the Bengals lost to a very good Forsyth
Country Day team in the quarterfinal match. The Bengals were led
by an 11-person senior class, all of whom displayed outstanding
leadership throughout the entire season. This team worked very
hard as a group and achieved great success as a result. The GDS
soccer program will miss each member of this senior class, however
the future is bright as 14 players from this team will return in 2014.
With a perfect 18-0 conference record, the girls’ varsity tennis
team earned their 5th consecutive conference championship. All
six of the starters received All-Conference honors (Ana Bolson ’15,
Angelica Warren ’14, Mariah Warren ’15, Caroline Sherwood ’14,
Clarke Phillips ’18, and Delaney Dalldorf ’15), and Bolson earned
the Conference Player of the Year award. Additionally, we had three
players named to the All-State team (Bolson and the Warren sisters).
Bolson, an international student from Brazil, played at the number
one spot and was undefeated in conference play. Sherwood was
undefeated in conference and non-conference play, and Mariah
Warren has only one loss in the past two years in conference play.
For several years, our girls’ varsity cross country team has dominated
the PACIS conference. This year was no exception as they earned
their 4th consecutive conference title. The Lady Bengals also had
an excellent showing at the state meet finishing 4th place out of
22 teams. Led by junior All-State runner Kaitlyn Lingard ’15, the
girls look to build upon their success next year and continue their
conference dominance. The boys’ cross country team also had a
solid season this fall. While we will lose some senior experience
to graduation, a strong core of younger runners will allow us to be
competitive for years to come.
The varsity field hockey team finished the regular season with a 4-8
record. This was a building year for the team, as we lost some core
players to graduation, but we have some exciting young talent. Our
varsity volleyball program continued to show improvement both as
individuals and as a team throughout the season. The highlight of
the season was a home match against Asheville School where the
team battled to earn a hard-fought, 3-2 victory.
And finally, the varsity girls’ golf team showed consistent
improvement throughout the year. The Lady Bengals finished the
season 3rd in the conference and every player on the team shot
a career best round during the season. The major highlights of
the season included Addy Anderson ’15 making a Par 4 on her
last hole of the last conference match to secure a spot on the AllConference team. During the same match, Taylor Bair ’17 recorded
an impressive birdie, her first in competition, on the 9th hole at
the Oak Hollow Golf Course. With all four players returning next
season, the future of our girls’ golf program looks bright.

1. Our Upper School shined on stage in another Broadway
blockbuster. This year, they tackled the hilarity of The Drowsy
Chaperone, the multiple Tony Award winning musical with a rare
combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent.
2. The Drowsy Chaperone is really a musical within a play.
It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan (Michael
Jacobson ’16) plays his favorite cast album on his turntable,
and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room.
3. Wannabe Follies star Kitty (Caroline Attayek ’15) brings her
Yankee spunk front and center in a desperate attempt to be the
leading lady. 4. Pastry gangsters (Kayla Reardon ’15 and Ace
Ellsweig ’17) know there’s “muffin” Feldzieg (Charles Mayer
’15) can do to save his Follies show if his leading lady Van de
Graaf gets married. 5. What do you do for cold feet? Dance of
course. That’s just what Martin (Thompson) and his best man,
George (David Chung ’16) do to deal with pre-wedding jitters.
6. It’s the era of prohibition and code name ‘iced water’ might
just be straight vodka. Mrs. Tottendale (Patti Hazlett ’14) just
can’t seem to convince her ‘underling’ (Walker Roe ’14) that
she really just wants water. 7. Janet Van de Graaf (Karson
Bankhead ’14) is a 1920s Follies star not quite prepared to
give up the spotlight when she marries Robert Martin (Grayson
Thompson ’14). 8. Van de Graaf (Bankhead) does her best to
convince the paparazzi that she no longer craves the spotlight.

September, thanks to our US One Acts performers who tackled
the very difficult genre of Improv. Pictured here: Michael
Jacobson ’16, Caroline Attayek ’15, and Mary Glaser ’14.
3. 6th graders spent four fabulous days in nature at Camp Tekoa.
From building nature trails to canoeing (Andee Richardson and
Caroline Bostian), and reenacting the underground railroad to
swimming, it was an action-packed way to team-build and learn.
4. A flock of flamingos (Renee Anderson, Rachel Hayes and
Claire Burns) made an appearance during the Class of 2014’s
Senior Dress-Up Parade. 5. Our 8th graders, including Jaden
Nesbitt, spent a day at Hanging Rock State Park this fall. From
hiking to map reading, from creative writing to wading in the
waterfalls, they had a great opportunity to experience outdoor
education. 6. Our Student Diversity Club hosted their first
International Food Festival in September. Students, including
juniors Tannie Wang and Shan Wang, brought food from
Pakistan, South Africa, Italy, Vietnam, China, Jamaica, Brazil,
Poland, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Ireland and more. Many
of our international students shared authentic dishes, and their
host families joined in. The flavors and experiences created
wonderful conversations around the tables.

