Dear Reader,

Thank you for taking the
time to review the DavisStuart, Inc. 2012-2013 Annual Report. I think that
you will agree with me that
the agency has been very
Mark Spangler,
busy and successful in our
Executive Director
endeavors. The children
that are served by Davis-Stuart, Inc. come from
various places throughout the state of West Virginia and represent a variety of significant needs.
Unfortunately, there are many children and families that are experiencing an array of difficulties.
The behavioral, emotional, and psychological
trauma that many of our residents have experienced in their young lives is more than any of us
would expect them to be able to cope with at this
stage in their development. However, through our
dedicated supporters, staff, and volunteers we
have diligently worked to successfully fulfill our
mission statement:
In light of this vision and building on the history
of our lengthy affiliation with the Presbyterian
Church, Davis-Stuart is committed to the following mission:
 To be a safe, loving home where all of God’s
children who are hurting can find healing,
and to help them develop the values and skills


to be productive, healthy citizens.
To educate and strengthen families though a
proactive approach.
To advocate for the children and families
entrusted to our care on behalf of the church
and society.
To be a premier resource for the child care
professionals, ministers, social workers, and
other help givers.
This statement is a tall order. Every program and
initiative at the agency is grounded in this statement. As you read and review our year-end report
I encourage you to remember that these words are
our foundation. We will continue to provide a life
changing experience for the young people entrusted to our care as long as the need exists. The 164
residents served this year have had many opportunities to develop new coping skills introduced to
them by caring and competent staff members that
are motivated by this mission statement. Many
have had moments of insight that have been significant while others will tell us years from now
how they applied the lessons learned while in
residence.
Thank you for being a part of this mission and for
your trust and support. Please visit our website at
www.davis-stuart.org to learn about all the ways
that you can partner with us in this most important
work.

The Boy Scouts Come to
Davis-Stuart
In the spring of 2012, DavisStuart seized the opportunity to
participate in a community service initiative presented by the
CCC (Citizens Conservation Corporation), in collaboration with
the Boy Scouts of America during the Boy Scout Jamboree held at their new site at
the New Rive Gorge in Fayette County, WV. We
were thrilled when our main campus was approved as
a project site for the 2013 Boy Scout community service initiative in southern West Virginia.
Before we applied and approval was granted, we
had to decide how we could utilize this opportunity to
improve the quality of care that we provide our young
people. For many years we have wanted to build a
multipurpose amphitheater on the site of the old swimming pool. The natural contour of the land and the
central
location
meant it could be
utilized for a large
majority of outside
events. This volunteer project provided the perfect
opportunity.
After a year of
planning, purchasing materials, seAfter breaking ground.
curing volunteers,
and outlining the project, on July
17th, 2013, the Boy Scouts arrived for their first day of
community service. During the ensuing 5 days there
were approximately 200 Boy Scouts, half a dozen volunteers from Lowes in Lewisburg, and several DavisStuart employees that worked to make our dream a
reality. The Project included the construction of a
walkway which led to a wooden staircase that extends
approximately 110 feet to the seating area below,
bench seating that can accommodate 110 people, and a
600 square foot stage, and all the landscaping that surrounds the area. Despite the fact that it was the hottest
week of the summer, the work ethic of everyone involved in the project was truly inspirational.
During our project we were
given an opportunity to work with
scouts from 5 different states including New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Missouri, and Oklahoma. All of the groups were very
enthusiastic about the project and
were excited to see the progress they made at the end
of each day. Three of the groups left us with patches to
put on the amphitheater as a reminder of their troops
involvement.
We are always looking to enrich and improve the
lives of our youth and staff by offering opportunities
and experiences that they might not normally have.
Davis-Stuart attempts to
provide
opportunities
that are both enjoyable
and memorable. After
all of the planning and
hard work that was
spent on this project, we
believe that many years
from now our residents
and staff will be able to
enjoy the amphitheater,
and that the groups of
volunteers that made
this all a possibility can
feel a tremendous sense
of pride in knowing that
they have truly made a
difference. Thank you to Mike Falls, Maintenance Director &

I believe C.S. Lewis
had it right when he
said, “Failures are
finger posts on the
road to achievement.” Mistakes in life do not define
who we are, but what is learned from those mistakes
does determine our future. We have a responsibility at
Davis-Stuart to teach our young people how to learn
from the mistakes of the past, in order to make healthy
choices for a successful future. As the Spiritual Life
each new resident we receive at Davis-Stuart. As a
result, we have seen consistent chapel attendance, with
75-80% of our residents attending each week. There
has been an increase in participation in our Spiritual
Life groups as well. We are currently offering two
groups a week.

this looks like in everyday life. With an emphasis on
virtues, such as forgiveness, trust, love, and discipline,
the program strives to instill the belief that change is
possible through a relationship with God; that grace is
extended to all who will receive it and it is possible to
move forward from the mistakes of the past.
Over the last year the Spiritual Life program has gone

New Arrival
Kits
When our residents first arrive at one of our homes,
quite often they come to us with little or no personal
items. Therefore, upon intake residents are provided
with basic personal hygiene products, a pillow, pillow
case, towels, and washcloths. Not matter a resident’s
length of stay, these items are theirs to keep.
School Supplies for
Public School
Residents
In the past, we have been blessed with donations from
churches and individuals to assist in offsetting the cost
of “new arrival kits.” As it is a constant need, donations of the following items are always appreciated.
Once our residents have completed the level requirements of the on-grounds school, they are reviewed for
public school eligibility. Once eligible for public
school, the residents are transferred to either Eastern
Greenbrier Middle School or Greenbrier East High
School where they will remain enrolled until completion of the program. The following supplies are provided to public school residents and needed throughout the school year.
 Shampoo
 Folders
 Conditioner
 3 ring binders ( 1’ or bigger)

Budgetary control and financial reporting assure all concerned that agency funds are being administered responsibly. An annual external audit is
performed routinely. The Executive Director submitted, and the Board of Directors, approved a detailed and balanced budget at its meeting June
29, 2013 for the upcoming fiscal year—July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. These charts represent a consolidation of that detailed information.
Throughout the year the Board receives quarterly reports which compare actual operating results to the budget. Adjustments are made according
to the agency’s needs.
