13TH ANNU L May 10, 2025 Journal
Letter from the Head of School Dear Ransom Everglades Community, What makes the Ransom Everglades Epic Fishing (REEF) tournament so special? Perhaps it’s the friendly competition in the early morning light, the irresistible scent of freshly grilled fish tacos, the artistry of Astrid Dalins and our talented RE Art League members, or simply the joy of gathering with friends on land and sea. Whatever it may be, this cherished annual event offers something for everyone. Now in its 13th year, REEF continues to remind us of the natural beauty of our bayfront campus and, even more importantly, the strength and generosity of our community. Students, faculty, alumni, and RE friends come together to celebrate the bay that is our backyard — reeling in fish, sharing stories and supporting incredible causes. Thanks to the unwavering enthusiasm of our participants, REEF has raised more than $325,000 in support of Breakthrough Miami, which serves underserved students and operates on our campuses, the Barnyard, and the Harry Anderson ’38 Watersports Center. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just testing the waters, REEF welcomes all with open arms. After a morning spent chasing the perfect catch, anglers gather to weigh their best fish and connect over tacos and Ms. Dalins’ latest showstopping cake. Meanwhile, conversations at dockside tables offer meaningful insights into protecting our oceans and natural environment, thanks to Miami Waterkeeper and RE shark experts Dr. Kristine Stump and Dr. Heather Marshall. None of this would be possible without the support of our dedicated REEF Committee Chairs, Christian Falk ’91, Aabad Melwani P’28 ’32, and returning chair Kevin Grossfeld ’95. Their pride in RE and their generous hearts are evident in every aspect of this special event. I am also deeply grateful to Alumni Association CoPresidents Ed Cassel ’03 and Rachel Narvaez ’99, whose contributions helped make Alumni Weekend a tremendous success. A special thank-you is owed to Elana Oberstein-Harris ’93, Peter Diamond ’92, and Pearce Klevan ’97 for their outstanding leadership over 12 tournaments. Their dedication and passion have left an unforgettable mark on the REEF community, ensuring its success for years to come. Here’s to another fantastic year of fishing, friendship and fun on the bay. Tight lines, and happy fishing! Warmly, Rachel Rodriguez Head of School
Letter from the Alumni Board Co-Presidents Dear Alumni and Friends, This year is the 13th annual Ransom Everglades Epic Finishing Tournament (REEF), a fun-filled day that brings so many of our community members together for a great cause! REEF benefits the Ransom Everglades Waterfront which supports RE and community-wide athletic opportunities and is used all year for classes, competitions and community service. In addition, a portion of the REEF proceeds also benefit the Barnyard and Breakthrough Miami, two of our cherished community partners. Thank you so much to the REEF Chairs who make this special tradition possible every year: Christian Falk ’91, Kevin Grossfeld ’95 and Aabad Melwani P’28 ’32. They and their committee have worked diligently to make this year a big success. We also greatly appreciate the support of our generous sponsors, student volunteers and of course visual arts teacher Astrid Dalins, who creates incredible REEF cakes each year! Ransom Everglades alumni have so many fun traditions, but the REEF tournament has become a true favorite. Thank you again to everyone who supports this beautiful day. Go Raiders!

Astrid Dalins: 13 Years of REEF Cakes By Pearce Klevan ’97 Astrid’s cakes are as much an institution at REEF as she is at Ransom Everglades. I had the pleasure of being a student in her amazing art class while in high school, working with her at the Bass Museum Summer Camp, and ultimately becoming friends with her. The only thing more eccentric and fun than Astrid is the amazing works of art she creates and helps her students bring to life. This interview is a dedication and celebration of a true Ransom Everglades legend who has been an invaluable part of so many students’ lives over the course of three amazing decades. Thank you, Astrid! PK: How and when did you get started at Ransom Everglades? In 1995, I was teaching art history part-time at DASH, painting and art history at FIU, and served as an art consultant for the magnet school, Norland Middle School – all in one day, every day. Plus, I was working at the Bass Museum Summer Camp. I knew the photo teacher at RE from the University of Miami graduate school, and she told me that there was an opening for an art teacher, so I figured I’d interview. It was fulltime in one place, so that seemed like something good to try, although I didn’t mind the running around. What are some of the things you love about working at RE/ with RE students? On day one I almost fell over when so many students said “Good Morning” or “Good Morning, Ms. Dalins.” The good cheer and politeness were extraordinary. And they were always happy and eager to try any project in any media. It was a treat to teach. What experiences did you have before joining? It never seemed like teaching ART was the focus. It was lots of discipline and paperwork that went with that. I’m not a fan of either. Tell me a bit about your boating/fishing background? When my mother was pregnant with me, my dad built a 30’ Chris Craft in our driveway in Cincinnati, Ohio ... then built a trailer and drove it to San Diego, California where he got a job as a civil engineer at the naval base. He was boating for four months in California before he met me and we moved to California and started
