Bullis seniors welcome arriving students on the first day of school. PERSPECTIVES: HEAD OF SCHOOL | Christian Sullivan

A YEAR OF FIRSTS

Whether entering Bullis as a new student, teacher or even head of I write this at both a difficult time and a time of hope; we are in the school, we are primed for a year of firsts. A first opening day, a first dark last throes of the pandemic, but with the first vaccination given Homecoming, a first gala, a first play, a first graduation and the first in the States this week, there is a bright light at the end of this long experiences of all the important traditions that add to the richness tunnel. Hopefully we can stay focused and maintain our fortitude of a school like Bullis. Since arriving on campus in late June, I have in these last few months of the pandemic. In the spirit of looking often expressed how fortunate I am to be at Bullis; my family and I forward, I am excited about embarking on a strategic planning have been wowed by the friendliness and support we have received, process in January. I am excited because we will produce a roadmap Wbut I am also sensitive to the fact that I have not seen so much of with deliverables that will lead us to a compelling vision of the future the real Bullis in action yet. I have seen the can-do spirit of “the of Bullis. I enjoy having a strategic plan that, rather than serving as Bullis Way,” and the real desire to look after our students and the a glossy brochure, is a working document that never gathers dust. community, but I have yet to experience all the wonders that this Bullis is already great, and I want to raise expectations even further; school has to offer. Sure, I saw it in action as a candidate, and when I can promise you that we will never become complacent. I visited after my appointment, but it is different when truly part of the community. Bullis is fortunate to have talented, hardworking, experienced trust- ees, faculty, parents, and alumni. The future is bright, and I cannot I believe this is true too for all our new students, their families and wait to get going on this project and move towards the beginning of our new faculty. I truly hope that those new to the community are my “first” Bullis year. getting a feel for the real Bullis, but inevitably for many of us who are new, next year will be our first real Bullis year. Undoubtedly, we will have a leg up, and already have a devotion to the school, and frankly, I can’t wait.

But Over the summer, Brooks spent countless hours making lists and gathering materials to create nearly one hundred educational kits containing Styrofoam, paints, spackle, crayons, and more. He wanted to make it possible for remote and in-class Upper School students to make scenic and production designs and prop foods like cakes, sundaes, and burgers. He also filled kits for Middle School students with socks, cloth, accessories, and small plastic Left: Lower School student retrieves box of art skeletons “perfect for teaching movement in supplies from the hallway.

“This is an initiative of kindness, and using art to express that,” Swadling said. Kathleen Adams agreed. “Our fervent hope is to continue this effort through Art Club and the National Art Honor Society, sharing artwork and a kind message with all members of the Bullis community.”

After creating the unique and beautiful cards, students wrote personalized messages of thanks and appreciation on the back, and distributed them to offices, classrooms, and mailboxes around campus, surprising and delighting the many recipients.

“Anything for science,” they say. That is the attitude Dr. Celeste In years past, McDaniels, Upper School science teacher and department chair, students would work takes as she prepares lab materials to drop off at her students’ in groups of two or houses on a Friday night. Henry Sun, a senior in McDaniels’ honors three, but this year chemistry course, appreciates her efforts. “The labs have been requires innovation. really good, especially since Dr. McDaniels drops off what we need Like her Middle to complete the lab,” he says. “It’s harder to explain the data when and Upper School other people are collecting it, but I still feel like I can understand counterparts, Miller everything.” This shows the importance of a hands-on lab experience created an individual in science. set of materials for each of her students. At its core, science helps us understand the mysteries of life. Preparing science During the pandemic, as we live daily with the uncertainty of the materials takes coronavirus, the pursuit of scientific inquiry and understanding feels significant time in a as real and urgent as ever, particularly in lab-based sciences. normal school year; this year, teachers Since March there have been ups and downs due to the pandemic, have put in extra and I have noticed some things settling into two categories— hours preparing changes to normal routines, and creative solutions arising out of personalized kits necessity; these offer a glimpse of hope much like new seedlings taking root in the fertile soils devastated by fire. Through challenge for face-to-face and virtual and hardship, the science department at Bullis has found ways to students to ensure the health press on and inspire hope in students. And like all good scientists, and safety of all. Bullis faculty take necessary precautions with goggles, masks, physical distancing, clean hands—and then get into the lab! As the 2nd grade students explore the properties of the various materials to determine the best base for their tower, a discovery emerges. “You can Lower School fit one straw into another and put it through a hole in the cardboard!” says one young student, excited.

Middle School Science Teacher Chelsea Fajen’s 8th grade science seminar class faces similar challenges with materials. “This summer we thought about which labs to conduct and materials to purchase, and prepared kits to send home to students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades,” says Fajen of the collaborative effort of the Middle School science team. One day, realizing that a few of her students were missing a key ingredient for next week’s lab, she drops it off on a Friday night to the surprise and pleasure of her students and their parents. “It’s worth it to keep our lab-based curriculum alive in Middle School,” she says.

