CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF KRUTULIS FAMILY LEADERSHIP
In Honor of 60 Years of Krutulis Family Leadership
Excerpts from the 60th Anniversary Online Celebration Page
“Congratulations to John Krutulis and Gulliver Schools on 60 years of
educational excellence! For 28 years, I have been a proud employee
of Gulliver Schools.
As a longtime employee, I have reflections on many fronts. Witnessing
historic moments and celebrations at Gulliver, sharing so many
moments with Mrs. K and personally photographing many, seeing the
recovery after Hurricane Andrew, enjoying the physical changes and
implementation of technology – these are but a few.
Now, I see children in the Lower School whose parents were students
when I began my employment. And...the most special of all is to have
my own little grandchild a student at Gulliver. Her father, my son-in-law,
is a former student. Full circle!
Seeing happy students each and every day, working with fellow
employees who love what they do, working with and assisting an
amazing principal are reasons I come to work each day. However,
the most important reason of all is the Gulliver leadership. Yes, the
leadership is what makes Gulliver what it is today. The vision Mrs. K
had for an ‘academic and character-building education’ lives on.
“Our wish would be for every parent to receive the call we did from our
daughter while she was at college. She called us late one night during her
first year away at school. The words every parent wants to hear went as
follows: ‘Mom, Dad, thank you. Thank you for having the wisdom to enroll me
at Gulliver. I know I am going to be successful. I still hear my teachers’ voices
in my head when I approach these collegiate assignments and I am not
worried about keeping up. In fact, I think I am setting the bar high by bringing
what I learned here. Mom, Dad, thank you and I love you.’
We certainly never doubted our decision to become a Gulliver family, but that
call really cemented what we already knew. Anyone fortunate enough to be a
part of Gulliver is very lucky indeed.”
The Frazier Family, Jasmine ‘07, Mekayla ‘20

I feel confident the Krutulis family leadership will live on for another 60
years. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this historic celebration.”

60th Day of School in Honor of 60 Years
On November 5, 2013, the 60th day of the academic year, Gulliver kicked off a celebration that lasted throughout the
school year. The festivities, at both the Academy and the Preparatory campuses, began with spirited school-wide
pep rallies that included the unveiling of the Academy Raider mascot and student showcases and concluded with
the cutting of a Gulliver birthday cake. Additionally, Miami-Dade County, the city of Coral Gables and the Village of
Pinecrest acknowledged November 5 with proclamations as “Gulliver Schools Day.”
Gulliver Academy Named in Honor of Mrs. K
Gulliver is pleased to announce that its Academy campus has been named in honor of Marian C. Krutulis,
Gulliver’s founder. This dedication pays tribute to Mrs. K’s lifelong vision and commitment to shaping thousands of
young lives as a pioneer in educational excellence. She strove to develop the unique gifts and talents of each
Gulliver student in a nurturing environment. This campus dedication preserves her memory and the rich history
she left us, and it will always remind us of the joy she gained from building a second home for our past, present
and future students and their families.

