Dear Lamplighter Community,
Last month after the incredible Carnival –
Under the Big Top, I was reminded of the
lyrics from Rent: “Five hundred twenty-five
thousand six hundred minutes….How do
you measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets,
in midnights, in cups of coffee…how do you
measure a year?”
We began the fall season at Lamplighter just
as the lyrics to the popular song brilliantly
express…with lots of laughter, smiles, hard
work, and deep respect for the school of
which we are so fond. A special thank you
to Carmen Yung, Brenna Lambert, Stefanie
Nielson and members of their committees for
organizing an event that will be remembered
for many years to come; reunions and
gatherings that include alums, parents, and
grandparents connect us and help to shape
childhood and arguably adulthood.
Many will remember that in 2012, the school
community participated in developing
the five­­-year Strategic Plan. Surveys were
taken and meetings were held as we worked
together to plan for the future. The entire
document (available on the website) set a
very high bar for continuing to build and
sustain the Lamplighter environment both
academically and in the physical space or
infrastructure. Our planning over the last few
years has been targeted and intentional. In
May, the Board of Trustees voted to move
forward on a Campaign that will be centered
on People, Place, and Program.
In the area of people, our goal is to ensure
that we continue to have the strongest
faculty with access to the best professional
development possible in order to bring new
knowledge to our students. Our teachers are

exciting to envision. And, finding a location
for teaching Early Childhood Spanish is
certainly an aspiration that we endorse.
Over the next few months we will further
crystalize the vision, but be assured that all
of these efforts are focused on enhancing
the Lamplighter experience for our students
now and in the future.
In the area of programs, we are committed
to the partnerships we are building. The
connections to the Perot Museum of
Nature and Science, SMU, Commit! and
The Dallas Arboretum deepen the student
experience and provide authentic learning.
It is exciting to observe how teaching and
learning are being transformed and how new
opportunities abound as a result of our work
with these important cultural institutions.
Lamplighter is a magical place. We offer a
serious education wrapped in the wonder of
childhood.

Q&A
with the New Board Chair
This interview with Catherine Rose, Lamplighter Board Chair and former parent, was conducted and condensed by LampPost.
LP: What are you most excited about for
Lamplighter in the 2014–15 school year?
CR: Lamplighter is about the people—the
special students, of course, but also the
families, faculty, and leadership who care
deeply about the school’s mission; and it’s
also about the unique program. The energy
around the Lamplighter experience is
palpable around campus—the Carnival was
a huge success and an indication of how
people feel about the school. I’m excited
about the enthusiasm and energy at school
and all the work that the school is doing on
the Strategic Plan.
LP: Has the Board of Trustees set goals for
the 2014–15 school year?
deliberate progress on the Strategic Plan, as
well as the Academic Plan. For instance, one
goal of the plan is to broaden external and
internal awareness about Lamplighter and its
programs. Last year, Dr. Hill and her team
initiated and completed a thorough branding
process which resulted in a new logo, a
refined identity about the school, and a really
terrific new website which I hope all parents
are using! Those successes are just a few
ways we are evaluating progress against the
goals of the plan.
Another goal of the Strategic Plan ensures
that Lamplighter’s facilities deliver on the
plan’s programmatic goals–as well as the
mission. Toward that goal, the Board of
Trustees and Dr. Hill have been taking a
hard look at aligning form and function
on campus—all focused on enhancing our
students’ experiences. This fall, the Board
and Dr. Hill are refining the scope and
precise needs of the campus, and we expect
to share specific plans later this school year.
CR: For the past several years, the Board of
Trustees has set annual goals early in each
school year. During our full board training
session in late August, Governance Chair
Sarah Weinberg led a goal-setting exercise in
which all participated. This school year the
Board will focus on four objectives: trustee LP: How often does the Board evaluate the