BULLIS | www.bullis.org 13 Upper School

The Upper School science squad conduct labs with students who are both in school and at home. From Physics to Food Science, Anatomy and Physiology to Biology and Chemistry, labs are happening at Bullis. Upper School teachers also created lab kits for students, distributing them on campus or dropping them off at homes. Without the regularity of previous school years and with significant extra effort, Bullis teachers are providing lab-based experiences for their students.

In Upper School Science Teacher Dr. Daniel TerBush’s Chemistry classroom, half the students work on lab notes while the other half work individually at lab tables on a conservation of matter experiment. Working solo on any experiment presents a challenge for students, but it also provides the opportunity to become self- reliant independent learners. Handling materials carefully, students repeat the lab as needed in the allotted time, refining their skills further.

In Upper School Science Teacher Dr. Badraslioglu’s Anatomy and Physiology class, students at home and in school work on dissection skills while identifying the various parts and functions of a chicken foot. Yes, Dr. B. (as he is affectionately known) sent home chicken feet. Anything for science!

Down in the physics lab, Upper School Science Teacher Rachel Stanoyevitch is preparing for a “bowling ball grand-prix” to allow students a kinesthetic feel for the concept of inertia. “Forces are a part of everyday life,” she says. “Inertia involves some complicated math, but students have no problem understanding and feeling the concept.” Top: an Upper School Anatomy and Physiology Stanoyevitch’s remote students can choose from a menu of options student dissects a chicken foot. Middle and right: for experiencing inertia: “Nickel Karate,” “Toilet Paper Roll,” “Mini bowling ball grand-prix gives Hovercraft,” the old “Cup and Tablecloth” trick, “Coin and Tumbler,” Physics students a feel for and “Pile of Books.” As in the classroom, these provide students inertia. a chance to feel and observe inertia and how it causes objects to behave.

Not all labs can be done at home. Dr. McDaniels allows her remote chemistry students to play an integral part in lab experiments by reading procedures while in-class students conduct the labs. Keeping students engaged, McDaniels calls on them to make sure they

14 BULLIS | Fall-Winter 2020-2021 are participating in the discussion, following directions, reading procedures, and answering clearly and respectfully. “Online students can check out faster,” she says. “I just have to react faster.” Students never know who will be called on next, and their teacher’s positive attitude affects all as she gets smiles and giggles from remote as well as in-class students.

Is it perfect? No. Can it be frustrating? Yes, for both students and teachers.

Lab-based, hands-on science activities are just as important now as before. Despite the challenges of distributing materials, conducting classes with fewer labs than desired, and communicating through a mask to students in class and onscreen, our teachers persevere. “Students are having fun in science and learning. They appreciate the hands-on experience we offer,” says Chelsea Fajen.

“I was able to pick up my chicken foot and do the lab at home,” says one of Dr. B’s students, while sophomore Nicholas Brazier says, “I definitely prefer making my own observations in the lab.” Despite the many challenges to teaching this year, Bullis science teachers are going above and beyond to engage students with hands-on science activities.

Getting to know our students, our families, our faculty, and our staff; supporting our teams; and setting a course for the next chapter in the Bullis story were just a few items that one might guess would top his list.

No one could have anticipated the challenges Mr. Sullivan would be forced to tackle, including the unprecedented decision of whether to let Bullis be the only school in the region to open its doors and let students attend classes in person. Certainly our community could not have foreseen that Mr. Sullivan would have to weigh potentially life or death considerations from health officials and state and local leaders that would directly impact the families and staff he was now entrusted to lead.

Fortunately, we in the Bullis community have quickly discovered no one could have navigated this challenge and helped put Bullis in a better place to succeed than Christian Sullivan. Over these short but pivotal months, Mr. Sullivan has led Bullis students and families with a determination to ensure education is a priority above all else, asking for the community to trust him and his team to open safely for the 2020-2021 academic year. Classrooms became socially distant learning tents; parent coffees became virtual conversations.

Mr. Sullivan communicates weekly with the community; has taken the time to meet with faculty and parents to understand their fears and needs; and he and his dog Freddy have become fixtures in the morning at the front gates, waving and smiling underneath his mask to welcome students at the start of the day. Since Mr. Sullivan made the decision to open School on September 8, 2020, being one of the only independent schools in Maryland to do so, his immersion into the Bullis community has already proven he is a leader and educator who is dedicated to the families and staff he serves.