Message from the President and Chairman of
the Board and the Director and Head of Schools
Sixty years ago, Marian Cline Krutulis, founder of Gulliver Schools, began
her life’s work of creating an academic community devoted to educational
excellence with a personal touch that fulfills each student’s potential.
Through Mrs. K’s pioneering and visionary leadership, the mission of
Gulliver was born. Since then, that mission has remained at the center of
our identity and success. This year’s report is dedicated to a rich 60-year
history of Krutulis family leadership and the deep-rooted legacy of Mrs. K
that lives on in each and every one of us.
While we are always looking to the future at Gulliver, we also realize how
important it is to understand and honor our past. In this spirit, the 2013-2014
Annual Report of Giving pays tribute to our humble beginnings, celebrates our
collective accomplishments, commemorates our anniversary and recognizes
many members of the Gulliver community for their ongoing commitment and
generosity.
We are pleased to report that in this celebratory year, we raised an impressive
$1.3 million to advance the mission of our great school. Annual Fund
contributions grew 15 percent over the previous year, totaling more than
$800,000. We sincerely appreciate the generosity of our 1,400-plus donors for
helping make these accomplishments possible. We would also like to recognize
and congratulate the 14 Gulliver divisions, including the entire Montgomery
Drive Campus, the entire extended care team and the entire maintenance
department, which achieved 100 percent participation in this year’s Annual
Fund efforts. We also owe a great debt of gratitude to our Annual Fund
volunteer chairs for their leadership and commitment to our goal.
Anniversary celebrations kicked off this year with a 60th day of school
celebration, during which local dignitaries presented proclamations for the
occasion. The celebrations culminated with a Tribute Event in the spring,
attended by more than 600 parents, alumni and friends. It was touching to
see the outpouring of support this celebration received. Our sponsors and
underwriters, our volunteers and event committee – we cannot thank you
enough for your generosity. We would like to acknowledge and thank our
honorary chairs – Ray and Shannon Allen, Jennifer Valoppi and Christian de
Berdouaré – for their involvement. We also extend our sincere gratitude to our
event co-chairs – Kara Diez, Teresita Haskett and Brenda Jabro – for working
alongside our advancement department to ensure that we celebrated this
milestone in such a grand way.
As we begin the next chapter in our history, we are pleased to announce the
appointment of Frank Steel as our new head of schools. We would like to
extend our sincere thanks to those who assisted in the national search process.
Frank joined the Gulliver family this July, after a 30-year career at Springside
Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia. There, he held positions including head
of school, head of Upper School and associate admissions director. Frank’s
integrity, drive for academic excellence and management skills will ensure
that the Krutulis legacy, established six decades ago, lives on. Our Gulliver
community should be assured that this management change solidifies our
unwavering dedication to honor our traditions, as well as a commitment to plan
for our continued growth.
As always, our students remain at the center of everything we do here at
Gulliver, and year after year, we are continuously amazed at the breadth of their
accomplishments in the areas of academics, dance, visual arts, community
service and athletics – just to name a few. This year, three fine arts students
earned recognition as Scholastic Art Award winners. The Lower School has
given out more than 100 Caught You Caring and Respectful Raider awards,
and Lower School students logged more than 67 million reading words during
the first three quarters. The Middle School Robotics Team won two awards at
the FIRST LEGO League “Nature’s Fury” Challenge: Most Creative Project
for its tsunami pod design and Most Helpful for assisting other teams with
their robots and programs. Also, the Middle School Drama Troupe earned 15
ensemble and duet awards (eight Superior and two Excellent) at the Florida
19
Junior Thespians State Festival, and the Gulliver Academy Advanced Orchestra
received an overall Excellent rating at the Florida Orchestra Association District
Music Performance Assessments. The Gulliver Academy Advanced Band
received an overall Excellent rating at the Florida Bandmasters Association
than $6 million in merit-based and non-athletic scholarship awards.

students continue to excel in unprecedented ways, receiving national and
international recognition. Our staff consistently demonstrates a commitment
and dedication to the success and advancement of Gulliver’s mission. Our
alumni are leaders in fields including business, education, medicine, art, law
and more. They are improving and enhancing their communities and the
country in often-quiet, unassuming ways.
Our high school students upheld this same level of excellence. Our Prep
Drama Troupe received Perfect scores and straight Superiors at the Florida
State Thespian Festival in pantomime, duet musical and monologue. For the
first time in Gulliver history, they also entered Musical Theatre Competitions of
America’s national competition with the musical medley “The Ladies of Rodgers
and Hammerstein,” taking home second place. The Prep jazz, string, vocal and
wind ensembles received straight Superior ratings at the Florida Orchestra,
Bandmasters and Vocal Associations’ district festivals, earning 15 out of 15
Superior ratings in four events. The Prep’s dance team also was named National
Over-All Small Team Champions at the 2014 Contest of Champions, where more
than 65 teams represented 12 states. And, the Prep engineering team won the
Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge and was awarded two provisional patents
for water and energy systems.
The members of the class of 2014 logged more than 64,000 community service
hours during their four years at the Prep. Their major projects included the Dance
Club’s AIDS benefit and student favorite Interact Club, benefiting Chapman
Partnership, Easter Seals and Give Kids the World. Raider sports teams took
home four state championship titles in 2013-2014, in boys’ soccer, boys’ water
polo and boys’ and girls’ tennis.
A number of students in this particularly accomplished class earned academic
distinctions: Six students were recognized as National Merit Scholarship Finalists
by their respective college or university, five students earned places as National
Merit Commended Scholars, six students were named National Hispanic Scholars,
two students were named National Achievement Scholars and five students
were nominated for the Miami Herald Silver Knight Awards. Our seniors also
continued the tradition of 100 percent college acceptance, and earned more