1. US students, including seniors Zax Tate and Alexa
Schleien, in our new engineering course completed their
first design challenge, to build a 2-meter tower out of
newspaper. Real-life engineering constraints were modeled:
the towers had to withstand a sideways wind, have a limited
footprint on the ground, and had to be as lightweight as
possible. The winner was 60 grams in mass. 2. Members
of our EAST Club (Easing Academic and Social Transitions)
taught dance lessons, including Shag and Salsa, during
US lunch periods this fall. 3. Henry Johnson ’26 is holding
Buddy Bird while Emory Croom ’26 and Nayehlee Khan
’26 wait in anticipation. During a science lab on the sense
of touch, kindergartners explored how several things felt
in their hands. The final experience was having students
describe what they felt as Buddy stepped into their hands.
4. 1st graders enjoyed a hands-on, or nose-on in the case of
Cameron Hanley, visit to the butterfly farm as they learned
about caterpillars and butterflies. 5. Our seniors enjoyed
meeting their JK/K buddies for the first time during our
opening of school ceremony in August. Pictured here:
Caroline Spurr ’14, Logan Phillips ’26 and Rachel Schomp
’14. 6. 7th graders spent a day at the National Whitewater
Center rafting, wall climbing, zip lining, and biking. Team
building to the max! 7. Our first Family Fun Night was
an evening of music, food, sports and community. And,
from the looks of 3rd graders Carleigh Hanbury and Kate
Wingate, a great time was had by all! 8. Experiencing nature
plays a big role in the curriculum in our Middle School. Our
6th graders learned this first-hand when they made their
inaugural trip to Mr. Head’s farm. They will continue to visit
the farm throughout the year to learn how the land, animals
and crops change from season to season. Pictured here:

Beth Hopkins:
1st Grade Teacher
By Cristi Phillips Driver ’86
First grade teacher, Beth Hopkins, is known for the big bear hugs that she freely
gives out to her students, both past and present.
As a teacher in the Lower School for the past 25 years, Hopkins is also known for her
innovative use of the Orton-Gillingham Responsive Classroom approach, which she has
been practicing in the classroom for the past four years.
Orton-Gillingham is a phonics-based program for reading instruction that focuses on
distinguishing short and long vowels. Unlike some more structured reading programs, the
Orton-Gillingham Approach allows for flexibility based on each child’s individual needs.
Hopkins says that the goal of the program is that by the time students are in 2nd or 3rd
grade, they will have all the tools they need to decode any multi-syllable word. Hopkins
was first certified in Orton-Gillingham two years ago and then attended a more intensive
training last year in Winston-Salem.
“This style of teaching is very tactile,” explains
Hopkins. “It really gets the child’s brain
engaged and incorporates writing, reading
and spelling. With this program, there
is no memorizing — instead, students
learn to decode words, which builds
automaticity.”
When she’s not teaching or assisting with
school musicals, Hopkins can be found on
her family’s farm in Summerfield. Her current
menagerie of animals consists of 12 goats, 22
alpacas, three turkeys, six dogs, and a host of
chickens. Never one to turn away an animal in
need of a home, she recently took in a cat and
two kittens to add to the mix.
“I tell people to always adopt animals. It’s so
important to adopt because there are so many
animals that need homes,” Hopkins said.

Thanks to the generosity of the Brooks Sabbatical,
I enjoyed three fabulous trips, more musical experiences
and adventures than I ever imagined, and a multitude
of answers and new insights into “The Roots of American
Music.” As a result of this trip, my fascination with all
music has taken a much more focused interest in the
impact that historical events have taken on musical styles
and musicians.
My proposal was to travel to the cities, venues, clubs,
museums, concert halls, historic sites, and instrument builders
in the cities that have encouraged and inspired musicians to
create the music we consider American. The United States is
blessed with a vast array of styles, sounds, and instruments
as varied as the ethnic cultures themselves.

I split the Sabbatical into three
separate journeys and drove a total
of 5,000 miles through 19 states,
and visited over 30 cities, towns,
campgrounds, plantations, and
graveyards. I visited 22 museums,
listened to over 25 live music shows
and performances, and have eaten at far
too many really good restaurants.
This is the
3,500 mile route
of the RV trip
Randy took
this summer.
My Sabbatical actually began last spring. During Spring
Break 2013, my wife, Janet, and I drove to New York and
discovered that the jazz scene is still alive and well. Because
of the improvisational nature of jazz, it continues to evolve

nightly with packed houses standing in line to enjoy it. We sought
out a variety of museums and jazz clubs where we heard dozens of
outstanding jazz musicians. I also met up with GDS alumnus, Kevin
McDonald ’06, who is an active jazz musician and teacher in New York.
Kevin was playing with a group from the Manhattan School of Music
and rehearsing for an upcoming performance at the Lincoln Center.
It was inspirational to see Kevin’s success in this very competitive jazz
world, and to be reminded that as teachers we never know where our
students might be headed some day.

