Lighthouse Reports 2013-2014 Annual Development Report
Lighthouse Reports 2013-2014 Annual Development Report Dear Friends, Imagine a journey through time to the Lighthouse Christian School of the future. Can you envision what our school will be five, 10 or 20 years down the road? Think about the thousands of children who will be blessed as students over that time. Consider the lives that will be eternally changed through a leading-edge, private education at a school where the name of Jesus Christ is clearly proclaimed as Lord! That future vision is beginning to take shape and already stands upon a strong foundation at Lighthouse today. Thanks to the Lord’s provision and the dedication of faithful donors, we are blessing the 345 students who proudly called themselves Lighthouse Navigators this year, as well as future generations of Navigators years before they set foot on campus. You play a vital role in this endeavor, and on behalf of the Board of Directors I offer you this message of deep gratitude for joining us on this important journey. As with any journey, it’s good to pause for a moment and look back on the visible portions of the road traveled, to gain perspective and a sense of accomplishment, and I want to highlight some of the progress we’ve made over the past 12 months. Multi year giving through our Legacy Builders program totaled $343,887 in 2013-14, adding 10 new Legacy Builder families to our ranks for this important program. These funds enable us to budget more effectively, invest in our program, and ensure that our tuition assistance program remains robust – bringing in students and revenues that otherwise we would not have. In addition, you contributed a combined $240,452 through the auction, annual fund and designated gifts last year – funds that will be used to offset operating expenses and invest in enhancements to our technology initiative and the new iMac mobile lab. Although we are moving in the right direction financially, our focus continues to be on supporting our outstanding faculty and staff, building our program, and reducing our $2.7 million building debt which runs $180,000 per year. By March of 2016 (3:16) our desire is to dramatically reduce – or better yet eliminate – the debt. Please join me in praying for that! I hope you’ll enjoy this year’s Annual Development Report, and I want to again offer my sincere thanks for your partnership. I appreciate all you do, and I pray that you will continue to join Lighthouse Christian School as it moves toward what is clearly a very bright future. Sincerely, Mark Soupiset, Chairman Lighthouse Christian School Board of Directors Beyond Tuition- funding the LCS Program Fundraising Totals 2013-2014 $584,339 Annual Fund $26,150 Designated Giving $76,706 Auction $137,596 Stewardship & Generous Hearts Legacy Program $343,887 Year ended June 30, 2014. Unaudited - Cash Basis Revenue vs. Expenses 2013-2014 3,000,000 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. This results in a typical gap of 15% between tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating a child at Lighthouse. This remaining gap is serviced through our fundraising efforts. 2,900,000 All Expenses 2,800,000 2,700,000 2,978,362 2,600,000 Student Income 2,578,227 2,500,000 2,400,000 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 to enhance curriculum and facilities. To do this each year, we ask all of our families to prayerfully consider participating in ways that are fitting for them. There are several ways families can help to support the Lighthouse Mission: • Legacy Builders • Annual Dinner and Auction held each spring • Annual Fund “Quest for Excellence” Each student at Lighthouse Christian School benefits from the vision and generosity of many dedicated parents and supporters. Every gift - large or small - makes a major difference. Thank you for your support and confidence in us as a school. Your giving makes an incredible difference to the students and faculty at Lighthouse Christian today and in the future. As a 501c(3) organization, gifts to Lighthouse are tax deductible as allowable by law. 2 2,300,000 Year ended June 30, 2014.

Unaudited Instruconal Supplies Student Programs - Cash Basis Strategic Plan: 2013-2023 Strategic planning: Year one 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 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 • After studying other entities’ facility plans the wheels are in motion for an overall campus Master Facility Plan to help efficiently plan for the future. • 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. 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. New Mobile Lab Computers for 2014-15 Year While the existing mobile lab has served LCS well during the past 7 years, constantly changing technology and system requirements to run new software and manage multiple users effectively necessitated the upgrade to the new MacBook Air laptops. Thanks to generous donors at last year’s Garden Gala auction, the 24 new mobile lab computers and the new e-catalog for our library are now a reality for the 2014-15 school year. “ The new lab gives us greater opportunities for students in elementary grades to do “high end” media projects while also providing flexibility in scheduling our Middle School electives which require faster computers. “ OBJECTIVE 2: Employees fully engaged • Developed an engagement survey to determine a baseline, set a goal for compensation and benefits and establish priorities moving forward. • Enhanced focus on: Commitment, Collaboration and Competence as a means of evaluating staff.

Within months, an exploratory parent meeting was held and the foundation of Lighthouse was laid. Under God’s constant guidance this pioneer group witnessed God’s providence again and again. Blessed with the support of local churches and a wonderful staff, Lighthouse opened its doors in the fall of 1994 to 90 students in grades K – 8. This fall, we welcome 345 students as we continue to offer a strong K-8 academic program, and help students to shine God’s light in the Gig Harbor and Kitsap Peninsula communities. Join us this school year as we celebrate 20 years of Lighthouse and look forward to the tremendous future God has planned for us.
