Windward School Mission Statement

Windward is a dynamic college-preparatory school that challengeseach student to achieve excellence in a nurturing, inclusive

community. Windward teachers, parents, and administrators worktogether to inspire our students to be responsible, caring, wellinformed, ethical, prepared, and well balanced young adults.

A dynamic education. A nurturing community.

When the Class of 2013 took the stage in their caps and gowns last June, I reminded them that GraduationDay was not simply a celebration of all they had accomplished during their time at Windward. It wasalso an occasion to recognize the beginning of an entirely new chapter in their lives. And like all those

who had come before them − and all those who would follow − they would forever continue on that journey asWindwardians. Wherever their trajectory of success might take them, they would always remain part of theWindward community. And they would always know that they belong to a group of leaders and innovators who

not only embrace the complexity of their world, but also believe in the feasibility of their dreams.

A few months later, as we continued research for our growing Windward Network Initiative, we reached out to another group of youngWindwardians; students from the Classes of 2008 and 2009 who, having recently completed their undergraduate college years, had justtaken the first few steps of their professional lives. Although each had joined the workforce just a year or two earlier, nearly 4 in 5 told us thattheir current occupation reflected their desired career or field. That number is remarkable − and telling. As young adults, our graduates havethe self-assurance not only to identify what their passions are, but also to pursue them with confidence.

The school that both current students and alumni call home has never been stronger. During the 2012-2013 academic year and beyond,Windward has continued to flourish as an educational institution recognized far and wide. The Windward Institute and Center for Teachingand Learning march forward in their efforts, conducting research and developing educational programs that can transform both classroomsand lives. Windward’s faculty continue to create initiatives and partnerships with colleges, companies, and thought leaders in order toprepare our students for the world of tomorrow. Whether discovering their passions through our Global programs or STEAM classes, inEntrepreneurship or the Arts, Windward’s students are receiving a dynamic education in a nurturing environment that is unlike any other.

The perpetual innovation that is such a defining characteristic of Windward School could not be realized without the strong partnershipsthat form the backbone of our community. In innumerable ways, our accomplishments are made possible by the dedication and support ofour parents, alumni, and leadership donors. The Windward Board of Trustees, led by Board Chair Elliot Gordon ’74, ensures that our goalsare met and our course remains true to the vision set forth in our Strategic Plan. Together, we have worked in concert time and again to turnbig ideas into reality. Our shared progress reflects a belief that if you can dream big, anything can be possible.

Windward’s students will hold this same notion wherever life may take them. As our graduates continue on their journey as Windwardians,they find that support doesn’t stop with the conclusion of their formal education. Our community members have always discovered newopportunities as a result of their association with Windward. And as the Windward Network Initiative continues to expand, those lifelongconnections will only grow stronger, more important, and more mutually beneficial. Every time someone within our community shares areferral, offers some wisdom, or simply helps to open a door, there is someone else whose life can be changed. The enduring relationshipswithin our community, made ever stronger through the Windward Network, will enrich the lives of our graduates - as well as futuregenerations of Windward students who will benefit from the philanthropic support their predecessors have provided.

In the pages that follow, you will learn more about the latest initiatives and accomplishments that we are working on, as well as the stories ofsuccess that could only have been made possible by the generous support of the Windward community during the 2012-2013 school year andbeyond. The updates that appear in this edition of the Magazine and Annual Report represent but a small fraction of the many exciting storieswe have to share about our community. I highly encourage you to continue learning more about Windward’s innovative spirit through thevibrant content that is updated daily on the school’s website and the many social media outlets on which we maintain an engaging presence.

Later this June, another graduating class will take the Jackson Center stage. Surrounded by their loving families and their proud teachers, thesestudents will know that all of the support they have had in reaching this day will continue well after they first take a Windward diploma in hand. Iam thankful for all of the collaboration with our Trustees, parents, alumni, and donors that helps make this outcome a continued reality. Workingtogether, we can ensure that this and every class of Windward students has an educational experience that will truly be of benefit for a lifetime.

With deep gratitude,

Tom Gilder

Head of School

Three decades after I graduated, I returned to Windward School as a

parent. I will be forever grateful that my own son Daniel got an

opportunity to know Shirley. One of my fondest memories of Daniel’s

time here was watching ninety year old Shirley light up and smile from

ear to ear as she sat in the front row of our theater and Daniel, playing

Conrad Birdie in Bye Bye Birdie, came right up to her and did his best

hip-twisting Elvis imitation. Shirley delighted in attending the school

plays, and Daniel always knew when she was in the audience. While

Shirley’s formal teaching days were long over by then, it meant a lot to

me – and to Daniel – that he got the opportunity to know her.

When I joined the school’s Board of Trustees, I got to know Shirley in

yet another way. Shirley relished the idea that her former student

from some decades ago was now a fellow Board member. (And of

course I was pleased that she had the discretion to keep any stories

about my youth to herself). Up until a year or so ago, Shirley regularly

attended our Board meetings. While I’m sure that some of her fellow

Board members were jealous of the fact that she could get away

with taking a snooze during parts of our meetings, Shirley was most

attentive when we discussed issues of concern to her, and continued

to share her perspective. But more than just being a fellow trustee, I

also became Shirley’s chauffeur to and from Board meetings. And as

we rode from her home in Santa Monica to the school, I never stopped

marveling at the sharpness of her mind and the quickness of her wit.

