2017 - 2018 Annual Report : simplebooklet.com

3InsightDear Prince of Peace family,As we look back at the 2017-2018 school year and rejoice over all that God accomplished here at Prince of Peace, we rest in the promise and hope of being KNOWN by the Lord.Isaiah 43:1b says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” YOU and YOUR CHILDREN are KNOWN by God personally. I believe HE has brought you here to be an important member of the Prince of Peace community. I believe God wants you each to know of His LOVE and GRACE, FORGIVENESS and the gift of ETERNAL LIFE. Recently, I came across a survey with results that stated:• One out of every six 8th graders…• One out of every ve 10th graders…• One out of every four 12th graders……never attends church, does not pray and does not believe in God.While some may see this as a tragic statistic (and it is), I see the opportunity right here at Prince of Peace to minister to these children alongside the students who do have a rm faith foundation. God KNOWS each and every one of them, and it is an incredible privilege and responsibility that we share, as God’s people and a school community, to GROW Christians and to help Christians GROW! I pray you nd peace, passion and purpose in knowing that God is using all of us — faculty, staff, families and students — to be His hands and feet and to reect the love of Jesus to everyone with whom we come in contact. May God bless us as we work together to best care for and develop our children, and successfully fulll our mission of “Providing a Christ-centered exem-plary education, developing disciples and leaders for success and service in the 21st century.”Sincerely,Chris HahnHeadmaster

FLL teams are responsible for building and programming a robot to complete specic tasks in two and one-half minutes. The programming is simple enough for students to learn, but advanced enough to build on year after year. These teams have access to the Grandpa Bob Pfeil Robotics Center for meetings, practices and an annual scrimmage to prepare for competition. Like other sports teams, the students prepare through two to ve hours of practice per week. In FLL, teams use the Lego Technic EV3 building system which utilizes famil-iar Lego parts as well as motors and sen-sors. Teams research and present a proj-ect for a solution to a real-world problem and are evaluated on the project, robot design/performance and team building skills at each competition. Through this process, students learn teamwork and gain problem solving skills. Coaches also see increased condence in students like Noah Johnson, a 7th grade FLL team member, as they master the art of pre-senting solutions and backing up ndings to judges and referees without adult help. Noah says, “Speaking in front of judges can [make you] a bit nervous, but in the end they are just people. I learned how to speak from a script, while sound-ing like a natural conversation.”The POPCS FLL teams have had great success over the past seven years, with several teams advancing to regional championships. During the 2016-2017 competitive season, POPCS had six teams competing, ve of which advanced to the regional champion-ship. During the 2017-2018 season, one POPCS team was invited to and attended an invitational competition in Estonia, a country in Northern Europe, for their competitive robot (See inset “Eagles in Estonia”). In 2010, a group of four high school seniors formed the rst Prince of Peace Christian School robotics team. The mission of the team was to allow students and mentors to share and apply knowledge of engineering, business and leadership skills through a fun, hands-on-experience. With the help of high school advisor and teacher Rick Knotts, one parent serving as the coach and one grand-parent serving as a mentor, students worked toward a common goal of designing, building, marketing and operating a competitive robot in a business-like environment. Despite the lack of a lab, limited re-sources and little knowledge, each student had a passion for building and creating, and each adult sponsor had a commitment to helping these students explore their interests and develop their strengths in a fun, challenging environment. With that rst team, POPCS Robotics was born.Since POPCS Robotics’ inception, its teams have competed in the “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” (FIRST) Robotics league. Founded in 1989, the FIRST program has reached over 515,000 students, held events in 83 countries and provides over $80,000,000 in scholarship opportunities annually. The compe-titions are the result of focused brainstorming, real-world teamwork, dedicated mentoring, project timelines and deadlines, and provide students with the opportunity to work closely with engineers and business professionals. Each year, the competitions are different with the details kept secret until the kickoff events. This provides return-ing students a new challenge and creates a high level of excitement.Today, POPCS Robotics consists of three levels of teams: FIRST Lego® League, FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotic Competition.POPCS ROBOTICSCombining real world experience and academics to develop the next generation of leaders in technology

5FIRST TECH CHALLENGE (FTC)FTC is for grades 7 through 12 and bridges the gap between FLL and FRC. Through building a robot, stu-dents gain experience in brainstorming, critical thinking, designing, building, pro-gramming, evaluating and re-evaluating to make improvements throughout the design process. The students also learn more about being a team. Grant Reed-er, who has participated in FLL and FTC says, “We were in different teams during FLL, and it was difcult to work as one team because of this. Through-out the year [in FTC], we learned how each individual worked with the team. At the end of the year, we all knew how we complemented one another.”POPCS has two FTC teams, Robotic Rangers and POPBOTICS. These teams learn to draw using computer-aided de-sign programs. Some of the designs they create are then output on a 3D printer. The teams’ ability to design a compo-nent, draw it, print it and use it on the robot within a few hours is impressive. FTC team member Nikolaus Stringer says designing was his favorite part of the process “because you can basically design what you want the robot to look like, and there are so many ways to solve the task so the freedom of that makes it fun.”Students also learn to use some unique tools. After using a CAD program to design a robot, students can use a band saw, drill press, lathe, milling machine or CNC router to assemble alumi-num polycarbonate and 3D printed parts to make a functional robot. Since the control hardware uses standard Android phones, team mem-bers also learn to program using Goo-gle’s Android Studio with Java. This gets students comfortable with program-ming in a mobile environment. After a basic robot is functioning, sensors are added to enable the robot to interact autonomously with the environment. From encoders to vision sensors, each sensor provides valuable feedback to the robot to help it perform its func-tion. The students are having so much fun building, designing and competing, they often don’t realize how much they learned. For his part, Grant Reeder says, “We learned about what we could do to improve our robot driving skills and how to work better as a team, and we met many teams that helped us through-out the competition.”Through the years, the FTC teams continue to challenge themselves and improve on the previous year, while re-ceiving awards for innovative designs. In 2016-2017, Robotics Rangers won the Inspire Award and their League Division, qualifying them for the North Texas Regional. At the North Texas Regional, the team was one of three teams in the winning alliance and received the PTC Creo design award. The team ended its year at the South Super Regional in Ath-ens, Georgia, competing with 72 teams from 11 states. During the 2017-2018 season, rookie team POPBOTICS ad-vanced rst to the South Super Region-als and then the World Championship in Houston, Texas. Nikolaus Stringer credits hard work for their success, and says, “Each day we would come in with new ideas to solve the problem. We al-ways pushed through each challenge.” FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION (FRC)FRC is the varsity level of robotics competition. At its heart is the “six intense weeks” during which students and engineers work to brainstorm, design, construct and test their robot. Building season is followed by com-petitions which are no-holds-barred tournaments, complete with referees, cheerleaders and time clocks, with dif-ferent tasks to score each year. These unique tasks have included launching Frisbees, stacking garbage cans, tra-versing obstacles and climbing a rope.POPCS is home to FRC team RoboPOP. Even though it is one of the smaller teams in the FRC competi-tions, the team consistently builds ro-

