2009 ALUMNI REUNION
Nearly 75 people graced MSE with their presence at the second annual MSE Alumni Reunion on December 22. Ryan Wallace traveled the farthest to join us as he came from Antarctica. He and cousin, Sarah Scott, along with Tennille LaTourette were the oldest alumni in attendance having started at the school in the early eighties. Other early students included Ashley and Kimberly Unger and Katy Oyler. Katy told tales of her year working with sled dogs in Alaska and her current part-time position as a

teacher of ballroom dancing in Philadelphia. Nancy Schenck, alumni parent, came without her two children just to catch up on school and alumni news. Daughter Amy was spending the winter as a ski instructor in Jackson Hole. Ten current and former teachers greeted their former students with admiration and love. Be sure to put Wednesday, December 22, 2010 (the next reunion date) on your calendar today!
BASKETBALL GET-TOGETHER FOR H.S. SENIORS!
Alumni from the middle school class of 2006 who are about to graduate from high school received an invitation to a late afternoon of basketball, pizza and camaraderie with current middle school students on Sunday, April 11 from 5:00-7:15. Hélène North came up with the idea to
reunite this amazing class of 20 students. MSE plans to have basketball teams of current middle schoolers and seniors, but the pizza, music and chance to socialize will probably be even more popular!
ALUMNI PARTICIPATE IN MSE SPRING FUNDRAISER
Surely you remember some of those class projects you helped create for the MSE Spring Fundraiser over the years? Maybe one of them is still gracing your parents’

If you would like to come to the 2010 Spring Fundraiser, Here We Grow, on May 8 at the Lake House, just call Dickie at Troutdale at 303 670-8540 to make a reservation before it sells out. The cost is $10 per person. The fundraiser had its humble beginnings as a luncheon and fashion show at Wang’s restaurant in Genesee where Christie’s is now. To the left are a couple of photos from those long ago events. We were thrilled when the first fundraiser raised two or three thousand dollars. Last year, this amazing event, now celebrated at Evergreen Lake House, raised $75,000!

INTERVIEW WITH JUDY TRICKEL Tell us about your life before coming to Montessori: I started teaching in 1967 for the Denver Public Schools at an elementary school. After a few years of teaching, I stayed home to raise our three children. I also worked with Mike and Ann Moore at Snugli. Eventually, I wanted to get back into teaching and Montessori offered me that opportunity in 1989. Name all the Montessori-trained teachers you have assisted and something you admired about each of them. While at Montessori I assisted many teachers. Each had their unique qualities and strengths. Anne Macomber – energetic, excitement and knowledge of Montessori Carolyn Markham – great organizer and facilitator of student learning & P.E. activities Dave Weaver – creative and included many wonderful group activities Barb Patton – gentle and caring for her students and their parents, as well as the staff Laurel Knox – a master Montessori teacher Nancy Plant – hard working and dedicated to the Montessori philosophy Dave Secondo – brings so many new ideas to the classroom; enjoys the children Are the children who come into lower elementary today different Judy helping a student today. from those you taught back in early nineties? Over the last 20 years, society has changed and the children have changed, also. Now, instead of being in awe of the organization of the school, they fall right into the independent routines inherent at our school. What are two or three aspects of the Montessori approach that you most appreciate? I most appreciate the control students have over their own learning. That freedom allows students to expand their learning at their own pace. The teacher can really be the facilitator. When we ask current and former students about you, they speak of you with such fondness. What have been your goals in working with children? I care about all of my students. Students are unique and special and that’s the way I treat them-as individuals. I am still in contact with many of my former students and parents. Tell us about a funny thing that happened in your classroom. Years ago in the lower elementary at Marshdale, Andrew Smith, who eventually moved to North Carolina, spilled something in the classroom. Anne Macomber told him to go to the closet and get the broom and dustpan. Andrew only heard her say, “Go to the closet.” Quite a while later I went to get some supplies and there was Andrew, patiently standing in the closet. If a former student or teacher returned to MSE today, what would be the biggest changes they would notice? They would immediately notice the growth in the school. We have increased enrollment along with adding a middle school and gym/theater.

