Students in Josh Weisgrau’s Upper <strong>School</strong> photography classes last spring focused their<br />
portraiture project on the style popularized by Richard Avedon. This style consists of a<br />
basic studio setup with a plain white backdrop. Subjects are invited to “come as they are”<br />
or bring with them a significant representative object. What developed was a true picture<br />
of the FCS community—vibrant, original, diverse, and real!

Letter from the Head of <strong>School</strong><br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Great communicators have a way of capturing the biggest ideas with<br />
simple, memorable images.<br />
I recently attended an educational conference<br />
where the presenter started with the question,<br />
“Your school has three choices: you can be on<br />
a train to the future; you can be at the station<br />
waiting for the train to stop; or you can be saddling<br />
a horse, looking to the past with optimism. What<br />
are you doing?”<br />
Provocative? Yes. And certainly the point<br />
gets made. We need to intentionally, boldly<br />
construct the foundation and the framework for<br />
great teachers to practice their craft. The best<br />
independent schools leverage the advantages of<br />
independence, where teachers can have a great<br />
idea over the weekend and implement it on<br />
Monday without fear of losing the ability to teach to an almighty test. I think you will see<br />
evidence of this kind of energizing freedom all through this issue of <strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong>.<br />
We also get to ask an even bigger question at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>, regardless of the “age”<br />
we are in—that is, how well are we balancing time and eternity? Our community<br />
knows we have a huge advantage right from the beginning—we get to start with<br />
Meeting for Worship.<br />
This September, I participated in Meeting for Worship with students for the first time<br />
in more than five years, and I was reminded why our students have such a distinctive<br />
combination of compassion and innovation in their collective DNA. Experiencing 45<br />
minutes of silence with 400 sophisticated, plugged-in high school students begins to<br />
explain the magic of a Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> education—our students listen well to themselves<br />
and to others, and from there the roots of divergent, creative thinking take hold and<br />
grow. Innovation, like compassion, begins in that small, still place inside. We tend to that<br />
place in each of us every week at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>.<br />
I have no doubt that this issue of <strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong> will impress you with details and<br />
destinations related to Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s train to the future. Even though my family<br />
and I are the new kids at school, it is clear that these tracks of progress have delivered a<br />
transforming education since 1845. We are, to be sure, just as certain that Meeting for<br />
Worship is central to our progress, regardless of the era.<br />
In this way, we continue to balance time and eternity—a perfect approach for a<br />
school determined to move boldly into the future while remaining grounded in our<br />
sustaining traditions. QW<br />

article Beth Burrell wrote for<br />
<strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong>! I enjoyed reading<br />
it and now more fully appreciate<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s<br />

Please note that Charlotte DeCosta<br />
created the Lower <strong>School</strong> Fall<br />
Thematic Project, not Michi<br />
Tashjian, as stated in the “Tradition<br />
of Innovation Guides our Future”<br />
article in <strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong>. Charlotte<br />
was the principal before Michi, and<br />
she began the fall themes in 1968<br />
with “<strong>Quaker</strong>ism.” Its purpose was<br />
to develop a sense of unity and<br />
strengthen collegiality among the<br />
Lower <strong>School</strong> faculty. Later these<br />
developed into what we have today.<br />
Charlotte presided over fall projects<br />
for about 10 years, including the<br />
most significant one, “Terra,” which<br />
created what we do have today.<br />
Michi taught 4th grade in those<br />
days and worked on these themes<br />
with the rest of us as a teacher and<br />
then continued the tradition when<br />
she became principal. Charlotte led<br />
many innovations in the late ’60’s<br />
and the ’70’s in Lower <strong>School</strong>.<br />

In the most recent FCS magazine,<br />
it is noted that in 1965 Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> left the Inter-Ac League<br />
for the Penn Jersey League for<br />
sports. In 1965 the football team,<br />
which was getting hammered in<br />
the Inter-Ac, did switch leagues,<br />
which had immediate benefits as<br />
they went 5-3, the first winning<br />
season in several years. For all other<br />
sports, we continued to play a full<br />
Inter-Ac schedule until a couple of<br />
years after I graduated. We were<br />
still overmatched in basketball<br />
(Germantown Academy, best team<br />
in the city in 1967, beat us 98-26 on<br />
our home court!), but we at least<br />
held our own in soccer, baseball,<br />
track, and most other sports. Along<br />
with Germantown Friends, we were<br />
the only co-ed school in the Inter-<br />
Ac, had many fewer boys to play<br />
on teams, and didn’t recruit. I can<br />
only say I relished every victory we<br />
had on the soccer field and baseball<br />
diamond!<br />
Ron Diment ’67<br />
EDiTOR’S nOTE: While football joined<br />
the Penn Jersey League in 1965, all other<br />
sports did not join until 1969.<br />

the University of<br />

they participated in<br />
workshops, explored the works of well-known writers, and wrote<br />
(and re-wrote!) their own material.<br />
“I wanted to discover a writing style I can call my own,” says Price-<br />
Sanchez, who attended the poetry workshop. “Poetry can do a lot<br />
of good in the world. It gives well-deserved weight to topics that<br />
sometimes get overlooked.”<br />
Archard sought to continue her growth as a prose writer. “FCS has<br />
taught me how to be more analytical and technically proficient in my<br />
literature and history essays,” she says, “but I also found this to be<br />
very helpful in my prose. I really want to learn how to simplify my<br />
writing while maintaining a sense of honesty.”<br />

This past March, grade 2C held its annual Notable People<br />
Convention. Each of the children dressed up as the notable person<br />
he or she had been studying since January. Parents and teachers<br />
asked each student questions and tried to guess who they were,<br />
and then the children went up on stage for a presentation. After<br />
returning to their classroom, the group of students and parents<br />
enjoyed a buffet of food representing something about each of the<br />
Notable People, and they looked at portraits drawn by the students<br />
and letters written to their respective Notable People.<br />

This year, students in Leslie Grace’s Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
service group embarked on a creative, fun, and fulfilling<br />
project: making tie-dyed “pillow case dresses” for girls<br />
in need. At the onset of the project, many pillow cases<br />
were donated by the FCS community, but they were<br />
mostly all white.<br />
“We decided to tie-dye them to add a little pizazz and<br />
color! We think this will be an annual tradition for us<br />
now,” says Grace.<br />
Once the fabric dried, the seamstresses in the group<br />
sewed simple dresses, which will be donated to girls in<br />
need. With their hard work and creativity, the students<br />
in this service group began a project that promises to<br />
help young children in need for years to come.<br />

It took 14 grueling rounds, but with a successful spelling<br />
of “sumptuary,” Galen Cassidy (pictured here with<br />
runner-up Annie Roberts) took home the title in the Fifth<br />
Annual Prima Lingua and the Bee Spelling Contest in<br />
April. The 6th grade Prima Lingua class studied a unit<br />
on Latin prepositions and how these words are used as<br />
prefixes in other languages such as English, French,<br />
Spanish, and Italian.<br />
Says Middle <strong>School</strong> language teacher Margaret Roberts,<br />
“Knowing the Latin prepositions enables us to break<br />
down large words that have prefixes and know something<br />
about the definition of those words. We watched the<br />
movie Akeelah and the Bee in preparation, and one of the<br />
messages in the movie is that large words are made from<br />
smaller words. Understanding Latin prepositions and root<br />
words builds our vocabulary exponentially — and not just<br />
our English vocabulary.”