bots that perform at a highly compet-itive level. “[Being small has] pushed our team to adapt quickly and to learn faster to solve problems to help compete against other teams,” says Holden Campbell, a captain for last year’s team. Recent robots have been programed with Java programming language and the drivers use Xbox controllers to drive and activate mechanisms on the robot. To meet deadlines, students must ll a variety of roles – working with the tools and mechanics, programming, wiring and so on. In many ways, the teams are run like a business that includes marketing through design, social media and con-tacting sponsors. Laura Schaeffer, who helped with marketing this year, says her job “consisted of updating and working on [the POPCS Robotics] website, creating promotional videos and taking photos, [and she] learned teamwork and many new tactics on how to introduce robotics to others.”Being the most advanced of the POPCS Robotics teams, this group has come a long way in terms of knowledge, teamwork, leadership and community activities. RoboPOP has competed in Dallas, San Antonio, Lub-bock, Waco, St. Louis and Houston. In 2011, RoboPOP entered the Dal-las East-West Regional competition. They nished second in the competi-tion and received the Highest Rookie Seed Award. Since then, RoboPOP has competed at the World Champion-ship three times and in 2018, experi-enced continued success in the Texas region, where they nished in the top 10 at both competitions. Says Lau-ra, “[My] favorite part [of robotics] was competing because we were up against some of the best teams in the country and it really caused your ex-citement to rise, as well as your need to win (but still have tons of fun).” Since 2010, robotics has become a premier program for POPCS. It has developed relationships and partner-ships with local businesses which pro-vide an exchange of resources and tal-ent, highlighting mutual needs, building cooperation and exposing students to new career choices. Through the generous donations of The Pfeil Foundation Inc., POPCS Robot-ics now has the state-of-the-art Grandpa Bob Pfeil Robotics Center (see inset “Honoring Grandpa Bob”). It also has been richly blessed by many mentors and coaches, several of whom return year after year to help students, even long af-ter their own children have grad-uated. These volunteers, so crucial to the success of the program, do-nate hundreds of hours to work with, supervise and challenge the kids, while teaching them about the connec-tion between classroom lessons and real world applications. “Since being the FRC coach in 2010, I continue to volunteer be-cause I enjoy teaching the students the various benets of FIRST Robotics at all levels. Whether it is engineering principles, precisely operating a milling machine, program-ming the robot with sensors, docu-menting the build process, performing presentations for potential sponsors or tracking a budget, POPCS Robot-ics has a lot to offer – all this while encouraging teamwork and compet-ing with a robot,” says parent coach Bud Farnham. He adds, “Many of the skills learned from the POPCS Robot-ics program will be used for the rest of the students’ lives.” The benets to the students and the school of this combined effort are countless. POPCS Robotics has impacted the lives of many students since it began in 2010. Several robotics alumni have become engineers in various elds. Hayden Campbell will major in engi-neering this fall at Texas A&M. He says “[robotics] steered him in the direc-tion of becoming an engineer to work mechanical problems.” In addition, with almost 200 organizations provid-In June 2018, FLL team POPWarriors traveled to Estonia to compete in the International FLL compe-tition, the robotic Olympics, with more than 500 other students from around the world. Despite the fact that many teams had career coaches, corporate sponsorships and robotics embedded in their school curricu-lum, POPWarriors held its own with two callbacks, meaning the team’s initial presentations and robot design interested the judges enough for a second look. “We were honored to have had one callback, let alone two, as most teams did not get that,” said parent volunteer Anna Tseng. Adds her daughter and team member Ka-tie Tseng, “My favorite part about competing in Estonia was seeing all of these teams from different coun-tries coming together to compete [and] all of the different cultures. [T]here was dancing, singing, and a va-riety of different instruments being played all around where all the teams hang out. [I]t was truly magical seeing all of the different cultures showing off their team spirit!”Eagles inEstonia

