SPRING 2001 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • I FROM THE INTERIM HEAD O F SCHOOLt|j|s A Year in the Life of PDS It is an honor to be a small part...

HIS HAS BEEN A YEAR in the life of a school which prides itself upon tradition and change; upon reflection and growth; upon focus and openness. PDS is the place where you learned how T to appreciate and live each of these values through the guidance of your teachers and family and "...through through your own unbridled enthusiasm for learning by ‘pushing the envelope’ to its fullest. You have continued this year—alumni, parents of alumni, and friends of the PDS community— to honor these values by providing opportunities for faculty enrichment which, in turn, translate into your own student enrichment. I look forward this spring to determining, in consultation with the division heads, which faculty will be selected on the basis of their application to receive the following awards: unbridled • Established in 1995, the Robert C. Whitlock Award for Distinguished Teaching is the school’s highest honor for faculty. This annual award of up to $2,700 will be presented at commencement to that faculty member who best demonstrates the exceptional teaching skills, devotion to enthusiasm students, courtesy, zeal for knowledge and pursuit of excellence that were the hallmarks of Mr. Whitlock’s forty-two-year teaching career. • Established in 1995, in memory of David C. Bogle, who devoted seventeen years of service to for PDS, this award of up to $8,500 is granted to a faculty member whose proposal clearly advances the pursuit of teaching excellence. Past recipients will be involved in reviewing nominations. learning..." • Established in 1987, the Johnston Faculty Enrichment Award underwrites professional develop­ ment grant of up to $3,600 for a faculty member to enrich professional expertise and students’ classroom experiences. • Established in 2000, the Ostro Grant For Interdisciplinary Education is an award of up to $2,600 to support an outstanding opportunity to enrich the school’s teaching curriculum through the integration of two or more disciplines. The faculty recipient(s) is required to give a presentation to colleagues about what is learned through the interdisci­ plinary offering and how it will strengthen the program at PDS. • Established in 2000, the Rosenberg Science Grant Program provides a grant of up to $2,000 to a middle or upper school science teacher whose proposal has the greatest potential for effectively and directly strengthening the school’s science education program. As in the Ostro Grant the recipient will give a presentation to colleagues. An expression of our core values through the establishment and support of these awards is emblematic of the emphasis we place on Incoming Head of School continual growth and change. It is likewise recognition of the impor­ Dr. Judith R. Fox (left) tance of establishing traditions which remind us of and reinforce those and Interim Head of School Judith R.
