LAMPPOST 7 CoverStory A TRANSFORMATIVE PARTNERSHIP The farm animals are a visitor’s first clue that The Lamplighter School in Dallas is unique. At recess, the private Pre-K to fourth-grade school’s students stray from the playground and over to the chicken coop, where a plumed, burgundy-feathered rooster struts around and calls out. A pig trots around her pen while a cow rests in the shade. The goats can’t seem to stop climbing up to the top of their barn.

The animals are essential to Lamplighter’s holistic approach to education. Fourth- graders care for the hens and collect, package, and sell their eggs. Potatoes from the school’s garden and hydroponic plants used in a study for science class go into the students’ soups and salads. Fourth- grade literacy teacher Jody Stout says the school is always looking to innovate. “Lamplighter has always encouraged teachers to think outside the box in support of strategies to advance the mission,” she says.

In the last two years, that has meant expanding maker education in the school’s curriculum. In maker education, students learn skills and content by designing and creating tangible, sharable objects. Head of School Dr. Joan Hill says, “The reason maker education is so important to us is that it fits with Lamplighter’s longstanding approach to learning. Maker education How The Lamplighter School Used Maker Education and Design Thinking allows students to have agency over their own learning. And at the end of the day, what we really want at Lamplighter is for to Challenge Itself at a Pivotal Moment in Its History students to become independent, to think critically, to ask questions, and to be able to answer those questions.” These questions led the school to forge a found that that SMU Maker Education multi-year partnership with the SMU Maker Project team members “would be the Lamplighter also added a new 10,000- Education Project team that Hill describes perfect partners because they understood square-foot building: The Lamplighter as “transformative” for the school. the tenets of progressive education.

LAMPPOST 13 Entrepreneurial Spirit

Entrepreneurial spirit is a mindset. It’s an attitude and approach to thinking that actively seeks out change rather than waiting to adapt to change. It’s a mindset that embraces critical questioning, innovation, service, and continuous improvement. At Lamplighter, this mindset begins with our youngest learners in Pre-K, culminates with our fourth-grade Seniors, and empowers our young alumni to continue the path of entrepreneurial spirit into the future.

Led and run by Lamplighter’s youngest alums (5th through 12th graders), the Car Wash is one of the highlights of the school year. The 2017 Car Wash Chair was Emma Siegel ’09, a senior at The Hockaday School.

Emma gathered alums representing nine different schools in the metroplex. By meeting at Lamplighter monthly during the spring semester, alums had the opportunity to reconnect with each other, the School, and meet new alums. “We realized that even though many of us attended Lamplighter years apart from each other, we still have many of the same memories and definitely know the same hootenanny songs!,” Emma exclaimed.

Parents of the young alums also joined the fun that beautiful afternoon in May to see old Lamplighter friends and to support their children’s first alma mater. “All in all, it was a perfect day,” said current and alumni parent Jennifer Brylowski.