7ing more than $80,000,000 in scholar-ships to FIRST competitors each year, there are many opportunities for FIRST robotics to assist students in college. In 2017, Quinn Farnham re-ceived a $20,000 Embry Riddle FIRST Scholar-ship and is current-ly attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Day-tona Beach, Florida. Numerous compa-nies/government en-tities including Apple, Department of De-fense, NASA, SpaceX and Texas Instruments also offer engineering internships through FIRST.Hailed as a “sport of the minds,” there are also many opportunities for students to continue using their FRC experience after leaving POPCS. Many colleges and universities have FIRST alumni clubs where students who were on high school FIRST teams continue to build robots and relationships, and mentor teams. But the impact of FIRST can be seen on younger students as well. Katie Tseng, a 7th grade FLL team member, says “The robotics experience helped my team trust each other more, and learn a lot more about each other. Not only does this improve our teamwork, but it also opens our eyes to the world’s issues. Sure, maybe we know that world hunger exists and affects people, but until you actually re-search and nd a solution to the prob-lem, you’ll never really become aware of how deeply it affects the people. [and how] many different ways [there are to] solve one problem.”With the generous donations of POPCS, parents and businesses, POPCS Robotics will continue to develop the problem solving and thinking skills nec-essary for the 21st century learner. To learn more about POPCS Robotics and whether it might be of interest to your student, email Rick Knotts at rick.knotts@popcs.org.Honoring GrandpaBobSince 2011, Robert “Grandpa Bob” Pfeil, grandfather of Bobby Pfeil (Class of 2014) and Dan Pfeil (former POPCS student), has been machining robot parts for POPCS Robotics and teaching students ma-chining techniques. Grandpa Bob learned to make machine parts in high school and was a machinist on the USS New York during World War II. A wealth of information, he has been instrumental in the growth of POPCS robotics. “I’ve spent my life machining parts. If I can help anybody who might be interested, I am glad to do that. After kids have seen what they can create on the machine, they get interested in mak-ing parts,” he says.On March 14, 2015, Grandpa Bob celebrated his 90th birthday. In honor of this tremendous achievement and as part of his birthday gift, The Pfeil Foundation Inc. made a generous donation to POPCS to create the Grandpa Bob Pfeil Robotics Center. The gift, made to honor Grandpa Bob, served to dramatically improve the STEM resources and robotics program at POPCS. As a result, the center is now the home of a new lathe, milling machine, high-end 3D printer and CNC router, as well as numerous other improvements.For Grandpa Bob, being involved in POPCS Robotics is about giving but he clearly feels he has benetted as well. “Building a competitive robot can be very complex and frustrating but also rewarding and extremely time consuming for all those involved. Working alongside ex-perienced volunteers, like Rick Knotts, Bud Farnham, Bob Bell, Mark Drosche and Mark Campbell has been grati-fying for me and hopefully they will return to keep the program operating as smoothly as possible,” he says. Even after 70 years of machining, Grandpa Bob still gets excited about new machines, the process and learning. He notes, “With the recent acquisition of four new high precision machines, we should be able to build or alter any future robot design or requirements. Getting the students exposed to as much varied machining and assembly as possible can even help them de-cide their future endeavor.”In addition to hosting the ro-botics program, The Grandpa Bob Pfeil Robotics Center has been used for several POPCS Boy Scout Eagle projects, including those of his grandsons. Dan designed and led a team which built some dura-ble workbenches in 2018. Bobby participated on the RoboPOP FRC team from 2011 through 2014. He designed and led the students who built the “Nest Defender” t-shirt shooter, now used to promote the POPCS robotics program at various athletic events. Grandpa Bob lives in Buffa-lo, New York in the summers, but continues to travel back to Texas each year to improve the robot-ics program at POPCS. Thank you to Grandpa Bob Pfeil and The Pfeil Foundation Inc. for your support of POPCS and this program!

Already a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Scott immediately became an involved parent – giving his time towards paint-ing the old gym ceiling, donating din-ners to the annual auction and serving on the POPCS school board. In 1998, Scott began coaching mid-dle school basketball and baseball. He continued until this year, long after his own children had left POPCS. Scott’s philosophy as a coach was that the kids should always have fun! He felt that whatever the sport, it is a game and kids should enjoy it, especially at the middle school level. Scott modeled this by learning to have fun on the court or eld, even in defeat. Whether his teams won a championship or lost every game, the most important thing was to be an exceptional mentor to the boys. Chris Hahn, POPCS Headmaster, says, “While competitive, as a coach Scott was exceptional about keeping things in perspective, always offering encour-Given to those whose commit-ment, service, achievements, in-volvement and passion for Prince of Peace Christian School have made a generational impact on our community, the Ray Fricke Good Shepherd Award is pre-sented each spring at commence-ment. e award was instituted in 2013, when it was presented to Ray’s wife, Marlene Fricke, in his honor. Ray Fricke served as prin-cipal of POPCS from 1991-1998, and is remembered for his ser-vant heart and lasting dedication to our school.agement and a smile. He was a favor-ite of both my boys.” Patrick Carlove, POPCS Chief Advancement Ofcer and former middle school principal, adds, “Scott always accepted kids where they were regardless of their ability, as peo-ple rst and athletes second. He was a wonderful example of good sportsman-ship and always represented the school well wherever he coached.”Coach Wright’s mentality about hav-ing fun evidenced itself in one of his tra-ditions with the baseball team. Every year during the rst few games, he would hand a player $5 and ask him to go get hotdogs for he and Coach Pietro. He said the look on each player’s face was priceless. This small act broke the ice with players he didn’t know, and was usually the begin-ning of building a relationship with them. None of the students ever took the bait until this year when the player he asked actually left the game and went to the concession stand to buy the hotdogs. He says it was the perfect way to end his coaching career here at POPCS.In early 2018, Scott received the blessing of two grandchildren born with-in 12 hours of each other. His daughter Stephanie also announced that she and her family would be moving to the Austin area, where his son Chris already lived. Scott and Kimberly saw the opportunity to move to Austin and be part of their grandchildren’s lives on a daily basis. Be-sides chasing after grandkids, and hope-fully coaching them in their sports, Scott plans to keep busy by traveling and riding his bike as much as he can. He insists life will be busy, just in a different way than when he was serving at POPCS. Coach Wright says he will miss coaching, the kids and his friendships with other POPCS families. He is thankful to Mr. Hahn and Coach Chad Henke for their support and friendship over the years. Scott is humbled to re-ceive this award, as he knew Ray Fricke personally and what he stood for. He is honored to be one of a small number of recipients who have all been dedi-cated to the school. For his servant heart, commitment to service and 20 years of dedication to POPCS, Patrick Carlove presented Scott with the Ray Fricke Good Shepherd Award during the 2018 commencement ceremony. POPCS wishes him the best on the next part of his journey. He will de-nitely be missed.