In July, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by renting a 25-foot RV that we drove
3,500 miles in a two-and-a-half week journey from North Carolina to
Lake Erie, south to New Orleans and back home again. We drove
from city-to-city in search of live music, museums and landmarks that
drew a much clearer picture of the development of American music.
It seems almost impossible to list all the clubs, museums, historical
sites, graveyards, memorials, restaurants, and landmarks we visited.
We included (to name only a few) the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
the Rock and Soul Museum, Graceland, Sun Studios, Gibson Guitar
Factory, The Delmar Loop in St. Louis, Nashville’s Broadway Street,
Beale Street in Memphis, Rev. Al Green’s church, Congo Square,
the French Quarter and much, much more. We sought out live music
wherever we traveled and became immersed in the world of music.
We even had a personalized “Blues Tour” in the Mississippi Delta by
my good friend Corky Alexander. We followed just a small portion of
the well-documented “Blues Trail.”
For the third part of the Sabbatical, Janet and I were delighted to
return to Puerto Rico where we first met and taught on an Army Base
for 13 years before moving to Greensboro. This was also a chance for
our youngest son, Josh, to see the island he has heard so much about
from his two brothers, James ’03 and Joe ’05. The musical search
continued as we explored the influences of Latin music. Jazz musicians
have long been in love with Latin music and hardly ever play a gig
without it. The music of Puerto Rico and other Latin and Caribbean
cultures are also directly tied to the music and dance of African slaves
who had such a huge impact on American music, particularly jazz.
Puerto Ricans work hard to preserve their own culture and heritage,
especially with regard to music and folkloric dancing.
It seems that every form of American music was born out of cultural
heritage, tradition and regional influences. We tend to be strongly
attracted to music from our own personal heritage. Musicians have
repeatedly appeared on the American music scene with a new sound,
idea, or concept that was born from their own cultural heritage and
was somehow taken to a new level. Seemingly very diverse forms of
music such as Polish, Irish, Italian, and British, have become just as
much American music as that of Elvis Presley and others. New forms
of music will continue to evolve. Also, it is easy to trace the roots of
blues, jazz, rock and roll, rock, pop, beach music and others directly

to the music of the slaves and sharecroppers that sang spirituals, field
hollers and gospel music. The rich musical heritage they brought with
them made a tremendous impact on almost all American music, and
continues to do so even today.
I am enjoying sharing this wealth of knowledge and love of American
music with my students. I frequently play music unfamiliar to the
students and ask them to analyze why they do or don’t like it, and then
explain a little about the history and background of that music.
We were thoroughly immersed in musical culture and history each and
every day of the three trips. We came home exhausted, overwhelmed
and fascinated. The Brooks Sabbatical has truly inspired me in ways I
never expected. I feel like I just got started in this search for American
music and can’t wait to continue the journey.

Positioning
Greensboro Day School as a
Leader in Education
for the 21st Century
By Mark C. Hale, Head of School
For many years
I raced a 30-foot sailboat
on San Francisco Bay. The Bay is known for its rapidly changing
weather conditions, container ships and fast moving currents. Constant
attention to boat traffic, tide, wind and weather was critical to winning
races. Those who lapsed in their awareness of these vital elements,
missing opportunities to adjust and change their course, soon found
themselves at the back of the fleet.
“ I can’t change The key to any successful race is the ability to look ahead and notice
the direction
what is going on, particularly the wind shifts and changing tide lines.