boating. Then he got a job at Redstone Arsenal and moved the boat and family to Huntsville, Alabama, and built a boathouse. And I was always in my dad’s lap driving the boat until I could. My dad would feed catfish under our boathouse, so fish was always for dinner. And we were always going to the Bahamas, and still to this day, catching Yellowtails and Strawberry Groupers is my favorite fishing. When I moved to Miami to attend graduate school, I discovered sailing and got a small sailboat and raced it in regattas, and then got a bigger sailboat for cruising the keys, and then got a powerboat for those days when one needs a powerboat and fishing. Now I have a pontoon boat for the flats in The Bahamas. Any favorite students besides Pearce Klevan? Or is he so far and away your favorite that it’s not worth discussing? Since teachers don’t have favorites, that is an unanswerable question. But Pearce Klevan enthusiastically volunteered for two summers at the Bass Museum Summer Camp and brought along other Ransom Everglades students, which made me appreciate RE students all the more. It’s great that he was there to hear the greatest quote of all time ... from
a boy named Kelvin, “Sometimes it’s good to be lazy, you can’t work all of the time.” (PK: True story – she made that into a bumper sticker for my truck). Art, Boats and Fishing ... that’s what’s up.) How did you started creating cakes for the REEF tournament? For many years, I had a specialty cake business. The cakes were more artistic and sculptural than gourmet, so every time there was a party, the organizations that knew me asked for a special cake. I even made Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ 103rd birthday cake. It was a 6-foot-long representation of the Everglades with chocolate alligators and pretzel mangroves. Channel 7 News said Mrs. Douglas was feted with a model of the Everglades and never mentioned that it was a cake. Oh well. So, naturally, it always still occurs to me that every special occasion deserves a cake. And since it was the first RE community fishing tournament, it was going to be special, and everyone, especially kids, loves cake. What are some of the cakes you’ve created over the years? The first one was a fondant version of the (Nathaniel) Johansson ’14 Start Boat heading out the RE canal toward the fishing fleet filled with fondant representations of the participants’ fishing boats. The cake was six feet long, starting with mangroves and ending with a drop off into a fondant sea creature reef. Others were a circle of fondant, life-size representations of local fish, a life-size (although smaller than the usual catch) mahi breaking the water attached to a line, several gravity defying representations of a fishing boat over a reef and several surprise enclosures made to look like cake (by plastering various boxes or coolers) filled with cupcakes and fondant sea creatures. How are you inspired to create the REEF cake each year? I like fish, fishing, sea creatures and making things out of fondant. I enjoy everyone getting a big surprise. What are some of the strangest ingredients or materials you’ve used to make the cakes? One year Bob DuBard helped by mounting a hydraulic scissor jack under the “installation.” What was the most extravagant cake you created? Although they get crazier every year, and Tony Mercadal is there to help with his drills, saws and carpentry skills, my favorite has to be the one that
depicted what happened at the end of the movie The Abyss. The top of the large plaster frosting cooler lifted up and the bottom of the reef filled with cake and fondant creatures was exposed while the theme of The Abyss was playing. How do students help you? Many students love the idea of making sea creatures with fondant. Many fall out of love after just a few … but I always have students who get into the entire production as much as I do. And since large cakes must be put together in situ the day of, I always have a crew of students helping frost, sprinkle, place, repair and tote things about. Do you have a favorite REEF cake? The Abyss cake and the Cantilevered Fishing boat cakes are tied for number one, and last year’s weddingcake-tower of fondant creature cupcakes is number two. Thank you, Astrid. For the interview, for the cakes and for everything else …

Changing Lives and Creating Leaders For more than three decades, Breakthrough Miami has served as a dynamic engine of opportunity in our community — igniting futures, nurturing potential, and preparing the next generation of leaders. Founded in 1991 at Ransom Everglades School by alumni John Flickinger ’74 and Doug Welser ’74, the program began as “Summerbridge,” with a bold mission: to support talented middle school students from under-resourced communities in overcoming barriers to academic success. Today, Breakthrough Miami is a nationally recognized model for out-of-school time learning and leadership development. With the continued partnership of Ransom Everglades and its alumni, Breakthrough Miami now serves more than 1,700 Scholars in grades 5-12 from more than 320 schools and 150 zip codes across South Florida, supported by 164 Teaching Fellows and 600 student volunteers each year. Breakthrough’s unique and powerful “students-teaching-students” model brings together motivated young learners with outstanding high school and college students who serve as mentors, teachers and role