7-1-10 - We want to thank the Bama Fund of the Dave Matthews Band for their contribution of $6100 to Field School's Scholarship Fund. Their generosity to a variety of local non-profits and schools is really extraordinary and we are very grateful to continue to receive their support.
6-6-10 - Congratulation to the nine graduates in the Class of 2010. We had a nice ceremony Saturday night attended by friends, family, and other Field School students. We are all looking forward to all of them being excellent ambassadors for their alma mater in high school. They will be attending Albemarle High School (1), Western Albemarle High School (2), Miller School (2), Monticello High School (2), and Tandem Friends School (1). Good luck to all of you and we will see you in August. The first day of school is August 30th.
5-17-10 - To see this year's Mother-Son photos, go to www.mermont.typepad.com/makinguse/field_school/.
4-30-10 - We are grateful to Chris Hoy for arranging a field trip today to visit the ongoing construction at the U.Va. Medical Center, where we toured both the new Couric Medical Center and the Bed Tower Project.
4-25-10 - Many thanks to all those who supported our first Blue and Silver Dinner. Special thanks to Paulien and Gerard Brikkenaar Van Dijk for the music, to Patrick Critzer for preparing the dinner, and to Mary Ann Valente and Melissa Ragland for their leadership in its planning. We look forward to making this an annual fundraising event for our Building Fund.
4-12-10 - The
following is a narrative of our recent trip to Costa Rica with the
8th Grade. In
general, it went very well. I was especially proud of the boys who were
responsible and sociable throughout the trip. I know it was a
challenge for them, and they all certainly rose to the occasion. I
also appreciate all the support and patience of the other teachers. Jen
Wilson and Jay Fennell were our primary translators. Jay
took great care of all the boys' passports throughout the trip. Todd
Culver drove a van, and had the unenviable job of trying to keep up
with me through sometimes daunting urban traffic. Meredith
Montague, meanwhile, took a plethora of photos, some of which you can
see on her blog at www.mermont.typepad.com. We
spent the first few days in Heredia, a town in the Central Valley of the
country, a half hour or so from the airport and the capital of San Jose.
We stayed there in dorm rooms on the back side of a church. There
was a big field out back and, over it, a view into the neighborhoods
surrounding Heredia and of the mountains above the city. It
was a humble, camplike setting in some ways, right in the middle of a
city. The view of the city, however, was worth a million dollars.
Inside the gates of the church, the boys were free to throw frisbee
and we did so, particularly in a game of ultimate on our last day there.
While there we visited a local coffee plantation, and spent one
whole day hiking above the city into a rainforest surrounding Volcan
Barva. This was the beginning of an experience that occurred
throughout the trip--Mr. Culver's birdwatching. He keeps a list of
all the birds he's seen in his life, and he picked up about a hundred new
birds on this trip. I don't think anyone in the group was nearly as
aware of bird life until this trip. By the end, we were all noticing
them. Because of Todd, I was made newly aware of the vast
differences in our forests and those of the tropics. While there are
850 bird species in all of North America, there were 550 in the Braulio
Carillo forest we visited on the first day alone. The variety of
plant and animal life in the country was astonishing. With
little left to do in Heredia and growing confidence about our driving
skills, we changed our plans and decided to spend one night near Volcan
Arenal, the active volcano north of Heredia. We thus drove about
four hours into the countryside, past plantations of pineapples and
schools and little restaurants called sodas, up and down and around.
That night, we went to one of the hot springs--Baldi. It
was the cheapest and the least elaborate of the three we could go to, but
it was still a little like going to the Disneyland of hot springs. There
were probably 8 or 10 separate pools, each a little hotter or colder, and
one so hot that it was virtually scalding to your skin. Jay made the
mistake of jumping into that one, then coming out nearly as fast as he'd
gone in. The next day made for a big drive back down south (and
down in elevation) to the park and beach at Manuel Antonio. Up
to this point, it had not been very hot, but it was probably in the 90s on
the coast and very humid. It was probably just the fact that we were
all so used to milder temperatures, but the heat was stifling. We
walked through the park the following morning, which reminded me very much
of walking through a zoo. No kidding. We saw three types of
monkeys, two sloths, raccoons, a gigantic cricket. a big funky lizard and
a bunch of iguanas. Oh, and more birds, including a woodpecker,
which in Spanish is a "carpintero." We put on our
sunscreen before playing in the waves. The beach was along a very
narrow piece of land that connected to a bigger piece further out that had
once been an island. Thus, there were beaches practically back to
back. We played on one for about an hour, then moved over to the
other. The sun beat us down however, and everyone who wasn't wearing
a shirt left with a pink hue on their shoulders. We ate that night
in an airplane that the Nicaraguan Contras had purchased in the 80's
before abandoning it at the San Jose Airport. The restaurant owner
bought and transported it there in sections to build his restaurant around
it. The food, by the way, was excellent everywhere we went, from
roadside sodas to the hostel down the street in Manuel Antonio.
