The final bugle has blown Taps, “Camp

Key” is officially over—and the auction

was a huge success! Thanks to the help

and support of our many parent and

community volunteers and sponsors,

we far surpassed our fundraising goals,

providing critical money to help supple-

ment the DCPS budget for our school.

We also hit our goal for the “raise the

paddle” challenge to help enhance sci-

It has been the perennial big question among parents of older Key students: What are you going to do for middle school? For years, Key has sent few 6th graders to Hardy Middle School, our destination school. Until recently, in fact, only 12% of the students at Hardy were students from any of the zoned feeder schools. Most families either chose char-ter or private schools, or moved to other neighborhoods that feed into a different middle school.

Two years ago, a group of parents from the Hardy feeder schools deter-

And we had a great community event

where 270 parents, teachers, staff, and

friends of Key gathered on campus for

a casual “summer getaway,” complete

with crickets, tents, a forest of trees,

adult “bug juice” and a buffet dinner

KEYNOTES • JUNE 2015

At Key, the Executive Committee

serves on behalf of the greater mem-

bership to ensure that the PTA fulfills

its mission and focuses resources in

areas found to have the greatest need

and importance. Speaking for the en-

tire Executive Committee, this job has

been made easier with the leadership

of Tricia Braun.

Her background as an attorney,

graduating from Yale Law School and

working in the Boulder, Denver, and

Manhattan district attorney’s offices,

gives her rare attention to detail. She

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

served as a committee co-chair at P.S.

321 in Brooklyn and at Key before be-

ing elected co-president, and always

stays up to date on the latest local

education issues. With these quali-

ties and insight, Tricia has been able

to guide the Executive Committee

through proposed boundary changes,

new PARCC testing concerns, and big

budget cuts with deliberate consider-

ation and thoroughness.

As if being a mother of three—Key

alum Noah, and two current students,

Phoebe (5th) and Natalie (3rd)—and

supporting volunteer organizations at

both of the schools her children at-

tend didn’t keep her busy enough, her

dedication to improving education and

access in the wider District can be seen

in her active involvement with the Ward

3 Education Network, and her willing-

ness to run as a representative for the

State Board of Education.

Once my nomination was approved,

Tricia continually kept me connected

and well-informed of the various PTA

activities and issues, and I felt well-pre-

pared for my first Executive Committee

meeting—and every meeting since. I

can scarcely say how much I have ap-

preciated this inclusiveness, and have

learned so much this year from her. We

mined to change this status quo. They started working with each other, DCPS, and the then-new principal, Trish Pride. Together they have focused on improv-ing academic programming, enhancing inter-school communication, and build-ing community.

The results are already impressive: Hardy has expanded its SEM (School-wide Enrichment Model) programming, a gifted and talented program available at just a few schools in the city. In addition, Hardy now has honors classes in Math, English, and Science. Students can take Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, or Italian for foreign language. (Mandarin is taught by a native speaker, and parents are encour-aged to learn along with their students, via free afterschool classes.) In coming

years, students will have the opportunity to travel to Spain, China, and Italy in conjunction with the foreign language programs.

Hardy also offers not only honors math but also accelerated math, which means pre-algebra starting in January of 6th grade for those students who have shown advanced math abilities during the first trimester. This would make them eligible for algebra in 7th grade and geometry in 8th.

Projections for next year reveal that approximately 40% of Hardy’s 6th grade class will be feeder school graduates. Key is expected to send 10 students, out of a 5th grade class of 38; Mann is expected to send 11 students out of a 5th grade class of 18; Stoddert is expected to send 10 students out of a 5th grade class of 21;

and Hyde-Addison is expected to send 17 out of a 5th grade class of 29. All of this adds up to more than a threefold increase over the past two years in the percentage of students from feeder schools who will be attending Hardy.

Key’s Hardy Focus Group will continue to provide opportunities for Key families to hear about Hardy and meet Hardy parents and students. In the fall, we will kick off with a Meet the Principal coffee, and there will be mixers with other feeder school families, open houses at Hardy, and, of course, the 2nd Annual Feeder School pizza party hosted by Stoddert Elementary. We hope you will take the time to hear more about Hardy, and wish every success to all our 5th graders as they move on to middle school.—Tricia Braun, PTA Co-President

KEYNOTES • JUNE 2015 PAGE 3

Finishing my two-year term as PTA Co-President, I am filled with gratitude and awe at how much the Key School parents contribute to our school community all year round.

Whenever I have an opportunity to welcome new families to Key, I always share with them how much the parents contribute to making our school the won-derful community that it is. I urge them to get involved, using the Rule of Three T’s: The things the PTA most needs to succeed are Time, Talent and Treasure. Each family here can contribute in at least one of these ways.