As part of the Annenberg High <strong>School</strong> Science Symposium<br />

as a Trojan horse to enter cells. The presentation wowed<br />
the panel of doctors, and the video became a YouTube hit.<br />
Myles Everett ’12 wrote the music for the song and co-wrote<br />
the lyrics with the rest of his classmates.<br />
Advaxis, a clinical stage biotech startup company near<br />
Princeton, N.J., that developed the vaccine, was so<br />

the Wonderful service-thru-art Jonny<br />
scene-n-heard Word-roots mural project<br />
This year the students in art teacher Caroline Maw-Deis’ Service-thru-Art<br />
program put their creative energy and artistic skill to good use to transform the<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong> basement walls. These Middle <strong>School</strong> students, and a few parents,<br />
faculty, and alumnae/ae volunteers, worked to create a wonderfully complex<br />
(it even incorporates root words from different languages) and colorful mural.<br />
Through Meg Saligman (current parent and Philadelphia mural artist), Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> enjoyed working with Jonny Buss, a graffiti artist who now collaborates<br />
with the Mural Arts Program. Buss helped the students bring their ideas to visual<br />
representations.<br />
“This experience was amazing on many different levels: introducing students to a<br />
working artist, witnessing students taking pride and ownership in a piece they all<br />
collaborated on, all of us painting together to beautify the campus, and in doing<br />
so, delighting in a unified ‘family feeling’ as several students later reflected!”<br />

brian greene StretcheS MindS at friendS’ central<br />
Like the vibrating filaments of string theory or our expanding universe, Brian Greene stretched<br />
the minds of the Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> community during a series of intimate classroom discussions<br />
in the afternoon and a packed-house public lecture in the evening as part of the <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
Distinguished visiting Scientist Lecture Series on April 11.<br />
tuesday, october 23, <strong>2012</strong><br />
City Avenue Campus • 7:00 pm<br />
So many of us have left curriculum<br />
nights wishing we could go back to<br />
school - well, parents, here is your<br />
chance! A Night Out in the Classroom,<br />
sponsored by the Advancement Office,<br />
is your opportunity to appreciate your<br />
children’s teachers in a whole new<br />
way. Choose a class from a variety of<br />
possibilities, sit back and... learn.<br />
Check your email for sign-up<br />
information.<br />
Greene, professor, physicist, string theorist, and author, is<br />
described as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the<br />
world today” by The Washington Post. A professor of physics and<br />
mathematics at Columbia University, Greene has focused on unified<br />
theories for more than 25 years. He has written several best-selling<br />
and non-technical books on the subject including The Elegant<br />
Universe, a Pulitzer finalist. Greene captivated the crowd of more<br />
than 500 during his public lecture as he wove his tale of dark matter,<br />
additional dimensions, and the multiverse—the idea that ours is but<br />
one of many universes in the cosmos.<br />
Said Upper <strong>School</strong> physics teacher Deb Maraziti, “Brian Greene<br />
pressed the ideas of intellectual freedom and of getting students<br />
to think outside of the box. He encouraged our students to not be<br />
afraid to take risks. A lot of times, especially in the world of science,<br />
students are too concerned with finding the right answer. Brian<br />
stressed the idea of finding a solution, not just one right answer. The<br />

