And if you threw a party / Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend
Dear Friends,
Epiphany School offers each of us
the opportunity to lose ourselves
into something real, something
important. Here we can make a
real difference and have a huge
impact in the lives of the marvelous
children who join our community.
You, the friends listed in this report,
have all given of yourselves in some
way, shape, or form to both make
this place possible and ensure its
future—you are all Epiphany stars!
In the pages that follow, I invite
you to read about a handful of
our in-house Epiphany stars. First,
there is our chef, the amazing Sue
Bielamowicz, whose kitchen is a
place where parents, teachers,
volunteers, and students come
together to produce delicious and
nutritious meals in a spirit of love and
hospitality.
Then there’s a story about the great
Janice Pinola, one of our long time
and critically important volunteers,
whose intelligence and quiet
persistence astound us on a daily
basis. When it comes to volunteers,
I always say that we prefer a ‘cactus
over an orchid,’ and Janice is a great
example of why that is. Certainly no
one would describe her as prickly
but, like a cactus, she survives with
almost no help and even blossoms.
We would all do well to follow her
example.
Next, you’ll see a piece that takes
you through a day in the life of Juju,
one of our sixth grade students. In
her story, you’ll get a glimpse of the
strength and resilience embodied by
our children, the majority of whom
spend long, twelve hour days with
us. It’s these children who inspire
everything we do here.
You’ll also see a ‘good news’ update
about Starting Younger, Growing
Stronger, our capital campaign. The
success of this campaign will allow
us to start younger by establishing
a ground breaking Early Learning
Center for infants and toddlers (and,
of course, their families). At the same
time, we will be growing stronger by
increasing our endowment which will
allow us to double its contribution
to the school’s annual operating
expenses. We will also strengthen
our graduate support program,
expand our teacher training, and
2 | Epiphany 2015
44661.indd 2
10/12/15 1:48 PM
create an Epiphany Institute to
share best practices and support
the many “Epiphany-inspired”
schools that have been created all
across America.
Over the past seventeen years,
men and women with vision and
courage have rolled up their
sleeves and given themselves
over to this work, and our Starting
Younger, Growing Stronger efforts
extend that work in ways that
will meaningfully change the
trajectory of our common life.
We need all hands on deck. We
need you. Your loyal generosity,
your commitment, and your
love for others makes this place
what it is, and I cannot thank you
enough.
Your GRATEFUL Fan,
The Rev. John H. Finley IV

Come on-a my house, my house-a come on.
Come on-a my house, my house, I’m-a gonna give you
figs and dates and grapes and a cake, ah!
We eat really well here at Epiphany,
and we have Chef Sue to thank.
Just before meal times, aromas
of a happy kitchen broadcast
that good things are happening,
tastebuds involuntarily prepare to
be delighted, and tummies start
to rumble. Leading a diverse team
of volunteers, parents, teachers,
and students, Chef Sue serves
over 35,000 delicious meals a year
with varied, nutritious and popular
menus. Sue buys locally whenever
possible, teaches the students to
cook, composts all organic material,
and is responsible for Epiphany’s
raised bed gardens.
Sue says, “Introducing and
encouraging kids to eat new, healthy
foods is not a problem—it’s getting
them to eat and like it that’s the
challenge. That’s why my goal is to
prepare meals that appear incredibly
ordinary and familiar, yet taste
incredibly delicious—that way they
can’t help themselves.
My approach to cooking and
crafting a successful recipe is really
quite simple. If I wouldn’t want
to eat it, I’ll never serve it. In my
kitchen, food will always be real and
always be good. Processed foods
are a no-no in my kitchen—where
possible, I use only fresh ingredients,
eliminating the majority of canned,
bottled, and frozen foods as well
as partially prepared and precut
foods. Sauces and marinades
are made from scratch. Chicken
tenders start out as whole chickens.
Snacks include fruit in the morning
and some combination of yogurt,
granola, cheese, and goldfish in the
afternoon. You get the idea.
I’m in love with the work I do at
Epiphany. Every day, I have the
opportunity to make changes to our
food culture. Students who come
4 | Epiphany 2015
44661.indd 4
10/12/15 1:48 PM
to school hungry are presented
with healthy choices from breakfast
straight through dinner. Students
who arrive at Epiphany refusing to
eat vegetables now consider my
Harvest Chili to reign supreme in
their list of food choices, and it’s
nothing but vegetables!
With nonstop exposure to new and
different foods and recipes along
with steadfast encouragement, our
students are continually trying new
things. We are creating a physically
and emotionally nourishing
environment in the kitchen at
Epiphany. I put love and creativity
into the food that I cook, and I reap
the rewards in the smiling faces of
the students and the teachers.”

