The foundation of a solid beginning and a focused future launch Lighthouse into an exciting phase as we, guided by our Strategic Plan, look toward the next 20 years. Lighthouse has flourished because of those who have generously invested their time, talent and treasure. Keeping tuition as affordable as possible, for as many families as possible, while also retaining fabulous staff and strengthening our program, is a fine balance. Strong stewardship and financial prudency have led to a $1 million debt reduction fund to be applied to our $2.7 million balance when our building note comes due this March. In the process, the Board has also kept staff compensation competitive, provided $170,000 to 39 families through Tuition Assistance for 2015-16 school year, and strengthened our core program. Overall test scores remain in the top 20 percent in the nation and our alumni continue to thrive in diverse settings. Facility care and maintenance also remain a top priority, providing a clean, safe and nurturing environment for our students and our families. Thank you for partnering with us. Together, we are building the future leaders of our community and impacting the world for Christ. LCS 2014-15 Board of Directors Colette Taylor Secretary Patrick Abraham Sheila Benson Tim Cedarland Nikki Fisher Greg Hammontree Spencer Hutchins Brian Kerr Julie Sievert Marty Young Board Members Emeritus Troy Alstead Rick Barney Dion Rurik Dennis Trittin Mark Soupiset Chairman Mark Angell Vice-Chairman Michael Nesland Treasurer Strategic Plan: 2013-2023 Strategic planning: Year Two The desired fruit of the Strategic Planning process is to see our graduates, year after year, leave Lighthouse well-prepared for the future, having achieved their academic potential, developed servant hearts to help in the local and global community, and cemented strong personal relationships with Jesus. Following is year one of our progress along the path: OBJECTIVE 1: Student exhibits personal Commitment to Christ • Revised the admission process to build parental commitment to Christ at the center through the administrative interview process and focus on LCS core values and mission. • Implemented a Christian counseling program • Introduced the mentorship program in Middle School – adopting a small group format with adult mentors and Middle School students. OBJECTIVE 2: Employees fully engaged • Developed an engagement survey to determine a baseline, set a goal for compensation and benefits and established priorities moving forward. • Enhanced focus on: Commitment, Collaboration and Competence as a means of evaluating staff. OBJECTIVE 3: Students’ learning needs will be met Implemented standardized formative assessment tool (AIMSWEB) as a gauge for determining student baseline and progress throughout the year. OBJECTIVE 3A: Technology integrated throughout school • Fourth and Fifth grade teachers, along with Middle School core subject teachers, have all received iPads and implementation training • E-curriculum has been evaluated and purchased for Middle School implementation • Beyond Technology Education continues under the guidance of Lisa Creekmore OBJECTIVE 4: Engaging extra-curricular programs • A team has been created to identify “holes” in LCS extracurricular program and prepare a plan for enhancement during the 2014-15 school year. • After school care will have a new look and feel OBJECTIVE 4A: Develop a facility plan • Our Master Facility plan focuses on growth, maintenance and on-going improvements. • SchoolDude software has been implemented to manage our maintenance and facility usage OBJECTIVE 5: Grow to full enrollment The new Admissions position now includes a marketing emphasis and enhanced communication with local pre-schools. OBJECTIVE 5A: Financial Stability Driven by the Strategic Plan and the Master Facility Plan, the Development department is working on a major gifts emphasis, helping LCS to achieve the goals set out in the long range plan and meeting growing needs. Fourth graders playing a game to understand equivalent fractions First grader using a hundreds chart to help her count change “ The LCS Math Lab was created to bring more handson learning opportunities into the current curriculum, boost critical thinking and problem solving skills and, ultimately get kids EXCITED about math. The success of the Math Lab, in my opinion, is evident in the happy cheers I’m greeted with when I roll my cart into the classrooms. After a lesson on equivalent fractions using hands-on fraction tiles, a fourth grader enthusiastically ” thanked me ‘for letting us do this.’ Erin Carman Specialist, Math Lab New parent orientation also now includes small group meetings which share the heart of the Lighthouse mission, history, the role of volunteers and the need for fundraising to help fill the gap between operating costs and tuition. 3 Making A Difference Year after year fundraising remains an important piece of the financial model at Lighthouse. Tuition is intentionally set to make Lighthouse Christian School accessible for a broad range of families and covers nearly 85% of the Lighthouse operating budget. Thanks to generous hearts and broad-based participation, the model works well at Lighthouse, promoting stewardship and making the school accessible for more families. Without the benefit of state and federal funding, we rely on the financial support of parents, faculty, and friends. Legacy Builders There are several ways families can help to support the Lighthouse Mission: Legacy Builders – Sustainable funding is a critical element in the future of Lighthouse. The Legacy program provides an opportunity to invest in Lighthouse – for greatest needs – by making a multi-year commitment. The focus is to enable long-term planning for critical budget needs such as teacher compensation, program needs, facility needs, debt reduction and tuition assistance. Now in its seventh year, the Legacy Builders program has raised more than $2 million over the life of the program which includes 76 Legacy Builder members and generous, year over year, one-time donors. Annual Auction - While many schools place requirements on families for volunteer hours, auction donations, and procurement values, Lighthouse has been blessed over the years by non-mandated/joyful giving. Providing a sponsorship, donating an item, coordinating a basket, or helping procure an item from a friend or family member helps us create an amazing event together. Annual Auction Annual Fund “Quest for Excellence” – It is the combined gifts – of all shapes and sizes – that makes the difference in our ability to provide affordable quality Christian education. With a goal of 100% participation by board, staff and families through either the Quest for Excellence or the Legacy Builders program, annual operating needs are met while striving to keep tuition at an affordable level for a broad range of families. Scrip – Scrip is a national program which enables parents and friends to purchase gift cards to merchants they already frequent – and bless schools in the process by providing a percentage back. While the rates vary by retailer, there are hundreds of options to choose from. Some inventory for local favorites is kept on hand for easy purchase, while others can be ordered within a matter of days. This is an easy way to contribute, with no additional cost to you! Did You Know? That by simply designating Lighthouse as your recipient, rebates will accumulate from retailers such as: > Target Red Card Take Charge of Education - Target will donate up to 1% of your REDcard purchases at Target stores in the U.S. and via their website. > Amazon Smile When you shop at Amazon, they will donate to your selected charitable organization – including Lighthouse! > Safeway online And… > Thrivent Financial for Lutherans – allows members to designate Lighthouse > United Way – workplace campaigns can include Lighthouse as a designation through United Way > Matching Gifts Programs are available through many large corporations. 4 Fundraising Totals 2014-2015 Planned Gift $200,000 Legacy Program $351,312 Annual Fund $55,597 Designated Giving $152,581 Spending 2014-2015 $63,436 $109,004 $53,529 $151,348 Auction $179,703 Year ended June 30, 2015.
