REPORT ON GIVING 2014-2015 2014-15 GIVING HIGHLIGHTS Anonymous donors provided $500,000 to build tennis courts on the Upper School Campus and generously shared $100,000 to provide a dollar-for-dollar match for new or increased gifts to our Annual Fund. This was a transformative gift. Indian Creek’s top fundraising priority, the Annual Fund, accounted for three percent of the funds needed to operate the School. We raised $464,250—the highest total in our school’s Annual Fund history. Indian Creek School (ICS) faculty and staff reached 98 percent participation in the Annual Fund. ICS faculty and staff are committed to challenging each child to realize his or her full potential. Indian Creek transformed our school’s technology infrastructure with an incredibly generous donation of $192,568 from Chris ’91 and Kelly Mannix. While Indian Creek values gifts of all sizes, leadership gifts are particularly important to the School’s financial health. A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear Indian Creek School families and friends, For more than 40 years, Indian Creek School (ICS) has been on a remarkable journey, thanks to the support and involvement of our alumni, parents, and friends. We are relentlessly moving forward to be known as the premier school for both learning and teaching, one that fosters a nurturing and challenging environment and is at the forefront of the best educational thinking. This is an exciting time for all of us to be stewards of this remarkable school. There is a strong sense of school pride among families who are part of Indian Creek, and this pride is something that inspires our community. Our school is energized by the passion of students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and school leaders as a unifying force that motivates many talented and dedicated people to be part of Indian Creek. We are particularly grateful to our Board of Trustees, led by Chair Matt Alsted, for their dedicated and thoughtful stewardship and leadership. Our Board Development Chair Nancy Morin was instrumental in our successful fundraising efforts this year, and we appreciate her efforts on behalf of her daughter’s school. Another important volunteer leader who works hard to provide meaningful experiences for parents is Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) President Lynne Sullivan. Indian Creek is fortunate to have the support of so many people who believe in our school. Our increases in enrollment and philanthropy, significant student accomplishments in academics, arts, and athletics, and advances in educational technology are propelling our school forward. Innovative teaching and new approaches to learning are engaging students in meaningful ways. Blended Learning at Indian Creek (BLinc) provides curious students with a combination of online and face-to-face enrichment experiences. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) experiences facilitate faculty collaboration and provide students with hands-on learning experiences. Our humanities and arts programming helps students give meaning to their world. All of the positive momentum in our school is propelling students forward in pursuit of their dreams. Our alumni are also sharing their successes with their school, thus providing compelling stories about the relevance of an excellent education as the foundation that prepares students for success in college, graduate school, and beyond. Your generosity supports Indian Creek School as we help students and alumni to realize their full potential and fulfill their dreams. With gratitude, Rick Branson, Ed.D. Head of School THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUR STUDENTS AND ALUMNI FULFILL THEIR DREAMS Capital Campaign Gifts* $9,245 Special Events (net) $160,000 Total Raised $1,226,063 Annual Fund $464,250 *Pledge payments from Upper School Capital Campaign Gifts to Capital Projects $592,568 HELPING STUDENTS REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL As a school, Indian Creek believes our role is to help our students imagine their future, embrace their loftiest dreams, and realize their full potential. The generosity of our 2014-15 donors has an essential influence on our future—our future scientists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Thank you for supporting Indian Creek School as we help our students and alumni fulfill their dreams. TEACHING / Your generosity enabled the school to invest $5,000 for the rare opportunity for five teachers to learn from world-class neuroscience professionals. When our teachers returned from the “Learning and the Brain” conference, they incorporated this current research and changed their classroom techniques to help students learn more effectively. CURRICULUM / Funded by your gifts, we invested $2,200 for 11 Lower School faculty members to be fully trained to teach our newly adopted math curriculum, Primary Mathematics, a Singapore-based math program. Because of the robust professional development opportunities for faculty and innovative program exploration for our students, there is tremendous energy around strengthening our academic program to improve student achievement. ATHLETICS / With your support, we were able to afford everything from a $5 hula hoop for the playground to $3,700 for officials for one season of Middle and Upper School girls lacrosse. These gifts fortified our fitness program and expanded opportunities for high-level interscholastic play—winning conference championships in Boys’ Basketball, Boys’ Lacrosse, and Boys’ Soccer. ARTS / Because of your philanthropic commitments, we enhanced our arts program with sheet music for the holiday concert, acrylic paint for our art classrooms, and more. We advanced the integration of arts into the curriculum for every student because research has shown that arts