CR: Dr. Hill and her team of capable staff
and accomplished faculty have been making school year. Each of the Strategic Plan’s
goals and objectives are accompanied by
measureable outcomes and responsibility
is assigned to Dr. Hill or specific members
of her leadership team. Some of the action
items are completed in a single school year,
and other objectives require much longer
timelines to accomplish. It is a tremendous
amount of work, but so valuable for the
school in keeping all efforts focused on the
vision of the plan.
LP: Your children are Lamplighter graduates
and now in middle and high school. Why
did you want to serve as Board Chair–or
why is the Lamplighter Board and School
still important to you?
CR: I wish I had attended Lamplighter!
All of the boys—Will included—attended
Lamplighter, and I’m just so jealous of
their experiences. The school’s mission,
“Dedicated to igniting the potential of each
child, Lamplighter engages children in the
joy of learning through intellectual discovery
in a creative, inclusive, and collaborative
environment,” speaks deeply to me about
the importance of early childhood education
and the need to kindle the wonder in each
child. It is also a specific approach that
fosters interest from within that I believe to
be critical for future success in life. It is such
a pleasure to watch our three Lamplighter
grads—Alex, Charlie, and Jack—as they
grow as students and lifelong learners.

Lamplighter partners with SMU to strengthen the School’s curriculum and best practices
Lamplighter has been fostering a relationship with
Southern Methodist University over the past three
years. Working with the Dean of SMU’s Annette
Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human
Development, Dr. David Chard, Lamplighter is
committed to implementing the current best
practices in the field of education.
on learning which is emblematic of the Lamplighter
experience. Secondly, our faculty has a chance for
professional renewal through rich dialogue with
others in our field. And lastly, the partnership with
SMU has been especially important to ensure that
Lamplighter is offering the very best instructional
practices as we instill a love of learning.”
“The future of innovation in schools rests with
strong partnerships with universities, museums, and
foundations, as this is where much of the new thinking
is initiated,” explained Dr. Joan Hill, Lamplighter’s
Head of School. She believes the partnerships the
School continues to build strengthen the School’s
curriculum and community in multiple ways.
“Firstly, our students have opportunities for hands-
Administration and faculty agree that the Lamplighter
partnership with SMU has been a valuable experience
for teachers and ultimately for students. “At
Lamplighter, we are continuing to improve our
curriculum, enhancing what is good and making it
better, and exploring ways to be innovative in our
approach to educating young children,” said Vicki
Raney, the School’s Assistant Head for Academics.

Strong literacy skill development is a
focus of the Lamplighter curriculum.
In a quest for continual and sustained
improvement, reading and Spanish
teachers have partnered with SMU
faculty to revise lessons to better meet
the needs of Lamplighter students.
“Having rich collaborations with
museums and universities are ways that
our school measures how our academic
program stands up to the latest
research and best practices for teaching
children,” Raney continued.
In recent years, Lamplighter has
completed a thorough examination
of its literacy curriculum, specifically
how the School teaches reading. “We
participate in the best professional
development opportunities available,”
Dr. Hill reported.
Fourth grade teacher Jody Stout
believes Lamplighter’s stated
commitment to engaging and igniting
the spirit of life-long learners is a
mission that extends to the whole
of the community. “Partnering with
SMU’s Simmons School of Education
is one way Lamplighter teachers have
access to progressive research and
programming,” she explained.
Raney added that Lamplighter literacy
teachers are continually making certain
that students attain reading and writing
skills needed to move forward. “Dr.
Diane Gifford and Dr. Stephanie Al
Otaiba guide us through assessments
that are useful,” she said. “They share
the most recent and relevant research
on curriculum and instruction, as well
as new resources that support our
work.” Raney explained that the SMU
partnership “gives us access to experts
like Dr. Al Otaiba, who helped us
better understand the components
of an excellent reading program and
the significance of increased time
spent reading.”
According Dr. Al Otaiba, “The
Lamplighter facilities, faculty, and
leadership team amaze me.” She
described how SMU is excited about
such partnerships with schools. “During
one of my visits, a doctoral student and
I engaged with faculty around the topic
of vocabulary building.” She said the

