LETTER FROM THE
HEADMASTER

Dear Loudoun Country Day School Community,

On behalf of our entire faculty and administration, I thank all parents of current
and former students, trustees, grandparents, alumni, and friends for your sup-
port for our 2015-2016 Annual Fund. I am delighted to report that, thanks to
your generosity, our school has achieved another all-time Annual Fund record,
raising over $480,000! This is an exceptional accomplishment for our school
and greatly benefits our program and finances overall. At the same time, it is a
powerful symbol of support for our school as a whole.

Our Annual Fund plays a vital role in our school. Over the years the Annual Fund has helped us create and
expand our core academic program as well as our orchestra and band, our comprehensive technology
and STEM initiatives, visual arts, library, and the range of our physical education and athletics offerings. I
am excited that we are expanding our robotics program within our STEM curriculum this year.

I especially thank the members of our Development Committee, including Chair Brian Arezzo, Bill Tyrrell,
Pam Maroulis, and Kay Nakamura, for their leadership, dedication, and overall support for the Annual Fund
and for helping to make this our most successful campaign in total dollars raised. As I thank them, I also
want to give special thanks to Susan Burkey, who, through her dedicated service as Development Assistant
(one of her many areas of responsibility on our administrative team) over the past several years, made an
immeasurable contribution to our success.

You will see in our list of supporters that we are recognizing donors who have contributed to our Annual
Fund at least five and ten years consecutively. We are extremely grateful for their generous support over a
number of years.

I also want to give special thanks to Stephanie Balderrama and Ginny Grivas, our Parents’ Association presi-
dent and vice president for the past two years, for their dedication and tremendous efforts on behalf of
our school. They co-chaired our 2014 auction at Westfields Hotel. They then created our online auction
experience for 2015 and 2016. Their leadership made it possible for the Parents’ Association to present our
school with a check for $70,000 at our final all-school assembly on June 6.

We held our Closing Exercises on June 10, celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2016. We
congratulate these students on their achievements, and we wish each of them the best for success as
they begin their high school careers.

Once more, I thank everyone who contributed to our 2015-2016 Annual Fund. Thank you for making a
difference to our educational program and school as a whole!

With great appreciation,

Randy Hollister
Headmaster

“It was the best of times…..” 2016 produced several “bests” for our school based on enthusiastic support
from local readership surveys for our school.

To put the contests in context, the former publication Leesburg Today ran a “Best of” poll for many years,
which gave readers a chance to vote for everything from their favorite barbecue restaurant to their
favorite dentist. In between was always a “Best Private School” and “Best Teacher” category. Over the
years, several of our teachers have been voted best in this poll, but in every poll we can remember, with
one exception, over twenty-five years, we placed first. Hence we have the banner “Voted Best Private
School for Over Twenty Years”.

In 2016 the Loudoun Times Mirror took up the charge with this
poll and inaugurated their “Loudoun Times Mirror 2016 Best of
Loudoun” poll. In this new version, LCDS was awarded “Best
Private School” and the "Best Teacher" runner-up was awarded to
Angie Cross.

Loudoun Now launched its new publication a year ago and also
inaugurated a "Loudoun's Favorites" Readers Poll. LCDS was
awarded "Favorite Private School"; "Favorite Preschool"; "Favorite
Coach, Cathy Fernandez"; "Favorite Music Educator, Sonja Jewell";
and "Favorite Teacher", Angie Cross.

Washington Family, a magazine which encompasses most of the


Washington, DC, metropolitan area, also runs an annual poll. Their “Best
for Families” 2016 poll resulted in five wins for LCDS: "Best Private School"
(overall); "Best Preschool"; "Best Foreign Language Instruction"; "Best STEM
Instruction"; and "Best Music Instruction."

Finally, in Posh Seven’s 2016 “Best of Suburbia Kids”,


Loudoun Country Day School won “Best Private School K-8."

We are very grateful to be recognized in these publications, as we


strive to do our best in all areas while evolving and improving each
year. To be acknowledged is rewarding; however, credit also goes
out to our many families who support us, especially by sharing their children, but in so many other ways,
including voting in these polls. Were there a category for “Best School Families”, our school would win by
a landslide!

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and dedicated support.

ROBOTIC S

We have added engaging Robotics learning tracks to our lower and


middle school flagship STEM program. Throughout the Robotics
curriculum, students collaborate with their peers, develop critical
thinking skills and explore programming concepts while working with
or creating robotics.

The curriculum begins in our lower school. Kindergarten students learn


basic programming and problem solving while working with BeeBots,
robots designed for little hands and big imaginations. In second grade,
students continue to explore robotics with Lego WeDo education kits.
These beginner robotics kits introduce students to the engineering
design process and icon-based programming. In fifth grade, students
take on more challenging and robust EV3 Lego robotics to complete
a series of tutorial projects utilizing a variety of sensors and icon-based
programming.

Robotics education continues in the middle school. Sixth grade students


create and program rovers to collect specimens from distant planets with
Lego NXT kits, while seventh graders explore programming concepts
and robotics engineering with Ozobots and Arduino Uno projects. The
program culminates in eighth grade when students design and program
VEX robots to carry out a series of challenges. Middle school students
may also join after-school robotics teams that compete with peers from
around the corner and around the world.

The LCDS student who progress through our lower and middle school
programs will graduate with well-practiced problem solving and
collaboration skills, and a wealth of project-based, authentic STEM
learning experiences that will rival or exceed those they will encounter
in high school.

We are excited about the continued evolution of our STEM


programs, including our robotics program. Special credit goes to
Vicki Knickerbocker, pictured below, our Director of Instructional
Technology, for her vision and commitment to making this important
area of our program the very best anywhere.

