I get asked all the time, genera lly from friends and family back

east, w ha t I think of A rizona now that w e 've lived here for a

couple years. The tru th is tha t I rea lly wasn t sure w ha t I was

going to fina wnen w e moved, as; I’d never been to A 'izon a

before.

I gfcess I was fa ii% confident ike ff I’d love the climate, and it

d idn 't surprise me th a t the Tsndfs.capetS and sunsets were so

b e au tify . Certainty, the ab ility to spend so much time outdoors

had obvious appeal.

But w hat really sets Arizona; a p a rt lo t rwais the pecp.e--spe-

cifically, the diversity of experience a n d perspective tha t I see

every day. That many o f us some from: so many d iffe rent

cultures and walks -pf life makes liv ing here profoundly mean*

Wgfol, and always inferestlBS-

And it ’s aosoiote ly the case at PCDS. The uniqueness o f each

of our students is simply extraordinary. There’s nothing cook-

ie-cutter abou t those w h o walk the stage as seniors a n d g ra d ­

uate out into the world. They're alt smart and all determ ined

and all caring—b u t each in his or her © rn way.

I wish you, the Class of 2013, the best of fortunes as you em­

brace and ce lebra te the challenges and opportunities of your

new adventures. M a y you all eoffiftinue to explore your own

differences, and seek out the differences in others.

This year has been one of incredible moments andTih'spirafioff, As I

reflect back, I realize that our delightful hummingbirds have become'

an integral part of our Lower School community. When w e stop to

notice the hummingbirds, outside o f the classrooms; and throughout

the garden, we see the beauty and the wonder that a single mo­

ment can hold; These brave little birds remind liS tha t size js net a

measure of courage, and they em power us to take risks and follow

our curiosities; They teach us to savor Out interactions w ith each oth­

er as they are fleeting, and most of all, they remind us to slow down

so that we notice the joy that life offers to ys each and every day.

I am grateful to the extraordinary teachers and students who have

embraced and guarded these moments; t believe these interactions

embody the philosophy of our Lower School, one in which w e value

the education of the whole child, and I am so’ proud to be a part of

this wonderful community.

Teachers’ Farewell M essages

To the classics 2C83...I wish you all the best as you move on

to bigger things! I can't thank you all enough for the friend­

ships and smfes you have brought to me over the years, To t

of you that were around PCDS in the lower school.,..! I

have you to thank for being the pioneers of the fourth grade

video production world! iM ovie made its first appearance :

in the lab that year, and you produced the inaugural docu-1

fjientaries aboitF Canyon de Chelly. I can honestly say, a f te r !

viewing 100's r f videos about Northern Arizona since that 1

year yours were definitely. the first!!!! Peace and harmony

Congratulations, Seniors! It seems like it was just yesterday

thgt we w©b» watching you perform in the Lower School Swim

Exhibition and Track and field day events. We wish you the ‘

best in you: college careers and hope you will visit us soon!

- Mrs. Etheridge & M r. Majeski:

Dear Seniors,

As I sit and ponder the history surrounding your class in fourth

grade, I wonder, as I am sure wit i f us have, where the time:

has gone. It seems like only yesterday we were in the orig­

inal ..ower School buildings w ith the famed “round building"

planning our trip to Canyon de Chelly. W ith improvements On

campus, I have missed seeing you pass by your old classrooms

pn your way to and from the dining hall. And now, suddenly,

you are on your way to b igger and better things.

I feel privileged to have been a part of your growing years

W hether you were new to PCDS in fourth grade or a “ lifer"

adjusting to the increased academic requirements, you per­

severed and did w hat needed to be done to meet w ith suc­

cess. I remember some of you who were quiet but left your

mark w ith your sparkling personalities. You worked to take

leadership rales in small groups o r partnerships to achieve set

goals and had sensitivity and compqssion towards others on

the playground and in the classroom, particularly speeches,

like, “How to M ake a Bulletin Board," and long term projects

where you impersonated famous people such as Susan B. An-

<fFij©ny that displayed your creativity and your desire to give it

your all stand out. And now, you are assuming the leadership

roles among your peers.

