With this issue of The Term we celebrate 20 years of varsity sports at Potomac. For our alumni who graduated before we had an Upper School, you will be amazed at the size and strength of our athletics program. But it is not the size and strength about which we are most proud. It is the excellence, sportsmanship, support, and challenge that define our program. It is, in the words of one of our coaches, the fact that “We honor the game.” During these 20 years we have developed an Interscholastic Athletics program in grades 7–12 that comprises 61 teams in 21 sports. Our 87 coaches include teacher coaches as well as coaches involved with club, university, and Olympic development teams. Since 1990, when we graduated our first class of seniors, we have achieved 27 Championship Titles, eight State Championships, and produced 28 All American athletes. Many of our graduates go on to play college sports. Ours is a program of excellence that demands much from our scholar athletes — commitment, hard work, sportsmanship, and teamwork. We define excellence much like the Greeks used the word arête – to include skill, virtue, goodness, and valor. The Greeks used the concept as an ideal for both the mind and the body. At Potomac, we believe the dimensions of sport teach our children the largest of life’s lessons. Our students learn how to be leaders as well as team players. They learn how to win and how to lose with class and grace. They learn how to sit on the bench and work hard for a spot on the team. As they learn they gain the respect of their teammates, their coaches, and their opponents Our 2007–08 Student Government president described his experience on the cross country team as “phenomenal.” He said, “We have amazing runners, then others like me. But we’re all in the race, breathing together, pushing ourselves to the limit. I had never put my all into something like I did with that team. Our coach knew everyone’s times — by heart. He valued and respected every one of us.” This is the measure of our success. Challenging ourselves, working together, playing fair, treating one another with respect. These are the essential elements of sports and of life.

Varsity athletics comes of age

This fall season marks the 20th anniversary of varsity athletics at The Potomac School. On the eve of this milestone, Potomac athletes concluded their most successful year ever, winning five league championships and state championships in three sports: girls indoor track and field, boys basketball, and girls lacrosse. Two other teams were state semifinalists. Fourteen Panthers won individual state champion titles in events ranging from boys cross country to diving. A dozen players were recognized in The Washington Post’s All-Met selections. Eight athletes competed at Nike Indoor Track Nationals. One Panther, senior Johns Ross, earned an All-American title. Clearly, athletics at Potomac is flourishing. We salute these accomplishments, yet more important to us is the kind of program we have created here at Potomac. Our goal is exemplified in our athletics motto, “Success with honor.” According to Girls Athletic Director Cas Blanchard, “We offer the best competitive experience for our kids, while maintaining integrity and honor in our program.” Success can be measured in a lot of ways. Winning is clearly [ facing page ] As Potomac’s varsity program one measure.

Teacher-coaches work with students in the classroom during the day and then stay on after dismissal to teach athletic skills. Other coaches come to Potomac from outside the school, bringing varied experience and perspective. Robert von Glahn, history teacher and assistant football and baseball coach, notes: “Effective education relies on strong relationships; working with students both in the classroom and on the sports field has given me the opportunity to develop those relationships. “I also believe that teachers and coaches are essentially trying to accomplish the same thing in pursuing the mission of the school. While athletics, academics, and the arts can be seen as separate and competing disciplines, they all work to build character. Being part of both the academic and athletic lives of my students gives me some unique opportunities to aid my students and players in developing qualities of integrity, leadership, and commitment.” Dean of Students and teacher Scott Young Accents of orange distinguish the Panthers from serves as a coach for the boys junior varsity other teams in the area garbed in blue and white. lacrosse team. “Working with our students outside of the building allows me to know them in a way that can’t be simulated in the classroom. 8 The Potomac Term Fall 2008

Pursuing excellence on the field and in the classroom

Ed Wolkind, Assistant Athletic Director, Head Coach of the varsity football and baseball teams, and Admission Officer, was the recipient of a Byrnes professional development grant to research football and athletics programs around the country. He is visiting schools such as Williams College, Trinity College, and Washington and Lee University, all small co-ed Division III institutions where academics are paramount. His goal is to learn how these schools develop the same kind of excellence in their athletics programs as they do in their academic programs. He will also visit Penn State to learn how they have stayed true to their Success with Honor mission.

The Student-Athlete Perspective a conversation with Patrick Duff, Class of 2008, lifer, musician, and three-sport athlete

Earlier this year, senior Patrick Duff shared his thoughts about the importance of athletics at Potomac with rising 9th graders.

[ Q ] How would you describe your experience with Upper School athletics?

[ A ] Athletics has been the most meaningful part of my Potomac experience. Sports unite people in ways that the classroom can’t. Being part of a team gives you a connection with students in other grades and with different types of people that adds immeasurably to your experience here at Potomac.

