It might sound like a trendy distraction – education is full of those right now – but let me explain. You’ve probably heard a lot about makerspaces, and the maker movement – these are hot topics in education right now, and usually involve dedicated spaces for making ‘stuff’ (that’s a word our 3rd grade team will not be happy to see me use). But at St. Mary’s, we view the maker mindset as an important, evolving component of the educational foundation taught here – the knowledge and skills we impart to girls, and the value set that is at the heart of our community. In the pages and even on the cover of this magazine, we illustrate this fourth component of a St. Mary’s education: mindset. It’s another way for us to think about how we approach teaching and learning, and it’s what sets St. Mary’s apart. The most frequently discussed mindset is the “growth mindset” defined by author Carol Dweck. When you meet an alumna who is undeterred by obstacles, confident, and still learning, that is a growth mindset at work. The “maker mindset” is the newest facet of that St. Mary’s experience. Learning a maker mindset prepares girls to shape the world they live in, using technology, writing, even sewing and painting. The maker mindset is about seeing a problem or challenge, trying a solution, then trying again. At St. Mary’s, the maker mindset starts with empathy. If we listen carefully to someone’s problem, we might just be able to solve it. In other words, the knowledge set, skill set, and mindset are motivated and informed by the value set. That is the interconnected experience that makes St. Mary’s unique. Are you a maker? What kind of world would you like to see? Those are the questions our students have begun to ponder, along with their teachers and the leaders of the school, including the Board of Trustees. I hope you’ll join us. The world needs all the makers it can get! Sincerely, Head of School A maker moment of his own: Albert Throckmorton as Daddy Warbucks sings with Annie, Sophie Younker ’23, in the Lower School production of Annie, Jr. WINTER 2015 | 3 THE MAKER MINDSET: A New Way of Learning at St. Mary’s By Leanne Kleinmann Yes, she ended up with a design that the surgeons ap- Here was the problem: proved, but that’s not the most interesting part of this story.

But it also involved learning, new ideas, and fun. Pooja Moolchandani ’15 explains her redesigned forceps to Natalie Dean ’15. 4 | ST. MARY’S EPISCOPAL SCHOOL “The most frustrating part was learning how to use Creo, the design software (which we also have at St. Mary’s). Using the software to make the forceps took countless hours and a ton of help from Ms. Brinkman, my Medtronic mentor,” says Moolchandani. “Tapering the tips can be done in many ways, but I had to find the way that would work with my specific project design.” As Moolchandani gave her final presentation, with Medtronic engineer Jennifer Brinkman in the room, her sense of accomplishment, and her excitement about what she’d figured out was palpable. “The most satisfying part was hold- ing the final product in my hands, knowing I created that,” she said. “Finally, I knew that all my hard work had a purpose.” Shannon Bettis gives her 6th grade math class pointers in sewing pillowcases that provide hands-on lessons in measuring and calculating. Leading a Culture she says, which means the learning might be different for each girl, and the end result isn’t always clear at the beginning. In many ways, St. Mary’s has “At the end of a class or workshop, not always been a maker culture. everyone’s going to be leaving with the St. Mary’s girls are taught to keep same thing,” she says. This kind of learning trying, to look at problems from can also unlock success for girls who have different directions, and to ask for struggled with more traditional methods, help.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.

  • Wardlaw Family
    GENEALOGY OF THE WARDLAW FAMILY WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF OTHER FAMILIES WITH WHICH IT IS CONNECTED DATE MICROFILM GENEALOGICAL DEPARTMENT ITEM ON ROLL CAMERA NO CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS CATALOGUE NO. iKJJr/? 7-/02 ^s<m BY JOSEPH G. WARDLAW EXPLANATION OF CHARACTERS The letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H denote the generations beginning with Robert (Al). The large figures indicate the heads of families, or those especially mentioned in their generation. Each generation begins with 1 and continues in regular sequence. The small figures show number, according to birth, in each particular family. Children dying in infancy or early youth are not mentioned again in line with their brothers and sisters. As the work progressed, new material was received, which, in some measure, interfered with the plan above outlined. Many families named in the early generations have been lost in subsequent tracing, no information being available. By a little examination or study of the system, it will be found possible to trace the lineage of any person named in the book, through all generations back to Robert (Al). PREFACE For a number of years I mave been collecting data con­ cerning the Wardlaw and allied families. The work was un­ dertaken for my own satisfaction and pleasure, without thought of publication, but others learning of the material in my hands have urged that it be put into book form. I have had access to MSS. of my father and his brothers, Lewis, Frank and Robert, all practically one account, and presumably obtained from their father, James Wardlaw, who in turn doubtless received it from his father, Hugh.

    Clan KENNEDY ARMS Argent, a chevron Gules between three cross crosslets fitchée Sable, all within a double tressure flory counterflory Gules CREST A dolphin naiant Proper MOTTO Avise la fin (Consider the end) SUPPORTERS Two swans Proper, beaked and membered Gules Cunedda, a chieftain of the Votdini tribe of Lothian, was sent by the Saxon leader, Vortigern, to southwest Scotland to establish settlements intended to resist Picto-Scottish sea raids. These settlements spread down the west coast as far as north Wales. In the Celtic language, Cunedda was rendered as Cunneidigh (meaning ugly or grim- headed), and the name gradually became especially associated with the district of Carrick in Ayrshire. Gilbert Mac Kenedi witnessed a charter granting lands in Carrick to the abbey at Melrose in the early part of the reign of William the lion, while Gillespie Kennedy is named as senechal of Carrick in charters during the reign of Alexander II. The Kennedys claimed blood kinship with the Earls of Carrick and supported Bruce in the War of Independence. They were rewarded when Robert II confirmed John Kennedy of Dunure as chief of his name and Baillie of Carrick in 1372. His direct descendent, Gilbert was created Lord Kennedy around 1457 and was one of the regents of the infant James III. A brother of the first Lord Kennedy, James Kennedy, was one of Scotland’s best-loved bishops. He served briefly as High Chancellor of Scotland and was Bishop of Dunkeld, and later Archbishop of St Andrews. At St Andrews he founded St Salvator’s College in 1455.