While the accolades are diverse, they are united by a school community
that is committed to building on a tradition of excellence. Our faculty and
With more than 50 countries represented in our student population, the
Gulliver of today is a diverse community full of positive energy, momentum,
progress and pride. During this special anniversary year, you have
responded with immense generosity – be it volunteering your time with the
Parents’ Association or Alumni Association, providing classroom support or
contributing to the Annual Fund. We have counted on you, and we are so
grateful for the strong show of support our community has displayed for the
work we are doing today and for the possibilities that lie ahead of us.
Thanks to everyone’s collective efforts, our great school is poised for a bright
and robust future. We are indeed in good company, all together for Gulliver.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND
THE DIRECTOR AND HEAD OF SCHOOLS
21
“Seeing students
discover
things about themselves or the world
around them is such a thrill.”

Spotlight on the New Head of Schools
New Head of Schools Frank Steel joined the Gulliver family in 2014 and is thrilled
to be a Raider, overseeing school operations. He and his wife of 30 years, Betsy,
are enjoying the Miami lifestyle, culture and weather after a lifetime of living
in chilly Philadelphia. A self-described lifelong educator, Steel began teaching
after college graduation and knew education was his passion and something
he wanted to make his vocation. He also is a lifelong learner, something he
and Betsy have instilled in their children Hadley (27 years old) and Penn (25
years old). The entire family still takes an annual family trip every year, during
which they travel globally to appreciate other beliefs and locales. Recently, Steel
reflected on his philosophy and his future goals while appreciatively watching
Gulliver students enjoying a new school year outside his office window.
How would your previous students and faculty describe you?
I believe the families and staff at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy would have
three things to say about me. The first is that I am present. I show up at games,
plays, special events, parent events, and I know what is going on at school –
both in and outside of the classroom. I am truly a part of school life and care
about it. I want to be aware of when to celebrate or how to manage difficult
circumstances. Second, I am very fair and I am told that I am good listener. I am
not one to make snap judgments and always make sure to get lots of information
from both sides of the situation before I start making decisions. I also think they
would say that I am good at sifting through information and helping find a fair
outcome. Finally, being respectful is a trait that others see in me. I really believe
everyone should earn respect and give respect.
What do you enjoy the most about the education profession?
Simply, I am energized by being around young people. My entire career, I have
been around preschool through high school students, and it is wonderful. There
is nothing like getting to see the 3- and 4-year-olds who wave hello in the hall – I
get to be the school-person version of a rock star.
activities. Whether a student is strong in drama, art or athletics, it is amazing to
be a part of his or her passion. Teachers stay young because they are around
good energy all day. Seeing students discover things about themselves or the
world around them is such a thrill.
Working and learning together is also important. During my career, education has
changed from teacher-dominated to teacher as coach. Developments such as
the infusion of technology into daily school life, show how the process of learning
can even go from student to teacher versus from teacher to student, so that
element is very exciting. I like learning, and my personal goal this year is to learn
to speak Spanish. I am constantly educating myself, which shows students and
teachers the importance of lifelong learning. Being a Head of School has allowed
me to learn about so many topics, in and out of the classroom, and I look forward
to learning more about Gulliver’s many amazing programs.
What are some accomplishments you’re most proud of?
When I was head of the Upper School at my prior school, educational research
was emerging that showed how to better accommodate students with learning
differences. Schools at the time had a choice whether or not to implement the
new philosophies, and we chose to be a leader in working to make our high
school a more student-centered place. We were able to create systems so
that a broader range of very capable students could find success at our school.
When I was head of school, it was very gratifying to increase fundraising to
the highest level in the school’s history so we could build facilities and provide
resources that the students needed. Being able to engage parents and alumni in
the fundraising efforts, to get them excited about the school’s future, was
very important, too.
Finally, I am proud of the personal relationships I developed with students and
their families that in some ways you only find out about when departing a school.
I was given a lot of nice feedback from both students and parents about the
