Ready to take on the world
Each year I am impressed and
amazed by the accomplishments of
our senior class. As they end their
tenure as “rulers of the school,” there is
something very final about their departure.
In truth, there is. No longer will we see
them in the halls in their blue kilts, on
stage as they explore the intricacies of a
famous playwright, or on the playing fields,
wielding a lacrosse stick as they score yet
another goal. They have reached the end of
one experience, but as you know, it is really
only the beginning.
I feel a strong attachment to
our girls and a sense of protectiveness,
wanting to make sure
that they move forward
with ease and success.
Then I remember that
they are Baldwin girls.
These newest alumnae
have been well prepared
to take on the outside
world, and perhaps it is
the outside world that
should be prepared for
them. Charlotte Damico,
this year’s student commencement speaker,
likened her class, the class of green, to an
“army of one.” Her speech, peppered with
military terms, expressed what it is to be a
Baldwin student with eloquence and quite
a bit of humor. She said, “I remember
one day when I was in [Ms. Lapinski’s]
office arguing with a number of people
over a sports team. Still hung up on the
argument an hour later, I continued to
voice my opinion and attempted to prove
my points to Coach White, and she turned
to me in the gym and said, ‘You’re going
to be someone Charlotte Damico.’ I’m
“These newest
alumnae have been
well prepared to
take on the outside
world, and perhaps
it is the outside
world that should be
prepared for them.”
MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD
not sure she knew right then and there
how much those words meant to me; but
it goes to show how Baldwin, with its
education, and its unbelievable array of
faculty members has built us into these
passionate, opinionated, strong women.
Strong women…who are not afraid share
their voices with the world.”
This memory stuck with me in
particular, because it is a sentiment that I
hear quite often from our alumnae. I do not
have the space to share her entire speech
here, but I would love for everyone to read
her words because they are “so Baldwin.”
Please go to the news section of
www.baldwinschool.org
to find the full transcript of
her address.
I hope something always
will bring you back to Baldwin,
whether it be our campus, our
classrooms, a special event, or
even our website. I encourage
you to stay connected to this
incredible institution, your
former teachers and your
classmates and other alumnae.
The network of Baldwin women is a
powerful resource. Not a week passes
by without hearing of an alumnae
accomplishment, an unofficial “reunion”
of classmates or a tale from years gone by.
The relationships you have formed and the
experiences that resulted are unique to this
school and are to be cherished forever. I
look forward to sharing many experiences
and commencements with you for years
to come.

This year’s Alumnae Award winner, Lindsay
Carroll Farrell, graduated from Baldwin
in 1975, and four years later, completed
her undergraduate degree in French
and psychology at St. Lawrence University. She went
on to earn a certificate from the New York School of
Interior Design before receiving a master’s in business
administration from Pace University. Lindsay’s varied
educational accomplishments are matched only by the
amazing array of skills that she brings to her current
position as president and CEO of Open Door Family
Medical Centers.
Open Door Family Medical Centers began
modestly, serving patients out of a church basement in
1972. From its inception, its mission was to provide
quality medical care to those individuals most in need.
Thirty-eight years later, Open Door runs four community
medical centers located throughout Westchester County,
NY, as well as four school-based health centers at the
Edison Elementary School,
the Kennedy Magnet
School, Port Chester
Middle School and
Port Chester High
School. In 2008, the
centers treated over
40,000 patients with
more than 178,000 patient
visits. In that same year,
9,000 children were served in
the school facilities, which provide

