Lair, PhD Vanessa Sendukas Chair Stephen Lovejoy Head of Middle School Margaret Ann Casseb Head of Admissions From the Head of School St. Francis Episcopal Day School | 335 Piney Point Road | Houston, Texas 77024 | 713.458.6148 | www.StFrancisHouston.org I n May 2013, I watched students I welcomed to St. Francis as two-year-olds walk across our stage and graduate from eighth grade. Many of them started here the same year I did, and I am convinced that their poise, kindness, intelligence, and generosity of spirit are products of both great parenting and great schooling. As I watched, I began mulling over our school’s mission statement and started to wonder: How long does it really take to challenge and motivate students in an academically and spiritually stimulating environment to become imaginative, critical thinkers and people for others? As Head of School, my answer would likely be the same as our graduates’ parents: years that comprise countless, captured teachable moments. St. Francis is blessed to be able to begin nurturing our students during the preschool years, which allows our faculty to help shape their minds and hearts that much sooner. Our class of 2013 embodies St. Francis’ mission statement beautifully, so I wasn’t surprised to find that many of them had enrolled as Primary School students. You know how much I love numbers, so here’s the breakdown: Of the eighty-three students who graduated in 2013, nearly fifty percent of them started as St. Francis students in kindergarten or earlier: • 16 started in the Pre-Primary program • 5 started in Primary I • 6 started in Primary II • 1 started in Bridge • 12 started in Kindergarten You can read about seven of those students on page four of this annual report. Winners of the national Lead2Feed World Hunger Leadership Challenge, the Wolves Against Hunger team worked with K. L. International School in Meerut, India, to identify creative solutions to fight hunger in their local communities. They were selected as winners from more than 300,000 participants, and gave their $25,000 Lead2Feed award check to Kids’ Meals, a local hunger relief agency. Again, I ran the numbers. Of the seven Wolves Against Hunger, five (or seventy-one percent) had been St. Francis students since at least kindergarten. Year in and year out for nine-plus years, they had developed critical and creative thinking skills, and had ultimately used those skills to be people for others. Since I joined St. Francis in 2001, I’ve watched members of the class of 2013—and a host of other students—develop into remarkably capable, curious, and caring human beings. They’ve set a wonderful example for those who follow, and, before we know it, today’s Primary School students will be crowning their own achievements on our stage. I look forward to seeing the amazing things they will accomplish at St. Francis between now and then. 60 1 From the Chair of the Board Financial Report Vanessa Sendukas Fiscal Year 2012–13 Revenues and expenditures F 2 or St. Francis, 2012–13 was a year of milestones. Our school celebrated not only its sixtieth year of nurturing imaginative, critical thinkers and people for others, but also several other remarkable achievements. These stemmed from the dedication and ingenuity of our faculty, administrators, board members, volunteers, and students. Working together, we made St. Francis’ diamond anniversary year truly shine. I am particularly proud of our students, who approached our administrators with ideas on how to build awareness of— and compassion for—several important causes that were dear to their hearts. The resulting We Care Day focused on global issues such as cancer, chronic hunger, poverty, and lack of education, and helped our students see that their interest and efforts can make a difference where it’s needed most. (Read more about We Care Day on page fifteen.) Also in 2012–13, St. Francis: • Simplified our enrollment processes by converting them from paper to digital. As a result, families now go online to apply, enroll, and re-enroll, as well as to register for summer and afterschool classes. •Incorporated project-based learning in all divisions, encouraging our students to inquire deeply and think creatively as they solve relevant problems and answer meaningful questions. •Cheered as our Varsity Boys Soccer Team won every single regular season game; our Varsity Baseball Team won the HJPC baseball championship; eight of our students became HJPC champions in swimming and varsity track and field; and one of our students won the state championship in wrestling. •Offered our students more opportunities to apply their learning outside the classroom by expanding our Middle School Summer Travel Program from one trip to three. •Expanded the use of technology in the classroom, including student use of iPads, Kindles, laptops, and SMART Boards beginning in Primary II. While we advanced our school to benefit current students, we also worked to enhance St. Francis’ future. Both board members and staff furthered the leadership phase of our A Time to Grow capital campaign, developing fundraising strategies and materials; soliciting lead gifts and foundation grants, and ultimately raising more than a third of our $21 million goal. Both in and out of the classroom, we continue to reach for the milestones that will optimize our student experience and help us create graduates who think imaginatively and critically and who embrace their power to change the world through service. So, to all those who have loved, served, and nurtured St. Francis since 1952, I salute you. May our past and present contributions continue to be a blessing to St. Francis families and students for the next sixty years— and beyond. 