Annual Report - Bellevue Schools Foundation
Annual Report TO THE COMMUNITY . 2014-2015 BILL DEJARLAIS & LYNN JUNIEL President and Executive Director Bellevue Schools Foundation WE’RE GRATEFUL for this opportunity to report on the positive impact you, our donors and community, made for Bellevue students and teachers over the past year. We hope you feel the same sense of energy and pride as you reflect on the successes fueled by your philanthropy. 2014–2015 was a time of change and growth. Our Board of Trustees and a specially formed Committee created an ambitious new 5-year Strategic Plan. This will serve as a framework and catalyst for us as we work together with you to achieve some incredible goals—the most significant being to double our investment in our students and schools over the next five years. We also conducted a highly professional and thorough national search to select a new Executive Director to lead our team forward as we embrace our bold vision. The careful and conscientious selection process truly reflected the excellence of our schools and the reasons many of us choose to raise our families and operate our businesses in Bellevue. We are thrilled to have Lynn Juniel on our team as a deeply qualified and passionate advocate for education. For those who have not met her, we look forward to introducing you. Finally, here is a sample of some of the success stories you make possible: • The Early Literacy Intervention program is closing the reading achievement gap in our high-poverty elementary schools by third grade, an important benchmark for long-term student success. • With your support, 48 more Bellevue educators became National Board Certified Teachers. Bellevue has the most NBCTs in Washington. Research shows that teachers with this certification raise student achievement. • Donor-funded programs have elevated learning across the K-12 system. On the most recent Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), Bellevue sophomores scored higher than students from Singapore, Hong Kong and Finland. We hope you truly enjoy reading the stories contained in this report, and join us in celebrating all of our many donors and supporters. We can’t wait to show you what will be possible in 2016 and beyond with your investment in Bellevue students. Sincerely, 1 Bill DeJarlais President Lynn Juniel Executive Director “I VALUE the strong partnership between the school district and the Bellevue Schools Foundation. The community support that the district receives through donations to the Foundation allows us to innovate, improve curriculum and instruction, and support the needs of our students. From coding in our elementary schools to launching the AP Capstone project this year, we couldn’t have done it without the Foundation and our community’s desire to invest in our students and schools.” — Dr. Tim Mills, Superintendent Bellevue School District 2 DONORS MAKE A DIFFERENCE Selected 2014-2015 Program Highlights Transforming Education Elementary STEM Initiative built a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) for 6,445 Preschool–5th grade students. Project-Based Learning in Advanced Placement Physics I helped engage students enrolled in a new Advanced Placement (AP) Physics course developed in collaboration with the George Lucas Educational Foundation and University of Washington researchers. Sammamish High School i3/STEM supported the problem-based Sammamish Leads summer program and moved Sammamish High School toward a full STEM focused Project-Based Learning program. Supporting Students Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) taught 586 middle and high school students college prep study skills to boost academic achievement. College & Career Next Steps introduced 10,456 students to college, career and post-secondary education possibilities through 24-hour access to the cloud-based Naviance college-planning platform. Volunteers In Bellevue’s Education System (VIBES) provided 7,392 students with mentors for one-on-one tutoring, classroom support, AVID study skills coaching, College Corps application assistance, and STEM mentoring. Project Readiness: Every Child Ready To Learn bridged the early learning gap in kindergarten and first grade at six high-poverty schools, helping students meet literacy benchmarks to become strong readers by third grade. Changing Lives 100% of AVID Seniors took AP/IB classes, applied to college and graduated. 82% of students matched with a VIBES mentor improved in academics.

