2007 Annual Report - Headwaters School
ANNUAL REPORT 20 07 from our board chair 2007 was a year of expanding and solidifying the foundation of the vibrant community of The Khabele School. The Board of Directors was particularly concerned with ensuring that Khabele remained fiscally strong following the large expansion in 2006. The Board of Directors conscientiously tracked the school’s progress and fiscal soundness. The Khabele School is going into 2008 with a foundation of continued excellence and fiscal responsibility. On behalf of the board, I am happy to report that through strong fundraising, which included the inspiring and fun One World fundraiser in April, acquiring important grants and the 90% participation of The Khabele School families in a parent-led matching donation, the financial foundation of The Khabele School remains strong. We want to thank each and every person in The Khabele School Community who participated in any way – every contribution made a difference. Not only did the school get through the challenges posed by the expansion, but The Khabele School offered substantial scholarships for students for the fall 2007 semester. The acquisition and creation of the studio in November of 2007 added new dimensions and opportunities for the school. Students attend dance, martial arts, yoga, and music classes there. The studio has also served as a place for art exhibits and dance workshops. We are proud of all of these accomplishments. Sincerely, Cathy Benouis, Board Chair This 2007 edition of our Annual Report is designed to thank and acknowledge our donors, volunteers, staff, and board. Thank you to all of you. Without you, the Khabele School would not be possible. Please accept our apologies if anyone is missing from this Annual Report. Please e-mail any corrections or additions to Development Director Moya Khabele at [email protected]. All acknowledgements and financial reports are for the fiscal calendar year of January 2007 through December 2007. Thank you to Cate Tschumy for annual report editing, and to the KhabeleYearbook Staff for the photography. As a community, we have had an exciting, significant and successful year. The most notable aspect of the past year is that we effectively went through a large expansion of the physical space and community. Going through this process while providing scholarships and maintaining fiscal responsibility was not a small feat. There were times when it was tempting to become overwhelmed by the minutia of our daily work and get sidetracked by merely trying to make it to the end of the year. As is the case when any organization that goes through substantial change, our mission and vision were tested and even reevaluated. Standing on the other side of this change affords us a more objective viewpoint. It allows us to get present to what all the work was for. It is though this objectivity that we can remind ourselves of our true purpose. As a community, we share an aspiration to make the mission of the school available to as many people as possible. This mission is to cultivate learning communities in which every person realizes their profound beauty, falls in love with learning and lives with courage and authenticity. As powerful as this intention is, it is made possible only through each person contributing something valuable. Whether you have contributed your time, your insight, your expertise, or your money, we want to acknowledge that it has made a real difference in the lives of the young people in our community. As you consider your contribution for the future, we invite you to keep the mission of the school in mind. Please enjoy this year’s Annual Report. We are thanking over 200 donors, over 70 volunteers, and almost 30 staff and board members. Their dedication, hard work, and generosity have made the fulfillment of our unique mission possible for our 150 students. We appreciate your support and we invite you to share this Annual Report with friends, family, and colleagues. As the school has grown, so should our network of supporters. Thank you. With appreciation, Khotso Khabele, Director our mission To cultivate learning communities in which each and every student, parent, and staff member realizes their profound beauty, falls in love with learning, and lives with courage and authenticity Our vision is that very person throughout the world has access to an inspiring, enlivening, and open learning community.