Shirley could jump from talking about conversations she had had

with my Windward classmates forty years earlier to discussing modern

day politics, all without missing a beat. As so many of us have

experienced, it was I who had to keep up with Shirley.

I know that the experiences I have shared this afternoon are mine

alone. Every person here has his or her own Shirley stories too. But

when we think of Shirley, almost all of us will think of the tangible

gift that she left behind for us – her poetry. As you can see from what

is in your hands, it is something she continued to do to her last days.

I am sure that Shirley still had many unwritten poems within her. It

is now left to us to honor her, not by completing her poems but by

writing our own poems and stories, whether in words or in the way

we live our lives. But for today, I would like to close not with my

words but with Shirley’s. For many years, she has written a poem for

each graduating class at Windward. For the last thirty-eight years, I

have held on to the poem she wrote for my own graduating class of

eighteen students. She was saying farewell to us, her fellow explorers

of uncharted educational waters. It was her way of sending us off to

our new lives. And now, it is time for me to say farewell to you Shirley,

and help send you off to the new life that you hoped would be

waiting for you. I can think of no better way than to take out the

slightly yellowed paper and read back to you the poem you wrote for

me and my fellow Windward graduates in June of 1974:

Remembering Shirley Windward 1919-2012

Excerpted from remarks at the Memorial Service for Shirley Windward

by Elliot Gordon ’74

Delivered November 11, 2012

“What we remember is what keeps us whole.”

Thus begins the first poem in a book of Shirley’s poetry published

last year by Windward students in honor of her ninety-second

birthday. So today, we gather as a community to remember

Shirley, and in so doing, to keep ourselves whole.

When I spoke to the Windward faculty, staff and Board of Trustees the

night after Shirley left us, I was met with a sea of nodding heads when

I remarked that she was one of those people who you just always

imagined would live forever. That zeal for living, and the fact that we

had seen her beat back death several times before, only to emerge

even stronger, could fool us into thinking she had been granted a

special exemption. Of course, the inevitable end she wrote about in

her poetry did finally come. But the presence of all of you here today,

from so many different parts of Shirley’s life, is all the proof one needs

that indeed she will be with us forever. No longer will we be witness to

her mischievous smile and sense of humor, or hear her read her poems

in that distinctive voice and cadence. But Shirley indelibly touched the

lives of everyone in this room, in ways both small and big.

She first touched mine when

I was an adolescent, an

eighth grader at Paul Revere

Junior High who loved to

learn but was completely

turned off by an uninspiring

educational environment in

which so many teachers

seemed to want to just punch

the clock, and whose highest

aspiration was to make sure

the kids remained orderly.

But then I walked into

Shirley’s eighth grade creative

writing class. It was like going

from a small black and white

TV set to a sixty inch, color plasma TV with 3-D. Shirley’s enthusiasm

for teaching, her love of the English language, and her genuine

concern for each and every student, were all evident from day one.

In fact, she was teaching in a collaborative classroom long before the

term became a buzzword, having our entire class create the fictional

town of Somerset, in which each student selected a role for themselves

in the town, and our stories intersected with each other.

We who have loved you love you now the more

Because you leave us; there is something here

Between the meddling monster of the brain

And what we call our genesis, our genes,

Our spanking selfish source, something is here

That meets no measurement yet measureable,

Tells us no lies, submits to no man’s net,

Brings us no comfort. Oh departing friends,

Let us give thanks for failure and for grief,

Shout praise for rage, for envy; seek with joy

All pain that heals; let us embrace our sins

As we embrace each other. Let us share

This gift of grace: because you leave us hope,

We who have loved — love you now the more.

From the Board Chair

This year at Windward is a special one for me, as it marks the fortieth anniversary of my graduation from the school.As I sat at my own graduation ceremony with seventeen of my fellow founding students, I little imagined that oneday I would be writing to you, the Windward community, as Chair of the Board of Trustees. In fact, I think it’s fair to

say that as a student, I was pretty much oblivious to the fact that there even was a Board of Trustees, much less the vitalrole it plays in guiding and supporting the growth and success of the school. Today, I can say I am truly inspired by my fellow trustees, and allthose Board Chairs and trustees who preceded us and devoted themselves to making Windward a truly special place for our students.

As the Board of Trustees gathers throughout the year to make important decisions on the governance and growth of the School, we are guided bya document that reflects Windward’s priorities and aspirations for the future. That document is Windward’s Strategic Plan, the most recent versionof which charts key goals for the six-year period spanning 2011-2017. I know the Strategic Plan well for many reasons, not the least of which beingthat I helped to develop it as Chair of our very dedicated Strategic Planning Committee. The intensive and lengthy process that yielded the StrategicPlan involved every constituency in our school community: faculty, students, alumni, parents, past parents and members of the Board of Trustees.We conducted discussions, meetings, and focus groups in order to ensure that the roadmap we were creating was true to the school’s Mission, thevision of Tom Gilder, and the founding principles established by Shirley Windward and Carl Parsons more than four decades ago.