2010 ALUMNAE AwARD wINNER
Lindsay Carroll Farrell ’75
Providing an ‘Open Door’ to health care for
the poor and uninsured
routine pediatric care, dental care, and educational
programs that promote health and wellness.
Open Door’s mission is to “serve poor and
uninsured families who would otherwise have no
choice but to go to a hospital emergency room for care.
“Hospitals love us!” Lindsay said, because “we will see
anyone who walks through the door.” Open Door’s
website states, “We believe that health care is a right
and not a privilege. We believe in diversity and respect
cultural and linguistic differences. We believe that
healthy families are at the foundation of civil society.
We believe that healthy individuals contribute to
community success.”
Lindsay has been the driving force
behind Open Door’s growth and
development since being appointed
its president and CEO by its
Board of Trustees in 1998.
However, her commitment
to this groundbreaking
organization began in 1986
when she started her affiliation
as a volunteer, driving patients
without transportation to and
from their appointments with
her infant daughter keeping her
company. Over the next 12 years,
she served as both the Center’s
director of operations and director of
development. Her work in development
resulted in major facility expansions,

which subsequently meant access for more and more
patients. As president, Lindsay oversees her staff of
250 and manages the organization’s annual budget of
$21 million. Her tireless efforts have resulted in her
receiving the Betsey Cook Grassroots Advocacy Award
from the National Association of Community Health
Centers, the Paul Ramos Memorial Award from the
Community Health Association of New York State,
and the Sol Feinstone Humanitarian Award from St.
Lawrence University.
When she was asked to testify before the U.S.
House’s Appropriations Committee on Labor, Health
and Human Services, she thanked them for their support,
explaining that their funds would make it possible for
centers like hers to care for millions of new patients,
keeping pace with the projections that say that as many as
30 million people will need the care of facilities like Open
Door by the year 2015.
Lindsay is also an amateur runner, yogi, and
triathlete. Two weeks after receiving this award, she
competed in a half marathon in Chicago.

Christina
Giannini ’55
Her creative energy is
reflected on both stage
and screen
W H E N C H R I S T I N A G I A N N I N I, this year’s winner of the Life
Achievement Award, was at Baldwin, her mother instructed her to focus on
academics and “don’t go near that theater.” And she didn’t. After graduating
from Baldwin in 1955, she went on to Douglas College of Rutgers University.
Determined to do well in school, Christina enrolled as an education major, but
that only lasted a year. She could no longer stay away from the theater, and it
seems that her fate was sealed. Christina knew even then that once she became
involved in theater it would be all consuming. And it was.
Christina has designed costumes and sets for Broadway, Off-Broadway,
opera, ballet, film and theater. Her costumes have graced the cover of Dance
Magazine; she has worked in 12 countries and twice earned the Venezuelan
Oscar for costume design. Her resume is pages and pages long
and includes costume and scenery work with the Alvin
Ailey Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre, The
Joffrey Ballet, Martha Graham Dance Company, New York
Shakespeare Festival and Pennsylvania Ballet Company, to
name just a very select few.
In addition to this work, she also finds the time
to teach design workshops and has been the resident
designer for Chautauqua Dance since 1989. She was
also the resident designer for Ohio Ballet for over a
decade, where she designed and created costumes
for more than 50 dances. Some of the highlights
from her extensive book of work include scenery
and/or costumes for A Rose for Miss Emily, Texas Fourth, Rococo Variations, Eight
by Benny Goodman, Schubert Waltzes, Summer Night, Romeo and Juliet, The
Nutcracker, Pas de Deux, Cinderella, Swan Lake, and Firebird.
A world-renowned designer, Christina has truly dedicated her life to her
craft. She pays close attention not just to the final product but also to the people
involved - the actors, dancers, choreographers, and directors. This has earned
her great respect and a reputation for excellence from the global performing
arts community. Winning accolades and glowing commendations for her work,
Christina has made a significant impact on the art world as a whole.
Rodney Gustafson is the artistic director of the State Street Ballet in Santa
Barbara. He has this to say about Christina “Her enthusiasm for the work is
contagious and she has made a great contribution to everyone whose life she
has touched….Her mind is overflowing with creative energy and she works at
the art because she loves it.”