impact I had on their lives – which is priceless.
There is so much fun in learning, and I am grateful to be a part of the students’
23
What are some things that appealed to you when you first
visited Gulliver’s campuses?
Before I visited Gulliver, I could tell just from the position description that the tone
and spiritual center of school was really wholesome. Clearly the work of Mrs. K
was paramount to the success of the school, and her mission remains so clear.
When I arrived on campus for my interviews, I could see and feel everything
that was being done was for the good of the students and their development.
Everything starts a passion for learning and includes a healthy infusion of fun.
People that I met during the process, even though I was in the hot seat for
interviews, I felt a mutual desire to connect on a personal and friendly level.
What is your philosophy on education?
Schools should be seeking ways to help students find and engage in their
passion so they understand how they can pursue becoming a master at what
they love. Graduates should leave school knowing what they are good at and
how to pursue their field so they can take it as far as they want.
It’s also important to connect what you do at school with what is happening in
students’ real lives. We should never have students asking “is this going to be
on the test;” rather, they should be asking how it can be used in their lives. For
example, teaching kids how to use social media and become savvy users of
technology may give them a better understanding of literature.
Also, personal character matters a lot in life. Schools should use opportunities
to build character by teaching the differences between right and wrong. It’s
easy to pass on knowledge, but it is harder to responsibly use the opportunities
presented in school life.
24
I also looked at the signature high school programs and the different ways the
school ensures the best and most innovative possible experience. Whether that’s
smaller classes for some students so they can have extra focus on learning skills
or a biomedical program that allows others to develop a greater breadth and
depth of their passion, Gulliver truly has a program that meets the needs of each
of our 2,200 students.
I was also very impressed with the social spirit of the school, as well as the
Raider pride that can be seen during morning announcements or an athletic
event. Gulliver is a special place to be, and students know they are lucky
to be here.
I also really liked that the school is willing to play a strong advocacy role in
the private education community. By being a part of the Florida Council of
Independent Schools, we are being a good citizen not only to our students
but also to others in our state. I am proud to be at a school that institutionally
believes in that principle.
What are your priorities in year one as head of schools?
Two words are guiding me this year, and the first is “understand.” Coming from
Philadelphia, Miami is a very different place and I am really excited to be here.
However, I am also very cognizant that I am going to need to understand how
SPOTLIGHT ON THE NEW HEAD OF SCHOOLS
the community works so I can be an effective leader. Gulliver is different in size
and structure from my previous school, but both believe foundationally in the
same thing – which is educating the whole child to be a lifelong learner. I want to
make it clear that I am not coming with a blueprint, but rather a set of beliefs and
that we will work together so I can understand the people, place and school first.
My second guiding principle is “imagine.” We are trying to imagine the future for
Gulliver by looking at what we are doing and how we can do it better. Is there
something we haven’t been doing but should be? I have asked each department
or division to think about whether there are things we want to consider doing
differently and what that might look like. Specifically, I want to be thinking about
how we can integrate technology into our curriculum so students can be better
engaged and teachers can go deeper into the learning process.
I also want to look at social responsibility, which has always been a part of
Gulliver. But are there other opportunities that we can include? Personally,
when I think of social responsibility, I like to focus on environmentalism and
sustainability. For example, when we build buildings on campus, are we being
environmentally sensitive? In the more immediate term, we can look at
things like recycling.
I also want the students to look at entrepreneurship, in the sense that they
can better understand the area of their passion or understand their area of
coursework. They need to know they can be an agent of change right now, rather
than waiting to make a difference. The theatre students can write and direct
their own plays. The science students can author more original research more
publicly. The student-athletes can work toward playing at the next level. I want
students to know they can make a difference today.
The bottom line is: I’m so excited to be here on so many levels. My wife and I are
very happy to be here and to be totally engaged in school life. I am so excited
to wake up and come to school everyday, and I am so charged up and happy to
share the true passion that goes with being a Raider!