It has been a pleasure to work w ith you, to see and hear

of your growth academically, socially, and emotionally, and

to be asked to take part in this, one of the last mementos of

your life at PCDS. I wish you Well in your future encounters,

whatever they may be.

Best regards,

Mrs. Stiles

After graduating from kinger-garden

last year, these first graders took their

"gardening" skills to a new level this

year. They built and maintained their

own garden with fruits, vegetables,

and flowers. Hard work, gentle care,

and a whole lot of watering led to a

beautiful garden that the first graders

and the rest of the low er school got

to enjoy while at recess. They also

appreciate the variety of tastes from

their harvest.

We often spec< of rhere being no PCDS box’ 1 or type tha t our

M id d le School students have to fit into. We hlgh'y value and en*

courage difference in all tha t w e do and who w e are /in each of1 .our

students. “Be yourself and do your Individual best” is the message

sent to our students in the M id d le School. The result is a community

rich in independent thinkingjAinique, young peop le prepared for the

next step in their education and their lives.

As the class of 2017 moves on to the next level of their education,

we know they will continue this trek toward being the thoughtful

and discerning individuals w e have nurtured through their M id d le

School years.

memories of your 8th grade year, such as my talks with my

wonderful advisees, India, M aric lare , G arron, Natasha,

Fall of your 6th grade year: I remember sitting in a parking

lot in Blythe, California, waiting for a second bus to arrive.

We ate, w e had a dance-off, w e waited, w e ate more, we

sat in Jack in the Box. Finally, the second half of the class

appeared, climbing off the bus through a tunnel of classmates

cheering and clapping. I like to remember your class a t just

that moment, welcoming each other back to the fold. Know

that whenever you return to PCDS, there may not be a tunnel

of us there to meet you, but w e will welcome you back info the

fold just the same, cheering and applauding your accomplish­

ments. Congratulations and good luck!

W hat a show! M irac le in M udville was a wonder­

ful production held by the middle school students

of Phoenix Country Day. This p lay portrayed the

lives of two simple youngsters in the town of M u d ­

ville; an average town, w ith average people, and

an average environment. A fte r a re-occurrence of

a deceased librarian, they tw isf time to go back

and see their parents as kids where they discov­

er the truth behind all of their parents’ stories. I

would describe this p lay as simple yet complete.

No t many props were used, and the stage set

was just sufficient to complete the play and to set

the scene. The amazing actors, who set a picture

in our minds of the average town, also show the

kind of people that lived there. It was by far the

best middle school production 1 have ever seen,

these actors clearly practiced a lot and dedicat­

ed a chunk of their free time into memorizing their

lines and learning how to move about the stage.

There wasn’t a single slip-up and they obviously

knew w hat they were doing and how to run the

show. I was honestly amazed by this production

and it made me hungry for more of the p lay once

I learned it was over. I would definitely go see

this p lay again, and I hope these students put on

another production. Hands down 2 thumbs up!

W ritten by Pejmon Noghrehchi

104 Play

Page 106: PCDS Yearbook 2013

On a scale of “Strike Out" to “Grand Slam , I would give A Mir

acle In Mudville a “Home Run . The actors emitted an aura of

happiness and the unmistakable energy of a PCDS student. Each

actor Commits to his ar her role, and makes the play a huge suc­

cess, enjoyable by any generation from: Student to grandparent.

Ashcon Partovi, who plays the character of Casey Banks, dots a

phenomenal job of portraying the, Struggles of a child attempting

to live up fb to parents expectations. Along this journey he finds

Out that his father, played by Luca Walsh, has reasons lor being

the way he is. Towards the end of the play, Casey has an epiph­

any that, in fact, he wants nothing more than to be like his father.