Today, almost three years after the current Strategic Plan was implemented, we have again had an opportunity to formally reflect on thisdocument that plays such an important role in the life of our school. Windward proudly maintains membership with accrediting organizationssuch as the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS). As part of the rigorous andcyclical process of evaluation that schools like Windward undertake to maintain this affiliation, at this midpoint in our plan’s life we review ouroriginal Strategic Plan documents and provide an update on the progress made towards attaining the goals we set for our community in 2011.

I am pleased to report that Windward has made considerable, impressive progress on each of the Plan’s eight goals. Through launching ambitiousnew initiatives, developing and expanding our dynamic educational programs, providing support to our faculty and students, and leveraging keyexternal partnerships, Windward has accomplished a great deal in such a relatively short time. Considerable headway has been made in each of thethree themes of the Plan, which focus on program and faculty development, community engagement, and securing the school’s continued fiscalhealth. Slightly less than halfway through the course of action prescribed by the Plan, Windward finds itself in 2014 a school that is better equippedto provide students with the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind needed to succeed in the world of the future.

As part of the team that helped to draft this roadmap, it has been immensely gratifying to watch Windward prosper since focused work towardsthese goals commenced in 2011. The engine of our progress has been the leadership of Tom Gilder and the fruitful partnership he has forgedwith the dedicated members of our Board of Trustees. Tom’s vision and commitment to Windward’s growth are, without doubt, the driving forcethat continues to propel the school forward to greater and greater heights. Looking back at all we have achieved together since 2011, I am at onceproud and honored to partner with Tom and continually learn from his expertise with independent school education. Along with the rest of theBoard, I am eager to look ahead to all that we will achieve together in the years to come.

The tremendous achievements reflected in the school’s progress could not be possible without the contributions and support of many members of ourcommunity. I am deeply grateful to the faculty and staff, who bring enthusiasm, dedication and expertise to school each and every day. Forty yearsafter my own graduation from Windward I still think about the teachers who had a significant impact on my life, and I know that holds true for allWindward alumni. And the important work of our faculty and staff would not be possible without our generous donors, who are teaming with us tofulfill our admittedly ambitious goals. The partnerships within our community have long provided important benefits for Windwardians of every age;with our sustained collaboration, the school will continue to fulfill this important role within the lives of each of its students, past, present, and future.

Windward’s Strategic Plan is not simply a piece of bureaucratic documentation hidden away in a filing cabinet. On the contrary, it informs nearly everychoice that is made at the school; it is referred to in meetings of students, faculty, and parents; it appears on posters that adorn the walls of school offices;and it is discussed each year in the very pages of this Magazine and Annual Report. It is but a document, but the determination of individuals who believein its tenets ultimately give life to the vision that it articulates. While hard work remains to be done in bringing the end products of the 2011-2017Strategic Plan to full fruition, our progress thus far clearly reaffirms the strength and vision of this grand promise to the Windward community.

Sincerely,

Elliot Gordon ’74Board ChairFather of Daniel ’10

Windward’s Faculty: Lifelong LearnersThe constant exchange of ideas and best practices is a key component in fostering a

dynamic learning environment. In 2012-2013, Windward’s teachers, administrators,

and staff attended conferences around the country, shared presentations and best

practices with peers in the educational community, and generated new ideas while

strengthening professional affiliations. The following is just a sampling of some of

Windward School Faculty and Staff (Continued)

Faculty Profile: Geraldine LovelessFor the past two years, science & technology teacher Geraldine Loveless has been authentically incorporating

challenge-based learning into Windward’s middle school science curricula.

Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that asks

students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems.

According to Geraldine, CBL “is the ultimate tool for teaching and learning as it combines relevant problems,

experiential learning, community service, student empowerment, and authentic assessment to create an

environment where students develop deep understandings and engage multiple subject areas to solve a problem.”

With support from Windward’s Faculty Betterment Fund, Geraldine has been further honing her skills by attending

and presenting at numerous academic conferences across the country. At the 2013 Teaching for Social Justice

Conference, Geraldine presented a workshop that introduced Challenge Based Learning as a method of teaching

for social justice. She has also led numerous local workshops where she has worked with educators to plan the

initial steps of their CBL projects at their schools. In 2013, Geraldine presented at the Annual NAIS Conference

about the impact of Challenge Based Learning on student critical thinking, innovation, and collaboration.

Geraldine also presented a workshop at ISTE alongside Technology Director Jim Bologna on the integral role of

technology in supporting innovative and dynamic teaching and learning, which helped prepare educational

leaders to integrate mobile-technology into their curriculum for a more transformative learning experience.

She reflected on her time at ISTE, one of the top technology conferences in the country, by saying, “I loved

presenting in a 1:1 iPad setting, to a room full of so many other passionate educators, with directors of

technology at three other schools, about how we use technology in education. The conference was so focused

on how to truly use technology as a tool to improve learning. It was an incredible experience.”