60 Earned Income revenues 2012–13 $ 15,237,984 Operating Expenses 17,203,456 Net Surplus or (Deficit) (1,965,472) before Fundraising Revenue and Investment Revenue Fundraising Revenue 81% Tuition 1,543,474 Investment Revenue 735,373 Total Net Surplus $ 313,375 Capital expenditures $ 476,675 10% 5% 4% ASSETS $ 7,572,086 Accounts receivable 412,368 Prepaid expenses and other assets 294,245 Pledges receivable 12,897,609 Fixed assets 18,911,841 Accrued liabilities Deferred tuition and fees Notes payable Total liabilities 63% Personnel Costs $ 44,193,284 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Accounts payable Expenditures 2012–13 4,105,135 Investments Total Assets Annual Fund Other Fundraising Efforts Balance Sheet Cash and cash equivalents Fees & Other Income $ 962,697 711,177 10,707,293 7,002,991 $ 19,384,158 17% 2% Instructional Auxiliary Programs 3% Capital Expenditures 4% Financial Assistance 11% Management & General Net Assets Unrestricted $ 21,042,269 Temporarily restricted 3,390,933 Permanently restricted 375,924 Total net assets $ 24,809,126 Total Liabilities and Net Assets $ 44,193,284 3 St. Francis Eighth Graders Win National Lead2Feed World Hunger Leadership Challenge Mr. Novak concurred. “I am inspired by the leadership and creativity that students from around the country used in their projects to fight hunger,” he said. “It is exciting to watch the program develop the next generation of leaders who are passionate about solving hunger.” More than 1,500 schools and 300,000 students from across the nation participated in the Mayoral Proclamation Honors St. Francis T St. Francis Eighth Graders Win National Lead2Feed World Hunger he air For their work, hummed eighth graders Leadership Challenge with more Taylor Bowers, than the usual end-ofMcKenna Dishongh, year excitement on May 17, Jeremy Mitschke, Charles 2013, as the St. Francis Middle School Recognition Moreton, Anthony Nguyen, Miranda Slaton, and and Awards Assembly got under way.

But on a sweltering afternoon in late summer, Houston Mayor Annise Parker proclaimed August 20, 2013, to be “Wolves Against Hunger of St. Francis Episcopal Day School Day.” During the ceremony, held before the City Council meeting, the mayor commended the Wolves Against Hunger team of St. Francis Episcopal Day School, winners of the national Lead2Feed World Hunger Leadership Challenge. “Houston has many talented young individuals, and I am proud to recognize the efforts of these students who tackled a serious, prevalent issue in our community and around the world,” said Mayor Parker. “They have served as role models for others, and certainly have bright futures ahead.” The Mayoral Proclamation, designed to honor individuals who have made a significant contribution to society, highlighted the students’ work with K.L. International School in Meerut, India, to identify resourceful solutions to fight hunger in their surrounding areas. Thanks to the $25,000 Lead2Feed award check presented to local nonprofit Kids’ Meals on behalf of St. Francis, the organization was able to provide 20,000 additional lunches to Houston children living in poverty. Councilman Andrew C. Burks Jr. closed the proclamation presentation by commenting, “At St. Francis, I know you all know about the scripture, ‘Faith without works is dead.’ You have definitely shown the faith and you have done the work, and I commend you all for it.” Lead2Feed World Hunger Leadership Challenge. The teacher-led educational program combines a standards-based leadership curriculum with the challenge of solving world hunger through servicelearning projects conducted by student teams. Yum! Brands Foundation provided nearly $250,000 in prize money grants to 140 schools for U.S. public charities engaged in hunger relief programs. Did You KNOW The Wolves Against Hunger team members were not the first St. Francis students to give Kids’ Meals a helping hand! In observance of Worldwide Hunger Day in October 2012, St. Francis Lower and Middle School students made 1,600 sack lunches from bread, bologna, juice boxes, fruit cups, and supplies they donated. And Primary School students assembled “birthday bags” from their donations of cake mix, frosting, sprinkles, candles, and birthday plates and napkins. In fact, the relationship between St. Francis and Kids’ Meals dates back a number of years, with St. Francis student service projects often designed to benefit the child-centered organization. 