Annual Report To Donors 2008 - 2009
Dear Friends, The measurable success of a private and independent educational institution like ours is to be found in the clarity and purposeful direction of its mission, the character and dedication of its people, and the sustaining capacity and growth of its financial support. We are truly blessed that for over ninety years and counting, these three elements have been a distinguishing characteristic and key to our on-going vitality. CFS rests firmly on solid ground and our daily work is dedicated to serving that mission around which talented and caring people continue to gather, and for which they offer a commitment of energy, talent and treasure.
The Rev. Dr. Charles W. Shreiner visits with students on the steps of Greystock Hall during the early 1950’s.
In these pages you will see what I mean expressed in the words and images of several people representative of our purpose. Each offers a perspective on something more than just the meaning of a CFS education; indeed, their testimony is of the very experience of being here, of living and learning in this environment and where that wonderful work and time together may lead. And I trust you will come to know how your support of our mission continues to provide young men with significant, even life-changing, opportunity. This is a gift we aspire to offer now and into the future, and we remain grateful to all our friends and supporters who help make this possible.
Beyond the stories of mission and people, these pages offer a brief and important view into our annual financial condition. We are strong, and yet we also remain dependent on those who believe in who we are and what we do. While endowment income remains substantial, it provides 20% less of the susNed with his student advisees, (L to R) Avery taining capacity it did only two Osborne, Maxwell Drexler, Doolun Anyam, years ago. To offset this reality, Yu Sun, and Matthew Pressman we are dedicated to evaluating and making the necessary adjustments to operations, while seeking to expand both the base of our support through increased annual giving and the number of new friends we can bring into fellowship with us.
“... your support of our mission continues to provide young men with significant, even lifechanging, opportunity.”
We are engaged in important work and we look to you, our current generation of friends and benefactors, to affirm and renew your conviction that we are doing those things of which our founder would be proud and God will continually bless. For that we remain profoundly and eternally grateful. Faithfully yours,

Who We Are... An aspiring veterinarian motivated by community service Joshua Rice ’10, the second of five brothers, came to CFS from Baltimore as a seventh grader. He tells about a trip to the zoo when he was young: “I saw staff taking care of an injured elephant, and I knew I wanted to do something like that.” As part of the CFS community service program, Josh has worked at Chenoa Manor, an animal sanctuary, and “helping Dr. Rob with the animals there made me think specifically about becoming a vet.” He completed more than 100 hours of service this past year, part of the over 2,500 total hours worked by Church Farm students.
Josh tending one of the llamas at Chenoa Manor, an animal sanctuary where students regularly volunteer as part of the CFS community service program.
Another important lesson that Josh has learned at CFS is time management, as he juggles academic (honor roll student) and other commitments. He works as a prefect in a cottage with 7th and 8th graders, helping with their studies as well as enforcing rules. Josh comments that it’s hard work always being the role model for the younger guys. He also gets up before his classmates each day to work in the dining hall, serving breakfast to the CFS community. In addition to his work and service efforts this past year, Josh was part of a group that organized a new student government organization.
When asked what’s special about CFS, Josh said, “All the adults here really care, you can go to any one of them for help.” He especially appreciates his faculty advisor, Ms. Sarah O’Neill, who has been a “great help with both big and small things.” When asked about Josh, Sarah said that he is a great young man, but most importantly “he knows what is right, and he stands up for it, even when it’s not popular.” Josh’s younger brother, Tyler, who hopes to start at CFS in September, 2010, has a strong role model to follow.
A dedicated teacher learning alongside his students It’s hard to know who learns more in one of Eric Fulmer’s classes, the students or the instructor. “Teaching history, I’ve got to keep learning, there is just so much to know,” says this third-year teacher. When he arrived at Church Farm, Eric knew that he had big shoes to fill, those of beloved, long-time teacher, Joe Rhile – and fill them he did. This past year, Eric taught A/P (Advanced Placement) History for his first time, and seven of his nine students passed the rigorous A/P exam, with three earning a perfect score (5) – a record for CFS. “I always knew that I wanted to teach, and if I was going to do it, to do it well,” says Eric. He completed his degree in history and secondary education, with teacher certification, at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre. Although certification is not necessary for independent school teachers, Eric notes that Director of Academics Ken Rodgers is going in this direction. “I really appreciate Ken’s vision for our academic program – increasing the rigor for both students and teachers,” says Eric. Consistent with this, he is working on his master’s in education, and anticipates receiving his degree from Cabrini College next spring.
Eric Fulmer keeps his students interested with an active approach to teaching.
What really drew Eric to CFS, however, is the sense of community, plus the benefit of classes of eight to twelve students, allowing teachers to adapt their methods to the different learning styles of students. Asked about his classroom style, he said “to be effective you can’t lecture, you’ve got to make it interactive. The students need to be reacting, really thinking, working their minds to understand complex issues.” Eric also emphasizes technology to challenge students and keep them engaged. His students report that in Mr. Fulmer’s classes “you work hard, but he always makes it interesting.” Their teacher notes “our students are here because they want to be, they want to learn.” This combination makes for a very powerful learning environment at CFS, for both students and teachers.