Later that night, Todd did a crab population lab on the beach with
the boys.
3 - 19-10 - We are fielding two lacrosse teams this spring. Our 5th and 6th Graders are playing in the Midgets division of the local Boys' Middle School Lacrosse League and our 7th and 8th Graders are playing in the Junior division. Ours is one of only four area independent schools to field a team in either division. We are looking forward to an exciting season which starts this weekend.

2-15-10 - Please consider joining us at Field School's Auditorium on Saturday, April 24th for our First Annual Blue and Silver Dinner, a fundraiser for our Building Fund. It will be an evening of great food and dancing with music by Paulien and catering by Patrick Critzer. For more information including, please contact us.
1-22-10 - In January, we added another student to our Sixth Grade class, meaning that we have reached a total of 50 students in our student body. Though we will not be full until we have 16 students in each of our four classes, we are excited to have reached this milestone.
1-20-10 - I am willing to bet that we now have the single best lunch program of any school in this area, one that began at Field School on a full-time schedule in January. Unlike the usual school lunch, this is one you would be eager to eat. It’s organic, local, healthy, and delicious. I want to thank our chef Patrick Critzer for his effort in making it all happen.
On Friday, January 15th, we hosted our 4th Annual
Speakers Series with Claudia and Joe Allen, authors of Escaping the Endless
Adolescence: How we can help our
teenagers to grow up before they grow old. Their
thesis is that adolescence is increasingly delayed in our society, an ironic
result of the increased time and resources that modern, well-intentioned
parents have to spend on their kids. As a result, teens are given
fewer responsibilities and they often feel their lives are less meaningful
Their advice was to give young people real responsibilities (arranging
appointments, making a meal, working a job, doing laundry, working out
issues at school, taking on household chores, and so forth).
They suggested installing an internal alarm and heeding it whenever
you find yourself doing something for your child that they should be doing
themselves, something that would help them to mature and that would
ultimately prove satisfying for them to accomplish.
Many in our community worked to help make the
evening possible. I want to particularly thank Lucette Colomes, Patrick
Critzer, Jay Fennell, Todd Culver, Mark Cohen, Becca Covert, Bill Covert and Lady Keller for their efforts.
1-10-10
- I am proud to announce that we will be taking our first annual Latin
American trip in April with our 8th
Grade. We are teaching Spanish
in 7th
and 8th
Grade and we want a culminating experience of our middle school to be a big
trip to a foreign country where our boys will have the opportunity to
practice their new language. It
will be the first annual trip to Costa
Rica
and we are excited that all our students will have this opportunity to look
forward to as part of their Field School education.
Four of our faculty—Todd
Barnett, Todd Culver, Jen Wilson and Jay Fennell—are
going as chaperones.

12-13-09 - Field School is, for the first time this year, fielding 4 basketball teams, one for each of grade. As of this writing, the school has a 4-3 record, having played 7 of our anticipated 36 games this season. Whew. Pictures of our teams should be posted soon.
12-04-09 - Congratulations to the Student Council who, with Ms. Wilson's help, created our first Talent Show last night. It featured about 10 acts including music, comedy, recitations, solo performances, and one rock band--Static Mind. Both the talent on stage and their skill in staging it were very impressive. The evening's emcee was Zach Cohen and the engineer was Alex Bowen.

