Our purpose in doing so is to develop people who make a meaningful contribution to others and the world in which we live. WHY WE CHOSE WILLOW… “The families here are real, inviting, and grounded.” –Parent “The virtue of the month… was a major component in learning about how to act responsibly. In general, learning to respect the environment as well as peers and teachers easily translated into being respectful to people overall.” –Willow Graduate “The small classes definitely gave me the opportunity to become comfortable expressing my ideas in a group discussion. Now in high school I can participate with bigger classes and peers I don’t know as well.” –Willow Graduate “Willow is a place where our children are taught by caring teachers who embrace each child for who they are and encourage them to be themselves. Each child brings something different to the classroom and allows them to explore how they fit and where their strengths lie, This is an important lesson for growing in life. Teaching that allows students to build a strong sense of self that carries with them through their lifetime.” –Parent “…it really isn’t just a single strength, but the combination of joyful learning an integrated curriculum and the virtues program that makes a Willow education great!” –Parent NEW_Annual Report 2012_v8_new_Annual_mech 9/17/12 4:09 PM Page 4 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Willow Community, It is genuinely inspiring to witness firsthand the generous support that has been shown The Willow School, by members both inside and outside of our community. It is really a testimony to the widely-shared faith in both the unique mission of our school and the ability of our talented administration, faculty, and staff to execute on that mission. From entering preschool parents and exiting student alumni to current faculty and emeritus trustees, we can boast one of the highest giving rates of any independent school in the country. When this measure of confidence is demonstrated in such times of economic challenge, we are all the more grateful for your gestures of financial support. Please know that your varied contributions to the Willow success story are deeply appreciated and continue to impact directly the learning experience of our children. So thanks to every one of you and may we together continue to see this amazing story unfold. Respectfully, David Donovan, Ph.D President, Board of Trustees LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Families and Friends of Willow, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that during the recent recession, donations to non profits dropped by thirty billion nationally. The fact that The Willow School has maintained 100% community participation in the Annual Fund during these past years is a testament to your dedication and commitment to the mission of this remarkable school. I am deeply grateful to each of you for your generous contributions of time, talent and financial resources that are evident in this Philanthropy Report The fact that we had 100% participation from all parents, faculty, staff, and board of trustees is a testament to the commitment shared by all in our school community. The result of this shared commitment is a strong interdependence that enhances the progress we will continue to make for the students of The Willow School. Based on the strength of our relationships to each other and to this place, we envision a future where individuals who have been touched by The Willow experience have clarity around, and commitment to, taking full responsibility for themselves and their environment. Your generosity allows us to do the important work we do here at Willow so that our students can effect change and help to create a better world. We welcome new friends along with early, long-time donors to join with us in support of the Willow experience. Please accept our gratitude and sincere appreciation for making giving at Willow an exception to the national trend. Sincerely, Kate Burke Walsh Head of School 1 NEW_Annual Report 2012_v8_new_Annual_mech 9/17/12 4:09 PM Page 5 OUR COMMUNITY OF DONORS 2011-2012 THE 1994 ROBERT W. JOHNSON, IV CHARITABLE TRUST MR.
