cotting school annual report inspire inspire t Cotting School, we measure success by the “small miracles” that occur every day. These smallIntroduction miracles require a tremendous amount of time and persistence on the part of our students. But over time, collectively, they lead to Aincreased independence and inspire our entire community.

Sparked by those same miracles, our students, faculty, staff, trustees, parents, and friends give of themselves every day. We hope you, too, are inspired by the stories in our annual report of those who are new and those who have made long-term commitments to Cotting School.

Other “firsts” include our inaugural Cotting Fellow, Jeanine Dowd, who is teaching in the middle school. The Fellows Program is part of our School’s commitment to train the next generation of teachers of children with special needs. We have initiated a new program whereby qualified Program Assistants are mentored with the goal of becoming classroom teachers. Through Project Bridges, an unprecedented 48 upper school students have weekly jobs in community businesses. At each location, our students favorably impress their co-workers and job coach with how much they contribute to the work place.

In all we do, we are constantly reminded of your loyal support. A Cotting education is transformative, but it requires enormous perseverance from the whole community- students, parents, teachers, volunteers, and donors. We are deeply grateful for the many ways that each of you gives to this School. Your gifts of time, money, and energy inspire us to do more every day. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Anne Phillips Ogilby, David W. Manzo, Chairman, Board of Trustees President/Executive Director

3 Kate Dewhirst

t is rare that a donation to Cotting consists of an individual’s entire paycheck, yet that is IHerexactly whatGift Kate Dewhirst, Inspired Class of 2008, Others did with her first gift to the School. Kate is currently employed at CHAI Works!, a program of Jewish Family and Children’s Service in Waltham.

When Kate learned about Cotting School’s plans to construct an artificial turf playing field and resurface the playground so that all students could fully access outdoor sports, Kate wanted to help. She met President Dave Manzo at the school and handed him an envelope, which included her donation and the following note, “Please use this for the new field. I want to show how much I love Cotting and want to help you.”

She told Manzo, “It feels so good to be part of this project. I can just picture students playing soccer outside on this field.” Many gifts of all sizes enabled that construction project, which occurred in the three weeks in August between summer and fall sessions. However, no gift held more meaning than Kate’s.

Kate attended Cotting for eleven years before she graduated at age 22; out of the seven schools she attended in total, it was her “favorite. I love the school, the staff, and my friends. I enjoyed

4 inspire woodworking, getting exercise, and the after-school classes.” Her mother, Laura, notes, “From the minute we came to Cotting, we saw all the things students do to help others. Kate made gift wrap to benefit Globe Santa in Lower School. She helped sew quilts for teenage mothers in Middle School. She participated in the ‘Read to Feed’ program and a clothing drive, and sent backpacks to victims of Hurricane Katrina in Upper School. Students are so used to being recipients, and we liked the emphasis on community service. Her job now involves quite a lot of community service, so the skills carry over nicely.”

In Kate’s new position, her supervisors have noted that, “Kate has been a wonderful addition to our program. The quality of her work and her work ethic are top notch, which has made her a great role model for her peers.”

This past fall, students have reveled in the new Connelly Field and renovated playground surface, which have transformed recess and gym classes. Thank you, Kate. What a gift!

5 inspire The Camille Family

e first came to Cotting because Mike wanted what his older brother, Christopher, New“W hadChanges – a school. Cotting In looked Every like the ‘real deal,’”Year Ruth Camille explains. “He has experienced so many changes in the last thirteen years! Cotting always makes sure I see the progress. For example, when Mike first learned to drive his power chair, they called me in to show me. I was sitting on a bench,” she recalls, “and he came around the corner driving by himself and whooping with delight! All our experiences at Cotting have been like that. Not once have I thought he could get more elsewhere.”

She continues, “Every year has brought something huge for him, even something like working out a coping mechanism for change. As a result, we have a nice solid plan between us. If there’s an issue, he will bring it home and we’ll talk about it. He has great energy for math and has learned a lot through community trips.

“Last winter Mike attended the ski trip. It was so well orchestrated! I saw firsthand how hard the staff work to make that happen. There are two instructors per student. At Mount Sunapee they kept one lift open only for Cotting students. On the last day students were ‘sailing’ over moguls squealing with joy. Again, at the Special Olympics, Mike participated in track, with a sleepover at University. I am amazed at the commitment of these staff members. They have hearts of gold!” 6 Ruth has seen progress in Mike through the choice of community jobs he has held through Project Bridges. This year Mike’s job involves data entry at Eastern Bank; his first Project Bridges job was at Bedford’s VA Hospital to talk with the veterans. She remembers, “The night before, he’d ask me to program the weekend’s sports scores and information about the Patriots games into his Dynavox, an augmentative communication device. He’d bring along chocolates from Green Mountain Chocolate, a company owned by his aunt.” As far as future Cotting jobs are concerned, she says, “Mike loves libraries, and his goal is to work in the Cambridge Public Library. He needs to learn more skills before he can do this, and the bank is a good transition to that.”