The struggles I’m facing / The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I’m not breaking
We believe deeply in caring for
the ‘whole child’, not just his or her
intellectual development, but all
aspects of healthy development and
growth. We provide three meals and
two snacks daily to each student, fit
students for glasses, offer hearing
screenings, arrange for psychologists
in private practice to meet with
students, help families access
support from social service agencies,
assist parents looking for work or
housing, and much, much more.
As a ‘full service’ school, Epiphany
combines a rigorous academic
program with personal supports
and the delivery of critically
needed health, prevention, and
social services for each student.
Children do not develop and learn
in isolation, but grow physically,
socially, emotionally, ethically, and
intellectually within networks of
families, schools, neighborhoods,
communities and our larger society
Through collaborative programming
with a large number of established
community agencies, the School
addresses pressing needs that would
otherwise go unmet.

Measured by the Stanford 10 assessment, the average 5th grader (class of
2018) at Epiphany tested below grade level in both reading and language
when they entered school in September. With Epiphany’s intensive

within one academic year.

No matter how far / Just call my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
OnE that you can depend on and never worry
Ask anyone at Epiphany and they’ll
tell you that Janice Pinola is the
consummate volunteer. She goes
above and beyond what is expected
on a daily basis and has yet to refuse
a task of any kind.
She proactively takes on
responsibilities that many of us
would consider to be less than
glamorous, but says she loves these
tasks. And best of all, our students,
faculty, and staff know she genuinely
means it. Through a simple and
incredibly lucky twist of fate for
us, Mrs. Pinola found her way to
Epiphany seven years ago. As long
time purchasing agent for Thayer
Academy at the time, she stepped
up to prepare and serve dinner for
Epiphany students when a previous
commitment was unable to be met,
saving the school from a bit of an
eleventh-hour firedrill. Janice was
instantly hooked by the Epiphany
students and the degree of gratitude
expressed to her small volunteer
group that night. She continued
to help out with dinners but after
retiring from her ‘real’ job, she
upped her commitment to Epiphany
in a big way.
On any typical day, you might find
Mrs. Pinola laundering items to be
returned to their owners or added to
the recycling pile; ordering student
uniforms and tracking inventory;
requesting and negotiating prices
for goods and services; overseeing
workmen, providing direction while
monitoring progress and quality;
orchestrating parking lot plowing
and snow placement; coordinating
rekeying of buildings and ‘new key’
distribution; assisting parents with
financial aid applications for high
school and beyond; vetting cleaning
services; and much, much more.
She has a keen eye for cost
savings opportunities and finds
a way to leverage those skills at
Epiphany every day, returning
significant dollars to the budget.
When something is broken or
something is needed, our minds are
instantly put to ease once it’s been
communicated to Janice. And she is
all in—nothing is too small, too big,
too simple, or too complicated for
her to take on. And take it on she
does, competently and quietly.
Janice says, “While I never wanted
to teach, being around the students
and the faculty is interesting and
quite enjoyable. When planning
for retirement, I think it essential
to have a plan—Epiphany was
part of my plan. Fortunately, it has
worked well for me keeping me
involved and providing a sense of
accomplishment.”