Ashley'© /% who plqys liabile, doese m a p ic e n t fob of « n g

exaggerated motions to add q certain amount of excitement to her

character. Director Andrea Deiker does a ;antastic job of fielding

a delightfU 'osier of players,-and isaaeta f Ihem ratrncf the ifaoses.

So go grab your peanuts and ball caps and sit down on the

bench to watch this wonderful play unfold- it s a smash fe !

As pa rt of my job, I get the opportunity to talk about PCDS w ith

perspective parents and students—a lot. O ften the question arises;

“W hat makes PCDS different?" O f course there a thousand easily

identifiab le traits tha t set this school ap a rt from the rest, but I find

myself coming back to a single idea: PCDS cultivates and celebrates

the ind iv idual We as a school are not trying to create a community

of like-minded students w ith the same values, assets, or wardrobes.

Instead, we see each student as having a singular voice, and our

job is to g ive that voice c la rity, strength, and confidence. In the end,

I take great satisfaction tha t this chorus of individual voices inevita­

b ly finds a harmonious blend as students walk across the gradua­

tion stage in June.

Congratula tions to all and to»the Ciass o* 2013 in particular.

I am so proud of the way you have "done’’ school. Your hearts are full, your ta lent is undeniable,;

and yotir futures are w ide open. Know ‘ ha: you are always welcome: tayretHtn and use PCDS*as

your touchstone...it w ilhhelp remind you are about who,;you were', where you came from and where

you can go! .

- Ms. Treadway

M y first PCDS chapter is closing. M ost of yo ^w e re in 8 th g rade when I arrived. M y first introduction

- chaperoning Catalina and the LAX officer tha t returned Brea n a s purse. Then high school decisions

- some eleventh hour, ahem, Sylvester. The rest of you app lied fo r 9 th grade. We met over aw kward

shadow days. We survived freshman trip - even road rash frpm running, rather sliding, to' r-ieip Sten-

son. You're fop class I know best,d'ye watched you gain confidence, kindness and more. M y wish

for you - fdllow your dreams, keep learning and growing and live a life to be proud of. M y wish for

me - to hear about everything that happens beyond Pur quad.

. •• Ms. N e f iH

M r, G uthrie:

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the do o r where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I .must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it w ith eager feet,

Until it joins some la rger w a /

W here many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say

-JRR Tolkien

M y favorite student activities (in no particular order) have always been jazz, drama, and sports,

and the class of 2013 has given us all many memorable moments as leaders in all these venues. I

thank you for the pleasure of watching you all d isplay your particular talents.

- Colonel Coon

I will remember the class of 2013 for many things, but w hat stands out is the creativity tha t flowed

through its collective veins, whether designing amazing Halloween costumes, w riting heart-wrench­

ing poetry, draw ing profoundly inspiring a rt works, dazzling the community on the stage, o r soloing

in the smoky Jazz Cafe.

I have many, many mernqrtes o f this. laving class, but I have two words that realfy stand Out..,Joshua Tree. I loved this trip,

and I am probably ‘one of only 'three @r four people who

did. So mafry iun ctftd ‘funny memories Came from tbS; week in the desert heat of California. The “Tong hike", bpuldering,

underground sea, rodfc climbing, A e p ir tg under a t a p {not

a tent), infinite stars, dehydration, injuries, no running water, toilets, soap.Jife was simpie and g©odl "feu all studc it out {no

pun intended, Garron) qnd 'worked q£ a team. I wss so proud

sqf everyone. The goal was to learn Now ta leave your comfort

zone, and you all did ft w ith @ sense of empowerment! Now,

off you go again, new adventures, new sticking points, and

new challenges to climb up and over. G o o d luck to each of

you, leave your comfort zones and discover a life filled w ith

passion!- Ms. M cKean

The past 4 years have flown by. It just seems Iffee yesterday

we were all Pt Catalina Island; I can still hear the complaints

about the cold water. Eight of you helped this year's group

of 8th graders through their trip. M any of you were also ffl my rocketry/snorkeling electives trying to b low up rockets out