5 Memories & Milestone Founder’s Day Dreams of the Past With Visions for the Future C elebrating sixty years of “Memories & Milestones” was the order of the day during the St. Francis Founders Day celebration on January 11, 2013. Head of School Dr. Susan Lair served as master of ceremonies as students, faculty, parents, alumni, and board members took a sentimental stroll down memory lane that 60 highlighted the journeys of past students as well as founding principal Sally Woolrich’s defining directive to “do some strong dreaming” about the future of St. Francis. “The Board’s responses at that time included such far-fetched hopes as a gymnasium, a middle school, a separate lunch room, a good art program, a scholarship fund, an endowment fund, and more land,” detailed Dr. Lair of the reaction to Woolrich’s 1975 decree. “Today, all those trustees deserve a D s ’ r Founde 6 y our thanks, as their dreams laid the foundation for our current reality.” Well before the steady growth of the 1970s and beyond, however, the St. Francis community was already focused on laying the most necessary of foundations in the quality of students it produced. Dr. Lair showcased a 1953 St. Francis diploma, awarded to a three-year-old boy named Len, who was a member of the first nursery class at St. Francis Day School. She pointed out that Len’s teacher couldn’t possibly have predicted that her young student would one day become an investment banker who traveled the world, working in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, before returning to Houston. “Len’s teacher probably also could not have predicted that the little nursery school where she worked part time, and which had only twenty-four students, would one day become the largest Episcopal parish school in the United States,” Dr. Lair continued. “But it did.” The Right Reverend C. Andrew Doyle, himself a former St. Francis student, weighed in with his own memories and congratulations via video. “You ministered to me as a child as you minister to children every day at St. Francis,” he said. “You are shaping the minds and hearts of all the children these loving parents bring to you.” The Reverend William “Dubb” Brooks, who served as St. Francis’ senior chaplain for twelve years, echoed Bishop Doyle’s sentiments, calling St. Francis “one of the most important places at which I’ve lived, served, loved, and been loved.” Lighthearted recollections from more recent graduates brought on laughter and warm smiles during the “Alumni Story Project” video, which featured alumni recounting their favorite or funniest St. Francis moments. The “Let us look forward and escapades of long-past OLE trips—including stobegin to dream about ries of rafting down the Rio what God intends in Grande River and visiting your mission and historical Civil War sites— mingled with fond memministry in the future.” ories of favorite teachers, —The Right Reverend C. Andrew Doyle chapel experiences, and Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Texas sports highpoints. Perhaps Bishop Doyle summed up the meaning of the day best as he congratulated Dr. Lair, the St. Francis Board, and all of the alumni and families gathered in the FAC on making St. Francis “the finest parochial Episcopal school in the country.” He concluded, “We don’t stop and look back simply to reminisce—on this day, let us look forward and begin to dream about what God intends in your mission and ministry in the future.” PHOTOS: This page, from top left and going clockwise.

United in tribute to our school’s treasured past and brilliant future, more than 650 supporters enjoyed a glittering night of bidding, dancing, feasting, and friendship. The sounds of Sauce the Band; a lively game of musical chairs; and dynamic live and big board auction fun added to the merriment. Many thanks are due to the event’s incredible volunteers. From auction to underwriting, class projects to party sign-ups, and catalog creation to ballroom bling, a team of seventy-five dedicated and hardworking committee members—led by chairs Jessica Brazelton and Susan Light—made the night a sparkling success. They joined with the gala’s generous underwriters, attendees, and auction donors—as well as teachers and staff—in a long line of St. Francis supporters who, for sixty years, have devoted themselves to making our school community the family it is today.

Despite a rainy forecast, St. Francis Festival Day 2013 shone on April 28, upholding its reign as a traditional student favorite (Just ask those who volunteered to be in the dunk tank!). The sun came out just in time for event-goers to live up to the festival’s theme of “Turn Up The Fun.” Families jammed to fresh beats from the DJ, rocked the bounce houses, slammed some cascarones, and devoured tasty snow cones and tacos. The 43rd annual One Community Fund event benefited both St. Francis Episcopal Church and St. Francis Episcopal Day School. Special thanks go out to festival chairs Kathryn Adkins, Renee Davis, Sallie Guerino, and Kelly Huff, who put on the party for the second year running.

