The courses will further develop the core Bullis academic values of collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and resourcefulness.

Bullis faculty spent the last year taking their own risks, incorporating their outside expertise, interests, and passions to create an extraordinary array of courses: nine in Lower School, 14 in Middle School, and 34 in Upper School.

4 BULLIS | Fall-Winter 2018-2019 For Lower School students, teachers Jeff Alexander, 1st grade, and Jennifer Houston, 5th grade, designed On the Move on the C&O Canal: Bike, Paddle & Hike so students might develop a better understanding of the human and natural history of the C&O Canal. “We will have the momentum of several days in a row on the same topic rather than the typical start and stop of a regular school day schedule,” says Alexander.

“I knew right away that I wanted to build a course in which children would ride bicycles on some of the local trails because this has been something that my own kids have enjoyed so much over the years,” Jennifer Houston says.

Upper School 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will spend the last two weeks of the year immersed in their Discovery Days courses. Metro Area Modern Art (MAMA) was designed to encourage students to develop and refine their own artistic aesthetic by exploring local art museums and galleries. Upper School math teacher Matt Zimmer and Spanish teacher Hilary Vellenga teamed up to design the course.

Across Bullis, teachers report that this planning and design process has tapped a different type of energy that has fueled the design and excitement around the launch of Discovery Days.

“It was fascinating to find colleagues with similar interests,” says Matt Zimmer. “It was a great experience to realize how interconnected we are. Hilary and I had different perspectives that supplemented each other. One of us would share an idea which would spark an idea in the other. The conversation just spiraled from there. Learning and creating at the same time is a great experience.”

We can’t wait to share this energy with Bullis students this spring as we all try something new together and dive deep into Discovery Days!

Faculty photos represent teachers engaged in deep conversations and exploration of innovative approaches in the early stages of planning Discovery Days. Other images, from the course catalog, depict a sampling of course offerings.

BULLIS | www.bullis.org 11 Encouraging Your Young Artist How to Foster Problem-Solving and Independence in Young Children

Crayons Chalk Clay Paints Paper Markers Glitter and glue Parents know these and other art materials inspire young artists in their homes. What they may not know is that while their children live in the moment, dabbling in clay or finger-paint, they are learning important and transferable skills.

Research shows that fostering creativity through art play builds mental, emotional, social and physical development, in addition to its ample educational benefit. Fine motor coordination, spatial understanding, math concepts, scientific experimentation, the ability to analyze, self-confidence—can all begin with happy artistic messes on the kitchen table.

“A child raised with creativity develops problem-solving skills, independence, and the ability to make choices,” says Kelsey Donegan, Middle and Upper School visual arts teacher, and one of 15 faculty members in the Visual and Performing Arts department. “It’s important for them to learn that it’s okay to try something new, to mess up, and find a way to work through it.”

Lindy Russell-Heymann, who teaches Lower School visual arts, sees a difference between children who enter Lower School having had lots of hands-on art activity at home—and those who have had less creative time. “Children who explore art at home bring that creativity to school with them,” she says. “They learn to think through using their hands making art, solving puzzles with raw materials.” Donegan agrees. “Art is about experimentation, and kids learn a willingness to try something new in other areas.”

12 BULLIS | Fall-Winter 2018-2019 Encouraging Your Young Artist

Bullis visual arts department shares some tips to encourage young artists:

Make art supplies accessible. Store art materials in an area where children feel free to use them. “Art can be messy, but let kids know that is okay—and teach them to clean up when they’re done,” Russell-Heymann says. “Self-driven art play helps them feel free to think and explore.”

Think outside the box. This can be literal: boxed kits, toys, and games are great teaching tools, but are often outcome-driven and adult-led. That can limit natural creativity, says Russell-Heymann.

Provide unexpected materials. Beyond designated art materials, keep an assortment of odds and ends and found objects like fabric, Art exploration at younger boxes and papers, sponges, bottle caps, twigs, stones, leaves, ages continues to benefit older shells, etc. Nontraditional materials can inspire and encourage children too, says Donegan. children to coordinate their hands and their minds. “Kids love “While it’s never too late to to make things,” Russell-Heymann says. “Letting them use their cultivate skills, Middle School imaginations in new ways can lead to great art exploration.” Be students who have been prepared to go through lots of tape. “Tape is magic for kids!” encouraged in artistic problem solving earlier are more Get involved. Young children enjoy when parents make art with confident and eager to try new them. Have fun. “If you’re being creative alongside them without things. Those who haven’t had being attached to an end result artwork, that can be a very positive much experience need time to experience for both,” Russell-Heymann says. loosen up. What kids find scary about art,” she continues, “is that there’s no right answer.” Establish a “Genius Hour.” One highlight of Lindy Russell-

Going through whatever materials are at hand. Experimenting with a fresh various art processes helps idea, they build and make some remarkable things. “It can go in children learn to problem solve amazing and delightful directions,” she says. in other areas as well. “Art helps the brain to grow in more thorough ways,” Donegan says.

