The Head's Heads UP!
It may be September, but as I took a stroll around our sleepy campus one evening this week, October was in the air. The sky was that radiant color of blue that makes your eyes hurt while begging you not to look away. The air was crisp and clean, and as the breeze rolled across the leaves you couldn't help but inhale deeply and slow your steps to be sure you soaked it all in.
And as I sat at one of the picnic tables in the courtyard, I found myself smiling.
Dancing in my mind's eye are teachers giving away any spare moment they have to spend extra time helping a student. I see 1st graders lending a hand to clean up a mess they didn't make, displaying the same behavior our 8th grade leaders modeled for them just days before. I can picture Middle School soccer and volleyball teammates encouraging each other to achieve just as clearly as I can hear the screams of joy when the Lower School doors open for recess.
I can also recall faculty meetings, CAPPA get togethers, Board retreats, and impromptu one on one conversations where ideas were excitedly exchanged, and plans were made for ways we can be an even better school community tomorrow then we are today.
And so my smile is because I find myself experiencing that elusive feeling many people spend much of their lives chasing - happiness. Why? Because the two main ingredients necessary for that feeling to exist are here at Chesapeake Academy:
Something to be grateful for. And something to look forward to.
I share that with you because I would offer that all of us associated with Chesapeake Academy should feel those same feelings. Being part of this fabulously unique, oh-so-special community is a gift, and one none of us should take for granted. Whether you are a student, parent, grandparent, friend, or faculty member of CA, you should feel pride knowing that you've played a role in the formulation of one of America's great little schools. Our students are learning and achieving at incredible levels, prepared to go anywhere in the world and find success not only as scholars, but more importantly, as people. And each of us are actively playing a part in the community that makes that possible. We are part of something bigger than ourselves whereby our commitment to lift up others is allowing our own children, those we love more than anything else in the world, to reach heights we couldn't provide for them alone. That's something to be grateful for.
And yet, we're just getting started on our collaborative journey, and we have so much to look forward to! In these early weeks of school, students are engaging in ways that we haven't seen since before the pandemic. To meet this brimming curiosity and excitement our teachers are pushing beyond the walls of the classroom, finding ways to embrace project-based learning and the Huge Classroom that exists right outside the door. Traditions like Inward Bound are returning and plenty of other customs remain, such as the Bell Tower ringing loudly this week, signaling another athletic victory over Ware. By embracing our history and heritage, we're providing space for new traditions to come to life and new ideas to flourish, empowering our school to evolve in ways that allow each generation of students to see Chesapeake Academy as "my school", and a home away from home. Chesapeake Academy is healthy and thriving, supremely positioned to move into a future that's even brighter than today. That's certainly something to look forward to.
As with any journey, there will be bumps in the road, challenging times that remind us that no school or community is perfect. After all, communities are made up of people! But Chesapeake Academy is made up of a pretty special group of people, by far the most important ingredient for good days and even better tomorrows.
Something to be grateful for. Something to look forward to. Thank you for being part of our blue skies. Now let's see where we can go TOGETHER.
My best always,
Trip

Together, We Soar!
Head of School Trip Cogburn set the school's intention at convocation when he addressed the community about the character theme for the school year: "Together!" His remarks outlining the value of collaboration and community follow:
We are at our best when we are connected - when we are TOGETHER.
Anybody have a big bowl of cereal or bacon and eggs for breakfast? I know some of you are already thinking about what’s for lunch! If you’re like me, you might already be thinking about what comes after that healthy meal - dessert! You gotta have a little something sweet every once in a while, and if I have my choice, I’m usually going for a cookie.
As some of you know, I love cookies. Soft and chewy, thin and crunchy, they’re all good. And while I enjoy oatmeal raisin, or a ginger molasses, for my money, the undisputed king or queen of cookies is a classic - the chocolate chip cookie.
But it’s always been interesting to me that so much attention is paid to the “extra” ingredients that go into the cookie--the chocolate chips, the walnuts, or the toffee. Because it’s not these little extras that make the cookie. A great cookie is great because of the dough.
The dough is the connective tissue that holds that circle of deliciousness together, and in doing so, allows the other ingredients to shine. The dough brings everything...together. And while we’ll all have our moments of glory, times where we too get to be like the chocolate chips, our most important job is to dependably be part of the dough.
But you know, making the wonderful dough takes work - every single time it’s work. If you take shortcuts or try to cheat the process, it’s just not the same.
As human beings who are part of this school community, staying connected also takes work. How we choose to present ourselves when we are at school, and the attitude and effort we put forth impacts not only ourselves, but this entire community. We’re not going to feel our best everyday, but every day is a chance to give the best that we have - to put in the work of taking care of our school.
One very important way people stay connected and together is by showing that they care about each other. Teams often do that with a simple gesture that means so much - a high-five. A high-five, a low-five, a fist bump - that simple act of connection communicates so much depending on the moment - good job - that’s ok - I’m sorry - I’ve got you, my friend.
In fact, the University of California at Berkeley conducted a study in which they predicted the success of every professional basketball team in the NBA based on how many high-fives they gave each other. And wouldn’t you know, at the end of the season, the teams giving the most high fives, the teams most committed to staying connected and together, were far and away the most successful.
Human touch such as the high five is vital for building trust and cooperation, reducing stress, and reinforcing that we are teammates, operating for the good of the group.
Each and every one of us is part of the team. We are all Ospreys. Without the contributions of everybody in this room, we can’t have the year that we want to have. I need you, and you need each other. We’re in this TOGETHER.
So, to be sure we get this year started right, as you make your way out of the gym today I’m going to give every one of you a high-five to solidify the bond we share as teammates at Chesapeake Academy, and in life, a promise that we will take care of each other.
We will be kind in the hallways and respectful on the playground. Diligent in our learning and joyful in our relationships. Positive in our interactions and grateful for the opportunity presented to us each day.
We will respect ourselves, respect others, and respect our community. And we’ll do it all, TOGETHER.