Listen, Learn, and Lead • A new era Begins with The Sellers Family<br />
With fresh<br />
eyes and<br />
the mantra<br />
“Listen, Learn,<br />
and Lead,”<br />
Craig’s eagerness and<br />
excitement to kick off<br />
the <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong> school<br />
year, along with his<br />
passion for education, was palpable and<br />
contagious during the first weeks of school. I sat<br />
down with Craig to find out a little more about<br />
the Sellers family, as well as Craig the leader,<br />
Craig the person, and his vision for the future of<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Q: Welcome to FCS! What were<br />
your reasons for taking this<br />
job? Why Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>?<br />
A: Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> for me has<br />
always been one of those mythic<br />
schools – you always knew about<br />
it and had great respect for this<br />
“rock solid” school—but it rarely<br />
had openings. I couldn’t believe<br />
the Head of <strong>School</strong> position was<br />
open. For me, it was always one of<br />
those jobs that was exceptional but<br />
unattainable and not likely to cross<br />
my path. I flashed back to our tour<br />
with David Felsen, about 15 years<br />
ago, when I was working at United<br />
Friends <strong>School</strong> in <strong>Quaker</strong>town.<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> for us was,<br />
and still is, a school with values<br />
deeply in line with our values.<br />
This position has now given me an<br />
opportunity to go deeper to a place<br />
where I can align my professional<br />
values with my personal values.<br />
When you find that, you have to<br />
grab it.<br />
Q: It must have been hard<br />
moving your whole family,<br />
including two teenage children,<br />
from their town and their<br />
school. What was Cary’s<br />
reaction to your candidacy at<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>, and to moving<br />
to the Philadelphia area?<br />
A: In the beginning, [the<br />
opportunity to be the Head of<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>] seemed so farfetched—an<br />
opportunity I was<br />
almost never going to be able<br />
to have. We were very happy in<br />
New Hampshire, working at a<br />
great school, one that fulfilled<br />
my professional values. When<br />
the search was narrowed down<br />
to about eight candidates, we<br />
went from investigating to truly<br />
investing—Cary and I realized that<br />
we really wanted this. Then, when<br />
I saw Al Vernacchio’s article in The<br />
New York Times Magazine, I remember<br />
thinking that it was a sign—that<br />
I not only needed apply for this<br />
position, but to really investigate<br />
and dig deeper into the opportunity<br />
to lead at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>.<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s connection<br />
to its <strong>Quaker</strong>ism is a great fit<br />
with our personal values. It is a<br />
wonderful place for our family. That<br />
combination worked and just made<br />
sense. Cary said to me when I began<br />
at Derryfield that, the next time<br />
we moved, it had to be to “a place.”<br />
I asked her what that meant. She<br />
said, “like a city—a real, live place.”<br />
Philadelphia is exactly where we<br />
wanted to be, and Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> is<br />
the exact school we wanted to join.<br />
Q: What are your first<br />
impressions of Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> after being here for<br />
almost two months now?<br />
Though I haven’t been here long,<br />
my impressions are that there is<br />
a sense of professionalism and<br />
pride in the faculty that is truly<br />
inspiring, a physical plant that<br />
is exceptional—Doug Linton’s<br />
passion for the external campus<br />
is amazing—and I’m constantly<br />
aware of a community that is always<br />
welcoming of Cary and me and is<br />
ready for my family. I wanted to be
at a place where my children could<br />
thrive, and it is a blessing to have<br />
my family here.<br />
Q: What do you feel are<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s greatest<br />
strengths?<br />
A: Some of my initial perceptions<br />
and intuition of Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s<br />
strengths are the <strong>School</strong>’s commitment<br />
to its <strong>Quaker</strong> tradition and values, as<br />
both its difference and differentiation,<br />
and its driving force for excellence,<br />
which is continually brought to my<br />
attention. Teachers are both seeking<br />
ways to create the curriculum around<br />
<strong>Quaker</strong> values and pushing the<br />
envelope in their respective subject<br />
areas, which <strong>Quaker</strong>s have been<br />
known for in the realm of education.<br />
The soul of the place is its awareness<br />
of its <strong>Quaker</strong> roots.<br />
Q: What is your vision for<br />
Friends’ central?<br />
A: What I’m going to do in my first<br />
year is “Listen, Learn, and Lead.”<br />
I’m going to spend a lot of time<br />
listening—I know there is a lot to<br />
learn from a community of people<br />
at the top of their game. Then, as a<br />
community, we need to ask ourselves<br />
“Where is the North Star? Where<br />
do we go from here?” From that<br />
point, I’ll know where to lead. My<br />
instincts are to continue to look<br />
at new markets while still serving<br />
our present folks, think globally,<br />
and continue to find ways to use<br />
technology to bridge the divides.<br />
How can adults use that technology<br />
to keep going and keep learning?<br />
<strong>Quaker</strong> educator Anthony<br />
Benezet explained education well<br />
when he said “The best education<br />
balances a world that is and a world<br />
“ FrIendS’ <strong>Central</strong> for me<br />
has always been one of those mythic<br />
schools – you always knew about it and<br />
hAd greAt reSPeCt for this<br />
‘rock solid’ school”<br />
that ought to be.” I agree with this<br />
statement wholeheartedly, and I<br />
feel that <strong>Quaker</strong> schools succeed at<br />
finding that balance.<br />
Q: You are very active on<br />
Twitter—what are your<br />
thoughts on social media as a<br />
whole, and how will that shape<br />
your communication with the<br />
community?<br />
A: I’m a big believer in<br />
ambidextrous communication. I’m<br />
active on Twitter, blogging, and<br />
emails, but I also communicate<br />
through letters, and will eventually<br />
offer “Coffees with Craig” for parents,<br />
staff, students, and alumni/ae. People<br />
will find the channel that works<br />
best for them. Social Media is<br />
fascinating—we’re still figuring out<br />
its power. My instinct is that the<br />
essence of it connects all of us in<br />
incredible ways.<br />
Q: Where did you grow up?<br />
A: I was born and lived the first<br />
years of my life in Levittown, Pa. I<br />
attended William Penn Preschool,<br />
of which I have no memory. Then,<br />
my family moved to Cape Cod when<br />
I was in third grade. I attended a<br />
small public school, North Falmouth<br />
elementary school, where many of<br />
the teachers were members of the<br />
Meeting. Though it was a public<br />
school, it was influenced heavily<br />
by Friends.<br />
Q: What path took you to<br />
Friends education, and then to<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>?<br />
A: After graduating from Franklin<br />
& Marshall in 1984, I took a year<br />
off to do photography around the<br />
world. That year off was the most<br />
amazing experience of my life.<br />
When I came back home, I attended<br />
law school in Manhattan. I met<br />
Cary at a conference in New York.<br />
She was one of the presenters, and<br />
I was working on Wall Street at the<br />
time. After Cary and I got married<br />
and had been living together for a<br />
while, Cary began teaching at The<br />
Spence <strong>School</strong>. I couldn’t help but<br />
notice that I was coming home to a<br />
wife who was truly happy and was<br />
making the world a better place, and<br />
I wasn’t. I decided that I wanted<br />
a piece of that happiness, too, but<br />
wasn’t sure how to get it. Cary<br />
suggested I meet with the Head<br />
of Spence <strong>School</strong>, who suggested<br />
I meet with Rich Eldridge, Head<br />
of Friends Seminary. Rich assured<br />
me this was just an informational<br />
meeting, that I wasn’t going to get<br />
a job out of it. I said that I would<br />
take him out to lunch until I did.<br />
During my visit, Rich encouraged<br />
me to sit in on Meeting for Worship.<br />
It was sitting in Meeting that I had<br />
fall <strong>2012</strong> magazine 15
an amazing moment of clarity. It<br />
felt like I was coming home. I called<br />
my mom later in the week to tell her<br />
about my day and about how I felt at<br />
Meeting for Worship. She said “Yes,<br />
well, that’s because you went to a<br />
<strong>Quaker</strong> Preschool.” Of course, I had<br />
no recollection of that, so I said, “No,<br />
I didn’t.” She said, “Yes, you did. I’ll<br />
send you the diploma.” That diploma<br />
is the only one hanging in my office.<br />
“ Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> is A<br />
greAt FIt for<br />
its <strong>Quaker</strong>ness,<br />
and ours. It IS A<br />
WonderFul<br />
PlACe for<br />
our family. that<br />
combination<br />
worked and just<br />
made sense. ”<br />
Back to Friends Seminary, it<br />
took them 18 months, but Rich<br />
finally did give me a job, running<br />
the development office and teaching<br />
constitutional law to juniors and<br />
seniors. After a while, I felt like<br />
I should really get a degree in<br />
education, so, a subway ride away,<br />
I enrolled and got my Master’s<br />
at Klingenstein Center Teachers’<br />
College at Columbia University. A<br />
few years later, my wife and I joined<br />
Morningside Meeting in New York.<br />
Then, I started working at United<br />
Friends <strong>School</strong>, a small Pre-K to 8<br />
<strong>School</strong> in <strong>Quaker</strong>town, Pa., where<br />
my kids attended from Pre-K<br />
through grade 4. While at United<br />
Friends, I went to Thailand on a<br />
Fulbright Scholarship. I realized I was<br />
missing the older children, and how<br />
larger schools connect to one another.<br />
When I returned, I knew I was ready<br />
for the next step, which turned out<br />
to be Head of Derryfield. After a few<br />
years, I realized I was missing the<br />
connection to my <strong>Quaker</strong> faith, as well<br />
as the younger children. So, when I<br />
reflect on being here, at a Nursery<br />
through grade 12 Friends school with<br />
the stature of Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>, I still<br />
get tingles thinking about it.<br />
Q: What are your passions?<br />
A: I’m a big basketball fan,<br />
particularly the Celtics, but I’m on<br />
my way to converting to the Sixers!<br />
I also really enjoy photography and<br />
always find a place for photography<br />
in my life.<br />
Q: Can you share some of your<br />
favorite books or authors?<br />
What are you reading right<br />
now?<br />
A: Recently I discovered the New<br />
Yorker on the iPad. Now I can’t put<br />
it down. I also really enjoy Malcolm<br />
Gladwell—a big thinker who captures<br />
so much—Tom Friedman, Barbara<br />
Kingsolver, and John McPhee.<br />
Q: Who are your favorite<br />
musicians?<br />
A: I really enjoy classic 70s music,<br />
Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni<br />
Mitchell, and Pete Seeger.<br />
Q: What do you feel are your<br />
greatest strengths?<br />
A: I just went through four months<br />
of a community saying goodbye.<br />
Folks have thought of me in terms<br />
of physical plant; that’s not what I<br />
want to be known for. I’ve helped<br />
schools with their vision and<br />
mission. Children at Friends schools<br />
learn best when they develop their<br />
eye for the invisible and their ear for<br />
the unspoken, and if I can be a part<br />
of that, I will be thrilled. QW<br />