education strengthens deeper learning and retention of new information. TECHNOLOGY / Powered by your contributions, we expanded our Blended Learning at Indian Creek (BLinc) program to 17 online and face-to-face enrichment experiences over four sessions. This innovative approach to teaching and learning is benefitting every student. Great gains came from our faculty using new technology tools to expand our curriculum and do things in the classroom that were not possible before. COMMUNITY OUTREACH / Through the generosity of the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County’s Ladders to Success program, we invested $14,000 to strengthen our Students Taking Academic Responsibility (STARs) program and reach 61 racially and economically diverse middle school students from Anne Arundel public schools. STARs is a three-week, tuition-free, summer academic program that allows our talented faculty to reach out to the broader community to address the achievement gap. Our efforts lead to increased high school graduation rates amongst these low-income families. RESULTS / Together, we make a tremendous difference in the lives of every ICS student. We graduate students prepared for top colleges who also possess important characterbased qualities that contribute to success in all areas of life. THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT From funding the purchase of necessary daily supplies to enabling visionary enhancements of teaching and resources, your support of Indian Creek School ensures that our students have what they need for a top-notch education. THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT AMBITIOUS STUDENTS . . . Celebrated Scholar-Athlete to Pursue Dream of Becoming a Doctor at Georgetown University Ashley Leverrett ’16 is a member of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Program, took three Advanced Placement classes her junior year, and currently holds an A+ average. In addition to being a star on our field hockey team, Ashley has been a key contributor to our back-to-back girl’s lacrosse championships in 2013 and 2014. But that’s not all: Ashley has spent two summers working as a counselor in our Students Taking Academic Responsibility (STARs) program. She loves working with younger children, so during the summer of 2014 she tutored an incoming freshman and also coached an under-14 SPark field hockey club team, helping to develop high-quality field hockey players in Maryland. This enthusiasm and excitement for diving into such a wide range of activities is the hallmark of an Indian Creek student. Ashley has been recruited by Georgetown University, where she will play field hockey while pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. National History Bee Washington Regional Finalist Will Explore the Sciences During his 7th-grade year, Henry Hardart ’20 was one of five Middle School students from Indian Creek who advanced to the Washington Regional Finals in the National History Bee. He went to Arlington, VA, with James Corckran ’19, Mason Howell ’21, Christina McPhail ’19, and Jared Turner ’19. This is one of many Creek experiences in which students are encouraged to take healthy risks and to persevere when facing a new challenge. Henry enjoys learning new things and really likes exploring interesting facts in history and science. His teachers always encourage him to ask questions, and he likes the supportive environment at Indian Creek that helps him grow while he figures out what aspects of the sciences he will pursue. Gold Medalist Inspired to Study Engineering While Continuing Ice Skating Passion Caroline Figaro ’23 earned a gold medal at the 2015 Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships in Lake Placid, NY, during January of her 4th-grade year. Caroline’s team, the Eastern D.C. Edge Blue, took the gold medal in the preliminary category. Caroline enjoys the support of her classmates and teachers as she balances her academic, artistic, and athletic interests. She was inspired to study engineering by some very interesting science lessons she had in Lower School, and she hopes to continue her skating on top of her school work and playing the cello. The “can do it all” philosophy at Indian Creek School is appreciated by the Figaro family, including sister Alexandra ’18. Inspired Leader Studies to Fulfill Dream of Becoming a Business Executive at Susquehanna University Travis Belt ’15 is the epitome of a well-rounded scholar and leader at Indian Creek— fully prepared for what’s next after leaving a mark on our school community. Travis received the Captial Gazette Outstanding Student Achievement Award, participated in the Kevin Reichardt Foundation’s leadership workshops, played on five championship teams, participated in four musicals/plays, mentored hundreds of public school students enrolled in our Students Taking Academic Responsibility (STARs) Program, and more. Travis is known for his positive attitude and affable nature. He is also the first player to sprint over to pick up a teammate off the floor. Attending Indian Creek has given Travis the confidence and freedom to try new things. Our teachers are committed to developing the whole person and encourage every student to step outside of their comfort zone and to take healthy risks. “The Indian Creek community invested the time, the effort, and the resources into helping me grow and develop, and it obviously changed the structure of my life,” Travis says. “I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t go to Indian Creek, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities I was given.” Student Government Leader Dreams of Becoming a Veterinarian As the Middle School Student Government Vice President for Service during her 7th-grade year, Alaura Enright ’20 really appreciates our school’s partnership with