Chesapeake Academy Preps for 10 Year Accreditation Visit
Chesapeake Academy belongs to the Virginia Association of Independent Schools. (VAIS serves to promote the well-being of and public regard for independent schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia; to safeguard the interests of these schools in matters of legislation and regulation; to act as an evaluating and accrediting organization for independent schools in Virginia; to foster mutually beneficial relations with the Virginia State Department of Education and other educational agencies; to assist member schools in maintaining standards of excellence; to encourage activities and to exchange information about new methodologies and practices; and to provide community service and leadership.)"
CA will undergo our 10 year Accreditation Visit in April of 2024. The process leading up to this visit involves a sequence of surveying and self-study that identifies strengths, challenges, and planned action steps in all areas of the school program. Accrediting team leaders toured the school this week, met with the Steering Committee, and planned their April visit.
Steering Committee Chair Kenzie Manetz explains, "CA, like all schools, is strategically reentering many of the curricular outreach and enrichment programs that were in place prior to the pandemic and choosing new ones. Fully realizing the vision for CA's Arts & Innovation Program continues to be a primary goal. At the same time, the school is adapting to the realities of post-pandemic education. Our continued focus on the whole child incorporates flexible academic strategies and purposeful social/emotional guidance for children and their families. Rounding out CA's top priorities is ensuring that the best educators are in place to lead the charge. We are excited about this process and look forward to April."

First Grade Designs a Class Crest...Together!
“We are each unique and beautiful, but together, we are a masterpiece.” Mother Theresa
Exploring the school year theme of “together,” first graders are putting the word into practice. Working as a group, students chose the crest shape and banner. They then decided on four pictures to represent fields of study, likes, and expressions of emotion for the class, as a whole. Coloring and adorning the crest as individuals and labeling with names makes it our own.

Third Grade Gets Gatgetastic!
Inspired by the third grade summer reading novel, The Gadget War, by Betsy Duffy, Ms. Rogers' students stretched their problem solving skills in a design challenge to design their own gadgets!
This STEM challenge involved creating a gadget that could grab and pick up different size marbles and transport them from one area to another. The class dubbed them "picker uppers."
Given a fixed set of supplies, students made a model, tested the model, and then discussed successful things about their models and things they could do to improve their models. Design thinking sparks creativity and develops problem solving, persistence, and good collaboration and communication skills! Go, third grade!

Writers On the Move
Fifth grade writer's workshop students were up and moving as they reviewed the COPS strategy of editing. Students moved about the classroom and middle school hall correcting the capitalization, organization, punctuation, and spelling in sentences at each station. COPS is a fundamental editing tool that fifth graders will practice using throughout the year.

Where in the Wide, Wonderful World?
Fifth grade geography is starting off the year with a unit on map skills. The goals of this unit include drawing and labeling maps, naming the elements of a map (title, scale, key, compass rose), identifying different types of maps, using cardinal and intermediate directions, and locating the Earth's oceans, continents, and hemispheres. Students have gotten hands-on experience using a compass to determine directions on campus and drawing their own maps and floorplans!