knowledge level of Lamplighter faculty
was already strong and that they were
open to learning new strategies. “It
was evident that the School’s culture is
innovative and iterative.” She said one of
her colleagues, Dr. Gifford, works with
the faculty’s literacy team. “This year
they are working on writing initiatives,”
she expanded.
Dr. Gifford, a research specialist at
SMU’s School of Education, also meets
regularly with Lamplighter faculty so
they can discuss various aspects of
reading instruction. In turn, Gifford
offers books and articles that support
the School’s literacy curriculum. Gifford
described the partnership as one that
is beneficial for everyone. “I am thrilled
to be able to work with these teachers
and impart what I know about research
to classroom practices. In order for
ALL children to succeed and maximize
their learning potential, there must be a
shared system of responsibility between
researchers and educators.” Gifford
explained that SMU faculty is committed
to bringing evidence-based practices
to the classroom. “The responsiveness
of the teachers and administrators at
Lamplighter to learning about what
works with children is exciting to see.
I am thankful for the opportunity.”
Third grade teacher Becky Logsdon said
the partnership shows how Lamplighter
is committed to implementing the
current best practices in the field of
education. “We’re continually striving
to learn more about how to improve
our instruction and pedagogy.” She said
that Dr. Gifford has brought a wealth of
knowledge. “She suggested assessments,
intervention strategies, lesson ideas,
and ways of organizing our curriculum.”
Logsdon explained that the work with
Gifford “continues to ensure that
our curriculum is both rigorous and
developmentally appropriate.”
Fellow faculty members are also
supportive. Annie Jonas, a second grade
teacher, explained that Lamplighter
faculty meets with Gifford to discuss
reading topics and questions “that are
currently happening in our classrooms.”
She explained that the School’s literacy
teachers appreciate the resources. “From
organizing lesson plans to analyzing
data, we value Dr. Gifford’s guidance and
support of our literacy curriculum.”
Teacher Stout believes regular
workshops and resource exchanges
with Dr. Gifford have provided teachers
“with dynamic opportunities to both
challenge and reinforce our own best
practices,” she said.
CoverStory
“We are certain that our relationship
with SMU strengthens our work each
day and that our collaboration with
professors such as Dr. Gifford reinforces
our commitment to serious education,”
Raney revealed.
Lamplighter is also working with SMU
to improve its foreign language program
with School of Education professor Dr.
Doris Baker. “Keen observations and the
vast experience of Dr. Baker provide us
with insights that strengthen our Spanish
program,” said Jezabel Guadalupe,
Lamplighter’s Lower School Spanish
teacher. “Her connection with a school
in Santiago, Chile, is opening doors to
another world for our students.”
SMU’s Dr. Doris Baker with Lower School
students in their Spanish classroom
Dr. Baker believes the partnership with
Lamplighter has provided “a closer
connection between research and
practice.” She explained that frequently,
the dissemination of research findings
takes longer than expected, and it is
difficult for practitioners to access that
research and implement the findings
in their classrooms. “This gap between
research and practice is particularly
acute when teaching children a second
language,” she explained. “Thus, the
partnership with Lamplighter provides
the opportunity for researchers like me
to share with their Spanish teachers
what we know about teaching children
a second language.” At the same time,
Baker said she also benefits from the
partnership “by learning firsthand what
teachers are struggling with most, and
how the research could be focused
when trying to find answers to the
teachers’ most pressing issues.”
Dr. Baker and Ms. Guadalupe worked
on using content that students will
already be learning in their science
classes to teach words and sentences
in Spanish. “Ms. Guadalupe and I
discussed the fact that when students
are already familiar with the content, it
makes the learning of words in Spanish
less demanding; following the research
indicating that it is difficult for second
language learners to focus on both the
content and the language.” 1
said Baker understands teaching and
language acquisition well; therefore,
“working with her has been not only
rewarding but also engaging.”
She said the life cycle of butterflies is
an example of faculty teaching words
and sentences in Spanish as well as
connecting students to cultural events in
Latin American countries and Spain. “Ms.
Guadalupe and I discussed the idea of
children describing the life cycle of the
Monarch butterflies that migrate to the
state of Michoacán, Mexico, every year,
as well as how the Monarch butterflies
form part of the Day of the Dead
celebration in Mexico.” She explained
how, in this particular case, students
would be learning the vocabulary to
describe the life cycle of the Monarch
butterflies (which they would already
know in English), and at the same
time they would be learning about an
important tradition in Mexico.
Baker suggested that by reducing
the content demands (the content
students have already learned), the
language demands can be increased,
and students can focus on building their
language proficiency.
Assessing the partnership, Raney
suggested that “most schools do not
have access to such professionals.”
She is encouraged that Lamplighter
faculty understands “what a privilege it
is to have these professors just a quick
drive, phone call, or an email away.”
Dr. Al Otaiba concurred, “Our College
of Education team enjoys working in
partnership with Lamplighter teachers.
There are tremendous reciprocal
benefits and we hope that this may also
lead to some research initiatives.”
Other ideas Baker and Guadalupe
discussed to enhance Spanish language
instruction include building student
vocabulary “with simple but engaging
games and activities that can help
students read and write books in
Spanish,” described Baker. “I look
forward to the continued collaboration
with Lamplighter and supporting their
efforts to teach children Spanish, the
second most widely spoken language
in the world,” she smiled.
Guadalupe agreed and said the
collaboration with Dr. Baker has been
particularly beneficial for the School’s
Spanish program. “Professor Baker has
extensive experience with assessment
tools and the developing of language
as well as reading programs.” She
Baker, who was born in Brazil, grew
up in Colombia and Mexico. The
highly credentialed professor has also
provided professional development and
consultation to parents, teachers, and
researchers in Chile, Argentina, Mexico,
and Spain.
Next on tap is expanding the partnership
to include the School’s early childhood
division. Judith Mullens, director of the
EC program at Lamplighter, said she
is “looking forward to professional
development opportunities” with
SMU professors of Early Childhood
Development and Education. Stay tuned
for more about this ever-developing
“higher education” partnership.