[ Q ] How do you balance school work and three sports in an academic year?

[ A ] An athletic commitment requires you to get into a routine and to be more efficient about everything in life, including homework. Actually, I learned the lessons necessary to be a good student as well as a good athlete on the sports field. Doing “up downs” on the football field taught me [ facing page ] “Being part of a team gives you the discipline necessary to get homework done on time. a connection with students in other grades and with different types of people that adds immeasurably I couldn’t have done as well in the classroom or in music to your experience here at Potomac.” without what I learned on the football field. 14 The Potomac Term Fall 2008

“I couldn’t have done as well in the classroom or in music without what I learned on the football field.” features 15

You don’t attend this school to learn from books, you attend this school to learn from people. And you do that in athletics. Go home at 3:10 pm, and you miss out on so much. There is a whole other world in athletics – one filled with amazing, dedicated coaches.

[ Q ] So you would encourage students new to the Upper School to participate in the athletics program?

[ A ] Playing sports at Potomac is a great opportunity. You’ll never have a better chance in life to try new things. During the winter season my freshman year, I wanted to stay in shape and I found myself missing the team atmosphere of football. So I went out for swimming. Even though I never swam competitively before, I qualified for states my freshman year, and all four years of high school. Swimming turned out to be my best sport. Athletics shows what you can achieve when you try something new. It doesn’t matter what skill level you are, there’s a home for every single person here at any level if they have the desire. You’ll be cheating yourself if you don’t take part in athletics. You won’t build the same kinds of intense friendships and you’ll be missing out on fantastic memories. After high school, you won’t remember the homework and the tests you took, but you will remember the great victories, your teammates and captains, and the examples of great leadership. Your teammates will become your family, friends forever.

Coach Marcelo Valencia Boys Varsity Soccer

A native of Chile, Marcelo Valencia came to The Potomac School in the 1990s as an assistant soccer coach under Michael Brady. That “amazing” experience brought him back a year later as Head Coach of the boys varsity soccer team. What keeps Marcelo here year after year? “It’s the relationships with the kids and the families and also the way the Athletic Department at Potomac treats their coaches,” he says. Coach Valencia’s clear love of coaching is readily apparent, but he is eager to point out that it’s the people who make the real difference in an athletic program, and that the Potomac community is a special place to coach. Coach Valencia talks about how much it has meant to him to be able to follow kids throughout their Upper School years whom he began coaching when they were 11 years old. He is grateful for the opportunity to maintain these important relationships in an environment where athletics is core and coaching is so respected. When asked to describe a memorable moment at Potomac, Marcelo answers with a smile. In 2002, his first year as Head Coach, his wife waited patiently on the sidelines as Potomac played a hard-fought game against Georgetown Day School. His delight in winning the game was followed shortly thereafter by elation as his wife went into labor and delivered their first child.

On a beautiful late spring day the entire student body, faculty, parents, and friends gathered on the Gum Tree field to mark the beginning of construction of the new Lower School. The Junior Hardhat Committee stole the show, arriving by tractor with Donna Lewis, Head of Lower School, and Pawz, the school mascot, by her side. In typical Potomac style, the celebration was child-oriented and child-designed. Third grade students wrote and illustrated a special book, If You Take a Mouse to the New Lower School, (with help from kindergarten artists), which was presented to each family.*

To break ground on our new Lower School facility on the day of the Kindergarten Circus is perfectly symbolic of the Potomac Way.” The new Lower School is slated to open in September 2009. We extend a heart-felt thank you to the hundreds of families and friends of The Potomac School who have so generously donated almost $43 million toward our $50 million goal. To complete our Campaign and secure the financial well-being of the School, we need gifts and pledges from every member of our community.

Accepting the Environmental Challenge

In April, Potomac launched the first the R3 Challenge, a 15-day environmental campaign to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, modeled on the Green Cup Challenge founded by 15 East Coast schools. During the Challenge, the entire community worked together to reduce energy consumption and improve our school environment. A student-created video with tips on energy conservation, waste reduction, and recycling was shown in each division to kick off the Challenge. The primary goals of the R3 Challenge were to reduce electricity usage, reuse whenever possible, and to increase recycling. Students and teachers turned off lights whenever they were not needed, and the school’s meters were monitored to see how much of a difference was made. To spread the message beyond campus, students asked their families to turn lights off at home and to observe a “power hour” with lights off every day. To reduce the amount of trash produced on campus, students began bringing their lunches in reusable containers. Pawprints, the School’s weekly electronic newsletter, printed environmental tips and additional suggestions for recycling and reducing energy use. E-waste collection was one of the most popular Challenge activities. Families brought in their electronic waste — old TVs, cell phones, Students created a trash sculpture to draw attention computers, DVDs and CDs, and more — creating to the problem of litter.