A senior at Sammamish High School, Clariz sets the rhythm for her day in zero period jazz class at 6:30 a.m. Throughout the day, she’ll also play center snare for the Sammamish Marching Band. Oh, and she serves as a section leader for concert band, as well. “Through the Foundation’s music grant to the district, we have been able to acquire new instruments for students to use that are out of reach for individual families, including the equipment for our new drum line,” says Cory Edwards, Sammamish’s band teacher. Clariz says the professional equipment that her high school can now acquire creates unique opportunities for students. “You never have these opportunities in life where you’ve got this thousand-dollar equipment, and someone is saying ‘Do you want to play it?’ How great it is that we have these things. It makes it feel real,” Clariz says. Combined with rigorous classes like calculus and AP Computer Science, Clariz’s load sounds like a complex symphony, but she says that the skills and patience she learns in music resonate in her other classes as well. “I see myself during calculus, and I’ll think ‘I just don’t get this,’ but I know it takes time. That’s where I get my patience from.” Ditto for AP Computer Science, she says. “Programming and writing code are like learning music theory.” Even after the school day ends, Clariz often meets up with other music students. Thanks to donor funded music grants, the beat goes on. Donors funded more than $25,000 for instrument purchases and repairs, and specialized clinics for music programs in our schools. 5 $500+ Anonymous (13) Preeti Agarwal Suren & Irma Aghajanyan Julie Allen Larry & Kelly Almeleh Lisa & Jon Anderson Cristi & Eric Arthur Kathy & Eric Artz Leo Backer Tony & Amy Bacon Eric & Martha Bailey Vaijayanti Bal & Moreshwar Deshpande Susanne Banks Sarah & Lonny Bastien Norman & Kristina Beauchamp Brenda & Chuck Bedrosian John & Kumi Bellay Iskender & Valerie Berberoglu Jessica Rossman & Peter Berger Pablo & Tiffany Bernal Jeffrey Beyle & Ramsay Ringo Eric J. & Elaine Bidstrup Arnold Blinn & Leslie Brewer Christopher & Kristin Bodiford Paul Bogel & Ann Smith Russ Borgmann & Andrea Sato Borgmann Cheri Bortleson Jim Boudreau & Kristine Flugstad Eric & Melissa Brandenfels Steven Breyer & Rosalie Gann Jenny & Steve Brooks Jane Broom Danny & Jennifer Brown Vernon & Dolores Brunner Neil S & Christine Buckley Bruce & Gwen Burks Daniel Casey & Marin McEntyre Christa & David Chambers Pin-Hsien Chang & Hui-Chun Hsu Roger Cheng Christi Clark & Ivan Mendoza LeighAnne & Alexander Colbert Eva Collins Scott Collins & Susan Edison Matthew & Wendy Costello Jody Cunningham & Mark Mennella Michael & Marla Dahlin Nilakshi Das Gina & Shawn Davis Devesh & Shikha Desai Aarti & Rahul Deshpande Craig & Whitney DeVine Beverly & Michael Doleac Gail & Pedro Domingos Michele Donahou Chris Dreher Kip & Michale Durrell Charles & Deborah Eberhardt Cheryl Ebner Heather Edlund Duane Edwards Erin Edwards Adrian Eftenie Ahmed Elabbasy Paul England & Elisabeth Kirschner John & Christine Enslein David Fandel & Heather Sherman Kenneth & Diane Fern Jennifer & Kurt Fischer Sean & Eileen Foley Jeff & Terri Forsberg Mehran & Rima Fotoohi Erik Frimodig Niraj Gandhi Federico & Jessica Garcia Dave & Jo Bonnie Gartenberg Greg & Amy Glockner Donald Grant Sarah Gray Andrew & Hillary Greene Deborah & Scott Grover Nick Hagan Amanda & Marcus Hahnemann Patrick & Beth Halvorsen Renee & Ken Haniu Seetharaman & Meera Harikrishnan Scott & Christine Hemnes Ted & Jodi Herb Timothy & Anya Hnateyko Xuedong & Ginger Huang Christopher Hubbard Mildred Jammer Regi John John Rudolf Family Foundation Beatha Johnson Dina Johnson Richard & Beverly Johnson Rod & Maryhelen Johnson Field Turf Paul & Naoka Jones Roderick & Tara Jones Ernest A. & Gretchen Jonson Krian Julapalli Samuel Kabue Jonathan & Laura Kagle Tahreem Kampton I-Feng Kao & Renee