After graduation in 1995, our Young Alumna
Award winner, Amanda Birnbaum Steinberg,
left Baldwin to complete a bachelor’s degree
in urban planning at Columbia University.
Since graduating in May of 1999, Amanda has worked
for diverse institutions ranging from CitySoft, Inc., a
web services firm that develops websites and web-based
systems for non-profit and government organizations,
to the American Civil Liberties Union. However, she is
best known today as the founder and CEO of not one
but two highly successful web-based companies. The
first, Soapbxx, is a strategic website consulting firm with
clients as varied as the Joseph Papp Public Theater,
Harlem Children’s Zone, Society Hill Synagogue, and the
City of Philadelphia. The second, DailyWorth.com, was
launched in January 2009 and is a free personal finance
site that seeks to “empower women to recognize their self
worth, earn higher salaries and grow their net worth.”
When discussing either of her companies or what
their missions are, Amanda’s dedication is obvious.
When asked why she founded Soapbxx she replied, “I
am passionate about the web’s ability to create authentic
connections free of physical
boundaries and limits. I
cannot think of anything
more exciting than helping
groups as diverse as wine
lovers, teachers, activists,
recyclers – you name
it—create community
online.” Her vision and
determination are seen
even more clearly when she
discusses what drove her

to create DailyWorth, which was launched within the
same week she gave birth to her second child, daughter
Maya. “No one is going to fix financial inequity for
women. We have to recognize our own self-worth, ask for
higher salaries, invest more aggressively and build our
own wealth.” Even more than unfair compensation, the
pet peeve that really gets Amanda going is the constant
apologizing women do. “Women apologize for their
questions and concerns, and discount their words before
even articulating their thoughts and ideas. That has got to
stop!” she insists.
Amanda’s message is clearly working as the site
gains 20 new members daily. Within the first six months,
her membership had exceeds 1,000 users. Her long-term
goal is to attract 100,000 members.
Articles highlighting Amanda’s work have been
written for magazines such as Forbes, Self, and Inc. to
name a few. Her success was most recently described in
a featured article on Entrepreneur.com. In addition,
Oprah Winfrey just bought a sponsorship in one of her
daily emails.

It may have taken a few years but on April 30, the
Friday of Reunion Weekend, Baldwin honored
its oldest known living alumna, 105-year-old Ada
Mutch ’22 with the presentation of an honorary
White Blazer.
The White Blazer is presented annually to a
graduating senior chosen by her peers as the school’s
best all-around athlete. Ada had received the “Gym
Award” during her years at Baldwin prior to the creation
of the White Blazer. She also taught physical education at
Baldwin for six years and always lamented that the White
Blazer was an award not given during her student years.
The White Blazer was one of several awards and
honors Ada has received. These include Baldwin’s
Alumnae Award in 1974, a Distinguished Daughter of
Pennsylvania Award in 1975, the Villanova University
College of Nursing Award for outstanding leadership
and volunteer service and an award for dedicated
service from Lankenau Hospital in 2005. There is a
scholarship named after her at the Presbyterian Hospital
School of Nursing in Yonkers, NY, and last fall the
Ada Mutch Community Resource Center was opened
in Bryn Mawr.
Born in Scotland in 1905, Ada emigrated with
her family to Bryn Mawr in 1912. After graduating from
Baldwin, she earned a degree from the Boston School of
Physical Education. She worked as a physical education
teacher for eight years before she decided to pursue a
nursing career in 1933 after an appendix operation. She
graduated from New York’s Columbia-Presbyterian
Hospital School of Nursing in 1936 and was hired as a
head nurse at the hospital. She then was appointed to the
faculty of Columbia University’s Department of Nursing,
where she taught nursing and also earned a bachelor’s
degree in nursing supervision in 1941.
W h i te B l a z e r W i n n e r
Ada Mutch ’22
is awarded a White Blazer
From 1942 to
1946, she served in
World War II as a
member of the U.S.
Army Nurse Corps,
directing nursing in
Army hospitals in the
European Theater of
Operations. By the
time of her discharge,
she had attained the
rank of lieutenant
colonel.
After her
distinguished military
career, Ada pursued
a master’s degree at
Columbia Teachers
College in New
York City, which she
completed in 1948.
Ada Mutch ‘22, who won the
“Gym Award” during her days
at Baldwin, was presented
with an honorary White
Blazer at the Alumnae Award
ceremony April 30.
She returned to Presbyterian Hospital, where she was
appointed supervisor and eventually accepted a dual
position as assistant director of nursing and assistant
professor of nursing at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical
Center. In 1955, she returned to the Philadelphia area to
accept a position with Lankenau Hospital. She retired
from Lankenau in 1970 after a distinguished 15-year
tenure as director of nursing and nursing education.
For more than 30 years, she drove people with
cancer to their medical appointments and delivered Meals
on Wheels until macular degeneration and cataracts
forced her to stop driving at age 98. She also assisted
clients of ElderNet in Bryn Mawr on Monday mornings
and served on the Volunteer Committee and Personnel
Committee of the ElderNet Board.