9Over a decade ago, Dr. Carol Dweck introduced the concept of the growth mindset in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Sim-ply stated, a mindset is a theory or belief in and about yourself. How many times have we said or heard the following: “I’m no good at math.” “I’m really good with words.” “I’m just dumb.” These types of beliefs and thoughts (both good and bad) stay with us into adulthood, and we believe them whole-heartedly. These are all exam-ples of mindsets — and these mindsets are incredibly powerful depending on how we see them. You see, there is a distinction be-tween a “xed” mindset and a “growth” mindset when it comes to our lives. People who think basic qualities, like intelligence and talent, cannot change have a “xed mindset.” They might believe that these alone bring success. However, those people who approach life with a “growth mind-set,” believe basic abilities can be developed through dedication, perseverance, and hard work. They believe that the skills, abilities, and understanding they currently have are starting points to growth. When students and schools embrace a growth mindset, resilience and love for learning create the foundation for a lifetime of development academically, socially and spiritually. I believe strongly that Jesus’ incredible sacrice through his death and resurrection leads us to living in growth. Paul writes in Colossians 2:6-7, “So then, just as you re-ceived Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overowing with thankfulness.” By the grace of God, we receive faith in Jesus by the power of His Spirit in order that we might be rooted in His grace and continual-ly strengthened in Him. And because of His unconditional love and free gift of salvation, we heed the words of Peter in 2 Peter 1:5-8, “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in in-creasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” That’s the POPCS faith growth mindset in action, and over the past two years, our focus in the high school has been to strategize and plan with a growth mindset. Following are a few of the initiatives that have resulted from these efforts.INTENSIVE SCHEDULEIn the fall of 2017, the high school and middle school embraced a new dai-ly schedule. After months of study and professional development, an alternating intensive schedule was introduced to fam-ilies so that students might experience and appreciate a college-preparatory daily schedule that improves school culture and student efcacy, and provides for more in-tentional student-teacher relationships. The intensive schedule provides a ro-tating schedule wherein students take four 85-minute class periods each day. Includ-ed three days per week is a 35-minute homeroom called High School or Middle School Block. Students report to a specic room and teacher to study, receive help in other classes, or relax and build relation-ships with friends. A primary benet to this schedule is reducing daily stress and transi-tions from room to room. COLLEGE GUIDANCE AND SCHOOL COUNSELINGAt the same time, Mrs. Nancy Whitley joined POPCS in the fall of 2017 to ex-pand our College and Academic Guidance department. With over 12 years of college guidance experience, Mrs. Whitley is rec-ognized by her peers as a master coun-selor who connects POPCS students with A GROWTH MINDSET LEADSTO NEW INITIATIVES IN THE HIGH SCHOOLDr. Jeremy Lowe is starting his third year as the Prince of Peace Christian high school principal. Originally from Vail, Colorado, Dr. Lowe moved to POPCS from Vail Christian High School. Dr. Lowe and his wife Amanda, who works at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, have three children at POPCS, Rachel (8th grade), Zachary (6th grade) and Matthew (3rd grade). by Dr. Jeremy Lowe

Coupled with a one-to-one scheduling and coaching philosophy, Mrs. Whitley introduces stu-dents to many more colleges around the United States in an effort to nd the best “t” for life after high school. It’s a joy to see Mrs. Whitley praying with students and families as they seek God’s will for college selection. Additionally, faculty members Mrs. Michelle Dwyer and Mr. Gary Prindiville were called to serve as school counsel-ors seeking to help students cope with the stresses of school and life. They share the love of Jesus with students and facul-ty alike as we seek to care for and nur-ture students each day helping them to understand they are unique and loved children of God with a bright future of service and leadership. High school is much more stressful today for our youth when compared to my experience. I’m thankful for these Godly counselors who love and care for our students each day.SWIVLLast year, due to the generous sup-port of the POPCS community, a Swivl Robot was purchased for every high school classroom. Swivl is a robotic base that wirelessly tracks teachers in class-rooms in order to video podcast (vod-cast) their lectures. These lecture vid-eos are then stored on a specic server and students have access to these links for each vodcasting class. They were beta-tested last year by a number of POPCS high school instructors, and stu-dents were grateful that they had access to lectures when out sick, traveling for school events, or for test review. In the 2018-2019 school year, all core courses will be vodcasting each week. Reducing student stress and providing options for them to achieve academically so they can continue to participate in extracur-ricular activities is a priority for us.COLLEGE PREP COURSESA growth mindset academically means offering more for your students and maximizing your tuition dollar. Over the last three years, the following high school classes have been introduced: AP Seminar, AP Research, AP Art History, AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Spanish Language, Dual Credit Computer Sci-ence, Sign Language, Film Appreciation, Sociology, Christian Finance, and Jesus in the Media. Offering more choices allows your students to develop new interests and passions as they seek the path God lays before them. It also allows students to choose a more rigorous course load that not only serves to prepare them for college but may have the added benet of giving them college credits. THE AP CAPSTONEDIPLOMA PROGRAMPOPCS proudly announced The AP Capstone Diploma Program within the high school AP Academy for the 2017-2018 school year. When a student is awarded The AP Capstone Diploma, it indicates they have earned an advanced diploma through a rigorous and specif-ic course load of Advanced Placement classes. AP Capstone requires students to take a minimum of six AP courses beginning with AP Seminar and AP Re-search, classes that prepare students to think and write in a scholarly manner. AP Seminar and AP Research direct students to analyze interesting topics through dif-ferent perspectives, conduct an investi-gation, propose solutions to “real world problems,” collaborate in teams and make cross-cultural connections. The AP Capstone Diploma Pro-gram also requires minimum AP exam grades to earn this prestigious diploma. Should students not take the requisite amount of AP courses or not receive high enough scores, they will earn an AP Seminar and Research Certicate showing college-level academic and re-search skills. According to the College Board, “AP Capstone cultivates curious, independent and collaborative scholars and prepares them to make logical, ev-idence-based decisions.” In short, AP Capstone creates a training structure for students to be successful not only during the high school years but also during college. Upon its introduction, POPCS was one of only 300 schools in the nation to focus on preparing students in this unique way for college success. THE FUTUREBeginning in the fall of 2018, stu-dents can choose to take any number of online courses through the new POP Online catalog as part of their curricu-lar day. This allows POPCS to embrace non-traditional students and schedules so that our families can adjust class schedules to meet their family needs. Online learning has become so main-stream that almost every college stu-dent will take at least one online course as part of their undergraduate program. That percentage increases into masters and terminal degree programs. Preparing our students for the class-rooms of tomorrow is critical in a growth mindset, so much so that ex courses will also be offered within the honors course load beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. Flex courses are blended learning classes whereby students interact with teachers in “on ground” classes and digi-tal classrooms outside normal class time. Renovations to the high school com-mons and courtyard will provide a com-fortable and inviting place for students to study during the day. Teaching students to advocate for themselves and own their education is a critical piece of their fu-ture success in life. I want to thank our faithful staff and faculty for pouring their heart and soul into the lives of our students. They are the engine of our school and the ace of our daily ministry to the DFW com-munity. A sincere and heart-felt thank you to our many donors that make this place a home and family to over 800 students — we could not fulll our mis-sion without your trust and faithfulness. Know this: IT’S A GREAT TIME TO BE AN EAGLE!

