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.

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.

Keeping the Founders’ Promise through Scholarship and Endowment Gifts
By donating to the Founders’ Promise Fund (FPF) for Scholarship or one of its three endowments
(FPF Endowment, David and Marcia MacLane Endowment for Scholarship, and the Class of 2014
Endowment for Scholarship), you are giving more and more children the opportunity to maintain that
open atmosphere of learning that our founders envisioned nearly 60 years ago. 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 David and Marcia MacLane Endowment for Scholarship—In Honor of the
First Head of School
Once again this year, Duncan MacLane ’64 and his wife JoAnn, reissued a challenge grant for the
David and Marcia MacLane Endowment for Scholarship, established to honor the memory of his
parents who were integral in helping to establish the values of a Country School education. 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.

Class of 2014 Endowment for Scholarship
New this year, is the Class of 2014 Endowment for Scholarship. 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.

Golf Classic 2014
We were making birdies and bogies while our students just started their summer break. The third annual
Golf Classic was held at New Haven Country Club on June 24, 2014. Revenue for this event totaled
$45,175.08 and proceeds benefit the Founders’ Promise Fund for Scholarship. We wholeheartedly thank
the players, sponsors, and volunteers who made this event such a success and provided funds to make it
possible for students to attend The Country School who otherwise could not.

Alumni Donors
More than 1000 individuals call themselves Country School alumni, and we are proud of every one of them.
Our alumni, in fact, spend many more years close to their alma mater as a former student throughout their

We thank all alumni who contributed to this year’s Annual Campaign and who connected with us through
notes, e-mails, Facebook, Twitter, web site, and Alumni Gatherings in New Haven on April 27, New York City
on May 16, and Oxford University on June 3. We are grateful for your continued involvement with your alma
mater and always look forward to hearing from you. Please visit our web site at thecountryschool.org where
you can check out your class notes (click on “Alumni” on the top of the home page) and give us updates on
your and your classmates’ whereabouts and pursuits.

Grandparents
"If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I’d have had them first." ~Lois Wyse
We are grateful to the many grandparents who generously support our school through their financial
gifts. And each year we welcome over 200 individuals to campus for the gift of Grandparents and Special
Friends Day, which this year was held on May 9. We cherish the connection across the generations!

Basketball Uniforms
A huge thank you and “swish” to new alumnus Oliver Zane '14, who took it upon himself during his
8th grade year to lead a fundraising effort to purchase new basketball uniforms for The Country
School. 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.
Oliver had donations from an array of people – including TCS alumni, current parents and alumni
parents, and others. Thank you to all of our donors!

tax-sensible way for people to take care of themselves and then take care of your school. Thank you
to those individuals who have made this type of gift to The Country School.

Spring Gala 2014
What an unforgettable evening! 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!

Report of Giving
Class of 2014 Gift
The 8th grade students this year chose a renovation to the intermediate and middle school hallways and the cafeteria
and Faculty Room as their legacy gift to The Country School. 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!