and quickly trimming the sails or tacking the boat, make it possible to

important shifts in teaching and learning strategies, takes research and
preparation. Sustaining a strong enrollment and dynamic educational
program in the midst of strong headwinds takes thoughtful leadership and
a willingness to make changes for the right reasons and at the right time.
23
During the 2009-2010 school year, we undertook a collaborative
strategic planning process that looked to the future for Greensboro
Day School. We involved experts with a variety of talents
(who were knowledgeable about the changing conditions)
from the greater Greensboro business community, and our
entire school community. As a result of this comprehensive
study, in the fall of 2011, the Board of Trustees adopted a
strategic plan that has guided our work over the past two years.
The plan addresses four key areas:
We are fortunate to have a highly capable staff that understands
how to make difficult decisions in regard to finances. Through
careful forecasting and increasing sustainable practices, GDS has
been able to maintain a firm financial foundation while keeping
tuition increases at historically low levels.
2) In an increasingly competitive educational marketplace,
we must help students and families discover why GDS
is their best school choice;
Annually, each division goes through a careful examination
of expenses. The goal is to continue to offer the best possible
experiences for our students and at the same time asking if
there are less costly ways to achieve the same results. While
maintaining the goals and outcomes for each program, this has
led to a change in some activities.
3)In a changing educational landscape marked by skillsbased learning outcomes, a heightened need to create
engagement and collaborative learning opportunities,
the use of technology to enhance learning, and a greater
emphasis on creativity and problem-based learning, we
must become a model for 21st century learning;
The most rapidly rising expense is our employee health care
program. Employee compensation comprises over 70% of
our budget. In order to keep our premium increases at the
lowest possible rate, we have actively engaged in an employee
health program. While this has kept our rate increases as low as
possible, we will continue to see substantial increases due
to federal legislation and claims.
1) In a challenging economic climate, we must continue
to develop as an economically sustainable institution;
4)In a more interactive and connected world, we must educate
our students for cultural literacy and global citizenship.
Greensboro Day School is not exempt from the effects of these
national and local changes. In order to remain an institution
that successfully prepares students for their futures, we cannot
remain complacent as the world around us changes. We must be
prepared to change how we go about engaging our students
in our educational program. This means regularly reviewing
our curriculum, providing additional professional development
opportunities for our faculty, and making certain that we are
providing a welcoming and safe campus that supports our program.
Change will be a constant not only in the world, but at Greensboro
Day School. When the winds shift, we must be prepared to
set our sails so that we can take advantage of them and advance
our students to their destinations. For, as the old saying goes,
“Change is constant, adaptation is optional.”
As we look to the future, we are guided by our Mission
Statement which says: Greensboro Day School develops
the intellectual, ethical and inter-personal foundations
that students will need to be constructive contributors
to the world. Our mission is not only to develop in our
students the intellectual capacity to be successful
in college, but to provide them the skills to make
ethical decisions and understand how effective
inter-personal relationships can help them to
lead successful and fulfilling lives. Utilizing these
strong foundations, we expect them to become
constructive contributors to our world not at some
future time, but today.
The review of our programs over the past two
years has already led to changes, and we anticipate
additional reflection will lead to more changes in the
future. As we enter the third year of our 5-year plan, it’s a
good time to review the progress we have made in the four
key areas of our Strategic Plan.
24
1. Continue to Develop as a
Sustainable Institution
Our new Middle School is being built to LEEDS Gold Standard
and will provide our students and teachers a vastly improved
learning environment with lower operational costs than the old
building. Additional insulation and higher efficiency heating and
cooling systems along with computerized monitoring systems
throughout the school have also led to reduced operational costs.
In order to ensure that our students are prepared to move on
to the best colleges and become constructive contributors to
the world, we have been making certain that our teachers are
up-to-date in providing the best teaching and curriculum. GDS
has a strong history of professional educators who are dedicated
to improving their practice. Dynamic teaching that engages our
students will continue to be critical as we expand our curricular
offerings. In moving forward, we will continue to provide
professional development opportunities that are increasingly
focused on improving student outcomes and
keeping each faculty member current
in his or her area of expertise.
As we approach our 50th year
anniversary (2020), more of
our long-time teachers are
retiring. As they do, we
are actively searching
for teachers who are
knowledgeable in their
subject areas, actively
growing as professionals
and prepared to engage
w i t h t h e i r p e e r s and
administrators to improve
the student experience at
GDS. These teachers will be
the next generation of faculty
members who will find long
and fulfilling careers at GDS.
GDS Magazine
Although economists say that the recession is over, families
in the Triad continue to feel the effects of lower economic
activity. Ten years ago Greensboro was corporate headquarters
for six Fortune 500 companies; today, only one remains
headquartered here. The ability of local families to afford
a GDS education has never been more challenging. While,
this has led to a reduction in applications, particularly at
the kindergarten level, we have recently seen an increase in
enrollment at some other levels. Young families getting started
are more strongly affected by a weak economy than those
families who are more firmly established. This phenomenon is
not unique to Greensboro, but true across the Triad and in many
parts of the country. We have increased our financial assistance
to now include over 22% of our families, to minimize financial
barriers for families who want to send their children to GDS.
Even though GDS families are making a very significant long-term
financial commitment to provide their children an independent
school education, most families continue to make charitable
gifts to nonprofits that they feel contribute to a better life in
our community. This support provides over 5% of our annual
income and makes it possible to provide the curricular and
extra-curricular offerings that make our school the leading PK-12
academic institution in the region.
Since GDS does not receive any outside government or support
from religious organizations, our financial sustainability depends
upon the commitment of our families to make GDS one of their
top priorities for charitable support. Consistent with PK-12
independent schools nationally, the vast majority of charitable
support comes from current families, and we will continue to
encourage families to support the GDS Annual Fund and capital
campaigns at a level that makes financial sense for their family.
We are continuing to improve our social media reach and
video marketing programs to tell the GDS story in greater
