Dear Cushing Friends, As we close out this most unusual semester at Cushing Academy, we can all celebrate the poise with which our students and staff prioritized the health and safety of our community as they navigated their everyday responsibilities. The balancing act of maintaining academic rigor, enjoying the school experience, and adhering to the myriad of mandated guidelines for controlling the virus has shown the strength, fortitude, and incredible heart of Penguin Nation. It is not so much despite these hardships, but because of them that we tout the successes you will see in the pages of this issue of Cushing Today. The COVID-19 pandemic engulfed the nation in March, forcing Cushing to undertake new operational changes and regulations to provide a safe educational and physical environment for our community. Many sacrifices, including those made by our families, have been evident on every level of the Academy. We do not take the resilience shown by our students and faculty for granted. In carefully following the guidelines established by our medical team and the Bring the Penguins Home Task Force, we successfully mitigated the spread of the virus on and off-campus. It was through the courage and sacrifices of our students and families that this was possible, and I am incredibly grateful to each of you. During this year, several events in the US and around the world brought into focus the issues of racism and bigotry. We are committed to doing what is necessary to create a learning and living environment to combat these issues. In this commitment, we have further embraced our mission to truly “exist for students” as we strive to create an anti-racist environment. These two formidable societal challenges have not diminished our spirits and passion for academic excellence and a healthy Cushing community. As you will see in this issue, we successfully completed a virtual commencement, achieved athletic championships, and performed a spectacular fall play. None of this could have been possible without the mental strength, grit, and stamina of our dedicated students and faculty. As we look forward to the semester ahead, I am proud to be part of a community that remains dedicated to developing curious, creative, and confident learners and leaders, even in these unsettled times. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy new year.
Sincerely,
Randy R. Bertin, Ed.D. Head of School

Cushing's Response to COVID-19 by Catherine Pollock Associate Head of School for Enrollment Management and External Affairs
Cushing Breeze, October 1918
"For several days preceding September 26, attendance had been dwindling noticeably; some students had Spanish influenza and many more thought they had. Study room was a bedlam of sniffling, sneezes and coughs, and in town like conditions prevailed. The local board of health got together and decreed that all public gatherings should cease, and then came the unheard of spectacle of Cushing closing its doors in the middle of a term.” The above account from a campus publication had an
unexpected echo 102 years later, when Cushing once again faced
the need to close its doors in the middle of a term. However, this time Cushing’s campus was silent for five months as the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, made its way across the globe.
Cushing’s leadership quickly went on high alert as the virus began, with Head of School Dr. Randy Bertin and the Board of Trustees proactively monitoring the rapidly-changing situation. Dr. Bertin’s first correspondence to parents about the virus, on January 25,
The concepts of synchronous learning (live classes happening in real-time) and asynchronous learning (recorded classes, accessible by students individually at various points in time) quickly entered the community’s vocabulary. The Academic Office created a new academic schedule encompassing both types of classes to serve students located in time zones worldwide. Once the spring term was successfully underway, concurrent planning began to prepare for reopening the campus in the fall. In a May 15 email to parents, Dr. Bertin announced the launch of the Bring the Penguins Home Task Force, including subgroups focused on all aspects of school life: academics, student affairs, athletics, facilities, human resources, dining, and admissions. The task force and the Senior Steering Committee—including a physician and an epidemiologist who specialize in infectious diseases—worked tirelessly to understand COVID-19 and use this knowledge to inform decisions regarding necessary operational changes. The team developed an extensive operations manual to guide Cushing’s safe reopening for the 2020-21 school year. Over the summer, the task force continued its planning work, ensuring alignment with rapidly changing federal, state, and local guidelines. Dr. Bertin shared the comprehensive plan to reopen the campus with families in mid-July.
2020, began, “As you may have heard, reports about an outbreak of

20th, keeping COVID-19 at bay. Students, faculty, and staff alike
In weekly email and video updates and frequent webinars, Dr. Bertin transparently shared the Academy’s decisions and actions in the face of constantly changing dynamics. As the epidemic progressed into a pandemic, the administration made numerous changes, including implementing new travel policies for Winter Free Weekend (February 8), creating health protocols for Family Weekend (February 27), and extending spring break (March 15). And then, on March 23, Cushing announced that spring term would take place remotely, thus ending the on-campus experience for the 2019-20 academic year. Unlike in 1918, technology allowed us, and people around the world, to continue academic instruction and transition to remote operations. Before deciding to conduct the spring term remotely, Dr. Bertin and the Academic Office determined the necessary plans and protocols for ensuring a robust learning experience. The extended spring break allowed faculty to learn how to deliver their classroom teachings via a virtual platform.

