2013 - 2014 Report of Giving
2013 - 2014 Report of Giving Dear Country School Community, The students this year are learning about and demonstrating the many ways they can show RESPONSIBILITY at school, in their homes, and with their friends. And you have all shown tremendous responsibility in caring for The Country School financially throughout the 2013-2014 academic year, which this Report of Giving captures. Through your generosity and through your gifts in kind and many volunteer hours, so much was made possible: • 25% of our students were able to attend The Country School through your financial aid support, students who otherwise would have been denied this education; • New lockers were installed by the 8th Grade families and the cafeteria and faculty room enhanced in honor of their children and in gratitude to their teachers; • The endowment grew to its highest level ever, as 52 gifts came in targeted to the endowment; • The envy of many peer schools, for at least the 9th year in a row 100% of the faculty and staff gave to the Annual Fund; • Over 80% of all current families supported the Annual Fund; • The Board gave 27% of the total gifts to the school this year, and 100% of all Board members participated in Annual Giving; • More than 30 donors in 30 days contributed to the David and Marcia MacLane Endowment for Scholarship, successfully meeting the challenge put forth by the first Headmaster’s son and his wife, Duncan and JoAnn MacLane; • And because of the success of the MacLane Challenge, an anonymous family generously donated an additional $60,000 to scholarship in honor of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the school. Those accomplishments and the accomplishments from the previous two years are part of Dr. Laurie Bottiger's strong legacy. A publication like this cannot properly capture the influential role of a head in creating a "can do" attitude on campus that leads to exploration, risk taking, and stretching. Laurie can be proud of all she helped our school achieve and she will always have our admiration for the many initiatives she put in place to serve children. I take the occasion of this publication to thank the many volunteers—current parents, alumni, staff and teachers—who gave thousands of hours to make our events so successful. It truly "takes a village," and I feel blessed that this school has so many people who give selflessly of their time. What a powerful example to our students! Special thanks to Suzanne Sliker, PTA President, for her visionary organization, her ability to attract and support and thank volunteers, and her above-and-beyond effort in also chairing the Spring Auction, which generated an amazing number of gifts and funds for financial aid and brought so many friends together to celebrate our school. I look backward with pride on all this school accomplished for its fortunate students. And I look forward with excitement for what our Board of Trustees has planned as we progress next year to the 60th Anniversary of our founding. Again, thank you for all you have done and thank you for all you will do. John D. Fixx Head of School 2013-2014 Report of Giving 1 Mission Statement At The Country School, we are committed to creating an environment which is both academically challenging and responsive to the social and emotional needs of growing children. Encouraging close relationships among students and teachers and cooperation between home and school, we foster a feeling of family. The school community strives to nurture each child, valuing his or her unique gifts in an atmosphere of mutual respect. The traditional disciplines of reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign language form the core of our academic program. Because we seek to educate the whole child, the school is also committed to a vital arts program, strong offerings in physical education, and challenging opportunities for individual growth. Our teaching is spirited and promotes active learning. We provide experiences which are sensitive to different learning styles and stages of development. We guide students to discover their own strengths and develop confidence in their abilities to learn. Our program is rich and flexible, offering many pathways to success. We recognize our responsibility to prepare students to meet not just academic challenges, but personal and ethical ones as well. Our faculty provides leadership for character development, guiding students toward self-reliance. We encourage our students to look beyond themselves, to work cooperatively with others, and to serve their communities and the larger world. We expect much of our students, because we believe they have much to give. As we honor the creativity, sense of wonder and exuberance in childhood, we hope to stir in our students enthusiasm for learning as an exciting, lifelong activity. We work to equip each student with a solid mastery of essential skills, healthy self-esteem, and a clear sense of values. At The Country School, we strive to empower young people to reach their highest, not only in school but also in life. 2 2013-2014 Report of Giving Summary of Gifts July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED 2013-2014 Endowment The Founders’ Promise Fund for Scholarship David and Marcia MacLane Endowment for Scholarship Class of 2014 Endowment for Scholarship The Country School Endowment Endowment Total Annual Giving Unrestricted Gifts Founders’ Promise Fund for Scholarship Annual Giving Total $41,000.00 $43,992.11 $760.00 $240.00 $85,992.11 $223,358.57 $57,400.05 $280,758.62 Restricted Giving $29,284.81 The Gift in Honor of the Class of 2014 (Locker, cafeteria, faculty room and hallway refurbishment) $40,765.00 Special Events Spring Auction and Harvest Dinner Third Annual Golf Classic Special Events Total $74,161.51 $45,175.08 $119,336.59 Grand Total Contributions $556,137.13 2013-2014 Report of Giving 3 Great effort has been made to ensure an accurate and thorough Annual Report of Giving for 2013-2014.

These gifts help make The Country School affordable for a wide range of students, bringing to our community the many benefits of social and economic diversity. In 2013-2014, 25% of our students benefitted from your generosity and received an education that will last a lifetime. Down the road, we hope and expect that today’s recipients of funds will donate to the next generation the same academic advantage.

The overall challenge was to have at least 30 people donate $30,000 by June 30. This community appeal reached $30,035.11 from 39 donors! Thank you! Because of this success, Duncan, JoAnn, and three other close families honored their initial pledge of $15,000, and an anonymous family committed an additional $60,000 for scholarship! That $60,000 gift is one of the largest single donations in the 58year history of The Country School. We are grateful.

Established by the graduating 8th grade students—who have clearly learned philanthropy from their generous parents—this fund is their way of giving back to The Country School and helping another generation of children experience the active learning, spirited teaching, and individual growth at The Country School that they enjoyed during their time here. Thank you, Class of 2014, for looking beyond yourselves and establishing a way to share your experiences at The Country School with future students. Christopher E. Arrandale '14 Isabel M.

His endeavor was successful, and the boys’ varsity basketball team sported new Nike jerseys all season. Many thanks to everyone who answered Oliver’s call and helped him grow in leadership.

Many thanks to everyone who made the annual Country School auction such a fun and successful event. Close to 150 friends joined us at The Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme owned by Betsey and Jeff Cooley P '99, '00, '04, '05, a former Country School trustee and parent. We are grateful to Betsey and Jeff for donating the use of their gallery for the evening and to former trustee Wil Bradford P '93, '96, '00, our talented and entertaining auctioneer; and to former trustee Mary Dangremond P '01, '06, who reprised her role from Country School auctions of yore, enticing everyone to join in on the bidding. Income from the event generated more than $50,000 to support The Country School's Annual Fund and help close the gap between tuition and what it actually costs to educate each student. None of this could have been accomplished without the help of our imaginative and dedicated Spring Auction Committee, led by the tireless and supremely creative Suzanne Sliker P '19, '22. Thank you to all of our attendees and our enthusiastic and generous bidders and donors of items. We all created a memory to last a lifetime!

Thanks to the Class of 2014 and to their parents for providing during spring break all-new and much roomier lockers, a sparkling new blue and gold floor in the hallway, and a new floor in the cafeteria. The walls were also painted and new trim added. In short, it was a complete transformation for a very visible—and highly trafficked—part of campus. Thank you, students and parents!
