Dear Winter Ball Guests – I take great pleasure in welcoming you to the 47th annual Winter Ball at Stratton Mountain School! Thank you for joining us for a wonderful evening of dining, dancing and bidding, all in support of the SMS Scholarship Program. Last year, the Dreams of Gold Winter Ball raised more than $100,000 in support of scholarships, which greatly benefitted the more than 40% of our families who receive financial aid. Your support of the Winter Ball is vital to our ongoing commitment to our talented student athletes and their dreams.

2014 was a banner year for the SMS community! Twelve SMS alumni participated in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, bringing the total number of SMS Olympians to 42! I’m sure you agree that this is a record to be extremely proud of – and we are! In February, 2014, we watched with tremendous pride as our athletes competed on the world’s stage, at the very highest levels of their sports.

Our student athletes continue to balance the rigorous demands of academic, as well as athletic, excellence. Many members of the Class of 2015 have already been offered admission to top colleges and universities, including Dartmouth College, Harvard College, The New School, New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Penn State University, and University of Vermont Honors College. They join a proud group of alumni who are now attending Boston College, Middlebury College, Williams College, and many others. Our alumni go on to great success in their professions, with their SMS experience an important foundation.

You are a valued member of the SMS community, and I know you share in our pride in these achievements. Thank you for attending the Winter Ball and for your continued support of the mission and goals of SMS and its talented student athletes. I wish you a most enjoyable evening!

Sincerely,

Christopher G. Kaltsas Headmaster

Stratton Mountain School provides a unique environment that offers each student the opportunity to pursue excellence in

Campus completes two capital projectsDuring the crisp Vermont fall days this year, the beautiful buildings of our New England style campus were complimented by two new buildings that have now completed the third phase of the SMS campus plan begun in 1999. The Patti Kaltsas Education, Arts & Student Center and the Air Awareness Center are the culmination of several years of planning and fund-raising, and will now provide our student athletes with the next level of state-of-the-art facilities. Together, they greatly enhance the SMS curriculum and overall SMS experience.

The Patti Kaltsas Education, Arts & Student Center is a fabulous 12,000 square-foot building that includes a 225-seat auditorium, five classrooms, a student center with kitchen, an art gallery, an art studio space, a yoga/dance studio, a school store and a billiards/game room - all with many features conducive to a superb educational experience in our

technological, multi-media world. The PK Center was conceived with many purposes: to bring the students together in their own special space, to provide needed classrooms to the campus, and to add public spaces that will be available to the greater community as well as for the school’s own use.

The Patti Kaltsas Education, Arts & Student Center is named for the late

wife of SMS Headmaster, Christopher Kaltsas. Patti was a loyal supporter of Stratton Mountain School and was beloved by the students. She was an artist and designer who gave generously of her talents and who was essential in establishing the vision of the new campus.

“Patti was devoted to the students of SMS, and this new space speaks to that dedication to students and the arts,” Mr. Kaltsas said.

“This fall, we began offering an art progression in our curriculum that allows students to learn and develop fundamental principles of visual art, with the option of moving on to more complex technique and instruction.”

In addition to Jenna Daly’s visual arts classes, SMS is now able to offer classes in the history of film and video production, under the tutelage of Lyman Richardson and Chase

Marston. These three new staff are helping to develop the art curriculum.

“Since we moved to the new campus in 1999, we have built classrooms, laboratories, training facilities, dormitories and staff housing,” Mr. Kaltsas said. “Until now, we have not had a place where we can all come together ‘as a team,’ or invite the local community to share our campus. The Patti Kaltsas Center gives us that place.”

The Air Awareness Center provides a safe and effective learning environment for the SMS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski programs. With 10,000 square feet, it features ramps, trampolines, foam pits and a skate park – all to enhance the athletic programs of all seasons.

Weight and cardio spaces will also be provided for the benefit of the athletic programs.

Headmaster Kaltsas believes that the Air Awareness Center will solidify

The Patti Kaltsas Education, Arts & Student Center.

“Until now, we haven’t had a place where we can all come together as a ‘team’... The Patti Kaltsas bulding gives us that place.”

- SMS Headmaster Chris Kaltsas

SMS’s position as the top academy in the country for Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski student athletes.

“This project reflects the need for a commitment to training and safety,” he said. “This Center will help give our athletes a safe environment to develop their skills and will enhance the overall program.”

Both Andy Newell ‘02 (U.S. Ski Team member, SMS T2 member and three-time Olympian) and Ross Powers ’97 (Snowboard Program Director and two-time Olympian Gold & Bronze medals winner) agree that the Air Awareness Center is a tremendous benefit for SMS.

Andy Newell has made SMS his home training ground ever since he graduated. “My National Team coaches are totally comfortable with me training out of SMS,” he said. “To see the SMS campus grow over the past 20 years has been amazing. Now, with the addition of the Air Awareness Center and the PK Student Center, it is one of the most advanced and well-rounded training centers in the country.”

“Stratton Mountain School has the premier snowboard academy program in the country,” Ross Powers said. “With this state-of-the-art Air Awareness Center, SMS athletes will be able to train year-round in a safe environment to hone their skills in the park and pipe.”

Newell adds, “There are so many U.S. Ski Team members, who are SMS alumni like myself, who are proud to have attended SMS and still think of it as our home base. I think we’re going to continue to see the SMS legacy grow to new levels in future generations because of this campus.”