The Class of 1978 hopes to be the very first to achieve 100% participation in the Campaign. In recognition of this extraordinary accomplishment, the first designated faculty fund to acknowledge the pacesetting generosity of the Class of 1978 has been established.

Class of 1973 steps up Inspired by what the Class of 1978 is doing, an anonymous donor from the Class of 1973 has extended a $25,000 challenge to classmates.

Dear Alumni,

It is with great pleasure that I assume the position of President of The Potomac School Alumni Governing Council, following in the able footsteps of Victoria Frankhauser Esposito, ’83. I would like to thank Victoria for serving as my mentor and demonstrating the strong leadership skills that continued the voice of alumni on the Board of Trustees. To represent all who have attended or matriculated through The Potomac School is no easy task, but I would like to do all I can to maintain for some and rekindle for others a sincere interest in the current classes and activities of our beloved alma mater. On behalf of the Council, I invite you to visit the campus, to tour the Upper School building, and to see the beginning work on the Lower School expansion project. As Council President, it is my goal to help you reconnect with Potomac in a meaningful way. I believe that the experiences we had here still occur in the lives of current Potomac students: wonderful teachers who opened our minds to critical thinking, new ideas and concepts; lasting friendships with schoolmates; team-building and camaraderie fostered through athletics and the arts; and the tradition of assemblies and events such as May Day. To help continue and enhance these experiences, I encourage your participation in the Annual Fund and the Red/Blue Challenge for The Campaign for Potomac’s Future. Potomac depends on our support, and I know you will join with me and give every request serious and generous consideration. Our newest alumni, the Class of 2008, raised the bar by achieving an impressive 80% participation rate with their gifts to the Annual Fund. This is a percentage I would like all classes to achieve. And thank you to Dr. Ramin Oskoui (my classmate!) for his $50,000 challenge to the Class of 1978. Our classmates responded quickly and generously to the challenge by not only meeting, but exceeding our goal! The communications you receive from us bear meaning and are important to keep alive our memories of Potomac. We are the products of an exceptional academic institution, and your interest, involvement, input, and participation – both personal and financial – are necessary to keep Potomac thriving. Over the next three years, I invite you to partner with me to make your Alumni Governing Council the best that it can be.

Dear Potomac Community,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to share with you this year’s Annual Report. I hope you will take a few moments to review the pages that follow and take note of the many people who have contributed gifts of time and financial resources to our School this year. Because of the many people who have made contributions of dollars and hours, we were able to uphold Potomac’s longstanding commitment to excellence in the arts, athletics, and academics. The cornerstone of our efforts, The Annual Fund, provided more than $1.37 million to ease annual costs in our operating budget. The Campaign for Potomac’s Future, a 5-year comprehensive initiative that includes programmatic, facilities, and endowment initiatives, has raised $43 million to date. Our Fall Frolics Carnival and Auction reached a record-breaking new high of $478,000. None of these programs could have succeeded without the tireless commitment of hundreds of donors and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who participated this year. Nothing is more important to the current and future advancement of Potomac’s educational mission than ensuring our School’s financial sustainability. The cost of education continues to soar. Our development efforts are critical to relieving tuition pressure while providing our esteemed faculty and staff the salaries, benefits and resources needed to ensure excellent academic programming. Our community has recognized this need and led us to record breaking successes over the last number of years. For that we are truly grateful. We remain diligent in our commitment to fiscal responsibility and finding new and creative paths to economic sustainability. I, along with three other trustees, completed terms of service on June 30: Victoria Frankhauser Esposito ’83, Barry Kabalkin, and Bob Kettler, and with great sadness we said a final farewell to Gene Upshaw, who had served our community on the Board for five years. I thank them for their service and commitment as we welcome Enrico Cecchi ’85, Jeff Nuechterlein, Steve Quamme, and Lola Singletary ’78 to the Board of Trustees for the 2008-09 school year. It has been an honor to have served as Chair for the past three years. I am thankful for the opportunity to have fulfilled this role at such an important time in Potomac’s history. I hope you will join me in welcoming and supporting Betsy Duff as the Board’s incoming Chair. Betsy brings a wealth of talents and experience with her leadership. I am confident that Potomac will reach even greater heights in the years to come as a result of the unique generosity of spirit of our entire community.

Sincerely,

Dorothy McAuliffe Chairman of the Board of Trustees 86 The Potomac Term Fall 2008