When he turns 22, Mike will work for Green Mountain Chocolates two days a week. He will also assist with billing at his father’s business and volunteer at the Hopkinton Library, a place he already loves. Ruth concludes, “We couldn’t be more pleased with his progress. The self confidence and the self advocacy are the result of Cotting. His confidence has cemented here.”

7 inspire Louise Marr

he strength of Cotting School has always been the significant partnerships that develop TAtbetween the students Head and teachers of as theyHer work togetherClass to attain specific milestones of progress. One of the longest standing friendships we know of between teacher and student is that of Louise Marr and her sixth grade student, Arthur Downing.

As a four year-old, Arthur Downing developed polio. In 1938, his parents enrolled him in first grade at Cotting, which was then called The Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children. In that first grade classroom, Downing met and became smitten with Geraldine Borges, who became his wife years later. He stayed at Cotting through the end of eighth grade and recalls, “At that time I was wearing a long brace on my left leg and my arms and back were quite weak. It was at Cotting that I learned to accept my handicap as something not unconquerable. Through exercise and therapeutic treatment, my back and arms became strong. I have since eliminated my brace. At that time, being so young, I don’t think I appreciated the individual care that I received, but today I look back and thank God for those people who had the foresight to build and maintain such a school.”

Having begun her career in a one-room schoolhouse in Maine, Louise Marr taught Downing fairly early in her forty-one year career at the School. Downing recalls, “She would travel on vacations and bring back things to show us; she was never boring. You had to be impressed with all the teachers

8

inspire and those administrators at Cotting; they were like your family taking care of you. Even today I can recall the names of all the teachers and Superintendents through the years I spent at Cotting.”

Marr’s Superintendent, Bill Carmichael, recalls her as having discipline in her classes that was “soft and serene, but solid, with a delightful sense of humor. She taught math using baseball scores and asked students to read their written work at a ‘microphone’ to aid with self confidence and public speaking.” Carmichael says Marr “arrived at work at 7AM and left at 10 PM” and was “extremely conscientious.”

In 1976, Miss Marr retired after an impressive 41 years of service at the School. As President of the Alumni Association, Downing was asked to give her a special tribute and the gift of a silver Revere bowl. For over sixty years after Downing’s graduation from eighth grade until Miss Marr’s death on May 21, 2009 at the age of 99, Arthur and Geri Downing and Louise Marr wrote, called, and visited one another and stayed in touch. In fact, earlier this year, Marr called Downing to inquire the score of the most recent ping pong game they played three years ago! To summarize this remarkable woman, Downing adds, “When you talk about being a teacher, Louise H. Marr was at the head of her class.”

9 McGlame Family

amie McGlame and Kevin McGlame have two sons born a year apart; both were WhereJdiagnosed with He FG Syndrome. Needs As she began to to belook intoMet schooling opportunities for her sons, Jamie realized, “Just because they both have the same syndrome doesn’t mean each child has the same issues. I knew they both had talents and that I needed to find the best placement for them to bring out those talents.”

She continued, “As soon as we walked into the building, we knew Cotting was the right place for us. I watched students transition from one class to another with no bells. I loved the lunchroom, a huge social environment of students eating together. Other pluses were the broad spectrum of offerings, the individual attention, full access to the whole school, and the inclusivity of successfully navigating the large building.”

Even though Jamie and Kevin placed both boys at the School, “Cotting is meeting them as individuals. Each child is met where he needs to be met. Their life skills have improved, and what they learn carries over from school to home.”

Kevin agrees, “They have thrived at Cotting. I can’t say enough about how well Colin and Riley have done. Riley is a go-getter, truly thriving, learning, and changing. Colin loves his classes and works hard. It doesn’t matter what age group your child is in because all

10

inspire the students get to know all the staff anyway. The biggest thing is the dedication of the teachers. They make it easier for children to learn, and they have worked with us on everything our boys have needed to do.”

Both parents agree that they “can’t say enough about the school.” Jamie adds, “Cotting supports me as a parent as well as my children. Their priority is always the boys, and their suggestions are extremely helpful. We are tremendously lucky to be at Cotting!”

usy, fast-moving, and quick-witted, Eileen Kiernan links students and teachers to the BWithtechnology andTireless software programs Dedication that will most enhance their learning. She has the confidence of a person who knows her students and subject matter cold. It’s no surprise; she has been involved in educational technology since the field opened up. Eileen started as a resource room teacher at Cotting School in Boston in 1979 and soon became involved in a collaborative project with the MIT Educational Computer Group. The project utilized Logo-based activities and turtle graphics to observe student thinking and problem solving. After the project was completed, the computers stayed, and so did she. “Soon Cotting admitted its first non-verbal student,” she remembers. The rest is history.