During her thirteen years as a St. Francis mom—first to daughter Mallory, who finished her freshman year at Baylor University in spring 2013, and later to Charles, a 2013 St. Francis graduate—she filled roles ranging from Buddy Family program chair to Middle School Annual Fund chair, scrapbook co-chair, and homeroom parent. 14 Perhaps the affiliation that most defined her years at St. Francis was with the Parents Association Care and Compassion Committee. Of the program, Ellen explains, “St. Francis is known for being a faith-based, nurturing school, and this committee brought real assistance and comfort to those in need.” Throughout the years, as both chair and member, she worked with the group to find effective new ways to offer support, including implementing online meal calendars and involving homeroom parents and teachers in the communications process. “It truly is a program essential to demonstrating the ‘St. Francis way’ in our community,” she says. Ellen and her husband, Sam, agree that their children have been blessed to receive a St. Francis education, both academically and spiritually. With relatives hailing from alma maters including Dartmouth, MIT, Emory, and Harvard, Ellen maintains that hers is a family that values learning. “We rejoice over our children’s St. Francis years and memories,” she reflects. “The faculty gives so much each day to our children that we, as parents, need to give back and support them, too!” St. Francis salutes Ellen and her family for all the ways they have given back to our school since 2000, and wishes them the best in their future ventures. Apparently, the feeling is mutual. “St. Francis is like a nest where you know your child is loved and safe, but, suddenly, the time comes for them to fly,” Ellen concludes. “When they’ve been taught the cornerstones of faith, scholarship, courage, and honor, these qualities become an enduring part of your child, and are priceless gifts that go with them.” nitiated by third and fourth graders, We Care Day 2013 showcased St. Francis students’ commitment to being people for others. The day came about after a number of students approached St. Francis administrators with ideas on how to increase awareness of global issues such as cancer, chronic hunger, poverty, and lack of education. The event kicked off with a student-created video describing how St. Francis students would “leave their footprint” on the world by showing care for cancer patients and increasing empathy for those suffering from poverty, hunger, and a lack of available education. Children heard the account of Lucille Bridges, mother of Ruby Bridges, who made history when she boldly allowed her daughter to be the first African-American child to attend a desegregated school in New Orleans in 1960. Mrs. Bridges encouraged the students to appreciate their education, follow their dreams, trust God, and display kindness and grace in every situation. On this special day, students wore pink shirts to honor those who are sick. They also went without shoes to highlight the hardship faced by so many others in the world; brought shoes to donate to local charities as well as to schools in Haiti; teamed up with another grade level to participate in an Act of Kindness; and planted flowers in honor of this memorable event. As they wrapped up the day’s activities, students brainstormed ways they could keep We Care Day going yearround at school and at home. During this time of reflection, they gave thanks for all they have, prayed for those who are less fortunate, and had the chance to truly realize that each and every child is able to make a difference in our world. Acts of Kindness ks S ince 2010, St. Francis has paid annual tribute to an eighth-grade parent whose generosity of spirit in volunteer roles has exemplified the school’s mission to be people for others. We are proud to introduce our 2013 Outstanding Volunteer, Ellen Moreton. When Ellen’s son, Charles, garnered praise for his part in St. Francis’ award-winning Wolves Against Hunger team in spring 2013, those who know Ellen best weren’t the least bit surprised. After all, a mom who’s spent years giving selflessly of herself in myriad volunteer roles would no doubt inspire like-minded generosity in her children.