Faculty Profile: Lisa LamontLisa joined the Windward community in 2009 as a Science and Technology Laboratory Technician and is

currently pursuing her masters in Educational Technology and Media Leadership at Cal State University, Long

Beach. Assuming a new role in Fall 2013 as Educational Technology Specialist, Lisa has been working extensively

with the iPad program, creating professional development programs and exploring how to best assess the

effectiveness of the iPad at Windward. She has been collaborating with faculty on numerous projects such as

faculty from the World Language program, with whom she’s been working closely to facilitate a poetry discussion

forum with a class in Mexico, and she is also currently creating an interdisciplinary course on game design, all

while attending classes at Cal State Long Beach.

“Because Windward has such incredible, forward thinking faculty and has

such a strong emphasis on technology in the curriculum, I have been able to

work on collaborative projects that have been truly meaningful to students.”

During the 2012-2013 school year, Lisa worked with Geraldine Loveless in

science as well as Ann-Marie Hobbs and Jennie Willens to combine science,

technology and service learning in an elementary school eBook collaboration.

The eBook was featured in the 100K in 10 newsletter, an organization that is

striving to get at least 100 thousand tech proficient educators prepared and

in classrooms within the next 10 years.

“Windward has not only supported me financially in this endeavor, but I feel

as though each and every member of the Windward community has supported

me. I am truly blessed in that I get to bring what I am learning in my master’s

program back to Windward and also to be able to share some of the amazing

things I learn here at Windward back to my professors and colleagues at CSULB.”

“I am trulyblessed in that Iget to bring whatI am learning inmy master’s

Initiative and Program Update

and alumni of Windward and the broader community. The evening’s

pre-and post- receptions, which featured special alumni guests,

rounded out the night.

The Windward community gathered at the UCLA Freud Playhouse

this past January in celebration of Windward’s talented young

performing artists and their creative partnership with some of today’s

most renowned dance performers. An Evening of Dance featured

original works performed by Windward’s Dance Company and created

by guest artists Corey Anderson, Norbert de la Cruz III, James Patric

Moran, and Sara Von Gillern as well as special appearances by director

& choreographer Adam Shankman and Windward alumna Jennifer

Gibgot ’87. Attendees were also treated to special performances by

stars from TV’s So You Think You Can Dance? The show finished with

a preview performance by Windward Repertory Ensemble of Dancers

(WRED), a newly created competitive after school dance program for

intermediate/advanced dancers at the middle school level, in a new

work created by Nina Flagg.

Windward’s student-artists are increasingly thriving within their

supportive performing arts “home.” For example, since starting

Windward as a 7th grader in the 2012-2013 school year, Spencer

Lemann ’18 has received numerous honors and awards for his talents

on the guitar. Spencer was the only guitarist selected for the Middle

School Honor Jazz Ensemble, a group of 17 Middle School musicians

from Southern California. He has also produced his own album, which

he sells to the Windward community as part of our “Buy It On The

Bridge” initiative, and he most recently took top honors at Westchester

Rotary’s Jim Bunch 8th grade Arts Competition.

Spencer is just one of the many talented, dedicated student-artists

that have excelled at Windward. And, as the Performing Arts Initiative

continues to grow, even more Windwardians will enjoy the support to

hone their talents while discovering their passions.

Windward vocalists performed in the Clive Davis Theatre at the Grammy Museum.

Initiative and Program Update (Continued)

Performing Arts InitiativeWindward strives to provide creative and collaborative environments

in which students can safely develop their skills and shine as

performing artists. We are in the midst of building a nationally

prominent program, one where students can think of Windward as

their “home” for the arts. Through our burgeoning Performing Arts

Initiative, we have partnered with the local community and

professional artists to give aspiring singers, actors, and musicians

the technical skills they need to turn their interests in performing

arts into a passion or lifelong career. The Performing Arts Initiative

expands and invigorates our performing arts programming, creating

curriculum, performance opportunities, and faculties to best prepare

our students for future education and careers in the arts.

Windward has a rich tradition of vocal music, led by music teacher

John Higgins. Windward’s choral group performed to a packed house

at the Clive Davis Theater at the Grammy Museum in December. The

evening’s event was widely attended by parents, students, faculty,

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Design Arts & Math)

The Windward STEAM program boasts over 70 students involved in

learning 21st century engineering skills and gaining experience with

design problems that involve all STEAM elements. The program gained

momentum in the 2012-2013 school year with a unique partnership

with AECOM, a global leader in architecture, energy, transportation, and

civil engineering, that allowed our students to learn through experiences

with experts in these fields. This outstanding opportunity has been

extended to Windward students in the form of an internship again this

summer. Windward also partnered with Purdue University, and their

EPICS High program which currently enriches our programs by allowing

students to engage in engineering projects through community service.

Through new events, added programs (a 3D printer was added in Fall

2013), and evolving partnerships, Windward continues to build upon

its reputation as a premier STEAM school. Recently, the school was

honored with the selection to participate in the Boeing High School

Internship Program.

With support from donors, the addition of third coach Karalyn Ramon,

and the commitment of student participants, Windward’s already

competitive Robotics team has also risen to new levels of achievement.

In December of 2013, Robotics team 5871d (YoungJae Ryu ’16, Maya

Adberg ’16, Jack Miller ’17, Ethan Block ’17, and Marley Mullin ’17)

won the North San Diego Regional Robotics Tournament, qualifying

the Windward team for the state tournament in March 2014.