Beth have been dedicated and supportive parents
since their children first enrolled in our program.
Both have served on committees for numerous
major Parents' Association events and activities
throughout their years at LCDS. Jennifer has
chaired Bingo Night the past three years. This past
summer, Jennifer and Beth played a major role in
our Uniform Exchange program, making it a big
success for our parents. They both have served
on Fall Fun Fair, Teacher Appreciation Week, and
Auction committees.

leadership roles on our Parents' Association. Three years ago, Stephanie Balderrama and Ginny
Grivas stepped forward to co-chair our Gala auc-
tion event that year. They did a magnificent job cre-
ating an enjoyable and memorable special evening
for our community.

That same spring they were elected president


(Stephanie) and vice president (Ginny) of our Par-
ents’ Association, and they dedicated themselves
to the leadership of our Parents’ Association for the
next two school years. Their term ended June 30,
2016.

It is no easy feat to thank Stephanie and Ginny suf-


ficiently for their constant energy, enthusiasm and
tireless efforts throughout their leadership of our
Parents’ Association the past two years. In addition
to providing support for every major Parents’ Asso-
ciation event during their tenure, they also took on
the major initiative of creating an online auction ex-
perience and community social as an alternative to
our traditional auction.

These are a few among their contributions to our


school. Above all, we thank Stephanie and Ginny
for their indomitable spirits and inspiring service.

For 2015-2016, the Parents’ Association Board members consisted of President Stephanie Balderrama; Vice
President, Ginny Grivas; Head Room Representative, Rachele Nestor; Secretary, Kathy Romedy; and Trea-
surer, Barbara Hamidi. Once again the key focus of the PA was to delight our children while encouraging
parents to be involved and engaged. Our continued message to our fellow parents (both new and old) was
to get involved, support the school, and help cultivate the experiences that shape our children’s lives and
memories.

We had another outstanding year of events, produced with the steadfast support of some exceedingly ded-
icated parents. These events included the exceptional Fall Fun Fair, an exciting Teacher Appreciation Week
coupled with two fantastic faculty luncheons, the dazzling Arabian Nights Bingo Night, the enchanting Fa-
ther-Daughter Dance, the electrifying Mother-Son night of fun, the magnificent Community Social at Stone
Tower Winery, and the delightful Grandparents and Special Friends spread!

Additionally, through the tremendous support of the faculty, parents and students, the PA’s Online Auction
was again a huge success – raising a remarkable $70,000 for the school! Special thanks to those extraor-
dinary individuals who were charged with creating such unforgettable experiences – namely Irene Stout
and Melissa Adamson (Our Fall Fun Fair Heros!); Lauren Bermudez (Our Brave and Imaginative Newcomer!);
Jen Arezzo (The Bingo Queen!); Jennifer Schneider and Sara D’Alatri (Our Amazing Dynamic Duo!); Kristen
D’Agostino, Angela Leuck, and Kim Latkiewicz (Our Outstanding Social Trio!)

And for those incredible, steadfast volunteers, who tirelessly donated themselves to these events and more,
I’d like to personally thank – Ginny Grivas, Donna Moreau, Beth Sargent, Heather Hughes, Kathy Rome-
dy, Rachele Nestor, Chandra Bittner, Erin Marshall, Nancy Mendez, Kay Nakamura, Jenna Choi, and Andre
Balderrama – for their above and beyond contributions.

It has been my great privilege serving as your PA President for the past two years. Getting to know the kids,
parents and school at such an intimate level has only strengthened my gratitude for the opportunity my
own children have and experience thanks to this extraordinary community.

Best of luck to our stellar new President, Jen Arezzo and Vice President, Beth Sargent. Having been in their
shoes, I have a profound new respect for how much each individual’s contributions make a difference – no
matter how big or small. So I humbly encourage you to support them and our community by doing what
you can, when you can… you make the difference!

Warmest regards,

Stephanie Balderrama
Parents’ Association President – 2014-2015 | 2015-2016

GRADUATION AWARDS

JUNE 10, 2016

The Philip E. duPont Memorial Award

This award is given to the graduating eighth grader who most visi-
bly demonstrates concern and compassion for fellow LCDS students.
The award is given in honor of Philip E. duPont, a graduate of LCDS
who lost his life while serving our country in the United States Marine
Corps. While stationed in Japan, Philip entered a burning barracks of
his fellow soldiers in an effort to save them from the fire. In doing so,
he made the ultimate sacrifice, losing his own life.

Regarding Allison Eisert, our 2016 recipient of the Philip E. duPont Me-
morial Award, the middle school faculty wrote: “Allison is frequent-
ly selfless when it comes to participating with her classmates in ac-
tivities. She always looks for a compromise so that everyone can win
and feel good about themselves. She is the peacemaker of the class.
Sensitive towards others, she understands that even little things such
as a smile can make someone’s day, and will be the first one to take
a classmate who is having a rough day under her wing.” Congratula-
tions, Allison!

The Headmaster’s Prize

This award is given to a member of the graduating class who best ex-
emplifies the philosophy of the school, which includes a supportive
attitude, daily evidence of supporting the rules and standards of the
school, the qualities of a good citizen, and a genuine love of learn-
ing. Mark Sogegian, 2015 recipient of the Headmaster’s Prize, attend-
ed our ceremony and announced the 2016 recipient.

Mikayla Connolly, our 2016 Headmaster’s Prize recipient, was praised


by the middle school faculty in these words: “Mikayla exemplifies a
love of learning for its own sake. She does this on a daily basis while
always demonstrating a positive attitude and living the philosophy
of the school. She brings positive energy and gives full attention to
the classroom, subject matter, and activities every day and poses
thoughtful and insightful questions as she applies everything she
learns to her broader education. A model student and citizen, she
approaches her studies not for the grades but for her edification and
personal growth.” Congratulations, Mikayla!