Who We Are... A parent seeking a small school and diverse student body “Parents and sons find their own unique way to CFS,” says Rachel Lawton, parent of Kody, who will be graduating in June, 2010. Kody, Rachel’s second son, is a bright, athletic young man who needed a new environment. The very diverse, small boarding school environment of CFS seemed the perfect choice for Kody, who came to CFS as a 10th grader. “It’s been a great balance between living at CFS and coming home on weekends,” notes Rachel, “and with Bob Price as his houseparent in Rhinelander Cottage, I always know that Kody is in good, safe, supportive hands while he is at school.” This involved parent describes CFS as a “nurturing, yet stimulating” environment where boys can grow up and become responsible, successful students and moral individuals. Small classes ensure that students are challenged academically, yet “they are not overly-burdened, so they gain confidence in their abilities.” Like many CFS students, sports are a top priority for Kody. Rachel enthuses, “He has had a lot of fun playing soccer and baseball, and the coaching has been excellent as well.” Parent/Teacher Nights connect school and home. Rachel has met all of Kody’s teachers during these events and remarks, “I have felt that each of them wanted the best for him and helped him to set and achieve ambitious goals.”
Rachel Lawton, mother of Kody ’10, is a founding member of the CFS Parents’ Association.
Kody is in the process of applying to colleges and doesn’t know yet where he’ll be going. Wherever that is, Rachel says, “I believe he is well-prepared to take the next step towards discovering what he wants to do with his life and determining how he is going to get there, because of the ‘total person preparation’ he has received at CFS. As a parent, that’s what I want from a school.”
An alumnus with a mission to serve his country Paul Miranda ’04 has many memories of CFS, but his fondest is of his “band of brothers.” He recalls, “I had such close friendships with my classmates at CFS, and I tried really hard to build the same kind of relationships when I got to college. However, I wasn’t able to do it – there is something unique about the time, the place, the closeness we experienced.” In his years since graduating, Paul cites other important influences from his CFS experience. “Dr. (Bob) Devenney – learning math from him was one of the things that made me want to get into engineering.” The other area was leadership – that it’s a “two-way street.” Paul says that while people may think it’s difficult to be the one in charge, the real challenge is being a good team player. He’s found that “followership” is an essential part of leadership. Paul came to CFS from Jersey City, N.J., as a ninth grader with his twin brother, Peter, at the urging of his favorite 7th grade teacher. They both excelled as students. Paul was a Student Ambassador, member of Griffin Odyssey, was inducted into the National Honor Society, and received the Union League Award for Citizenship. He graduated from Drexel University, completed his ROTC training, and despite several job opportunities, chose to join the Army as a member of a Combat Engineering unit. Paul cites General Colin Powell as one of his inspirations. Powell said, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.”
Paul receiving his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army; behind him are his parents, Danilo Miranda and Marieta David.
As far as continuing his support for his CFS “band of brothers” Paul says, “right now I want to be involved with helping the seniors get into college, especially those who want to join the military or go into engineering.” He says that eventually he’d like to develop an active network of alumni supporting current students through networking and mentoring.

Keeping Faith The Rev. Dr. Charles Wesley Shreiner established the Church Farm School in 1918 with five boys and a dream: to provide an opportunity where seemingly there was none. Specifically, he set his sights on supporting single parent homes with little financial means to raise and educate sons. He was often quoted as saying, “If God gives us a vision of something that He wants done, He also gives us the ability to do it.” The “Colonel,” as he was known and admired, lived by this maxim, and we continue to do so today. By design, our primary source of financial support is not derived from tuition. At every step, thanks to the faithful generosity of loyal friends, alumni and parents, we have built a strong and vibrant school community upon the founder’s vision. Simply put, through their charitable giving to the Annual Fund and Endowment, these generous saints have kept faith with us and continue to make the CFS mission a living reality for many deserving families, providing us with the ability to do what needs to be done.

Annual Giving Annual Giving contributes significant additional financial resources to the annual operation of the school and also, when designated, provides added resources to the school’s endowment. Giving to CFS totaled nearly $1.2 million during the past fiscal year, a time of challenging economic conditions. While this presented a decrease from prior years, reflective of decreased philanthropic giving across the nation during the time period, CFS maintained its high level of service in all program areas.

Annual Fund 2008 - 2009 The Annual Fund seeks to establish and maintain a regular habit of annual giving among all constituencies of the school community. Numbers of people participating and the amount given each year offer CFS a vote of confidence as well as a predictable source of revenue, relieving pressure on tuition and endowment. It is an important indicator of the value of our mission and its future sustainability.