Additionally, Team A (Mark Freeman ’15, John Parks ’15, Blaine Williams

’15, Sam Bernstein ’15, and Leo Adberg ’16) won the Think Award and

Programmers Challenge Award for their programming skills.

As opportunities grow for STEAM students, both on campus and at

partner sites, participants will be even better equipped to tackle the

scientific and engineering challenges of tomorrow.

Global ProgramsThe Global Program at Windward places special emphasis on both

global content and global skills. Students cover content on world

languages, world cultures, and global issues while developing skills

necessary to succeed in an interconnected world such as public

speaking, technological fluency, and collaboration. The successful

curriculum sets Windward apart from similar global programs at

other leading independent schools.

Windward’s Global Program began an impressive trajectory of growth

beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. The program expanded to

include 28 Global Scholars who were accepted into specialized study

programs on specific global issues, 24 students in the Global Online

Academy, and 35 students in the 10th grade Global Studies Honors

course. Throughout the Global Program, students are continually

challenged to tackle complex global issues through multiple

perspectives, innovative solutions, and collaborative problem solving.

Faculty members forged two groundbreaking university partnerships

in the past year that will continue to offer expanded learning

opportunities for students.  A collaboration with both the University

of Southern California and the University of Queensland will grant

students access to world-class learning facilities and opportunities

outside the classroom. In our partnership with USC’s Shoah Foundation,

Windward was invited to become an official Partner School. While in

this role, Windward students will have access to vast USC historical

databases, USC’s world-class faculty, and USC’s global network.

Peggy Procter, Eryn Hoffman, and Tom Haglund fostered our newest

partnership with University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia this

past spring. The partnership connects Windward seniors to UQ faculty

and students at the Center for Educational Innovation and the Research

Partnership’s Office. We expect to send almost 30 Windward seniors

to UQ in the spring of 2015 to engage in university-level fieldwork at

UQ’s Heron Island Research Station, located in the middle of the Great

Barrier Reef. Our students will study the impacts of globalization and

climate change on marine life using these incredible resources.

In addition to the Global Program gaining momentum, students are

offered more opportunities for immersion and cultural enlightenment

through a series of international trips. Recent and upcoming global

adventures include trips to Guatemala; Shanghai, China; Tahiti; Cadiz,

Spain; and the Dominican Republic.

The Windward NetworkMany individuals with successful careers have learned the importance

of developing and maintaining strong social networks of friends and

colleagues to help open doors and make them aware of emerging

opportunities.  Our goal is for all Windward students to develop these

critical skills and to be able to take advantage of the professional

knowledge and personal connections that exist within our Windward

Community. By fully capturing the collective wisdom and social

networking of our parents, grandparents, Trustees, alumni and

maintaining ties with these people throughout their lives, we can

provide a vital resource to our students and alums that will give them

a significant edge during their entire lives.

The Windward Network formalizes a process that leverages the

valuable connections that exist within our Windward Community.

Some of the many ways that we have seen the Windward Network at

work this year have been through the Lunch & Learn Series catered

towards students and alumni, as well as the Salon Series and

Windward Institute Speaker Series, which are open to the entire

Windward Community. These events not only serve as a platform for

continued education about various topics of interest, but also bring

students and alumni together with like minded individuals, allowing

new relationships to form and enabling Windwardians to strengthen

their professional network.

Recent speakers include: Jodie Foster (“Creativity and Risk Taking in

Hollywood”) and Dr. Craig Barrett, Former CEO of Intel (“Innovation

and Entrepreneurship in a Global Economy through the Lens of Intel”).

Jonathan Friedland ’77, Chief Communications Officer at Netflix,

teamed up with Billy Ray, screenwriter of

Captain Phillips and The Hunger Games, and

David Goyer, screenwriter of Man of Steel

and The Dark Knight Trilogy, to host an

event entitled “Entertainment in the Age

of New Media.”

In the near future, we plan to host a

speaker series event touching on the

industries of Sports and Business. Our

Network team will continue to diligently

survey various constituencies within our

Windward Community to seek out

connections as we continue hosting

dynamic speakers and providing valuable

professional opportunities.

EntrepreneurshipIn the 2013-14 school year, we continue to build and develop our

Entrepreneurship program by expanding the number of Buy It on

the Bridge events and offering mentorship opportunities to students

engaged in those events. We will compete in the Case Study

Competition again this year, and have started to meet regularly, to

prepare for the competition.   Furthermore, our students had an

opportunity to meet Craig Barrett, the retired CEO and Chairman

of the Board of the Intel Corporation.  Dr. Barrett interacted with

numerous groups in the Windward community including parents,

teachers, and students.   The Windward Entrepreneurship and

Networking Initiative meetings are in full swing and the group has

plans to visit several colleges and universities to investigate programs

and best practices so that we can determine which models fit our

goals and can then be adapted and implemented at Windward.

Taking The FieldAs a result of generous support from the community, Windward

debuted a greatly improved outdoor athletic complex in 2013.