Mr. Sullivan has been in education for 33 years. He was born in London, raised in Kent, and holds a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Durham, a master’s degree in educational management from the University of Bath, and a master’s degree in independent school leadership from Columbia University. He taught math, coached, and served as an administrator at independent schools in England, Kenya, Virginia, Connecticut, and Washington State. He returns to the Washington, DC area with his wife, Lisa, Top: Christian Sullivan greets arriving students on the first day of school. who was raised in Chevy Chase, Maryland and currently teaches Bottom: the Sullivan family, from left, son Matthew, wife Lisa, Christian, at National Cathedral School; daughter Lexy, a graduate student and daughter Lexy.

Now serving in his third Head of School position, while most heads have the time to get to know their community and build a vision for their School’s future, Mr. Sullivan had to jump right in. On his opening day webinar to the current Bullis parents, Mr. Sullivan immediately addressed the importance of Equity, Inclusion, and Justice at Bullis, recognizing the importance of this work and making it one of his top priorities. Mr. Sullivan is not afraid of confrontation; in fact, he seems to look forward to a challenge. After speaking with Mr. Sullivan, he shared his vision for the School:

“I am looking forward to affirming Bullis as a tremendous school, a pillar in the community. A School that lives its mission to provide a balanced education to its students, a place where they can stretch intellectually and reach their potential, where they can meet goals and have myriad opportunities to pursue passions in arts, athletics, academics, STEM. A place where kids grow and continue to accomplish in all those areas. When they leave Bullis, I want our students to have a generosity of spirit that feeds their compassion and their respect for others.”

As we enter into the second half of the School year, we will continue to face COVID-19 challenges, managing the effects it has had on academics and on the community. But we are proud that Mr. Sullivan has done such an amazing job and feel confident he will Top left: Christian commutes to his Discovery Center office; top continue to do so.

18 BULLIS | Fall-Winter 2020-2021 Focus on Equity, Inclusion, and Justice By Bobby Horsey, Elise Kohan, and Bryan Whitford, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Subcommittee Co-chairs

Bullis identifies diversity as one of its core institutional values. You will see references to this value in signs and banners around campus, and even etched into the stairs of the Discovery Center. And yet, diversity is just part of the larger equity, inclusion, and justice conversation that is taking place across the campus.

Established as a task force in Fall 2010 to analyze and address issues of diversity on the Bullis campus, this group is now a permanent committee which spearheads the equity, inclusion, and justice work at Bullis. Over the years the committee pursued these goals by hosting student conferences, hosting professional development for faculty, organizing programming for students, and reviewing curriculum. The Hybrid & Remote Learning Black Lives Matter @Bullis provides a This year the school-wide Equity, Inclusion, subcommittee will have the opportunity to space for subcommittee members to share and Justice (EIJ) Committee will modify examine education terms that were thrust their personal experiences, learn how to its approach to lend more focus on a series upon the country back in the spring and recognize biases, and accept students’ and of dedicated topics.

GATHERING TOGETHER, VIRTUALLY

On Saturday, August 29, the classes of 1960 to 1969 held a virtual reunion. A small but lively group of alumni reminisced about the Silver Spring campus, playing lacrosse with avocados in the hallways, and shared stories about their teachers and classmates. All enjoyed catching up with each other and hearing what life was like at Bullis now.

From top left, across, the happy hour welcomed: Sharon Kessler (Director of Advancement & External Affairs), Laura Tsampas (Director of Events and Alumni Engagement), Richard Hayman ’63 , Tim Simpson (Associate Head of School), Roger Daisley ’65, Michael Bresler ’64, and Gordon Nash ’67.

On Tuesday, June 23 Bullis alumni from the classes of 1961 to 2019 logged in for a virtual happy hour. It was great to see so many smiling faces from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Long Island and Reisterstown, MD.

There were lots of laughs when the graduates from the sixties shared memories from Silver Spring. More laugher happened when a memory of the 2017 senior prank of a mariachi band followed then Upper School Assistant Principal Mr. Brandon Bailey around for the day. All students, no matter the decade, had Bullis Football in their memories—from beating the Navy Prep team in 1965, to the Bullis community storming the field at Episcopal in 2011.

BULLIS STRONG AND PROUD

As I enter my fourth year at Bullis, I admire more than ever the strength, generosity, and sheer willingness of this community. Teaching or working, our faculty do so much on a daily basis on behalf of their students and the School. And parents are always there for their children and for the faculty, the School, and every activity in between. The commitment of this varied and wonderful group makes a powerful difference for our students. AIn my position of leading the fundraising efforts at Bullis, I see firsthand the ways in which the money raised supports our exceptional and innovative learning programs. This year, the Bullis Fund allowed us to seamlessly pivot to remote, then hybrid teaching and learning. It allowed us to set up impeccable safeguards and protocols to keep our community safe. It supported students and teachers with additional materials and technology. None of this would have happened without supporters like you. Director of Advancement and External Affairs Sharon Kessler One of the best aspects of Bullis is the secure knowledge that we can rely on our community to do their utmost to help students and move the school forward.