11e Headmaster’s Award, initiated in 2000, was introduced by current headmaster Chris Hahn as a way to celebrate and identify outstanding members of the Prince of Peace Christian School faculty and sta. It recognizes achievement in consistently ex-hibiting excellence in interactions with families and peers, and for going above and beyond to make a dif-ference in the lives of the students with whom they work. e men and women who exhibit the traits of a Headmaster’s Award recipient encourage growth among the student body, POPCS families and fellow faculty members by making an eort to be the fruit of Christ’s love through their unceasing service to oth-ers. e Headmaster’s Award recognizes this eort to go above and beyond and be a servant leader among the POPCS community.Nominations for the Headmaster’s Award are made by POPCS faculty and sta and are submitted with supporting information for the nomination. ese peer nominations are reviewed by the POPCS lead-ership team which selects the nal recipients. is year marked the 17th year this award has been present-ed to either one or two faculty or sta members. e 2017-2018 recipients, Alaina Cordina and Amy Mech, were recognized for their embodiment of this award through their interactions with those around them on a daily basis. LETTING GOD WORK THROUGH HERALAINA CORDINAHigh School Academic Support Program (ASP) Coordinator Alaina Cordina strives to equip students with the skills they need to be successful, life-long learners in a strong relationship with Christ.Alaina Cordina appears to have life all gured out. She is hap-pily married to Chris Cordina, her husband of 10 years, is the proud mother of POPCS 1st grader Ryan and is starting her sixth year teaching at POPCS. However, Alaina’s life plan wasn’t always this clear. When Alaina entered college, she didn’t plan to teach. When she entered the teaching profession, she didn’t plan to work in special education. Now, 16 years after she started teaching, Alaina is quick to point out that her journey has God’s handwriting all over it. From prompting her to return to school to get a teaching certication, to sending her to a school at which she had not planned to interview, Alaina says God was always working behind the scenes. But when Alaina spent two hours interviewing for a teaching po-sition in a public school and the prin-cipal said she didn’t have the job Alaina wanted, it was what came next that got Alaina’s attention. Alaina says, “The principal told me that she believed God had other plans for me and asked me to try teaching in special educa-tion.” The principal promised Alaina that if she was not happy after two years, she could have the teaching job of her choice. Alaina accepted and it was the beginning of a wonderful ca-reer and a closer walk with God that PASSION FOR CHRISTHeadmaster Award Recipients Consistently Make a Dierence rough eir Service.

During that time, Alaina would come to POPCS and work with these kids. When the High School ASP Coordinator posi-tion opened at POPCS in 2013, Alaina applied for the job and got it. Once again, Alaina gives credit to God for putting her at POPCS and says, “I would not trade being at POPCS for anything. Here, I feel at home.”As someone who sees God’s handprints all over her own life, Alaina has a special view of the POPCS mission. For her, it means that she gets to “equip students with the skills they need to be successful, life-long learners in a strong relationship with Christ and to be condent about themselves and what God wants them to be.” High school principal Dr. Jeremy Lowe says, “Mrs. Cordina embodies what we mean by servant leader. Her tireless efforts with students and families to make a dif-ference in their education creates beau-tiful relationships that endure over the years. Ask anyone about working with Mrs. Cordina and they point to her ad-vocacy and love of kids that ows from her strong faith in Jesus. Her work is the mission of POPCS embodied.”Alaina’s philosophy about teach-ing means that her work doesn’t end with addressing her students’ academ-ic needs. As her colleague James Cle-land notes, “Alaina and her team put the needs of their students rst, and in doing this show them the love of Christ. She sees her students in a ho-listic way that acknowledges that they have emotional, physical and spiritual needs that cannot be ignored in the learning process.” POPCS parent Kim Fowler says, “My son Jackson calls her the GOAT — ‘greatest of all time.’ Mrs. Cordina is part teacher, academic advisor, counsel-or, mom, nurse, coach and disci-plinarian. You name it, she does it, all with love and a smile, even for students who are not enrolled in the ASP.” Kim continues, “She just wants to make sure every student gets exactly what they need. That is her sole focus.”Some of the highlights of Alaina’s time at POPCS include watching ASP grow into one that successfully equips students to be independent, self-advo-cating and condent individuals. She also loves witnessing the relationships that form between student/teacher and student/student. For Alaina, the