Annual Report To Donors 2008 - 2009
Keeping Faith The Annual Fund contributed $296,000 during 2008-2009. A decline from prior years, this figure is reflective of general trends across the country. Unlike most other independent schools, it is the friends of CFS who make up a larger portion of our support than any other constituent group.
Endowment Making a CFS education affordable has been at the heart of all giving for over ninety years, and the CFS Endowment Fund is at the center of all efforts to sustain our founding mission and business model. It is designed and managed to generate sufficient revenue to support annual operations.

The CFS Endowment Fund performed better than its comparative benchmarks during the past year, yet as with other non-profit organizations both nationally and world-wide, the investment portfolio suffered a significant decline. While this appears dramatic in a one-year window, careful management of a diversified portfolio has delivered an average annual gain of 8.5% over the past fifteen years.

During 2008-2009, the endowment provided 76.5% of operational funding. This represents a 5.46% draw against the fund’s three-year rolling average, below our 6.01% budget goal, and moving towards our longterm target of a 5% spending rate. The Board of Directors and CFS administration continue to monitor all operational expenses and funding sources.
Operations The operating budget is dedicated to the CFS mission and primarily sustains the dedicated faculty and staff who offer an outstanding, enriching and technology-based, college-preparatory program within carefullymaintained, modern and safe facilities on a 147-acre campus.

CFS strives to make its program affordable, particularly to those for whom such an experience would be otherwise unattainable. The average tuition paid last year was $5,300 and remains one of the lowest of any private boarding school in the country. While “full” tuition is $18,000, 93% of families received additional financial assistance.

Building Community In 2008-2009, CFS had a student body of 180 young men in grades 7-12. Eighty-seven percent of students boarded in our ten cottages. Although most came to CFS from the Mid-Atlantic region (Pa., N.Y., N.J., Del. and Md.), students represented 13 states and three additional countries. International students made up 17% of our student body. CFS remains one of the most diverse independent schools in the nation, both ethnically and economically.

There are 27 full-time and six part-time academic faculty members, of whom 60% hold advanced degrees. The student-teacher ratio is 6:1. Classes average eight students, with a median class size of nine students. CFS provides a full range of college-preparatory courses, including 58 core courses (five Advanced Placement) and 17 electives, within a strong academic support system. Ninety-one percent of this year’s graduating students have enrolled in four-year colleges, with the remainder starting at two-year schools. We have an active chapter of the National Honor Society, which inducted four new members this year, and 195 total students during its 25-year history. A National Art Honor Society was recently established as well.
Math teacher Rich Lunardi, who also serves as CFS college counselor, explains a problem to one of his classes.
The school offers a wide variety of student activities. Nine varsity sports participate in PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) competition, and one club sport (fencing) is also offered. The CFS Choir is locally renowned and has toured both nationally and internationally. The CFS Jazz Band placed 11th out of 87 schools at the Berklee College of Music competition during the ’08-’09 school year. CFS students participating in DECA (marketing/business club) placed regionally and state-wide, while the school had two national finalists this past year. Student and faculty artwork was featured at shows throughout the year hosted in the Samuel L. Phillips ’30 Art Gallery in Greystock Hall.
Keita Rodgers ’10 was the DECA state champion in Public Speaking, earning him a trip to the national convention in California.
All students participate in a work program during free periods of the school day, or on weekends. Jobs cover a wide range of areas, including grounds & maintenance, tutoring, office work and kitchen help. Furthermore, each student must complete a minimum community service work requirement, assisting with both on- and off-campus events and projects. CFS students as a group performed over 2,500 hours of community service this year.