Although the end of the pandemic remains out of sight, Dr. Bertin’s vow to parents back in May continues to guide Cushing’s efforts each step of the way: “Underlying our strategy for the return to on-campus learning will be a conviction from our leadership that even a phenomenon as unprecedented as COVID-19 cannot change the essence of who we are as a community. Like most unexpected occurrences, its consequences are still unknown, and the path for addressing and overcoming it will take a strategic and longer-term commitment. Our team is ready to meet this challenge head-on while maintaining the commitment to Cushing Academy’s deeply-rooted mission and the promise we offer to students and families.” Meeting Owl, a conference camera that captures 360° video and audio for remote learning

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by Randy R. Bertin, Ed.D. Head of School
This year we saw the rise of racial injustice and inequality move to the forefront of our national consciousness. The Academy is reckoning with what this means for our community now and in the future. We have work ahead of us to be part of the solution, and we are committed to sustaining this work at the Academy for the long-term.
• At our second forum in late September, I spoke to all students and faculty about our institutional commitment to the work of equity and justice, reaffirming Cushing’s commitment to these issues. I noted that one way to do so is to embrace the concept of being a good upstander rather than a bystander. The concept of speaking up for others and acknowledging harm even when—or perhaps especially when—you are not the one being harmed is now incorporated into our policies about how we treat one another. At this same forum, Director of Community Life Lydia Stoye shared more thoughts on the intent and impact of our actions and being
As I write to update you on our actions and plans, I want to again express my thanks for the many conversations and correspondence I have had with community members. These discussions—about experiences, ideas, and suggestions—have formed the foundation of our efforts. Again, I am grateful for your openness.
an upstander. Students broke into advisory groups to brainstorm and discuss what it looks like to live those concepts. Students were asked to commit to and anonymously share their actions toward creating a more inclusive Cushing community. Their collective statements became a bold visual presentation and reminder posted at the dining hall entrance for the remainder of the semester.
I have also continued my learning process and commitment to longterm education by participating in several webinars and professional growth opportunities, including, among others, the National Anti-Racism Teach-in this past August and the AISNE Conference: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 2020 in October. Additionally, I continue to be a member of the AISNE Head of Schools Anti-Racism

CUSHING ACADEMY
IS MORE THAN A CAMPUS
We associate a school with its physical place, but at its core, Cushing Academy is a community. This year, despite the unprecedented challenges of a lifetime, our alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty, and staff decided to uphold this community and give back to Cushing. Your support has made all the difference in the world. You wanted to see Cushing continue to thrive, and it has. From your generous donations to good wishes from across the globe, we cannot thank you enough. The Cushing Academy Annual Fund is the foundation from which we move forward.

However, competing against the best teams from around the country was business as usual for the Penguins. Upon returning from Canada, Cushing began regular season NEPSAC play and recorded a regular season Class AA record of 15-0, won the regular season title, and earned the #1 seed in the New England playoffs. For the third time in four years, Cushing solidified its place on the national stage, ranking in the top 10 nationally and earning—for the second time in school history (and in the last three years)—an invitation to the National Prep Championship. The team also earned an overall record of 23-7—just one win shy of the most wins in program history. Cushing’s out-of-league schedule was arguably the most difficult in the country, competing against great teams from Canada, Kansas, New Jersey, Maryland, and New England. Thanks to Cushing’s success and strength of schedule, the Penguins earned invites to some of the top prep showcase events in the country, where hundreds of college coaches travel to recruit the best of the best in high school basketball. After the 2019-20 season, eight players made the leap to college basketball. Among the eight, three will play at the Division 1 level: Malachi Ndur (Brown University), Isaiah Gray (Cornell University), and Toby Okani (Duquesne University). Dan Braster is planning to play Division II on a full scholarship (New York Institute of Technology). Moving on to play Division III are Sean Okpoebo (Trinity College), Will Campbell (Bard College), Clay Bolster (Colby College), and Coby Gold (Macalester College).
Varsity Girls’ Hockey endured a back and forth series of disappointing losses and hard-fought wins at the outset of their path to success in the 2019-2020 season. With time and tenacity, however, the team achieved a five-game win streak, and eventually earned a sixth-seed placement in the NEPSAC Dorothy Howard Small School Tournament. Energized and empowered by their growth as a team, the Penguins needed to defeat three opponents to whom they had previously lost to secure championship victory. Two upset wins against #3 seed St. Mark’s (quarterfinals) and #2 seed Brooks (semifinals) granted #6 seed Cushing the chance to face #1 seed Rivers in the final game. After a season of 19 away games, the championship site in nearby Worcester might as well have been Iorio Arena with on and watch as they made history. The Penguins managed the seemingly impossible and beat Rivers 2-1 to secure the NEPSAC Small School Championship, ending a 22-year drought since the team claimed its first championship in 1998.