Spring in the Lower School
The Lower School is always a hive of activity, but the last six weeks of the
school year were especially abuzz, beginning with the Fourth Grade’s “Wax
Museum” tribute to famous figures in history on May 7 to the ultimate event
of the Lower School year, the Fifth Grade Moving Up Ceremony on June 9.
Special events included Grandparents’/Special Persons’ Day on May 10,
Fifth Grade’s Café International on May 14, Second Grade Native American Day
on May 18, First Grade’s African Feast on May 27, Third Grade Colonial Day on
May 28, and the Fourth Grade Book Publishing Party on June 3. And don’t
forget the Kindergarten Art Show, numerous field days and swim meets,
musicals and concerts, and a variety of other grade-level events.
These events are exciting for the students because they provide an
opportunity to enjoy crafts and special activities, don fun costumes and

display their talents and knowledge to friends and family. Most events also
represent the culmination of hard work, study and practice in academic
units such as social studies, language arts, foreign language, music and
physical education. For example, at Café International, all servers greet their
“customers” in French or Spanish and help translate the French and Spanish
menus into English for them. These “customers” consist of family members
and faculty who trade in American money for Euro currency and order
pastries and other treats from French or Spanish menus. The money collected
goes to a Lower School community service project.
The flurry of events came to a conclusion on the last day of school, June
9, when the entire Lower School body gathered in the Blue Gymnasium to
celebrate the “moving up” of 34 fifth graders to Middle School.

Elected by her classmates as student speaker
this year was Charlotte Damico, who will
attend Bucknell University in the fall. She used
a military theme to address “my Class of Green,
my Army of One.
“Baldwin has given us the strength to stand
up for what we believe in. It has prepared us
to deport to our various other bases across the
country come fall; some fighting on the fields,
some fighting on the courts, some fighting
for lead roles on the stage, as well as all of us
fighting in the classroom. … Baldwin, with its
education, and its unbelievable array of faculty
members has built us into these passionate,
opinionated, strong women. Strong women who
not only share their voices during chemistry class
while performing ‘Lean On Me’ in the middle
of the lecture, but strong women who are not
afraid to share their voices with the world. …
As I leave you all, I just wanted to let you know
that you will always be a part of me, from the
gates to the cherry trees. I wish the best for
each and every one of you, and that you all will
continue to strive for greatness. Stay awesome;
stay classy. Don’t be afraid to take chances in the
days to come. The road is long, but in the end,
the journey is the destination. At ease, cadets. I
salute you.”