13God brought the Mech family to POPCS in 2005 when their old-est son Ian started 2nd grade. Amy im-mediately became a parent volunteer at the school, but God seemed to have bigger plans for her. The following year, Ian was joined at POPCS by his young-er brothers Rohnan, a 1st grader, and Ardon, who was in preschool. That same year, Amy began working part-time as a teaching assistant. When Ar-don entered kindergarten, Amy moved to the PS 4’s classroom for one year, and following that, began teaching kin-dergarten. Amy continued as a kinder-garten teacher until 2016, when she began teaching lower school art. While Amy has held a number of positions at POPCS, her approach to teaching has consistently stemmed from best part of being an educator is the relationships. Her open door policy means that students are often either texting her or hanging out in her room even during the summers. She also attends many of their athletic games after hours. “I treasure the moments when students return af-ter they have graduated to ask for help or just to catch up on what is going on in their lives,” says Alaina. She also loves seeing students set goals and work to achieve them. She notes, “It means the world to me that they allow me to be part of their goals no matter what my role is.” It is notable that Alaina’s students feel the same way. POPCS alumni Parker Strong says, “God placed Mrs. Cordina in my life for a very special purpose. Without her, I would not be where I am today spiritually or ac-ademically. When Mrs. Cordina told me, ‘Hey Parker… I got you!’ I knew that everything would be ok because we were loved and cared about and she was a person of her word.” Alaina’s goals for the ASP are as single-minded as her passion for serving students. Says Alaina, “God created each of us as special and unique, and we are all perfect in His eyes. One of my goals through the ASP is for each and every student to leave POPCS knowing they are loved unconditionally by God and by me.” For Alaina, it is important that all stu-dents love themselves for how God created them to be.Alaina is excited about seeing where God is going to take her and the ASP. “It is exciting to think about what He is going to do through me and how He is going to make things even better.” And if the status quo is His plan for her, that is ne too. “I feel fullled because I am doing God’s work. This job is my calling and I am just His tool,” she says. What-ever the future holds, Alaina knows everything is part of God’s plan and she is ready for the ride. LIVING FAITH IN ALL SHE DOESAMY MECHLower school art teacher Amy Mech uses her classroom as a place where children can witness grace and love while learning how to honor God.

Page 15

1414her vision of what a Christ-centered, exemplary education looks like. Amy says, “[The POPCS mission] means that as educators we are living our faith in all we do. Moreover, it is having the oppor-tunity to be love and grace as well as demonstrate how we use our gifts, our creativity and our expression to glorify Him.” She continues, “Being exemplary means illustrating the expectation of trying and doing our best—in the class-room and in relationships, and beyond the walls and timeframe of school. We are developing disciples and life-long learners.” There can be no doubt that this view of her mission fuels Amy’s passion for going above and beyond in the classroom. POPCS middle school principal Betsy Graham says, “When I think about truly exemplary teachers, Amy Mech immediately comes to mind. A core member of the ‘Heart of an Ea-gle’ team, everything Mrs. Mech does is lled with creativity, passion, and a gen-uine love for the children she teaches.”A simple conversation with Amy shows that even absent this mission, her faith would be an integral part of her work. Amy says, “Knowing the Lord and being in a relationship with Him al-lows me to show the beauty and pow-er of a relationship with Christ. Sharing the story of the Gospel, living out the message of faith and salvation, being an example of His light, love and grace is what we are called to be and to do every day.” Colleague Dale Dobbs says, “Amy Mech is a shining example of who a Christian is through her teaching. Amy exhibited the fruits of the spirit by her actions which were full of love for the students. She had joy in her teaching, peace and self-control amid the chaos of the art room, and patience and kind-ness with struggling students.” Claire Pritchett, a POPCS 4th grader, was in one of Amy’s kindergarten classes, and more than three years later she still remembers that “[Mrs. Mech] told us each day that Jesus loves us.”While teaching is clearly a min-istry for Amy, being in the classroom also leads to what she calls “magical” ex-periences on a daily basis. Amy says, “The excitement of seeing a chick hatch, learn-ing to read, slinging paint across a page or [seeing students] expressing them-selves in a way they haven’t ever tried is simply extraordinary.” One of Amy’s art students comments, “Mrs. Mech’s class was great because it taught us all about the elements of art. She made each sec-tion of art we studied super fun!” Claire Pritchett adds, “I love how Mrs. Mech al-ways did extra things for us. She let us hatch baby chicks and hold them!”Amy’s love for learning not only elicits excitement from her students but admiration from her peers as well. Betsy Graham says, “She brought new life to our Lower School Art program, including spearheading the annual Art Night festivities. Mrs. Mech partnered with classroom teachers across the curriculum to help what students were learning come alive in a whole new way in the Art Room.” POPCS kindergarten teacher Lois DeSatterlee worked along-side Amy for several years. Lois says that one of her favorite things about Amy was Amy’s gift of excitement. “It’s easy to plan for and expect excitement for special events/programs, but the day-to-day routine activities can become pretty ho hum. Amy brought a sincere fresh-ness to all aspects of our kindergarten day. Amy is also a gifted listener; laugh-ter, compassion, and understanding are trademark qualities that make her an unforgettable teacher, as well as a cher-ished friend,” says Lois. When asked what it means to re-ceive this award, Amy shows yet anoth-er quality that endears her to students, parents and faculty alike—humility. Amy says, “I love POPCS and believe rmly in the ministry here. POPCS has been our family for a decade, and I am blessed to have been a servant in this ministry.” Amy’s humility is no surprise to Dale Dobbs who says, “When complimented on the products of her amazing teach-ing, Amy would never take credit but gave it to God. She is a humble servant.”POPCS and its students have clearly been blessed to have Amy as a parent, volunteer and teacher. Colleague Vicky Herget says, “Amy is a loving and gifted teacher who has touched so many lit-tle children’s lives with her sweet spirit. She truly has a unique way of encour-aging each child to do their best and to love each other’s unique creations as God loves each of them.” While Amy has decided to retire from teach-ing after the 2017-2018 school year to spend more time with her family, it is clear that her dedication to reecting Christ’s love, both in and out of the classroom, to her students, POPCS families and fellow teach-ers, means her impact will last for many years to come.

