Kirki Thompson

Kirki Thompson, a Spanish teacher at Pingree, is an artist by hobby. She says, “When there is a snow day, vacation week, travel time over the summer, or spare weekends, I grab the time. Sometimes I paint on the spot — plein air — it’s called, if the weather cooperates, and sometimes I paint in a workshop.”

He is repesented by Etherington Fine An interview with History teacher Ned Jackson Art, in Vineyard Haven, MA. BY SAMANTHA MARKOWSKI ’93 Q: How long have you been teaching and what subject?

A: I teach history. This is my first year at Pingree, but I taught for three years prior in Shrewsbury High School.

Q: How does your teaching style change from class to class?

A: I teach four classes and all different grades, so my style definitely changes to suit the age groups and levels of knowledge. With the freshmen, I really just try to get them interested in the subject, and there is a bit more hand holding than with the older students. There is more depth to my upper level classes, I can ask more probing questions and put more of a burden on them to search out the answers.

Q: Do you have any plans to develop new courses?

A: I have, actually! This year, I developed a senior elective course called The History of American Music. I have 16 students and the goal of the class is to use music as a lens to gain a better understanding on the time period we are studying. We’ve studied songs of slavery, sea shanties, ragtime, blues, jazz, British ballads, right up to The Beatles and the British Invasion. It’s been a great experience.

Q: Why did you become a teacher?

A: I was greatly influenced by a professor who taught an education class I was in about half- way through my college career. I decided that I wanted to be able to share my knowledge and impart a love of learning in others. I also really wanted to have balance in my life and being a teacher allows me to have the time to spend with family or pursue other interests that make me a more well-rounded person, and better able to teach with perspective. continues on page 15 8 www.pingree.org SPRING/SUMMER 2007 9 creativity. creativity.

Andrew Vassallo ’06

This sculpture was created by Andrew Vassallo ’06, currently a student at the University of Richmond. He worked on several pieces in a studio art sculpture class during his first semester and also studied art history. During his second semester he was admitted to a senior seminar entitled Site SpecificA rt and Installation. In this seminar he collaborated on a series of temporary, site-specific installations that were erected in spaces on campus, outside of the museum or gallery context. The emphasis was on embracing and comprehending the unusual parameters of an alternative space, and learning to use what may seem to be restrictions in such a way so that the elements inform the work and actually become a part of it.

Q: Talk about how you integrate your outside interests into your coursework?

A: I use a lot of images, a lot of slideshows and a lot of music. Early in the semester we were studying the Jim Crow laws, and I used different images of segregated black and white schools in the south during that time, and played some blues music along with the images. It told the story far better than I could have, and the students really connected.

Q: Is there something you’ve learned through Lily Carey ’08 photography that you carry into the classroom?

A: I think the greatest gift I’ve learned through my photography is Erika Mitkus ’08 patience. Knowing that the light might not always be where you want it to be, you’ve got to keep going back to the same spot till you get it. You can use that same philosophy with learning.

Following the morning classes, our guests enjoyed a musical performance in the Mary Weld Pingree Center for the Performing Arts, and then were treated to a cookout lunch with their grand- children under the tent in the Hedge Garden.

Reunions 2007 was a night to remember! From the 40th Reunion Class of 1967 to the 5th Reunion Class of 2002, well over 100 alumni returned to campus to reconnect, reminisce and celebrate their Pingree Reunions. The cocktail receptions at Jane Riley’s ’77, p ’05 home, the Library and in the Academic Center were lively and full of good cheer. For alumni who have not been back to campus for a few years (or maybe more!) the Academic Center was an amazing sight — state-of-the-art, spacious and inviting – truly unbelievable!

The celebration tent tucked in the Hedge Garden provided an open space for dinner and music. Eric Peikin, Class of 2001 was our D.J. and slideshow creator.

Many thanks to all the alumni who volunteered to serve on the Reunion Committees and for their help with contacting their classmates. Judging from these pictures – with many alumni donning their new Pingree straw hats – it’s safe to say a good time was had by all!

Dear Fellow Alumni,

It is amazing to me that I am sitting down to write my last Alumni Leadership Board (ALB) article for the Pingree Bulletin. These past three years as ALB Presi- dent have gone by so quickly probably because we have been busy accomplishing so much. I joined the ALB back in 1995 when it was called the Pingree Alumni Council. I had just graduated from Union College and was eager to give back to the school that had given me so much. Six years ago, I began serving on the Council as Vice President and three years ago when we changed the Co-chairs Carol Vallone p ’08, Ed Halsted p ’08, name to the Alumni Leadership Board, I became its President. At that time, and Jackie Harriss p ’06, ’08 with Diana Mathey p ’01, Math teacher and Prep@Pingree we had some new faces in the Pingree Advancement Office and together we ’04, ’09, and Peter M. Cowen Guest enjoy dinner under the tent director Steve Filosa decided to make significant changes in how we reach out to engage Pingree Alumni. Our goal was to help our alums reconnect both with the School and with each other. Through our efforts with the Senior Career Seminars, re- gional cocktail parties, holiday events in Boston, family skating at Pingree, and improved reunion events we hope you have felt a stronger connection to your school and some of your oldest and dearest friends.