Seven longtime faculty and staff
members moved on this spring
MARC EPSTEIN, who taught history in the Middle and Upper
Schools at Baldwin for 21 years, has moved to Bucks County
where he will continue to teach history and advise
the Model United Nations club at the nearby
Pennington School in New Jersey. He served
on many faculty committees at Baldwin, most
recently the Faculty-Administrative Council and
the Discipline Committee. Taking Baldwin’s Model
UN club to Washington, D.C. annually was always
a highlight for him. “Baldwin has been a great
experience for 21 years. The girls have amazing
energy and it’s been a pleasure being part of such a dynamic
community,” he said.
CHRISTIANE DEBOISSESON may be retiring after teaching
French in every division at Baldwin for 20 years, but she will
be busy teaching at Main Line School Night and the Alliance
Française of Philadelphia, gardening, caring for
her eight grandchildren and traveling. She served
as a class advisor for 15 years, the Middle School
yearbook advisor, head of the Faculty Forum, a
member of many committees including search
committees for the head of school and Middle
School director, and a faculty mentor. She also
organized the Middle School trip to Quebec and
was awarded grants from both the Agnes and
Sophie Dallas Irwin and a Rachel C. Shoemaker Funds. “I will
miss my time in the classroom with my students, and I will
miss being part of a unique and divine group of adults,” she
said. “And I will miss the essence of Baldwin – its philosophy
and what it represents.”
JUDY THOMAS is retiring after teaching fifth grade social
studies and English for 19 years. She served on the Lower
School Admissions Committee for the last 10 years, the search
committees for the Lower and Middle School directors and
as co-chair-chair of the History Committee for the last PAPAS
evaluation. She looks forward to
reading, sailing and traveling,
especially to visit her daughter,
Ashley Thomas Lenihan ’96 in
London. Of leaving Baldwin, she
said, “I will miss the girls more
than anything, they were all
wonderful.”
BETH CRISCUOLO taught acting directing, playwriting,
theater history, speech and an independent study in theater
production in the Upper School during her 14 years at
Baldwin. She also directed the fifth grade play, helped with
the third and first grade plays and
produced the all-school Martin
Luther King, Jr. assembly for a
number of consecutive years. Her
playwriting students consistently
garnered top awards, including
cash prizes, annually in contests
in Philadelphia, Ohio, Los Angeles
and New York. Many of their
plays were produced professionally, and one student’s won
the National Young Playwrights award last year. She said she
will “miss Baldwin’s faculty, a rare breed of experts who have
been like a family to me all of these years.”
SUE HOUSER WINANT ’78
served on the Alumnae
Association Executive Board for
seven years and as its president
and representative to the Board
of Trustees for four years before
joining the staff as director of
alumnae relations 12 years ago.
During her time at Baldwin, she served as director of major
gifts, associate director and director of advancement and

While serving the school for over 10
years each, together they have nearly
120 years of experience at Baldwin.
most recently, as director of stewardship. Financial aid was
her priority as a fundraiser, and she was instrumental in
organizing the annual Alex Wake’05 Memorial Run as well as
working with the Alumnae Association, the National Board of
Advisors, the Parents’ Association and Blue Gray. She initiated
the 50 th class reunion fund drive, which raised over a $1
million during her involvement. What she valued most during
her time at Baldwin was “working with the most dedicated
group of women I have known in my lifetime: the Baldwin
alumnae, and with a group of parents so truly dedicated to
the school and the education of their daughters.”
MARY ELLEN MCGINNITY taught in the Lower School for 11
years: five years in both first and third grades and one year in
Pre-Kindergarten. She also taught at Camp Magar for a total
of 10 years and started the Lower School’s Baldwin Explorers,
a nature study program inspired
by her admiration of the school’s
beautiful campus. She served on
many faculty committees and
as head of both Faculty Forum
and Council and as Baldwin
coordinator for the annual Dream
Flag Project at the Kimmel Center.
“My professional journey was
enriched by all of the interactions I had with colleagues,
parents, and especially the girls at Baldwin! I’m a people
person and I loved finding ways to make connections with
everyone I met” she said.
MARILYN ROSENBAUM served as the friendly face to anxious
Upper School students applying to college during her 21 years as
registrar and administrative assistant in the college counseling
office. Known simply as “Mrs. R,” she coordinated transcripts,
recommendation letters and other application materials for
hundreds of students during her years at Baldwin, always
offering words of reassurance and encouragement.