models. Opportunity Generator Breakthrough Miami offers an eight-year, tuition-free program that supports Scholars through elementary, middle and high school — and sets them on a path to college and career success. Core programming includes a rigorous six-week Summer Institute and robust Saturday sessions throughout the school year, providing academic enrichment and leadership development tailored to students’ developmental stage. Breakthrough Scholars benefit from more than 200 hours of our out-of-school academic instruction, individualized advising, and high school and college readiness and access programming. Consistently, Breakthrough Miami’s outcomes demonstrate unmatched impact: • 100% of Scholars graduate on time from high school • 98% enroll immediately in college • Over 90% take advanced coursework • Scholars are nearly twice as likely as their peers to complete college within six years Breakthrough’s research-based model is grounded in data showing that students from under-resourced communities often experience learning loss during the summer — up to five months in reading. Long-term engagement in high-quality out-of-school programs has been proven to improve academic performance, college readiness and life skills. Breakthrough tackles this challenge head-on, offering a supportive, engaging environment where students learn, grow and thrive year-round. Additionally, Breakthrough’s Teaching Fellowship — ranked by the Princeton Review as one of the top 10 service internships in the nation — offers high school and college students a handson leadership and teaching experience. A layered mentorship approach — pairing Scholars with Fellows, and Fellows with professional educators — creates a vibrant, supportive learning community. Near-peer mentoring has shown powerful results, with academic and social benefits for both mentors and mentees. A Growing Legacy Ransom Everglades proudly cultivated the foundation for Breakthrough Miami to expand and flourish. A game-changing $3.25 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in 2007 catalyzed expansion into a multi-site model, enabling the organization to bring its proven model to more Scholars and communities. Today, in addition to the Ransom Everglades School site, which serves more than 200 Scholars, Breakthrough is hosted at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart, Gulliver Preparatory, Miami Country Day School, Palmer Trinity School, Saint Andrew’s School, and the University of Miami. Breakthrough Miami continues to grow its reach and deepen its impact across South Florida and has earned numerous local and national accolades. Breakthrough Miami was selected Best Summer Learning Program in the country by the National Summer Learning Association and Program of the Year by The Children’s Trust and Volunteer Florida/AmeriCorps. Together, We Break Through The Ransom Everglades Alumni Association is proud to celebrate this powerful legacy of partnership. As Breakthrough continues to grow and evolve, it remains deeply rooted in the shared values of opportunity, service, rigor and excellence. Together, we are changing lives and creating leaders.
Letter from REEF Chairs Dear Friends of the RE Epic Fishing Tournament, We are filled with gratitude as we enter the 13th Annual REEF tournament. We extend our thanks to the entire RE community that rallies around this event every year. Moments of experiential learning on the water have been a part of each and every graduate since the founding of our school. Upon graduation, we all leave RE with a deep appreciation for our environment, cherishing mangrove clean ups, and chuckling as we reminisce about our PE class flipping canoes in preparation for the Everglades experience with Outward Bound. The skills remain with us decades later, along with our love for our alma mater. That love has been translated into events such as REEF, where we all come together for a common cause. Twelve tournaments have passed, and we have successfully raised over $325,000 for our school and community partners Breakthrough Miami and the Barnyard. We accomplished all of this while promoting boater safety and sustainable fishing and educating anglers about the importance of the natural environment that surrounds our school. In its 13th year, the tournament has a new twist! We welcomed a new category as we aspire to include more anglers. We have added a billfish release category. The award, based on an honor system, will go to the team with the highest count of billfish releases without removing the fish from the water. As we reflect on The RE Way and the core value of Service and Outreach the REEF tournament is an event that provides all constituents with an opportunity to make a positive contribution to our school community, the neighboring Coconut Grove community and the broader world. Thank you to Executive Printers of Florida, who remains the presenting sponsor for the 13th year in a row. We recognize Diaz Marine (Daniella ’95, Adrian ’99 and Lucas ’97) for never letting us down and providing the official committee boat for our shotgun start. We would like to thank our Honorary Chair, Andy Ansin ’81, for his continued involvement which ensures the enduring impact of this tournament for generations to come. Throughout the years, we have witnessed enduring friendships and healthy competition among our anglers. We thank all of you, and our community sponsors, for your continued involvement in this tournament which underscores the collective commitment to this cause. Wishing you the best at sea!