“With the move to Lexington, the whole department grew,” she recalls. She ran all aspects of technology in its early phase, even to the extent of taking the big and bulky computers in her car to Peabody to be repaired.

“Now,” she recalls, “even though the technology has changed, my job is the same. I take each student’s plan and work with the teacher to explain how and what s/he can do to integrate technology. It’s always assessment and then teacher support. Now with our team meetings, we are more united in technology use per student.”

Why does she stay at Cotting? Kiernan smiles, “The environment is stimulating, and the challenge is that you are around really smart people. Cotting has amazing resources, materials, and equipment. At Cotting there are bright people committed to the same message. It would be too hard to leave that.”

A student at Cotting’s former location in Boston for grades 6-12, Tanner was taught by some of the teachers regarded by many alumni as the best teachers they ever had: Lucy Sim Dattman, Louise Marr, Norm Ingram, and Ray Killian. He has continued their tradition, modeling true caring with challenge and commitment.

For twenty-five years he coached the basketball team; his coaching heritage is kept alive by the alumni, who remember fondly the Friday evenings of competition that helped shape their characters. The emphasis has always been on smart play, good sportsmanship, and hard work. In fact, in December 2009, alumnus Tom Teahan and his peers presented “Teacher, Leader, Coach” Tanner with a trophy to say, “thank you.”

Tanner has worked with three Presidents of Cotting School and seen many changes in the buildings, students, and curriculum. As he reflects on his thirty-five years here, he says, “There’s a certain feeling of comfort when you’ve been here a long time; you can accept change, which is inevitable. But the essence of the place stays the same; the commitment to what is best for each student has never changed.”

At seven years of age, Richard Herd contracted osteomyelitis, a bone disease, in his left leg. He was given one of the first doses of newly-invented penicillin, which saved his leg, after which he underwent surgery and rehabilitation. A year later, in 1939, wearing a full leg brace, he enrolled at Cotting School, then called The Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children. “Other than at school, I had no one to play with. We were shunned in society; people made fun of us. At school, we were given the strength not to feel sorry for ourselves. We experienced joy in class and laughter on the bus. Our education was just like that of other kids,” he remembers fondly. “The hardship on my parents was tremendous. Their help and strength, and the powerful support from my teachers, gave me the will to move on and the stubbornness to keep going. It was amazing to see what I could do when people got behind me.”

“Pat and I have chosen to leave a bequest in our will to Cotting School because of the strength, care, love, and understanding shown me there that enabled me to get back on my feet and feel hope. Cotting provided teachers whose strong fabric of character served me as role models; how terrific it was to have somebody like that in my life!

No student who entered Ms. Murphy’s music classroom was denied the opportunity to participate meaningfully and wholeheartedly. Still remembered by alumni who fondly recall being stars onstage, her musical productions were highlights of the school year.

“I had a difficult first year,” Ms. Murphy recalls, “because in 1965 there was not much training for teaching music to students with special needs. In the early years we put on variety shows and did skits you can’t imagine. I would paint the backdrop and scenery; my colleague, Lucienne Dorian, made the costumes. We could really showcase what each child could do, and it was rare to have a student with no family at the performance.”

Characteristically modest, she attributes much of her success to Dave McHardy, a member of our maintenance team, who, she says, “changed my career. He is so creative! Dave built me a console with five different panels with five different switches. Students could hit the panel and activate the sound necessary to do their part. Dave enabled me to help any student participate.”

It was my first foray into the volunteer world and here I am as a Trustee still waving the Cotting School banner with great admiration and enthusiasm.

My very first impression of the school was the cheerful, positive atmosphere: the happy students, the faculty and staff all absorbed in their activities and enjoying working together. And indeed, that great spirit continues today.

In the early days when the school was located on St. Botolph Street in Boston, the Ladies Committee conducted tours around the school as well as helping periodically in the classrooms which I enjoyed, having trained as a teacher.

The School’s leadership is vital to this successful educational experience, and the three Presidents that I have known, Bill Carmichael, Carl Mores, and Dave Manzo, while different personalities, all share the compassion and dedication to the mission of the school and its importance in the community and beyond.

Cotting School has been an inspiration in my life and I am most grateful to be one of the many who have benefited from this unique institution.

Each of them has learned more and come so far, even in the short time that I have worked with them.”

Cotting itself has made a solid impression on her as a workplace. “Here at Cotting the dynamics go a long way; the relationships and connection between the students and the faculty and staff amaze me.