applied to non-profit organizations. Please refer
to the charts indicating the source and
application of funds.
Gulliver operates a fiscally sound economic base
that minimizes debt and tuition growth. The school
has implemented a system of internal controls
designed to reasonably ensure the safeguarding
of its assets and the proper authorization, execution
and recording of its transactions. Additionally,
the school engages the services of Verdeja & De
Armas, LLP as independent accountants to audit
its financial statements and express an opinion
concerning said statements. Their audits include
reviews and tests of the school’s internal controls
to the extent they believe necessary to determine
and conduct the audit procedures that support
their opinion.

Founder’s Circle
Founded in 1926 by Arthur Gulliver and acquired by Marian Krutulis in 1953, Gulliver Schools has been shaped by Mrs. K’s vision of being a grand school home
where everyone would feel part of a caring, challenging family of learners. Like Mrs. K, it takes a special kind of individual to be a leader – someone with vision, who
assesses challenges and creates innovative solutions. Members of our Founder’s Circle are leaders who help impact critical areas within the Gulliver community in
profound and meaningful ways. Such givers understand how crucial private support is to the continued vitality of our school. Giving at a higher level provides Gulliver
with the extra resources necessary to create a superlative learning experience for students, faculty and staff.
A lifetime membership is extended to donors who have given $25,000 or more since Gulliver became a non-profit in 2000.

Building Our Endowment
An endowment is a permanent fund that provides perpetual, annual support for
Gulliver. Gulliver is committed to building its endowment to help develop and
ensure the school’s long-term financial security. Endowment funds are important
to Gulliver because they relieve the school from having to raise every single
dollar needed every year, providing an income source on which the school can
depend. As of June 2014, endowments totaled $7,391,874.
As an endowment fund donor, you may decide to designate your gift to one
of our established endowments or inquire about initiating a new one. Initiating
a new endowment has a threshold amount of $25,000, which enables you
to create a lasting legacy in your name or in the name of someone you wish
to honor or memorialize. The initial gift will never be touched, and since it is
invested, it will grow each year. Only interest income from the endowment will be
used for the purpose you designate.
NAMED ENDOWMENTS
General Endowment:
Established with proceeds raised from the 50th anniversary gala;
supports the school’s educational programs
Joseph A. and Marian C. Krutulis Memorial Endowment:
Established by the Krutulis family and past parents; supports students

Faculty/Staff Endowment:
Established with proceeds raised from the 2008 “Tropicana Nights”

and retention

Thousands of people across the world benefit every day from
the brilliant innovations being discovered and fabricated by
Gulliver’s engineering program. From fresh, drinkable water
needed in developing countries to scissors that everyone can
use regardless of disability, students under the leadership of the
engineering and biomedical science department chair,
Mr. Claude Charron, have changed lives through this incredible
program. In just a little over a decade, the program has
blossomed from one engineering class to an international
award-winning vocational track. We spoke with Charron about
the program.
finish, and in her true fashion, she asked me why we didn’t win.
At first I thought she was kidding, but I asked if I could get back to
her. After researching the teams that placed ahead of us, they all
had full engineering programs within their schools.
In 2003, with Mrs. K’s encouragement, Hank Langston and I
started implementing Project Lead the Way’s STEM (science,
technology, engineering and math) curriculum for our 11th and
12th graders. We once again entered the national competition,
making it to the final five and flying to Washington, D.C. We won
the competition for our carry-on suitcase that could go through
airport security without having to be opened. We returned, and
I was sure Mrs. K was going to be thrilled, but her only question
was whether anyone was actually going to use the suitcase! She
always challenged me and our program to get better.
How did the engineering program evolve?
In 1997, when I arrived at Gulliver, I came to teach physics at the
Prep. I would ask my students what they wanted to be when they
grew up and some would say engineer. But then it was always
followed with a blank stare when I questioned what specialty
they would like to pursue, such as electrical or mechanical
engineering. I knew we needed to start an afterschool program to
help them explore their options. Thus JETS (Junior Engineering
Technical Society) was born, and we began competing locally.
The kids had fun and did well, but in 2001 we decided to up the
ante. We entered the National Engineering Design Challenge with
a goal of solving a problem from beginning to end. We worked
with a boy who was under 10 years old who experienced difficulty
and challenges riding a bicycle. So, we created a bike he could
use, teaching him how to ride a two-wheeler. Our team placed
sixth out of 35 teams, which was great for a first experience. We
all came back excited. I couldn’t wait to tell Mrs. Krutulis about our