Romancing Romania
By Jezabel Guadalupe, Lamplighter Spanish teacher
This summer I had the extraordinary
opportunity of exploring and photographing
some parts of a special country called
Romania in southeastern Europe. Being able
to explore and photograph ancient fortified
churches, wooden churches, markets,
cemeteries, artisans, and private houses, as
well as its beautiful people was a true delight.
My first stop was in the region of
Maramures, one of the farthest regions
of the European Union. Villages in the
mesmerizing Maramures region where
people preserve old ways of life seem to
be untouched by modern times. Shepherds,
horse-drawn carts, unspoiled large pasture
fields, hens clucking, large wood-carved
gates, wood barns, and dirt roads are
simply the norm in this breathtaking region.
The second destination on my trip was
the Transylvania region in central Romania.
This region is home to well-preserved
medieval Saxon towns such as Sighisoara
and fortified churches such as the 14th
century one in Biertan. Transylvania’s large
towns in the summer are busy with locals
and tourists, but easy to navigate on its
cobbled streets. Small villages in the region
are quiet throughout the day, but also full
of excitement and charm.
Last on my visit was the capital, Bucharest.
Bucharest is the largest city in the country
and also its cultural, industrial, and financial
center. It is modern, old, accessible, and
safe. An important element about the city
is that landmarks appear to be always close
in distance. You will notice people walking

everywhere. Historical and Communist-era
architecture surrounds you. Coffee shops,
bookstores, churches, and museums are
available to you on almost every street of
the centru (Romanian for town center).
Bucharest is also home to the largest
civil structure, named the People’s Palace,
an impressive multi-purpose building
constructed during the Communist era.
Romania is a country of contrasts,
rural and modern. It is a place that
resembles a fairy tale, a place worth
visiting, photographing, and enjoying.
After exploring this unique and inspiring
country, I felt extremely fortunate and
accomplished: fortunate for having visited
this wonderful place and accomplished
for being able to capture it with pictures.
I am currently working to complete a
photographic essay of my experience, all
thanks to the Mattingly fund!
Who knew that being awarded the Pat
Mattingly Fund three years ago would
have changed my life? It was 2011 when
I was given the grant to attend a global
Habitat for Humanity build in Fiji, and my
view of the world expanded exponentially.
At the end of this summer, I returned
from Portugal where I had completed my
third Global Village Habitat for Humanity
build. I was there for almost two weeks
rehabilitating an 80-year-old stone house
for a single mother with three children. I
worked alongside 16 people of different
ages and backgrounds from across the
United States. I love traveling and learning
about diverse cultures along with meeting
new and interesting people on these
global builds.
I also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity
locally in Dallas with my two boys, Jake

