Ponte Vedra resident John “Jack” Schmidt likes to be involved in the community. In addition to serving on the board of trustees for the Winston Family YMCA and the Beaches Museum & History Park, Schmidt was recently appointed to the board of trustees of the Episcopal School of Jack- sonville, of which he is an alumnus. He particularly enjoys helping organizations with fundraising – something, Schmidt admits, not everyone is fond of, but it’s a niche area where he seems to excel. — By Carrie Resch Jack Schmidt

You have a long history with the Episcopal School of Jacksonville. I was in the first graduating class in 1970. The school had just started; my dad worked with the founding group of people. We only had 52 in our class. Over the years, as Episcopal grew, I stayed involved. I helped start the alumni association and we started doing a lot of fundraising and reunion planning — things that all schools have already, but we had to start everything from scratch. Last year was our 45th reunion, so we decided to set a goal of 45 percent of our classmates giving to Episcopal’s annual fund. We had a competition with the other classes whereby a flag with the winning class year gets flown over the courtyard for a year. We got to 44.6 percent; we were very close to 45 percent. It was a school record — they’d never had above 29 percent.

What are you looking forward to doing as a member of Episcopal’s board of trustees? I like development, and I enjoy doing campaigns for specific- type projects. I enjoy having a project, raising money for it and seeing it through. That is actually how I recently became more involved at Episcopal. We had the fundraising for my class but Episcopal is also having a capital campaign to make improve- ment to the athletic facilities and other campus improvements, so I’ve been helping with that also.

What other organizations are you involved with? I’m involved with the YMCA; I was the first chairman of the Ponte Vedra YMCA. Ever since high school, I’ve been involved in the YMCA, so that’s always been a fun group to be associated with. In the past, I have been involved with the United Way of St. Johns County and the Rotary Club of Jacksonville. Right now, I’m mostly involved with the Beaches Museum & History Park, the Ponte Vedra YMCA and Episcopal.

Tell me about your involvement with the Beaches Museum & History Park. I’ve been on the Beaches Museum & History Park Board of Directors for three years, but I’ve really been active with the museum for about 10 years. I think what I like the most about the Beaches Museum board is it’s an active board — meaning that Executive Director Chris Hoffman calls on the board all the time for ideas, fundraising and hands-on type of projects. I headed up the 10th anniversary party for the museum. We called through all of our lists and we got former board members, officers, supporters and executive directors back — I think we had about 150 people in attendance. It wasn’t a fundraiser, it was just a chance to get everyone together again, thank them Photo by Carrie Resch and show them how well we’ve done. I also co-chaired the fundraising campaign to relocate the 1873 cabin to the Beaches Museum property along with Su- but also proud of where they are.

Miller currently holds a statewide first-place standing amongst competitors 1- to 8-years-old in form with 61 points, sparring with 25 points and weapons with 49 points through wins in events at the world, regional, state and city levels. And she’s not done yet. “I hope I can get my first-degree black belt soon,” said Miller, who currently holds a red belt. “And I’m really looking forward to going to district and world this year.” Photos courtesy of Ted Miller As the state’s triple crown champion, First Lady Ann Scott with Jessie Miller Miller qualified to compete in the two- day, seven-state Southeast District Cham- pionship in Dalton, Georgia in which the top 10 students of every state compete for the district title, where she placed first in weapons with a bow staff. She will also compete in the 2016 ATA World Expo at the end of the month in Little Rock, Arkansas hosted by the Grand Master of Songahm Taekwondo. Her achievements have won her the praise of many, including Florida First Lady Ann Scott. Miller recently met Scott, an experience she called “amazing,” and received a letter from the First Lady congratulating her for her ATA wins and diligence. “I know a lot of hard work and deter- mination went into your commitment,” Scott wrote. “(It) is to be commended Jessie Miller and recognized, especially in someone so young.” Ted Miller has seen his daughter’s ef- Miller’s parents agree. forts first hand, helping her with warm- ups and exercise, such as practicing in the water to improve her responses and seeing her through stretches, push-ups, sit-ups and punch combinations. He says he tries to support her growth by encouraging her to practice and honor her commitments. “Jessie made a commitment at the beginning of the season this year to try for a state championship,” he said. “She’s exceeded it by winning three … her success is based on her desire to achieve respect — not only receiving it, but giving it first.” That desire shows in Jessie’s passion for the sport. Ted says above all, she keeps the same three goals for every tournament: to have fun, to do her best and to make new friends. For those reasons, Jessie says the thrill of competing isn’t only in winning. “I want to do it forever,” she said. “It’s fun because you always meet new friends and you keep them forever.” Miller also has a message for other kids her age trying to reach their own goals. “Don’t let other people tell you that you can’t do something,” she said. “I think all kids should work hard (toward their goals) — in fact, everybody should.” Ponte Vedra Recorder · June 9, 2016 Sports 29 Thanks, Coach Longtime Coach Helmly retires after 35 years Facebook group attracts hundreds who offer gratitude for his impact on their lives