How does the engineering curriculum compare to other
STEM schools?
In 2006 Gulliver earned a national certification for our engineering program,
which better prepares students in 9th to 12th grades for a career in STEM with
help from the Project the Lead Way curriculum. Since 2010, Gulliver has been a
model school: When other Florida high schools want to start a STEM program,
their administrators and teachers come to Gulliver to learn how to be successful.
I am also a master teacher for the 11th and 12th grade courses, so each summer
I travel the country for a total of six weeks mentoring other teachers to help better
engage their students. We have successfully implemented STEM throughout the
Gulliver campuses, and many of our graduates find themselves excused from
entry-level college engineering classes due to their Gulliver experience.
How is the Gulliver engineering program contributing
to society?
We wanted to bring a culture of invention to Gulliver, and we determined the
key to success was finding a way we could make a difference in people’s lives.
Our mission was community service – not necessarily winning competitions.
However, participating in the National Engineering Design Challenge has proven
to be an amazing process in which Gulliver students have placed in the top
five in the nation during seven of the last nine years and have won the coveted
competition during two of those years.
During the last three years, we have continued to focus on helping people and
competing in robotics, but we wanted to shift to creating products that help
with sustainable environments. We began creating a device to compete in the
Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge, which we won in 2012 with our LiTreS
(liquid treatment system). LiTreS is a portable filtration system that removes
bacteria, pathogens and viruses from locally available water, making it safe to
drink. Currently, there are six LiTreS water systems being used on a daily basis
in the Philippines, Haiti, Nigeria and the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic
of Congo. It has a patent pending, and the main goal is to provide thousands of
these units to help several developing nations with water issues.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: THE IMPACT OF GULLIVER PREP ENGINEERING
In 2013, the students won the international competition again with the
Eco-Cooker, which is a portable, inexpensive device that changes manure into
useable gas energy – also meant for use in developing countries. Winning these
competitions provides seed money and, combined with funds from our generous
their knowledge. We also have a strong parent support base that attends our
showcases twice a year and provide financial support, which allows the students
to use their creativity continue to create these life-changing inventions.
donors, allows us to help so many people throughout the world on a daily basis.
Mrs. K’s philosophy was not to look at us as academically privileged, but that
we should work hard and give back to the community with this amazing synergy
of energy. These engineering students are true leaders today. Every year they
take up the challenge of the classes before them, leading to amazing results and
helping make the world a better place. The best part is that I can’t take the credit;
I am simply steering the ship. This success is student led.
How does the Gulliver community assist with your
students’ success?
Many of the projects that the engineering department has been able to develop
and implement for our end users have been made possible thanks to the
continued support of parents and the community. Their devoted time and
financial support have been a key ingredient to our overall success. Of course,
our alumni are also always a great addition to our program, because the students
can clearly see how their involvement can lead to a successful future in the
engineering field.
What’s next for the engineering program?
One of reasons our projects are successful is that we talk to the people who
are going to use our inventions to see if they will be practical. We bring experts
into class to find out exactly how we can help them fix a problem and spend half
the year on the design process. We then spend one quarter building the device
and then one quarter making sure it works. This year, I am looking forward to
working side by side with the business program so we can combine the skill sets
necessary for the real world. We will combine engineering with marketing and
working on a business plan.
What is the greatest achievement of the engineering program?
Helping other people in need and encouraging student growth is what I hold as
most important. Seeing the students’ passion and character develop is by far the
most rewarding part. Our graduates are engaged and challenged in college and
beyond, and they can succeed in a STEM career because it makes them happy.
Fourteen years ago, we had two graduating seniors apply to a college
engineering program. Today, we have more than 100 Gulliver alumni who are
licensed engineers and who are more than happy to come back and share