There were plenty of bumps on the road to victory (Varsity Girls’ Hockey ended the season with a record of 19-14-1) but, as Head Coach Val Bono '97 explained with pride, “The motto had been all season: it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” FALL/WINTER 2021

2020 Spring Season at Home and Beyond When Cushing adopted a temporary remote learning model in the spring of 2020, what did this mean for athletics? Thanks to adept thinking from the Athletic Department, Penguins
continued aspects of their routines, fostered team bonds, and even gave back to communities all within the constraints of social distancing.
Power Source Training ran remote workouts for the Cushing community and just as academic classes met via Zoom, so did teams with their coaches. Maintaining consistent contact online kept players engaged with their teammates, raised spirits, and offered the opportunity for conversation. In early May, our girls’ lacrosse, softball, and tennis teams (and
their coaches) participated in a virtual 5k run/bike fundraiser to
raise money for the One Love Foundation, which educates young people about healthy relationships. This was also a joint effort with the Kimball Union Academy Girls’ Lacrosse team. As is typical, the spring season also featured many exciting college
athletic commitments, which were announced on the Athletic Department’s official Instagram page @cushingathletes. Congratulations, Penguins!

Practices made an exciting return to campus this fall and players continued to adapt to evolving regulations. Due to the absence of interscholastic competition, teams held intrasquad scrimmages in uniform to keep their skills sharp as ever. The New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) allowed out-ofseason sports to practice and as a result, Penguin fans witnessed a unique array of teams in action this semester including hockey, basketball, softball, baseball, and lacrosse. We commend our Penguin athletes and coaches on their flexibility, resilience, and dedication to their sports during challenging circumstances. Through it all, Penguin Nation will continue to cheer—Roll Pens!

How does your time at Cushing relate to where you are now? I think it all relates to the study of Spanish, which I continued at Cushing. Justine Bernier was my Spanish teacher; she was
influential and helpful in the admissions process. Once at Cushing, I played lacrosse and struggled with it because although academics came quickly to me, sports did not. My coach Becky Leamon was great, and at the end of a hard practice, she would stay and throw the ball to me again and again (and again). She was also instrumental in my attending Haverford. People in your corner who see you, like Ms. Beams and Ms. Leamon, are incredibly important. Learning and experiencing that was a huge part of my Cushing experience.

Penguin Nation in a Time of Pandemic Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cushing Penguins have stepped up to serve their communities in this time of unprecedented need.

THE NAVAJO NATION, IRELAND, AND A CIRCLE OF GIVING
A long and moving history connects Native Americans and Ireland. The relationship began during Ireland’s Great Famine (1845-1849), when members of the Choctaw tribe raised $170—a vast sum at the time—to send to Ireland for relief. One Penguin couple with strong connections to Cushing, the Navajo Nation, and Ireland have seen this story come full circle. Denise Hobson Ryan '94 is Navajo and