Th e Cl a s s of <strong>2012</strong> em b a r k s o n a ne w Jo u r n e y<br />
A Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> education is very much an intellectual journey, as students<br />
are encouraged to forge their own path, guided by the <strong>Quaker</strong> values that<br />
have infused their learning. On June 9,the 96 members of the Class of <strong>2012</strong><br />
embarked on a new journey, as they look toward a future of engagement<br />
and leadership in college and throughout their lives.<br />
As the sun peaked through what was an overcast<br />
morning, the Class of <strong>2012</strong> and their families and friends<br />
enjoyed a spirited day of reflection and anticipation, as<br />
they shared stories of their time at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> and<br />
their hopes for the future.<br />
Nicolas DeFina was one of two student speakers at<br />
the ceremony. He talked about his struggles with regret,<br />
calling it a “subversively powerful demoralizer,” but he<br />
encouraged his classmates to use regret in a beneficial<br />
way. He quoted playwright Fulton Oursler, who said that<br />
“many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret<br />
for the past and fear for the future.” He challenged his<br />
classmates to accept their past experiences and use them<br />
to take advantage of their greatest assets, “enthusiasm,<br />
curiosity, fearlessness, and compassion.”<br />
“What matters the most is what experiences,<br />
friendships, and lessons you have behind you,” DeFina<br />
said. “This, my classmates, is what will get us through<br />
the mysteries of the future. All we must do is embrace<br />
our beautifully erratic pasts; don’t regret them. Free<br />
yourselves. You deserve it.”<br />
By Jim mAcK<br />
Kirsten Easley was the second student speaker. She<br />
noted the similarities between the now-famous “opposite<br />
of loneliness” reflection by Yale graduate Marina Keegan.<br />
Easley expected to be an outsider upon entering Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> as a freshman. What she discovered, though, was<br />
that she was “surrounded by people who were willing and<br />
eager to embrace me and my differences.”<br />
“That’s what I love most about Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> and<br />
the people here,” Easley said. “Everyone can come here<br />
with different beliefs and world views and no one is<br />
discouraged from sharing them … the embrace and love<br />
of community and our differences are what make Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> so special.”<br />
Easley came back to Keegan’s essay as she ended her<br />
speech, noting that she realized that she and Keegan<br />
were feeling a lot of the same emotions. “Though we<br />
were in different places in our lives, the feelings brought<br />
to the surface by getting ready to leave one community<br />
and to take on the task of finding another were very<br />
similar,” Easley said. “Her optimism about her future<br />
and the futures of her fellow graduates was infectious,<br />
fall <strong>2012</strong> magazine 19
20<br />
COMMeNCeMeNT <strong>2012</strong><br />
and I couldn’t help but believe in every word she spoke.<br />
I feel the same way about our futures as we leave<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>.”<br />
This year’s faculty speaker was Carrie Brodsky,<br />
Co-Director of College Counseling, whose son,<br />
Joey Brodsky, graduated this year. Brodsky related<br />
the difficulty in boiling down the complex sum of<br />
a students’ life and aspirations to “the rigid format<br />
of the Common Application.” A quote by Albert<br />
Einstein hangs in her office to reassure her advisees:<br />
“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not<br />
everything that counts can be counted.”<br />
Brodsky spoke eloquently of the many things that<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> students do that matter, but cannot<br />
be counted, things such as gratitude and engagement.<br />
She the retold the story of golf balls in the jar—how<br />
the golf balls are the important things, like family and<br />
friends, and they can fill up the jar. But pebbles still<br />
fit, these are jobs and houses and cars. Even these do<br />
Carrie Brodsky<br />
not fill the jar, completely, as sand can fill in the spaces.<br />
Sand represents everything else in life. The lesson is<br />
that if the sand goes in first, there is not room for the<br />
important things. “The same goes for life,” Brodsky<br />
said, “if you spend all your time and energy on the<br />
small stuff, there is no room for the things that are<br />
important to you.”<br />
“As you leave Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> today,” Brodsky<br />
concluded, “confident, talented young adults, ready to<br />
make your mark in the world, I encourage you to live<br />
an engaged life, express gratitude for the things that<br />
matter most to you, and be sure to pay attention to the<br />
things that can’t be counted.” QW<br />