Wu David & Jennifer Karls Harry Katz & Anne Reece Brett & Dori Kelleran Nazanin Kimiai & Mehron Abdollahi Peter & Sandra Koo Mark & Julia Krill Herman Kwik & Jeani Littrell-Kwik Mark & Harumi La Shell Rebecca Laughlin Won & Caroline Lee John Leece & Karen Tsuo Karen Leung & Kit Yiu Jeff Lin & Sarah Pak-Lin Sharon & Bill Linton Carl & Donna Little Linde Liu Peter Loforte Susan & Gabriel Loh Kevin & Cindy Lohman Ming Lu Amy & Chris MacDonald Ana & Gustavo Mahler Alka & Sanjay Manchanda Ed & Koan Maurer David & Priscilla McAughan Nicholas & Cheryl McClure Steven & Laura McKean Rajnish & Kushi Mehrotra Marlo Menti Rowe & Bjorgvin Higgins Tomas & Liz Mereckis Mark & Tia Mikols Wady Milner & Matthew Roberts Kyung Min Soumya Mishra Tiffany & Monty Montoya Kalyani Narlanka & Srihari Gopala Narba David Nicholson Matthew & Mary Ellen Nickerson Abhiram Nukalapati Paul Ogawa Oscar & Carolyn Oliveira Gilbert Ong & Alvina Won Nerelys Ortiz Melanie Pang & Tim Stapelman Valerie & Jerry Parrish David & Allison Patton Dan & Kathryn Pecha Matt Pedersen & Meribeth Nordloef-Pedersen Liwei Peng Sophie & Xavier Pereira Carl E. & Mary V.

Since Bellevue Schools Foundation made its first investment in elementary STEM—including Ardmore Elementary as part of the first-year pilot—Gabriella has had exposure to computer programming, robotics, and even technology in art class. However, when you are a fifth-grader like Gabriella, friendships are really important. “During recess, I often play with other students that I worked with in science that I have never played with before,” says Gabriella with a dimpled smile. Gabriella thoughtfully explains one of her favorite STEM challenges: a team engineering challenge. Her team used the engineering design process, along with marshmallows, tape, string and a cardboard box, to build a structure. “STEM projects are exciting and interesting and help me work well with others,” she says. We were very proud of our teamwork and success and high-fived each other when we finished. When I grow up, I want to be an engineer so I can do more of this kind of work.” Ardmore Assistant Principal Chris Jones describes Gabriella as a strong, confident student—especially when it comes to science. With the new STEM challenges, she blossomed into a natural leader. “Gabriella is a wonderful community citizen and we see this through her demonstration of respect and perseverance. She is a fantastic role model.” He explains how STEM has had a remarkable impact on the entire school. “We are inherently reinforcing the beauty of divergent and critical thinking from kindergarten through 5th grade. This program has helped to develop and sustain a culture of friendliness, resiliency and grit.” Donors helped 6,445 students at 10 elementary schools explore STEM through engineering design challenges, robotics, and coding. 8 $250+ (continued) 9 William & HyAnne Neff Sean Newsum & Sarah Shaw-Newsum Jeffery & Rebecca Nord Jeffrey & Liz Norton Oswald & Rayma Norton Lesley & Brent Novotny Sanaz Nowtash Bruce & Bernice Nurse Kevin & Donna Nyhuis Michael & Penny O’Byrne Lauren & Price Oden Erin O’Leary & Seth Hanser Mary Olin Brent & Vicki Orrico Timothy Osborn Hamilton & Marie Oswald Scott Paige Jayant & Shruti Pant Carolyn & Craig Paulson Yuval & Deborah Peres Rose Petersen Jeff Peterson Randi & Rick Peterson Sarah Peyton Rosella Picado & Yonnel Gardes Jeff & Elysa Piha Roger & Christine Pihl Gopal Pillai & Parvathy Ramanathan Paul Pineda Carlos & Sabrina Pinto Greg Porter Julia & Benson Porter Arrow Pride & Tara O’Brien Pride Jim & Monica Privat Mae & Boonsien Quah Mark & Jane Quehrn Heiko & Sarah Rahmel Kannan Ramasubramanian & Kothai Nandaswamy Marc Ramsey Sachin & Vaishali Rao James & Pamela Rauch Dina & Ratna Ray Jenna & Nick Rensch Nari Rhee Edwin Rhim & Audrey Lee Mindy Richardson Liz & Gareth Ritz Jeffrey & Patricia Roberts Barbara L. & Paul S.