breadth and depth.
GDS has always been a school that knows how important
relationships are in the healthy growth and development of our
students. The foundations of our community reside in the Four
Respects inculcated in our Lower School and reach up to the
Honor Code in the Middle and Upper School programs. Respect
and honor form two core values that we work to develop in our
students from the moment they arrive on campus. It can be seen
in the character our students display on the athletic fields and
courts through to the plays, orchestras, clubs and community
service opportunities in which all of our students engage. We
are proud of the warmth and generosity that our students so
regularly display.
However, there is additional work that can be done to strengthen
our students’ dedication to our core values. The next two years
will see a school-wide commitment to learning more about ethical
decision-making through our collaboration with the Institute for
Global Ethics. We will also be strengthening our student leadership
programs by providing them with more direct help in learning to
be leaders.
We will continue to find ways to strengthen the adult partnerships
necessary to support learning and growth in our students by
encouraging a warm and inviting community to all of our families.
Inclusive programs and events that bring our parents together,
whether school or volunteer-led, will be encouraged and
promoted. While we cannot meet all the needs of each member
of our community, we want to ensure that each member has a
place to be heard and respected. To this end, greater clarity will be
provided to the community regarding the respectful recognition
of all religious holidays, cultural and faith beliefs.
2. Tell the GDS Story
We have taken steps in our Office of Admission and Enrollment
to ensure that GDS can be a choice for our young families. Last
year, we inaugurated our Bitty Bengals program for 4-yearolds. We also revised and strengthened many of our outreach
programs and added staff to focus directly on the children of our
alumni as well as younger applicants from across our community.
In 2011, we went through an extensive process of interviews and
focus groups that confirmed the value of a GDS education. Out
of this work, the Parent Ambassador Council was established.
This group of dedicated parents is reaching out to the larger
Greensboro community and inward to our own families to tell the
GDS story. Our Board of Visitors, an advocacy group comprised
of former GDS parents and business leaders, continue to be
great ambassadors in the community.
We are providing expert speakers to our community’s preschools
and parent groups. Our administrators and faculty members
are presenting talks and workshops on topics ranging from
child development to good parenting practices through our
Educational Experts Program. And, we are providing continuing
educational classes to preschool teachers.
Fall 2013
3. Become a Model for 21st
Century Learning
As rapid technological changes propel us more quickly forward
and change the entire nature of work, we are compelled to
carefully review our curricular offerings and closely examine
our pedagogical practices so that our students will be successful
in their future jobs and lives.
In a world awash with change, it should come as no surprise that
Greensboro Day School must move with the times. Over the past
decade the nature of education has begun to rapidly change
through on-line classes, blended classroom lear ning,
“flipped classrooms,” and such things as MOOCs – Massive
Open Online Courses.
Locally, the economy and more private, charter and early college
schools have become available. In response we have added over
20 on-line classes and are exploring other ways of delivering our
educational program.
This year has seen the addition of more elective classes in our
Upper School program, and next year will find the 5th grade
25
moving into the Middle School. The Lower School is considering
the addition of a 3-year-old program and has already initiated
an iPad program, refined its use of Differentiated Instruction
practices, increased its social development program and is
working to add a Design Thinking program, student clubs
and more outdoor education programs. The Upper School is
exploring a schedule change next year, and Mandarin Chinese
will soon be added as a language study option.
We know that the healthy social development of our students
will be increasingly important as our world grows smaller. They
will need to know more about who they are and what they
value, have strong inter-personal skills and the ability to make
ethical decisions. We have approached this from several fronts:
a stronger Lower and Middle School social and individual
development program, and additional advising time in the
Upper School.
This year, we have moved to a new Dean System in the
Upper School. This system will allow our Deans, who are
also the college counselors, to get to know the students in
their Houses as freshmen and work with them through the
college application and graduation process. The Deans are
also responsible for overseeing the student life elements of
the Upper School program. This includes all student activities.
The House system has already proved effective in increasing
the positive introduction of our freshmen to Upper School life.
systems that we use at GDS, and how we can work together
to support the learning and growth of our students. As our
recent McLendon Speaker for Faculty and Parent Education,
Pat Bassett said: “Together we are all about raising children
who are smart and good. We know that a strong, positive
relationship between home and school provides the best
possible foundation for student growth and development.”
We expect our parents to communicate their concerns in
reasonable ways and that we will listen and engage as partners
in furthering each child’s social and academic growth.
4. Educate for Cultural Literacy
and Global Citizenship
As we are all experiencing, the world is becoming a smaller
and smaller community. Increasing the diversity of our student
body, faculty and staff will provide our students opportunities
to learn from an early age about the thoughts and beliefs
of a wider variety of people. We believe that this, along with a
curriculum that explores how people live, socially interact and
work in other regions and countries, will be of tremendous value.
As many authors have said, “IQ may get you the job, but
EQ will get you promoted.” Emotional Intelligence (EQ),
which allows us to monitor our own and others’ feelings
and emotions, allows us to use this information to guide our
thinking and action. Through our Ethical Literacy program and
character development programs, we are helping our students
to increase their EQ ability.
Our faculty are being trained through readings and through
such workshops as the Other Voices Program offered by our
Chamber of Commerce, to increase their awareness and
sensitivity toward others. They are also provided opportunities
to visit other countries and regions of our country through our
Brooks’ Sabbatical Program and Parents’ Association grants.
We will continue to hire faculty members who will not only
bring great teaching to our students, but who can provide
sensitivity to other points of view.
We want our students to engage in activities that lead to a
greater development of connection between their classmates,
teachers and all of the students in the Upper School. Each year
should be a year of celebration. Celebration of the unique
talents of each student and of the school that has supported
each student’s growth and development throughout their
careers at GDS will continue to be a hallmark of a GDS education.
We will continue to provide our parents with multiple
opportunities for Parent Education in order to learn more
about the raising of children, the educational programs and