The $25M Starting Younger,
Growing Stronger Capital
Campaign is well underway!
The 22,000 square-foot state of the
art facility and the 7,000 square-feet
of outdoor learning space (in the
city no less!!) will serve 62 children
aged birth to five in a full-service
center (artist rendering p 11). In
addition to offering a high-quality
preschool education for the children,
myriad support services for these
economically disadvantaged families
will also be provided, replicating the
model we’ve seen work so well in
our middle school. In addition, we
will be broadening our educational
reach into the community at large by
providing training and support for
in-home daycare providers serving
Boston’s neighborhoods, of which
there are 100+ in the immediate
neighborhood alone.
Our Graduate and Family Support
team, a cornerstone of our full
service program, will grow to ensure
that our “young graduates” are
placed in high-quality elementary
schools and provided with ongoing
support as they move through
successive years of schooling and
beyond, just as we do with our
middle school graduates. A larger
10 | Epiphany 2015
44661.indd 10
10/12/15 1:48 PM
team and additional space will allow
for an increase in time, energy, and
infrastructure dedicated to much
needed counseling and targeted
programming for all students, as well
as focused mentoring and practical
job training for our high school and
college graduates. With the addition
of the “younger” population to
Epiphany’s fold, our best-in-class
‘Teaching Fellow’ program will
naturally broaden its scope to
accommodate early education
teaching, necessitating a renovation
of existing housing and construction
of 10,000 square-feet of new space.
Through the creation of the Epiphany
Institute, we will broaden existing
efforts to influence education reform
on a national level, train more
educators committed to working in
economically disadvantaged urban
communities, and offer greater
assistance to our 20+ “Epiphanyinspired” sister schools throughout
the country.
Expanding Epiphany’s reach and
full-service model to our youngest
constituents is clearly core to our
Starting Younger, Growing Stronger
Campaign. However, increasing
Epiphany’s endowment is equally
important. The annual support
realized as a result of a healthy and
growing endowment will afford us
the opportunity to continue to offer
a high quality tuition-free education
to our students along with full service
family support.

School days, school days, / Dear old golden
rule days. / ‘Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick.
Meet Juju and read about a typical day
for a sixth grader at Epiphany School.
5:45 – 6:45 My alarm goes off. In
fact, my alarm goes off four times
before I actually get out of bed.
6:45 – 7:15 My mom drives me to
school and we listen to music.
7:15 – 7:50 I arrive at school and
head straight to the cafeteria for
breakfast. Today, we have yogurt,
homemade granola, and fruit. Yum!
7:50 – 7:55 Five minutes to line
up quietly (and I mean quietly!) and
make our way to homeroom.
7:55 – 8:15 In homeroom, Ms.
Bennis checks my homework to
make sure it’s complete (which it
almost always is). I also get to hang
out with my friends until first period.
8:15 – 9:00 Every Friday, we start
the day with DEAR (Drop Everything
and Read.) This is when all four
grades sit in the assembly hall
together and read for 45 minutes.
Whether or not I enjoy it depends on
if I like the book I’m reading—I Know
What You Did Last Summer was a
really good one!
9:00 – 9:45 In my combined
reading and writing class, we are
reading Maniac McGee and using
its story to learn and practice how
to write single paragraph essays
using proper paragraph format: topic
sentences, supporting details, and
concluding sentences.
9:45 – 10:30 Today in science
class, we talked about tornadoes
—how they form very quickly when
different temperatures and humidity
meet. The best part was making
12 | Epiphany 2015
44661.indd 12
10/12/15 1:49 PM
a vortex in a bottle which helped
me to visualize and appreciate the
power of a tornado’s motion!
10:30 – 11:15 Ms. Brice teaches
us about all types of religions. Today
we talked about Christianity and the
many different forms it takes.
11:15 – 12:00 We have two lunch
periods here—sixth grade eats
during first lunch, which is more than
ok with me. This week, I am assigned
to be a waiter. I scrape dishes, wipe
down tables, and sweep the floor.
12:00 – 12:45 45 minutes of
math class, my favorite! We break
into teams to play math operation
games on the computer where
you get points if you click on the
right answer—it makes it so much
more fun. I like that I have to really
think about which of the different
operations I have to use to solve a
specific problem.
12:45 – 1:30 Eucharist takes
place in the Assembly Hall. It’s an
opportunity for the whole school to
come together as one community,
celebrate life, think about others who
may need our prayers and sing great
songs.
1:30 – 2:15 Speaking of singing,
music class is all about that. We are
already starting to learn the songs
for the Christmas Pageant.
2:15 – 3:00 For Reading
Enrichment, I read aloud to work
on my pronunciation and learn new
words. We talk about what I read to
make sure I understand it.
3:00 – 3:30 In X block, you can do
lots of different things. You can do
homework, you can get one-on-one
help, or you can meet with a teacher
if you have something on your mind.
Today, I met with Ms. Bennis to work
on a homework assignment I didn’t
quite understand.
3:30 – 3:45 Phew! 15 minutes to
get myself organized for the rest of
the day.
3:45 – 5:15 This is the time set
aside for evening study for the 5th
and 6th grades. As much as I don’t
like doing homework (I mean, does
anyone really?), I do like that I can
get most of it, if not all, done before
getting home. I also like that there
is help right here if I get stuck on an
assignment.
5:15 – 5:45 Dinnertime for all.
Tonight’s is a winner: Shepherd’s Pie!
5:45 – 7:15 Physical Education
closes out the day. Mr. Wilson
says it’s important that 5th and 6th
graders prepare for the competitive
sports we’ll be playing in 7th and
8th grades, so we work on building
the right body structure for such
things. Tonight, we did our regular
drills of stretching, calisthenics, and
running; followed by the skill builder
of dribbling a basketball. With extra
time at the end, we played ‘Capture
the Flag’; it’s my favorite game!
7:15 – 7:30 My aunt picks me up
and drives me home.
7:30 – 8:00 Still a little bit of
homework to do...
9:30 Zzzzzz...