Jeannie had begun to think about retirement and had cut her hours to part-time when duty called early in 2020. As it became clear that COVID-19 was coming to all communities, Sanborn returned to her role at Heywood full-time. She counts the coronavirus pandemic as her fourth public health crisis; she also created hospital policies for HIV/AIDS, H1N1, and Ebola. Things got busy rapidly. “The patients came quickly,” notes Sanborn, and “more just kept coming.” She describes those initial days as “exhausting, challenging and yet inspiring.” Sanborn usually worked seven days a week, averaging 60 or 70 hours, with her husband Wayne driving her to work early in the mornings and picking her up in the evenings. But, she is quick to say that she “never wanted to be anywhere else.” Sanborn’s admiration for her colleagues at Heywood is clear, and describing the teamwork and camaraderie she experienced still moves her. “We had to rely on each other for everything and work as a well-oiled team. We had to do more with less, and we became very creative in our approaches even when situations were less than ideal. PPE (personal protective equipment) was dwindling. Come Monday mornings, we weren’t sure we had enough for the week ahead.” Jeannie is grateful for the outpouring of support from the greater community, including businesses, schools (including Cushing), and individuals who provided hand-sewn masks, gowns, face shields, and even meals for healthcare workers. She was also incredibly touched by the community’s prayer vigils in the hospital parking lot and the staff’s emotional send-offs when a COVID-19 patient goes home. “The community has been exceptional, and it was truly a gift to work during this pandemic.” She was careful to keep herself as healthy as possible during the height of virus activity, crediting “Coach’s” support, the frequent rounds of takeout

in October and looks forward to time with family, including her new role as grandmother to Haley’s daughter Magnolia Jean, who was born in early November. The Cushing community holds a special place in Jeannie’s heart, and she has been thinking about Penguin Nation. Sanborn believes “there is a silver lining in everything. This pandemic has taught us all to work better as a team, to learn and communicate in different ways, and to be creative problem solvers.” Jeannie hopes that Cushing students embrace public health guidelines and stay safe. “The second wave of COVID-19 is upon us,” she states. “Take care of each other, wash your hands, wear your mask, and social distance.” In the end, Sanborn is in awe of her hospital colleagues and grateful to have had the privilege of being a part of a great team that made a difference in her community.

Reunion 2020 was one such event altered by the global pandemic. Despite the circumstances, Penguin Nation came together to celebrate milestones, friendships, and memories through a series of class gatherings hosted on Zoom by Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Brett Torrey '85. There was also a special virtual Gold Key gathering, where the Class of 1970 was welcomed into the Gold Key Society as part of their 50th reunion.
Jay Philbin Sr. Alumni Hockey Game Dedication On Saturday, February 29 at Iorio Arena, many hockey alumni gathered to honor and remember James Philbin, father of Jay Philbin ’96 and Michael Philbin ’98, and name the annual Reunion Alumni Hockey Game in his honor.

Alumni Art Show We would like to celebrate the following alumni artists and their work, originally slated for exhibit at the 2020 Annual Reunion Alumni Art Show. Brian Drourr '91 "I am a fourth-generation photographer now living in Burlington, VT. While at Cushing Academy, between 1988 and 1991, the metalsmithing studio was like a second home to me. It was not until I studied photography at Johnson State College in Vermont that I received my first formal photography training. I finished my undergraduate studies at Prescott College in Arizona studying leadership and psychology. I then returned to Boston to pursue my Master of Social Work at Simmons University. It was not until my move to Vermont a few years later that I really took the deep dive into professional fine art photography over 15 years ago. Since then, I have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers from Arizona Highways to Vermont Life, Patagonia catalogs, and the Burlington Free Press. I have hung in galleries across New England and was in the Boston Globe. I was even featured as NASA's prestigious Astronomy Photographer of the Day once. In the end, however, regardless of accolades and the like, photography is my escape and happy place where the impossible becomes a reality for all to see. I just have a passion for finding light in the darkest of places!"