It is our responsibility to provide both a strong foundation for
our students and the ability to adapt to new expectations and
opportunities. Sometimes, change will come about gradually,
through “ooching” or the piloting of programs before full
implementation. We know that we must on occasion try out
something new to see how well it will work before adopting
it. And, at times, unexpected opportunities will arise that we
believe we need to embrace and take advantage of in a short
amount of time.
When the winds of change blow, it is often best to readjust our
sails and take advantage of the opportunities they provide. We
want to do the best job that we can to anticipate changes and
to move with them, as long as we believe they will benefit our
students. And, while change can feel disruptive in the
short term, from my experience it can lead to improved
performance in the future.

“The Greatest Game Ever Played”
If you were fortunate enough to go through the GDS Middle School
then you know what I am talking about. The best sport that you
participated in was not basketball or soccer. No, this sport was
played on Monday and Friday at lunch. That’s right, I am talking
about BATTLEBALL!!
You arrive in the Middle School and all of a sudden there is a
game where you can actually throw balls at each other. It was a
sport where everyone could find an area of expertise. Whether
you used strength, accuracy, stealth, courage, or guile, or just liked
to showboat, there was a place for you on the Battleball Court.
Battleball has been played for 20 years at GDS and remains one of
the best memory makers for GDS Middle Schoolers. I hope to see
many of you old players at the Alumni Battleball and BBQ event on
Saturday, November 30 at 11:00 a.m., and let’s relive some old times.

ALUMNI NEWS
Change…for the Better
The world as we know it is constantly changing. Everywhere we
look, change is imminent. While many of us beg to hold on to the
things we know and love – the traditions, the timeless pieces we
never think should change – we all eventually realize that some
things can and must change over time. As we continue to strive
to offer the best education possible at GDS, we must adapt to
the ever rapidly-changing environment. This year, changes in the
Upper School included implementation of a new Dean System to
more closely counsel our students throughout their US years and
guide them in the search for the right college selection. A new
Middle School is in the midst of being built and upon completion,
the 5th grade will move into this division. Our original Upper
School, and most recently the Middle School building, will be
demolished next summer, and a new quadrangle, where students
will gather in the heart of the campus, will take shape.
Our beloved teachers, some of whom have been here between 30
and 40 years, are retiring. This year alone, we had a record number
of eight faculty and staff members retiring from the classroom,
with others to follow in the near future. We work with each of these
teachers in celebrating their dedication to GDS and invite alumni
to join in this celebration with us. As teachers leave, we encourage
them to join in our Bengals Friends Network, an active group of
former and retired teachers who volunteer on campus and whom
we invite to connect with you at alumni events. They enjoy seeing
you as much as you enjoy seeing them. We are encouraging more
to become active in our alumni social media.
While some people easily adapt to change, others may not accept
change so easily. Even as changes in personnel occur, GDS strives
to be an educational leader and remain strong, vibrant, and
poised to move forward; we hope that forward movement has
your support.
everything he saw and was very excited
about the direction of the school. He
was amazed at the technology and the
things our students are doing during
their time at GDS. I invite you to visit
the school and see these amazing
things for yourself!
I pledge to hold not only myself, but
the Greensboro Day School Alumni
Association to a higher standard of
transparency and to communicate with
our alumni to the best of our ability. If you hear something about
GDS that startles, puzzles or concerns you, get in touch with me or
our Alumni Board President, Grier Booker Richards ’97, and let’s
talk. Change is not easy for those who have been associated with
the school for so long. Often, we are the ones who are impacted
the most.
I know that as an alumnus/a, you take pride in and care about GDS
just as much as I do, and together, we are making a difference. We
would not be where we are today without our alumni who have
expressed their gratitude and love for the school by contributing
their time and gifts. You are important to the foundation of
this school, and you have the opportunity to make GDS better,
whether you serve on the alumni board, as a class agent or reunion
chair, or support the Annual Fund First campaign. There are many
opportunities for you to stay involved!
Our mission at Greensboro Day School is to develop the
intellectual, ethical, and interpersonal foundations students need
to become constructive contributors to the world. No matter
what change is brought about, our mission stays the same. We
hope that these changes will allow us to better fulfill our mission
for our students.
I am asking you today to be an active part of GDS. Let’s work
together to continue making GDS the very best place, near and
far, to receive an education. Not only do we owe it to our former
teachers and our parents who valued the GDS education enough
to send us here, we owe it to our future students. So do your
part, stay connected with us, so that GDS can provide our current
students with the same amazing opportunities it provided you.
With your support, we can provide opportunities far beyond what
we previously had as students… and isn’t that we strive for?

the power to enforce retribution and the desire to seek revenge.
With its mixture of politics, literature, law, and film, this lively