Trustees are honored
for their service
Trustee Margaret Fritz Schneider ’50
was presented with a print of The
Baldwin School recently as a token of
appreciation for her long service as chair
of the Board of Trustees’ Major Gifts
Committee. Schneider, who has served
on the Board for eight years, stepped
down from the chairmanship this past
year but will remain on the Board.
Just like the seniors who graduated this year, several trustees concluded
their terms on the Board this spring. They include Dr. Susan Taylor,
nine years of service; Patti Dietrich, one year as Parents’ Association
representative; Anthony Ibarguen, six years of service; Suzanne Tiernan
’67, two years as Alumnae Association representative; and Carolyn Jones
’73, nine years of service. Not pictured but also departing the Board this
year were Meg Glascott-Birch, two years as faculty representative, and
Bhavna Shyamalan, four years of service.
Kathy Taylor ’70 takes a seat in the Baldwin
chair she was presented with at the Board
meeting in May. Taylor received the chair in
appreciation for her service as chair of the
Board for the past two years. A five-year
Board member, she will remain a trustee and
serve on the Board’s Executive Committee.

‘ONE IS SILVER AND THE OTHER, GOLD’
Baldwin Crew makes a splash on local, regional and
national waters
Baldwin Crew had another outstanding season, capturing a total of
seven gold, one silver and two bronze medals in local, regional and
national regattas.
Baldwin’s lightweight double of Madison Noteware ‘12 and
Allison Hoeltzel ‘10 won a silver medal at the USRowing Youth National
Championships in Cincinnati, OH on June 13 with a time of 8:00.509 on
the 2,000-meter course. First place went to Lake Union from Seattle,
WA and third was Pocock Rowing Center, also from Seattle. The field
included 20 boats from schools and clubs across the nation, all of whom
had to qualify for the USRowing Championship at regional regattas.
Baldwin’s double was one of only two Philadelphia area crews to medal
at the national championships.
The double’s silver medal capped
off an exciting season for Hoeltzel
and Noteware, who won gold in the
event at the 84th annual Stotesbury
Cup Regatta, the world’s largest high
school regatta, on May 15 as well as at
the Scholastic Rowing Association of
America (SRAA) Championships May 29

the singles rowers competed in an indoor 1,500 kilometer
ergometer race. Cirelli won the girls division with a time
of 6:05.
The two bronze medals were captured at the New
Jersey Scholastic Championships by the senior double of