Early
Engineering
Taking the “E” from STEM is the focus
of a new Night Light class
By Gretchen Pollom, Lamplighter’s Perot
Museum of Nature and Science Coordinator
Children love to build, design, and create
things. This happens at an early age while
stacking cups, creating forts with pillows,
using cardboard boxes to make houses and
wood blocks to make towers, and turning
Duplo Legos into simple machines and
space ships. The more traditional Lego sets
are equally fun for children and parents,
but we often have different agendas:
parents want to complete the project and
display the tidy creations; children use the
same opportunity to practice step-by-step
directions, but the work does not stop
there. When we are quiet, we will hear
creative play at work. The characters come
to life! When a Lego set breaks, as it will
inevitably do, the same Lego pieces are
reimagined as something new. This is when
the creative juices flow.
Children use household items like paper
clips, coins, balloons, tape, glue, paper,
cardboard, scissors, egg cartons, paper
towel holders, plastic bottles, and bottle
caps to make new things. Open spaces
stocked with these common items are
great laboratories for curious minds.
Taking the “E” from STEM and using
“engineering” as the focus for a new
Night Light class is a logical next step
for the inventive and curious students at
Lamplighter. Students will brainstorm, plan,
FacultyFocus
design, test, and share results related to
their projects. Examples of some of the
projects are creating a super bouncy ball
out of a balloon, designing a parachute
for a safe landing, building an instrument
for measuring wind speed, designing a
windmill that lifts weight, and creating
something that will solve a problem. The
more opportunities children have to ask
questions, brainstorm ideas, design and
build prototypes, test, redesign, and share
their results, the more comfortable they
will be in solving real-world problems.
At the Perot Museum of Nature and
Science, the Engineering Hall is a favorite
of many children. For example, children
can build a sturdy bridge for cars to drive
across and design a building that can
withstand an earthquake, both of which are
important responsibilities of an engineer.
Children delight in the “Build It Garage.”
They design, test, and redesign their own
cars, airplanes, rockets, and catapults.
Lamplighter students will “build it” this
Fall in “E is for Engineering.”

PE and Science Teachers collaborate
By Gretchen Pollom, Lamplighter’s Perot
Museum of Nature and Science Coordinator
Last spring, teachers April Seeds and
Bill Burton and I planned and taught a
kindergarten lesson based on the Pitsco
“STEM in the Gym” unit. This fall, we
used our experiences and results to
write a paper that we submitted to the
magazine Science and Children. As many
in the Lamplighter community know, Bill
has written several articles that were
published in or are in the pipeline for
Science and Children. With Bill’s guidance,
we developed a cross-curricular science
and PE lesson focused on developing
gross motor skills while reinforcing the
kindergarten students’ understanding of
simple machines and force.
Our first step in planning the lesson
involved creating an overall vision for the
students’ experience. We designed five
stations that worked large muscle groups
in the arms, legs, upper back, and core. The
stations were set up with scooters, force
plates, pulley systems, gears, wheels and
axles, buckets, and balls.
Our second step involved implementing
and documenting the lesson. Each student
had the opportunity to use the simple
machine(s) at each station, to observe
how machines made the work easier, and
to compare and contrast how changing
variables (e.g., the amount of force exerted)
affected the experiment. Students used
wheels and axles on the scooters and
pulley systems attached to the wall to
move one another across the floor; they
used a gear and rope system to pull a
scooter across the floor; and a brick-filled
bucket was lifted off the floor using a pulley
system. Finally, two stations were set up
using force plates to measure the amount
of force exerted when pushing off the wall
or bouncing a ball.
Our last step involved assessing the work,
collecting photos, and writing the paper.
This step taught us the most valuable
lessons of the experience: what worked,
what we would do differently, and what
other opportunities exist for a PE and
science “connection.” The students enjoyed
the experience as evidenced by their
reactions during the PE class.

Oh, the Places
You’ll Go!
By Judith Mullens, Director of Early Childhood
“You have brains in your head.You have feet
in your shoes.You can steer yourself any
direction you choose.You’re on your own. And
you know what you know. And YOU are the
one who’ll decide where to go...” – Dr. Seuss
This summer, two colleagues from
Lamplighter’s Early Childhood division did
just that: they packed up their suitcases
and flew off to New York City at the end
of June for one week of intensive training
at Columbia University Teachers College
Reading & Writing Project (TCRWP)
to learn more about teaching reading
and writing from some of the greatest
educators and authors in America and
from around the world today. Because of
Lamplighter’s commitment to a robust
professional development program, each
year teachers are able to turn their dreams
into reality thereby greatly enriching the
learning experiences of their students.
This summer, Lamplighter faculty brought
back new ideas and inspiration from David
Booth, Professor Emeritus in Education at
the University of Toronto; Lucy Calkins,