10-30-09 - We have had several events recently for which we want to thank our participants and volunteers. Our Spirit Walk was an excellent first-time local event with crowds of walkers both nights. Beginning that Friday, we made 60 gallons of apple butter and have sold nearly all of it in quart and pint jars. Nearly every student and parent in our population helped, either by portraying a character or by peeling or stirring apples. It was a whole lot of fun and a good way to get a sense of this area's history. We look forward to the event's growth through the years.
Also, congratulations to the members of our cross-country team who took first place at a local middle school meet yesterday afternoon. They brought home a real trophy, meaning that we have to create trophy cabinet.
9-20-09 - We are looking forward to our upcoming Fall Fest here at Field School on October 23rd and 24th. It will feature two major events--the Crozet Spirit Walk and Apple Butter. The Spirit Walk will feature students and community actors playing roles from Crozet's past. We are hoping that many will attend the performance, played out on the streets of Crozet and here at Field School. You can buy tickets for the event at Mudhouse in Crozet. At school, you will see Field School boys involved in making apple butter the old-fashioned way in big copper kettles over a wood fire. We will be selling jars for $5 apiece. Please join us for this fun, family-friendly fall event.
9-5-09 - Many thanks to David Wayland and all those who joined us for our first day of school in our new building. David shared with us his memories of being a student here forty plus years ago, and shared his wisdom on being a boy. He told us that you can't fool mothers or teachers, that life isn't always fair, that sometimes you have to stand up for yourself, and that you will make lifelong friends here.
6-30-09 - Our full-time faculty
will feature two new faces in the fall—Jay Fennell and Jen
Wilson.
Jay is a longtime friend of Todd's and co-founded Field
Camp. After several years in the
appraisal industry, he has decided to return to teaching and will
be instructing the 5th
and 6th
Graders in Latin and the 7th
and 8th
Graders in Spanish. Jay has
taught at Free Union Country School and the Tuckahoe School.
He helped coach the Field School lacrosse team this season.
Jay and his wife Erika live in Free Union with their two boys, Lio
and Jed.
Jen Wilson, meanwhile,
grew up in Roanoke and attended William and Mary College as an
undergraduate. A recent M.T.
graduate of the Curry School, she spent the last year teaching English in
Chengdu, China. I met Jen last
summer when she ran the Field Camp Outdoor Leadership School, a role she
will take on again with Todd Culver this coming summer.
In the fall, she will teach English for all our boys in addition to
coaching.
We are very happy to be
able to add these two excellent teachers to our staff for next year.

6-2-09 - We are proud to announce that we will be moving to a new school building in 2009-2010. It is the building at 1408 Crozet Avenue, once home to the Crozet School (see photos below). We will be working to refurbish it over the summer--please let us know if you'd like to help.
5-11-09 - We need to thank a number of people for their visits and support recently. Leise Hook visited to teach all the boys Chinese brush painting recently in conjunction with our current Asia unit and it was a great class. Three members of the U.Va. lacrosse team including George Huguely visited last month to help our boys with a practice. We appreciated all the moms visiting and helping with the service projects in the Park on Mother's Visiting Day. We have been enjoying the excellent instruction of Dean Hocking who has been teaching martial arts during the Asia unit. And thanks to, well, our federal government, whose completely free D.C. attractions (the National Zoo, the Supreme Court and the Capitol) made for a great, cost-effective recent all-school field trip--our 13th of this year with 2 yet to come.
Also, please join us for two upcoming events. Our 3rd Annual Music Benefit and Auction will be Friday, May 29th at Fry's Spring Beach Club at 6 p.m. It will feature a lot of familiar faces at Field School, including Jim Waive and the Young Divorcees, Ned Oldham, Darrell Rose, Greg Brown, Pete Vigour, Paulien and Gerard Brikkenaar Van Dijk, Sam Wilson, and the Field School Boys. Tickets are $10 and kids are welcome.
Also, Field School is proud to be co-sponsoring an evening with wildlife photographer Tom Mangelsen, Wednesday, June 10th at the Paramount Theater. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased through the Paramount.
5-1-09 - We are proud to announce that Jay Fennell will be joining our staff next year as our Latin/Spanish teacher. Jay is a co-founder of Field Camp and has taught Spanish and served as the Director of Development at Free Union Country School. A graduate of Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, he has been helping coach our lacrosse team this spring and we are excited to have him as a part of our faculty.