She wants to do meaningful work, and is grateful that she has already learned and benefitted from caring adults who provide the opportunities for students to achieve their dreams. When Bellevue Schools Foundation donors funded Naviance, a comprehensive college and career software program that helps students apply to college, the aim was to help students manage the often-overwhelming college admissions process. Tibaria enthusiastically described the help she got from Prep Me, Naviance’s free online SAT and ACT study program. “It was such a relief to have that,” she says. “All the SAT practice books were checked out from the library for months and taking a class was not an option for me. Prep Me was very accessible because it was online, plus it timed practice tests, which was realistic. That’s all I had to rely on to study for my SAT’s, which thankfully turned out well.” Tibaria’s counselor, Alicia Williams, also praises Prep Me. “It’s priceless for a big group of kids whose parents don’t have an extra $800,” she says. “All of the announcements and reminders … they are amazing! I really didn’t Tibaria also credits Naviance with helping her keep her college application chores organized. “I just needed all that organization, because I’m not good at time management mean to do this, but I was or calendaring,” she says, pausing for a moment to smile. “I shouldn’t say ‘not good’. It’s a close to being a little lastgrowth area.” second on some letters Tibaria is a first-generation American, and the very process of applying to college is foreign to and college application her family. Tibaria says the mixture of donor-supported AVID, her teachers and counselors will stuff.” help her achieve her college dream. “They have utter faith in us going to college,” she says. 11 —Tiberia Alnouri Up to $249 (continued) Joan Valaas Ferguson & Geoffrey Ferguson Inhee Ferrick Alicia Filippini Betina Finley Judith & Steve Fisher Mark & Jennifer Fisher Tadese Fissiha Kevin Flanagan Shelley & Robert Flores Patricia Flores Teresita & James Fong Caryl Forbes Lee & Sally Fouche Scott & Anna Fowler Pauline & Will Fox Dedre Fox Sean & Mari Jo Fraser Gretchen Frederick John & Mary Fredericksen Tiffany Frederickson Catherine & Milford Free Carl & Susan Freeberg Douglas & Julianne Freeman Aude Frevol Nanette & Steven P.

