Episcopal Day School (EDS) traces its rich history to 1959, the year it was officially founded in Southern Pines, NC. This conversation about one of the most esteemed schools in the Sandhills will focus on several salient topics: EDS’ mission; its nature as an independent school, rather than a “private school;” its unique characteristics that differentiate it from other nonpublic schools; its curriculum; its focus on traits of character, including the powerful Fruit of the Spirit program; its technology program; and finally, its PTA and upcoming major fundraiser, The Candlelight Tour of Homes.
Families are drawn to EDS because of its safe, nurturing environment, its deep spiritual foundation, its high expectations concerning student behavior, its population of bright, engaged students, its opportunities for parental involvement, and the successes of its graduates in middle school, high school and beyond. EDS is focused on engendering the next generation of forward thinking leaders, and this discussion will allow listeners to better understand how EDS is achieving this important goal.
Participating in the discussion are Tom Brereton, Head of School, Jill Connett, Director of Academics, Tracy Corbett, Educational Technologist, and Harley Hall, current parent.

PLAYLISTS – We make them for workouts, parties, break-ups or simply organizing our favorite grunge songs into a digital, heart-shaped box. When Harley Aberle got her first iPod, she created the kind of playlist every girl wants to keep on solitary lockdown. She called it The Exesa collection of long-lost songs that instantly steamrolled her down a memory lane of men wider than a six-lane freeway. Skeletons that needed to stay in her closet or so she thought.
Lisa’s book can also serve as a primer for girls ages 14-17 to help assist them to learn some valuable lessons about growing up and making the right choices.
Based on my personal experiences of struggling to find passion at home and at work, The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men Who Rocked Me to Wine Country is a novel that tracks one womans transformation from redneck waitress to refined wine maven a bewildering journey from lust to love and beer to wine told through a playlist of ex-boyfriend songs.
In this novel, The Exes playlist helps Harley free a labyrinth of skeletons locked deep in the closet of her psychea pot-smoking scuba diver, a bisexual cocaine addict, a military man with a top-secret wife, three Latin lovers, a divorced restaurant manager and a winemaker just for starters. Using lucky 13 songs, The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men who Rocked Me to Wine Country will inspire readers to relive their relationship failures through their own Exes playlists and discover the hidden beauty of all that baggage our relationship failures make us who we are. They pave our paths in life. They are dating assets, not liabilities. It was Harleys destiny to figure out the key to real love through mind-numbing trial and error and for her not-so-straight or narrow road to Mr. Right and her dream job to stretch from the cornfields of Kansas to Floridas beaches to California wine country.