A Passion for Invention, A Bold entrepreneur<br />
An invention by Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> <strong>School</strong> alumnus<br />
Spencer Hewett will allow shoppers to pay for their<br />
goods with a tap of their smart phones, while ensuring<br />
that merchandise will not leave the store without being<br />
purchased. It is a system that has the young entrepreneur on<br />
the verge of transforming the retail industry.<br />
Hewett has wanted to be an<br />
inventor since he was three years<br />
old, and the pursuit of his ideas has<br />
occupied his thoughts and actions<br />
for as long as he can remember.<br />
Hewett graduated from Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> in 2010 … barely, he admits.<br />
“I was diagnosed with ADHD<br />
in third grade,” Hewett easily<br />
offers. “My teachers sometimes had<br />
a hard time with me.” As he sits<br />
comfortably on a bench in the shady<br />
center of Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s campus,<br />
you get the sense that his words ring<br />
of understatement.<br />
Hewett admits that he was a<br />
challenging student and found it hard<br />
to maintain focus on projects that he<br />
did not find stimulating … especially<br />
art projects. “I am a perfectionist,”<br />
Hewett says. “It is hard for me to<br />
turn in projects when they are not<br />
good. So, I am late, or I don’t turn<br />
them in at all. If it wasn’t for my<br />
advisors, Keith Buckingham and<br />
Laura Haimm, going to bat for me<br />
and also urging me to finish my art<br />
projects, I wouldn’t have graduated,”<br />
he says in that same easy manner<br />
of someone who has embraced his<br />
eccentricities. “The thing is, I really<br />
liked my classes! Friends’ <strong>Central</strong><br />
is an inspiring place, and I had<br />
many teachers who were passionate<br />
about what they did and encouraged<br />
independent thinking.”<br />
Buckingham is a popular Upper<br />
<strong>School</strong> science teacher who saw<br />
that Hewett’s perfectionism was<br />
his greatest fault and also his<br />
greatest asset. “Spencer wants free<br />
and rapid flow of information and<br />
ideas, and rapid decision-making,”<br />
Buckingham says. “He is extremely<br />
goal-oriented, but he is freewheeling<br />
Spencer hewett ’10<br />
and values autonomy. The downside<br />
is that when he doesn’t see the value<br />
in the work, he doesn’t do it.”<br />
In third grade Hewett invented<br />
a peer-to-peer cell phone network.<br />
In high school Hewett and a<br />
friend started a company that built<br />
personal computers with advanced<br />
cooling systems, one of the many<br />
side endeavors to which he has<br />
devoted his time.<br />
“Mr. Buckingham supported my<br />
computer business and realized that<br />
my education did not consist solely<br />
of my classes,” Hewett says. “He<br />
recognized the importance of my<br />
business to my learning.”<br />
“Spencer values many of the<br />
things that I find intellectually<br />
stimulating,” Buckingham adds. “He<br />
is willing to take chances, and he is<br />
exceptionally tolerant of technical<br />
failure if the potential payoff from<br />
success will likely be high.”<br />
Now, another mentor has<br />
recognized Hewett’s brilliance and<br />
has given him a $100,000 fellowship<br />
to pursue his passion. PayPal<br />
founder Peter Thiel, through his<br />
Thiel Foundation “20 Under 20”<br />
program, selected Hewett as one of<br />
this year’s crop of Thiel Fellows—a<br />
group of 20 creative and ambitious<br />
thinkers aged 20 or younger who<br />
are guided by scientists, engineers,<br />
inventors, and entrepreneurs to<br />
bring their visionary ideas to life—<br />
with one catch: they skip college for<br />
two years of self-directed research,<br />
work, and education.<br />
Hewett, a computer engineering<br />
major who just finished his<br />
sophomore year at Washington<br />
University in St. Louis, first heard<br />
about the Thiel Fellowship in a<br />
magazine and then saw a special<br />
on CNBC. But the fellowship<br />
didn’t inspire Hewett’s remarkable<br />
invention. Victoria’s Secret did.<br />
Hewett had already been working<br />
on the project that would earn him the<br />
fellowship because of his impatience<br />
with checkout lines. Last summer,<br />
he was interning at GSI Commerce<br />
in King of Prussia. After lunch one<br />
day, three female coworkers dragged<br />
him to Victoria’s Secret in the King of<br />
Prussia Mall, where Hewett suffered<br />
through a 30-minute wait at the<br />
checkout. While they were in line, he<br />
told his friend that he would invent<br />
a way to get rid of lines. She bet him<br />
he couldn’t. This challenge sparked<br />
what would become “noQ,” a fusion<br />
of radio-frequency identification<br />
microchips (RFID) and mobile<br />
payment technology.<br />
Hewett’s invention works much<br />
like an EZPass. As you leave the<br />
store a sensor remotely scans your<br />
items and charges the price directly<br />
to your credit card via your phone.<br />
An alarm goes off if the item has not<br />
been purchased.<br />
If consumers are excited about<br />
the possibility of breezing through<br />
a store in minutes, retailers are even<br />
more excited about the security<br />
benefits inherent in this system.<br />
“I will eliminate shoplifting and<br />
employee theft,” Hewett says with<br />
such assurance that leaves no doubt
“Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> is an<br />
inspiring place, and I had<br />
many teachers who were<br />
passionate about what<br />
they did and encouraged<br />
independent thinking.”<br />
to his success. Well, almost. “I am 99<br />
percent sure this is going to work,”<br />
Hewett says.<br />
As Hewett rolls through the<br />
benefits of his innovation, that one<br />
percent starts to get smaller.<br />
“Retailers lose $4.5 to $6 billion<br />
each year through shoplifting,”<br />
Hewett explains, “and stores increase<br />
prices to compensate for this loss.<br />
There is also a 67 percent average<br />
employee turnover rate per year<br />
in retail. Instead of standing at the<br />
register all day, employees can be<br />
used for customer service. They can<br />
spend more time helping people.”<br />
Of course, as with any venture,<br />
this project has not been a smooth<br />
ride, and this idea has been tried<br />
before, but Hewett thinks that his<br />
plan is better. “Shopping carts with<br />
RFID technology exist, but they are<br />
expensive, and people steal them for<br />
the parts, he says. “My idea places<br />
sensors in the store instead of on the<br />
cart, which is a far less expensive<br />
solution.”<br />
Hewett’s team has also had to design<br />
ways to eliminate radio frequency<br />
interference and take into account the<br />
hacker factor. “Hackers try to ‘kill’ the<br />
tag by scanning it a thousand times<br />
to overload the memory, because<br />
each time a tag is scanned it alters the<br />
memory. They call in ‘tag spoofing,’”<br />
Hewett explains. “I’ve invented<br />
security to prevent this.”<br />
Even the application for the Thiel<br />
Fellowship was daunting. “Like<br />
applying to Stanford, but longer,”<br />
Hewett jokes. At each point, Hewett<br />

The students just couldn’t get<br />
enough physics. That planted<br />
the seed for what turned into a new<br />
program at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>, STEAM<br />
(Science, Technology, Engineering,<br />
Arts, and Math), FCS’ own take on the<br />
STEM movement.<br />
“We are using the MIT Media Lab as<br />
our model and following their fourstep<br />
process: Invent, Build, Test, and<br />
Demonstrate for all projects,” says<br />
Upper <strong>School</strong> science teacher Keith<br />
Buckingham. “our goal is to set up an<br />
incubator … to throw a bunch of smart<br />
people in the same room, start playing<br />
with things, and see where it goes. We seek to promote engineering and<br />
problem solving skills, creativity, and cross-disciplinary thinking.”<br />
The STEAM initiative is student driven—there were enough kids who hit<br />
the end of the line in the physics curriculum, Physics II, and wanted more.<br />
“Why not?” they asked. Buckingham agreed and teamed up with computer<br />
science and Latin teacher Colin Angevine ’05 to form a program that helps<br />
students learn to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to advance their<br />
knowledge and create innovative technologies to tackle practical problems.<br />
Projects may span the gamut across the fields of biology, medicine,<br />
computer science, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, material<br />
sciences, social sciences, neurosciences, and the arts. Initially the faculty<br />
will serve as mentors, but Buckingham and Angevine expect students to<br />
move into that role as they gain experience.<br />
“We want to create the right kind of culture. We avoid hierarchy,” says<br />
Angevine. “We are trying to set the students up and let them go … but<br />
redirect them when needed.”<br />
Art is an important feature of the initiative, Buckingham says. “Steve Jobs<br />
talked of the intersection of technology and liberal arts being one of the keys to<br />
Apple’s design and innovation. We want to bring technology and the creative/<br />
intuitive together in synergy.” Art teacher Josh Weisgrau has joined the STEAM<br />
team, and they expect more faculty to become involved as the project grows.<br />
Buckingham tried this idea before—back when he was teaching physics<br />
to AnnMarie Polsenberg Thomas ’97. (See the story on page 27.) Thomas is<br />
actually advising the FCS STEAM project, and the students attended a Maker<br />
Education Initiative Maker Faire in New York City in September.<br />
For now, they are calling STEAM a “non course,” and the group will meet<br />
during a weekly free block, but it may be for credit in the future. Right now,<br />
the faculty and students are excited just to get started.<br />
“our group of students have diverse backgrounds,” Buckingham says.<br />
“Most everyone has some physics, all have some calculus. A good number<br />
have programming background. All are interested and enthusiastic. That is<br />
the single most important point.”<br />