Place-Based Field Studies Drive Deep Learning!
CA seventh and eighth grade students, along with their science teacher, Robin Blake, traveled to the Friends of the Rappahannock River’s headquarters in Fredericksburg. They had an amazing day comparing the part of the Rappahannock River where the fall line is located with the Carters Creek portion of the river where they kayaked last week.
Students were very interested in the fact that the water was fresh near the fall line and brackish here--hence the “critters” they found in both locations were different. Students walked across the river on the rocks due to the current drought, collecting specimens and macroinvertebrates (eels, crayfish, and even a hellgrammite which is the macroinvertebrate dobsonfly).
It was really exciting for them to collect and then identify all of the different macroinvertebrates, which they will compare with those they find at Dragon Run when they visit that fresh water ecosystem in a couple of weeks.

Being the Change...
CA students have learned that whatever happens upstream on the Rappahannock River, creates consequences for local marine ecology. CA parent Chris Dollar (of tacklecove.com) and volunteers with the Coastal Conservation Association lead CA sixth and seventh grade students in a reef ball building workshop hosted at Refuel in Irvington. These concrete balls will be put on a reef location in Carter's creek to help water-filtering oysters.
Students worked together in teams to build reef molds, affixing them to a platform, then mixing cement. They sprayed the inside of the mold with sugar water to prevent the mold from sticking while they were mixing the three 80 pound bags of cement. It is no simple feat to spray and mix simultaneously! Adding a bladder to the top, students filled it with air and squeezed 4" rubber balls in the mold that will become holes for crabs and other small fish to hide in, and will become a natural protector for them. Once the balls were installed, students added cement, and one team member tapped the side with a mallet to ensure no air pockets and all the cement dripped down to the bottom. When it was filled to the top lip, they again sprayed sugar water on the top to seal the cement.
Becoming part of the solution to ecological challenges identified in their field studies was exciting for students, especially as they recently learned about the sediment and other pollutants creating more algae, harming the waters of the Rapphannock and Bay.
Students knew exactly where these balls were going to be placed, since they kayaked right past the reef. Excitement is high for "hatching" the reef balls from their concrete forms. The next steps involve working as a team to build 5 additional reef balls, making a total of 13!

Building Leaders: Student Council Update
Student Council elections producd a new flight of leaders. Left to right, Jake Lewis is Vice President, and Charley Manetz is Secretary. Ryann Kenner is Student Council President, and Miriam Sisson is Student Council Treasurer. The leaders meet once a week to connect, plan events, and map out service projects.
In one of their first responsibilities, this new leadership team lead their peers in signing the Honor Board in an unbroken chain of intent. Head of School Trip Cogburn and Dean of Students Catherine Emery prepared students to add their names to the Honor Board to indicate their vow to create a culture of honor with their work, their words and their deeds.
Elections for class representatives for middle school are complete. Thank you to each person who stepped forward to run. It takes courage and a spirit of willingness to serve to put yourself on the line. Those traits matter in our community. Congratulations to newly elected class representatives: In fifth grade, Annabel Clair; in sixth grade, Nolan Pittman; In seventh grade, Lucas Clair, and in eighth grade, Finley Major.
Trip Cogburn Prepares Middle Schoolers to Sign Honor Code

Coach's Corner
We are off to a great start to our fall athletic season! Our teams have been working hard, learning about themselves and their teammates as student-athletes, and really coming together as volleyball and soccer teams!
I'm happy to share that we've been able to welcome two great soccer coaches, Coach D (Rauf Demirkan) and Coach Nuhan (Nuhan Demirkan), to our athletic program this fall. Their passion for the sport matches their knowledge of the game, and we’re so fortunate that they are sharing their talents with the 28 Ospreys who are on the field each day.
Soccer had a big win in the season opener against Aylett Country Day School! In addition to our new coaches, I'm excited that we are able to field both a JV and a Varsity team this year, and the excitement for the game is quickly building among others!
Volleyball also had a solid showing in their season opener against Richmond County and a tough 1-2 loss to ACDS. With eight players returning and two new players, the team has been able to jump right into things, and the excitement and growth at practice and games is fun to watch!
In addition to these competitive sports offerings, we are also thrilled to share that we have eight Ospreys who are participating in a running club this season. Ms. Harrison will lead this group on twice a week runs at Hills Quarter and around Irvington. So, if you are out and about and see them in action, please give them a cheer!
We're so happy to be back in action, and we hope that you'll be able to join us in supporting our student-athletes this fall! All games are posted on the school calendar, and we'd love to see you on the sidelines!
Go Ospreys!