The improvements to the fields included the expansion of the football

field to enable 11-man football game play, new seating in the stands

(for more comfortable viewing), an upgraded baseball diamond, and

professional-style dugouts. During the renovation, the Windward Wall

of Champions feature was added to the new field patio in order to

highlight successful athletes. The signage honors all athletes who

moved on to compete at the collegiate level, and serves as a place to

view all championship titles won by each athletic program in school

history. With this new setup now in place, both players and fans alike

will enjoy all the benefits that home-field advantage can really bring.

Among the many highlights of Windward’s Technical Theater was a

second-place win in the Set and Lights category of the 2013 DTASC

Shakespeare Festival, one of the largest educational theater festivals

in Southern California.

Along with other stage opportunities for Middle School students, the

Windward Theater Workshop offers an opportunity for actors to be

challenged and perform in an after school program. Recent exercises

for participants included learning how to collaborate and write an

original sketch comedy, which was then performed in front of their

families and the entire Middle School community.

Based in Amsterdam, Dakar, andPanama City, Guzman’s multimedia installationsexplore migration, diasporas, and the moving,mixing, and clashing of world cultures. Hisinstallations research transatlantic movements,global networks, and the impulse to create aninternational collective memory. They alsoexplore the mechanisms of power and violenceinherent in the ongoing and open confrontationbetween different worlds, connecting our globalexperiences to the political present as well as tounresolved issues of the colonial past.

At Windward, Guzman created the PSY WindwardMapping Project, an analysis of psychogeographicsocial interaction and spatial mobility. He workedwith our students to create a mapping oftheir identities from the physical and mentalgeographies they traverse in their everyday lives.Using the classic film The Powers of Ten byCharles and Ray Eames as a model for broadeningour understanding of where we exist in theuniverse, students explored and aestheticallyreimagined what it means to be a global citizen.

Picture This: Snapshots for ServiceLike many service learning projects, Windward’s Family Portraits at

WCC, a community service initiative created to provide beautiful

holiday portraits to local families in need, began with a student-

generated idea. Dean of Student Life and Experiential Learning Jennie

Willens reached out to Windward’s frequent community partner,

Westside Children’s Center, for support in housing the budding project.

WCC, which provides educational and family support services to at-

risk children and their families, has volunteers from all over the Los

Angeles area who were thrilled to offer the Family Portraits event to

their clients because it is a service that most of their families would

not otherwise have the financial means to access. In just two years,

the original idea has been transformed into a full-blown program

that is now solely student-produced, and the service has become a

meaningful success for both the families and the students involved.

In December 2013, Willens teamed up with Windward faculty member

Hannah Northenor ’99, who jumped at the opportunity to encourage

her students from Photography II to participate. During the project,

students learned how to use major equipment on-site at the Westside

Children’s Center and gained first-hand experience at what production

work is like in a professional setting. The students then used their

Photoshop skills during the post-production phase, which included

photo editing and DVD burning. “This was a great opportunity to

‘learn outside the classroom’ in an experiential space,” said Northenor.  

Each participating family was given several polished images on a

DVD as well as one 8" x 10" printed image. The final portraits created

such excitement that the number of families taking advantage of the

service  grew significantly from the first year of the program to the

second. During the 2013 holiday season, 45 families participated in

the family holiday portrait event.

“The students were extra motivated because this was something they

were doing that wasn’t necessarily attached to a grade. It was a better

impetus for getting it done, knowing the families were really looking

forward to receiving the finished product,” said Northenor. She added,

“It was great to see my students utilizing the skills they have gained

in the classroom in a real-life community service setting. The students

were working on-site as if these families were actual clients of theirs.”

The students got just as much out of the experience as the

participating families. They learned tangible, real-world skills while

giving back to the community that has been so welcoming to them

over the years.

“It was an amazing experience because I was doing community service

and helping people by doing something I love, which is taking

pictures,” said Windward sophomore Haylie Wollitz.

Windward’s establishment of a learning project within the community

is a testament to the long tradition of service and civic engagement

cherished by students, parents, and faculty. The Westside Children’s

Center has also served as an incubator for such other successful

programs as Book in a Bag, an early childhood literacy project that

was recognized by

President George H.W.

Bush’s Points of Light

Foundation in 2012.

Willens hopes to use this

project and Northenor’s

success as an example of

how service learning in

the curriculum can boost

student enthusiasm and

learning. “Hannah is very

involved in bringing all of

the work into the

classroom, so now we can

cal l i t a t rue ser v ice

learning project,” she

notes. Other departments

and faculty are currently

in development on new

service learning projects

(Spanish classes and science classes will do outreach at Grand View

Blvd Elementary School in the spring of 2014) and Willens hopes to

see more departments collaborate with local partners to create

engaging and hands on projects in the near future.

As he prepared to take office in Summer 2013, Mayor Eric Garcetti conducted a “Back to Basics Community

Meeting” listening tour at select locations around the city. Windward was delighted to partner with the Mayor’s

Office as the Westside location for the visit, and a crowd of nearly 500 families, students, neighbors, volunteers,

and civic leaders came to campus in June for a day of discussion and engagement. Guests were greeted by Dr.