23LOVING MEMORIES OF LaylaLaylaLayla can only be described as pure sunshine. Her 1,000-watt smile lit up rooms and she befriended every-one she met. To quote her K-Prep teacher Rachel Sosinski, “Her goal in life was making others smile. It’s who she was.” Her silly personality, love for knock-knock jokes and making her rainbows any color she wanted will forever be missed.Like all children, God created Layla to be special, for His purpose and for a specic amount of time. As parents, we oen struggle with the latter. It’s unimaginable to even con-sider for a moment that your child may not start Kinder-garten, graduate from high school or have children of their own one day, but seeing God’s purpose walked out through your child even aer they are gone brings a peace beyond all understanding (Philippians 4:7).Our family could not be more blessed to be part of the Prince of Peace family before, during and aer cancer. To experience the love that others have for Layla and the reach that her life has had is what reminds us that God is good. Knowing her heart continues to walk the halls of the school each day gives us great comfort that she will not soon be for-gotten. Her love and legacy live on.—Sara Stamp“Dear children, let us not love with words or tonguebut with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18Layla Rose Stamp was born to Bryan and Sara Stamp on September 21, 2012. Two and one-half years later she was joined by her broth-er Daniel. Layla began attending POPCS in the fall of 2014. She was diagnosed with brain cancer in Novem-ber 2017 and she battled it with strength and spirit for the next 12 months. Layla passed from this world and joined her heavenly Father on November 11, 2017, just two months before the arrival of her baby sister Evelyn Jo Rose (named after Layla).Layla’s life was a testimony to her love of the Lord, and her positivity in all circumstances. Inspired by the way Layla lived her life, she was hon-ored by the POPCS community which teamed up with Boy Scout Troop 701 to host a Christmas toy collec-tion drive during the 2017 holiday season. All the toys collected were donated to Children’s Medical Center in honor of Layla. On May 11, 2018, Layla was further honored for her courage and spirit at the Second An-nual POPCS Color Run. Layla’s life was far too short, but in that time she made an indelible mark on all those around her, and that will last for years to come.

From the beginning, I truly believed the changes recommended in that meeting were for the best and in line with the Lord’s mission at POPCS, and was excited about the oppor-tunities that lay before the school if we successfully made those changes. Now, just two years later, I am amazed at how God has moved our school community. As we read in the book of Acts, “… if it is of the Lord, it is unstoppable” (Acts 5:39), and as we witness every day, the Lord’s work at POPCS is unstoppable. This year, the Lord moved our POPCS family to serve more than 6,000 hours of volunteer time towards building our school community, strengthening relationships between families, teachers and staff, and equipping our students for service and success. In addition to all of the time, energy and talents given to the school, we received over $1,170,000 in donations, of which $1,033,903 was designated for the EaglE Fund. Because of the Spirit’s guidance and your generosity, we are able to continue investing signicantly in individuals, innovation and infrastructure to make POPCS the best it can be, to the Glory of God for His purpose here. My primary goals continue to be building relationships with our students and families, fostering continued support for our mission and leading our community towards the goals established by our strategic plan. The coming year will be a year of changes, which I truly believe are in line with God’s plan for the school and which will only serve to continue strengthening our bonds as Christians serving the Lord. We know that in the midst of change, our Lord remains constant, and that if we as a school family continue to do His work here, we will be unstoppable!

25SUMMARY OF FUNDRAISING BY SOURCESWhyWe GiveWe Give to POPCSe Spence family has been part of the POPCS community since Jan-uary 2012. Adam is a nancial advisor with CPF Texas, and Taryn is a veterinarian at VCA Metroplex Animal Hos-pital. eir children are Walker (2nd grade), Ayla (Kindergarten) and Ri-lyn (PK-3). Adam and Taryn served as Ani-ty Group leaders for the E F campaign during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years and will be serv-ing as the Chairs for the 2018-2019 E F campaign.What does it mean to you to invest in your children’s future? For us, it means much more than developing a savings plan or contrib-uting to a college fund. It means investing in the mind, body, character, and spirit of each of our children. So, when it was time for them to start school, we prayed fervently that we would nd a school that would share that philosophy. Our prayers were answered — we found POPCS. Because our family has a long legacy of giving, we didn’t want our investment to be one-sided. As POPCS invested in our children, we desired to give back and invest in the school.So why do we give to the EaglE Fund?We give to invest in the future of our children. Every gift to the fund goes toward projects that are innovative, strategic, and cut-ting-edge in the areas of facilities, curriculum and technology. We know that before POPCS begins any project, a team of dedicated and prudent nancial stewards undergoes strict due diligence analysis to ensure that a broad scope of students and faculty will benet. We are excited to think about what is possible with the support of our community!We give to build on the foundation laid by those who came before us. Long before we came here, generous donors selessly gave their time and money to create and build campus mainstays: the ne arts center, dining hall, baseball elds, concession stands and robotics center, to name a few. These major structural facilities serve as our school’s heartbeat — providing opportunities for our students (and families) to gather, learn, grow and make lasting memories. We feel strongly that we owe it to these pioneering families to contin-ue what they started. We give to secure the future legacy and rep-utation of our school. Our time at POPCS is lim-ited, but the future of POPCS is not. We want our children, and the thousands who will attend after we are gone, to enjoy the exemplary Chris-tian education provided by POPCS. We want this school, which we love and revere so much, to continue to serve as a leader in Christian educa-tion. We want our children to be proud of where they came from, and we want the POPCS name on our children’s resumes to be valued by higher learning institutions and future employers when they make their way in the world.Of the organizations we support nancially, POPCS is one of our most cherished. We adore this school. Each of our children is excelling in their classrooms in completely different ways. Even at their young ages, we see just how much POPCS is cultivating their individual skill sets and developing their strengths. Every day, our children witness how their teachers exemplify the love of Jesus. In turn, our children know that Jesus lives in their hearts, and His love is an ex-ample of how they are called to love others. So we give to invest in our children. We give to honor those who came before us. We give to invest in the children who will attend here well into the future. Perhaps one of these reasons for giving strikes home with you or maybe you have your own reasons for giving. Whatever they are, we hope you will join us on our journey. What an opportunity we have before us! By Taryn and Adam Spence