Meet the new Director
of Alumnae Relations,
Mary Pat Nolan Staats
Dear Alumnae,
Greetings from the Office of Alumnae Relations! My name is
Mary Pat Staats and on July 1 I joined the Baldwin community
as your director of alumnae relations. I bring to this position
years of experience as an administrator in
higher education, most recently serving as
senior associate director of alumni affairs at
Lafayette College in Easton.
My childhood home is in Louisville,
KY where I attended Sacred Heart
Academy, a private girls’ academy and
where I earned a B.S. and M.A. in
education from Spalding University,
a private women’s college at the time
I attended. I taught in a traditional
second grade classroom for three years before joining the
admissions team at my alma mater. Eight years later I left my
position as Spalding’s director of admissions and student
support services for an administrative position at Saint
Mary’s College in Notre Dame, IN. After 20 years at Saint
Mary’s, I joined the Lafayette College admissions staff and
soon became the senior associate director of alumni affairs.
Now, five years later, I am proud to say that I am one of the
newest members of the Baldwin community.
I have been an active volunteer for my alma maters,
serving as a class agent, planning class reunions, serving on
the Sacred Heart’s alumnae association’s executive board
and as the president of the alumnae association. I look
forward to putting my educational and volunteer experience
to good use as I support the Baldwin alumnae and parent
programs and events.
“She is excited about the challenge and has hit the ground running!
I’m looking forward to forging this relationship and serving the
Baldwin alumnae community.”
-Shawn Lacy ’71, President, Baldwin Alumnae Association
As your director of alumnae relations, I hope to serve
as a helpful resource to strengthen your connection with
the school and among your Baldwin classmates and friends.
One of my priorities will be to enhance your networking
opportunities, and I will look to you for your questions and
“Mary Pat comes to us with over 30
years of experience in the academic
arena. Former colleagues have
praised her strong work ethic,
her professionalism and most
importantly, her enthusiasm for
alumnae relations. I, too, am
enthusiastic about her arrival and
look forward to seeing her impact
at our school.”
- Head of School Sally M. Powell
ideas as we work together to plan future alumnae programs
and events. If you are in the area and would like to stop
by to say hello, or would like to discuss how you can become
more involved with the school and other
alumnae, please contact me at 610-525-
2700, ext. 268 or by email at mstaats@
baldwinschool.org.
In my first weeks at Baldwin,
members of the community have embraced
me and made me feel very welcomed.
My new colleagues have thoughtfully
introduced me to the Baldwin history and
many of its traditions. I also have begun to
meet wonderful alumnae who were willing
to share some of their stories with me and help me learn the
campus culture. I look forward to hearing from you the next
time you are on campus, perhaps at an upcoming event or
your reunion!
Best regards,
Mary Pat Nolan Staats

Anne Burns ’96 named
new marketing director
Former Director of Alumnae Relations Anne
Plutzer Burns ’96 has been appointed
Baldwin’s new director of marketing.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania,
Anne has had previous experience in marketing
and development at Philadelphia Magazine,
a Philadelphia law firm, and the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She returned to Baldwin in 2007 to
become the director of alumnae relations, a position she held until
this past May when she became the new marketing director. “It is
imperative, in these economic times, that we position ourselves in
the most effective manner, the development of this new position will
concentrate on doing just that,” said Head of School Sally Powell.
“Our alumnae know better than anyone, the benefits of a Baldwin
education, and it will be crucial for us to share your experiences,
among others, with prospective students and their parents.”

How to Provide a Photo for Echoes
Welcome New Alumnae!
Echoes often includes photos submitted by alumnae. We encourage alumnae to send in photos of themselves
and their activities. Photos can be either black and white or color, but they must be prints or digital photos,
in focus and of a quality suitable for reproduction (300 dpi for digital photos.) All people in the photo must
be identified.
We will run photos of alumnae children if the alumnae also appear in the photo or if the child is wearing a
Baldwin logo. Currently, we do not run photos of alumnae grandchildren unless the alumnae also appear in the
photo. Photos will be returned upon request. Please provide a current mailing address if you would like your
photo returned.
We want your photos to be “picture perfect” and to help us accomplish this, please follow the following
requirements. If you are sending a digital photo, be sure your camera has been set to use the highest setting with
a resolution of 300 dpi. Save the image as a JPEG at the highest quality. The preferred image size is seven inches
on the longest side. Email your image as an attachment (not placed in the message or in a Word document) to
LPfeil@Baldwinschool.org. Please do not send your photo in a “photo sharing” program that requires us to sign up.
If you are scanning a photo, scan it as its actual size (100%) with the scanner set at 300 dpi. Save the image
as a JPEG. Email your image as an attachment (not placed in the message or in a Word document) to
LPfeil@Baldwinschool.org.
We love to receive original prints. Glossy is preferred over matte. Please do not write on the back of the photo
but do include caption information on a separate piece of paper with the photo. We cannot print negatives,
slides, magazine pictures or photocopies.
We regret that if photos are not submitted according to the above specifications, we cannot run them.
Volunteering to serve as class agents and class secretaries for the Class of 2010 are
new alumnae, Zaakirah Hamid, Kayla Cohen, Ashley Catalano-Leckerman, Sarah
June and Alexandria Evans.