3-22-09 - We appreciated the visit from Stephen Hickman on Friday. Many thanks to the Virginia Festival of the Book for their help in arranging the visit. He showed us his work and made suggestions to our boys about good books and how to pursue their interests in drawing and art. You can see his work at www.stephenhickman.com.
3-16-09 - Congratulations to Coach Culver and our lacrosse team this weekend on their first win. We are playing games this year for the first time, and most of our boys have never played the game. Our first three games in a weekend tournament were lopsided losses, but we made improvements in the various elements of the game in each, and Sunday, we pulled off an overtime 4-3 victory. Go Falcons!
3-9-09 - Thanks to everyone who came out Friday to celebrate the marriage of Todd Barnett and Meredith Montague. They appreciate all the kindness and are very happy to be the newest "family" in the Field School community. Meredith has also been our photography teacher in our current art unit, and you can see some of the things the boys did during the unit on her blog at mermont.typepad.com (no "www").
2-25-09 - This year will be our last at Claudius Crozet Park as we move into new facilities at the Old Crozet School in September, 2009. We visited recently and made some photos of the wonderful old building. Over the summer, we will do renovations and start classes in the older part of the building. It is a great old historic building, and with a little sanding and paint, we think it will be beautiful for the start of classes. If you want to help out, we will be spending Saturdays working there in the summer as well as the week prior to school--August 26 through 31, 2009. Come help us restore its luster.

2-14-09 - We just finished our Civil War unit with several highlights for the boys. In mid-January, Todd Culver arranged a field trip to the Port Republic battlefield, after which we headed to Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton. Buried there in a mass grave atop the hill are 877 soldiers from the battle, as well as 700 soldiers from other Valley battles. On a cold, windy day, the boys filled out a science lab data sheet that helped us to understand the way in which different types of headstones had weathered and how dramatically the war affected the the age and sex distribution of the population of the South. The following week, men from the 19th Virginia Civil War Re-Enactors visited us to teach about the lives of the soldiers. Many thanks to Butch Pugh and Andrea Wilson for arranging the event. Our last event was a series of Civil War Games at school, including a cannon challenge, singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic," foraging, trivia, a map game, marching, and photography re-enactment. Many thanks to Meredith Montague, Michael Santulli, Ralph Geilker, Jamie Mathews and Jim Duncan for helping out at the games.
1-16-09 - Thanks to everyone who attended or helped last night with our Nick Nichols event at PVCC. We had a sellout crowd for his fine presentation on elephants he had photographed a year ago in Kenya's Samburu National Forest. Thanks to Woodberry Forest School, Martin-Horn Inc., Field Camp, Anne Weems Kitchens, Stephanie Satterly, Lady Keller, Shirlee Grody, Meredith Montague, Becca and Bill Covert, Cynthia McCoy, Mary Thompson, Joyce McKenney, John Piller and all our boys for their support.

12-22-08 - Thanks to all the residents at the Laurels for hosting our choir last Thursday. We enjoyed having the opportunity to sing there and their gracious support. Many thanks also to Ralph Geilker for putting together the first of three admissions videos on the school and to Sam Vigour for supplying the music. You can see those on the Admissions page.
12-13-08 - Congratulations to the 5th Grade Basketball Team on their victory Saturday by a score of 27-10. Our next game is after the holiday break on Saturday, January 10th.
12-12-08 - Many thanks to Ed Rosenstein and all the residents at Jefferson Heights for hosting our choir on Thursday. We had a great time and appreciate the gracious audience.
11-21-08 - Congratulations to the Blue Team on their 1-0 win in the first-ever Blue-Silver Game on Friday.
11-8-08 - We had excellent turnout for out second annual Fathers' Day. We spent the afternoon engaged in several service projects, including building a brick pad for our field stairs, clearing a trail, picking up trash along the road and around the pond, and painting the fence. Our fifth graders planted the annual tree-this year a birch tree. The day ended with two games of touch football and one game of soccer. Thanks to everyone who came out and participated and especially to Stephanie Satterly for the lunch.