A Celebration of Generosity
Commitment
On November 14, 2013, Gulliver held a special
reception in the Shah Family Library Media Center to
thank and honor donors who contributed $2,000 or
more to Gulliver during the previous school year. This
reception served as an opportunity to bring together
lead supporters from throughout our school community
in an intimate setting to extend personal thanks and
gratitude. The evening was graciously sponsored by
BNY Mellon Wealth Management.
“I am lucky to work with a company where
philanthropy and community service are taken
seriously, and each employee is encouraged to get
involved in volunteer work,” said Libby Witherspoon
‘87, a current parent and Gulliver trustee who is a
senior director and portfolio manager with BNY Mellon
Wealth Management. “We at BNY Mellon applaud
the generosity of the lead donors and commend their
support of the school. Their commitment to Gulliver
truly makes a difference in the experience of each and
every student.”
Witherspoon also thanked Gulliver for teaching her the
importance of giving back. “Supporting Gulliver is just
one way BNY Mellon demonstrates its corporate social
responsibility and commitment to our community,” she
added. “We are thrilled to partner with Gulliver.”

MATT SULLIVAN ‘88
During his four years at Gulliver, Matt
lettered in three sports – football, soccer
and baseball. In football, he was a running
back, defensive back and kicker for the 1987
state-ranked football team. As a senior, he
gained more than 1,500 all-purpose yards
and was named first team all-county and
second team all-state by The Miami Herald.
In soccer, he was Miami-Dade County’s
leading scorer, with 29 goals his junior year,
and earned first team all-county and first
team all-state honors. As a senior, Matt led his team to a second consecutive
district title and again earned all-county and all-state honors. In baseball, he was
a two-year starter at third base for the state-ranked Raiders. Matt went on to
play college football at Ithaca College, where he started four years as the team’s
placekicker. He went on to set numerous school records, including longest field
goal (50 yards), most field goals in a season and career and most points scored
in a season. In 1992, Matt graduated as a two-time National Champion (1988 and
1991) and was the school’s all-time leading scorer with 254 points.

4th Annual “Make a Splash”
Swim-A-Mile Event:
Fun in the Sun
The Fourth Annual “Make a Splash” Swim-A-Mile
Event was another fun day in the sun! More than
200 participants of all ages swam up to 72 laps
in our state-of-the-art Aquatic Center at the Prep
and raised more than $38,000. Proceeds from the
event support the school’s Annual Fund, benefiting
the Gulliver Booster Club and the performing and
visual arts departments. A special gift of $5,000 was
made to the KiDZ Neuroscience Center at the Miami
Project to Cure Paralysis.
The Sundancers and cheerleaders kicked off
the morning with an outstanding performance.
Before the swimmers hit their lanes, John Krutulis,
director of schools, recognized and thanked our
student and parent chairs, and Coach Jeff Poppell,
aquatics director, thanked the participants for their
commitment to the event.
Our top fundraiser this year was Mekayla Frazier
‘20, who won a new iPad mini. Our second-place
winner was Ricky Hermida ‘15, who took home a
new Kindle Fire. Congratulations to both of them
and all our participants!

2013 HOLIDAY MARKETPLACE
The Holiday Marketplace: A Shopping Extravaganza
The Holiday Marketplace, held on December 5, 2013, was an exceptional day of shopping.
This event generated more than $19,000 to support Gulliver’s Annual Fund. Parents, students,
faculty, staff and guests were invited to stroll throughout its booths to find unique gifts, personal
treasures and that special present for family and friends. Everyone enjoyed shopping, socializing
and hearing the Academy band, orchestra and chorus perform.
With more than 55 participating vendors, our shoppers were able to find something special for
everyone on their lists!
A special thank you to our Holiday Marketplace chairs, volunteer team,
vendors and shoppers.