Xander thought the club could be a fun way to learn about satellites and space as well as a way to meet friends. But when Xander learned at his first club meeting that he would be designing, building, and launching a satellite into near space, he was, well, over the moon. The Tyee Satellite Club, supported by donors through the Foundation’s Enrichment & Innovation grant program, inspires Xander and his new friends to learn 3-D design software, research scientific sensors, build circuit boards, fit cameras, program microcomputers, and package it all into a 6-inch cube that weighs less than a pound. But it’s not all labwork. Last spring, the club launched 30 satellites into near space (90,000+ feet) in Eastern Washington and recovered them about 40 miles from the launch site. “It was exciting to see our satellites go up and track them with GPS,” says Xander. Asked about the impact of this deeper learning on himself and his schoolmates, Xander’s excitement shows. “It’s awesome! It changed my life. I know I want to do something with space, engineering design, and collaboration.” Tyee teacher and club advisor James Burke emphasizes the ripple effects for the kids, as individuals and as a team. “This is real STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). The kids do it all. They code, they research, they design, they collaborate. The sooner we can get kids working together on a technical team and collaborating, the sooner they are doing high-level engineering.” Donors funded106 Enrichment and Innovation grants; allowing teachers at every school to bring learning alive, in and out of the classroom. 14 Up to $249 (continued) 15 Hai Ge Mo & Hui Ying Ye Ilene Moe Jonathan Leif Moe-Lobeda Igor Mokhnatkin & Olga Andreichenko Jessica Monroy Robin Moore & Devin Smith Julie & Harlan Moore Karin & Rich Morgan Elizabeth Morgan Justin & Michiko Morgan Alan & Kim Morris Terry & Douglas Morrison Alyssa Morrissette Jane Morton Todd Morton Fabien & Laura Mousseau Nancy Mowat Bryan Muchmore & Jacqueline Bays-Muchmore Elizabeth & Ryan Mullenix Patricia Mulligan & Robert Carter Thomas & Laurie Mullins Lisa Meechel Munger Carolyn Munro-Swett & Alberto Swett Adrian & Alexandrina Muntianu Vivian Murray Kuwabo Mwila Sandy & Chris Myerchin Michelle Myers Robert Myhran & Lisa McMahon-Myhran Roger Myklebust & Rebecca Bourdeau Aran Mysore & Harihara Neelakantan Zlatko & Linda Nalis Koichiro & Miyuki Nandate Brian & Kristin Nash Keyle & Janice Nasu Lee Nave & Maura Sullivan Kristina & Lance Nelson Leigh & Geoffrey Nelson Nataeia Nesmeianova Astrid & Daniel Ness Amir & Merav Netz Scott & Anna Newton Tina & Terry Ngo Quang Nguyen Thoa Nguyen & Binh Vu Doan Huu Nguyen & Kieu Tuyet Le Dan & Denise Niles Theresa Nix & Lukas Van Ginneken Marguerite Noblitt Lisa & Robert Northey Conrad & Cori Notton Karen & Robert Novotny Kevin & Kim Oakes Pritvinath & Vijaya Obla Greg & Linda O’Byrne Ma Carmen Ocampo Thomas O’Connor Shilo & Chris O’Connor Tim Oden Irene Oemar & Robbi Tampi Thank You Karyn & Tim O’Hara Chris O’Hara & Laura Murton Shari & Mark Ojendyk Jill O’Keefe Patrick & Anette Olney Allison O’Mahony Dayton & Yukiko Ono Keith Onstot & Jacquie Mero Debbie Opstad & Edwin Lars Carol Orr Luis Ortega Edward & Basilisa Ovalles Andrea Owre Ann & Gregory Oxrieder Andrew & Marcia Palk Dorthy Pan & Jay Ongg Suresh Pandurangam & Sowmiya Selvaraj Geraldine Pappas Mazie & Ray Park Chloe Park James & Christie Park Jaeyeon Park Paul & Vicky Park Hyelee & James Park Brett & Victoria Parmacek Deborah & Jeffrey Parsons Dave & Jennifer Pascho Sonia Pasewark Sowmya Pattabhi Deepa Patten Joe & Allison Patterson Stanley & Lisa Pavlovsky Ramin & Lisa Pazooki Melissa Pearce Scott & Becky Peck Suzanne & Allen Peery Robert & Donna Peha David & Satomi Pellerin Jasmel & Samuel Penjaraenwatana Radh Penugonda & Kishore Kumar Kris Pepper Erica Pereira Kubr Alma & Joel Pereyra Jaime Perez Grace & Roy Person Alex & Kathleen Peter-Contesse Brent W. & Christina Peterman James & Diane Peterson Mark Peterson Louis Peterson & Mary Crego Craig Peterson Pavlo & Oleksandra Petrenko Martine Pettenaro & Hans Lund Alan & Loan Pham Charles & Pamela Phillips Roy Phillips Phillip & Linh Tran Phung Gretchen & David Pingree Chris Pirnke Marie-Sophie Poli & Mike Hausenfluck Satya V.S.