instead just’ losing them in the desert. I seem to remember a small fire or two we had to put out. A couple of you went on

one of my sailing trips. They were wonderful, such fun sailing

and exploring the Apostle Islands. G ood luck in college.- M r. Crabb

Page 257: PCDS Yearbook 2013

As four long years of yearbook draw to a ciose, |am left to reflect pn the people, the process and the products w e have produced.I have had rpy share of-late nights, last-minulp phbh l shoots and hwh.dreds of hours in front of d computer screen. Even though each

year begins w ith a familiar challenge—to create a book that the communify will chensfofor a lifetime, the tasks that fill the coming

months are quite daunting—hundreds of pages to design.

Like, many artists^ i see this, blank canvas as an inviting expanse an oppcrtun ty to experiment w ith creativity. Designing a yearbook

is a difficult task that includes bringing together the improbable qualities of creativity and timelineSs;|My creativity contends with

rigid guidelines and a strict deadline^,AAy creative side wants to let layout ideas come1 through raw inspiration, while my practical

sense needs the pages done by Friday. These past four years I have learned to balance creativity w ith the discipline of punctuality.

I hope this year's edition contains the perfect balance of a rt a n d y fility ^a yearbook that is beautiful, yet still fulfills its purpose of

providing a snapshot of the 2012-2013 school years,for generations id come.

I have worked with four d iffe rent yearbook staffs. Eacn One has been distinctly different, w ith its o\yn character and vibe. The

Editor-in^Chief has to work w ith arid within the personality of the'team as 0 whoiek<eep:ng everyone organized and on Track. M ost

often, it is both exasperating and exhiiaratihg.-with lifefong memories created along the way,-from the spirited Emily M orazan , to trie fashio.n-d va Shannon M aniey. to the dedicated lauren Cha~en. f be ievc I have truly seen if d ll.ln Addition, when next August

comes o founcH am cUrious to see w hat m y-'label as-an*Editor-in-Chief will be!

I would like to extend thanks tdm y wpnderTuWe.afbook staff. This yearbook is an expression of their dedication. I am truly thankful

for the am czing'y diverse collection of personalities and talents I have encountered this year. A Special thanks tovisy e M oney for

his enthusiasm, zeal, and immense,commitment. M/e could not have produced this yearbook w ithout him. Next yea r as he takes the

reins, I am confident that jr e will create an outstanding, yearbodk filled, with; humjor and beautiful people. !: has been ’ a pleasure

to go throughdhis arduous process w ith all of yo tt'-a process that includes creativity, focus, humor, loss of sleep, encounters w ith

Paradise Valley Police, take-6ut food arid the giddiness tha t comes y*?Th late night deadline a unches.

As a reader of this beak,C hape :yo'„ ettjpy and cherish tljgi memories CQntained Within for many years to come. Please find time

to appreciate all me^hard worK'^vested In this yea rbo ok Each staff member brsSght his or her own talents and creativity to th e

protect. The bqck wcs a b a ted 'By a team of unique indiwdualss A quote by Sam HcsKiris perfectly describes the feelings of any designer:

‘ A photographer w e fttdo a,socia lite-party in New YorK. As he.entered the fron t door, the host said, 1 fo y ® ’y o U r fo ic J iu f© s s th © y 're *w Q r id e r fu l; ;’-yo u m u s t have a fantastic camera.’ He said nothing until dinner was

finished, the® 'That' was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.'"

As if4s wfth any Creative proces'sVil starts with the folents and gifts of individuals, w ith each person adding bis o r her own personal

touch. Joq ls may make a job easier, but it is'the artist who makes a difference.

Celebrate the artists you encounter jn your life. If you;do, I believe two lives w ill.be enriched.

With these last t/vords, my joym eybere at Phoenix Country Day School comes to a close. I would like to thank the school and the

entire PCDS community for making the last 14 years absolutely amazing. As I now must say my official “goodbye," I do so with the hope that our friendships w ilijas t our whole lives through. Thank you.

Sincerely,