In Search of a
Love of Reading
Founding Director of TCRWP and author
of numerous books on reading, including
one of the top 10 New York Times bestselling educational books, Pathways to
the Common Core; Kathy Collins, author
of Growing Readers: Units of Study in the
Primary Classroom; Mary Ehrenworth,
co-author of Investigative Journalism and
Position Papers: Research and Argument; and
Jacqueline Woodson, author of the Coretta
Scott King Award-winning book, Miracle’s
Boys and The Other Side.
The week flew by as teachers became
students again: they went to incredibly rich
classes; shared their insights and learning
in small groups; attended lectures that
made them cry, laugh, and think hard; and
stayed up late doing their homework.
On the last day, with suitcases in hand,
Lamplighter faculty took one last trip
around the corner to the Bank Street
Bookstore in Morningside Heights to drink
in the titles and illustrations of some of
the best children’s books available today.
All of this was packed up neatly inside the
minds and hearts of these two educators
and safely brought back to the students
at Lamplighter. What a dream, what a gift.
Thank you, Lamplighter, for making things
that seem impossible, real.
By Hannah Brown, Kindergarten Teacher
During the summer reading and writing
workshop at Columbia University Teachers
College in New York City, learning went
well beyond the material presented by the
workshop professors. I networked with
teachers from other states and countries,
heard from various speakers, such as the
author of The Other Side; and had time
to reflect and learn from supplemental
readings during the evening hours.
After hearing Jacqueline Woodson read
her new book, The Other Side, I was moved
to try to read picture books in the same
way that our children read their books–
by reading the pictures first. I learned
that as adults, we forget how meaningful
and magical the illustrations are in the
books we read. I was challenged through
Woodson’s lecture to read the pictures
before I begin to look at the words with
my students. This will help our youngest
readers by helping them experience every
part of the story. Picture books are again
as special to me as they were when I was
5 years old.
The week at Columbia University Teachers
College Reading and Writing Project
FacultyFocus
gave me new insight and strategies
to enrich and strengthen our reading
program. Through featured authors and
classic books, students will hear robust
vocabulary while they are transported
to other places that challenge their
imagination and encourage curiosity. In
our kindergarten classrooms, you will find
our youngest independent readers are
confident and proud of themselves, but the
most important thing you will find are our
students developing a love of reading.
Growing with
Gesell
Faculty members attend Gesell Development
Observation Workshop
By teacher Cheryl Shulman and school
counselor Jill Wiedman
Gesell’s theory is known as maturationaldevelopmental. It is the foundation of
nearly every other theory of human
development that came after Gesell’s.
Early in the 20th century, Dr. Gesell
observed and documented patterns in
the way children develop, showing that all
children go through similar and predictable
sequences, though each child moves
through these sequences at his or her own
rate or pace.
At Lamplighter, we frequently use the
GDO in early childhood. The data we
gather is always useful and is a piece
of the puzzle when making decisions
and understanding where a child is
developmentally versus chronologically.
Some information for this article was found at

Lamplighter welcomes four new teachers
Lower School teacher Maggie Fulton
comes from a family of educators. Two
of her sisters are teachers, and her
grandfather was the founder of Greenhill
School, from which she graduated. Ms.
Fulton has a Bachelor of Science in Early
Childhood Education and a Master’s in
Elementary Education from Texas Christian
University. She taught two years in Frisco
ISD and now teaches first grade.
“Though we have both been certified
in Gesell, we attended the Gesell
Developmental Observation (GDO)
Workshop last May to learn about new
additions to the assessment. Gesell’s
mission is to promote the principles
of child development as the basis for
all decision making for young children.
The vision is that all children enjoy their
childhood, and that they have the time
and opportunity to grow and to learn
at their own pace and in their own way.
We studied with Erin Akers, Director of
Gesell’s National Lecture Staff, at St. James
Episcopal School in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Our workshop focused on early child
development, specifically children ages
2½ through 6.
Another TCU alum, Lauren Hardage
has a Bachelor of Science in Early
Childhood Education and will graduate
from SMU with a Master of Liberal
Studies this December. Ms. Hardage
taught second grade at Uplift Infinity
Prep and worked as a teaching assistant
at The Hockaday School. The sister of a
Lamplighter alumna, she teaches third
grade math and social studies.

from Georgia Southern University where
she earned a Bachelor of Science in Early
Childhood Education and a Master’s in
Reading Education. Ms. Mouchet taught
fourth grade in Richmond Hill and most
recently worked as campus coordinator
and team instructor for Readers to
Leaders in Dallas. She teaches fourth
grade social studies and writing.