Time. Whether you can volunteer for one hour all year or one hour a day, we can use your time. The PTA is all-volun-teer and no amount of time you have to offer is too small.

Talent. Are you a photographer, organization whiz, or IT expert? The Key School community is filled with super-talented parents with a tremendous array of skills. We can certainly use yours!

Treasure. Our PTA pays for a tremen-dous number of things that DCPS doesn’t

fund. By paying your bulk supplies fees and PTA dues, making donations to the auction, buying raffle tickets, or donating any amount you are able, you help build the PTA and all of the programs we support.

It has been an amazing year at Key. Thanks to you and the other Key School parents, we had the most profitable school auction in Key School history, started a farmer’s market, won DC’s

Golden Bike Award for the fourth year, won a Fire Up Your Feet Award for being one of DC’s most active school commu-nities, held our 4th annual Hootenanny, hosted an amazing Harvest Festival with a new and improved Haunted House, replaced our school garden beds, hosted a new and amazing Family Science Night in conjunction with the Children’s Sci-ence Center of Virginia, held our most successful Christmas Tree Sale to date, raised funds to update our school’s sci-ence curriculum and technology, and raised $1044 to help earthquake victims in Nepal!

And all of that is in addition to amaz-ing events like our fabulous World Fam-ily Day, a Book Fair any book store would envy, our 2nd annual E-Cycle Spring Fling, our back-to-school picnic and end-of-school picnics, our New Parents’ Reception, two open houses for prospec-tive parents, the Holiday Secret Shop, two International Pot Luck dinners, teacher appreciation gifts, massages and lunches, and lunches provided for our teachers on Professional Development days.

Working with the PTA has been a wonderful experience, and every day I look around and see the benefits of the work of so many of our parents. Our PTA supports our teachers and administra-tion, hosts fun and enriching events for our students and families, and builds a warm and caring community. I hope that you will take the time to thank the parents who contribute and that you, too, will contribute some time, treasure, or tal-ent—or a combination of those—in years to come. It is such a big part of what makes Key School great!—Tricia Braun, PTA Co-President

“Gratitude and Awe”are pleased that Tricia will remain a part

of the Executive Committee as LSAT

representative and liaison to DCPS.

Meredith Sumner is also finishing

a two-year term, as corresponding

secretary. Her hard work and organiza-

tion were critical to the job of handling

dues, contributions, and bulk supplies

funds for every family at Key, as well

as reporting monthly to the Executive

Committee. We appreciate her com-

mitment to the PTA, as she has chaired

several committees over the years, and

will continue her involvement as a Book

Fair committee co-chair. Meredith’s

youngest, Wes, starts Kindergarten next

year at Key, following his older sisters

Grace (alumna), and Charlotte (2nd).

Stephanie Curcuru is finishing her

two-year term as PTA co-treasurer. Her

diligent work has helped the Executive

Committee stay in line with our bud-

gets, as well as digitize and streamline

our financial processes. We will be glad

to have her around next year, as she

will also continue her PTA participation

as a Key School LSAT representative to

DCPS. Stephanie and her husband, Jim

Mello, are the parents of Maddy (3rd),

Jackson (1st) and alumna Valerie.

It has been a wonderful first year

for me on the Executive Committee,

with these officers keeping it running

smoothly and efficiently. Thank you!

—Ashby Mims, PTA Co-President

INTRODUCING YOUR NEW KEY SCHOOL PTA OFFICERSThree new faces are joining the current roster of PTA officers.

Colleen Crino was elected correspond-ing secretary. She is the mother of Lucy, who will be in 2nd grade this fall, and Jimmy, who will be starting Pre-K.

Colleen works for the American Red Cross, supporting development and marketing for the Red Cross mission lines of service. Her career has been fo-cused in loyalty marketing, partnership development, and innovative program management across both non-profit and for-profit financial services organiza-tions. The Crino family came to DC from New York three years ago, where Colleen had served as co-president of Lucy’s preschool. She is a member of the Ward 3 EdNet team, and led an effort last year to successfully challenge the DCPS boundary changes for the Key School community.

Emily Greer Henderson brings 25 years of experience in banking, entre-preneurship, and community service to the Executive Committee as co-treasurer. Emily joined Bank of America, then Dal-las-based NationsBank, in 1989, spending seven years in retail bank management, marketing, and recruiting before she began her own business working with artisans in central Mexico to develop and retail an accessories line. In Denver, she volunteered on a community grant review board for the Women’s Founda-

tion of Colorado and partnered with the City of Denver on local beautification and tree canopy improvement. Emily and her family moved to Washington in 2009 when her husband, Chris, was appointed to serve at the U.S. Department of the In-terior. Emily has two children, Greer, age 12, and Ann, age 9, and currently works in a marketing capacity with start up inte-rior lighting retailer Bright on Presidio.