Woolrich Fund for Faculty A nnually since 2004, the Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for Faculty has provided life-changing professional development opportunities for our faculty—from national explorations of archaeology and horticulture to intercontinental adventures in history, religion, and pedagogy. Last year was no exception, and we are so proud of the following winners of the 2013 Woolrich Awards. Each of these teachers dared to dream about extraordinary learning adventures that could enrich both their lives and their classrooms. Read on to learn more! Charlotte Fitzgerald Primary School Music Faculty Melissa Jurick Lower School Music Faculty Adventure: Violin Craftsmanship Institute Location: University of New Hampshire As St. Francis’ orchestra leader and strings instructor, Richard Keith is charged with maintaining and, when necessary, facilitating repair of our instruments. By attending Richard Keith two week-long classes Performing Arts Faculty in basic violin setup, maintenance, and repair at the University of New Hampshire’s Violin Craftsmanship Institute, he enhanced his own understanding of violin care. He also has been able to bring many of the school’s string instrument repairs in house and increased his ability to share the intricacies of violin repair and craftsmanship with his students. Gregory Urbani Seventh-Grade History Faculty Adventure: International Kodály Symposium Location: Kecskemét, Hungary 16 At the heart of St. Francis’ Primary and Lower School music programs, the Kodály Method uses folk songs and movement to teach musical concepts in a simple, sequential way. Kodály originated in Hungary, and our music teachers traveled to Kecskemét this past summer to attend the 21st International Kodály Symposium. While there, they gained in-depth knowledge of the program and philosophy, which was introduced at St. Francis in 2011–12. They also brought home a wide selection of enrichment materials; the ability to further enhance St. Francis’ music program across divisions; and renewed excitement and inspiration that is helping them continue to infuse their students with a passion for making and enjoying music. Adventure: Tour of England, Scotland, and Wales Location: Great Britain For Greg Urbani, the medieval past is a vivid part of the present as he teaches world history and oversees the annual seventh-grade Medieval Feast. On his Woolrich-funded trip to Great Britain, he studied medieval architecture, artifacts, and art; the Renaissance; the Reformation of the Catholic Church; and the Scientific Revolution—and saw as many castles as possible. Mr. Urbani has big plans to enrich his classes with the photos, videos, artifacts, and firsthand knowledge he brought back from across the pond. merely attends school and one who truly enjoys learning. In this spirit, St. Francis Episcopal Day School established the Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for Faculty—designed to enhance the educational experience of our students by first expanding the horizons of our teachers. This fund is dedicated to our school’s first principal, Sarah Woolrich, who made a life of teaching, guiding, and inspiring the students of St. Francis. We are thankful that the following donors share this vision as they support the fund.

WOOLRICH FUND FOR FACULTY Named for our school’s remarkable first principal, the fund is designed to enhance the educational experience of our students by first expanding the horizons of our teachers. Thanks to the Woolrich Fund, our teachers have stood before the art masters at museums in Paris, participated in a dinosaur dig, walked through the Holy Land, and toured the Roman Empire. For more information, contact Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Staci Thompson at 713.458.6132. VOLUNTEER Whether they’re teaching Art à la Carte lessons, selling Wolf Wear, celebrating student birthdays, planning special events or fueling a broad range of other activities, volunteers are the lifeblood of the St. Francis community. Not only does volunteering allow parents to connect with other St. Francis community members, but it also results in a much richer educational experience for our students. To volunteer, contact Directors of Alumni and Parent Relations Anne Chisholm or Staci Thompson at 713.458.6132. “My time at St. Francis has sped by,” she says, “but that’s what happens when you are doing something you love and enjoy. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work, play, laugh, and learn at this school for so many years.” Watching children grow and develop has always been the highlight of her career, says Mrs. McNay. Since graduating with a bachelor’s degree in education from Sam Houston State University, she’s worked as an elementary educator and art specialist in the Houston, Clear Creek, Alief, and Spring Branch school districts. After joining St. Francis in 1988, she spent two years as a Primary I teacher and twelve years as a Bridge teacher, while acting as Associate Director of Primary School. Today, Mrs. McNay spends her hours assisting with the observation, supervision, and evaluation of the Primary School’s policies, curriculum, faculty, and students. She plays an integral role in helping the school implement project-based learning and the Reggio Emilia approach, which focuses on allowing every child’s natural curiosity to direct his or her learning, promoting respect for all, and utilizing the teacher as a facilitator. After winning a Sarah W. Woolrich Fund for Faculty Award in 2012, Mrs. McNay explored this approach in more depth at the Reggio Children International Study Group in Italy. When asked how she pursues lifelong learning, Mrs. McNay is quick to point out that her passion for the Spanish language and culture drives many of her professional-development ventures. A 2005 Woolrich Award sent her to the Don Quijote School in Guanajuato, Mexico, for an intensive, two-week Spanish course. In 2008, she was invited to present a teacher-training workshop at St. John’s Episcopal School in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, which was followed by a 2009 Woolrich award that sent her to Costa Rica with a group of St. Francis teachers to study Spanish further. At school or home, Mrs. McNay pursues all her aspirations with her trademark enthusiasm. One great love is art, in which she minored during college. Over the years, she’s given art lessons to children and taken classes herself at local museums, as well as painted regularly in her husband’s art studio. And, of course, she’s also mastered the incredible art of teaching. 60 29 Class of 2013 Class of 2013 High School Destinations Council Presidents and Awards Asheville School Marisa Raquel Barrera Awty International School Sultan N.