Kevin Newman, who stressed the importance of neighborhood partnerships and noted that Windward students

themselves complete thousands of hours of service activities in every section of the city. Other honored guest

speakers, including U.S. Representative Karen Bass, Councilmember-elect Mike Bonin, and Councilmember

Paul Koretz, emphasized the value of civic participation at every level.

Attendees then broke into discussion groups to talk about the issues facing Los Angeles today. Mayor Garcetti

stopped by each group to listen and dialogue with residents about potential ways these challenges could be

overcome to create a better city.

Along with other speakers who have recently visited the Windward campus for talks about civic engagement –

like former Presidential nominee Gov. Michael Dukakis, City Controller Wendy Gruel, and Big Sunday Founder

David Levinson - the Mayor’s visit presented a tremendous opportunity to engage the wider community in

thinking about the impact citizens can make, both as individuals and together in partnership.

Graduation 2013The members of the Class of 2013 were celebrated during a

commencement ceremony on June 5, 2013. The achievements of

Windward’s graduating seniors were highlighted during an event filled

with poetry, song, and wisdom from classmates, teachers, and Faculty

Speaker Tim O’Hallorhan. Among the many poignant and fitting tributes

to the Class of 2013 was a speech shared by Olivia Uhley, excerpted below:

Olivia Uhley:

Let ’s take a moment to

jump ahead four years.

Each of us will look back on

today and remember it

differently. Each of our

memories represents a

piece of a puzzle. If a

television screen were to

appear above the heads of

each of my classmates, we

would see so many

memories that make up

who they are. We would see

their friends, families, successes and failures. The way we remember

our lives is what makes us diverse and gives us perspective. This is what

makes life beautiful. Today is a joyful event that should be remembered

through a positive lens. I think we have all begun to realize how quickly

time goes as we grow older.

With that, I’d like to remember one person in particular. Shirley

Windward. As many of us know, today marks the first graduation

ceremony in which Shirley is present as a memory. No matter how

each of you remembers her, please keep that memory close to you

throughout today. Whether it is a conversation, a smile, a story, or a

poem that sticks in your minds, that memory represents a very

personal relationship with an incredible woman. To close this section

of the ceremony, I’d like to read one of Shirley’s poems.

Alumni

From the Alumni Council Co-PresidentsThe Windward Alumni Council celebrates its second year by continuing to grow and find new opportunities for engagement. The core of the

Windward experience – strong relationships with teachers, deep friendships, and thought-provoking learning opportunities in the context of

a caring community– continues at the school through the alumni experience as well.

The entire Windward community mourned the loss of Shirley Windward in October 2012, and for alumni of the school, this loss was especially profound.

We have all been touched by her inexhaustible spirit and enthusiasm which left an indelible imprint on our school and shaped generations of Windward

alumni. Her impact was readily apparent from the many alumni who paid tribute to Shirley at the Remembrance and Celebration and shared their stories

and memories online. Though she is no longer with us physically, we each carry on her legacy through our shared experiences at Windward and beyond.

Windward remains a tight-knit community that transcends geographic boundaries. By expanding our outreach efforts beyond the borders of Los Angeles, we

welcomed alumni at mixers held in New York and the Bay Area. Windward also continues to provide educational opportunities to those of us

who are dedicated lifelong learners. The Windward Institute Salon Series brought Michael Dukakis to campus for an engaging and passionate conversation

about public service. Alumni had the opportunity to talk with him directly at a special reception before the event. The Scotch Tasting brought

alumni together from all generations to bond over the many varieties of malted scotch and refine their palettes. Reunion Weekend brought over 200

alumni, family, and friends back to campus to connect with classmates and beloved faculty for milestone year reunion dinners and the All Alumni Picnic.

Embracing the intrinsic connections within the Windward community, alumni are engaging in innovative ways: from hosting internships for

Windward seniors, helping a fellow alum find a job, and speaking to students on campus. Through the formalization of the Windward Network,

our strong community bonds can be tapped to offer greater resources to help alumni advance their careers or seek advice and education.

We’ve also seen a spirit of philanthropic giving reach new heights this year, enabling faculty to pursue professional development and giving deserving

students the opportunity to have a Windward education. As Shirley advocated, even one person can make a difference and influence the lives of so many.

Each of us has that potential and a responsibility to make our community stronger so that the next generation of Windward alumni has the same, if not

better, experience we had. As Shirley could attest, the more we can find opportunities to give of ourselves, the more we can discover enrichment in kind.

Sincerely,

Emily Kovner Moss ’91 Rob Pasnau ’85Alumni Council Co-President Alumni Council Co-President

Five Questions with Manish Raval ’81

Q: What is your most memorable experience as aWindward student?

I was in a band while attending Windward and I remember playing the

Roxy in West Hollywood and seeing so many Windward students and

faculty in the audience. It was truly a warm and supporting community.

Q: Who was your favorite Windward teacher?

There were many... Jerry Kalaf, Natalie White, Dave Johnson...

Q: Why did you join the Alumni Council?

I joined the Windward Alumni Council because I am still in touch

with a lot of my fellow classmates from 1992. I had a great time

organizing our 20th reunion and felt that I could help keep everyone

in touch with what’s happening at Windward.

Q: What did you do after you graduatedfrom Windward?

