Philanthropy Report
Willow Philanthropy Report 2010-2011 Excellence • Education • Ethics • Ecology OUR MISSION The Willow School, a small, independent coeducational day school for students in preschool through eighth grade, is committed to combining academic excellence and the joy of learning and to experiencing the wonder of the natural world. Mastery of the English language is an essential element in an integrated curriculum that helps students comprehend the patterns of how things are connected and prepares them for all areas of their secondary education. The school is dedicated to maintaining an environment where respect for the individual, an outstanding faculty, and an understanding of place foster independent thinking, creativity, responsibility, and integrity. The Willow School education enables children to develop an ethical approach to all relationships, to realize their full potential, and to believe in their power to effect positive change. “The parent connection for me is tremendous. There hasn’t been a parent here that I haven’t liked. I hope we never lose this connection.” – Parent LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Willow School Community, I am deeply moved by the tremendous support you have demonstrated for The Willow School and continue to be inspired by your commitment to the unique things being done here. Through 100% participation in the Annual Fund yet again, the students and parents, faculty and staff, members of the Board of Trustees and the Advisory Council show an abiding conviction in our school mission and work. Especially in these times of economic uncertainty, each act of support is all the more meaningful and appreciated. Thank you, sincerely, for your generous contributions. Most respectfully, David Donovan Chair, Board of Trustees LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Families and Friends of Willow, Once again, I am challenged to sufficiently express my gratitude for your continued generosity. This truly has been a year where every gift counted! In an economically challenging year I am happy to report that Willow exceeded our goals in two important areas: the Green Gala and the Annual Fund. This past year was another remarkable success in fund raising and service to Willow. Thank you for the hours of volunteer efforts given. Our success is due largely to your hard work and your dedication to The Willow School. It is incredibly inspiring to attend Parent Association meetings and hear the variety of creative ideas shared and even more amazing to see them actualized in our Green Gala and other annual events. Your involvement in every aspect of the School helps to create this vibrant community. I would like to point out a few new features of this report. You may note that we are calling this The Philanthropy Report; we do so to more accurately recognize your generous philanthropy in so many forms. Additionally, we are listing our leadership donors as well as those who have been donors for five years or more. These consecutive year donors constitute The Willow Tree Society. Donors of gifts made to the Library and Gifts in Kind are now listed specifically. Each of you has helped us carry out the mission of The Willow School, for this we are sincerely grateful. With appreciation, Kate Burke Walsh Head of School 1 FACULTY & STAFF 2010-2011 Lilliana Lisbao Middle School Teacher of History ADMINISTRATION Kate Burke Walsh Head of School Katie Lombardo Associate Teacher, Kindergarten Robert Andolina Director of Technology Catherine Luborsky Teacher of French/Spanish Mark Biedron Co-Founder Suzzanne Mahoney Teacher of Science, K – 4th Grade Gayle DiGioacchino Administrative Assistant to the Head Lauren Morse Co-Teacher of Preschool Paul Parker Teacher of 2nd Grade Susie Delaporte Administrative Assistant to the Development and Admissions Office Janice Genetti School Nurse Katherine Harris Assistant to the Business Office Emmett Kresge Director of Facilities Judi Meighan Director of Development Linda Ritthaler Director of Business and Finance Danny Pagaduan Maintenance Supervisor Dorian von Aulock Director of Operations and Human Resources Annette Worthington Director of Admissions Secondary School Placement Counselor FACULTY Scott Beil Teacher of Art John Brandi School Psychologist Meg Brandt Librarian, Reading Specialist 2 Jodi Potter Teacher of 5th Grade Michael Chodroff Middle School Teacher of Science Deidre Cooper-Boyce Teacher of 3rd Grade Linda Cowperthwaite Teacher of Latin Meagan Coy Service Learning Coordinator Shannon Downey Middle School Teacher Leader, Middle School Teacher of Language Arts Carol Fontaine Teacher Leader Grades 3-5, Teacher of 4th Grade Brian Gary Teacher of Wellness, After School Sports Karen Hilde Teacher of Architecture/Handcrafts Alison Iati Preschool Teacher of Music Jessica Katchen Co-Teacher of Preschool Julie Kim Teacher of Kindergarten Gina Lefferts Teacher of Music Amy Swenson Teacher Leader Grades PS-2, Teacher of 1st Grade Tara VanDette Assistant Teacher, 1st Grade Tom Williams Middle School Teacher of Math WHY WE CHOSE WILLOW… “Willow provides a space for kids to feel comfortable and take risks, like public speaking in front of the whole school.” – Trustee “When we came to Willow, we found that everybody was on the same page and shared the same values.” – Parent “I want my child to be a good person. Anybody can be successful if they are a good person, and I feel they really foster this at Willow.” – Parent “It’s not just about the academics. My kids are happy. They look forward to going to school each day because they feel comfortable and valued at Willow. I can’t put a price tag on that.” – Parent “All the teachers are committed to Willow because we believe the integrated curriculum and the Virtues Program are the right ways to teach children.” – Faculty “I came to Willow because I was really drawn by the virtues and ethics of the mission and fell in love with the fact that kids played in the woods. Willow was a clear match for me.” – Administrator “My students learn three different ways to subtract. This is the long, hard road to excellence, but it creates mathematicians.” – Faculty “Learning at Willow is based on experiencing and doing. This helps our students build the confidence to go out and ask questions, make connections, and bring those ideas forward.” – Head of School “We’re more of a family. It’s so small and so new, we have the ability to develop strong relationships with each other. You can’t find that at any other school.” – Student 3 OUR COMMUNITY OF DONORS 2010-2011 MR. AND MRS.
