La Salle Academy More Than A Mission - A Miracle Every Day 2012 - 2013 Annual Report President’s Letter Page 2 Chairman’s Letter Page 3 Principal’s Letter Page 4 Financial Summary Page 5 Our Gracious Donors Page 6 Memorials and Tributes Page 15 ➤ Page 2 La Salle Academy Annual Report 2012-2013 President’s Letter La Salle Academy is full of pride as we celebrate our tenth anniversary. We are proud of our success, not only this past year, but this past decade. Eighty seven students have graduated from La Salle Academy and we have an 82% graduation rate from high school. At least 15 students are pursuing college studies, three are in the military, and the others are either working or pursuing employment. Our present students continue to show great progress in their academic achievements as demonstrated through their standardized test scores, and in their social, emotional, moral and spiritual lives. This has been a great year for La Salle Academy. We are proud of our students and our graduates. La Salle Academy remains faithful to our mission, to serve the “poorest of the poor” whose parents and guardians desire, but cannot afford a Catholic education. Our average family income is under $20,000 and 97% of those families qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Our unique model offers an extended day and extended year, yet our tuition is only $250 a year. In September 2003, we opened a small school with a big mission – a mission to transform hearts, minds and lives. And all we knew was that we couldn’t fail. It was not an option. The children we welcomed could not afford us to fail. For many of those students, La Salle Academy was the first place to offer refuge from the violence, poverty and drugs that had colored their childhoods. I am full of appreciation to our Board of Trustees and Benefactors who have laid the groundwork for our long-term sustainability throughout the past ten years. Your proceeds help us continue our mission and give our students the educational opportunity to break free from the cycle of generational poverty. Thank you for your investment in our students and in our school. La Salle Academy has done so much good for so many children who might have been left behind. La Salle Academy is truly more than a mission, it is a miracle everyday. With prayerful appreciation, Sister Jeanne McGowan, SSJ President ➤ Page 3 La Salle Academy Annual Report 2012-2013 Chairman’s Letter Dear Friends: On behalf of our Board of Trustees, I offer you all our deepest gratitude for your generous support of La Salle Academy during our 2012 - 2013 fiscal year. Your generosity enables us to continue our efforts to provide a faith-based Catholic education to our students facing the inner city struggles of poverty, addiction, job loss and low graduation rates. Your generosity enables us to provide our students with the tools to have a fighting chance to overcome these obstacles and become productive and successful participants in whatever path they follow. Since 2003, La Salle Academy stands out as a remarkable school and a remarkable community. Our school has been a trailblazer in the transformation of Catholic education. Best practices in education, finance and development drive the mostly lay independent Board of Trustees. In our first ten years, we have cultivated the support of invested donors who have given more than 9,000 gifts and who continue to help us reach our operating budget each year. Each year, our Board of Trustees and donors, like you, provide an amazing education to children who, without your generosity, would be lost in a broken public school system. Most importantly, at the heart of our community lays the belief that a quality, faith-based education can break the cycle of poverty. And, La Salle Academy students have the improved test scores and a strong graduation rate to prove that your donation makes a direct and lasting impact. Your donations are helping us show that a Lasallian educational model working in concert with the dedicated Sisters of St. Joseph community will produce educational results. La Salle Academy succeeds because of your loyal generosity of time, talent and treasure. Thank you for believing in our work, in our community and in our students. Please come visit our unique school to see how your involvement makes a lasting impact, one student at a time. With warm thanks to each of you, Jim Lynch Chairman of the Board of Trustees ➤ Page 4 La Salle Academy Annual Report 2012-2013 Principal’s Letter Dear Friends and Supporters: I look back on the 2012-2013 school year with great pride. Our students have not only grown academically, but in faith and confidence as well. Our Enrichment Center is thriving – students have access to a state of the art science lab and curriculum, as well as a creative space to participate in art class. La Salle Academy students continue to carry the Five Goals while participating in the Character Education and Peer Mediation programs, which directly reflect their actions. Through our new Reading and Math series, professional development and rigorous computer programs, we are able to achieve our Middle States goals of increasing Terra Nova NCE scores well within the allotted timeline. This past year we have celebrated the success of the first decade of La Salle Academy. We are proud of all accomplishment, both big and small, from Graduations, academic honors, sacraments, sports play offs, behavior goals, enrichment clubs to name a few. I am continuously in awe of how much of an impact each friend, donor and supporter of La Salle Academy has on our students. As the Principal of La Salle Academy, I enthusiastically point out that this past year again saw strong increases in our students’ standardized test scores. You will see on this page the incredible academic gains our students made as seen through these scores. I sum up our year in great memories, in students who are proud, in stronger academics, and in the faith and gratitude that you will continue to support our school and our mission. Sincerely, Teresa Diamond, Principal On average, La Salle Academy students show drastic improvement in their Terra Nova Standardized Test scores between the time they enter our school in third grade and the time when they graduate. We have seen this consistency with each class. Our educational philosophy helps students do better in every subject each year. ➤ Page 5 La Salle Academy Annual Report 2012-2013 Financial Summary La Salle Academy is deeply grateful to our Board of Trustees and to our Benefactors who have made this past year (2012-2013) a very successful fundraising year.

On September 14th, we celebrated a decade of success, a decade of teaching in the Lasallian model and a decade of service from committed Board, faculty, staff and volunteers. The Gala’s large turnout, associated generous donations, and the high energy level at the Gala celebrated our history, our school and our mission. It celebrated our students and graduates. Thank you to all who continue our miracle. Thank you for confirming that La Salle Academy is more than a mission - it is a miracle every day.