Dolores Lehmann was born on No-vember 14, 1928 in Oak Park, Illi-nois, the daughter of Dorothy and Elmer Schumacher. Dolores received a BA de-gree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin in January 1951. Dolores married Elroy Lehmann in Elm Grove, Wisconsin on September 8, 1951. Early in their marriage, Dolores dis-covered two things she cherished almost as much as her family – art and foreign cultures. In 1958, El-roy’s Fulbright Professorship at the University of Karachi in Pakistan was the start of their life-long exploration and dis-covery of foreign people and their cultures. Residences in Lib-ya, Egypt and Argentina followed from 1959 to 1990. During these years, Dolores accumulated a large collection of ethnic materials, especially that of the Bedouin women of the Sahara. In Karachi, Dolores also discovered she loved teaching. In 1965, while she and Elroy were in Dallas for an assign-ment for Mobil Oil, Dolores took advantage of the oppor-tunity to get her BA and MA in Education. A Department of Education Fellowship during her Masters studies at SMU prepared her to work in special education for students with learning differences, which she did in high schools in Richardson, Texas, Chappaqua, New York and Cairo, Egypt. Dolores and Elroy returned to Dallas where Elroy re-tired in 1985. In Dallas, Dolores was able to pursue her in-terest and artistic abilities in creative precious-metal work. In her home studio, Dolores designed and made a wide variety of art objects which were shown and sold at art shows throughout the U.S. until 2005, when poor health required Dolores to stop traveling. During the early 1980s, Dolores co-founded the Inter-national Women’s Club of Dallas. While living in Dallas, she was an active member of the Dallas Geological & Geophys-ical Women’s Auxiliary and the Garden Club. Her interest in community was evidenced by her membership in the Bentwood Republican Women’s Club of Dallas of which she was President for several years. During this time, Dolores and Elroy were active members of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and supported POPCS. She especially enjoyed car-ing for the large assortment of potted plants throughout the church as well as being involved in the POP Care Ministry to local and international communities.Dolores died on May 7, 2013, and is survived by her hus-band Elroy.SUMMARY OF FUNDRAISING BY SOURCESEAGLE FUNDAUCTIONENDOWMENTOTHER DESIGNATED GIFTSTOTAL2017-2018$1,033,903$36,249$41,049$57,500$1,168,7012016-2017$852,089$100,645$17,870$1,075$971,679POPCS ENDOWMENTFISCAL YEAR ENDMAY 31, 2018 $992,674MAY 31, 2017 $943,873MAY 31, 2016 $897,647MAY 31, 2015 $829,867*MAY 31, 2014 $786,524*For the ten months ending May 31, 2015*During 2018, the Endowment reached $1,000,000 for the rst time!The Dolores Lehmann Endowment was established by Elroy Lehmann in loving memory of his wife, Dolores.

To learn more about designing a planned gift or to speak with someone about establishing your own endowment fund or contributing to an existing endowment, contact Patrick Carlove at patrick.carlove@popcs.org or 972.598.1108.INTERESTED IN STARTING AN ENDOWMENT?Endowment funds can be a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding for POPCS. Endowment assets are invested, and each year a portion of the fund value is paid out to support the fund’s purpose. Any earnings in excess of this distribution are used to build the fund’s market value, giving funds the chance to grow and provide support in perpetuity.Endowments provide an excellent way to leave a legacy at POPCS. When you establish an endowment fund at POPCS, it can be named for yourself, your family, a friend or a favorite teacher. You can also contribute to one of the endowments that already exists. Either way, your options are virtually limitless and most importantly, they provide lasting care for POPCS students, teachers, programs and facilities. The following have included POPCS in their estate plan:Sherri and Todd Bloom | Kara and Patrick Carlove | Monica and Les PritchettAs part of the school’s strategic plan, the Legacy Society has been reconstituted and is now comprised of individuals dedicated to the POPCS mission and our long-term success, who set up planned gis for the benet of our students, teachers and pro-grams. It also includes those who wish to contribute to endowment to continue their annual support aer their lifetime. e Leg-acy Society is open to all individuals who have named POPCS in their long-term plans or created an endowment for the school’s benet.Benets of planned giving:• It may cost nothing today and still help the school’s future strength and prosperity. • It includes an assortment of arrangements such as naming POPCS as a beneciary of a donor’s will or living trust, retirement plan (401(k), 403(b), IRA, etc.) or life insurance policy.• It can provide a variety of benets, including lifetime income, capital gains tax savings and income tax deductibility. • You can designate a gift for a particular purpose that is important to you, or allow POPCS to use the gift where the need is greatest at the time it matures. • You can donate a set amount, a percentage or a remaining balance to benet our mission.• Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime, and you can modify your gift at any time. Leaving a LegacyPossible purposes for which an endowment may be established include, but are not limited to:Tuition Assistance Faculty Support Operations Program EnhancementPLANNED GIVINGnamed endowments: The Delores Anthony Endowment |The Dolores Lehmann Endowment | The Matthew and Bradley Ott EndowmentWe are extremely grateful to our benevolent community for establishing endowments that support our educational mission in perpetuity.