Young Alumni Help Lamplighter Shine
Lamplighter’s young alumni sponsored
their fourth annual Car Wash last May.
Contributions from the successful
fundraiser will be applied to the
School’s Land Fund. The Car Wash,
started in 2011, has evolved into “an
exciting and enjoyable event,” said Dr.
Joan Hill, Lamplighter’s Head of School.
The event was an overwhelming
success, according to organizing
committee members. About 80 cars were washed by more than 30
volunteers. The committee, made up of high school alumni, directed
the well-organized fundraiser. The seven members, who met monthly
prior to Saturday’s event, are currently in Upper School. The group
included Lamplighter graduates George and Katherine Dau, Joe Durst,
Meredith Hessel, Jack Kraus, Whit and Katie Payne, and Jared Steinhart.

2014-2015 Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the highest fundraising priority at The Lamplighter School. Providing direct
funding for educational initiatives and operational enhancements that tuition alone does not cover,
every dollar of this essential fund supports the mission of Lamplighter - igniting the potential of
each child.
Annual Fund dollars enhance children's educational experiences by:
• Ensuring professional development opportunities for faculty and staff
• Providing state of the art technology
• Acquiring current curriculum materials
• Supporting student enrichment with innovative programs and partnerships
A successful Annual Fund depends on participation from every member of our school community.
100% of trustees, faculty and staff supported last year's drive. 100% parent participation is always
the goal of the Annual Fund, as well as increased participation from grandparents, alumni parents,
alumni and friends.

Report of Annual Giving 2013-2014
Your support makes a
significant and positive
difference in the lives
of Lamplighter children.
Dear Lamplighter Community,
2013–2014 was an especially strong year for
Lamplighter. Dedicated volunteers worked
tirelessly, and generous donors strengthened
opportunities for our students and teachers.
It was incredibly gratifying to see Trustees,
Life Trustees, parents, grandparents, alumni,
alumni parents, faculty and staff members,
and friends of the school come together to
continue to invest in Lamplighter’s mission.
The year just past was filled with numerous
accomplishments, a few of which are
highlighted below:
• Annual Fund Chair Catie Enrico led an
outstanding Annual Fund campaign breaking
school records by raising over $575,600. The
faculty and staff achieved 100% participation
in just four days before the start of the school
year, and parent participation remained high
with 95% participation.
• Courtney Plumlee provided outstanding
leadership of the Lamplighter Parents
Association. Countless hours of volunteer
time, skills, and creativity added depth to our
programs while building a strong, cohesive
parent community. Auction Chair Shannon
Morse, along with Co-Chairs Brenna Lambert,
Karen Lobdell, Selwyn Rayzor, and Laura
Trubey, created a most memorable community
event, “King of the Road,” raising $283,880
for the Land Fund.
• Lamplighter grandparents were offered
more opportunities than ever before to
participate in campus events and activities.
Joan Genender made substantial contributions
in her role as Grandparent Chair, to educate
and engage this important segment of the
Lamplighter community.

Report of Annual Giving 2013–2014
• Lamplighter’s Alumni Association, led by
Kyle Ford ’74, honored two beloved teachers,
Sheila McCartor and Juli McGinnis, with the
Lamplighter Spirit Award during Alumni
Week. Over 150 alumni, faculty, family, and
friends gathered to honor these two very
special women.
• The work of the Pre-Campaign Task Force
concluded after the Board accepted their
recommendations last September. Following
the work of the Task Force, an Architect
Search Committee was assembled. Under
the capable leadership of board member
Leslie Krakow, the Committee conducted
a nationwide search for an architect. After
narrowing the number of firms throughout
the spring, the Committee made a
recommendation to the Board in late May.
Your support makes a significant and positive
difference in the lives of Lamplighter children.
Alumni parent and board member Jennifer
Karol said it best: “It was Lamplighter that
gave my children their strong foundation
not only to love learning but to be caring,
compassionate citizens of the world.”
Please accept my most heartfelt thanks for
helping provide Lamplighter students a
serious education wrapped in the wonder
of childhood.
In Lamplighter Spirit,
Sandy Diamond
Director of Advancement