Elizabeth Wise, mother of Declan and Griffin Vaughan, both in Kindergarten, has been elected PTA co-president. Cur-rently the director of federal government relations for Diageo, the largest spirits company in the world, she handles their tax portfolio as well as other issues. Prior to working for Diageo, Elizabeth worked for the Food Marketing Institute, a trade association representing the majority of supermarkets in the United States, as the director of government relations. She is a board member of both Common Threads and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Elizabeth got involved with the PTA as co-chair of the Harvest Fes-tival committee and has volunteered at numerous Key School events, including the 2014 Auction, Book Fair, and Mega Yard Sale.

These officers join Kathy HoganBruen, in her fourth year as recording secretary, Bryan Lake, serving his second year as co-treasurer, and Ashby Mims, co-president. —Ashby Mims, PTA co-president

Becoming a volunteer has so many

benefits. You can connect with other

parents, influence programs affecting

your children, and improve the school

and PTA for everyone! As many of our

cherished, long-time families gradu-

ate and move on, we need our incom-

ing and newer families to step in and

participate. Next year the PTA needs

people to help out with the following

committees, to name a few:

FLES, coordinating Foreign Lan-guage in Elementary Schools, which

offers after-school language classes.

Information Technology, assessing the school’s technology needs and

working with staff to prepare a tech-

nology road map for the future.

Auction, planning Key’s major fundraising and social event; soliciting

donations, and coordinating fund-an-

item, teacher, and class features.

Green, helping Key meet its re-cycling obligations; implementing

waste-reducing, eco-friendly initiatives;

researching ways to adopt greener

practices and impart that commitment

to our kids; promoting Safe Routes To

School (SRTS) efforts.

There are so many ways to partici-

pate! If you are interested helping with

these or any other PTA activities, please

let me know, at ashby.mims@gmail.

It was an exciting and active year for the Green committee at Key. We established a popular farmer’s market in collabora-tion with DC Greens, helping students learn about the virtues of “eating local” plus a bit about marketing and sales—and healthy snacking. The money raised from the market allowed us to rebuild the school’s garden beds (with the help of 50 parent and student volunteers), which are used both for the fall farmer’s market and as part of the outdoor science classroom. Other Green events included the annual E-Cycle community event, Earth Week, and Bike to School Day.

Thanks to committee co-chairs Kather-ine Kranenburg and Alexia Minervini for inspiring us all to go green!

Key Keeps Getting Greener



What a Hoot! The 1st through 5th graders of the Key School Chorus enjoy a variety of songs, from bluegrass to country, and spiritu-als to traditional American music. But perhaps their favorite—one they often ask to sing during practices—is a classic made popular by John Denver. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” hit #2 on the Bill-board charts in the early 1970s, playing on just about every radio in America.

Most parents can sing along with this song too, but until recently they probably didn’t know that the person who wrote it is not John Denver, but in fact a man who lives right here in the Palisades. Our neigh-bor Bill Danoff wrote “Country Roads” in 1971—and visited Key school 44 years later

to hear the Chorus perform that same song this May at the 4th annual Hootenanny. Danoff is the winner of two Grammy awards and an internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter. And he told Chorus Director Ann Roddy that he really enjoyed seeing our chorus in action!

After the Hootenanny was over, the choristers had another exciting event, professionally recording a CD! This is the second recording the Chorus has made, with ‘‘Country Roads” and other favorites including “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “High on a Mountain,” and “Jambalaya.” CDs are available for $15; please contact Ann Roddy ([email protected]) to order yours!

Spreading the WealthFirst-Ever Mega Yard Sale a Mega Success

Taking a lead from Earth Day celebra-

tions, the PR&D committee this year

launched Key’s first-ever “Mega Yard

Sale” on April 25, creating an op-

portunity to recycle those unwanted

“treasures” clogging up everyone’s

homes, to bring Key School some posi-

tive attention, and to raise money for

the PTA. Sales were brisk, and it was

great to see our

donations

finding

new homes. At the end of the sale, a

small army of dedicated parents ef-

ficiently packed up. All unsold items

were donated to Babylove DC, AmVets

and the Palisades Library. This was a

zero waste event—everyone benefitted,

including the Earth!

We grossed almost $4,500. Spe-

cial thanks to everyone who donated,

helped organize, pack up or shopped!