HOMECOMING BRINGS ALUMNI BACK TO CAMPUS

A crisp fall evening was the perfect setting for welcoming Bullis alumni back to campus for our annual alumni tailgate and Homecoming football game. As alumni and their families poured into the Athletic Center for the tailgate, many said they were overcome with such intense feelings of nostalgia—being back at Bullis, stepping into the gym and over to the stadium for the football game—all so reminiscent of their time as students here at the Big B.

A special highlight of the evening was welcoming back many former staff members to join the festivities, including Bill White, Laurie Mufson, Michael DelGrande, Susan Spingler Sweeney, Wayne Ferrell, Cedric Boatman, Ed Wright, Larry Bullis ’54, and Judy Bullis, all of whom worked at Bullis during the 1980s and/or 1990s. This year, we had the pleasure of inducting three alumni into the Athletics Hall of Fame:

Ted Kukowski ’49 was a three-sport athlete, lettering in football, basketball, and baseball during his two years at Bullis. He was voted Outstanding Athlete in 1949, and went on to play football for one year at the United States Naval Academy and three years at Syracuse University, before being drafted by the National Football League’s New York Giants.

Safi Mojidi ’04 had an illustrious basketball career at Bullis, as a three-year starter, a member of three ISL AA division championship teams, being named to the All-Decade team in 2009 by The Montgomery Journal, among many other accolades. Safi played collegiately at the University of Rhode Island and was named Women’s Basketball Player of the Year, the University’s Female Collegiate Athlete of the Year, and named to the Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball Legends class of 2016.

Brad Ross ’04 made a strong impact on Bullis athletics as a three- year letter winner in lacrosse and football. For lacrosse, Brad was a two-time All-County and All-State selection as well as an All- American selection, in addition to being a C. Markland Kelly award finalist for the best player in the state of Maryland. Brad had an impressive collegiate career at Duke University, where he helped lead the team to three ACC titles. Following graduation, Brad was drafted by Major League Lacrosse to the Toronto Nationals and later to the Boston Cannons.

CLASS OF 1998 GATHERS AFTER 20 YEARS

Bullis spirit reigned high at Homecoming and continued the next day on Saturday, October 13, when the class of 1983 gathered for their 35 year reunion and the class of 1998 celebrated their 20 year reunion.

A dozen members from the class of ’83 gathered at the home of Kevin ’84 and Cyndi Bullis Vasco ’83 (see photo on previous page), where they shared a lot of laughs looking through old editions of Roll Call yearbook and reminiscing about attending Bullis in the early 80s during a transformational time at the School, when the School first included female students.

To commemorate the 20 years that have passed since their graduation from Bullis, members from the class of ’98 reunited at the home of Jackie (Rosenblatt) Blanken ’98 and her husband Bryan, for delicious food and an evening of sharing old memories and renewed friendships.

Alumni enjoyed great conversation and delicious food during their reunion. From far left, Mark Ma ’98, Rachel Pollack ’98, Kelly Paul ’98, Sanam Toufanian ’98, Anna (Buffone) Hurst ’98, Melissa Sherman ’98, Neal Rosenthal, and Corey Feldman ’90.

This fall, a recent project by the Bethesda-based architect and his firm, Rill Architects, was featured in Home & Design magazine. The cover story, “7 Dream Homes,” (www.homeanddesign. com/2018/08/25/beach- balm) looks at the complete renovation that Rill and his firm did for a Gibson Island property. Working within the home’s original footprint, the team added a screened-in porch to create a gathering space, and converted a vaulted ceiling into a child’s loft-area bedroom.

2017-2018 PERSPECTIVES: ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL | Tim Simpson

A LIFELONG INVESTMENT

Each fall, Bullis School hosts annual open house events to welcome families interested in considering a Bullis education for their children. Faculty, staff, and students warmly greet visitors and speak with enthusiasm about the School. Open houses also give us a chance to consider our school from an outside perspective. That fresh viewpoint takes me beyond my administrative role and even my role as a Bullis parent. As I look at this beautiful campus, with its state-of-the-art buildings and classrooms, its energized, experienced Efaculty, and confident, articulate students, I see an impressive school that is building in superb ways toward the future. I see what I hope all new and current families see too: Bullis School is one of the most important investments any family can make.

Many of us devote time, thoughts, inspiration, caring, and resources to Bullis, and the benefits are lifelong. Our children make incredible strides here, learning and developing as individuals who can make a Tim Simpson, pictured with his advisee, Jay Pendarvis ’20, learns about new tools in the Gerald L. Boarman Discovery difference in their classrooms, among peers, and in the wider world. Center’s Makerspace. Our school provides unparalleled educational resources and exciting challenges and opportunities. Our community is close-knit and supportive.

Bullis is an investment in a journey as well as a destination. Take a “An investment in a journey moment to talk with your children, with alumni, with teachers and staff. You will feel the spark that Bullis continually inspires—the energy, passion, curiosity, and dedication to learning and growth that as well as a destination.” infuses this school and its people. No better investment exists than your child, and the assets their school and teachers bring to them and to your family.

As you look through the pages of our Annual Report, please know how grateful we are to each and every investor who devotes time, resources, and energy to Bullis. The returns, I am sure you will find, are exponential.

Sincerely,

Assistant Head of School Advancement and Enrollment Management