Lighthouse, a homelessness prevention and support center. She enjoys making and delivering lunches there, and cites this service program as one that “inspires her to help others.” Another one of her favorite service projects was the food drive for the animals at the local SPCA. Alaura likes how Indian Creek “wants you to be your best and encourages you to do a lot of different things like athletics, musicals, and classes.” She loves science and dreams of becoming a veterinarian or marine biologist. Alaura really likes her teachers and their encouragement of all of her different interests. Independent Learning Day Inspires Student to Interview an Astronaut During the 3rd-grade astronomy unit in May 2015, Jackson Barroll ’24 shared a video of his interview with Mr. Frederick Gregory, the first African American to command a space flight for his astronaut project. Jackson liked the astronomy unit and he really enjoys Independent Learning Days in Lower School because students are “able to share what you are working on with other students and teachers.” While he is still figuring out what he would like to be when he grows up, Jackson likes spelling and basketball. He is glad to go to school at Indian Creek because “it is a good school with a lot of fun activities.” THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT . . . AND SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI Entrepreneur Builds Successful Technology Company CHRIS MANNIX ’91 Owner, Mid-Atlantic Control Systems Indian Creek School Board of Trustees—Facilities Committee Chair Elon University I have served on the Indian Creek Board of Trustees for several years now and support ICS because I firmly believe I am who I am because of my years at the Creek. I arrived in 1st grade as a shy little guy afraid to try new things and graduated years later with the academic skills, confidence, determination, and grit to go on to build my own successful company. I also experienced at Indian Creek the value of being part of the community and the importance of giving back to that community. I am thankful for what an Indian Creek education has done for me and believe it is imperative for all alumni to say thank you by way of their financial support. Together, we can help sustain Indian Creek for the next 40 years. An Illustrator Does What She Loves and Makes a Living KAYE CARTWRIGHT ’02 Social Media Designer for People.com and Commissioned Illustrator University of Virginia and Parsons School of Design Indian Creek was hands down the most supportive environment I’ve experienced. I feel extremely lucky that my early years were so nurturing, not only from teachers like Mr. Voros, who saw and pushed my talent, but my peers who constantly asked me for drawings of absolutely everything. At ICS, I developed a confidence in my work. My advice for current students is to do what you love and do it every single day. Share what you did with anyone who will look. Forget insecurities and talk through your work. But most important is to work at what you love every single day, even if it’s small. Sometimes it will actually feel like work and you’ll hate it. Do it until you love it again. Cornell University Doctoral Student Explores Intersection of Engineering and Psychology KATI PEDITTO ’11 St. Mary’s College and Cornell University Studying human behavior and design as a Ph.D. student at Cornell University is the right combination of academic and personal interests for Kati Peditto ’11. After two years studying systems engineering at George Washington University, she transferred to St. Mary’s College of Maryland, where she earned a B.A. in psychology and completed a capstone thesis on infusion pump keypad design. According to Kati, “The Cornell program is a perfect intersection between engineering and psychology (with some design and architecture thrown in)!” Her dissertation will focus on improving patient safety in hospitals by designing better health care environments and equipment. “Indian Creek taught me to think beyond the boundaries of a single discipline. I was challenged to constantly question, whether it was questioning the poetic intent of an author in AP Literature, or questioning the alternate paths to an answer in AP Calculus. This type of interdisciplinary ‘questioning’ is the heart of research— examining alternative explanations to determine the truth. It is a skill that will carry me through the rest of my career, far beyond the halls of ICS.” Trying New Things Leads to Success for a Recent College Graduate CHRIS KALLOO ’11 Human Resources Executive Development Program at Macy’s George Washington University During his time as a student at Indian Creek, Chris Kaloo was empowered by his teachers and coaches. “ICS prepared me for my current career by giving me the confidence to try new things,” Chris said. “I majored in marketing at George Washington University (GWU), and now I am enjoying my new career with Macy’s in the Human Resources Executive Development Program, where I recruit college students into entry-level programs for corporate Macy’s.” While he was a student at GWU, Chris helped start and became president of the cross country club and played club lacrosse on a team that went to a national championship. He played both sports at Indian Creek. According to Chris, “By being able to try different things at ICS—such as a new sport in 10th grade, student government, and such—I learned to be adaptive, which led me try a completely new career path. My love of learning that was nurtured at ICS has made this a really fun journey.” EXTENDING OUR GRATITUDE Indian Creek School is grateful to these donors who appreciate that the financial needs of the School reach beyond those met by tuition. The names found in the following lists are based upon all gifts to ICS received during 2014-2015 fiscal year.