Dr. Norman Sharpless ’84 Appointed Director
of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
The news of Norman “Ned” Sharpless’, MD ’84 appointment
as Director of the University of North Carolina Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center, was no surprise to those at
GDS who know him. Sharpless was a member of the National
Honor Society, the Math Club, Student Council Vice President,
a Morehead Scholar and the 2011 GDS Distinguished Alumni
Award Winner. He also co-wrote the school’s first honor code.
It was only natural for him to become a leader in academia
and research.
“Sharpless is a star in the world of
oncology,” said Marschall Runge, MD,
PhD, Executive Dean of the School of
Medicine. “He is a unique individual
who has made major contributions to
understanding the fundamental aspects
of cancer biology. He is not only a
renowned physician and researcher, but
a great leader, as well.”
Sharpless, MD, succeeds H. Shelton “Shelley” Earp, MD, as
Center Director. “Ned Sharpless is an exceptional choice to
become only the third Director in UNC Lineberger’s history,”
said Dr. William Roper, MD, MPH, Dean of the School of
Medicine, Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs, and CEO of
University of North Carolina Health Care System. “Our Cancer
Center has grown dramatically in multi-disciplinary clinical
capability, research productivity, funding and national stature. As
an outstanding clinician, nationally recognized researcher and
scientific entrepreneur, Ned will lead UNC Lineberger to even
greater accomplishments in its second half century.”
Sharpless is an inventor with 12 patents that form the core
intellectual property for two Research Triangle start-up
companies he co-founded. He established and co-leads two
major UNC Lineberger initiatives: the Mouse Phase 1 unit, which
tests innovative therapies in preclinical models of cancer, and
UNCSeq, which coordinates a large faculty team using massively
parallel sequencing technology for the benefit of individual
patients with cancer.
Sharpless is currently the Wellcome Distinguished Professor of
Cancer Research, professor of medicine and genetics, and UNC
Lineberger’s deputy director. A practicing medical oncologist,
trained at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts
General Hospital, Sharpless leads a well-funded, 20-person
cancer research laboratory. His program uses genetically
engineered mouse models to study cancer and aging. His more
than 100 fundamental and translational scientific articles have
been published in the world’s best journals, among them Cell,
Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, Cancer Cell and
Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Fall
Fall 2013
2012
A recipient of numerous foundation awards, including those from
the Sidney Kimmel, Ellison and Burroughs Wellcome foundations,
Sharpless has advanced the science of biomarkers, aging and
cancer and novel approaches to therapy. He serves as an editor
of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and Aging Cell and has
been named a member of the American Society of Clinical
Investigators, where he was recently elected to that organization’s
governing council.
“He is a creative force with an encyclopedic knowledge of clinical
oncology and a remarkable grasp of the core sciences, cancer

Gets into Some
Spooky Business
The end-product is eerily lifelike in size and features or, as the
catalog description reads, “He’s the stuff nightmares are made of!”
By Cristi Driver ’86
Halloween may be over, but a good, scary prank can be fun
anytime of year – and if you really want to scare the pants off your
friends, you may want to check out the
Scary Peeper, a novelty prank product
developed by GDS alumnus Morgan
Dowtin ’96 that is growing in popularity
around the country.
Dowtin always had a passion and talent
for coming up with new concepts
and products. He also always liked
making people laugh and pranking his
friends. Eventually these two passions
would meld together into a successful
business venture. But for many years,
Dowtin would write down his ideas for
products or inventions but never really
follow through. After graduating from
Virginia Tech in 2000 with a degree
in Industrial Design, Dowtin moved
back to Greensboro and worked in his
family’s real estate business for several
years helping manage properties. But
the desire to create was always in the
back of his mind.
In January 2013, Dowtin took his prototype of the Scary Peeper
to the Halloween and Party Expo in Houston, one of the largest
tradeshows for the Halloween, party and costume industry. A
representative from Grandin Road, a direct marketer of indoor,
outdoor and holiday décor, was very interested in buying a small
order of 1,000 of the Scary Peeper. At this point, Dowtin did not
even have any manufacturing lined up, but the representative from
Grandin Road walked him through the process to get the product in
time for this year’s Halloween season.
“Five days after the Scary Peeper went
up on Grandin Road’s website in early
August, a buyer from the company
called wanting to double their original
order since sales were exceeding
expectations,” Dowtin said. “Needless
to say, I was thrilled but had to scramble
to get enough product made in time
for this year’s Halloween season.”
Scary Peeper
The Scary Peeper sold out before
Halloween this year on Grandin Road’s
website. The popularity of the Scary
Peeper has grown and the product
is now also sold in several regional
Halloween & More retail stores as well
as on Funslurp.com and vampfangs.

Taking an idea from concept to completion is no easy task. Dowtin
began searching for someone who could help him develop a
prototype of the mask and finally found an artist in California who
sculpted a mold based on his visions for the Scary Peeper.

‘PatientsWithPower’
by Caroline Brown ’10
Some applications do
nothing more than
suggest what song
you are in the mood to
listen to. One alumnus
created an app to aid
those “caught in the
headlights” of breast
cancer treatment plans.
Bill Guthrie ’76 never
had experience in
The Guthrie Family: Kellan, Bill ’76,
the medical world.
Susan, and Dalton.
However in 2008, his
wife was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. Sifting through
treatment options was overwhelming enough without the emotional
attachment that comes when tied to a loved one.
“When someone is newly diagnosed, they really have no sense
of orientation,” said Guthrie, who also lost his father to cancer.
“We determined it was going to be very important to address the
specifics of the type of disease with the diagnostic information. It’d
be some kind of facilitation for patients to actually learn beyond just
our application.”
Using his lifelong career in technology in the Silicon Valley, Guthrie
created PatientsWithPower, an app that helps newly diagnosed
breast cancer patients quickly learn about their disease and select
a treatment plan.
“I have a friend who planted this idea in my mind about
PatientsWithPower opportunity,” Guthrie said. “He had lost his wife
to breast cancer about eight years prior, and had kind of been my
support for the research and information we were sifting through.
He prompted me, ‘You learned so much about breast cancer, and
with your background in technology, why not try and do something
with that combination?’”
The timing was just right. Guthrie was in the midst of transitioning
from Numetrics Management System, a computer software company
that he co-founded and directed since 1995. In December 2010, the
idea of PatientsWithPower slowly proceeded. Through connections
from previous jobs, Guthrie hired a small development team in
Pakistan in the fall of 2011. By May of 2012, the prototype was ready
for demonstrations.
“Surgeons, nurses, survivors, and some newly diagnosed patients
got a really good feel for where the opportunity was and the need
for the product. We have been working on it since,” Guthrie said.
Guthrie added a business partner to the PatientsWithPower endeavor
in January. Gloria Webster, who Guthrie has known since age 9,
attended Harvard Kennedy School of Government, which is where
the two reconnected — Guthrie subleased Webster’s apartment.
The app follows National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)
guidelines for breast cancer, consolidating 100-plus pages of
documents into a seamless, easy to navigate app. It also has an
informal partnership with New York Presbyterian Hospital, one of the
largest and most comprehensive hospitals in the world.

