    Benefit Early Steps Celebration 30th Anniversary Thursday, May 18, 2017 The University Club New York, NY Early Steps 540 East 76th Street • New York, NY 10021 www.earlysteps.org • 212.288.9684 Horace Mann School and all of our Early Steps students and families, past and present, join in celebrating Early Steps’ 30 Years as A Voice for Diversity in NYC Independent Schools Letter from our Director Dear Friends, For nearly three decades, it has been my joy and re- sponsibility to guide the parents of children of color through the process of applying to New York City in- dependent schools for kindergarten and first grade, helping them to realize their hopes and dreams for their children. While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’S Island Park
    REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’s Island Park, Thank you for your interest in Randall’s Island Park. As Co-Chairs of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) Board of Trustees, we invite you to enjoy our 2013-2014 Review. RIPA’s continued success in reaching our goals comes through the great work and generosity of our many partners and supporters – a true Alliance in support of the Park’s programs, fields, facilities and natural areas. You will find in the following pages photos and acknowledgements of the many local program partners, donors, volunteers, elected officials and City and State agencies who have helped to bring us to this point. We are especially grateful to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for extraordinary support and guidance throughout our successful partnership of more than 20 years. Following its recent transformation, Randall’s Island Park’s visibility continues to grow, and more and more New Yorkers are visiting its shores. Our fellow Board Members, challenged and inspired by what the Park can be, continue to contribute countless hours and crucial support. In 2014 the Board undertook a comprehensive plan for improvement and expansion of our free public programs. Visits to the Island have nearly doubled in recent years, to approximately 3 million! We expect our increased free programming will continue to expand our universe of visitors and friends. Many thanks to these millions of fans who visit and who compliment the Park through positive feedback on our social media, sharing photos and observations, and who help us to grow our Alliance every day.

  • Rising Above the Rancor: a Letter to Students at an Historic Moment
    Rising Above the Rancor: A Letter to Students at an Historic Moment Dear Students, Over the last eight months, your world has utterly changed. You are living through a moment in history that may well prove pivotal to the future of our world, our nation, and our city. You are bearing witness to an unprecedented set of interlocking and cascading crises, and many of you are telling us that you have lost trust in some of our leaders–locally, nationally, and globally. There is no getting around it: you are coming of age in an extraordinarily turbulent moment in history. Yet as educators, we are in the business of developing deeply optimistic futures. Your futures. To be sure, there is difficult work ahead. But nothing truly worthwhil e comes easily. As the Nobel Peace Prize winning South African theologian Desmond Tutu said: “ Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness." Practicing hope allows us to harness the energy of hardships and tragedies and transform them into generative possibilities for the future. Our world needs you to care deeply, engage wholeheartedly, and commit to action fueled with hope in order to build a better future. We want to do all we can to make this happen for you—not after you graduate, but right now. In a year marked by intense political rancor, we write to you to remind you of a simple truism: hope in the face of adversity spurs collective action. Democracy only works when we all commit ourselves to it. Think about how high those stakes are.

  • Trends in Urban School Design by Ima Dezina
    Schooldesigner, LLC April 2009 Trends in Urban School Design By Ima Dezina “For schools to achieve effective facilities, stakeholders have to assess their challenges, set a plan to resolve those challenges, and build a program,” says Joel K. Sims, AIA, president of Sims Architects, Lancaster, Pa. “As numerous schools work through this process, trends start to be noted from school to school.” Indeed, trends in school design come and go, just as they do in the fashion industry. Here’s a Grace Church School | New York, NY fresh look at trends in urban school design. Quality Reigns “It has been a gradual build up but, unquestionably, it is really important to have high-quality design,” says Jacob Alspector, RA, principal of New York-based Alspector Architecture. “It has become the norm.” Indeed, he points out a time in the past when the reigning attitude was simply, “Let’s get it done.” Not any more. Peter Winebrenner, AIA, LEED AP, principal and vice president of Baltimore-based Hord Coplan Macht, agrees, pointing out a specific factor that has to be addressed on the road to high- quality design: the tough decision between rehabilitating and building new. “There is pressure in working toward LEED Grace Church School | New York, NY The Schooldesigner is a monthly e-newsletter published by Schooldesigner.com.

  • GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD of SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 Gcschool.Org
    GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD OF SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 gcschool.org Mission Statement Grace Church School aims to establish in its students firmly rooted confidence in themselves and their abilities. Because we believe that school experience sets the foundation for lifelong intellectual and social growth, we strive to develop in each student mental keenness, physical confidence, pleasure in learning, and the skills basic to understanding one’s self and the world. Our structured curriculum, enriched with broad opportunities for creative expression, assumes as fundamental the mastery of a specific range of academic skills, especially the ability to express one’s own ideas and to appraise those of others. Yet the educational goals of the school are broader than intellectual and social development. We nurture in our students a steady, affectionate trust in themselves and their world, made resilient by the interaction of different ethnic, religious, and socio-economic influences. We strive to help each student develop an active ethical consciousness, supported by close acquaintance with Judeo- Christian beliefs and enhanced by the beauty and faith inherent in Grace Church. We encourage a mutually supportive relationship between family and school. We aim to have students graduate from Grace Church School with a strong sense of self, able to think clearly, function well academically, and embrace coming challenges with confidence. OVERVIEW For over a century, Grace Church School has been enriching its students’ lives by weaving tenets of the Episcopal school tradition—social justice, community engagement, ethics, and personal integrity—into a rigorous, thoughtfully evolved curriculum. Families who join Grace do so because the school offers an outstanding academic experience within an inclusive, diverse, and accepting community.
