The Best of BCD
T
Berkshire Country Day School is proud to be a donor-supported school. During the 2013-14 school year, BCD was again buoyed and encouraged by the essential support offered by our donors who collectively gave $1,400 per student to the Annual Fund for a total of $211,000. Each gift sustained the current health and future vitality of the school while providing for the rich and rewarding experiences of our students. ArtSoirée raised $70,100 which directly supported students and families who benefit from our financial aid program and maintained BCD’s commitment to excellence and the quality of everyone’s learning. Designated
gifts and pledges helped the School complete much-needed improvements to our courtyards and walkways, and the Board of Trustees is purposefully moving forward with the planning of several other components of the Master Facilities Plan. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to Berkshire Country Day School. Your gifts have had a tremendous impact on the children at BCD and our work to accomplish our mission, and I am sincerely appreciative. In gratitude,
Paul Lindenmaier Head of School

Letter from the Head of School
hroughout the year, faculty, staff, and administrators reflect on their work with students and one another, individually and collectively considering BCD’s mission to “inspire the individual promise of every student, that each may become an exemplary citizen of the world.” It is moving to observe the expressions of commitment and deep appreciation that colleagues have for their students and one another. These moments inspired us to learn more and to select a theme for this year’s Annual Report. Faculty and alumni were asked to consider what they thought represented the “best of BCD.” The regard that teachers have for the students and their colleagues, and the fondness alumni express about their time at BCD has been heartening to hear. I’m confident that the short excerpts shared with you in this report will remind you of why you have chosen to support the School.