Many of the students who come to Epiphany are among the most vulnerable in
the city with significant academic deficits and social-emotional needs, which could
impact their future success, but ALL of them are full of promise and potential. To
ensure their success, Epiphany stays with students for the long haul – a commitment
that really sets us apart from other schools. Our generous “Last Dollar” Scholarship
Fund helps fill in the financial gaps that may prohibit high school matriculation.
Epiphany’s abiding support for graduates does not end at high school. From
college counseling to help with essay writing and financial aid forms, we engage
with our graduates as they embark on the next educational chapter. Finally, our
Graduate Support team helps students find employment, internships, training
programs, and more.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
Epiphany’s ambitious goals require
sound financial management.
The generous people who invest
in this school must know that
here resources are managed
prudently. Our Trustees, therefore,
approach our finances in a very
conservative manner. Together with
our experienced Business Office
staff, they consistently ensure that
this school can live up to to its
commitment “to never give up on a
child” without either wasting money
or finding ourselves unprepared
to meet our responsibilities. For
example, Epiphany has a history of
maintaining a balanced budget and
currently has no debt. In addition,
we fully fund our building reserve so
that major capital expenses do not
catch us by surprise. If the roof goes
or the furnace quits, we have the
resources on hand to repair them.
We also keep a reasonable operating
reserve for the lean summer months
when donations traditionally slow
down and we have even developed
a modest endowment.
All these financial matters and
more are open for review. As with
our academic results, Epiphany is
transparent with its finances. Our
annual audits are shared publicly,
and the school is regularly assessed
independently through services like
Charity Navigator and Guidestar,
where we consistently earn high
ratings. We know that healthy
accountability is good for our school
and produces strong results.

“Kind & Generous”
Natalie Merchant, “Ophelia” (1998)
You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
And for everything you’ve done
You know I’m bound...
I’m bound to thank you for it
You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you
So for everything you’ve done
You know I’m bound...
I’m bound to thank you for it
I want to thank you
For so many gifts
You gave with love and tenderness
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For your generosity
The love and the honesty
That you gave me
I want to thank you
Show my gratitude
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

mission statement
Epiphany School is an independent, tuition-free middle school
for children of economically disadvantaged families from
BOSTON neighborhoods.
We admit children of diverse faiths, races, cultures, and
cognitive profiles, believing in the Episcopal tradition that
we find God in and through each other’s presence.
Epiphany’s small classes, individualized curricula, and
extended school days provide rigorous academic, moral,
and social instruction. In close partnership with families, we
are an innovative learning community that affords structured
support to help students thrive.
Together we
are a school that never gives up on a child.
Epiphany challenges students to discover and develop
the fullness of their individual gifts. We seek to prepare
graduates who will contribute intelligently, morally, and
actively to the society they will inherit.