Raider’s Edge Networking Lunch
Having the right connection can give you the edge you need in growing your business or taking the next step in your career. On February 12, 2014, Raiders had the
opportunity to strengthen their professional network by getting to know the business side of their fellow alumni. More than 35 alumni met at The Capital Grille to share
a little about themselves and their businesses, including ideal leads and referrals. After lunch, alumni were welcome to stay for open networking. The event attracted a
number of career-minded first-time networkers, including Alexander Arostegui ‘08, Elizabeth Meltzer Boulenger ‘83, Christine Capo-Hernandez ‘93, Harris Koroglu ‘98,
Danielle Morera ‘00 and Lynn Bennett Toland ‘82. Special recognition goes to George Ubing ‘82 for traveling from Dallas, Texas, to network with his fellow alumni.
Thank you to Rob Boyers and Hannon & Boyers for serving as our host and sponsor of the event.

ALUMNI EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Alumni Reunion Weekend – A Record-Breaking Weekend
Celebrating 60 years of Raider Pride,
the 2014 alumni reunion was a recordbreaker. Back to Miami and The
Biltmore Hotel for the second year in
a row, the reunion drew its biggest
attendance ever, with more than 300
alumni and guests participating in
reunion weekend activities.
Keeping in tradition with Gulliver’s
annual reunion, alumni from every
class year were invited to attend.
Spanning four decades of alumni,
the classes celebrating special
anniversaries included the classes of
1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999 and
2004. A special contest offering a free
Saturday cabana to the anniversary
class with the most attendees drew
serious competition. The 10thanniversary class of 2004 took the
lead early and kept it all the way
through to win the competition and
claim the title of “Biggest Reunion
Class” in Gulliver alumni history.
Celebrating their 35th anniversary,
the class of 1979 received special
recognition for being the first senior
class to graduate from the Prep
Campus. Attendees Denise Johnson
Stephens, Bill Grossman, Greg
Martini and Emily White recalled
classes were held at the FIU campus
the first few weeks of school because
the Prep was still under construction.
The reunion also drew the most
out-of-town attendees ever. While
taking their reunion class photos, the
following alumni were recognized for
traveling the farthest to celebrate with
their classmates; Emily White ‘79 –
New York, NY; Karina Bowles Bartlett
‘84 – San Francisco, California;
Claudia Bowles Walter ‘89 – New
Albany, Ohio; Benita De Mirza ‘94
– Southborough, Massachusetts;
Karl Garcia ‘99 – Washington, DC;
and Jessica Reeves ‘04 – Tacoma,
Washington.
The Prep was bustling Friday night
from alumni attending the welcome
reception. Activities started at the
Prep’s Shah Family Library Media
Center. In addition to catching up
with classmates and seeing all the
enhancements to the school, alumni
enjoyed sharing special memories
with current and past faculty and staff,
including Jorge Dieppa, Peg Escovar,
Leann Kurzner, Hank Langston,
Ruben Valencia and Linda Fitzgerald.
After the reception, alumni were
invited to the gym for a special alumni
pep rally. Alumnus and Gulliver’s
Activities Director Danielle Bowen ‘94
led the activities, which filled the gym
with laughter and cheers from alumni
as they watched their classmates
compete in a variety of games.
Saturday night festivities began with
a warm welcome from our director of
schools, John Krutulis, and a special
video celebrating Gulliver’s 60th
anniversary. John also introduced
Gulliver’s new head of schools, Frank
Steel. In addition to brief remarks,
Frank announced Gulliver’s expanded
board commencing with the 2014
-2015 school year. Alumni board
members in attendance included Tony
Figueroa Cisneros ‘94, Emilio Nunez
‘83, Charlie Phelan ‘85, Swapnil Shah
‘94 and Libby Witherspoon ‘87.
Immediately following the short
program, alumni took to the dance
floor with top hits from across
the decades. After last call in the
ballroom, the party continued at The
19th Hole after-party, where the latenight DJ kept alumni dancing until
closing time!