Building Community 2008 Tyler Award Winner: Caryl Greaves Remarks upon accepting the award in September of 2008 I want to thank the school for giving me this award, as it is indeed an honor. However, I feel like I should be giving CFS an award for changing the lives of so many young men, especially those of “my boys.” I have been coming to CFS for over fifteen years, and this is the first time that I do not have one of “my boys” here. You might ask me how many children I have. While I only have one of my own, there are many families to whom I’ve suggested the CFS option. I have seen their sons grow into fine men, each a testimony to the difference that this school makes in young lives.
Previous Tyler Award winners Marc Turner (L) and Sally Graham (R) with ’08’s honoree, Carol Greaves, and her son Nigel, ’95.
Here is my story: When my husband died in 1991, my son, Nigel, was in his second year at a well-known catholic high school in the Bronx, N.Y. He struggled academically, socially and emotionally. He could not play the sports he loved, because he didn’t “make the team,” and he was disenchanted with school and disillusioned about his ability to succeed. I was desperate for a solution and a school that could make him believe in himself again. I told my story to Bill Seymour (CFS class of ’78 and Executive Director of Development), whom I have known for more than twenty years now, from way back in another life when he sold computer software. He said to me, “Your son sounds very much like me when I was fifteen.” I asked him, “You seemed to have turned out all right, what did your mother do?” He said, “My mother sent me to a little school in Pennsylvania that changed my life.” The rest is history. Bill invited us to visit Church Farm. Nigel liked what he saw, and spent his last two years of high school here. I can still hear Dr. Devenney and Mr. Lunardi saying to me that first year, “If we could just light the fire under him...” I am happy to report that the fire was lit, stoked, and is still burning brightly. After Nigel graduated in 1995, I found myself in Bill’s place, listening to friends or family sharing their frustrations with what was going on in their sons’ lives, and I now was able to offer CFS as an option. There was C.J. Shillingford ’98, my cousin’s son from Hempstead, N.Y., who came here with his head down, unable to look you in the eye. Yet, later he proudly played “The Queen” in the Christmas Pageant, and spoke at his graduation ceremony. Hassan Symes, who was the son of a childhood friend and struggled to fit in at a public high school in Rockland County, N.Y., came here and thrived, graduating in 2000. At his wedding in July, more than half of his wedding party was made up of his friends from CFS. They came from as far away as South Korea and Latin America, and from right here – Chuck Watterson, his house parent. The best part of that wedding for me was when Hassan came up to thank me for telling him about CFS, where he made such wonderful friends. There was Kerri Deschamps ’05, whose family was moving and did not know where he would go to school; Dwight Brown ’06, came to CFS at the urging of his brother, Nigel’s college roommate, who was determined to give his younger brother a better chance than the public high school in the Bronx. My godson, Daryl Paynter, was the son of a dear friend who had breast cancer and was undergoing treatment. Daryl spent six years at CFS, graduating in 2003, which allowed his mother to focus on her treatment and be confident that he was in good hands. And finally, Max Jenkins, my grandson, who graduated this past June, and who had spent seventh grade without a math teacher in a New York City public school. These young men, and so many others like them, may not have been straight “A” students or attended Ivy league colleges, but I can tell you that they have all grown up to be fine young men - respectful, socially well-adjusted and confident in their ability to succeed and find their place in the world. They are the reason why I am and continue to be a CFS ambassador.
The Tyler Griffin Award for Excellence in Ambassadorship was established to recognize those individuals who have gone above and beyond in their support of CFS and its students. J. Tyler Griffin served as the Chairman of the CFS Board for many years, and he and his wife, Sonia, have been most generous supporters of CFS. We are pleased to honor Tyler’s legacy each year with this award.

So do not be afraid to tell your story — I am sure many of you have one — and to give the option of CFS to a friend or a neighbor. It may make the difference in a young man’s life!

Michael Scott - Friend of CFS Michael Scott, one of the most loyal and generous donors in Church Farm history, did not attend the school; he did not work here, nor did he have any familial connections to its mission or program. In fact, Mr. Scott has never even visited the CFS campus. He is one of those many “friends,” who simply learned of the school, its mission, merits and needs, and chose to become a supporter at an early age. He was fresh out of Yale, just starting his career when he had the opportunity to meet our founder and learn of his passion. Mr. Scott describes his own youth, how when he was 17, away at a New England boarding school, his father, a Rear Admiral and Naval Executive Director of Development Academy graduate, was lost in battle during Bill Seymour ’78 visits with Mr. Scott WWII, leaving his family crushed and destitute. at his winter home in Hawaii. “If only my family had known of a place such as Church Farm,” he muses. Mr. Scott describes the thrill he felt upon meeting the Colonel at the home of a college classmate and hearing about the school that helped so many deserving young men, especially those from military families. He began to support the school by ordering stationery from its print shop. As he progressed in his career and found his own success, Mr. Scott increased his level of support to the Annual Fund and capital campaigns.
A portrait of Michael Scott’s father, Medal of Honor recipient Rear Admiral Norman Scott, who died in 1942, during WWII
Remembering his own history, Mr. Scott notes that the fact the school holds a special place for the sons of those who serve has always meant a great deal to him, as it makes Church Farm unique in many ways. We salute Mr. Michael Scott and thank him, as well as our graduates who have continued the brave tradition of service to country, for their faith and commitment. Annual Report To Donors 2008 - 2009

Make a Planned Gift to CFS Lyle Schweitzer ’49 celebrated his 60th reunion this past year. Lyle and his wife, Jean, have made a bequest to CFS as part of their estate plan. “I wasn’t much of a student in those days, not in the traditional sense, anyway. But, did I ever learn some important lessons at Church Farm that have continued to serve me well throughout my life!” Please contact Bill Seymour ’78 at bseymour@gocfs.net or 610-8361447 if you are interested in learning more about planned giving opportunities at CFS.
