“Penikese Offers You the Choice Between Two Worlds. One Is a Place Where You Can Always Find Someone Other Than Yourself to Blame for Your Troubles

“Penikese offers you the choice between two worlds. One is a place where you can always find someone other than yourself to blame for your troubles. It is a place where what you do and where you go is decided for you by the various agencies that our society created to manage the lives of the people who cannot make it on their own. When you live in this world you can have no real friends since everyone there cares only about himself.

The other world is a place where people accept the responsibility for their own lives. Here a man is measured against the values of honesty, compassion, and the courage to do what is right instead of what is easiest.

This is the world we hope Penikese will convince you to choose for yourself.”

From a school brochure, circa 1975, by George Cadwalader.

Penikese at 30 Years

30 years is an extraordinary accomplishment for any small non-profit because, like small businesses, so many come and quickly go. Penikese’s longevity and prosperity is all the more remarkable given its challenges: sharing its Woods Hole home base with several larger, prestigious and acclaimed missions, working with an extremely difficult population, and no less, serving as a private school in an ever-shifting operating climate over which it has little control.

Given these tests, Penikese has more than held its own thanks to the vision and tenacity of its selfless and talented staff and loyal supporters. In fact, Penikese has fared far better: after years of striving, the school has finally pulled itself over the bar to reach a new level of strength, capability and influence. Now 30 years old, the Penikese Island School is a compelling and successful mission worthy of its growing recognition.

Finances

Penikese closed another successful year in the black, still growing but prudently so thanks to Penikese’s capable Finance Committee (page 4), led by Dick King, Treasurer. (For a financial report, please see page 5.)

The Physical Plant

In 2003, Penikese accomplished two major improvements to its physical plant by rebuilding the 30-year old chimney in the Saltbox and constructing the new Pole Barn storage shed. The former project was quite an undertaking, involving moving over 5 tons of construction material by barge to Penikese Island, and then by wheelbarrow and tractor uphill to the house, all in sweltering August heat! Hats off go to Captain Bill Rogers and Assistant Director David Ellison for shepherding this project through to completion.

Census and Enrollment

Penikese had its busiest year in recent memory, operating at 94% of capacity. Although public funding for at-risk youth continues to shrink each year, Penikese has managed to keep busy by carving its niche working with the most difficult to place boys, 16 or 17 years old and without family resources, headed for independent living, and looking to Penikese’s Aftercare to support their transition from institutional care to young adulthood.

Programs

The Tie That Binds The centerpiece of what we do on Penikese is build relationships with boys who don’t know how to or want them in the first place. The key is choices, which like fusion energy, bind and propel everything on Penikese but the Wood Shop machinery. We teach our students that everyone has choices to make in the quality of our relationships: the way I behave toward you influences the way you feel about me and the way that you will treat me in return. From beginning to end, our treatment emphasis is on recognizing and making choices. The following five chapters taken from case examples illustrate the choices Penikese’s students must make at critical junctures throughout their program.

1. Choosing Penikese by Pam Brighton

No boy is admitted to Penikese unless he Looking up from the photos, he asked, chooses to come. The boys referred to us “Are there any stores out there?” tend to have a slim menu to pick from (jail, another residential program, or Penikese), but “No. We are the only people out there. a choice is still a choice, without There are lots of birds.” which transformational treatment cannot begin.

4. Preparing for Graduation by Shawn Barber

Justin was bombing on the island, and the staff was fed up. They’d had enough of his behavior so unbecoming of a student about to graduate, and it seemed the pull of the relationship was not enough to get him back on track. Like many students, Justin thought the arrival of his magical 18th birthday would solve all his problems. But now, after years of shirking his choices and responsibilities, the reality of soon turning eighteen had Justin completely freaked out.

Justin claimed that he cared about his fate, but only showed staff that he was far more concerned with the next opportunity to get over on them. When confronted Justin would say, “I don’t have these problems on the ‘outs,’ only with you staff and this program,” a Two days later we received an e-mail of thanks common dodge we had heard hundreds of from his mother, which read, in part: times before.

The academic program seeks to provide students with skills that will continue to serve them well, long after they leave. These include the ability to read, write, reason, and empathize. These skills stick because the association with learning has been positive and empowering. They help a boy answer the question “Can I do it?” in the affirmative.