Fall 2013
“With them [NY Presbyterian Hospital], we are jointly developing
a module for our application aimed at cancer survivors,” Guthrie
said. “It’s difficult in larger hospitals to introduce new applications,
because they are large enterprises with an entrenched IT staff. We
have an opportunity to create a very specific and very valuable future
for a hospital’s benefit.”
Additionally, PatientsWithPower recently acquired National Cancer
Institute (NCI) accreditation, which was no easy feat according to
Guthrie. They hope to eventually have it integrated in hospitals’
systems around the country.
Guthrie was a member of the second graduating class at GDS. His
family moved from Winston-Salem to Greensboro in Middle School,
and he was a Bengal grades 8-12. After graduating from GDS,
Guthrie attended UNC-Chapel Hill for two years before transferring
to NC State for its engineering program.
“I ended up spending three years at NC State, because in the
process of transferring over there and taking summer school courses
to catch up, I found I was going to be graduating early,” he said. “I
decided I would pursue two engineering degrees — in electrical and
mechanical engineering.”
Guthrie earned an MBA degree in 1988 from Harvard, then moved
to California to help co-found a start-up company, Polylithics, Inc.,
which happened to originate from North Carolina. “That was a
connection through a Greensboro Day classmate, Andy Grubbs ’75.
He was in the first graduating class, and he had incubated and started
this technology company doing advance packaging for electronics,”
Guthrie said. “They had actually done some prototyping work at NC
State in the same building I had taken classes five years prior. So that
was a very interesting small world connection.”
From engineering, business, technology and now healthcare, Guthrie
recognizes the challenges there can be in jumping around different
careers. “To be able to make those kinds of career transitions,
you have to be prepared and experienced in learning. Learning is
a lifelong affair. I think GDS was instrumental in helping prepare
students for college and the remainder of their careers and lives, as
continual learners,” Guthrie said.
Guthrie views PatientsWithPower as a double bottom line opportunity.
“It’s a phrase often used in these kinds of areas. It’s an opportunity
to build a successful profitable business, that’s one bottom line on
a financial spreadsheet. The other bottom line is social value in the
contribution we are trying to make — the returns that are generated
for doing something helpful and useful for other people.”
PatientsWithPower is still in Beta testing, however it is accessible to
anyone who would like to test it. Those interested can contact him
for a free access code. Guthrie anticipates expanding the concept
to lung cancer once the breast cancer app is off the ground, then
potentially to even more forms of cancer.
“Know that people can accomplish what they put their minds to,”
Guthrie said. “In order to do that, it takes a lot of good preparation
and good skills, and a lot of dedication. So pursue your dreams.”

to Lake Brandt Road. On April 26, a ceremonial groundbreaking
on Grandparents Day included a surprise gift and challenge from
grandfather (and building namesake) Steve Bell that inspired another

Annual Giving for Current Operations
Annual Fund First: Then & Now Campaign, under the second year
of leadership by Fran and Bert Davis
(parents of Sandra ’17, Julia ’19, Frances

total of $664,318 in gifts and pledges
in unrestricted support for operations.
The Davis’ unprecedented two years of
annual fund leadership was crucial to
the success of the concurrent two-year
public phase of the capital campaign.
The Annual Fund First is our most
important ongoing fundraising activity, Fran and Bert Davis
providing funds for every aspect of
our educational program, including salaries,
classroom supplies, arts and athletics programs,
and facilities maintenance and operations. The
Davises helped welcome new Director of Annual
Giving Emily Thompson who brought us her
energy, fresh perspective and 15 years (including
her years in college) of annual fund experience.
Another $161,468 in restricted gifts supported
financial aid, academic, extracurricular, and
administrative programs, and professional
development.

Capital Funds for Facilities

Growing endowment continues to be a crucial element of our financial
plan for the future and our permanent funds totaled $8,756,173 at the
end of the 2012-13 fiscal year. Gifts to endowment in 2012-2013 totaled
$36,874 for academic programs, financial aid, faculty professional
development, and athletic awards and programs. A Board of Trustees
Investment Committee sets and monitors performance benchmarks of
our endowment funds, managed and invested by The Common Fund
(www.commonfund.org). The endowment funds are invested in a welldiversified asset mix, which includes equity and debt securities, that is
intended to result in a consistent inflation-protected rate of return that
has sufficient liquidity to make an annual distribution of 4.5% while
growing the funds over time. Our spending policy is based upon a
3-year rolling average. In all cases, we carefully follow the donors’
intended purposes of the fund.

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

and see Planned Giving
under Support GDS,

Director of Advancement,