Michelle Winery Crate & Barrel Heavy Restaurant Group Baker Rawlings, Depth of Field Photography Social Venture Partners Tutta Bella Zeek’s Pizza Laura Zimmerman Photography INVESTING TIME & TALENT Manisha Chainani, Foundation Volunteer Manisha Chainani works tirelessly to improve educational opportunities in Bellevue, as well as in her native India through PrathamUSA. When her youngest son started attending Cherry Crest Elementary School in third grade, Manisha became a Foundation Ambassador on the first day of school “I would not be in any other school district than Bellevue, and that is because of the Bellevue Schools Foundation,” she says. An indefatigable volunteer, Manisha helps other parents—through her own passion for education—understand the critical role the Foundation plays in fostering excellence in Bellevue schools. When Manisha joined the Enrichment & Innovation Grants committee in 2014, she saw her impact at the Foundation soar. Enrichment and Innovation grants support teacher-led projects that extend curriculum, encourage higher-level thinking, and enrich learning through culture, art, music, field trips and other activities. Manisha’s analytical skills and fire to provide the best learning opportunities for all students led her to the Foundation’s Grantmaking committee. In this role, she and her fellow committee members advise the Board of Trustees on funding of all program grants, including district-wide grants which have an even deeper effect on learning throughout the district. Manisha also gets a kick out of the Foundation’s impact in her own family. Her son came home from school one day, excited about his introduction to computer coding, another Foundation-funded program. “I wouldn’t have been able to get my son excited about programming if it wasn’t for BSF,” she says. “That energizes me, because I know what a difference Bellevue Schools Foundation is making.” We strive to provide accurate recognition for all of our volunteers and sincerely apologize for any errors or omissions. 20 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW September 1, 2014 – August 31, 2015 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION For the twelve months ended August 31, 2015 August 31, 2015 Cash & Cash Equivalents $191,662 Pledges Receivable $269,745 Operating Reserve $377,410 Endowments$731,005 Temporarily Restricted Scholarships $184,914 Other$7,133 Total Assets $1,761,869 Support & Revenue Sources Individuals$1,312,261 Corporations $464,507 Foundations, Organizations, $147,573 Clubs & Memorials In-Kind Contributions $174,802 Investment Income ($16,336) Total Support & Revenue $2,082,807 Expenses Program Services Supporting Services Development & Fundraising General & Administrative In-Kind Total Expenses $1,169,215 $299,670 $155,663 $174,802 $1,799,350 Change in Net Assets Net Assets Beginning of Period Net Assets End of Period $283,457 $1,372,136 $1,655,593 Total Liabilities Total Net Assets Total Liabilities & Net Assets $106,276 $1,655,593 $1,761,869 EXPENSE RATIO Program Services Gross Expenses Supporting Services Total $1,190,186 $609,164 $1,799,350 $20,971 $153,831 $174,802 $210,950 $210,950 $244,383 $1,413,598 Less: In-kind expenses Offset by certain other support: Sponsorships Net Expenses $1,169,215 Net Expense Ratio TOTAL REVENUE—$2,082,807 INDIVIDUALS ($1,312,261) CORPORATIONS ($464,507) TOTAL EXPENSES—$1,799,350 PROGRAM SERVICES ($1,169,215) DEVELOPMENT & FUNDRAISING ($299,670)) IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS ($174,802) IN-KIND ($174,802) FOUNDATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, CLUBS & MEMORIALS ($147,573) GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE ($155,663) INVESTMENT INCOME (-$16,336) 21 17.29% PROGRAM GRANT DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMING EDUCATION ($522,417) PROJECT READINESS ($276,725) STUDENT & TEACHER SUPPORT ($183,975) SCHOOL-BASED GRANTS ($129,961) COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ($44,621) DONOR-DESIGNATED ($16,450) LEAVE A LEGACY: Add the Foundation to Your Estate Plan The Foundation’s Legacy Circle honors individuals who have taken action to provide for Bellevue’s future public school children through their estate plans.