even the other Thiel Fellows know Spencer is great.<br />
has risen to the challenge. He went<br />
through a series of thorough phone<br />
interviews, then flew to San Francisco<br />
for interviews with the mentoring<br />
groups and past fellowship winners.<br />
The experience has left him in awe<br />
of the talent and ingenuity of his<br />
generation of young entrepreneurs.<br />
“I’ve never encountered kids<br />
like this in all my life,” Hewett says<br />
with a smile and a look, almost, of<br />
disbelief. “One kid is the youngest<br />
the power of Sharing<br />
When Dan Porter ’84 created the<br />
insanely popular Draw Something<br />
mobile app, cooperation was on his<br />
mind, not competition. “We’re taking<br />
game play and wrapping it in the<br />
framework of communication, sharing<br />
experiences and playing together,” he<br />
said in an interview with gigaOM.com.<br />
“I just wanted this to be something<br />
hilarious with no winner or loser.”<br />
Cooperation was also on his mind when, as CEO of<br />
Omgpop, he rehired 40 staffers that had been let go so<br />
they would be able to reap in the profits of the company’s<br />
$210 million purchase by gaming giant Zynga. “Those folks<br />
deserved to share in the success,” Porter says. “It wasn’t<br />
something I thought a lot about. I grew up in a politically<br />
person ever to achieve nuclear<br />
fusion … at age 14.”<br />
Now Hewett is among these<br />
phenoms whom Thiel has tapped as<br />
our visionaries of tomorrow. Since<br />
finding out he was selected on April<br />
28, Hewett has indeed left college and<br />
moved to the San Francisco Bay area.<br />
Even though he is taking<br />
some time off from pursuing his<br />
college degree, Hewett credits<br />
the engineering department at<br />
proof poSitive<br />
Washington, especially Ron Laue,<br />
assistant dean for engineering student<br />
services, with being supportive of his<br />
latest “side project.” He also credits<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> with providing the<br />
opportunity for his first summer<br />
internship—after his sophomore year<br />
in high school. At the <strong>School</strong>’s career<br />
day, he met FCS alumna Shana<br />
Fisher ’88, who worked with Internet<br />
services and retailing company IAC,<br />
a job that helped spark Hewett’s<br />
interest in ecommerce.<br />
“Spencer has an incredibly<br />
positive attitude and natural<br />
intellectual curiosity,” notes Fisher.<br />
“He is extremely hard-working and<br />
engaged, and I was happy to have<br />
him with us during his internship.”<br />
Hewett’s amazing journey was<br />
featured on CNBC’s “20 Under 20:<br />
Transforming Tomorrow,” a two-part<br />
special, which aired in August. QW<br />

active and conscious family, and of course FCS was always<br />
trying to engage as a school with the world around it. The<br />
rehire seemed on a personal level the right thing to do, even if<br />
that trumped traditional business logic of maximum profits.”<br />
Porter is now vice president for mobile and general<br />
manager of New York operations for Zynga, and he credits<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> for showing him that anything is possible<br />
with hard work, and for allowing him the flexibility to try new<br />
things. He and his friends started a new jazz band at FCS,<br />
and his senior project involved writing music with Jim Davis.<br />
“FCS gave me room to really stretch myself,” he says.<br />
Porter’s advice for current students? “Spend as much of<br />
your time in college and in your 20’s figuring out what you like<br />
to do, what you are good at, and what you aren’t,” he says.<br />
“You can’t do that anywhere else but on the job. It’s OK not to<br />
know what you want to do. It takes time and exposure. I sold<br />
my first company when I was 34 and Omgpop when I was 45.<br />
It takes a lot of time to get it right.”
confidence to eMbrace change<br />
Resilient, smart, patient, focused.<br />
These are all words that fit Jonathan<br />
wegener ’03. He spent three<br />
months riding the subways in New<br />
York City to come up with the mobile<br />
app hit ExitStrategyNYC.com, which<br />
tells you exactly where to stand<br />
on the subway platforms to make<br />
your trip the most efficient. He is<br />
now working on a new product called Timehop.com,<br />
which brings together our personal digital history and<br />
reminds us in a daily email. “So much of social media is<br />
lost as soon as it is posted. We believe that content gains<br />
value over time, and we want to help people reconnect<br />
with their pasts.” Wegener’s day reads like a start-up<br />
laundry list. Half his day is spent working on the product:<br />
sketching new features, writing copy, working with<br />
designers and developers. The other half is everything<br />
else: recruiting, benefits, office space, fundraising.<br />
After graduating from Columbia, Wegener was working<br />
for tech start-ups, “a great way to get your feet wet,” he says.<br />
While still consulting, he lost his full-time gig in 2009. But<br />
then the idea for Exit Strategy was like a light bulb going on.<br />
Wegener took a potential setback, what he calls a “forced<br />
entrepreneurship,” and turned it into a revenue-producing<br />
product that launched a new career. Even during his FCS<br />
days he was into technology and building websites. His work<br />
with start-ups helped him develop the business acumen to<br />
envision the intersection of technology and the world. He<br />
saw a need and had the vision and skill to fill it. Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong>, he says, helped him learn the most important<br />
lesson for success: the best way to learn is by doing. “Start<br />
building things early,” he says to budding entrepreneurs,<br />
“figure it out, make it happen, teach yourself!”<br />
Optimistic, adaptive, creative. Three more words that<br />
define Wegener, and three qualities that Friends’ <strong>Central</strong><br />
strives to instill in its students.<br />
the power of Making<br />
For Annmarie Polsenberg Thomas ’97,<br />
the belief in the power of making,<br />
especially for young children, has led<br />
her to leave her position as assistant<br />
professor of engineering at the<br />
University of St. Thomas in Minnesota<br />
and director of the UST Design<br />
Laboratory to become the executive<br />
director of the Maker Education<br />
Initiative (or Maker Ed for short). “As a mother, and as an<br />
engineering professor, I’ve seen how much learning occurs<br />
when people work on projects that they are passionate<br />
about,” Thomas says. “People are truly excited about the<br />
projects that they, and others, are working on. Collaboration,<br />
creativity, learning new things, exploring various technology<br />
and craft techniques—wouldn’t it be great if every child had a<br />
chance to experience these things?”<br />
Maker Ed was founded to create more opportunities for<br />
young people to make, and, by making, build confidence,<br />
foster creativity, and spark interest in science, technology,<br />
engineering, math, the arts—and learning as a whole.<br />
“Making something, be it an electrical circuit, a piece of<br />
clothing, a sculpture, or whatever else they are interested in,<br />
allows children to see that they can be creators rather than<br />
just consumers,” says Thomas. “It’s incredibly empowering<br />
to be able to point to something and say ‘I made that!’”<br />
“I’ve spent my career trying to blend<br />
art and science and engineering, and I<br />
think this stems from how these topics<br />
were equally important at FCS. I will<br />
forever be grateful for that support<br />
and encouragement I received at<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>.”<br />
Through Maker Ed, Thomas is working to connect parents<br />
and educators with the resources and support they need<br />
to develop and implement making activities and programs.<br />
Maker Ed’s first program, Maker Corps, places young adult<br />
“makers” with youth-serving organizations to help create<br />
making opportunities for children in their communities.<br />
Thomas points to Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> science teachers Pam<br />
Nix and Keith Buckingham, art teacher Peter Seidel, and<br />
music teacher Carl Bradley as important early influences<br />
on her passion for making. “I’ve spent my career trying<br />
to blend art and science and engineering, and I think this<br />
stems from how these topics were equally important at<br />
FCS,” she says. “I will forever be grateful for that support<br />
and encouragement I received at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>.”<br />
Thomas says that Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s fine arts program<br />
first attracted her to the school, but over time, she became<br />
more and more interested in science and math and ended<br />
up founding the Science Olympiad team. Friends’ <strong>Central</strong><br />
gave her the opportunity to explore and develop her<br />
passions—a critical step, she feels, toward a successful<br />
and satisfying life. Other steps? “Be curious about how<br />
the world works,” she says. Find interesting people to be<br />
around, and learn from them. Share what you do, and the<br />
lessons you’ve learned, with others.”<br />