This first year we learned that we need

to advertise better throughout the

school building, extend donation

hours and organize a regular

donations brigade at drop-off

to help busy parents stay

on schedule. There is a lot

of interest and room for

growth in this event. Help

make it become a part of

Key’s culture by setting

aside your best stuff, as

plans are underway for

another Mega Yard Sale in

the 2015-2016 school year!

This year the Science Fair committee launched a new tradition of a separate Family Science Night held in January, prior to late February’s Science Fair. Northern Virginia’s Children’s Science Center brought an array of fascinating interactive exhibits, from fingerprinting to paper airplane aerodynamics.

In addition, the annual “Are You Stuck?” event that same evening saw Ms. Johnson, Mr. Wetherald, Mr. Riley, Ms. Gooch, Ms. Houston, and Ms. Pizzo on hand to steer families in the right direc-tion. We are so grateful to them and to all the parents who came out and helped. Next year Ms. Johnson and Mr. Wether-ald plan to create their own Key School version of Family Science Night. (Spoiler alert: Look out for live animals!)

Double Shot of Science

At the Science Fair itself, we had 170 projects. (The 3rd–5th graders are required to participate, but younger students are also encouraged to join in, and many do.) Students presented their work in science class the week before the event. On the day of the Fair, they presented again to a panel of judges in different scientific fields, including members of the Georgetown Neurosci-ence department, National Geographic, and the Environmental Protection Agen-cy. At the end of the school day, families were invited to view the projects and the winners were announced. This year’s winners: Annabelle Har-bold (5th): birds; Daniella Nichols (5th): crime scene; Ava (4th) and Clio (2nd) Blum: cockroaches; Phoebe Braun (5th):

supertasters; Reed and Thomas Roddy Johnson (4th): paper airplanes; Frankie Ruppert (4th): heat conductor; Jacob Sha-piro (4th): memory; Aiden Pierre (4th): static electricity; Duncan and Gordon Taylor (4th): kids drinks and health; Ama-ri Kapoor (3rd): stomach pains. (Although the winners were eligible to compete in a citywide Science Fair, that competition was cancelled due to lack of participation by other District schools.) Honorable mention: Emma and Simon Lake (3rd): runoff; Reid Alexander (5th): water quality in the Potomac; Rafae Sandu (3rd): osmosis; Bridget Ourand and Audrey Scott (4th): teeth stains; Lukas Shevas (3rd): crystal growth; and Bryant Holdren (5th): info retention. —Tricia Duncan, Science Fair committee

HOLIDAY SECRET SHOP The holiday se-cret shop is a Key School tradition that al-lows students to purchase modestly priced gifts to surprise their family members and friends. The shop is not for profit and sells the gifts at the same price for which they are purchased. This year we focused on buying items that were on clearance along with searching diligently for sales (such as buy 1 get 1 free offers). This allowed us to buy better products while staying in the price range of $1 to $6. We purchased and wrapped more than 2,500 gifts and sold all but 25 of them! We also added a penguin logo to shopping bags and matching la-bels. We chose TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) as the charity this year, offering students who did not use all of their shopping money the chance to do-nate. Your children’s generous donations raised $872.99 for the TAPS charity. —Michelle Oeltmann, Holiday Secret Shop committee

STUDENT DISPATCHES This year, with the help of PR&D’s Abby Goodnough and Ms. Conway, our 3rd, 4th and 5th-grade reporters and siblings penned a wide range of colorful Key School dispatches for the “Spotlight on Schools” section of the Northwest Current. Our crackerjack student reporters covered a range of topics, from stories on snowy days by Sara and Ashley McNulty, winter sports by Sophia Hosford, and ASEP and Camp Key’s online auction by Millicent Gimer. With all the snow days, William and Robert Swift teamed up and were able to knock out a story on First in Math and then Book Fair. Martin Alvarez and Ken-nedy Kranenburg wrote a story on the Green committee’s new farmer’s market. Damien Kelliher and William Swift cov-ered the Mega Yard Sale. William Swift and Rafae Sandhu came through in a pinch with a fun story on the 3rd grad-ers’ four-headed dragon store and an end

Davis Kennedy, publisher of the Cur-rent Newspapers, also paid a visit to Key School, addressing the children about the ups and downs of owning and run-ning the NW Current. We look forward to continuing the tradition of great reporting at Key next year!—Claire Swift, PR&D committee

We would like to thank our amazing crew of parents: Debbie and Kevin Nigri for their incred-ible Haunted House as well as Deb Smith, Colleen Crino, Jean Marie Mottaghi, and Maria Garcia for their leadership and organizational skills! We are so grateful to everyone else who came out to volunteer that beautiful October day.—Elizabeth Wise, Harvest Festival committee