11-1-08 - It was a busy October and it has passed quite quickly. We spent one full day of it helping the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival set up in the Park on October 10th. Other highlights included our first ever non-loss in soccer (a 2-2 tie against a much older Oakland squad), the start of our sculpture unit in art with Luke Thelen, and two geology field trips that tied in with our current unit in science. The first was an afternoon at Grand Caverns in Grottoes and the second was a visit to the Morefield Gem Mine in Amelia County. On Tuesday of this coming week, we are hosting an Open House during school and Friday is Father's Day. If you are interested in learning more about the school, please join us on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
10-10-08 - We had a field trip Friday afternoon to Old Trail's Town Center with Justin Beights. The Center is under construction, and so our boys donned helmets of various kinds (bike, skateboard, snowboard, even lacrosse) and toured the building. As we toured, we watched craned load in drywall, so it was an excellent time to see the "guts" of the building--electrical, HVAC, sprinkler system, plumbing, and so forth. It was an excellent end to our architecture unit and we appreciate Justin making the time to show us around.
10-8-08 - We appreciated having Mike Taboney visit this week to make his presentation on global warming.
9-25-08 - Many thanks to John Brouse of LPDA for joining us yesterday to talk about his work as a landscape architect. It was an excellent presentation that complemented our current unit on architecture.
9-24-08 - Our second year—2008-2009—began on Tuesday, September 2nd when 3 classes—5th, 6th, and 7th—of 30 boys converged to once again take up the responsibilities of being a Field School student. All the families were on hand for a morning ceremony and Q&A with Todd Barnett, Head of School. Peter Weems gave our invocation, and our speaker was Field School Board member and Charlottesville attorney Walker Richmond. Walker suggested the boys think about four “F’s” as they start the year (and hopefully get them completely out of the way)—Family, Friends, Fresh start, and Fresh books. We appreciate having Walker join us and share his wisdom with us on our first day.
We
are happy to have Todd Culver as our new science teacher. He
is a naturalist with a fascinating variety of teaching and science
consulting experiences over the past 25 years. He has taught at all
levels from middle school to college, including classes in Biology and Field
Ornithology at Mary Baldwin College. He has a B.A. from Cornell in
Natural Resources and an MS in Science Education from SUNY Cortland.
He has also been an eager hand at Field School, installing our new water
fountain, and getting the thumbs up from our veteran students as a “good
teacher.” We enjoyed his lessons on geology on our recent hiking
trip at Old Rag. We are looking forward to his enthusiastic and
engaging classes in Science.
On
September 9th,
Field School had business before the Albemarle
County Planning Commission—renewing
our Special Use Permit to use the Crozet
Park Building for
our school. It was, fortunately,
a very smooth and easy process and it was nice to hear that the
commissioners had heard we were an asset to the Park. We will go
before the County’s Board of Supervisors next month for the final
approval. Thanks to Robbie
Maupin of
the Park Board for being there to speak on our behalf.
Many
thanks are due to all those who helped us during our Volunteer Work Week
prior to the start of school. They
include Mary
Thompson, Andrea Wilson, Jack
Wilson, Michael Vance, Joyce and Greg McKenney, David Rekosh, Anne and Peter
Weems, Stephanie Satterly, Lisa Harvey, Jenefer Brouse, Becca Covert, Chris
Bowen, Ken Colomes, Gerard Brikkenaar van Dijk, Fred Miller,
and many of the Field
School boys.
Thanks
to
Jacqui Cohen who
is helping to procure library
books
for us during each of our units. She
has supplied us with a box full of architecture
texts
for first unit, ones that are being tapped by the boys during our weekly
reading period.
We are happy to have a group of University of Virginia students back this fall to tutor during study halls in the afternoon and help us with sports. Last year, Elijah Kirsch headed up this effort through Madison House, and he is back again this year. Elijah is a third year student from Richmond, and he is joined by Jordan Davis, a 2nd year biology major from Richmond, Travis Tiffany, a 2nd year pre-med major from Cincinnati, Caroline Newman, a1st year student from Birmingham with interests in English and politics, Laura Stockey, a 4th year education student from Fort Worth, Texas, Shane Gallagher, a 2nd year from Northern Virginia, and Drew Spicer, a 2nd year economics major from Richmond.
9-18
- 08 - Many thanks to the Charlottesville Chamber Orchestra Festival
and Karen Ransom for inviting us to yesterday's excellent performance at
PVCC, featuring Raph Bell and Tim Sommers.