Kaitlyn McCaffrey a sophomore on the<br />
Muhlenberg College women’s lacrosse<br />
team, was named to the All-Centennial<br />
Conference second team. Despite<br />
missing five games due to injury, she<br />
still ranked third on the team in caused<br />
turnovers (13), fourth in draw controls<br />
(23) and fifth in ground balls (21).<br />
Rachel McVey was published in the<br />
spring issue of University of Wisconsin’s<br />
Undergraduate Journal of International<br />
Studies. Her paper, “Altruism, Culture,<br />
and Prejudice: Education and Roma<br />
in the Decade of Roma Inclusion,”<br />
critiques the disproportionate emphasis<br />
on Roma education advocacy as a means<br />
for ending the marginalization of Roma<br />
(Gypsies) in Europe. The article can be<br />
found on the journal’s website. McVey<br />
credits FCS teacher Kelley Graham for<br />
inspiring her to make getting published<br />
a goal. McVey attends the University<br />
of Pittsburgh, where she is pursuing<br />
degrees in history and sociology, and a<br />
minor in children’s literature.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT of GIFTS<br />
2011-<strong>2012</strong>
42 Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> sChool<br />
The Annual Report of Gifts acknowledges all those who<br />
have made gifts to Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> <strong>School</strong> during the<br />
fiscal year July 1, 2011 – June 30, <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
The Development Office has worked carefully to ensure<br />
the accuracy of the information contained within these<br />
pages. If you come across an error or omission, please<br />
accept our apologies and advise us of the error by calling<br />

Dear Friends,<br />
Thanks to your support, 2011-<strong>2012</strong> was a success in many ways. We achieved record participation<br />
rates for Annual Giving from both our parent (86%) and alumni/ae (34%) communities. In total,<br />
1,941 generous donors gave $988,456 to fund faculty salaries, student programs and activities,<br />
campus improvements, and more through Annual Giving. On behalf of our students and teachers,<br />
I cannot thank you enough for this critical support of the <strong>School</strong> we love. I look forward to<br />
another successful year in <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>.<br />
In addition, we received $57,900 for financial aid through the popular Educational Improvement<br />
Tax Credit (EITC) program. Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> alumni/ae, faculty, students, parents, and friends<br />
created two new endowed funds for financial aid one honoring the life of Upper <strong>School</strong> secretary<br />
Laurie Fox and one in honor of David Felsen. Together with the completion of a planned gift by<br />
Irene Reiser ’38, Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> added about $800,000 in gifts and pledges to our endowment for<br />
financial aid.<br />
Of course, none of these accomplishments would be possible without the hard work of our many<br />
volunteers. Our dedicated phonathon callers, the Alumni/ae Board and class agents, and parent<br />
and faculty reps led the charge to rally support for our Annual Giving campaign, and the Clerk<br />
of our Development Committee, Trustee Edward Grinspan, provided immeasurable guidance<br />
throughout the year. To our enthusiastic and generous volunteers, you have my heartfelt thanks.<br />
One last but important note, the Friends <strong>Central</strong> community is tremendously excited to welcome<br />
our new Head of <strong>School</strong>, Craig N. Sellers, his wife, Cary, and children, Bridgman ’15 and Clare<br />
’18. We are looking forward to Craig’s leadership, as he brings his passion for education, deep<br />
<strong>Quaker</strong> faith, and engaging personality to FCS. I know he will be as inspired as I am by the<br />
following pages documenting the incredible support of the Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> community.<br />
Best wishes for a successful <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong> school year!.<br />

Since 1676, our family has owned Magnolia Gardens, a former<br />
plantation near Charleston, S.C., which my grandfather turned<br />
into a year-round attraction for tourists. My grandfather prioritized<br />
philanthropy, so a big part of our yearly board of directors meeting<br />
involves charitable donations for the year. Our charitable foundation is<br />
modest, so we tend to focus on smaller institutions and businesses,<br />
where what we are able to give can really make a difference.<br />
When Zander ’14, had been at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> for a couple of<br />
years, our lives suddenly changed, and we needed financial aid if he<br />
was going to continue. It really meant a lot to me that FCS was so<br />
generous, and willing to accommodate us, and I thought, “I may not<br />
be able to pay full tuition, but perhaps I can acknowledge how much<br />
the <strong>School</strong>’s gift means to me by giving my own gift in return.” I wrote<br />
a letter to the Trustees, saying that I’d like to make a donation. It struck me as a strange<br />
position to be in, both a financial aid recipient and a donor, but I explained my situation, and<br />
that year I gave my entire foundation allotment to FCS. I’ve continued to do so ever since.<br />
There is a real connection between my grandfather’s family and Philadelphia <strong>Quaker</strong>s. John<br />
Grimké Drayton, who designed Magnolia Gardens, was the nephew of Sarah and Angelina<br />
Grimké, famous <strong>Quaker</strong> abolitionists and feminists in Philadelphia in the years before the<br />
Civil War. (Zander’s middle name is Grimké!) I love that Magnolia, a former slave plantation,<br />
can now help a <strong>Quaker</strong> school.<br />
Ever since Zander started in 6th grade, I have had the amazing feeling that we found the<br />
perfect school for our child, where he would be happy socially, challenged intellectually, and<br />
guided morally and spiritually. I love the way community service is now an unremarkable<br />
and constant part of Zander’s life. When you’re surrounded by kids and teachers who take<br />
certain things for granted—that you will behave with kindness and respect toward your<br />
community, that you will give back to that community and to the world in general, and that<br />
you will find ways to promote peace and respect and love both in yourself and in the world—<br />
you are changed for the better.<br />
I feel fortunate that I can give something back to the school that has been such a great place<br />
for my son (and will, I’m sure, be equally meaningful for his younger brother, Thad ’20).<br />

Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> has played and continues to play such an important role in enriching<br />
our lives that it only makes sense for us to want to give back to the school. A number of<br />
our friends from our days at FCS remain dear friends today. We have a special trust and<br />
closeness that comes from a lifetime of shared experiences. Our families met for the<br />
first time at our graduation, and the photo of us with our diplomas is in a frame in our<br />
house. Enrolling our boys at FCS was an easy decision. Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> feels like home.<br />
We have found Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> parents to be tremendously warm and friendly. They<br />
have invited us into their homes and out to dinner. Although we’ve been involved with<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> for decades, we’re relatively new to the parent community, and we’ve<br />
felt very welcome. We try to go to all of the parent events. We donate every year. We<br />
volunteer as much as we can. Joy was the class representative for Leo’s kindergarten class last year. Max participated in<br />
Career Day for the Upper <strong>School</strong>. We’ve attended all of our Reunions including our 20th in May of 2011.<br />
Leo and Jonah have really enjoyed the Lower <strong>School</strong> so far. They have had fantastic teachers and wonderful classmates.<br />
The cliché is true. More than anything else, what sets Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> apart is the people: the students, the faculty, the<br />
administration, the staff, and the parents. We have gotten a great kick out of reconnecting with folks who worked at the<br />
school when we were students and are still there today, including Jack Briggs, Beth Tedesco, Joe Ludwig, and Bob Folwell.<br />
There are warm, caring, and fun people throughout the FCS community, and it is a true joy and privilege to be a part of it.<br />

The Heart of <strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong><br />
Young Alumni/ae Giving<br />
dan Fedder ’08<br />
The emphasis that Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> placed on community service<br />
from the Lower <strong>School</strong> to Upper <strong>School</strong> instilled in me an obligation<br />
to give back to people. The Christopher Campbell Soccer Clinic in<br />
2008 in honor of Chris Campbell ’04 is one event that stands out for<br />
me. It never would have succeeded without the support and resources<br />
of the Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> community. I learned that it truly takes a<br />
community of dedicated people to make something work, whether<br />
that applies to running a fundraiser, a club in college, or a business.<br />
I think it is very important to give back to a <strong>School</strong> and community that provided me<br />
with the stability and encouragement necessary to pursue my goals. Because Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> is extremely diverse both academically and socially, I had the opportunity to<br />
experience programs in music, sports, academics, and community service in equally<br />
meaningful and impactful ways. I try to give to the programs that had significance for<br />
me during my time there, which makes me feel better knowing the direct impact my<br />
donation will have on the school.<br />
I hope our alumni/ae understand that we wouldn’t have had the experiences we had at<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> without the generosity of those who came before us. Even though I can’t give<br />
a lot to the school right now, I know that every dollar counts. I am proud of the places from<br />
which I came, and Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s continued and renewed sense of progress makes me<br />
want to support the <strong>School</strong> in every way that I can. The Vision 2020 plan indicates the <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
dedication to be the best, and I’m so excited to see where the <strong>School</strong> will go.<br />

The Board of Trustees established the Blackburn Society to honor<br />
individuals who have made provisions in their wills or estate plans to<br />
benefit Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> <strong>School</strong>. These donors, who have informed<br />
the <strong>School</strong> of their intentions, have helped provide for the <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
future through a variety of gift planning vehicles including bequest<br />
intentions, testamentary trusts, life income vehicles such as pooled<br />
income investments, charitable gift annuities, gifts of real estate,<br />
and other deferred gifts. Their vision and wisdom extend beyond<br />
the immediate needs of the <strong>School</strong>, and their generosity provides a<br />
source of income which the <strong>School</strong> can depend upon and use to plan<br />
for generations ahead.<br />

My son Fernando’s experience at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> has been amazing. It is difficult to explain the<br />
transformation that he has been going through during these two years. One of my motivations to<br />
move from Brazil was Fernando’s lack of enthusiasm about his school life in our country, where he<br />
never found a good environment for his interests. The educational system in Brazil is different. The<br />
students sit and listen passively, and as a result, Fernando felt like he was forced to go to a place<br />
he found boring, oppressive, and lonely. This feeling changed completely at FCS, where he felt<br />
welcomed by teachers and peers and flourished as a student and a young man. I will always keep<br />
in my memory his surprise with himself when he discovered that he was missing school for the<br />
first time in his life after last year’s summer vacation.<br />
Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> gave so much to me and my family that as soon as our financial situation allowed, Fernando’s father, Beny<br />
Parnes, and I felt we should give back. FCS gave me my first lesson about the incredible values that built a country that I love<br />
and admire. It was a lesson of welcoming and generosity.<br />
I moved back to the United States two years ago, but I also lived in the U.S. for five years before Fernando was born. My older<br />
daughter, Helena Bokel was accepted and got a scholarship from FCS in 1988, when I was new to the country as a graduate<br />
student at Penn. The same happened to my second daughter, Luisa Parnes, one year later. They both had the time of their<br />
lives at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>. We intend to give back to FCS for as long as we can and are sure that Fernando will do the same.<br />

The Heart of <strong>Quaker</strong> <strong>Works</strong><br />
Parent Giving and volunteering<br />
debbie dolic (’15)<br />
One reason that Annual Giving is so important to the <strong>School</strong> is<br />
that it helps fulfill Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>’s commitment to economic<br />
diversity. The <strong>School</strong> opens its doors and generously accepts<br />
students with natural aptitude and skills who need financial<br />
resources to make their academic experience achievable. That<br />
is why I volunteer to be a Phonathon caller and why I joined the<br />
Auction Committee. The Phonathon is an awesome way to meet<br />
and greet families, create friends, and help the FCS community.<br />
It’s the gift that keeps giving. You give today and your return on<br />
debbie and steven dolic (’15)<br />
investment will be tenfold. Acts of kindness and generosity are<br />
like a boomerang … they always come back. I work the Phonathon<br />
with my sister Shirley Jones-Shakur [’09, ’12]. All the members of the Phonathon team bring<br />
an abundance of high energy when we are together. I hope the parents that I call can hear<br />
the smile on my face when I talk to them about Friends’ <strong>Central</strong>!<br />
My daughter’s [Ivana-Ajee Dolic ’15] experience at Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> has been phenomenal.<br />
What stands out for me are the critical thinking methodology that is taught and the<br />
nourishing environment she feels in all aspects of the school. Knowing that Friends’<br />
<strong>Central</strong> has our daughter’s best interest at heart, as well as keeping her safe, mean the<br />
world to us. Friends’ <strong>Central</strong> is a great fit for our daughter. She absolutely loves it!<br />