For thirty years, reading has been a popular pastime on Penikese Island. In current practice, there is a concerted effort to make it a regular and enjoyable activity. Every school day begins with 45 minutes of silent reading, from a book of one’s choice. Because many students elect to spend free time reading, it is not unusual for students to graduate having read 50 books in 9 months. Last Wednesday I went out to the island to check on a new student, whose prognosis for success at the time of placement had not been optimistic. To my delight, he announced proudly that he had just finished reading his first book ever, and that he had seven more that he For questions about wanted to read lined up on the shelf in his room. “Well how do you explain that?” I asked. His Penikese’s educational response: “You people have such great books out here! “ I spend considerable time and effort programs, contact keeping that supply fresh, exciting, and appropriate. A recent visitor to the island remarked, Virginia Root, Special “everywhere I look I see a book I want to take off the shelf and read.” Education Director at [email protected]; 508-548-7276, x201. I am equally pleased with our efforts in math. Because our materials and approach are methodi- cal and accessible, the daily success is empowering. Whether a student’s past experience with the subject has been positive (not often) or downright phobic (often) most are eventually able to succeed. In addition to it being a good thing to know a bit of algebra, the experience of mastering this subject teaches that success can be had through daily incremental efforts, a concept foreign to many of our impulsive students, who want it all now.

When it comes to helping students develop their writing skills, we use the advantage that these skills can be immediately applicable to a student’s personal interests. The boys have corresponded with girl- friends, written to a parent in prison, applied to the Department of Social Services to request continued services, and most recently, to express regrets to parents for “all the trouble I have caused you.”

Classroom exercises are designed to help students imagine what it is like to be at another place, in another time, or in another’s shoes, as well as to exercise imagination and humor. A recent assignment asked students to imagine themselves on a battlefield of WWII and write a letter home. “Dear Father”, began one letter, which went on to describe details of the battlefield but suddenly switched to a vivid account of a surprise attack occurring at the moment, by a German platoon. Then suddenly, in mid sentence, our hero was hit in the head by a bullet, as evidenced by a pool of “blood-red” ink spilling over the paper. Yes, they do get right into it!

My goal for the entire curriculum continues to be that a student’s time in school is interesting and enjoyable, academically fruitful, personally meaningful, and ultimately useful. Feedback that we are meeting these goals comes from the school liaisons that express appreciation for this work, the students who enjoy coming to school, and our success with the dreaded MCAS. Last year our pass rate was 100%!

Director’s note: Virginia will be retiring from Penikese in June 2004. We can think of no more fitting cap to her already extraordinary career in education than her accomplishments at Penikese to strengthen the school’s academic program, the reading program in particular. Join us in extending our deepest gratitude and best wishes to Virginia as she sails away from Penikese, her labor of greatest love. The School and we are far for the better than when she first arrived.

14 The Wildlife Sanctuary

Today:

30 Years Ago: “Early in July we obtained permission from Mr. James Shepard, the Director of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Game to base a school on Penikese Island, located approximately one mile north of Cuttyhunk in Buzzards Bay. Our request was an unprecedented one, and we are greatly indebted to Mr. Shepard for going out on a limb to let us use the island. He gave his permission contingent on our presence being compatible with the Island’s primary function as a wildlife refuge.”

— from Penikese Island School, Annual Report, 1973

15 Reflections from Penikese’s Founder, George Cadwalader

As a part of our 30th anniversary celebration, we invited Founding Director George Cadwalader to share his reflections in the 2003 Annual Report. We are grateful to George for his willingness to do so. Since 1973, as all successful organizations must, Penikese has changed and grown. Today we benefit from 30 years of experience and advances in the field not available to visionaries such as George back then. But what has not and will never change are the very things so forcefully captured below: the island’s magic and beauty, the dominant sense of community and family, and the importance of bedrock values. With these, Penikese will always be strongest where it counts most, at its core first built by George and his founding staff 30 years ago.

In 1973 the MA Department of Youth Services I don’t think any of us at the time could have (DYS) was in chaos. The Legislature had been articulated precisely why Penikese worked the forced to vote the closing of the State’s magic that it so obviously did. We were baffled antiquated system of training schools and at first by the self-destructive behavior that had replace them instead with what was intended led our charges into trouble, and it was only to become a network of community based after we’d come to recognize that their chaotic privately run alternatives operating under childhoods had left them with no guide to contract to the Department.