What are some of your favorite memories from your years at MSE? My fondest memory of my years at MSE is the new friends I have made – from students, to parents, to staff. The way everyone treated and supported me during my recent illness with cancer was heart-warming.
What has kept you at MSE for so long? I have stayed at MSE for 22 years, because every day is different and exciting with the children. With students being so self-motivated and doing different things at various times, my work in facilitating their learning changes constantly. Although your children didn’t attend MSE, can you tell us about your family members who are alumni? My granddaughters, Cassidy and Dakota, had the opportunity to attend MSE and it was a highlight of their early learning experiences. They are in high school and doing well.
Tell us about the rest of your family: My husband, Don, retired after 32 years of teaching and is an instructor at the University of Denver Teacher Education Program and an instructional coach for a metro high school. Mindy, our oldest daughter, is a teacher at Bergen Meadow Elementary School. She and her two daughters live in Georgetown. Julie is raising her family in Fruita. Devin is the Assistant Director for Human Resources at Vail Cascade Resort. He and his wife, Holly, live in Edwards. Don’s mom, Berline, is now living with us. What plans do you and Don have for the future? We have never experienced an “empty nest” and are looking forward to that opportunity. We plan to travel and renew friendships. Other things you would like to say: I would like to thank Betsy Hoke for what she has done with MSE. She has built the school from a little cabin in Evergreen to a two-campus facility that is admired and respected in our mountain community, and nation-wide.
Memories from the Past This Could Never Happen Today! Over the years, those little golden unit beads that are used for learning about the decimal system and to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division concretely have occasionally ended up in ears and noses. Originally made of glass, most of the beads MSE uses now are plastic, but they continue to hold great appeal to children. I distinctly remember a young Michael Benedick, son of Nancy, while in my first class in Colorado Springs inserted a bead in his appendages at least twice. Back in the late eighties when my MSE office was where the musical instruments and piano are kept within the KDO room, a preschool boy, whose name will remain anonymous, was brought to me with a golden bead lodged in his nose. Since his father was a doctor, I immediately called him to see how he wanted me to handle the issue. He asked me to rectify the situation by carefully following his instructions. He told me to have his son lie on the floor. I was to pinch the nostril without the bead and blow forcefully into his son’s mouth to force the wayward bead to be expelled from its hiding place. I remember following his directions explicitly, but I can’t recall if this unique protocol was successful in dislodging the errant bead. Needless to say, in this age of blood borne pathogens and protective shields, that method of extraction would never pass the mustard……or the bead! Betsy Hoke
A Goof That Worked Out
One year our 8th year students headed to Francie’s Tenth Mountain Hut for its two-night foray into the wilderness. Unfortunately, MSE’s adventure education director had gotten the dates wrong. The second night, when a group of young adults arrived cold and tired from blazing a trail up to the hut, they discovered that the MSE students were there on the wrong night. Can’t you just imagine how excited this group of staff members, taking two days off from Keystone Science School, was to share the hut they had reserved with students from MSE? Luckily, they did make accommodations for our group and kept their sense of humor. The chaperones worked hard to keep the kids from annoying the relaxing counselors and MSE sent the counselors a big check as a “thank you.” Hélène North
Young Love Goes Astray
When she was in third grade, a second grade boy had a crush on my daughter, Morgan. He took his mom’s family heirloom, diamond earrings from her jewelry box and gave them to Morgan as a symbol of his adoration. Not interested in him, Morgan brought the earrings home and left them by a coat rack. I found them when I was cleaning but thought they were just glass and set them aside. Imagine my horror when about a month later the boy’s mom called to say he had confessed to taking the valuable and sentimentally important earrings and giving them to Morgan. “Did I know where they were?” Thank goodness I knew just where to find them! Betsy Hoke
Clumsy No More
For those who are afraid their awkward children won’t be able to play sports, I share this memory. In the early eighties, I taught a young boy who resembled the proverbial “bull in a china shop.” One day he was walking across the room, oblivious to what was in his path, when he stepped into a bucket full of water with one foot, pulled out the wet foot, shoe and sock from the bucket and kept on going. The irony of this story is that the young man became an All American soccer player whose college team went undefeated and won the national championship! What you see is not always what you get. Nancy Benedick

Ryan Wallace completed his Physics degree with a minor in Astrophysics at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 2000. The fascinating information that follows was taken from the website of Ryan’s current employer, Lindblad Expeditions. With a passion for travel, education, and exploration, Ryan began work as a research assistant for a professor in the rare field of Archeoastronomy – the study of how astronomy has been used in various cultures throughout time. This work took him on multiple research expeditions to the Asian regions of Nepal, India, and Tibet. It was in the desolate regions of Tibet where Ryan began fostering a desire to pursue his childhood dream of working in the Antarctic. Finishing his work in the Himalayas, Ryan continued on as an onsite manager of a guest ranch in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, and as a mountain guide, outdoor educator, and camp director for an outdoor ranch in the Collegiate Peaks of the Saguache Range. The call to the Antarctic came shortly after he completed his first ultra marathon in Leadville, Colorado, and he found himself propelled into an environment beyond his wildest imagination. Ryan began his Antarctic career in 2003 as a carpenter's helper at Palmer Station on Anvers Island along the Antarctic Peninsula. He returned to the Antarctic the following austral summer, this time as a Field Coordinator at McMurdo station, where he supported and guided scientists in the field regions around Ross Island and the nearby Dry Valleys. Ryan returned to Palmer Station, and in 2006, settled into his largest role in the U.S. Antarctic Program as the station's Boating Coordinator, facilitating the various Zodiac
marine operations by the grantees of the National Science Foundation.

MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATES
Class of 1998 Anne Bean, Colorado College alum, published her first novel, Freedomland in 2009. A recent review from Amazon.com states: While certainly reminiscent of an Orwellian novel, Anne Bean's Freedomland is an outstanding piece of futuristic fiction that is one of those books that once you pick up, you literally can't put down. The story of Elijah and Lili, and their search for the truth in a world full of technology and illusion is incredibly compelling. The characters are beautifully created, making you feel attached to them throughout their journey. As she pursues her dream of writing, Anne is working at a Montessori school in Washington State. Congratulations, Anne!

She has created her own food blog, ‘Belle’s 20 Bites.” In a recent interview for the MSE newsletter, Anabelle explained, “Since childhood, I have been enthralled with cooking and all aspects of the culinary world. In college it has been difficult to find an outlet in which to channel this passion, so this summer I decided to create my own food blog. In my blog I write restaurant reviews, recipes, and personal food chronicles and experiences. I also include original photography for each written piece. With my newly blossoming interest in food writing, I am applying for internships at various magazines such as Food & Wine and 5280. I will be writing a gourmet food column in the online Boston Examiner newspaper this spring, and I also plan to attend culinary school after college.” Her older sister, Madeline McLean, graduated from Bates College in 2009.