After graduating from Windward, I moved to Berkeley with my band

Souled Out (with fellow Windward students Ben Silverman, Erol Tamer

and Adam Spira). After a couple years up North, I returned to Los

Angeles and attended UCLA. I was then offered a job as a music

supervisor during my junior year and never graduated...

Q: What is your current career?

I am a Music Supervisor and Music Editor for films and television.

15 years ago, I started my own company Aperture Music with

my friend Tom Wolfe. We’ve worked on over 50 films including

Donnie Darko, There’s Something About Mary, Fruitvale Station and

Bad Teacher (directed by Windward classmate Jake Kasdan). We

are also currently working on the HBO television show Girls as

well as New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel and The Crazy Ones

starring Robin Williams.

2013 Alumni Picnic

Q: What was your most memorable experience as aWindward student?

There were too many to name just one – Shirley’s classroom,

Shakespeare with Daniel, American Lit with Natalie, Biology & Zoology

with Rolfe, Pre-Calculus with Ray, ski trips with Ray and John, the

volleyball team with Gail and Bernie. Daniel and Bob Stephens and

their shenanigans, prom scavenger hunts…and the list goes on.

Q: Why did you join the Alumni Council?

Because Robbie Pasnau asked me to. And, it seemed like a great way

to reconnect with Windward and hopefully give back to the school

that gave me so much.

Q: Who was your favorite Windward teacher?

Impossible!! I feel incredibly blessed to have been taught by so many

wonderful teachers, many of whom I remain in touch with today. As

wonderful as my peer group was at Windward, it is the teachers that

made my time at Windward the truly unique and valuable experience

I so treasure.

Q: What did you do after you graduated fromWindward?

I graduated from Stanford (’85) where I majored in English Literature.

I then spent many years in Finance and Investment banking, first

with Bankers Trust (1985-1989) and then with The Yucaipa Companies

(1989 – 2000) where I was a partner before retiring to raise my three

children: Sara (Princeton ’14), Erin (Colby ’16) and David (Chadwick

School ’16) - the best job of all!

Q: What is your current career?

In 2010 I fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening an independent

bookstore, {pages}, a bookstore in Manhattan Beach. Everyday I’m

surrounded by books and passionate and curious readers. I often

reflect back on Shirley and Natalie’s English classes which I’m sure

fostered my love of reading. One of my favorite pleasures of owning

{pages} is employing young and enthusiastic book lovers including

Windward students and alum Sophie Taylor ’16 and Jack Taylor ’12.

Spring Event 2013 (Continued)

A Night in Paradise (Cove)!!The 2013 Spring Event, Surfin’ Safari at Paradise

Cove, was truly a magical night. From the

stunning beach setting to the delicious food

to the rocking Beach Boys cover band, the

evening was full of “Good Vibrations” and “Fun,

Fun, Fun!”

The evening would not have been possible

without our amazing Co-Chairs Andi Holtzman

and Mary-Dorothy Line. Thank you for the time

and energy you dedicated to transport all of us to our Surfin’ Safari beach party. Our fantastic Parent

Guild Volunteers - Ann Capogrosso, Debbie Markiles, Abbe Shapiro, Dana Baer, Michelle Katz, Berit

Kerner, Kathleen Boltiansky, Robin Jameson, Ellen Simmons, Gretchen Humbert, Amanda Dumas-Stein,

and Richard Wilks – all helped create a wonderful event and made sure that there were no “wipe-outs.”

Thank you to George Rosenthal and Karen Sharp Rosenthal for generously donating bottles of wine

that perfectly complemented the evening’s meal.

A very special and heartfelt thanks goes out to Bob

and Kerry Morris, hosts extraordinaire. We are so

grateful to you for welcoming the Windward

community to Paradise Cove, for serving delicious

food, and for creating a magnificent event that will

be remembered for years to come.

We would also like to thank the entire Windward

community for their support, especially everyone

who sponsored the event and donated amazing

auction items.

Cowabunga!

Cash, Check, or Credit CardAn outright cash donation is a fully tax deductible gift in the tax year given, within the

guidelines established by the IRS. Cash gifts can be made by check or can be charged to

your Visa or MasterCard. Credit card gifts can be made over the phone at 310.391.7127,

ext. 283, or online at www.windwardschool.org/give.

PledgesWindward welcomes your gift through a pledge – a formal statement of intention to

make a gift to the School. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular

payments over time. All pledges to the Annual Fund must be completed by the end of

the fiscal year, June 30th.

SecuritiesA gift of appreciated securities entitles the donor to a charitable deduction for its full

current market value, without paying the capital gains tax on the appreciation, which

would be required if the securities were sold for personal gain. Contact the Advancement

Office for stock transfer instructions.

Matching GiftsMany companies will match gifts that their employees (and sometimes spouses of

employees) make to secondary schools. Please send your company’s matching gift form

along with your gift.

Planned GivingDonors may wish to consider giving through such means as wills, life insurance, bequests,

or charitable trusts. Please contact your financial planner for information about how

planned giving can earn valuable income-tax deductions and reduce your estate taxes.

For more information on any of the above ways to give, pleasecontact the Advancement Office at 310.391.7127.