NATION
2010 - PREPARING FOR A FUTURE ON THE FRONT LINE The COVID-19 crisis has strengthened the resolve of many in their chosen calling. One such Penguin, Madeline Lane '10, is in the midst of a rigorous nursing program, and she is more than ready to join that crucial work. We caught up with her late last spring as the pandemic was unfolding. After studying biology and education at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, Madeline moved to Colorado and became an EMT in a hospital setting. She credits having real-world clinical experience as pivotal in her decision to return to school to study nursing full-time. And yet, it wasn’t just that experience that solidified nursing as the right career for her. “I’d always been interested in medicine and teaching. Nurses are educators, and so I found my happy medium.” Madeline began a four-year nurse practitioner program at UMass Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts, last fall. She describes her early experiences with nursing school as invigorating, with long classes, labs, and clinical rotations in various specialties. But in the second week of March, she says, “the world stopped,” a sentiment shared by many. As at schools across the country, her education shifted online, and she found herself “wishing we could be done with school so we could help. I know that going into nursing for me was about caring for others, especially when it is most needed. To not be able to help was hard.” Madeline has been following media coverage of frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic. “Nurses face the brunt of
patient care, and when patients are struggling, we are often the first person to come to their aid. Nurses support so many others but haven’t always felt supported. The more we talk about it, the better, and the more it comes to light.” Hearing about nurses and doctors not having enough PPE (personal protective equipment) disturbs Madeline, who would like to see more protections in the future. However, she makes it clear that she has no hesitation about pursuing a career in nursing despite the pandemic and is eager to return to the hospital. Madeline remembers an emphasis on the concept of service at Cushing, especially on Tony Fisher Day. But it was everyday life at Cushing where she saw service in action in the way that “teachers cared for students and their own families.” She specifically cites the influence of dorm parent Haley Sanborn '02 in Alumni Hall, Bernadette Bibber, and Bill Troy. “The level of nurture and care that Cushing provided was in my service, to make me a better student and person. To be exposed to that every day, it’s hard for that not to sink in.” She sees “supporting kids through such an interesting time in their lives socially and academically as one of the greatest services you can provide.” The support that she received at Cushing makes her ultimately want to teach sexual health to high school and college students someday. “I love working with teenagers and young adults,” Madeline states. “If you can have an impact in those crucial years where kids are navigating their lives, that impact is lifelong. Cushing did that for me.” Madeline recently shared an update: “I passed my nursing licensure exam in September and began working as a Registered Nurse in October at the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center in Worcester. I’m still in the same program toward becoming an NP, but I’m getting to work as an RN while I continue with my schooling. It has been very gratifying to finally get involved in patient care during this pandemic.”

Since childhood, Bruce was a presence in the Cushing community, as his father, Ray Lemieux, served as Cushing's Director of Facilities for more than 25 years. Bruce's connection to Cushing started with him being a child on campus, then working part-time, and eventually attending the Academy as a member of the class of 1985.

Mr. Chun served as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1980-1983. During his dedicated service on the Board of Trustees and beyond, Mr. Chun's efforts and assistance were instrumental in helping former headmaster Joseph R.

He had a great sense of humor and an unwavering commitment to the institution he always called home. The loss of Bruce's presence will leave a hole at Cushing and in our hearts, and his passing will impact our students and our entire community in many ways. As our on-campus community knows well, Bruce's wife, Karen, is also a long-time employee working in the school's development office. His daughter Katherine, class of 2015, is a faculty member in our Visual Arts Department. His oldest son, Tim, graduated with the class of 2013, and his youngest son, Kevin, attended Cushing for his freshman year. Bruce's deep Penguin roots are also shared with brothers Steve Lemieux ’77 and Andy Lemieux, a former faculty member; nephew Matt Lemieux '01; and brother-in-law Brett Torrey ’85, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations. As our entire community mourns this sad news, we will keep Bruce and his family in our thoughts and prayers and offer our support for months to come. Bruce was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and colleague. He will be greatly missed.

2019-2020 Annual Report Dear Cushing Alumni, Families, and Friends, On behalf of Cushing Academy, please accept our deepest gratitude for your generosity during the last fiscal year (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020). Amid worldwide challenges, your support truly made a difference. Your commitment provided the foundation for our intense planning over the summer to “Bring The Penguins Home” safely and for our work now toward “Keeping Cushing Healthy,” following the reopening of our campus and the long-awaited return of our students to in-person learning. Thanks to your generosity, it was another record-breaking year for the Cushing Academy Annual Fund, with almost $1.5 million contributed in unrestricted gifts, supporting every aspect of a Cushing education.

WHAT WILL YOUR STORY BE?
Thomas Parkman Cushing created his legacy when he founded Cushing Academy over one hundred and fifty years ago. Through his Last Will and Testament, he expressed his desire to establish a school for “rising and future generations,” and his story lives on in the generations of students that followed, their lives transformed by their education at Cushing. When you include Cushing Academy in your long-term plans, you add to that story and create your own legacy.
BE A PART OF OUR STORY. But as we know, not every story is the same. We encourage you to reflect on your story and consider some of the planned giving strategies available to you in consultation with your tax or legal advisors. An important part of leaving a legacy is to feel confident in its purpose and stewardship. Entrusting your legacy to Cushing Academy includes the certainty of knowing you are part of a long-standing tradition of philanthropy. Thomas Parkman Cushing may have begun the story, but your gift continues it.
Visit cushing.org/giftplanning to learn more.
